Turning Screen Off - LG G Watch

CLOSED

I found out how to turn off screen in or out the charger with screen always off or on. I just place my finger across the whole screen from top to bottom, it vibrates then turns off. I don't know if this has been mention yet, or if this is just me and my watch.

You didn't read the manual of the watch did you? And also this doesn't solve the display on while charging, it only dimms and doesn't turn off.

Yes obviously. That's why it's called always on. But we are trying to find a solution to turn off the screen completely when charging, whether always on is active or not
It already says this in the manual: "Dim the screen: Press your palm onto the screen until it vibrates"

Turn off flip to turn on

Is it possible to turn off the function what makes the watch turn when you flip it? When turning your arm to look at it.

Not that I know of. Now if you turn the screen off in the phone settings; the watch will require a bit more from you to turn on when you look at it. Sometimes for me, takes 2-4 seconds to turn on to read. Most times I just touch the face. LOL

Has been answered dozen of times:
Not if you still wan't to see notifications, else just mute the watch, this disables the gesture also.

How do I add the flashlight to the 2nd screen?

I don't see the flashlight app from the quick menu in the list of apps I can add to the 2nd screen. Is there something I'm missing?

It's there when the 1st screen is off. Just swipe over to get to it.
Thanks.
Disable swipe shortcuts?
Is there a way to disable these swipe shortcuts on the second screen when the main screen is off? I keep mine in my pocket and the phone keeps turning on the flashlight, etc. while inside my pocket because it's triggering these shortcuts.
I like the second screen being on for notifications and such (especially because there is no notification light ) but like this morning I got to work at 92% battery because my phone was running the flashlight for my entire 10 minute commute.

The screen shouldn't be staying on in your pocket. It uses the proximity/light sensor to to shut it off when it's covered up.

"Shouldn't be" but it is. I also have pulled out my phone to be greeted with "You have incorrectly entered your knock code 5 times".
EDIT: I'm just now thinking this may be an issue with the tempered glass screen protector. After I get a case on it I will see if taking that off helps the prox sensor respond better.

I've turned the flashlight on plenty of times by mistake. When I grab the phone by the top with a couple of fingers and put it in the arm rest in the car, I'll notice that I have inadvertently turned the flashlight on.

Yeah... that's why I just wish I could turn those shortcuts off altogether since I really don't need them and I activate them by mistake way more than I do on purpose. I like second screen, but don't like that it can activate functions/change volume while the phone is locked and there's no way to prevent that besides totally disabling it while the screen is off...

Has anyone found out how to add the flashlight to the second screen? I removed it by mistake and now I can't add it back. It's not on the list of options (apps) to add...

Phone wakes up by itself

Anyone else experiencing this? Screen wakes up for no reason and stays on permanently till I turn off. I'm on bad boys from BTW, thanks.

what do you mean by "very dim"?! too much brightness or too less?
i see mine get like "auto brightness" like see the screen set itself more brightness and less when in direct sunlight with auto mode disabled...
thats what i know so far...your problem will be like the same i think?!
Too dark, it doesn't change to brighter as it did before

but in your brightness slider you can go to 100% brightness or you only can go to 90?%?
If you can go to 100 and anyway is too dark aybe you need to replace your screen because is faulty.

ah ok, fine...only now i see what your problem, i think is the screen itself and not the second screen, if the second screen is too dim is because the sensor on the side of the top speaker can be dirty on it and it doesnt detect the light trough it...
if this happen again to see if they are some dirt on it simple with your phone locked put it under direct light above that sensor and if the second screen gets brighter then is ok, if not clean the sensor.

You are right, it happens all the time, when I move the phone away in a call, the screen doesnt light-up, I had to press the power button, until I found that whiping that sensor lights it most of the time, must have very little sensitivity

for sure its the sensor...my second screen have a delay maybe 4/5 seconds when put in sunlight to be more bright and its clean! but this second screen in V10 arent too bright like in V20.
Also my call screen doesnt show up too when i need to end a call, i need to click on power button to wake the screen but i get used to it now.

Screen doesn't turn off in theater mode

When I double tap the button to turn on theater mode, the screen doesn't appear to actually turn off. If I'm in a very dark room I can make out a faint red tint on the screen. This is different from when the device is completely off. Any ideas why (I assume because of the LCD screen) and/or how to turn the screen entirely off?
I have the same problem.
Did you find a solution?

Nope. I assume it's an unfixable hardware issue.
