Hi
I have several questions :
1. I already experienced that the night clock doesn't appear instantly when you put the watch onto the charger. Sometimes it takes a time till it appears.
2. What about screen burn from the night clock? I read about it in the forum for the first gen moto 360. Is it still a issue with the 2nd Gen 360?
3. There are wear developer options in the developer options. And there is the option "burn-in protection" (I hope it's called that way in English, I've got it on German) but it won't activate even after reboot as it tells me to do.

I disable the night clock by turning on theater mode (double click the side button). But I do this because it seems to fix the heart rate monitor from tracking the apparent 100BPM of the charger lol.
I use the Slumber app that automatically turns the screen off as soon as you place the watch on the charger.
I don't think there will be any burn in issue, since Moto360v2 have LCD screen. Burn-in have place on OLED screens only (Huawei Watch for example) since they have organic diods which degrade over time. LCD don't have this issue at all because they have one backlit light for all pixels and 'rotating' pixels. With LCD screens nothing is affected by the picture on the screen (technically). With OLED screens each pixel emits light on its own, therefore degradation of pixels is dependant on the picture on the screen (whether this particular pixel emits the light most time or not) = burn in.
Therefore night mode on Moto360 can be used safely for as long as you wish.

Hola
I tried this slumber app but it did not turn my screen off during charging. Yes, I did launch the app from the watch and ensured that it was enabled.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

The button to enable/disable Slumber wasn't very intuitive to me. I actually disabled it when I wanted to enable it, so you may have the same problem. Try toggling the setting the other way around.
also, incase anyone noticed, slumber only puts a black overlay on top of the clock. the screen is still lit up at night, but it's black. incredibly stupid on Motorola to not let us shut off the screen.

how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

i have a solution
1) put the charger and the touchpad into a box
2) tape the box up

4) take it to the post office and send it to me

Hi all,
When I charge my HP TP running CM9 nightly, a clock screen is displayed automatically. I note that after my screen time out period of five minutes, the screen does power off, however when I wake up in the morning the screen is on displaying the clock screen - I guess email or some other notifications turn the screen back on.
Basically, can I change the behaviour so that when I put the TP onto the Touchstone, nothing special happens and this clock isn't displayed? I have an app that switches the screen off when the case is closed, and essentially this charging behaviour is interfering with this. I don't want the TP clock blazing away lighting the screen up all night.
Thanks,
Andy
Wow some refuse to do any work on their own....
If you want to shut the screen down all you have to do is hit the power button and the screen shuts down
As far as the Desk Clock app... You simply go into app manager and clear the defaults for it

I'm puzzled by your sarcasm - no, I can't figure this out by myself as I can't identify the configurable part of android that triggers this clock front end. I had Googled it but I can't find a suitable answer there either. Whilst I can shut the screen off with the power button, as per my original post when I wake up in the morning the screen has come back on.
Cheers!

Then you have something installed waking your TP that we have no way of troubleshooting without some type of log.... when you shut the screen down there is no reason for Android to turn it back on unless YOU have EXPLICITLY given an app YOU installed permission to do so. As far as the clock... when you set the TP on the Touchstone one of two things happens... a dialog box comes up with the apps that can by default be activated when placed on Touchstone OR YOU HAVE designated a default app to do this....
Now if YOU can't remember which app YOU ALLOWED to run then you have one of two choices.... go through all the apps in app manager clearing all defaults OR wipe all data and start from scratch and pay attention to what you press this time

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately you are wrong.
I only have the clock app installed that triggers when the device docks - no other apps respond to this event, therefore when I dock the device I don't get presented with the option/choice, it just displays the clock as there is no alternative. I've found the best solution to be to install 'Screen Off ' from the market. This has an option to act on the dock event, and now when I put the device on the dock I get given the choice as to whether to show the clock or to power off the screen. This works pretty much perfectly, and without the clock showing the screen stays off, instead of coming back on randomly after I shut it off - therefore, I don't think that the clock was coming back on before due to notifications from apps/emails, but be cause the clock app itself was triggering - possibly when the device reaches full charge or something and temporarily disconnects from the dock or something, I don't know. In summary, you need more than one app installed that is coded to respond to the dock event, otherwise when you dock the device android just defaults to the dock event and powers the screen back on periodically. I have never explicitly enabled this behaviour, and without installing another app it seemingly cannot be changed or disabled.
I thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, but I think you should learn something from this thread - just because a problem may seem to be user error doesn't necessarily mean that it is - your post is completely wrong which is fine as I appreciate that you are just trying to help, but by getting all aggressive over it you've just ended up looking a little stupid. The forums should be all about helping people, not ridiculing them - hopefully this post will serve to help anyone out with a similar predicament.
Cheers.
Ignore cdzo72 - he's one of the most sarcastic members of this forum. He seems to have a hate on for anyone who has an issue with anything, and can't solve it for themselves. You get used to him, and ignoring him.

The clock app doesn't trigger itself. Mine charges all night and never turns back on. That said, it is almost impossible to move the pad while it's on the TS without charge disconnecting and reconnecting. And that will trigger the clock app. So, if you have the TS on an unstable surface that allows ir to be inadvertently "jiggled", that could cause the clock to turn back on.

Hey Man,
I don't know if it affects other devices to be honest. On my phone the clock app is configurable, but on my Cyanogenmod9 HP TP tablet it isn't something that you can change the behaviour of (if you tap the stock 'Clock' app it just locks the screen and displays a clock, you cant set any options like on my SGSII). I don't know if this is a feature of tablet OS'es in general, or just the CM iteration of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Either way, the 'Screen Off' app references working with a number of docks (blurb specifically references Sony ones) so I'd give it a shot and hopefully it will work for you.
I had that problem too, it was very annoying. I installed dock no op from the market and it finally stopped waking me up. That seems like the only option since cm9 doesn't let you set the dock behavior.
I'm noticing that whenever I use a certain watch face (for example one that I had to install like the Calendar watch) I notice that the entire watch is not displayed in the face when I move my arm to check the time. Instead I just see a basic time display in white numbers. I was wondering if samsung did this on purpose to conserve battery power or is there a way to change this somehow?

Have you tired watchStyler for gear S
Yes I have tried watch styler, but found the issue could be corrected if I went to settings -> wake-up screen -> last screen.
Change display setting
Just change in display settings to show last screen, not show clock on screen wake up.
I am using the stock clock (the first one) and notice that on gesture wake up, I don't get the battery/date/notification info and don't see the second hand either, unless I tap the screen.
Is this normal?

It's really unacceptable how all those lovely watch designs in the store have the same ugly digital always-on face. Only the first 3 built in watch faces have a corresponding analog always-on watch face. I find this to be a huge limitation of the device and has kept me only using those 3 watch faces.

Might be trivial to you. The always-on watch face is huge to me. Being a d*ck about it doesn't change anything.
And its unacceptable, because its already implemented and therefore its not a hardware limitation. Samsung are just being retarded in dealing with their watch face developers.

@ozaghloul has a point... Samsung has been "lacking" with the watch face devs, I dont believe they have released the watch face sdk and I dont know if they ever will. The always on feature tends to be useful, I know my watch hasnt always responded to the on "motion" at times.

In fact I find that switching off the motion and using the always-on screen actually saves a bit of battery. Also the always-on screen just looks so good especially at night. Not to mention how much quicker it is to glance at the watch and not have to wait for the motion to wake it up (sometimes unsuccessfully).
All that talk is about the nice analog always on screens of the first 3 faces (also number 6 has a nice analog). Its not about that Fugly nasty tiny little digital clock you get with all the other faces.
It should be fixed already long time ago! I'm not going to buy any watchface until they won't have different "Clock Always On" option.
Just wanna say that i agree that there should be more faces for always on..i use always on and no motion

I totally agree with this. I honestly thought owing a Gear S with my Note 4 would be a much better experience. In reality it's not all it's cracked up to be. Even more so since Watchstyler has stopped working...Lame.
I don't understand how the developers are just accepting this. This directly affects their revenues too, because I am certain many more people will buy watch faces if they become fully functional.

Totally agree with you! I've been patient but now it's just pathetic... Device these days is nothing without proper software and proper updates to its software... I would totally buy some new watchfaces but it's missing it's point without new "Always ON watch face".
There are some really great 3rd party watchfaces but they are missing this crucial factor!
And still, the other thing is that. There should be an option to deactivate "touch to wake" when "Clock Always" is ON. Now, when taking the shower it's going CraaaaAzy! And the same while running with a long sleeve (moisture inside of the sleeve)
1. Hopefully the new sdk wich come days agoo fix this?!
2. Why dont any devps respond?
Hi,
There is only one watch face which has an option to Turn on "Always On". Its name is "Desk Clock". Its free
It is not a "real" Samsung mode Always ON. If we select Always ON on Gear setting we have the classic digital clock and not this. It is just a clock wich avoid the dim mode and force the Gear to not sleep.
Hello everyone, I did the following, there is only one thing you must get used to and you can have your favourite watch face available with the wake-up gesture on, here is what I did in the gear s "settings--> display--> wake-up screen--> select "Last screen". The only down side to this is you must remember to hit the home button to your home screen before going into sleep. When the screen is off and you glance the watch face will appear and not the digital clock from the other non samsung default watch faces.
Remember by doing so more battery will be used unless you select a similar watch face as the digital one. It will show for the same 10 seconds as the digital face.
A bonus to this is that you do not have to tap the screen to wake from the digital clock, you go directly to the home screen, that is one less tap per glance.
Do not forget to hit the home button, you will get used to that or swipe down till you get the home screen.
Enjoy!!!
Whilst I do sympathise with the OP (and if it is a big deal for him then that's for good reason) I do think this watch looks amazing with some of the clocks that are available in the store and to not show them off when you flick your wrist is a bit of a waste really. Also there are a couple of clock faces on the Samsung Store that you can enable always on, they seem to work OK.
I keep the brightness and volume down a bit and limit the notifications to essentials and the battery easily lasts 1-2 days. But I love to see a proper clock face when I look at the watch so for me this isn't a huge issue.
Great

The crazy acting during shower can be fixed if you turn on not disturb mode

It has always on display and not only that, with the latest firmware user may choose between two watchfaces: a digital and an analogic one. On the other hand, the brightness is fixed and relatively low. I imagine this is to limit power consumption

That is definitely the downside of having an AMOLED screen instead of reflective LCD like the bip. There's no workaround. The same problem applies to cellphone, but they have light sensor instead.

If it doesn't detect any movement for 5 minutes, it turns off. It's a protection measure for power saving when you go to sleep and you don't need the AOD.

I figured it was something like that. Kinda defeats the purpose tho. I ended up disabling it. When I look at the watch to see the time the main watchface pops up before I get to see the aod.
