Just got the update to 6.0.1 today. With 5.1.1 I used to double press the side button to put the watch in theater mode and turn off the screen while charging. My v1 moto 360 developed some screen burn in after about a year from the charging screen, so I now turn it off on my v2 while charging. But with 6.0.1, the screen will not stay off, the charging screen turns back on after 10-15 seconds. Anyone else also notice this with the new upgrade?

Yes, noticed it last night - I normally put it in theatre mode too for just the same reason, but now it turns back on after a few seconds. I've tried changing the developer options for 'Stay awake when charging' to enable/disable and it makes no difference
EDIT: Tempted to try the 'Slumber' app, but read some horror stories in reviews...
Thanks for the confirmation... I have an support inquiry into Motorola, hopefully they can fix this in another update. I had some wackiness with the contacts section after the upgrade, so i did a factory reset. It did fix the contacts problem, but unfortunately the screen still turns back on when charging.
please keep us updated. this is ridiculous. they fix one thing and break another. Motorola is ridiculous.

Same Issue
I also have this same issue. (Moto 360 Gen 2, 6.0.1)
Tried a factory reset after upgrading to 6.0.1 OTA and the screen turns on after a few seconds of being off while charging.

Figured out the issue
Hello All,
I have figured out the issue. Motorola changed how it works.
You can no longer double click to go into theater mode set it on the charger and have the screen stay off.
Now, for whatever reason, you need to place it on the charger, wait for the charging screen to open and for the charging animation to finish / slightly fade, press and hold the side button until it fades to black, your screen will now stay off until you remove it from the charger. Took me a while to figure this out, ha-ha.
I have tried this several times in a row and the screen does remain off.
Hopefully this helps you guys as well.
Thanks,
-th3r3isnospoon
PS, if it doesn't work, reboot once then follow the above instructions.

hmm....i couldn't get this to work, even after a reboot. when i press the side button, the app list immediately comes up and if i hold it longer, it switches to the black and white ambient mode screen, which i guess is better than the charging screen. But I couldn't get the screen to turn off like with 5.1.1. If you keep holding the side button for too long, the watch does a hard reboot. Anyone else manage to get this to work?

I just tried this, and couldn't get it to work either. When I hold down the side button, the app list appears, holding down longer shows the ambient watch face. I have the 42mm version and have Always On turned On.
I did try turning off always on screen too, I thought it might be related to that, but no change
Does not work for me either, even after a reboot...
My solution (for now) to reducing the amount of heat the watch is subjected to on the charger (I normally charge overnight) is to use one of these WiFi controlled plugs:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Watts-Clever-Controlled-Monitoring-Features/dp/B00UQOPM8U
I make sure it's turned OFF before going to bed, turn off the watch (optional) and set it on the charger. Set the timer on the InPlug to come on 1hr30mins before I get up in the morning and then automatically switch off. That means the watch and charger come on, get charged before I get out of bed, and the InPlug switches itself (and the charger) off again after 1hr30mins so the watch/screen is only ever subjected to an hour and a half of charging and the associated heat/screen burn.
The other option is to have it on when you go to bed and switch off 1hr30mins or 2hrs later, but then the watch is on all night using up the charge.
You can set the InPlug to do the same thing daily, so it's a 'set and forget' kind of thing. (Other makes are available, for example, Belkin).
I noticed that the charging screen seems dimmer (maybe it's just me) than before the update, so maybe that will reduce the chances of any damage.

doesn't work at all. holding it down brings up app list, thats it.
Hi! Excuse me for the OT question, but since you talked about it...how do you do a factory reset in 6.0.1? The reset option is no longer in the settings menu...
In settings, go to bottom and choose "unpair with phone" that performs a factory reset.
I have the same issue, expect a firmware upgarde soon from Motorola.

Do you know of a firmware update coming that will fix this or are you just speculating?
I'm currently using Slumber for Android Wear, and it's free with no weird permissions.
It appears in the app drawer on the watch; you just have to activate it before you drop it on the charger.

It seems that when I plug my Retail Tab 10.1 Rooted, Locked Bootloader in over night it turns off, when I first pick it up in the morning it requires me to push and hold the power button for 5sec or so to start the boot process... Is that normal? I know its been doing it for a while I don't remember if it was doing that from the start or not though I want to say it was. Its not a major problem for me its just become a bit of a quirk.
Not mine, it doesn't turn off unless I turn it off.
Hit or miss for me.. probably about 70% of the time I wake up, pull the tab out of the desk dock and have to boot it up. Not sure if it's maybe something to do with the battery being full (possibly shuts down as a precaution?) but its pretty annoying. That and the fact that my keyboard dock only recognizes the tab every fourth time.....

I've heard of the dock having some issues with being recognized on the tab. As for the tab powering off, mine doesn't power off unless I manually do it. At 100% battery it just shows a notification to unplug the charger.

Can you Please Post Questions in the Q&A forum Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I hope this is the right sub-forum to open this thread if not please movie it.
Half an hour ago I Got the 9.4.2.15 firmware update from asus. after the update was applied my prime asked me if I want to turn it off....I approved and the device shut down and stayed off.I tried to turn it on and nothing happened.
When I applied the update I had more then 80% of the battery.
I plugged the phone to the charger and the charger light on the power button changed from orange to green
While the Prime was charging(and after it was fully charged) I tried to do some stuf
I tried to press the on button and nothing happened and no vibration.
I tried to hold the on button for about 30 seconds and the only thing that happened is that I got a vibration(the same you get when you turn on your device).
I tried to reset the device with the reset hole near the microsd with a needle and nothing happened.
I tried holding the power button and the volume button(once the up and the other time the down) and nothing happened except the vibration after about 10 seconds.
ANY IDEAS?
*my biggest problem is I purchased the Prime from "Amazon US" and I don't leave in the us...How If I need do I use my ASUS warranty.who do I connect?
Thanks.
Try draining the battery completely then charging it back up. Then try to boot it up again. You might have a glitch or bug. Its always good after an update is applied to let it update then it reboots itself. After it loads back up,go into home screen. Then **** down device and cut back on. This will eliminate anything happening from rogue codes.

Try a hard reset and if that doesnt work do a search for this (EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP)

I am unable to do "Hard reset" because the device do doesn't start, after pressing the power button nothing happens the screen stays black. the onle response I get from the device is vibration(after I hold the power button for about 10-12 seconds).
I don't think that "EP201_SDUPDATE.ZI" will help because I don't have accesses to my bootloader
Did you happen to drop the device or bang it pretty hard? If so, could be a chance the connector to your display is loose and device is actually on but the screen is off. Best way to check this is to connect your prime to your t.v. thru HDMI. Then try to cut it on. If something displays on your t.v. but screen still won't cut on, then connector came loose from your display. That is the best way to check. Plus you could also operate tablet like that.
Nope,didn't drop or hit it.
Unfortunately I don't have HDMI cable that connects to the prime.
your idea is good but even without the cable I am sure it's not the problem...but lets say that it is the problem...then if the device is actually on I should be able the hear the sound it makes when I use the volume buttons and when I receive new emails...the thing is I am unable to produce any sound from the device.
I just applied my update and it didn't ask me if I wanted to power down, it did itself. Did you power down when it was starting to install?
My screen did say "power down" but I knew it would do it itself.
Maybe like doing a battery pull during a flash?

Maybe you are right and for some reason I turned the device off while it was in the middle of the update... so 5hat means as you said that I interupted the flash process...in this case the problem is the software of the device ...could I do somthing to fix it without going with it to a lab?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You might try inserting a pin or a paperclip into the reset hole next to the micro SD port.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
I decided to try and fix my prime one last time before I use the warranty. so I took a needle SMALLER one then I used the first time I tried to "Hard reset" the prime and inserted it into the hole near the microSD port....and this time I felt a "click"...I pressed for about 10 seconds and then released and the screen turned on
I immediately got the screen withe the open green robot and with a blue line under it that showed me that the update was applied....then the screen changed to the screen you get when you turn on the device(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol) and again I got a blue line showing me that the update is going on.
After the blue line went foreword to 100% it disappeared from the screen and I was left with the screen you get when you turn on the device(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol).
I have waited for about 20 minutes and nothing happened....I turned off the device with the power button and then turned it on again(this time the device responded after 1-2 seconds)...I got a vibration and the screen was on(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol). after a few seconds the screen changed to another screen( another ASUS symbol with a turning circle under it) after about 8 seconds my device was fully working all my data was present(didn't reset with the needle should have deleted everything?) and my software number was 9.4.2.15,so the update was fully applied.
I tried turning on and off the device for a few times and had no problems with it.
So basically the device is working and I have no idea what was the problem
The tip i got for everyone trying to reset the device with a needle/paper clip....YOU HAVE TO FEEL THE CLICK
that's awesome! Congrats!
These are expensive toys (in my case addiction).
Maybe it was a bad flash which can be really spooky if you're not rooted with a custom recovery.

TP cannot turn on without dock if powered off completely...
Happens when its shut off completely as in long press the power button. No matter how long I hold it to turn on it just refuses to turn on.
I plug it into the dock give the power button a tap and it turns on. Without the dock no matter what I try it just will not turn on.
Anyone have the same issue or is mine isolated and an exchange is in order?

I don't know if I'm having that same problem but my TP has a tendency to shut itself off if I have the keyboard attached and leave it sitting for a day or two. I have to push and hold the power button for it to come on. I haven't tried taking the keyboard off and hitting the power button.

Have you tried quickboot from the google play store it's free. That is what I use to shut down most of my Andriod devices.
Not sure this will help. Try a soft reset. With the tablet on insert a small wire in the hole near the SD card slot. Worth a shot at least.

Will it turn on into the bootloader? Not sure about the Prime but on my Aria you press the volumn down and power at the same time. There are options there that might help. Be careful and I'm sure the experts here will chime in wether this would help or not.

I tried this too...nothing happens too. No bootloader. However if I press the up button and power the backlight flash awhile then back in to the darkness. Wonder what that is for..
The weird thing is..I did not even explicitly turn off the prime...I always leave it in standby. It turns itself off after awhile of not in use. Anyone face that issue? And then I got to go running for a dock again because I cant turn it back on
Sounds to me like you ran the battery dead and placing it in the dock makes it think it still has battery. If the battery is completely run out it takes about 5-10% charge to get it to turn on. Seems pretty common among all my devices.

Nope...battery for both is full..plugging in just the power direct into the tablet won't work either..it has to be the dock..
How long have you held the power button? I find that if you hold the power button down for an extended period it will turn on.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm on my 3rd Prime. The power button on the 2nd was different where you really had to search for it to turn it on. It worked but it was almost flush with the metal. This one's better but it seems like it's getting harder to turn on as the days go by. I find myself having to press a couple times to get it just right to turn it on.
I have heard several people complain about the power button but I think it was mostly that it was hard to find. You must have one that's not working too. My experience with RMA is give it 7 days once they get it and call every other day for an update. (They'll keep asking for 24-48 hours to get an answer) Keep notes because they are and one more thing, take pictures of how you packed it and the condition of your Prime. You never know when that might come in handy. Good luck.
Hi All,
I was out a couple of days back and my battery died. No trouble, come back home and charge it up. Worth noting that in recent months battery performance has been poor with a full charge only lasting about 8hours or so. I put this down to a new ROM I flashed as well as natural deterioration (18 month old S3).
Plug into the wall, red charging LED comes on, but the battery splash screen does not. Tried another charger...same. Thinking nothing of it I go to bed and wake up next morning to be greeted by a green charging LED. However, still no battery splash screen. I try to boot...it doesn't. When I "power on" the bottom LED buttons do light up white and go off after a few seconds. When I press the hold button again, they also come on for a few seconds. If i press the hold button while the button LEDs are on, they go off.
This makes me think the screen has broken as both the hold button and the charging LED is doing what it would do...but without any screen activity. However, it was not dropped or put under any pressure in any way. I have opened it up and also made sure the ribbon is undamaged and connected properly. I have tried calling the phone to no avail. It also does not vibrate or make any noises. Perhaps the battery doesn't have enough juice? Its as if its on the battery splash screen, I just cant see it.
I should mention the screen is infact cracked from an incident about 6-8 months ago. It was however, fully functional. Presumably, this will unfortunately stop me from sending it in. It was also using a flashed rom (CM11) and a flashed kernal (Boeffla).
I used a multimeter and measured 3.96v across the battery so that's fine. I can't test the current as I cant break into the S3 circuit and I dont have a resistor on hand to put some load on it.
Next steps?

Try to put it in odin mode (power+vol down+home then press vol up to agree that you are now in odin mode). You should see it in odin.
If you dont see it, your battery or energy system of your phone is broken. Otherwise your screen is probably broken?.

I've managed to get it into download mode and too show up in odin. I can also get it to show the files in Windows if i wait after holding the power button.
This all indicates it is in fact booting up and the screen is broken...
...BUT...no sound...no vibration...and no calls received
Its as if its only half on. Beginning to suspect a catastophic motherboard failure. Is it possible the battery is at fault? Its as if a whole power rail providing for the phone receiver, loudspeaker, vibrator and screen has gone.

Try to wipe clean the gold contact points on both the watch and the adapter,
also try using different chargers and cables.
Try plugging it to the PC and run adb and type adb devices and see what you get.
My Urbane has been having similar issues lately. The contacts look clean but again today I get to work and have black screen and it won't turn on. Is there a way to restart it using a paper clip? Old G watch (I think) has a button on bottom for reset so I thought maybe there someone found a combination of shorting the contacts on Urbane that would cause a reset/restart (not factory reset, just want to wake it up). Thanks!
My LGW2 occasionally does not turn on at first. I have cleaned the contacts and have no problems with the charging process but I have noticed that if I turn the watch off at night with less than a 80% charge left on it then that is when this problem usually occurs. It usually takes multiple attempts to get the watch to boot up and I try to connect the charger but the watch does not immediately go into the charge mode. There does not seem to be any set procedure to get the watch to boot up. I really do not want to do a factory reset if possible but I will do that if it is necessary. If anyone has any suggestions on this, I would like to hear them. Thanks.
