[Q] Wearing the Moto 360 while driving is a pain - Moto 360

Please excuse this post, if something similar has already been created, I haven't found one yet. But has anyone noticed that wearing the Moto 360 while driving is a problem, especially at night? Maybe there is a setting that I don't know about that you can turn on, but the other night, I was driving home in the dark, and every little movement with my wrist, the screen would light up, it became quite distracting, I ended up having to take the watch off. Has this happened to anyone else? Have you found a way around this? Any solutions are welcome!

I drive with mine quite a bit and don't experience this. I believe if you turn Ambient Screen off in settings, the watch is less likely to light up with small movement. It takes more of a 'look at your watch' move to make it turn on.

Since day 1, I have had Ambient Screen off, I think it's more driving at night than during the day. I was wearing a t-shirt, so the watch wasn't covered, so I noticed the screen light up often enough that it was annoying and some what dangerous. I wish they would create a driving mode, or even a mode past the 2 they have now, where the screen only lights up for notifications or if you click the crown.

This is why I don't drive with 1 arm over the top of the wheel leaning to the side.
At 10 & 2 there isn't that much of the face turning on. But I do notice it occasionally. I adjusted my arm position to stop it though

I experience exactly what you are describing. It's very annoying and I think it's a huge drain on battery.

Same here. I now take off my watch while driving. I used to with a normal watch anyway. Microsoft sync on my car handles all my notifications and med is controls while I am driving anyway so the watch is redundant.

Glad to hear I'm not the only person who experiences this. It would be really great if they would incorporate more than 2 screen functions, like always off except for notifications. That would also help a ton with battery life for some people.

9 and 5 with a black watchface. No issues.

What I do is flip the watch over to my wrist. Helps a little.

NOW this thread makes sense :laugh:

I noticed this myself right away my first day. It hasn't been distracting for me fortunately, Android Wear definitely needs a car mode.

Oh man, that is dangerous! I mean driving with bright light coming on your left side? Google needs to be notified of this. You should email Android blog site, like Android Central.

That is exactly how I drive.
It activates itself every now and then, mostly when turning. I don't really care though, at the end of the day, it impacts the battery by maybe 5%.

Can't tell if you're joking or not.. but driving at night with little street light (some freeways in the CA are like that) and have a full-blast white light coming suddenly is a distraction.
I had Llama on my Note 3 and configured it incorrectly and one time, it put the brightness at 100% (suppose to be 10% at night) and it's quite blinding when it happened suddenly at 75 Mph.
Of course, I don't have the watch yet (coming this week!), so I don't know how bright this is.

I just drove 1 hour on a road so twisty that it is impossible to go the posted 45 mph limit. At 4am, It's so dark you could see the milkyway clearly...my 360 turned on 3 times and two of them were when making 90 degree right hand turns. I wasn't bothered, but ymmv.

Change it to a black watch face.

Why not just mute the watch... That's what I do while driving.

Agreed

Yes and it is annoying. Everytime you turn the wheel it lights up. There doesn't appear to be a setting to change its behavior (though if you mute it at least notifications don't pop up at you).

I managed to get mine up to 57C a couple of days ago. Running Copilot while on car charger on car dashboard on a hot sunny day. Didn't realise until I took it off dashboard and it was too hot to comfortably hold. Scary, but it survived fine. I shall be a bit more careful in future - don't really like the idea of it getting quite that hot.
Does anyone get yellow spots when it gets that hot?

Yes, I used to have a yellow spot on top of the screen when using the phone normally, but is now only really noticable when it gets hot.
Mine got to 50C today while playing Riptide GP.
Normally it gets to about 48C but I put the game on the highest resolution in the settings menu and it went to over 50C :-o
This is with the newest firmware 1.29.401.11.
Does anyone else experience this?

I think there's also the issue of ambient temperature. Right now in my office the temperature of my phone charging is 27ºC. I presume it's because my office stores dead bodies and so we don't get sick from the smell they leave the thermostat set to 'arctic'. At home where we haven't turned the AC on yet (and the inside temp hovers around 80ºF) my phone gets to 50ºC just web browsing.

I have had exactly the same happen to me with Copilot on a sunny day! Had to shut the phone down and position it by a aircon vent in the car. Don't know how hot it got, but too hot to handle comfortably.
I wonder if Copilot is the culprit here? Anyone had the same with Navigon, etc?

I suspect that any navigation app is going to hammer the phone. There's an awful lot of processing going on. Plus the screen will be on full brightness in the car which doesn't help much.

I am using Navigon.Everything was normal on a sunny shining day(30C too) but i missed the charging cable it was running on battery so its not quite a good comparison but its a guide i think. No overheating no yellow spots nothing at all

Aren't dead bodies supposed to be stored in mortuarys... Though theres a few in our office that could pass for dead sometimes.

I see there's an update to Copilot today that "fully supports the One X". It'll be interesting to see if it helps with the temperature problem.

Best fitness band as an alarm?

I'm looking for a fitness band which I'm primarily going to use as an silent alarm and secondary to track my steps. It should also be able to sync with Android.
I've heard that some fitness bands are really bad at waking one up as the vibration is too weak, thus I'm looking for some recommendations on fitness bands that does a great job waking one up!
Thanks!

I don't know if it's the "BEST" but I have some runner friends who have FitBits and I've heard them talking about this before. I didn't pay close attention to hear which fitness band they said was a weak alarm, but I know they've said the FitBit works well as an alarm. I don't know if you're close to a store that has these things to try on, but if you are, ask the associate if you can try them out and feel which is the most jolting.

The thing is, I would probably have to fall asleep with one to actually know if it could easily wake me up from the vibration. That's why I thought it would help asking people who might be experienced with one.

Yeah I hear you. Trying them on in a store is one thing but napping on the couch is another matter altogether. I even tried to do a bit of searching on google for this but came up short. Best bet might be to check some running blogs or the one particular reviewer I always used to recommend to people:

Note that you don't necessarily have to get the fitbit force or the fitbit flex to use as an alarm. The fitbit one also comes with a wrist strap for night time use. In fact, I would recommend getting the fitbit one instead of the strap versions unless if you specifically want a strap version because both the Force and Flex are known to have issues.

Thanks for the heads up! I specifically want a strap because of its convenience, maybe I should stay out of fitbit then? I'm leaning towards Jawbone as of now, still undecided. If anyone have a suggestion of another forum created for outdoors people, feel free to share them.
Edit: so I orded the Jawbone Up24, gonna pick it up tomorrow and see if it will work.

Hi I'm curious about this as well, my gf is traumatized by my alarm clock and I wanted to try out some silent alarms. Can you share your experience with the jawbone? Was looking at the zband but I'm having second thoughts..

If you're ONLY going to use it as an alarm clock/sleep tracker, then you should consider this product. You're able to check your infographics on the app easily and they're summarized pretty neatly. You can also opt for a weekly recap which will be sent to your inbox (see attached image).
With the new software update you're able to get "up to 14 days" battery. Since I kinda only used it for sleep tracking/alarm it does surpass at least 10 days. I've only used it for about 2 weeks myself, and I recharged it before the battery went out, thus I'm not able to confirm 14 days of usage without recharge. I still think 10 - 12 days is good, previously the battery was marketed as only lasting 7 days (again, not able to confirm as I updated my device on the second day), it takes really really fast to recharge anyways.
However, a lot of things outside that scope is broken. Reminder alarms (used for bedtime reminder etc.) will still go off if you go to bed earlier, even with "sleep mode" (sleep tracking mode) set to on, which is kinda ironic as it will wake you up instead. The step counter out of the box is insanely inaccurate, it even counts your steps when you're asleep, sometimes I got over 300 steps after waking up. You are able to calibrate it, but since I don't care too much for it I haven't done that yet. As for food tracking, according to the forum people seem to think it lacks functionalities, or maybe they're just greedy (haven't used this function at all).
People have also been asking for vibration(patterns) upon receiving notifications for over a year. While the forum admin has responded that it was a "great idea" (paraphrased), there has been no more news on that.
To recap, great battery life, work great as an alarm/sleep tracker, the rest of its feature is "ok".
You can check out other screenshots on their website, but since they don't show off the weekly recap I though I'd include a screenshot of it:

Thank you for your prompt reply. Indeed I only intend to use it as a silent alarm clock. Another question though, would you say you are a deep sleeper? How strong is the vibration and is it able to wake you up gently as opposed to abruptly?

I'm no longer deep sleeper now that I'm omw of reverting my sleeping routines to normal hours. During the course of using this product I've been woken during times when I'm about to wake up and during snoozes (those times when I wake up before the alarm). I'd say it wakes you up pretty gently, the vibration isn't too strong but it won't stop vibrating unless you press the button.

Huawei Screen Red Tint Issue

Several /r/hwatch users are reporting a red tint on the screen even when it's supposed to be off (completely black pixels). Support tickets have been open but unfortunately there's no line to actually reach Huawei for support, only 3rd party call center (Knoah).
Are any of you experiencing this? Currently it seems to affect ALL Huawei Watches. See below for details.
http://www.reddit.com/r/hwatch/comments/3mcsdf/_/
Yup, did the test with a black watch face I did on Pujie, and I could indeed see a red cast when I went in a dark room. What would be the impact of this? It doesn't seem noticable except when you put on a completely black screen. When the watch face times out.. then it is completely black....

1. Ambient mode drains more battery than it should.
2. Risk of red pixel burn-in.
3. All images and watch faces are slightly more reddish than they are supposed to be causing it to look bad.
4. Dim faces on black backgrounds will have much lower contrast than they should making it difficult to read (like Wear Charge Widget)
5. For many, the Watch is their first Huawei device and first exposure to Huawei support which so far is proving to be pretty terrible. They have a 3rd party call center in the US (Knoah in Vegas) and no way to contact a Huawei employee directly to report the issue or understand what is causing it (is it hardware or software). What/if there is a fix. They have suggested swapping out the watch but so far all watches seem to be affected.

Same. I knew something wasn't right when I turned it on. Hangout contact images looked terribly over saturated and unnatural. And even in ambient mode, I could tell blacks weren't black like an OLED should be, putting out more light in a dark room watching TV. Huawei said it was only affecting a few devices and they'd swap it out but never did. So I bought another one overnight from Amazon and same issue.
Trying to raise awareness so Huawei will take it seriously because right now I think they are shrugging it off since they are the best reviewed smart watch.

What sw version are you running?

screen always on huawei gt.

Hi,
i have huawei gt.
is the any way to put the screen always on and not only 5 minutes
No, that option It’s not available
then you’ll complain about battery life.
Isnt any hack to make this work? Thanks
Honestly an always on display on a watch is highly uneeded. you do not look at the screen ALL DAY. My Watch gets 12-14 days of battery and i absolutely love it. I have 0 issues with it compared to the Fossil/OG huawei watch i had. Wear OS needs alot of improvement. The huawei os could easily use improvements, especially in the notifications and the apps that send them, give spotify integration and ill be happy. A watch should be used as a breif notification tool not a phone imho
Thats Your opinion. I think have the choice to decide that os highly needed
I'll tell you why always on display is useful - I have amazfit pace with transreflective lcd - I can't count how many times per day I just do a quick look at the watch on the wrist of the hand e.g. lying on the desk while I'm working - without AoD I would have to lift up my hand and turn it with watch up or press the button with the other hand. Thanks but no.
Ok but i like this option. I just Im asking for that option. You dont understand what i am saying.
For the watch to be perfect, it just need to have an AOD mode and be open custom watch faces designing, it's silly they didn't implement those two from the beginning. What, instead of 12 days we got about a week's worth of battery? c'mon that's still best in class!!!

There're no other watches with same characteristics, this is the only watch to have this crazy battery life. I had the original huawei watch and having AOD with a custom watchface tuned for AOD having >95% of the screen in black, kind of like the watchface "GrayPlating", but without the seconds hand, it didn't really hurt battery life as much thanks to the screen being amoled, like the one in the Watch GT. So, I don't know what they are waiting for. Also, there should be an option to tune the sensitivity of wrist rise detection, because mine is lighting the screen with very casual movements all the time! and that's hurting battery life as much as having a AOD with a tuned watchface, so implementing that would get us AOD almost for free!

Also, there should be an option to tune the sensitivity of wrist rise detection, because mine is lighting the screen with very casual movements all the time! and that's hurting battery life as much as having a AOD with a tuned watchface, so implementing that would get us AOD almost for free!

Firmware version 1.0.8.34 just installed, and they implemented some kind of AOD!!! it was a pretty obvious move. Basic AOD with just an option for a digial watchface, or an analog one. On the plus side I love the analog one, it's quite sleek and clean, I wish I could set it as a regular watchface too! if you set AOD the wrist movement to wake is disabled... instead that makes the screen go from the lowest brightness setting, to the pre-set amount -or auto-. They also added a double-tap on the screen to wake. Cool to see they are rolling stuff little by little.
They should really open watchfaces design via a phone/desktop app or some sort of converter from watchmaker. I would pay for that, it'd make this watch perfect.
This watch became usable now.
I will be curious how will it impact on the battery life. Hopefully not a lot.
What I've noticed though, after update and with AOD on raise to wake doesn't work I have to press the button. Is it meant to be like that?

Yeah, I guess the logic behind it was, if it's going to have an AOD watchface, and still wake up with random/casual wrist movements -false positives-, the impact on battery life would be even higher. You can double tap the screen to wake it up though.

Mine's going down at about 20% per day, with continuous heartbeat monitoring and TruSleep tracking on. I also do about 3-4hrs of exercise/week, so if it last for 5 days under this kind of usage it's all fine with me.
BTW it's also confirmed that they are going to publish an SDK for third-party development of watchfaces. Can't wait for that, hope it's full fledged, or even better, directly compatible with watchmaker's.
Someone can post a picture of the watch in this new AOD mode ?

Here you go, imho the digital one could do without the lines, and the numbers could be a bit thinner to reduce the number of pixels lit. Hope the upcoming sdk let us design AOD faces.

yeah, seems so. Why would you need more? -genuinely interested-

[TIP] How to get rid of the "annoying" charging message?

Galaxy Note10 TIP:
This is how you get rid of the message at the bottom of your screen (Note10/Note10+/Note10 5G) when you are charging your device:
1. Download this wallpaper: https://mega.nz/#!FogyWSxS!z6fV8XsrWK5LbOZxo4aV7Q3_BhH6yjM5sDW08zIGn5I
2. Create a folder on your phone, eg "Screensaver"
3. Place the downloaded image in "Screensaver"
4. Go to: Settings -> Display -> Screensaver -> Select Photo frame -> Select Screensaver
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Done!

If you have gestures without hints turned on, you don't even have to download a wallpaper. Just set screensaver to Photo, but don't point it toward your Google photos. No pic to display, it will just show a blank screen.
I get why people would want to get rid of the informative text at the bottom.
I don't find it annyoing at all, I even find it useful. Quick and good way, IMO, to replace the LED.

In my car on my wireless charger it's great, at night in my pitch black room not so much.
Honestly if you're worried about burn-in then you will be using this phone for far too long...

Depends on your definition of "far too long."
Depends how long you usually keep a phone. Most payment plans are 24-36 months. Major update as tend to come every other year. So what's far too long?
Depends on if you leave it on the charger for hours or just occasional top off.
Depends on other screen activity that might counteract that burn in.
Depends on how much the OLED technology has improved to combat burn in.
I mean, people are buying $3000 OLED TVs and getting burn in on their screens in under a year. So is, what...10 months far too long? 6 months? A week? 2 years?
May not be for everyone but if you have S View Cover, you can disable AOD only when the cover is closed! There is a settings option for that.
No burn in, no workarounds.

I barely see it at night on a really dark room. But my AOD is set to auto-brightness so it could also come into play ?

I'm not that afraid of burn-in since I don't have the phone charging all the time and that the text is realtively visible (dark brightness) but I can imagine for other people to have it disabled because of that.

I keep seeing this an answer answer but how much does it move ? The main display moves between the the middle and top of the screen. Where does the charging indicator go?
Edit:
Nevermind I saw it. After the screen sleeps it defaults to the center but after awhile it shifts to the left or right

Really? I always wake up and the fully charged message and the icon are always in the same spot. hmm
Mine never moves. And even if it moves just a pixel or two, you'll still wind up with burn in, because that leaves the majority of the pixels stationary. Plus they're just moving over the same spots over and over again.

I don't have that setting but when I close sview cover (led) the screen is off with no text whilst charging and AOD is on
The battery info in charging mode , does move i myself tested this stood in front of it in my room with the lights out , and it does move from middle to left to right , i stared this for about 15 minutes to 20 minutes, and yes i got bored staring at it but it does move, so yall should not be worrying about burn in.
