"Always On" feature in huawei watch doesnot work - Huawei Watch

Hi,
I am facing a big problem with Huawei watch.
After i charge the watch, Always On feature doesnot work even if those options are turned on.
I have to Factory Reset the watch every time i charge it, to make that feature work.
I love this watch and am very much worried.
Please suggest any solution. Thank you.

Get an RMA for warranty service.
Mine works fine, and I have not see that mentioned before, but I could have missed it.

I live in india but watch is from US... Else i would have taken to sevice centre already

Could you have interfering software? Also when you say factory reset do you really mean factor reset or just reboot?

Hi,
I have recently started facing the same issue. I have been using this watch for 6 months but since yesterday it has been turning the screen off after 5-10 seconds (even if AlwaysOn is marked as On). It worked on the same watch face perfectly fine till a few days back. I don't think any software updates were pushed recently. Haven't tried a factory reset yet but changed watch faces and didn't work.
Also I'm in the same boat as @getchethanbr, bought this watch in the US and am now in India.
EDIT: Last I remember that I was running low on batter two says back and the watch gave an option of Batter Saver (OR Boost) and I turned it ON. Now I can't find the setting. May be that is the one turning off screen to save battery. Does any one remember such a setting?

I think my case is suspiciously similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/help/watch-stuck-battery-saver-mode-t3344409. If I find a solution to it, I will post back.

Look in the watch developer options for the Ambient enabled/disabled setting.

It looks like this problem already figured out, but read in that other thread that you have to drain battery until you see the 'battery saver card' again and swipe over to 'disable' ... someone in other thread mentioned this toggle option probably left out by accident in an update

Help! Ambient mode seems to freeze watch.

Have had the Huawei Watch for a few days and it seems to have a deal-breaking bug. Frequently, after the watch has been in ambient mode for a while, it won't come out of it. If I touch the screen, the ambient display gets brighter, but that's all. No response from swiping or button presses. Sometimes, after a very long pause (a minute or so) it'll come back to life, but usually I have to hold the button until it restarts. Anyone run into this before? Ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Using it with a Nexus 6. Android wear version 1.3.0.2176821.
Thanks!!!

Forgot to mention that the time sticks at whatever time it freezes and so it doesn't even tell the correct time. Sigh.
Have tried a factory reset. Didn't fix it.
Sounds like it's maybe in need of replacing. Like any new product release, there's bound to be a certain percentage of failures. Depending on how you look at it, you're either really lucky, or really unlucky
Well, just in case anyone else encounters this issue, I called Huawei tech support and described my issue. After a few minutes, they came back and said it was a known issue that effects some but not all watches. They said it would be corrected in a future software update but he was unable to tell me when that would be. So I could either wait for that update or send it back for an exchange. Since it happens frequently and renders the watch temporarily unusable, I opted to exchange it. They send an RMA label next day. The joys of new tech. Hope this helps someone else.

I have absolutely same issue. In ambient mode it freezes from the first day I bought this watch. Thank you for investigation and info.
got my hwatch and experienced the ambient mode freeze. to unfreeze, i enter and exit theater mode. it works. but now i'm never sure if the ambient time i'm glancing at is accurate or not...
Similar problem with an HTC M8. I'll try the theater mode to see if that helps. I still can't trust the time any more.
+1 on the Huawei Watch freeze. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes after several hours. It has frozen with ambient mode disabled and with wrist gestures disabled as well.

Two watches and no freezes here. Are you guys testing with no Wear apps installed and with a built-in Huawei face?

None of them had red-tint issue. It seems this is not related with the freezing ambient mode.
Thanks, that solve my problem as well.
Happening to me too. Was using 3rd party skymaster watch face.
Got a replacement from amazon and it hasn't froze yet in the past two days of using it. The last one froze several times a day

Ambient Mode?

I see a few posts here (and other places) mentioning an Ambient Mode.
I cannot find anything in the User Guide about it and I do not see any settings for it.
I am on: Android 6.0.1 - android Wear 1.4.0.2621048
(On a Zenwatch MSQWI500Q Build # MEC23S)
There is an Always on Screen, but it does not do anything.
I just noticed in the Asus Zenwatch Manager - the Face Settings - Dim Screen after - Never; does work.

It has always worked okay on mine. It does turn off after a while if you set it down or put it in to charge, but it stays on while wearing it.

When I try to update on my Zenwatch (Settings - about - system updates - it says it is up to date
My Note 4 has AndroidWear 1.5.0.2951640.gms on it
I will try searching to see any way to force this
Maybe unpair - then reset my zenwatch?
It is only a week old (for me - I bought it "refurb")
Hmm. Resetting is worth a try, since there's not really a downside. I also found this, which might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...-zenwatch-manager-facer-t3334255#post65815338

Thanks - I will give that idea a try
I have no setting anywhere for a reset <-- Ahh I just found it!
It is called Unpair with phone in settings
It says "unpair & factory reset" when I tap on Unpair
I did manage to get it to update after a good bit of tinkering (unpairing - old versions of Android Wear <-- That did not work for me)
Anyway I now have:
Android Wear 1.5.0.2884951
Build Number MWD48B
I still have no Setting about ambient mode - but at least I am updated Thank You!
It seems to be just a bit smoother now too.
I have searched all over and cannot find ANYTHING that tells how to get ambient mode "on".
I tried a few of the Watch Faces in Asus's Zenwatch app also to see if any had some settings
I wonder if it is something that Google Dropped in 6.0.1 ?

I think maybe the term "ambient mode" is specific to the Moto 360, but I think it's sometimes also used by people to refer to the dim mode of the "Screen always on" option. Will your screen still not stay on all the time with that option on?

If I just set Screen Always on - on my Zenwatch - it goes off in a few seconds (actually to the time set in the Zenwatch Manager App on my Phone)
If I set "Dim screen after" on my phone in Zenwatch Manager App to never, it seems like it will just stay on all the time (My guess is battery would not last long that way)!
I am at almost 20 minutes now and still in full color.
I just layed the Zenwatch on dy desk so I did not wake it up by moving around.
I set it to 30 secound and in apx 30 seconds it goes black/off
With screen always on, the normal behavior is that it's full-color for 8 seconds (I think), then it goes to dim mode, which is just pure black and white on most faces. Using WatchMaker, I have mine set to 10 seconds. The battery on my ZenWatch still lasts about 2 days with screen always on, though I still charge it every night anyway. Try uninstalling ZenWatch Manager. It's not really necessary. I don't have it installed.
Well I uninstalled Zenwatch Manager - installed Watchmaker - picked the first face Steel Blue - Just Digits
Set "Keep Watch Awake" to 10 seconds
And it still goes off in the 10 seconds.
I even rebooted my Phone and my Zenwatch same
What about some setting in Android Wear?
Only one I see is Always On Screen slide switch it is set to on - but setting it to off does not change the way it works

Yeah, the only thing I have is "Always-on screen," too. I have it, and "Tilt to wake screen" both set to on. I'm at a loss at this point. It seems likely it's a software problem of some kind, but I don't know where to look next.
Well thank you for trying to Help!
I appreciate it!
I just noticed something interesting:
If I set Always On Screen on my Zenwatch: When it goes to sleep (so to say): It first goes dim then it goes black and white. - But then it goes off.
If I have Always On Screen off: It just Goes DIm then off
So my take on mine is it is a glitch of a defect.
I will probably live with it as I bought it as Refurbished

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem ! But it came after updating my zenwatch to 6.0.1 (M1D63K) .
Have you found a solution?
I'm on the same boat. Always On Display is activated, tried doing it on the watch, on the Wear App and the ZenWatch manager. No luck. I've received OTA updates regularly, but none have worked.
I'm posting in the hopes of finding a solution. I've had this watch way beyond the warranty period, so there's no way I'll be able to return it to Asus.
Was a solution ever found? i am now experiencing this problem after owning the watch for 2 years. It has never happen before.

Pixel XL screen flicker

My Pixel XL screen flickers when charged to 100% and I leave the charger plugged in. This happens with my car charger and also my portable battery pack, both which I used with my Nexus 6P no problem.
Soon as I unplug the flicking stops.
Anyone else have this problem? Or heard anything about this?

Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
I noticed this too. Have a pixel XL and it is very noticeable when watching video on the phone at night with it plugged in.
I have had the phone for one day, no drops or scratches of any kind and only using official chargers/cables.
None of my previous phones had this issue but i am not sure how they got past QA as i am sure many people use their device when charging.
My phone was flickering too when I had it connected to my battery pack.
Looks like theres alot of defective devices out there
I've actually noticed the flicker one night laying in bed too. It was more apparent with Night Mode on. Hmm. wondering if I should seek replacement now...
I have this issue too I've always thought people were overly picky about their new devices but lo and behold here I am. Can't decide if I should bother RMAing...100% and charging isn't a huge use case for me, so as long as no other damage is occurring, I'm not sure it's worth setting up another phone over... Idk. I just want what's in my hand to be perfect
Screen flicker
I've noticed it in mine too. I had a similar problem on a friend's older LG, same symptoms and everything, was just a software bug in his case, hoping it's the same for the pixel, I just got over the death of my moto nexus 6
-Update-
Talking to google support right now, it's sounding like a hardware issue, but they're being tight-lipped as expected with a potential QA issue this close to launch. Going to post updates with troubleshooting steps they send me, but they're being good sports about a potential RMA.
Thanks for chatting with us today!
As discussed in the chat, the following steps may help for flickering screen on your device:
Step 1: Try safe mode.
Did you know:
Running your device in safe mode turns off all third-party apps and is a great way to figure out if any issues are being caused by third-party apps.
Safe mode does not affect normal functionality and features such as making phone calls, texting, camera and photo apps, Google apps, or any stock Android app.
It's recommended that safe mode be used to determine if third-party apps are causing issues such as random reboots, freezing, fast battery drain, or even your screen flickering issue.
To reboot the device into safe mode:
With the device on, hold the Power button on the device to get the "Power off" screen prompt.
Touch and hold Power off until the "Reboot to safe mode" prompt appears.
Touch OK to reboot in safe mode.
Note: To exit safe mode later, simply restart the device normally.
When the device reboots into safe mode, check if the screen flickering has resolved.
If the screen flickering is resolved, great!
If the screen flickering is *not* resolved, continue to Step 2.
Step 2: Update to the latest version of Android OS.
Go to "Settings" > scroll down to "System" > touch About phone (or tablet) > touch System updates.
If your device is modified or rooted, revert your device to original factory image since troubleshooting steps may not work on modified/rooted devices. You can use our Nexus factory images to re-image your device.
Step 3: Reset device to factory settings.
If your device's screen still flickers even when in safe mode and your device did not experience any recent physical damage, resetting your device to factory settings is a last step which may resolve the issue. Resetting your device to factory settings will erase all local data on your device. Backup of your personal local data (pictures, music and video files) is recommended.
To backup personal data on your device
To reset your device to factory settings
**Only for users that have modified their Android device** Troubleshooting steps may not work on modified or rooted devices. Also, modifying or rooting your device may have caused the issue you're experiencing. Revert your device to original factory image.
If your issue was resolved during these steps, great!
If your issue was *not* resolved, call us or reply to this email and reference that you already went through all of our Flicking Screen troubleshooting steps, including resetting your device to factory settings.
You can reply to this email regarding the software update as well. I'm happy to help!

I literally noticed this this morning. 100% battery, night mode, brightness all the way down. At least I'm not alone
It does it with the official charger also...the one that came with the phone on mine
Deleted
I noticed this on mine as well. The fact that it's only happening while charging makes me think it might have something to do with electrical noise from charging affecting the display. This often happens with the audio output on phones buzzing while charging them, and I've seen it happen on laptops with both audio and video buzzing/flickering (google search either of these issues and you'll get tons of results).
Hopefully we'll get an official answer from Google soon.
I chatted with Google and they told me to go to Verizon, bummer. I really did not want to be bothered with another exchange crap. I came over from note 7. I just want a phone that works right and won't explode.
Just noticed half an hour ago myself after having the phone for 3 days. I've never seen it before tonight. Not sure if I just didn't see it (not sure how I would miss it because now it's very obvious) or if it just started happening now. Only happens while charging, stops immediately after I unplug it. Can confirm it does it while using the included charger.
EDIT: Just contacted Google Support through the built-in support chat in settings. The rep declared it a hardware issue and processed an RMA for me. They told me I can hold off on sending back my current device until my new one arrives. Not happy I got a defective device (still usable, so not a huge issue), but very happy with how fast and easy going their support was.
I noticed this this morning too. It was flickering at 100% charge. If it does it again k may try to replace it. I just opened a new T-Mobile account and have no compatible back up phone, so hopefully they let me keep it until I would get a replacement.

I had a same issue in my realme 6 pro after Romany research and contact to realme customer care finally I fix it my myself.
Steps
1) Backup your contact and media
2) wipe your device reset
3) after resetting when you login with your previous email do not restore system settings say no restore system settings and that's it's.
Basically it's bug it's solve by not restoring system settings sync with your Google acc.

Same thing happens when your screen brightness is low and you unlock via fingerprint, the brightness increases for a sec, this is how the optical sensor of the fingerprint reader works. I guess it needs a bright and cool light incoming from the screen to properly capture one's fingerprint to unlock the device. Can't do anything here, works this way only.

Redmi Note 8 Pro Screen Calibration (warm temperature)

Hi,
I received my RN8 Pro just yesterday (22nd Oct) (India).
The first thing I noticed is the screen quality.
I find the screen is calibrated a tad bit warmer than usual. Even if you go to the screen settings and tweak it to 'cool', it still remains yellowish.
I came from OnePlus5, which had an AMOLED screen (not fHD/SuperAmoled). There the screen was obviously more crisp, I don't really expect that here. However, the calibration looks bit different if I hold these 2 phones side by side.
What I want to know is, is this just my RN8 Pro, or others also feel the same?
Also, in MIUI where is the 'night light' setting, where I can either manually or automatically turn the screen hue warmer? It's one of the main features in OxygenOS. Actually, the current RN8P calibration looks like 'night light' is already set.
Issue summary:
1) Daytime screen temp looks like as if the 'night mode'/'night light' is already ON. (Note, I don't mean 'reading mode', that's different)
2) Night time screen temp gets very yellowish, almost as if the 'reading mode' is on
3) Screen calibration (warm/default/cool) doesn't change it a lot
4) Can not find the setting to turn off the 'night mode' in #1
Thanks.
In RN8P you can find Night Light in "Reading Mode" in Display option, it turns the screen hue warmer. I'm not sure about the warm color. May "Reading mode" is enabled which is causing this. Try to check that option.

I feel it's not all the time, it's mostly at night. Will compare again now. I got it yesterday afternoon.
Yes. And there is no quick way to disable the night time extra yellow tint.
You think it would be eligible for a replacement?
If you could compare it to another rn8 pro and see an obvious difference then yes you should claim for warranty.

If I find mine is an exceptional issue, I'll try to get it replaced, though I feel that may not exactly come under their replacement policy.

At night the screen turns yellowish automatically, it's miui issue, sceen is fine. Don't bother about replacement, just report the bug from the phone and wait for software update for fix.

Tried all the enable disable combinations, set as disabled right now, can say it works or not only after the sunset.
And, can't find any related option in the developers setting.

Brother with due respect, not everyone is noob.
Those who have phone know what's happening. Everything is turned off in that setting still it gets activated after sunset.
It's a bug and we have to wait for the fix.

As soon as the clock hits 10 pm IST, it became yellowish.
Confirmed bug.
I urge everyone to report this, I have already done that.

It's 10 pm for me, I hope someone else having phone confirm this too.
Looks like mine got fixed on its own. No more automated yellow tint.
Possibility#1: Xiaomi pushed some OTA
Possibility#2: I forcedly changed the 'good night read' schedule to some random time. 'ON' from 11pm to 1am, and kept the scheduler 'ON'. So, it didn't turn yellow at 6pm (the approx sunset time). Once it's past 6, I turned off everything there. It didn't turn yellow. Rebooted. Didn't turn yellow. Will observe again tomorrow.
