does anyone know if I can turn off the display sleep?
the reason I ask is this, when I use my sling box app the screen times out. I have it set to ten minutes, so at 10 minutes it turns off.
I use my phone at work to watch tv, I have the mhl adapter with charger plugged in so it is not like I am chewing up battery.
when using netflix it seems to be fine, as is it does not turn off.
Is this something that can be controlled by the phone or is it a slingbox app problem?
thanks all
Yes - you can go into settings and set stay awake while charging (developer options).
However, I noticed that in the display settings there is not a choice for "No Timeout", which is weird.
So here is the method I use and would recommend.
Install the Quick Profiles App
Setup a profile for "Always On" and make sure the screen timeout is never timeout
If you like the app the pro version lets you have custom icons and is .99, i've upgraded and found it to be really nice
I am on slimkat and when I have bluetooth turned on, my device does not go into deeps sleep and drains my battery like crazy. Makes my pebble watch unusable. Any ideas what to do?
1) Can i disable the functions of "cardiac activity" "pedometer" ?!
2) Battery life is very bad, what can I do to optimize it?
3) On reminders and alarm clocks, it doesn't vibrate, why?
nothing?

I just got mine and the performance was horrible. I had to let the software update to 5.x from 4.x and after that was done I deleted it from my phone and then did a factory reset on the watch. After I did all that I used a moto watchface and had 36 hours.
On optimising battery life:
Turn off gestures (tilt to wake, etc), ambient mode (the display doesn't need to be on all the time, press the side button or tap the screen), and wifi. I also turn mine off every night when I go to sleep (I never wear a watch to bed, anyway) and I can usually get 3-4 days out of mine, with decent use of the actual smartwatch features (voice texting, media control, responding to notifications).

Although it rear tilt to wake option is disabled, the watch lights up when it turned up in the display.
Probably something else causing it to light up, but I'm not sure now what.
If there is a clock faces that have settings for this, those in the WatchMaker Premium application do not have this option to turn off tilt to wake up for reduce the battery consumation.

The Android Wear app is the only place that I know of where the tilt to wake option is located.
I don't use either Facer or Watchmaker Premium, so I'm not sure about that option under either app.
Using either app can cause extra battery drain, since the watch communicates with the phone constantly (or at least frequently) to update the watch face.

You're right. I probably had in mind the possibility of stopping this option from the watch itself, which does not happen until you stop the application Android Wear, as you mentioned.
Alternatively, it is talking about is removing dim off the clock.
Thanks for your guidance.
I recently upgraded my android wear device from an LG G watch to the 1st Gen Moto 360. I have the same apps installed on both (other than a couple dormant watchface apps), and I've never experienced this on my LG...
After I set my watch to any brightness value (1-5 or Auto), once the screen goes to sleep then the display turns back on (via button press, screen tilt, etc.), the brightness is immediately back to the brightest setting... You can imagine what this is doing to my battery life!
I have factory reset my watch 4 times now and the problem persists. I have toggled on and off the Ambient Screen, Tilt to wake and Card previews, just in case... No luck
My best guess is that a third party app is overwriting the phone's settings, but I can't track it down (especially since I have the identical setup on my LG G watch with no issues).
I regularly use the brightness slider with Wear Mini Launcher and after a sleep, the slider is all the way back at Max again.
Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon on their Moto 360 or other Android Wear devices? Any suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot this issue?
Currently, I can't go but a few hours before I have to charge my watch
Update...
As it turns out, the culprit was Smart Wear System SWS... I'm reaching out to the developer now
Maybe a little bit of a stretch to be looking for support for such an old device, but it's new to me and the version I wanted (small/minimal screen)
I wanted one of these for pushing calendar notifications, and it's been stellar. I've also been dabbling with sleep tracking but here's where my issue lies. The band seems to drop the BT connection 1-5x/night, and even though it is in DND mode, when it loses connection to my phone (Pixel 3XL) it vibrates regardless and wakes me up. Is this something that's easily fixed? Is my phone going into some sort of deep sleep that's dropping the connection, and if so is there a way to turn this sleep mode off, preferably only when it's on the charger?
Thanks in advance
