I´ve bought the runtastic pro app for my device, and I make sure to turn on the gps when I start the program, but as soon as the screen dims and shuts off, the gps wont be running either.
Is there any fix to this, other than forcing screen always on ?
If I use trackerbooster which somehow keeps gps going even on screen of, then runtastic works fine.
Any idea what line it is they need ti code into runtastic for it to do that on its own ?

Just bought the second gen moto 360. Whenever i turn off bluetooth from my phone it doesnt immediately show on my watch that phome has been disconnected. I have also installed the find your phone app which tells you that phone is out of range when it loses bluetooth connectivity. The notification or vibration for disconnect usually come to the watch after a minute or two. Is there any problem with the watch?

Nah, no problem with the watch, it dose the same on mine.
There is due to this some kind of "power saving" feature either on the watch itself or in Android Wear app, that's why it doesn't show the disconnected sign on the watch immediatly nor the vibration alert sent by whatever apps similar to "Find your phone" app (I've tested quite a few)
What I found is that, if you turn on your watch's screen from either ambiant mode or non-ambiant mode (black screen) to normal mode, the disconnected sign would show up as well as the disconnected vibration alert within seconds, otherwise, it could take minutes...
It is kinda annoying if we wanna use those apps to alert us whenever we've left our phone behind or it's being stolen since it does not make any vibrations UNLESS we manually wake the watch face up
This kind of alert should really have been built into the Android Wear app's settings in the first place along with the vibration strength/duration settings (few 3rd party apps can do that pretty well), because a lot of us often find the watch's vibration is weak (well, actually, not that weak but too short), we know the purpose is to preserve the battery's life, but I bet a lot of us would prefer to not miss notifications rather than having a few extra hours of battery life...
(it happens with other apps too, so it's not Runkeeper itself)
I use Runkeeper to trace my walking. But seems that when the screen is off, it can't get the GPS signal so the measuring (distance, speed) is not working
It's probably something to do with the settings, but couldn't find where.
any advice?
thanks

I get the same problem with MM Tracker if I use a MIUI 8 based rom. I'm currently using the 'Angels and Demons' rom based on MIUI 7 and don't have any problems recording position,speed etc.
HTH.
I suggest to review the power profile... had the same issue. most probably GPS go sleep while screen is off.
Is MIUI battery saver enabled? Try modifying the setting for your app by going to Security > Battery > App battery saver and changing it to off.
I had to do that for Waze so I could still use voice navigation while the screen was off, now it works fine.
Hey. PLEASE, does anyone know of any way at all, to disable okay Google detection, only for when the screen is off?
I am using wear OS, have the Fossil Gen 5, the assistant access is brilliant, but Jebus Cripes, it is useless when literally every time I try to use it on my watch, both it and my phone respond. I still want it to work on my phone, but when it is in my hand, there is no detection on my watch while it is showing the AOD so it works fine that way round. But I can't believe there is no way to disable it on a phone while it's screen is off. I believe there used to be, but they got rid of it fairly recently.
Edit:
Also another viable option would be an app or something that simply mutes the mic when the screen is off. I see hundreds of mute mic apps in the play store. but, they're all apps you need to open and toggle the mic system wide until you turn it back on. I don't want to have to do that every single time I put my phone down and pick it up.
Hi!
My poco M3 proximity sensor is broken, I allways have a black screen during a call, like if it was near my ear. And I can't Access touchpad. I tried to recalibrate it, it didn't worked.
So, I'm looking for an Phone App , like truecaller, or Google phone, but with the option to bypass proximity sensor, forcing screen to be allways on, and touchpad Can be used during a call.
Is it possible?
Thanks
