Well, you can either shutdown the watch (if that's an option) or uncheck "display always on" in the settings
Even with uncheck display, it still stays lit while on charger. I hope they add the option to turn it completely off in a future update.
i tried also to turn off when charging, but no luck. it turns on immediately. i tried to put it turned off in cradle ..--> starts.. turned ON and turned off during charging in cradle, same issue. it starts. there is no way to charge it turned off.
There is an option in the developers menu to turn this off and on, on the watch tap on software version 7 times and it will give you Dev settings

yes, but when the option is OFF , the screen is not 100% off.
and i also tried to switch the watch OFF during charging and no result
The only way i have managed to turn screen off whilst charging is to go into gear manager and toggle the screen always on option. This needs to be done after it has been put on charge and you will need to do this each time you charge the watch.

This is what I've been doing too. It's a pain because even when the screen is dimmed its pretty bright in a dark room.
probles with charging

obviouslly you cant shut the watch off while charging since putting it in the cradle is the way to turn it on. i charged the watch in the cradle all nite and this morning it only registered 67% battery level. how is that possible? am i doing something wrong?

You can shut it off...but then how do you charge it? I've not had any charging issues, it gets fully charged within a couple of hours.

You can use Slumber for Android Wear available on the Play Store.

Slumber is only a partial solution since it doesn't really turn off the screen completely.
Instead it just shows nothing on the screen (but its still on)
Wait? It keeps the screen on during charge? Mine was off while on the cradle, I guess it didn't charge. Which explains why the battery is almost dead.
I've been on battery for 29 hours and have 15% left, not too shabby.
Has anyone found a better solution for this yet? I find this the most frustrating part of this watch.

I agree, this is an option that should be in Android Wear and not depend on other apps.
I use Slumber and I like it very much. At least the screen is muted, although it does still glow while charging.
I'm working on a watchface of my own and I hope to include a feature to put the watch into Theater mode when charging, but at this point I'm not even sure if that is possible programatically.
Just turn on Teather Mode. Perhaps its possible to automate it using tasker?

Hey there,
i noticed that my phone turns on the screen while charging when it reaches 100%.
That is quite silly, to keep screen on for hours.
When i go to bed i will charge my phone, and everytime i wake up my screen is on.
Is there any chance to stop it?
greetings
no one?
greetings
You can use an app like smart screen off...

goes on when reaching 100% and stays on till i pull the charger

Mine wont turn off at all by itself when on the charger. If a sms comes for example the screen stays on until I switch it off myself. Same happens when the charging is finished.
never had such issues

mine started behaving like this and the only way i could find to fix it was to do a full wipe :/ not ideal..
it's working ok though now and my "desktop mode" is checked!
I did the full wipe aswell and it was ok until i plugged it into my pc.. No differece with desktop mode. I also have a german one even though i do not live in Germany and after the full wipe all my languages on stock keaboard are gone apart from German.

After the Amber update both my phone and my wife's phone randomly will play the "charging" notification sound when sitting on the wireless charging pad. The screen also lights up. This is annoying in the middle of the night. Is anyone else seeing this?

The new update changed the sensitivity to the position that the phone is on the charger. It has to be dead center now or it will not link right.By dead center I mean equal amounts of the phone overhang front and back.

I was very careful to place the phone centered on the pad and it still does it. Do you have a link to an article about this change?

No just from my own experience. Mine did it at first but I noticed I had not centered it. After centering it, it quit. I also noticed it now chimes or makes a notice when it reached full charge. No way to disable from what I see.
I've noticed that the wireless charging will eventually stop (seemingly after the phone is fully charged and has been sitting on the charger for a while) and the phone will power itself from the battery. So, for example, if it were to reach full charge during the night, in the morning it may be at 90% even though it's still sitting on the charger. Has anyone else noticed this?

I only had this issue with a third party charger. When using the nokia charging plate, this issue does not arise. I can see no battery drain in the battery app for the time periods in which the phone was on the nokia charging plate.

My phone continues to play the notification sound and turn on the screen several times during the night. I am wondering if it is chiming when it reaches 100% and then it stops charging, looses some charge, turns back on and then chimes at 100% again. I checked the phone and it was quite hot. This is annoying and I now have set it to vibrate so it doesn't wake me up. Nokia/Microsoft needs to fix this.

Mine was doing that but if I place it on the charger so that the bottom edge with the speakers line up with the same edge of the charger end with the LED then the phone will stay quite all night. I really think the new update raised/lowered the sensitivity of the proximity/nfc sensor in the phone.
Hi all, recently my phone when on charge the screen won't turn off, even when locked it turns itself on?! Any ideas to fix..
If you have activated Developer Options then look in there to see if Stay Awake is ticked, if it is then untick it, if that is ticked then the screen will stay on when charging.

That's not ticked, it seems quite temperamental. Can't work it out!
Hmm, have you tried turning off Daydream in the display settings if you use it? Only other things I can think of are maybe a Xposed module if you use them or a app running in background.

Well if there is no fix, then i'll have to take it back, as it keeps the phone very hot by keeping the screen on and off.

There is a small fix... it is to use a USB cable that has no "data capability".
I've purchased a battery pack which has a short usb cable, which has no data connectivity function (only used for charging) and that will not trigger the monitor on in anyway. For the temporary time being, I have that used to charge every time.

Looked at my watch and noticed the time was about an hour off.. The watch is completely frozen. I've tried placing it on the charging dock, also pressing the reset button for up to 30 seconds. And looking within the android wear app for a restart option all to no avail. Anyone know how to restart it?

Is the display still on? Maybe once the battery dies you can get it to reboot on the charger. Keep us posted!
I also frozen my GWatch 2 days ago and I restarted it after push the reset button for 10s.

Yes the display is still on. I was hoping to not have to wait for it to die.. Ugh but thanks!
Solved (well kinda): letting the device drain the battery over night and when I woke up the screen was black.. Placed it on the charger and all seems good now. I just wish there was a way to restart it without having to let it die.. Luckily I was home all day yesterday.. But if it would have froze while I was at work I would have been without it all day. That's kinda scary because I need a watch at work in my profession.

Look on the back. There is a hole where u can stick a paperclip or something same in to reset
my watch seems died. Left it on the charging cradle all night long, this morning i found it off with no way to turn it on. Placing on the cradle again shows the full battery icon, but the screen is totally black. Tried to use the little button on the back of the watch for about 10 sec with no results... any suggest but rma?

Can you take it in a dark room? Is the backlight on?.. If not then yeah I would try returning it where you purchased it.
backlight seems off. i'll try again with the cradle once i'll be back home, but i do think that rma is the only way
update: seems like the charger i use no longer charge my gwatch. I connected the watch to my pc with another usb cable, and after some seconds it boots up
battery was completely drained (0%) so that's the cause of the problem. now, i tried to charge my phone with the same charger i use for the watch and it seems ok, so i'll probably have to discover why it didn't charge my watch until battery gone 0%...
The watch cannot turn on anymore after i forgot to charge it over night.
I try to clean a contact and tried to connect to computer or charger. No any responding on watch.

Thx, i will try to night and let see it after 24 hours charging ..:good::fingers-crossed:
For now, it still dead. Can't turn it on but the screen pretty warm.
I think I had that happened after my five days of use. It didn't turn on even on the charger for few hours. What I did was holding the power button for three or four seconds, and let the watch turn on the boot screen, and then right away put it to the charger. Then you should see the battery charging status image on the watch.

Try plug your charger directly to a power USB switch. and clean the pins on the charger and on the watch.

Oh, really. be care ful bro, i so concern your watch will dead as my watch.
My battery is completely 0%. My watch is not turned on even on the charger. I pressed the watch down to the charger and made sure it was touching the pins, and then I pressed the power button the watch (while it is on the charger) for 2 or 3 second; the watch is turned on with battery charging status image. Hope that helps. BTW I use a StartTech USB switch for charging my phone and watches. The switch is not plugging to a PC or laptop; it is only for charging my devices.
After I "fried" some bluetooth headsets with wallchargers ( probably powersurge or similar )
I never ever use them for "small" devices like headphones or the watch.
I always charge with a powerbank.
Since then I didn't have any problems
Try to twist the charging ring
After I twist the charging ring couterclockwise/clockwise, the power was increase. So you should try twist the ring until it got the right position and precise contact. Hope this solution helps yours.
I had this exact same problem with my watch after about 8 days, i had charged it multiple times before but one morning i noticed my watch completely off and thought the battery must of drained completely. I went to plug it in and nothing happened it wont charge (even leaving it on the charger for 24+ hours) . Ive tried everything and it just wont turn on or charge.
OP im afriad yours sounds like same issue, i raised a dispute on Aliexpress and got a complete refund. I have just recieved another one so im hoping i dont have the same issue again.
I still have the old broken one so was tempted to pull it apart and see if i can see anything but tbh i wouldnt know where to start so have not bothered.
