I've noticed lately that after I end a call or lock my phone and then go to use it again the screen will stay black, HOWEVER I can see the lights between the hard keys light up and the actual screen LCD come on but stay black.
Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes it will come back by itself and other times I will have to take the battery out to restart it
yes and quite offen actually, it happend on the first day i got the phone.
Happens to me if the up time is 30+ hours. Usually I just press the home key and it comes back around.

My G-Tablet was working great for the last 6 months, the day I bought it, I flashed it with Cyanogenmod 7. Last night I was listening to Pandora, while reading Manga. I set it down and went to sleep.
When I awoke the Tablet was off, still plugged into the AC adapter. And refused to boot. After trying to get into the recovery thinking somehow it bricked itself, I noticed the screen would flicker ever so dimly. So I ripped the back off and unplugged the power thinking maybe it's not really off, maybe it's locked.
Alright, so now after holding the power button down for about 30 seconds it starts booting, I see three birds, the words android, the Cyanogenmod logo and then it goes black. After about a minute of that, I assume it booted. Still starting at a completely black screen I pressed the volume button + and - and I hear the beep boop. Alright so it booted. Where is my VIDEO?
I hold down the power button for a minute, I press the volume buttons but no sound. Ok, it's off I'm guessing. Lets boot again. This time nothing, completely blank screen, until it gets to the Cyanogenmod Logo. The video comes on for about 3 seconds then off again. About 15 seconds later, it comes on and I see the android robot riding the skateboard for about 3 seconds, then black again. It again finishes booting, I play with the volume buttons and I get the beeps. But absolutely no video.
One other thing, is that while booting. It ALWAYS turns on the video for the little robot on the skateboard for 2-3 seconds.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I'm totally at a loss, I really hope the GPU is fine.
I miss my tablet
If it turns out to be a hardware problem you should have a year long warranty from viewsonic. Someone who has had experience with the warranty process will have to tell you whether or not they will deny your claim if it arrives with CM7 installed (I haven't dealt with them). If you are able to NV flash before sending the tablet back in you should be golden though.
Thanks for the advice Bret.
I had the tablet sitting on my desk, I booted it up, still a black screen but I could hear the volume beeps. I let it sit there for about an hour, running on battery. And wouldn't you know. The screen came on. It's been working perfectly so far, I can reboot, shutdown, let it sleep ect. Not a single problem. I would absolutely love to know if it was a software glitch, or what. Seems my GPU is fine, rocks 3d apps no problem.
But I know if I don't know what caused this, more then likely it'll happen again and I'll flip out.
Open your gTab up and reseat the cables going into the LCD panel.
You say you have been running CM7 for ~6 months? have you had to reflash you system at all in that time?
The reason I ask is that I have had issues of the system corrupting itself over time, and almost every time I had reflashed, everything seemed to go back to being fine. Who knows... maybe its time to do a backup and flush the system for good measure..
I went to restart my TS and now it won't switch back on at all.... nothing happening and no response... I have left it on charge and it gets slightly warm but nothing happens?? Any ideas??

You tried holding the power button down for more than 2 seconds?
I don't think that will help. The watch arrives set in quickboot mode and it can crash in that mode and not restart right. Might be the problem here, or his display backlight might have failed. Or his power button might have failed.
Anyway, try a battery pull. A full restart after a real shutdown via battery pull will probably recover the watch to where you can go in and disable quickboot.
Instructions are in other threads.

Yeh I tried holding down every button etc for looong time... Today it's actually it's started working again clever tactics I tried....
Stop playing it with it for a day (Vital part this!)
Plug it into computer for 15mins
Hold power down.... it came on Woop

One thing that people need to be aware of--after doing a Cache and Dalvik wipe in TWRP Recovery--the phone can 'seem' like it's stuck in Boot mode--BUT, it's just taking it's time to re-align all the apps, software etc... and I mean at least 10 minutes of looking at a stationary Boot screen--it worried me first time.
Well, mines gone too. It was fully charged. I was listening to music, turned off the app, put watch on standby and when I went to check the time the thing won't turn back on. Tried connecting it to the charger but no response. I'm going to open it up and see if that works. I know I'll loose my warranty for this (doubt I have one as I got mine through Expansys.jp), If it doesn't work then I can confirm that swett, and not much of it will break your truesmart.
Just got the update to 6.0.1 today. With 5.1.1 I used to double press the side button to put the watch in theater mode and turn off the screen while charging. My v1 moto 360 developed some screen burn in after about a year from the charging screen, so I now turn it off on my v2 while charging. But with 6.0.1, the screen will not stay off, the charging screen turns back on after 10-15 seconds. Anyone else also notice this with the new upgrade?

Yes, noticed it last night - I normally put it in theatre mode too for just the same reason, but now it turns back on after a few seconds. I've tried changing the developer options for 'Stay awake when charging' to enable/disable and it makes no difference
EDIT: Tempted to try the 'Slumber' app, but read some horror stories in reviews...
Thanks for the confirmation... I have an support inquiry into Motorola, hopefully they can fix this in another update. I had some wackiness with the contacts section after the upgrade, so i did a factory reset. It did fix the contacts problem, but unfortunately the screen still turns back on when charging.
please keep us updated. this is ridiculous. they fix one thing and break another. Motorola is ridiculous.

Same Issue
I also have this same issue. (Moto 360 Gen 2, 6.0.1)
Tried a factory reset after upgrading to 6.0.1 OTA and the screen turns on after a few seconds of being off while charging.

Figured out the issue
Hello All,
I have figured out the issue. Motorola changed how it works.
You can no longer double click to go into theater mode set it on the charger and have the screen stay off.
Now, for whatever reason, you need to place it on the charger, wait for the charging screen to open and for the charging animation to finish / slightly fade, press and hold the side button until it fades to black, your screen will now stay off until you remove it from the charger. Took me a while to figure this out, ha-ha.
I have tried this several times in a row and the screen does remain off.
Hopefully this helps you guys as well.
Thanks,
-th3r3isnospoon
PS, if it doesn't work, reboot once then follow the above instructions.

hmm....i couldn't get this to work, even after a reboot. when i press the side button, the app list immediately comes up and if i hold it longer, it switches to the black and white ambient mode screen, which i guess is better than the charging screen. But I couldn't get the screen to turn off like with 5.1.1. If you keep holding the side button for too long, the watch does a hard reboot. Anyone else manage to get this to work?

I just tried this, and couldn't get it to work either. When I hold down the side button, the app list appears, holding down longer shows the ambient watch face. I have the 42mm version and have Always On turned On.
I did try turning off always on screen too, I thought it might be related to that, but no change
Does not work for me either, even after a reboot...
My solution (for now) to reducing the amount of heat the watch is subjected to on the charger (I normally charge overnight) is to use one of these WiFi controlled plugs:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Watts-Clever-Controlled-Monitoring-Features/dp/B00UQOPM8U
I make sure it's turned OFF before going to bed, turn off the watch (optional) and set it on the charger. Set the timer on the InPlug to come on 1hr30mins before I get up in the morning and then automatically switch off. That means the watch and charger come on, get charged before I get out of bed, and the InPlug switches itself (and the charger) off again after 1hr30mins so the watch/screen is only ever subjected to an hour and a half of charging and the associated heat/screen burn.
The other option is to have it on when you go to bed and switch off 1hr30mins or 2hrs later, but then the watch is on all night using up the charge.
You can set the InPlug to do the same thing daily, so it's a 'set and forget' kind of thing. (Other makes are available, for example, Belkin).
I noticed that the charging screen seems dimmer (maybe it's just me) than before the update, so maybe that will reduce the chances of any damage.

doesn't work at all. holding it down brings up app list, thats it.
Hi! Excuse me for the OT question, but since you talked about it...how do you do a factory reset in 6.0.1? The reset option is no longer in the settings menu...
In settings, go to bottom and choose "unpair with phone" that performs a factory reset.
I have the same issue, expect a firmware upgarde soon from Motorola.

Do you know of a firmware update coming that will fix this or are you just speculating?
I'm currently using Slumber for Android Wear, and it's free with no weird permissions.
It appears in the app drawer on the watch; you just have to activate it before you drop it on the charger.

Just speculating. No new info yet.
Guys there is still a way you have to
First press once then press and hold on the second press.
So press, press with hold.

How could you apply factory reset? I've noticed that this option is gone from Moto 360 menu after 6.01v uprgrade. Thx
I have been using my Amazfit Stratos for more than 2 years without any problem. Just recently (days ago) I woke up and checked my watch (wearing it while sleeping)... the display was blank.. when I try to turn it on or press a button.. it lights but with blank/black display. I remember that the battery was not low before I slept that night.
there was no wall that I could possibly hit while I sleep and I did not have any issues or problems on the watch before I slept that night.
Heart rate is not reading, as if its dead.. except that whenever I press a button (long press) it tries to light up with blank display.. then turn off again. It does not restart or shutdown when I long press the turn on/off button.
I tried to reset/hard reset the watch but I can't the screen is always blank (but it lit/light).
What I am planning to do now is try to have it drain, and charge it then turn if ON after.. thinking that my watch needs a reboot since it was a long time since its last reboot.
Anyone experience the same thing? Did you able to fix the issue? How?
If not, then I have to buy the newer model then
Thanks!
Hey, I had the same issue except, it happened when I exited ultra mode. Have you found any way to fix it? Did waiting for it to die then charging it and turning it on work?
Yeah, I did wait till my battery comes empty.. then I recharged it. It started like normal again.
It seems it got stucked or hanged and the buttons are not responsive with no display. I am using it now like nothing happens.
