Anyone else noticed that when you activate "Stereo+" in Landscape mode and listening through the phones speakers and the phones screen switches off .. either by you or it times out, the Stereo+ switches off / goes back to Regular Stereo (or High End Stereo) as Huawei calls it....
I wonder if this is a Bug...
Anyone else found this?
If it's a bug, it's been there since the P9+.
When you lock your device the phone resets itself to its default mode, and that is portrait.
Yeah.. portrait reset makes sense, although I must admit it didnt click till you pointed it out, but , Yeah, now I get it..
In that case stereo+ would be geared. more towards adding extra ambience or Mid frequencies to Movies...
Anyway, thanks for the help friend.. Appreciated

Turning the hero from portrait to landscape (or back), takes several seconds to work. Is there a setting somewhere to speed this up? It's unusable the way it is, life is just too short to wait for that!

Unusable is rather strong! Takes about 2 seconds to happen, quickest rotation I have ever seen.
Anyway, I dont know of a way of tweaking this, though I support the intent
After watching my girlfriends iPhone switching instantly for the last year or so, it 'is' unusable to me. She laughed at it when she turned the phone. However, having said that, I've switched it back to standard andriod and now it works properly, certainly less than a second.
WIll have to play with perfmon and work out what's happening, maybe grabbing top while trying it in both UI's would be enlightening...
Seems to work fine for me, soooo much faster than Opera on WM.
You can calibrate it by going to Settings -> Sound and Display -> Calibrate G-Sensor.
Calibration only set up angle sensitivity, so is not relevant..

Still doing it months later wtf
You don't have an app installed called more bars do you? That app automatically enters airplane mode during low signal to conserve battery.

So I'm having this problem as well, on my new HTC One... it goes into airplane mode nearly every call I have... I'll probably have to go back to my iPhone if I can't resolve the issue. As stupid as it sounds, I'm fairly confident it's my ear touching the screen that's "navigating" into settings and turning airplane mode on... if I'm 100% concentrating on not touching the phone's screen at all, I don't have the problem. But if I'm talking normally, it never fails, the call drops, I look at the phone, and I'm sitting on the settings page with airplane mode on. I honestly don't know how this doesn't happen to everyone... I *THINK* my ears are normal!? Anyone come up with a solution??

Is your proximity sensor working fine? Is it covered with a screen protector?

Thanks... I installed the sensor app... seems to be working ok... it's showing "all or nothing" (9cm or 0cm) and seems to indicate the duration I hold the phone to my head. If I move my head around (not necessarily away from the phone) it indicates that the sensor thought I wasn't in proximity the full time... so perhaps there are brief moments the OS thinks I've pulled the phone away from my head. Maybe that algorithm needs tweaking (e.g. maybe wait 1-2 seconds of nothing in proximity before turning on screen?).
I don't have a screen protector.

found this on the htc one forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259526
I didn't read it, but it looks like you are not the only one having issues with the proximity sensor...
So I know this doesn't help much but wanted to add I'm having this issue as well. Not every call but maybe every couple of days or so. Does seem to happen when I'm using the phone, not an ear piece, and I'm moving around a lot. So might be something with the proximity sensor, though there is not quick button I could be hitting with my face to turn airplane mode on even if the screen was on. I have also noticed a lot of strange network issues where my single bounces between 4g, 3g and hsdpa often, which I've never had a phone do this much before. I can actually sit there and watch flip back and forth. So I'm really thinking the HCT One has some manufacture issues that are not being addressed. I'm about ready to send this thing in.
Hi guys,
Recently, I was using this tablet to play a video under "Stamina mode" and all other energy saving features turned on in Settings/Power Management and discovered a phenomenon that I don't know previously.
A phenomenon was observed, the display shuts itself off at random times when and only when the device is being held up-side-down.
Turning off "Stamina mode" and this phenomenon does not reappear.
I can not think of any reason why this should occur and not when the device is held in any other orientation.
This tablet's screen can be turned on/off with a magnet in cover.
However, if the user decides to relax and use the tablet while up-side-down, I don't see the intelligent side of this in Stamina mode while device is held up-side-down.
Really, try it out on your tablet, this phenomenon is hysterical and quite annoying.
Do you use the tablet up-side-down?
And do you think this is a reasonable feature?
My device doesn't show this behavior.
yes i have noticed it i thought i was going mad.... but i have repeated it several times.. i quite often rest the tablet upside down under my nose to watch the tv then i flip it back up and the screens turned off.!! i thought i must have bumped the power switch or something, but I've repeated it several times now... very odd if is a feature. it's like flip to sleep or something...
i just had a thought maybe in stamina mode it turns this on.... flip to turn off or it's the eye ball tracking thingy when it can't see you looking at the screen it turns it off.....
just had a look in display settings its called smart back light control. but its not turned on.. so it's not that.
must just be the tilt sensor is enabled to turn the screen off when it's tilted flat on it's face..

I have experimented with this several times. It depends on whether or not the device has moved or stationary.
Since, this only happens face down, so it is annoying.
So, it's like telling you not to lying on your back to watch a Firework show using Stamina mode for example.
If you lay the device face down on a table using Stamina mode it will turn off the screen shortly after obviously to save energy.
And if it is held up-side-down it turns off the screen randomly as it detects no motion. So, the user isn't likely to continuously shake the device while looking at the device up-side-down for any reason.
I've been lurking here for a while and just registered so I could ask you all for help.
I have a vzw Galaxy S4 (about a year old) running Android 4.2.2 build MI1. It has been dropped in its has UAG case a couple of times but it has never been wet. So there are a few problems, some related some not. 1) I'm having issues with my screen randomly (so it seems) flashing green lines then going black when I wake it from sleep. The soft buttons will stay illuminated, the screen will let me swipe to unlock (I can here confirmation) but the screen stays black. I'll then hit the lock screen button again and it will go black again. The same thing happens if I go to wake the phone via the home button as well. I have a link to a video of it acting up (Two separate occasions, one where the screen just get's a funky green tint and the other where it goes black) but cannot post it since I'm a new member. Let me know if you want me to pm it to you. Does this seem more like a hardware issue or a software/firmware issue?
2) Whenever my headphones are plugged in all I get is garbled sound coming out. No matter what app I'm using or if I'm making a call. I have also noticed that since this started happening, my ear speaker simply will not work (even with the headphones unplugged). Sometimes, when I plugin headphones then unplug them, I will get no audio out of the rear speaker either. This rear speaker issue continues until I reboot the phone.
All of this is driving me nuts and I don't have the cash to replace the phone with anything comparable so I'd like to fix these issues myself if possible. Please let me know if you have ideas/resources that may help me fix this issues. Thanks.
I have an LG G Watch with 5.0.1 since a few days and I tried and sent back an identical LG G watch on 4.4W.1 a while ago and didn't experience it. Basically, I am noticing that after leaving the watch alone lying somewhere (I don't wear it at home) for some time (can't really say how long but at least an hour, I think) the display turns OFF. A single tap and it wakes up and then works "normally" until the next time...
The other G Watch with the older Wear version didn't have this behaviour so is this a feature of the latest Wear version (or possibly an LG-exclusive mod to squeeze even more battery life) or is it maybe an "issue"..?
I am saying this especially because I installed the Slumber app to automatically turn the display OFF while charging but realized that it's easier and more elegantly done by simply choosing the new "Theater mode" in Android Wear 5.0.1 and uninstalled the app. I don't know if what I am seeing is due to having installed Slumber but I really don't think so.
Does anybody know for sure what it is and how it exactly works..?
TIA
I was just about to post about this I think it's a bug though... I don't use a Slumber app or anything, I want my screen truly to be always on. But it will turn off occasionally and I don't like that!! I definitely did not have this issue on 4.4W.2
Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?

Just to be clear, I don't use it anymore and uninstalled it just after getting the 5.0.1 update with its Theater mode. My worry was that having had it installed triggered this behaviour but since you get it without ever installing it I can put that to rest.

Have you ever got it while it is on your wrist..?
Reading this I just removed my g-watch and after a few minutes I see that my screen was OFF. Never happen when I have watch on my wrist the last 2 days. Screen alaways ON and turn on with movement OFF. So yes it is a new feature of the last update 5.01.
Same here, it happened twice on the table, and once on my wrist this morning.
Must be something like the ambient mode in Moto 360 that does this. For one moment I thought I accidentally triggered the cinema mode.
I always take my watch off at work and the screen keeps turning off after 30 minutes. I did a full reset in case it was an overhang from the old version but it's still turning off.
So based on all of the above replies it seems it's a feature of the latest Android Wear. I am not calling it a bug because, except for a single reported case from our friend with the Moto 360, it seems to never happen while wearing it, so the logic appears to be "save the battery when not in use".
Just to "investigate" it some more, I am trying to time it and confirm it's 30 minutes for me too like StuBFrost says, and may you all please confirm you have Ambient turned ON (i.e. the display is always ON) and state whether you have the new Tilt to wake up setting ON (i.e. the Display lights up from its dimmed state when you tilt your wrist).
My settings are Display always ON and Tilt to wake up OFF.
It would be good to have some more reports from owners of different Wear smartwatches, to this end I posted also in the general Android Wear forum but no replies so far. I am going to update that post with our findings and see if we can understand what exactly is this behaviour we are seeing...
Actually, I think it might be a good feature to keep ON in many cases but it absolutely should be an *option*!
I have both options switched on and both work fine except for this new stupid sleep mode that quite clearly hasn't been thought out properly. Surely the theatre mode allows people to turn the display off should they need to and for everythimg else it should do what it did before and stay on.. If it doesn't get "corrected" soon, I will be rooting my watch and putting a custom ROM on it.

Trying to time it, I think I can say (I am still trying to cover all of the different scenarios) that any event which normally wakes the display up to normal brightness (i.e. an incoming call) resets the countdown. BTW, I think you are right and it's 30 minutes off the wirst with no movement, no tapping on it and no event like the ones just mentioned. "Normal" incoming notifications don't seem to reset the countdown.
Like I said, I don't think it's a bad idea in and of itself (I would use it in most cases) but they should have made it an option! And, ideally, they would let us set the time after which the display turns itself off.
I use and *strongly* prefer Android instead of limited and dumbed down Windows Phone and even worse Apple's useless crap exactly because of its customizability and powerfulness...
"Funny" thing is that from further testing, this feature doesn't kick in while on the charger (which could actually be pretty useful for most people...) LOL
ADDENDUM: the kind of events which resets the countdown to this "deep sleep" state (i.e. an incoming call) also wakes the display up from "deep sleep".
I am running the LG G Watch, version 5.0.1 with accompanying Android Wear app on my phone version 1.0.5
Screen is set to ALWAYS ON.
Tilt to wake is OFF.
It happens BOTH on my wrist and off my wrist. The timing is variable from my limited observation, but I haven't tried to directly time it.
on my lg g watch too
may I ask something related? on mine, it happened to be able to stop display (full black) with a swype from bottom to the top, never been able to do it again. Anybody faced that?
