Symbol lookup best practices?

When onUpdate() is called on some devices the dc is cleared before that, so in onUpdate you must always redraw everything you want visible.  If you want the second hand when you are not in low power, you can do that.

No, I'm not confused. Yes, probably a poor choice of terms by Garmin.

	//! This method is called when the device re-enters sleep mode.
	//! Set the isAwake flag to let onUpdate know it should stop rendering the second hand.
	public function onEnterSleep() as Void {
		//reOrb();
		_isAwake = false;
		WatchUi.requestUpdate();
	}

	//! This method is called when the device exits sleep mode.
	//! Set the isAwake flag to let onUpdate know it should render the second hand.
	public function onExitSleep() as Void {
		_isAwake = true;
		_aWoken = true;
	}

When you gesture the watch wakes up, shows the second hand for ten seconds, then goes back to sleep. This works like it should. No problems here. Not the same thing as the sleep times in my profile which something else is causing the watchface application to restart at 10pm and 6am. This is when the possibility exists, but not certainty, of the watch face being corrupted.

		// draw the hands face buffer to the screen
		dc.setColor(Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT, Graphics.COLOR_BLACK);
		dc.clear();
		if (self._handsFaceBuffer != null) {
			dc.drawBitmap(0, 0, self._handsFaceBuffer);
		}

		if (self._isAwake) {
			self.reOrbDrawFast(dc);
/*
			// debug awake time
			self._jAwake++;
			var upTime = jday - self._jStart;
			var awakeDay = self._jAwake / upTime;
			var jt = Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER | Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_VCENTER;
			dc.setColor(Graphics.COLOR_GREEN, Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
			dc.drawText(40, self._Ymax * 0.8, Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_TINY, upTime.format("%5.2f"), jt);
			dc.drawText(40, self._Ymax * 1.0, Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_TINY, awakeDay.format("%5i"), jt);
			dc.drawText(40, self._Ymax * 1.2, Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_TINY, self._batteryRate.format("%5.1f"), jt);
*/
		}

Every pass of onUpdate the bitmap is drawn. If isAwake is true, then draw second hand and some other polygons. What's happening when the application is restarted is I'm getting something that isn't this code.

Ok, an important thing here is is sounds like you have a watch with an AMOLED display.

On those, there is a basic setting for "Always on Display".  (System->Display>General Use on devices I've seen) Make sure that is what you have set.  Otherwise when you drop to low power, the screen will blank after the timeout specified.

Devices with MIP displays don't blank the screen

He has got f7X - no amoled.

Some mips also blanks screen:

Yes, and that's why I keep saying that each time onUpdate is called, you have to redraw everything you expect to see..

Yes, that's what I do. So when there is stuff on the screen I didn't draw or I clear and it doesn't go away, then that's when there is a problem.

This is all there is to the service delegate. It's all that comes with the Analog face in the SDK. I haven't done anything with it.

//! Receives watch face events
class AnnulusDelegate extends WatchUi.WatchFaceDelegate {
	private var _view as AnnulusView;

	//! Constructor
	//! @param view The analog view
	public function initialize(view as AnnulusView) {
		WatchFaceDelegate.initialize();
		_view = view;
	}

	//! The onPowerBudgetExceeded callback is called by the system if the
	//! onPartialUpdate method exceeds the allowed power budget. If this occurs,
	//! the system will stop invoking onPartialUpdate each second, so we notify the
	//! view here to let the rendering methods know they should not be rendering a
	//! second hand.
	//! @param powerInfo Information about the power budget
	public function onPowerBudgetExceeded(powerInfo as WatchFacePowerInfo) as Void {
		System.println("Average execution time: " + powerInfo.executionTimeAverage);
		System.println("Allowed execution time: " + powerInfo.executionTimeLimit);
		_view.turnPartialUpdatesOff();
	}
}

it's not service delegate....

so it looks your watch face base on analog sample, so build it, install and check if it runs well

if yes problem is in code you have added

if no, it's problem in sample, firmware, etc.
