Simulator needs more requestUpdates

I wrote a watchface which is able to display multiple information pages by activating the high-power mode several times.

The code looks like that:
Nope, can't paste it here :(

To get the same results for the Forerunner 935 and in the simulator, I need to remove / add Ui.requestUpdate() in the sleep function.

Hey PUFFOLINO ,

Can you try posting again? We believe that you should be able to post code now.

Thanks,

Thanks, could post a test code now, the idea is to view a "normal" information page when lifting the watch the first time, but other pages when repeating this again and again.

I am using the variable hipower to set the page which will be displayed the next time in high-power mode. Additionally, active will be incremented, so different information could be displayed for the first few seconds etc.

In the simulator, I need to call Ui.requestUpdate() within the functions onExitSleep and onEnterSleep, while I need to remove these calls to get similar results on my Forerunner 935.
