Bug Report: Backlight issue (Garmin Chris)

Just tested this and not able to reproduce. Are you on firmware 6.12?

Yup, mine does the same. Light doesn’t switch on with every wrist gesture, but definitely does come on automatically sometimes. All gesture settings set to ‘off’. On firmware 6.12. 

I can confirm this too, not sure what it triggered. There is a setting for during sleep, you can only set brightness and timeout, maybe thats the problem?

My backlight does not change the intensity at all. Also the flashlight does not work? Or I have a dummy unit?

Looks like it is, as suggested, connected with times set for sleep. It is ONLY during these times that my backlight comes on automatically with a hand movement/gesture, which I definitely do not want!  Obviously needs updating so we can select on or off for backlight gesture control during sleep!

Confirmed on firmware 6.12.

Reproduction steps: 

• All gesture settings set to ‘off’.
• Gesture will turn the light on between your set 'bed time' and 'wake time'.

I have now solved this problem, at least on my watch! Hopefully will also work for others having this problem. 
The answer seems to be to make sure that ‘Do not disturb’ is set to ‘on’ during sleep. 
Have tested this numerous times and can confirm it works (for me at least!). Now no more annoying ‘gesture triggered’ light during sleep hours!
would be interested to hear if it works for others!

I have my gestures set to off for activity and general yet the backlight still comes on everytime I move my wrist.  Any help would be appreciated.
