Screen in sleep mode still lits up

mudlee 9 months ago

Since the last update, when in sleep mode or when I turn off AOD mode, the screen faintly glows.

Has anyone else experienced this? In sleep mode, when the screen should be completely black, it’s just slightly lit up—barely noticeable, but still there.

Unfortunately no, but I figured out is is related to the touch screen coming on. Try turning it off at night and the screen stays black when pushing the light button.

So since the 22.x version, when the…

Saw this last night. Very faint. Think it happened after a wrist gesture. I have touch disabled during sleep, so I had to press a button to show the watch face and after that the glow went away. Firmware 26.08

Saw it for a second time. I think it's happening after I changed the sleep watchface setting to 'don't change'.

I've done some more testing the issue happens when the sleep watch face option is set to 'do not change', with built in and ConnectIQ watch faces. When it's set to 'sleep' it's fine. For sleep I have gesture and touch disabled and DND on. And orange shift. Maybe this info helps to narrow it down.

Still having the issue, even when the watchface setting for during sleep is set to 'sleep' which shows the built in minimal one. I don't recall having this issue on my 165. Interesting if this is a 965 specific bug.

It happened again last night, before my sleep schedule started. If you're in a very dark room and wait a few minutes you can see it starting on one side of the screen and spreading to the rest. Then if you do something to make the screen come on it's gone for a while, but repeats after a few minutes.

I thought red shift might be part of it, so I turned that off. Tried other settings too. The only one that seems to prevent it is to turn touch off before sleep, which is inconvenient.

I'm wondering if it also happens during the day, but it's just not noticeable due to how faint it is. Going to have to find somewhere to try this. But I think it might also only happen while wearing the watch.

There's a small thread on Reddit too with others also having the issue and if this is a software issue it's possible more people have it but just don't notice it because they're sleeping. Search for '965 with screen glow when off ' to find the Reddit thread.
