blank screen - Huawei Watch 2

hey guys,
any of you had an issue with the screen going blank and never coming back on until the watch is rebooted? ( I have ambient screen on)
everything is still functioning, phone detects it as connected, i get vibration for notifications and can even get screenshots from the watch using the android wear app.
using stock watchfaces, not installed anything yet, only setup android pay, since i only intend to use for notifications and android pay.
this is really frustrating, it's happened 4 times within the first 24 hours...

if you can't touch and wake the device, you may need to send it for RMA. Do not waste time in testing, even it is a software issue. Let them fix it for you or simply replace it.

thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking too. just wondering if this was a common issue.
I'm based in hk too lol, just past the 7 day direct exchange period so i guess i'll just have to wait for a repair.

It is acceptable if the watch is loaded with many software. But not normal if it is freshly setup. You may try the official rom here and see if it is okay.

I have this problem now.
Screen sometimes starts working at random for a short while but goes back to blurry.

Mine also goes blank occasionally and only reboot helps, but it's so random, and maybe once a week? so I won't even bother sending for warranty because they might send it back saying that it's not happening to them.
Yesterday it happened while I was tracking my workout so that's a bummer but happily I was able to continue after reboot.
p.s.
I'm using always on display.

AT&T Software Update Ruined my One-X!!

K, let me start out saying this phone is nothing but pure evil. I have gone through 4 since I got my first on June 9th. 1 has been my fault.
With my latest one, I got my replacement, synced all my apps, and did the software update. When it rebooted I got a symbol that had a phone with a red triangle with the exclamation point in it. Then all of my screen animations stopped working and all I got was an illuminated black screen. I restarted it maybe 5 times and all I had was the initial HTC screen with the brown bar that keeps refilling, then the screen goes black. I don't understand what happened because I had updated my previous One-X and it was fine (save for the Wi-fi problem). I didn't install any new apps either. Any help or is it unfixable?

If it's a new replacement and you haven't done anything else other than what you mentioned here, take it back and get a new one because it looks like it got hosed during the update process.

No need to return it, the same exact thing happened to my wife's phone and after ordering a replacement over the weekend, I found a fix. Go to HTC's website and download the newest update. You have to manually install the update. You also have to download HTC Sync manager. The file is in the area of 560MB, and takes 10-15 minutes to update on your phone. The tricky part is since you can't see the screen you have to power down by holding the power button for 10 seconds. If it's like my wife's phone, you will see the white HTC screen and hear the AT&T chime but the screen is black, right? It may take a few tries for the program to recognize your phone as it did mine, but once it does, it re-writes everything on the phone. Also doing this method unforunately you lose everything. Let me know how this works out for you. Here is the direct link to the software upgrade.

You can download the RUU from HTC's website and run it.

Other than that, take it back.

[Q] Capacitive button light not working..fixable?

Hey guys, I was wondering what my options are at this point. One of the lights has stopped working...the button still works though. Will Costco/ATT replace the phone? I'm almost positive they will but does anyone know how long they take? I cant be without a phone for more than a day.

Yes they will replace it. This was seen on some of the first ones that came out. Just ask if they will just trade you a new one on the spot and make sure they let you turn it on to check for any other hardware defects.
Edit: this is assuming your hardware warranty is intact

Yes it is. Thanks! But I doubt they will give me a NEW one. Its been over 3 months.
Same thing happened to my AT&T HOX, It was working normaly then suddenly the recent apps light stopped, the button works perfectly tho...
I did factory reset, cache and davlink cache erase, changed rom and tried almost everything, the light started working again but dimmer, not as bright as home or back...
Today the home key backlight stopped working too (its like a virus spreading) and i got them to work after every reebot and when I answer a call but again, both backlights are dimmer than the original...
What did they say? could you replace the phone? Im still thinking its a software issue rather than hardware... maybe Im wrong!
Please if you find someway to fix it let me know! I will do so too!
Good luck!

No it was a hardware issue. Well at least that's what Costco said. I also factory resetted RUU'd and all that . They are amazing! After 90 days they still gave me a new one no questions asked!
EDIT: If your out of warranty (It hasn't been a year since the phone came out so that's not even possible but oh well) you can take the back off the phone and press the LED panel under the buttons down firmly and they start working again! I tried this on my new one (I know..i'm stupid )

[Fixed] "HBO Screen" of death

You guys know when an HBO presentation starts on TV they start with a TV Noise.
Well, I have now the same screen on my N5

Taking a screenshot with the built-in function, I get everything correctly
(Actually, quite difficult to unlock the pattern when can't see anything)
The phone is rooted, TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed, Stock ROM, KitKat 4.4.4
Could be co-incident, but the problems started short after installing KitKat 4.4.4
When updating to 4.4.4, I only flashed Radio, System and Boot.
I didn't flash Cache and Bootloader (basically because Bootloader same as previous).
Is the problem related to not flashing cache and bootloader or a hardware problem of the glass?
Sometimes, if I don't touch the mobile, the screen returns to normal, but now, even when I boot to the bootloader, I still have the "HBO Screen"
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers
Tom
I love the fact you've called it the HBO Screen. Real Imaginative!
However, unfortunately, it's a hardware issue. The screen or the Flex cable have gone bad and it/they needs to be replaced.
You were right, it was the cable.
Went to LG service partner and 30 minutes later it was fixed.
Cheers

Woah! That was quick
First went to LG, they told me they have to send to their service partner, can't fix the same day
Luckily only a 20 minute drive so I went there personally.

I always get this after boot for about a half second I think while it runs the color gamma code. It's my favorite part of the bootup I wish it lasted longer. How can I get your feature OP???

I love doing that to UPS. Oh, you just got a package in from Washington that's for me but you're going to let it sit in the warehouse for 4 days because I didn't pay for 3 day shipping???

Just play a little bit with your internal flex cable (I mean mobile ) then you have it random and longer
However, it can be pretty annoying when u turn on the screen and have this TV noise copy

[Q] Is 5 worth the hassle right now?

So I have to actually go through effort installing L since Im not able to take the OTA.
But in my research Im reading nothing but bad things about it. Bad lag, glitches, apps not working, reboots etc etc.
In your opinions is it just worth waiting for the next upgrade before doing this nd sticking on 4.4.4 KK?
For me it was. No bugs to speak of. Couple.of annoyances here and there but I like it.
I can't get 5.0 to run on my Nexus 5 at all. It constantly freezes up, forcing a reboot. I have tried installing multiple times and can't get it to work properly. My buddy is having the same issue with his. So, my suggestion would be to wait.
If you know what you are doing, it's not that big of a hassle. No issues with getting 5.0 installed for me. And it's running great
No issues at all on my end. The lack of a Silent mode is a bit annoying, but I would upgrade anyway.

no silent mode? Kind of a deal breaker for me as I keep my phone on silent while I sleep so it doesnt wake us

Yeah, that is not going to work well for you. I just leave mine on vibe for now and wait till they get it corrected.
I upgraded yesterday and totally regret it:-
- The silent mode/priority mess
- Having to use quickpic as my gallery (but no photosphere)
- Google keyboard now not using middle button as typed word. (Really big big issue!) Talking about fixing something that isn't broken......
- Having to use google docs as quickoffice has been pulled. (I don't want my docs online!)
I just have the sinking feeling that Google are starting to try and make choices for me rather than listening. Its the sort of thing that killed Microsoft and Nokia.

There's a priority mode and you can set that to allow calendar, calls or messages or not.

It's neat to mess around with, but in my experience it's not quite ready to be a daily driver. I'm using it with multiROM, and I recommend you do the same just so you can see what it's about without making any type of commitment to it.
It's another one of those situations where you have to try it for yourself.
Bear in mind when you read a lot of negativity on the internet it is mostly skewed beyond normal rational thought....
Some of the 'bugs' reported aren't actually bugs. Battery 'drain' is very rarely tested logically, with SOT apparently the only measurement without understanding it's how you the device. People forget common sense and the basic laws of physics e.g. not finding out what is actually using the battery, or concluding facts without numbers and if it 'seems' worse, then it must be.
My advice: Nandroid backup, full wipe, install and play around. If you don't like it, restore.

General US Watch 4 Non-LTE Update R860XXU1GVK4 with Nov 1 Security Patch is out.

MY US based Watch 4 Non-LTE just received the U1GVK4 update today 11/11/22 - I again checked for updates for my AT&T LTE Watch 4 Classic, but there's no update available. It is still at the U1GVH2 release. Nothing new to report with U1GVK4 so far, but this is likely an update to fix the bricking issue that some experienced with U1GVI3 "A power operation-related stabilization code has been applied."

Uggg...just read that even the new update that fixed the issue is causing same problem for some...be careful peeps.
Mine is working JUST fine...think I'll hold off.
I installed with no issues. Did get a scare at first when the Samsung logo came up about three times before it went on to boot. Also took a bit longer to boot and setup. Once it did, all was well.

Downloading and installing now...
Fingers crossed.
Mine working 100% after this update.
Mine also working after today's update, I did charge my watch to 100% before starting the installation process and after installation my phone did boot loop twice that scared the hell out of me, then I immediately connected it to charger just to ensure watch has enough charge left, but luckily as soon as i connected it to charger the watch booted normally...phew!!!
Just updated my watch. It is bricked. Screen is black, pressing any of the buttons does nothing. Had 70% battery before the update.
I think I'm done with Samsung for good. What a shame.
If some1 was able to recover from this state, please share.

NOT updating mine. It's working fine, so why bother.
Mine is force installing so wish me luck!
edit: Gave me a heart attack because it bootlooped 3 times but it thankfully didn't get bricked
LOL, mine did the same thing. Today I had an issue with charging. The watch just refused to charge even though it says it was charging. I rebooted the watch and all is well.
