This has been driving me crazy and I must be doing SOMETHING wrong because I can't get it to work on my Nexus 4 either.
I select Daydream and have it set to either or when plugged in, but the Daydream scene will not start, no matter which one I select.
In fact, here's what happens. I plug my Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 in set the Daydream to Clock (or any other), and the screen will just stay on. It will refuse to sleep until I press the power button, but it will sleep (screen off) if I turn Daydream off.
So I assume something is blocking Daydream from working? They are both running stock 4.2.1, bootloader unlocked and rooted. The Nexus 7 just had a data reset done and I even had reloaded the official images just yesterday.
I've also changed the sleep time to something different (currently set at 2 minutes) and it still doesn't do it.
Anyone know what might be causing the problem? Does anyone else have this issue?
Yeah, I got this as well. Daydream never starts unless I start it. Never comes on when charging.
Check developer options if "Stay Awake" is enbaled there.
Just a wild guess....

He said it goes to sleep if DayDream is not active.
Good guess though

Well, was worth a shot.... :silly:
So safe to assume then that Google botched this? No one else can confirm that it works?
isent it supposed to stay awake so you can see the option you selected...?
daydream works perfect for me. I can only use it though while charging. I haven't figured out how to get it in a dock mode without a dock

Works fine for me....
Have you tried all the choices (clock, colors, etc)? When I first tried daydream, I had to cycle through them before one would work, once I got that one to work they all started to work.

I wouldn't know about that, because I was playing around with them a lot when I found this feature, but it works since I set one (I use slideshow or that other pictures one).
You need to wait a little (= screen timeout), and then it starts.
I am confirming it.
So weird. I plugged in my Nexus 4 into my PC..and boom. All of a sudden it starts working. Randomly. Same with Nexus 7. WTF. How weird...
I wonder if it had anything to do with the December bug...considering it's December 1st now..
Stay Awake
You have to make sure "Stay Awake" under 'USB Debugging' ins UNCHECKED (third one down)
When I press the power button to lock my Nexus 7 the daydream wont come on, only when it goes to sleep after inactivity. Total bs... is that normal?

I don't know when this started, but it is odd. If my device is charging, the display does not time out. It does that half dim thing, but never goes off. I have tried several of the timeout settings, all in fact. I am using Tasker, but none of my profiles or tasks set the time out to "always on". I have even disabled Tasker just to make sure. This happens with AC or USB charging
My wife's does not do this, both are rooted and on FR008 (thanks attn1).
Anyone else see this?

Hi there,
While I watch a movie on TV via multimedia dock, my atrix keeps locking up (at least three times per movie). When it happens, I unlock the screen and resume the movie which is very annoying.
Although I set up "Screen timeout" to "Never timeout", it keeps happening. Am I missing something here???
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Try the "screenon" widget in the market just to make sure on the timeout issue.
As for the lock screen itself, the ever popular "no lock" widget is free and gets rid of the annoying lock screen...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I tried that app and it never worked. What I found is that if I change the screen lock setting to "never timeout", the screen does not get locked as long as the phone is not on multimedia dock. Does anyone have this issue?
That's a strange one. Mine never used to lock when it was on the dock.
Is your dock plugged in so your atrix is charging? If not, maybe it's some power saving mode making it shut off?
Otherwise, maybe something in the ROM you're running.
Yeah, I know. It looks like nobody has this problem. Yes, the dock is plugged in and is being charged. I found "Stay awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)" option under Developement the other day. I will check that option and see if it resolves the problem. Right now, I have to get up every 30 minutes and move the mouse around on Webtop Mode window on my TV during a movie. This is very annoying.
I have Bell's stock rom: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA (2.3.4). My phone is unlcocked (on Rogers) and rooted.
in settings, you need to turn off the auto lock

I'm taking a wild guess and saying it's probably an app or something causing you grief. I've never heard of anyone else having this issue that anyone was able to replicate.
Maybe you want to look at your apps and see if you have any that might cause that kind of behaviour. Try removing them and see if it fixes your issue, if not, move on to the next app.
Or if you're really fed up, you can always try a factory reset and start from scratch.
I have the same problem on mine.
I think I found the problem. It has to do with the Security Lock and the Fingerprint scanner. Once fingerprints are entered the "Security Lock Timer" becomes disabled. Mine was set to 20 minutes. I reset it to "When display is off"
Settings->Location & Security
If "Security Lock Timer" is greyed out, you'll have to clear out your fingerprints and do the setup again.
->Change Screen Lock
Select None.
Select "Clear Stored Fingerprints"
Go back into "Change Screen Lock"
Select PIN and enter a pin.
It'll dump you back out to "Location & security"
Security lock timer should now be enabled.
Select "When display is off"
Go back into "Change screen lock" and set up your fingerprint scanner again.
See if that fixes the problem.
***EDIT*** Didn't work. Mine still engages a lock after about 20 minutes.
Setting screen lock to "None" didn't help either. Still times out in about 20 minutes (like a screensaver).
I found the solution!!!
The problem was the screen saver settings in WebTop mode. The other day, I saw a setting icon on WebTop mode and found that the screen saver was set to 30 minutes. I chaged it to 3 hours and now I can watch a movie without getting up every 30 minutes. Yeah!!!
Oh that's cool. I didn't know that.
Thanks
This started happening a couple of weeks ago. I was using Honey Villain 1.1 and the 3.4 Kernel. Pretty much every time I'd go to use my tablet after leaving it for a while it would be dead. I'd check battery history and it would should that it had woken up and the screen was on for hours right up until the battery died.
I tried full wipe with Taboonay, Thor's kernel, the latest HoneyVillain 1.2. Every time I think it has fixed it but after a day or so it happens again. I'm out of ideas. I barely installed any apps the latest full wipe and it still happened. Is it possible the hardware has gone bad and is causing this? Should I take it back? Is there a log I can look at to see what is causing it to wake up and not go back to sleep?
Thanks.

Nope. I only had a handful of apps installed.
Root Explorer
Set CPU
Titanium Backup
Google Reader
EzyPDF Reader

That's about it
This was happening before I started using Set CPU so we can rule that out.

Under settings/sync/ click on the google sync to see the services within that are set to sync. You can disable it separately there.
the indicator light in the power button sometimes keep on for a long time, sometimes go off very soon... do not know why
mine does this too, i noticed it only tries to eake up about once. when you push the sleep button watch it for amsecond, when it turns back on, push sleep again and it should be fine. at least in my case it does.

The problem is mine is usually in my bag when it wakes up. By the time I realise it has happened the battery is dead.
wireless > advanced > set to "Only when plugged in"
NINJA EDIT: had same symptom, worked when i did this
Every time I turn off my tablet, the next time I go to use it, it's already on.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this something that other people are experiencing?
Thanks!
Never experienced that
I don't know, My first N7 is faulty but not that bad, maybe your tablet is reading your mind and it turns on when your thinking about using it?
How are you turning it off? Tapping the power button only turns off display.

It's clearly haunted.
Or an app is waking it up to sync / find location / steal and transmit your data.
Have you tried running Avast ? Locking all the running apps ?

quite strange..
I don't believe apps can turn it on when it's off..so if you turn your N7 off, your alarm is disabled. at least, I'm pretty sure of that.
And, so you watch it turn off all the way? And later on it's on?
Is it plugged in to the charger?
Have you ever watched it for a little while [while you were doing something else, just glancing at it once in a while] to see if it just randomly turns on?

really? but how does that work?
that means the clock app must be able to control the rtc hardware, and tell it to power up at a certain time... I didn't know they'd done that on the N7...

Calendar -> Settings -> General Settings -> uncheck Notifications
It's a shot in the dark but who knows..
Or I suppose if you like you could disable calendar sync in Accounts & Sync, and then erase Calendar's data.
I would have asked Verizon, but I need a Verizon number to contact customer support.
I enabled the developer options on my smartwatch and toggled on the option to stay awake when charging, but the screen still turns off. It even turns off if ambient mode is enabled. I suspect it has something to do with dock mode overriding those settings. Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution?
Thanks!
Edit:
I found you can disable the charging app from settings. This prevents dock mode from starting, but doesn't keep the screen on. I found that enabling stay awake while charging in developer options keeps apps open but turns off the back-light. If you look very closely, you can see whatever is open faintly. Disabling it will go to ambient mode, but still switch off the screen.

No. Mine works without debugging on or the stay awake while charging option. It also works fine with always on screen setting on or off. I'm assuming you are using the Wear24. If your watch was running Oreo it might be more aggressive about stopping the app, but I wrote a case for that.
Is the notification displaying? If you dismiss that Android Wear may stop the background process.
For me I'm unable to disable it it's on all the time while charging enabled or disabled
