I have an Apple Trackpad and a Microsoft Sculpt Mobile Keyboard connected through bluetooth. Due to the issue Android has with two HID devices connected through bluetooth disconnecting, the screen keeps flickering whenever the keyboard gets kicked off.
I would love to fix the erratic disconnects, but for now I am just wondering if anyone has any solution for why the screen refreshes every. single. time the keyboard disconnects. It's quite annoying. It refreshes every single app that is open and when you're surfing or you're in netflix, the damn browser/app gets refreshed. This makes me want to break my damn keyboard which I bought today. I was hoping to enjoy some couch surfing while my device was connected to my TV, but alas.
Any solution would be appreciated.
Signed,
frustrated bluetooth-user.

Okay, this is a weird problem that I don't quite know how to describe...So occasionally when I plug my tablet into my keyboard dock, it makes the "connect" sound, but then it shows a giant clock, almost like the dock screens from the Samsung Galaxy phones, and the keyboard is not enabled, and it's like impossible to access the home screen. Is there a way to get out of this? I'm so frustrated because it seems to happen more and more often...
Edit: Battey level is low..is this just a feature that kicks in when the battery is low? Thanks again
Hey everyone, first time poster here.
I've bought a Sony Smartwatch 3 after the contacts on my LG G watch broke, but I'm noticing a problem that's been happening on both watches.
I can be doing anything with it, or just having it resting on the desk in front of me, and all of a sudden it'll wake itself and then start scrolling up and down randomly and going into random apps. sometimes even calling people who text me. (you can imagine trying to fight with said watch while it goes about calling every text)
And that's another thing, I have to sit there attempting to reassert my touch control over some phantom user by polishing the screen with my finger.
How do I stop this from happening? I've tried turning off the tilt to wake, nothing. And I can't seem to physically lock the touchscreen with the side button like you'd expect. I can still unlock by double tapping (a function I'd like to disable) and the thing starts off all over again.
Is it something to do with static or is the unit just faulty?

If its happened on both watches it sounds like something is interfering with the watch, maybe the contacts could be environmental?? Try giving it a "good" clean. I have an LG watch R and my son has the Sony SW3 and we haven't seen those issues.
Have you tried pairing the watches with another phone?

I've tried cleaning the SW3 with both screen cleaner and soap and warm water (as its waterproof for running water and none of them seem to help.
I've also tried resetting the watch 6 times since buying it a month ago.
Any ideas on how to turn off "tap to wake"?
Hi all. I've looked for an answer to this issue, but to no avail.
I usually dock my s4 to samsung' s smart dock at home and I use it connected to a tv with mouse and keyboard attached for basic needs. Till lollipop upgrade everything worked flawlessy, now there are some issues:
Original TW: upon connection (power, hdmi etc), the screen goes off and appears on the tv, oriented and scaled to fill the display. this is fairly good, since I don't need anymore a rotation control app, the problem is that if the screen goes off, the only way to interact with the phone is via keyboard and mouse, which is annoying. does anyone know a way to control this behaviour?
GPE: the screen stays on upon connection, but sound is not sent through hdmi, only through the smart dock 3.5mm connectior
thanks, any hint appreciated
My nexus player will go into daydream mode but will not sleep, my only thought is that my wireless keyboard and mouse which is connected over an OTG cable, is keeping it awake. I have a few questions ...
Is there a way to put the device to sleep and lock it with a pin (the only way around this I found was using restricted profiles)
If the keyboard and mouse is the culprit do I disconnect the OTG cable or switch the keyboard and mouse wireless switch to off ?
It's worth mentioning that my nexus player was playing a video this morning that I don't remember clicking. I performed a factory reset in case my nexus player caught something. Sorry this is my first experience with android lollipop and the nexus player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I'm not sure if it's a known issue but I forgot to mention (totally unrelated to the daydream issue) but sometimes an error would pop up and say "Google Cast Receiver Has Unexpectedly Stopped" is this normal ? I've heard it's in Beta so there might be some complications :/

So I found that through further use my nexus player did in fact sleep (my keyboard and mouse wasn't at fault) turns out when switching video inputs the device wakes itself automatically. Still though, I have issues with Google Cast Receiver has stopped, anyone else experiencing this problem ? Is there a fix :/

Sorry if this is not in the right forum but I could not find a section for the Galaxy Watch which is kind of odd since it is the newest one from Samsung. Anyway, I got the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm last month and I have a few issues with it maybe you guys can help? I have it paired with my Pixel 2.
1) Most of the time (but not every time) when I am on a phone call using my Pixel the screen will not shut off using the proximity sensor. I can manually turn it off but it should go off automatically. If I am disconnected from the Galaxy watch via Bluetooth then it will shut off but not when I am connected which it is always connected to the watch. This is a pain because my ear ends up hitting things, hanging up, hitting mute... etc. Why it is doing this?
2) If I am on the phone, often I cannot switch to speakerphone. This only happens when the Galaxy watch is connected via Bluetooth.
3) My GPS on the watch bounces all around. I was testing it the other day sitting in my car. At a stop, every 20 seconds or so it would jump to a couple blocks away and then back in a second. This causes problems because when I hike, the GPS tracks this extra movement. I was on a 4 mile hike and it said I hiked 7 miles. Plus I constantly get off route warnings on the GPX hiking app. The reviews for this watch say its pretty accurate. I have wifi and GPS ON for location settings. I actually returned the watch and had it replaced because I thought it was defective and the new one is doing the same thing.
4) Wake Up gesture... Most of the time the watch wakes up pretty well with raising my arm to look at it naturally... sometimes, it doesn't. When it doesn't, I have to do these exaggerated motions and sometimes that doesn't even work and I need to manually turn the bezel. Is there a way to adjust this setting or train it to better recognize my wake up motion?
Thanks,
Jim
