I know it's a marshmallow feature but is it somehow possible maybe via ADB shell to disable it so the watch ALWAYS stays on even if not moved?

Please bear with me as this may be a dumb newbie question. I searched every post on the Imagio section here and at PPC and was unable to find an answer.
Got the Imagio for my wife and she's loving it (we had Storms previously- bad, bad mojo). She uses Groovefish to stream music and the stock dimmer setting will shut down the player after the time limit is reached. No problem, right? Changed the setting to stop this (never auto shut down on battery power).
Now, the screen will dim somewhat when left idle, but never shuts down all the way. It's dim but still active. She's been having to change the setting every time in order to not kill the battery.
Should the screen power down all the way while leaving the device active (like hitting the "shut off screen option" after holding the end button)? If not, is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide. I've done nothing but Blackberries for years and this is my first real foray into WinMo.
Try to check the power settings. Go to the Settings Tab and push All settings at the bottom. From there go to System > Power > then click the Advanced tab. That should have settings to turn off the screen after 1 min or 30 seconds.
Thanks for the quick reply. I probably should have been a bit more clear.
It is in that menu that I have been manipulating the settings. There are two options for battery power. There is one to "turn off backlight" after x amount of time, the other is to "turn off device". With backlight set to 30 (or whatever) and device disabled, the screen never completely goes off.
It functions properly with "turn device off" enabled, but interrupts Groovefish when playing. This does not interfere with the native TF3D media player. While its not the end of the world if she ends up having to change that setting to use the program, it would be nice to be able to disable the screen with a partial shutdown (and extra battery drain when using that application).
Cheers!
Thats interesting, seems like its the program thats doing that. I have Opera, FM radio, email client, etc. running all day without it crashing. I have seen this before with Internet Explorer where i would leave it running connected to a website. then when i check back IE is gone and i have to start it again. By any chances is this a website or an installable app that you are using?
Groovefish is a streaming music client that is installed on the device
BTW, it is incredibly cool if you don't have it yet. Stream just about any song you want for free (legally).

I use g-trigger to shake my phone to turn off the display works great! Just disable the shake to turn it back on.
I'll give it a shot and see if the application stays running. Many thanks!
Actually I think backlight off is happening when it "dims". You need the screen to go off, not just the backlight. Try using xdaShutdown to go into Lightsout mode and see if that works for you. The program can be found here:

Skins in the same thread as well.
Noticed this today while a friend was messing with my phone while it was standing on the table locked.
He pressed the lock button, the screen showed up with the clock, wallpaper and stuff.
My phone has a pattern lock, so he was unable to access the main launcher screen. But he was able to pull the notification/status top bar and do stuff like change brightness, disable wifi and bluetooth and so on.
To me it does look like a security flaw. Is there any way I can block that?
Thanks everyone!
I see that. But when i try to open anything, my pin code is required. Do you have a screen lock pin set up?
Edit. Ok i see what u mean. Quick settings can be changed, but not the settings gear icon. That requires a pin. Huh!
This is bonkers! Some of these may even potentially involve more serious security concerns, but in any case there ought to be a way to turn off this access. I do not want to allow anyone to change my Wifi network, Bluetooth device, open a hotspot, use the flashlight or even change the volume while it is locked - especially since I can instantly unlock it myself with a fingerprint.
This is really crazy indeed. I hope Google fix this on the next Android release or even let the users decide if they want this or not. I really don't want to root my device because of this but I don't see another option right now.
i don't like that a potential thief can turn off DATA even though the phone is locked.
I think this was meant to make toggling wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, flashlight, do not disturb easily accessible.
I'm trying to make a Tasker profile for going to bed, activated via a NFC chip on my nightstand. Does anyone know how to activate the new Night Mode via Tasker? I tried the "Night Mode" under display, which didn't do anything. I'm wondering if I can activate it with an intent or root shell command. Not familiar enough with either to figure out if it's even possible myself.
I have rooted HTC 10 on Marshmallow 6.0.1 and have Xposed Framework installed with the module Smart Network which is supposed to do this, but it does not work, apparently because whenever turning off data, a popup message appears which you can only manually turn off. Does anybody know of a way to disable the popup message or know of any other way to automatically turn off data when the screen goes off, and then have the data turn on when the screen turns back on?
FYI, using Tasker and the plugin AutoInput, I figured it out. I was also able to create an app using Tasker App Factory.
Does anyone know if it is possible for Tasker to switch on Powershare? The only way I can see of enabling it is via the quick toggle but I'd like to enable it automatically when I put the phone on charge and place it face down.
Thanks
