While working on my second face I have my Pebble Time 2 sitting on my desk running the first face I published
If I let it sit long enough, I see that it displays only the battery meter. At some point the whole screen will go blank. While I expect that as a power saving feature, I can’t get the face to display by pushing the single button on the side for that purpose. The only thing that seems to bring it back is launching the Pebble app on my Android phone.
I’m about to publish my second face which has no battery indicator. That will allow me to rule out the battery indicator as a possible cause. I’m using the sample code for the battery indicator but I may have messed it up.
Anything else I should look for or do to make my Pebble Time 2 wake up properly?
Well, Roman Numerals hasn’t shown this behaviour yet.
I checked back on the code for the battery status bar. One of the instructions was “Go into the emulator and turn off Bluetooth” or words to that effect. I find I cannot do that.
I open the gear panel and clicking on Bluetooth does nothing. Little green box with a check mark stays green and checked.
Not sure whether to leave the battery status bar in. I mean, I can clear the blank screen error by turning on the Pebble app, but really you want your watch to tell the time correctly without needing the phone talking to it all the time.
Also, occasionally instead of blanking the screen, the time will freeze at some point. I caught my watch just now showing the wrong time by roughly an hour. That cleared by pushing some of the buttons to cycle the time screen off and on again.
The battery meter is working, but I suspect I did some part of it slightly wrong.
As for your watchface slowly going black, it may be a memory leak or something else going on with your watchface. The Pebble does not “go to sleep” in that sense, the screen will always stay on if the app (or face) is showing something on the screen.
