Garmin watches have a system-wide gesture backlight setting that lights up your screen on wrist move, when you move your wrist while running an application. By default, this setting is ON.
-
Go to Settings/System/Lighting/During Activity/Gesture and turn it off. Now the light will not come on when you run or bike and turn your wrist. Make sure it’s still on for buttons and alarms so that it turns on when you need it during exercise.
-
-
Fenix 6: It may be possible to set a power mode / power profile in the power manager so that the backlight doesn’t only light up in the sleep app.
This dialog is the only way to start a watch app from the phone. Unfortunately, there’s no way to do it without this dialog.
However, there is a bug in the Garmin firmware that breaks this dialog on Vivoactive watches.
In this case, please don’t start sleep tracking from the phone.
As a workaround, start sleep tracking from the watch (just start the app on the watch and it will trigger sleep tracking on the phone).
When initiating sleep tracking from the phone, you must confirm a dialog on the watch, asking you if you want to launch Sleep. To initiate the connection between the watch and the phone, we need to launch the Sleep app on the watch - but the way Garmin designed it, it is not possible to programmatically launch an app on the watch without asking the user for consent.
This seems like an odd choice in the context of sleep tracking. The reason, as explained by Garmin, is that all ConnectIQ apps are treated as "activities," meaning actual physical activity, and the watches only allow one app to run at a time (no multitasking). You wouldn’t want a random app to replace your current activity (say, recording your run in the middle of a marathon) and cause you to lose your data. Looks like we’ll have to live with that :/.
Google has made it impossible to launch screens from the background in newer Android versions. Because of this, we can no longer show the alarm screen with the big buttons in the usual settings. The app can only show notifications in the background if the screen is on when the alarm starts. If the screen is locked, we can usually show the full screen alarm.
-
Go to Settings → Alarms → Fullscreen alarm (may be hidden under Advanced in the Snooze/Dismiss section), and enable this option.
-
This will take you to the System Preferences where you will need to give the Draw/Display over other apps permission.
On Xiaomi/MIUI, you need to give special permission to Sleep as Android to unlock your screen during an alarm.
-
Go to System _Settings → Permissions → Advanced Permissions → select Sleep app and give it permission to access the lock screen.
|
If you are using a CAPTCHA task from the CAPTCHA add-on, please make sure that the permission is also given to the add-on. |
When the alarm goes off, it does not disable the lock screen and you will need to manually unlock the device to tap snooze or dismiss.
You may have Sleep as Android enabled under Edge Lighting (Edge Lighting on some versions). This causes the alarm popup not to appear above the lock screen because the notification appears as a light around the edge of the screen.
-
Disable Border lights for Sleep as Android in your device’s settings.
This can be the result of several things, so please try the following troubleshooting steps:
-
Make sure you have Sleep as Android Gear Addon installed on your phone and updated to the latest version.
-
It may happen that the addon can not be started by us if it was force stopped before. In this case, please go to the Play Store app on your phone, open addon page, tap "OPEN".
-
Disable all battery savers on your phone for all involved apps (Sleep as Android, Sleep as Android Gear Addon, Samsung Accessory Services) - to find out how to do this, please visit dontkillmyapp.com
-
Samsung Accessory Services sometimes misbehaves and prevents 3rd party apps from connecting to the watch. Please uninstall and reinstall it.
If the tracking stops completely after few minutes, the background processes are restricted by your system.

Make sure no system restrictions are applied to Sleep as Android, or any companion app for a tracking with wearable: Check our guide here.

The red block indicates that something went wrong with tracking at that time and the device stopped providing sensor data for some reason. Usually those are some non-standard battery optimizations or battery savers, the battery gets too low so we preserve it for the alarm or connectivity issue if you use a wearable.
1. Battery restrictions
Make sure no system restrictions are applied to Sleep, or any involved apps like wearable companion app).
See our guide here, and follow the instructions.
2. Too low battery
When the battery is too low (usually below 10%), data collecting is terminated to preserve enough battery for alarm.
When the battery was too low, there is a battery icon is displayed on the graph:
3. Connectivity issues with a wearable
When the connection with the wearable is lost, you can see red sections on the graph. The app always tries to reach the wearable again.
The graph can look like this:
-
Opt-out from any battery restrictions is applied by your system (https://dontkillmyapp.com/)
-
Pair the wearable with your phone in System settings.
-
Make sure the BT is not lost, and try lowering the distance between the phone and the wearable.
-
Try settings the device as Trusted device.
