Hi everyone

I'm having trouble getting the screen to wake up automatically based on navigation instructions. I remember flawless operation in previous versions. Now there are more setting options, but it doesn't seem to work that the screen automatically wakes up before and goes to sleep after a new navigation instruction.

At the moment these are my settings but honestly I have already tried all possible combinations without the desired result.

Am I overlooking something or is there a setting in another menu item related to this?

Thank you very much!

Important: Set the first item "Screen timeout" to deactivated (this uses default system screen timeout).

Then "Wake time" to a value. This means how many seconds the screen stays ON after wakeup. Try 10 sec or other value.

Proximity sensor can make problems when you fix your device on a bike, so maybe test first without it.

For me it works with power botton =off, I am not shure whether to set or not.

Do you have voice instruction enabled? There is a "bug" in the code that wakes up, since it's only called when there are voice instructions. It can be muted, but it must be enabled and probably a language must be selected.

Best regards

Voice instructions are enabled. I don't have problems.

I am currently cycling the river Mosel in France from spring, now after about 300km in Thionville, near frontier to Luxembourg.

Version is nightly from Sept 9.
