Hi @Simon B 

This issue appears again when I downgraded the system to S1 (as I want to group my Move with Play 5 Gen 1), no matter I put it on or off the charging base, it will wake itself up after 30 mins since I set it into Sleep Mode.

Under S2, if I removed Google Assistant, the issue will not appear.

I short press the power button turn it into Sleep Mode, then just did nothing, 30 mins later, the Move wake up by itself, then I opened S1 App and sent you a diagnostic report, the confirmation number is: 474963769.

Can you check it or test it on your device? I’ve contacted your support team, but unfortunately there was no satisfactory response.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply @Simon B 

Unfortunately, I’ve contacted the phone support team three times today, but get no useful answer yet.

The support team’s answer is unconvincing, they told me that the product is designed like this, which I cannot agree, (1) since it works fine with S2, (2)and it make no sense that if I want set it to sleep, and you designed it to wake up automatically wake up around 30 minutes without any order? it seems absurd.

But this is the answer from them, which make me feel helpless, when I tried to argue with them, they just hung up the phone….

if it is possible you or your colleague test Move with S1 under the latest firmware?

Hi @steamed_fish, thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about what happened. I tried to coordinate this issue with our specialist, and I was told that you need to coordinate with our phone support team and let them know that since you’ve done all necessary steps, they need to escalate this case to a higher specialist over the phone. I was advised that it shouldn't behave this way, so this issue needs to be coordinated with a higher specialist for further checking. 

If there is anything else I can do for you, please, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Thank you @Simon B , but I’ve contacted them, and they said it’s “normal”, but obviously it’s not normal at all, and they don’t listen to me and don’t want to escalate the issue, what shall I do? it’s a delimma.

I can prodive you the case number #02157078
