Cover Display

Good morning,

i have a problem with my LG G watch R. If I cover my screen with my hand, nothing happens. Usually the screen should go into dim mode, but since yesterday the watch doesn't react.

Anyone an idea?
I would be very happy if someone could help me.
just to clarify, you have to lay your hand flat on the display (touching it over a large area, not just cover up the display to block out the light). The fleshy or convex part of the hand seems to work best to make contact with a larger area of the screen.

I'm reasonably sure you already knew that, but I mention it because:
1-from watching that gesture on video, I myself used too think they were just blocking off the light
2-your terminology "cover"could be consistent with that misconception that I used to have.

Again, very sorry if I'm clarifying something that never needed clarifying to you.
