Do any of you have the same problem of your Stark Phone constantly turning on while the bike is off?

Every other I walk into my garage, the Arkenstone phone screen is on while the bike is off.

Any recommendations for a fix?

Start with shutting the bike all the way down. Then the phone. Have a coffee (very important).

I used to have a similar issue, got in the habit of full shut down when parked at home (bike not phone). Nothing since.

Thanks, I'll have to do the same thing from now on and just full shutdown my bike. The Arkenstone phone turning on and off endlessly is probably not very good for it.

No, don't shut the bike all the way down.
There is a small battery in the VCU, if it goes dead while the bike is in full shutdown, you won't be able to turn it back on.
I'm pretty sure Stark will warranty it and send you a new VCU, but you'll be down for a couple weeks while you email, wait for reply, and wait for shipping.

Yes. I fought it for days trying every trick.
The bastard would randomly light up and stay on overheating at full brightness and draining the battery.
It's not related to wireless charging. Even unclamping it from the dock and slightly raising didn't help.

I decided it's some bug in the app and gave up. Now I put the bike in total shutdown and phone as well. This way there's no drain on both batteries.
