I have always on mode off. When I turn my wrist, the fist watch face that pops up is the all black face with white tick marks, I think this is the same as the always on face. It appears for 0.5-2.0 seconds before my preset watch face appears. Its very annoying, how can I get rid of this such that only my preset watch face is the one that shows up?
Also, slightly related to this, when using the Delta app, my boarding pass QR code used to always be a white face with black dots for the QR code. Now it is often a dark face with white dots, and it is very difficult for the scanners at the airport to read it this way. When my wrist is facing upwards after a few seconds, the colors will change from dark to light, but as soon as I flip my wrist downward to be scanned, the face goes to dark colors and more often than not, the scanner wont scan it. How cam I make it stay on the light/white mode?

Try adjusting brightness in Settings > Adjust brightness ?

I just got my LG G Watch yesterday, and I noticed last night when you leave it with the "always on" option where it dims the screen way down, that in the dark I can see the screen flickering. I tried all the different brightness levels in Settings to see if that would change it, but does not. Can anyone else confirm this? You'll have to get in pitch black environment to see this.
Also, is there a way to turn off the "shake n wake", where it turns the screen on from motion? I tend to sleep with a watch on, and noticed this watch is very sensitive to (or that I flop around like a fish when I sleep.. that's possible too) motion, and I'd rather be able to set it in "touch to wake" mode.

I haven't noticed any flickering on mine, but I may just not be as sensitive to it. You can disable the 'wake by motion' function by muting the watch. (Pull down from the top of the screen)

Thanks for the tip on muting to stop the motion sensor from activating the watch. I find it very sensitive and just sitting at my desk working tends to make it constantly wake up. Muting also turns off vibration so I miss when a notification comes to the watch. Maybe in an OS update or possibly a Developer will enhance the settings so you can still get vibration alerts, but turn off motion wake.
Hi guys, is there any option or an app or something to lower the dimmed screen brightness? I like my watch always on, but I find it a bit to bright, especially at night.

well in the setting there's only setting for brithness when the watch's awake and an option to turn always on, which turn the display off.. I'd like it always on but just a bit darker
Try another watchface
Today I use the "Aviation Watch" and the dim mode is not full white but a little yellow and it is darker than other.
I have also the "Less is more" watchface and you can setup the font color for active and dim mode. I setup my dim color to dark grey and it is very dark in dim mode.

it's not about the background brightness of the watchface.. the screen backlit is always on, and I think it's too bright in dimmed mode.. at least at night. This is the only thing why I regret buying this over the samsung gear live as the amoled screen must look gorgeous in dimmed mode when only the numbers are visible.
I agree. Even with always on set to off, my screen lights up every time I get a notification.
Basically anybody near me could read it. I'd rather it just vibrate. And make me double tap to wake.

Using a clock face with the option of dimmed display settings like Pujie Black - Wear Watch Face turn off all dimmed and it's black display completely off, until wrist turns.
Almost all watchfaces from Smartwatch Bureaux have 2 brighness setup for active and dim mode. You can setup dim mode very very dark but backlight is always ON.
I would like an APP that I can set the Screen to OFF from 1 am until 8 am then back to always on. I dislike having to change the settings when I lay down and wake up.
That is the beauty of Android... some smart programer will write some code for an app and I will buy it...
Yesterday night I noticed that black pixels do not switch off completely on my phone. (as they should on AMOLED, right?)
Try it this way:
Set your screen brightness to almost a very low value.
Now look at a picture which has a black background and very little color in the middle etc. The room has to be dark, otherwise you wont see a difference. (You can also cover your had with a blanked etc., just wait a moment, so your eyes get used to the dark environment).
Hide the statusbar, navbar etc., so only your picture is shown (Tap on the picture once in Google Photos).
When you disable your lockscreen and switch the display on and off a few times you'll see that the picture vanishes first and than the display goes completely dark. It looks like a very light yellow back-light.
Another way:
Again in dark environment power off your phone. Switch it back on and watch the bootlogo. The surroundings (everything that's black) is truly black and "switched off" and than some secs before completing boot the "back-light" switches on.
I tried to find a solution for that. The only thing I found is a setting in Kernel Adiutor named "Minimum RGB value" under the screen section which is set to 35. However lowering it to 0 does not work, the value get reset to 35 every time (Higher value does not change anything either tho).
I'm running Oxygen OS 2.2.0 with bluespark kernel + root + xposed (Gravitybox + XInternalSD)
maybe the black is not that black?
edit: just tested with fullhd resolution black picture and red dot pixel in centre(PNG file, not jpg nor bmp) and everything is working as intended - black is pitchblack(same as when u just block/shutdown ur phone)
edit2: i'm not having my reflex by my side this couple of months, but you can check it making a photo in light isolated room with low shutter speed(20sec should be enough, if they really produce light)

Thank you for testing. I reproduced your result with a #000000 PNG and everything seems fine, as long as the brightness does not go below a certain value. Turning auto brightness off and sliding the brightness completely down enables some kind of light in the whole panel.
Could it be some android feature, which put's a light overlay over the the screen image to protect the eyes in low light environments, like these warm filter mods?
Hey guys,
just as I had settled to keep my V30 (and use Lux for autobrightness) despite banding. I found something new!
If I unlock my phone and I have some white displayed, I can see the color temperature shift (like yellowish, bluish, greenish, yellowish, greenish, ....) for like 10-20 seconds, then it settle.
I also notice that when I turn off my screen, the color change back just before the screen goes off.
It's happening on every color configuration, with auto-brightness, without, etc.
Could it be a "feature"? Is it the screen adjusting it's white balance to the outside lighting?
Thanks and regards,
Dan
Nobody has ever noticed that? Just go to google on your web browser, then close your phone, unlock directly to the google home page and check the white background. Mine shift temperature (or white balance) a couple time before "settling" to one.
Nope. Not seeing this behavior at all.
Ok I found what is causing this and I think it's normal. It's just the first phone I own that does that. Here is the culprit :

Even with auto brightness turned off, there seems to be a white balance adjustment (which is the first time I see). This light is making it do seizure.
Hi,when Aod is on, a trail appears on the screen when switching to the lock screen.could you please put a shiny wallpaper on your lock screen and try to open aod? then turn the screen towards the lamp to get full brightness. then wake up the lock screen and try to see the trail.When I turned off the fingerprint, the trace disappeared.Try fingerprint turned on.
I recorded it on video. If you watch it carefully, you will see the traces.
