Hey folks,
Does anyone know of a way to have the watch display in ambient mode (instead of turning fully on) when you tilt it? I find that the ambient mode is plenty bright and don't need or want it to light up fully when I just want to see the time. Any thoughts or ideas?
Switch off "turning on screen on tilt" (or something like that) in watch settings in Android Wear app

I like to read ebooks at night. Those buttons are very bright and don't seem to ever turn off when it is dark. It is very annoying. Anyone know of a way to force them to be off?
In CyanogenMod, I was a fan of the setting that allowed me to "prevent phone's auto brightness from going down".
I like auto brightness and appreciate its ability to save battery life when indoors vs. enabling me to see the phone if I go outside in a high light situation.
However, under florescent lights, or in a room with a definitive light source (single lamp in dark room)... the phone's sensor keeps jumping it between light levels where the screen brightness goes up and down.... up and down... It's a bit dizzying and makes the phone somewhat uncomfortable to use.
Anyone find an app or workaround to automatically achieve what I want... other than... disabling auto brightness when it starts, setting an appropriate brightness level, and then, trying to remember to re-enable later when I'm outside (and of course, have a hard time then seeing the phone )
?
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
I tried searching everywhere for two apps and can't find anything. I think it would be really simple but since there is no app to do this I find it strange, or maybe people don't need this...
The first one is a way to turn the screen on when I receive a notification on my watch (when ambient mode is off). I have a ticwatch E and find it really annoying to not have an option for this. Does anyone have any solution?
The other is brightness control when in ambient mode. I would like to lower the brightness of the watch when it is in ambient mode. I know that there was an app to do this (swapp true brightness or something like this) but it no longer works. Does anyone know one that works?
I found it is annoying too, I own a Ticwatch S and I want to turn off the Ambient light too but it can't pop up notification on screen after turning it off , also I wanted to turn down the brightness of the Ambient light because it make burn in on my screen after 4 month didn't change watch face
Hi M8´s,
When my watch in with screen "OFF", the dimming is too low and sometimes i even can see the hours ...
It´s possible to raise the dimming ? i allready try manual and auto dimming.
@ - When the screen is on everithing it´s ok... it´s only when it´s "off".
Thanks.
Hmmm, errrrr. When screen is off there is no backlight at all, you have to press the button or enable double tap/move wrist to wake up in Settings. If you want to use the watch in low light you may want to use an inverted watchface too (white background).
