I haven't been able to come up with a way to set my screen to full brightness while charging, and haven't found a solution with a search. I want it up as bright as it will go when the phone is in my car mount and plugged in, and I normally keep the brightness below 50% to save battery. It's a pain to switch the display setting each time I get in and out of the truck. I have Tasker, but I haven't been able to come with a way to do what I want with it yet, unless I'm missing something. Ideally, I'd have it automatically go to 100% with no timeout or dim when I plugged the phone in. Any suggestions?
I suggest getting a new phone.

Thanks, that's lots of help. But to be honest, if I was looking to get pointers from a prick, I'd still own an iPhone.

Just swipe the notification bar at the top of the screen left and right to change the brightness, no need to go to display settings.
I am on Fenny's ics rom and in developer settings it has stay awake while charging but it was in Tasks rom also I just can't remember where.
Edit...I just searched play store market for screen control and seen a paid app called screebl it has settings for brightness in portrait and landscape (slider controls) and also a box to tick to disable while docked. I am thinking you could set it up with those options.

You see, now THAT is a useful bit of advice; I didn't know about using that gesture. Thanks for that, I know I'll get a lot of use out of that info now, no more trying to navigate to settings when I walk out into the sun. However, I would like to find a way for the screen to go to full brightness when I plug it in.

I'm on Tasks ROM; the stay awake setting I can do, but if I'm not mistaken it will still dim the screen after a bit, won't it?
Yea just hold you're finger on the furthest right of the notification bar after you plug it in. only takes a second.

Nice find thanks for sharing.
That app works perfectly. Thanks OP for starting this thread. I have always manually adjusted, so it's nice to skip the steps....and thanks to adfurgerson for the link!!
And fyi, I don't know if it's my phone, but no matter how I swipe the notification bar to adjust brightness, it never goes to 100% brightness. I always check in settings afterwards, and it's at about 95%. Maybe I've been doing it wrong, but with the above mentioned app, I no longer need to wonder.

Is your auto-brightness turned on?
I'd be a lot happier with auto-brightness if I had more control over it, like if I could set the baseline for it to adjust from, and maybe change the adjustment frequency.

I never use auto...what I'm referring to is the phone's overheating protection. My phone is charging right now and it feels warm around the edge and just under the back camera lens. I'm sitting pretty close to a warm fireplace. I'm sure if I were outside (45F) the screen wouldn't be dimming.

Put your right hand, turned to the side, on the right side of the phone. Then in one quick movement slide it across the screen to the left side. A white line should follow, indicating that the screenshot was taken.

It's normal depending on your usage. It packs a lot of horsepower and high performance equals higher temperature. But as long as it's warm and not hot everything is fine.

Depends on your usage scenario. Battery is usually drain by the combination of Sync and 3G. You need to either disable sync or go back to 2G.
The paid app 'Juicedefender beta' can do either of both (or the combination) automatically for you, I let it go back to 2G when not needed. Battery life is roughly doubled with this feature. (Requires root tough)
Note; Most of these questions could've been answered through a forum search individually.

Swype is only working when you write messages, not in every other input box you have on the phone.

Get SwiftKey 3,it's super!
Or swype beta from their website.. Works everywhere.
Press power+home for screenshot.. Keep them hold like 2 seconds.
Download widgetlocker and put whatever widget you want on the lock screen
Get betterbatterystats from xda and check wake locks.
Does it get warm when using 3g data like browsing? Or do you mean gaming?

Hi
I have several questions :
1. I already experienced that the night clock doesn't appear instantly when you put the watch onto the charger. Sometimes it takes a time till it appears.
2. What about screen burn from the night clock? I read about it in the forum for the first gen moto 360. Is it still a issue with the 2nd Gen 360?
3. There are wear developer options in the developer options. And there is the option "burn-in protection" (I hope it's called that way in English, I've got it on German) but it won't activate even after reboot as it tells me to do.

I disable the night clock by turning on theater mode (double click the side button). But I do this because it seems to fix the heart rate monitor from tracking the apparent 100BPM of the charger lol.
I use the Slumber app that automatically turns the screen off as soon as you place the watch on the charger.
I don't think there will be any burn in issue, since Moto360v2 have LCD screen. Burn-in have place on OLED screens only (Huawei Watch for example) since they have organic diods which degrade over time. LCD don't have this issue at all because they have one backlit light for all pixels and 'rotating' pixels. With LCD screens nothing is affected by the picture on the screen (technically). With OLED screens each pixel emits light on its own, therefore degradation of pixels is dependant on the picture on the screen (whether this particular pixel emits the light most time or not) = burn in.
Therefore night mode on Moto360 can be used safely for as long as you wish.

The button to enable/disable Slumber wasn't very intuitive to me. I actually disabled it when I wanted to enable it, so you may have the same problem. Try toggling the setting the other way around.
also, incase anyone noticed, slumber only puts a black overlay on top of the clock. the screen is still lit up at night, but it's black. incredibly stupid on Motorola to not let us shut off the screen.

First of all, thanks to @xtermmin for pointing me in the right direction for this.
Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:
Download Shortcut Master Lite
Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)
Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch
In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch
Here you will find some options.
Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.
Back out of the menu and you are done.
There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.
Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.
If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.
Thanks!

This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.
What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.
Can I remove the vibration when I use the double tap to wake?
This has made 0 difference for me. I've got a 64gb US variant. I've also noticed double tap to wake stops working when the phone is in Doze. Anyone else have this issue?
Same same with doze, but when my phone isn't deeply asleep this tip indeed increased touch sensitivity.

It's there by default on the US model, at least.
While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.

Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.

Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.
Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.
Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

Edit: I contacted support as well but all I could get was an ambiguous assurance that "AOD won't hurt performance". No confirmation either way about whether it avoids burn in.

I won't be using AOD until I know for sure.

Yeah, I've turned it off for now as well, until more info.
Guys, it's easy enough to test on your own instead of asking some ignorant support guru in India. Put a post it on the screen with a corner on one of the dots separating the hours and minutes, and you'll see that it does still move around ever so subtlety.
I have kind of tested this and I can tell you from watching carefully where the AOD display in connection with where the lockscreen is which is stationary. I can tell you that the AOD does move from time to time and does not stay in the same place.

Clearly, Looks like you got intolerant against Indian geeks. Hah. Any given day, unlike you - I think, they're proficient and down to earth at the same time.
By the way, the answer to the OPs question is, On my Pixel 3, the AOD does move a very little bit randomly by a very little margin, you won't notice it until you pay close attention to it for a while. Alternatively, you can use apps like Burn check, in order to check if your display is okay.
I've just created an app called Pixel Pulse. I could use some testers if anyone is willing to give it a try. You can select the apps you want to have the app pulse your Ambient Display. There's paid customization for icons and colors but the core functionality of the app is free.

If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

It's a person of Indian origin who is running the company of both the phone and the OS you are using at the moment.
