Hi
Can I make the watch always light?
(NOT just when i lift wrist to view info)
any help?
I don't think so but why would you? The screen is already reflective and having brightness constantly on will drain the battery severely

I have the opposite question.
Is it possible to have light turned on while notifications or pressing button only during the night while during the day it will be turned off all the time?

black tape it or use permanent marker
Hello,
I think ales47 is searching for the possibility to turn off LED only while charging. Otherwise, in normal use, he wants the LED to work normally.
Is it possible to turn off the LED only while charging phone?
Yeah i too think of the same thing. actually the green light is very much bright than the yellow one. i have to keep it upside down to keep the light off. other than that i have no idea to consider you.
or you have to use a light form or something (that it wont hurt the screen) when you charge. and the miss call notification is very annoying at night too. every flash will kill your sleep slowly. i have to clear the notifications before i sleep.
Any other suggestions?

Seriously, you are very helpful to us
haven't tried it out myself, but in settings - profiles you select a profile, and the last option PHONE, the last option again is LIGHTS MODE and is set in no override.
You could create a profile for the night with the setting switched to OFF.
Hope it works

I once tried the profile thing but i had no notifications. but this is regarding a light steadily lighting. i guess it is for the notifications only.
I don't know why it bothers you at night... at some point I can't even sleep without having light on phone... Put a tape over the LED? I just think it's not possible to change this...
Hey bro you really should search before starting a new thread
Have a look at this, i suggest you read the whole topic.

xperia s has auto briightness which you cannot turn off.it wastes battery it does this by the ambient light sensor,anyone know an app to turn it off?
You can change your brightness with any widget. Also from my experience auto brightness saves more battery than it drains.

Tried it doesn't work. I set a brightness but when I put my finger over the sensor it changes the brightness. The brightness change is only like 10% either way from the set brightness. So its like partial auto brightness. But i want to turn it off altogether.
Go to Playstore and search "Toggle ALS Xperia"
Install this app Disable Automatic Brightness. And please note it needs u to be rooted

Doesnt this defeat the object of having a HD screen? :S
I cant do 0% its way too dark. The screen is killing my battery im trying my best to minimise power usage of the screen and i think this ambient sensor is part of the problem - im not too sure how much power it really uses. After very lightly using my phone for 10 hours i checked the stats and it says 50% of the energy is used by apps,wifi and phone radio which is fine, but the other 50% is used by the display...And the display was only one for 1 hour of those 10 hours.........

I have exactly the same problem!
I can't turn it OFF...I hate the Xperia S auto-brightness...it's so slow and not smooth at all...it's like varying from 10% to 10% and it never stops varying!!so annoying!...initially I even thought it was a screen/light problem until I noted "ohh...this is not a screen problem, is just an awful auto-brightness"
I tried every widget, everything and is useless! either is at 100% or 0%...the rest is AUTO-Brightness!
Then there's battery...the display is always above 65% of all power consumption...is such high percentage normal?
Need help too!

Is the app called "someone oiled"? Can't find it anywhere...anyway, tried already so many apps, widgets and FW...always the same issue, either 0%, 100% or auto.
I have a blocked bootloader so I guess there's no way I can switch the freagging Auto-Brightness off. Just another disappointment regarding this phone, among many others

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.

Hola
I tried this slumber app but it did not turn my screen off during charging. Yes, I did launch the app from the watch and ensured that it was enabled.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

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.

I put my watch in Theater mode (swipe down from the top, then swipe left) and the face stays off until I remove the watch from the charger and press the button to wake it.
Is there a way to apply the brightness settings to the always on display watch face.
I'm unable to see it in direct sunlight and have to turn on the watch to see the time.
GTR doesn't have always on function.
It's the biggest mistake they maid in this watch and screw up it.
I didn't buy it just for this!

It has always on display and not only that, with the latest firmware user may choose between two watchfaces: a digital and an analogic one. On the other hand, the brightness is fixed and relatively low. I imagine this is to limit power consumption

The brightness settings is also apllied to the AOD display. Just turn off auto-brightness and set it manually.

That is definitely the downside of having an AMOLED screen instead of reflective LCD like the bip. There's no workaround. The same problem applies to cellphone, but they have light sensor instead.
My aod turns off, so it is pointless. I don't know why. I need to manually boot it up with the button.

If it doesn't detect any movement for 5 minutes, it turns off. It's a protection measure for power saving when you go to sleep and you don't need the AOD.

I figured it was something like that. Kinda defeats the purpose tho. I ended up disabling it. When I look at the watch to see the time the main watchface pops up before I get to see the aod.
Thank you.

That's because you have the lift to wake feature activated too.
It doesn't make sense to have both enabled. Use one or the other.

Well, since the V30 does not have a notification LED, I read somewhere that there is a notification on the always on screen instead. My question is this, is there any way to adjust the always on screen brightness? Seems that the setting for that does not really help at all. Or has anyone discovered an app that notifies you of missed calls or texts? Thanks.

On my phone the AOD brightness toggle makes it brighter.
No recent (over 2 years) flagship phone has LED notifications anymore.

Notifications bar on upper left side of the home screen. Same place it's always been.
Thanks for the info ChazzMatt. I just discovered that turning off the bright display toggle makes the AOD screen brighter. Seems backwards to me but it works.
