I am new to android wear and just got my SW3 but there are a few things I'd like to configure on my watch but I just cannot find the appropriate settings. Is there anyway to achieve the following?
Disable the automatic exit from ambient mode
Disable touch screen to exit ambient (go button only?)
set deifferent actions for button press
set a "sub" ambient mode
The last one there probably needs an explanation, I have a number of watch faces that present entirely different faces when in ambient mode and will not show them when active. What i'd really like is to be able to see these ambient screens with the back light and colouring.

I've had my watch for a while now and can't seem to get it to go into Dim-Mode after looking at the face. Whenever I turn the watch face on to look at the time, after a while it go off completely without showing me the dim mode. Is there something I am missing?
It sounds like you're looking for "Ambient Mode" just go to the setting and turn it to "Ambient Mode: On"
I like Ambient mode too because it makes it very quick and easy to glance and check the time!
Does anybody know if it is possible to have ambient mode come on and go off at specified times. I would like ambient on through the day and to go off automatically at say 9PM.
Tasker with autowear could certainly be used to toggle on schedule what auto wear calls "keep screen on" mode. But it's actually more aggressive at keeping the screen on than the normal ambient mode in watch settings.
Hi guys
I was wondering if any of you found a way to automate night mode on our lenovo p2 nougat?
it's called brightness protection under Settings -> display
I want to enable it when the sun goes down and disable it when it's morning., like how similar night mode apps work (cf.lumen, lux etc)
currently I tend to forget disabling the option so the screen stays reddish.
I don't have root but know how to work abd if needed
Hi,
I was also struggling with this till I found out, go to settings, features, smart scenes and create one say for sleeping, you can adjust the time interval and with the plus button you can add a task for brightness protection.
Hello guys,
i know there's a way to disable tilt to wake gestures from the watch settings, but is there a way to keep the watch on and also disable the "tilt to sleep" gesture ?
thanks
There is also a way to set screen always ON on watch setting
That's not the same thing. Always on screen is Active even if backlight is off. I want both active at same time ! If i tilt the Watch down, the backlight goes off and any sideloaded app open on Watch get closed.
what do you want ? screen ON with backlight ? without backlight ? active ? not active ?
if you add theater mode (double button click) screen keep ON and not active.
for always screen ON and backlight ON there are some app to keep backlight but battery last 5 hours....

Yep, i want screen on and backlight on as i am testing a sideloaded app, i dont care about battery.
Which app ? I don't want to root my Watch
Some app like :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonephreak.extendedlight
Did you ever find something to achieve this? It seems there needs to be a way to disable the action of tilting backwards/down from triggering ambient mode. That StayLit appears to only be for when the watch is still facing you. Ambient still gets triggered in alternate directions.
EDIT: I just realized "Infinity" in StayLit did what I needed. The + didn't work so I thought it wasn't working at all.
Can anyone tell me if there is a built-in "night mode" on the 2XL? Coming from an S7 Edge there was an option in the settings that at a preset time the always on display would switch to a very minimal display that was only across one edge of the screen, it made for a nice alarm clock without being too bright overnight, then at a preset time it would revert to its normal settings of a large clock, displaying notifications, calendar etc.
I know I could use something like Alarm Clock Plus, but am trying to avoid having to install an app if there is built in functionality to do the same thing.
Thanks.
no
Short and sweet. Thanks. There are definitely a couple things Google could learn from Samsung on just small things like that though.
yep. but in the dark the ambient display is not bright so dont be afraid of burning your eyes.
The closest thing I have to what you are asking is using Tasker to turn off AOD when DND is enabled.
I have a profile to enable DND overnight, which in turn disables AOD.

That's not a bad idea, I paid for Tasker long ago (run it on my Nexus 7 in the car) so it would just be a case of setting it up on the Pixel.
There is a clock screensaver for when phone is plugged. I don't use always on display but want to be able to see clock without touching phone. You can adjust tue brightness of it via nightmode switch. Under display - screensaver h clock ...

In case you were wanting to actually implement this, I double checked how I did it, and it's with the paid plugin "AutoTools".
I turn the AOD on when I'm connected to BT in my car since it's on a mount and also off at 10pm. If the task runs when your screen is off you do need to turn your screen on for it to take effect. So I check if my screen is off. If it is I have it turn on and off briefly.
trigger always on using tasker auto tools
New Task
Plugin -> Autotools -> Secure Settings
Configure
Custom Setting
Setting Type = "Secure"
Name = "doze_always_on"
Input Type = "Int"
Value = "0" OFF/ "1" ON
I've done some testing and I can't tell if it even works...not sure if a reboot is required or what each time...maybe someone else can add to this.
The below article might be fine for a stock Rom, but doesn't seem to work on Nitrogen with a kernel/magisk.
You need to have ambient brightness turned on though, otherwise, the default values are used and these overrides don't work.

If you hit the battery saver before you go to bed that will deactivate always on.
Turn battery saver off in the morning and always on will be back on.
Should solve your problem!
Or just flip the screen over. That deactivates it as well.
