I was just wondering if anyone ever came up with a method to get ambient mode to act the same way as it does on the LG G Watch R?
This meaning that after a couple of seconds the screen dims down to ambient mode but keeps being on just like with the LG G W R.
I know this would drain battery so please save me from those comments. Auto brightness would preferably still be active.
I allredy know about Swipify and it's "always on" option but that option is not letting the phone go into ambient mode without doing so manually.
Thanks in advance!

To my knowledge it's not currently possible to keep Ambient mode activated on the Moto360 with the current sdk. Hopefully the feature will be possible in the next OS\SDK update.
Hi, is there any way of turning off the bright led flash on the rear of the phone when recording a video. A lot of people tell me when i am recording something even in daylight that it is blinding. Thanks in advance

Mine seems to follow the flash settings shown on the screen, if I'm using Auto mode.
If I have it set to always use the flash (lightning symbol), it uses the light during a video. If I have the flash disabled (crossed-out lightning symbol), it does not use the light. Auto-flash mode (lightning with an "A"), it decides whether or not to use the light.
Try manually disabling the flash. If you're in Simple mode, try changing to Auto mode, then disabling the flash.
Thanks v much, that has fixed the issue

I like the ambient display feature even though it's not perfect. My question is, how can I turn it off at night?? I have do not disturb setup but it still flashes.

Well it only blinks when you get notifications, so possibly if the device was in airplane mode or had the internet connection disabled that wouldn't be a problem.
Tasker or another automation program such as Llama could be used to automate the task each night.
Google needs to tie ambient and LED to do not disturb mode. Only makes sense. Have you checked the roms out? I'd bet one would have this implemented
Yeah I tried a few and couldn't find anything.

Anyone else's notification sensor not working correctly when screen is off. It sometimes flashes on for a second right before I pick up the phone. If I wave my hand over it nothing happens. The ticker is on so I don't know what else could be the problem.

I found out it was because developer mode was on. Oh well, back to having animations.
Thanks for this...I was having the same problem. I turned off Developer options and it started working...then I turned off the Moto Display and re-enabled the developer options. I would rather have a faster device than Moto Display.

Wow thanks! I thought i had a problem with my Moto Z Play, as the notification sensor wasn't working anymore, and it was just flashing as I waved my hand above it, and I didn't realized it was because I activated developer mode! It's a cool feature, but I'm still not going to activate the animations back again, just to have the Moto Display, I'm still on board for a faster device. =)

It was actually because I had animations on 0. I changed it to .5 and the display still works. I can live with that!?

Just found a topic here in the forum explaining that you don't need to give up the Developer Options to have back the Moto Display =)
@ladera gave a great solution in a simliar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/moto-display-approach-issue-t3474414

Do you have the Animator Duration setting in Developer Options set to 0? I think it needs to be at .5 or higher as it governs the duration of the Moto Display appearance time.

I just did this and you can leave Window animation scale and Transition animation scale at zero, and Animator duration scale in .5x and your Moto Display will be back =)
I don't think that Animation duration scale at .5x and all the rest of the animations at zero will drain more battery or lag the phone at all. It's a minor adjustment that brings back a useful functionality =)
I got a MotoZ play today, and I've an similar issue.. I left my phone over a table, but the moto display just flashes from time on time, even when there is no interaction.
Any idea or suggstion??
Developer options are turned off.
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but well, I don't wanna open another thread for a similar issue
It happens to me too i have turned everything to. 5 and it keeps flashing from time to time

Has anyone noticed any issues while using Lightflow? I have been having issues where my phone won't turn on for about 20-30 seconds sometimes and I have turned everything off and Lightflow was the last that I turned off and so far I have not had this issue again yet. I'm just wondering if anyone else had seen this as well.
I had an issue where I would charge my phone at night. I would wake up in the morning and try to turn the screen on but it would stay off. I would have to reboot it to get it to work. The second time I unplugged the phone and could tell it was unlocking with the finger print reader but the screen would not come on. I forced the reboot and when it came back up I had a notification that lightflow was using more battery than it should. Uninstalled it and haven't had the problem since.
Yeah that app got wayyyy to complicated years ago.
I use Lightmanager now. Much simpler havent had any issues
Light Flow seems to be working well on my 2XL.
As far as Light Flow being complicated, it does have a lot of options but that's a good thing IMO, not a negative.
The devs are attempting to make a program that works well with all brands of phones and Samsung, HTC and LG seem to have different methods for controlling the LED.
Light Flow can bypass the OS to control the LED.
I would suggest you email the developer before you give up or move to another program.
I think Light Flow used to have their own forum here on XDA and maybe they still do.
Seems Navigation Bar Hider can have that same effect. Just installed it last night, and had my first experience with that effect. It's a lot less scary now that I know it's not just my phone, or just one app doing it. I wonder if it's the phone, the OS, or the Apps implementation on the OS. I personally think it's more software based though.
Update: Just looked at Light Flow (never used it personally). It looks like it has an effect with the lock screen. It's a theory, and I don't actually plan to test it if I don't have to, but I THINK both it and Nav Bar Hider having an effect with lock screens (with how I had it set up to be active with everything) is what causes it to not come on when you unlock after extended time. Since i have tuned hider to specific apps instead of generically on by default for everything, the symptom has not come back.
Are you on 8.1? A lot of users have been having a similar issue on the beta.
I've had better luck on Pixels with Light Flow Legacy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlegacy
no issues for me with lightflow on 8.0 or 8.1 so far...
Working fine on mine with 8.0.

Do you have anything enabled under Device Settings and Root, or LED control? Been hit or miss for me on 2 XL, have root enabled.

I do not, not rooted.
only thing checked there is the nexus 5 setting, it must have been enabled by default, I don't remember ticking it.
Hows the battery usage with lightflow anymore? I abandoned it when I got my Nexus 6P as the device would never sleep with lightflow.

Ive never had an issue with it, using it since Nexus 5.
No issues here with my 6p or pixel2 other then it seems to go to sleep if my phone is motionless. Once I wake the screen the led comes on. No battery drain either.

Hello everyone,
I seem to be only able to get Light Flow(Paid version) to work but only while the screen is off and not while the screen is on. I am rooted and I tried setting the options for both root on and root off and I have the option set for the LED to be always on while the screen is on, but again I can only get the LED to show with the app while the screen is off. I'm hoping that someone here can help me out by sharing their settings that they are using that enable them to have the LED on while the screen is either on or off. Maybe they could even share their own settings backup file if they have the app working while the screen is on?
I don't use light flow but I do use immersive mode for the navigation bar and I too have the same issue with the screen not coming in once I plug the charger in. I have to hard reboot the phone. I thought it was the Root causing the issue but it's not. I think it happens when hide the navigation bar

It is a hiding the nav bar issue. The dev behind "Custom Navigation Bar" has supposedly figured out the problem and said that it doesn't happen when using that app for immersive mode.

Thank you sir I'm now using the custom navigation bar app and I have not had any issues so far.
Hello everyone,
I asked a question last week but I think it may have been missed or overlooked, so I am bumping it in hopes of getting an answer.
is anyone here able to get the paid version of this app to show/change the notification LED while the screen is on? I am able to change the color of the LED and it shows for all the notifications that I have set while the screen is off, but no matter what I do, I'm unable to get the LED to light up with my notifications while the screen is turned on, even though I have the setting enabled to do so.
So I would like to know what settings ppl are using to enable the LED to light up while the screen is either off or on? because ppl have mentioned in this thread that they have the app working for both screen off and on, so if someone that has this working could please share how they have the app configured, or what they did to get this feature working, then it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys...
