Hello, I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I just got a g watch r and the screen is amazing. But no matter which watch face I use, when it goes into ambient mode, the colour of the features ie/ numbers, minute/hour hands etc turn this gold colour. So for example, I have made a watch face using pujie black and want the normal screen and the ambient screen to be the same colour, just dimmer when in ambient mode, but every time it switches to ambient mode, the colours of the watch features turn gold. Its actually a really nice effect having that gold look but I just cant seem to find out how to alter this if possible, or find any information about it. It happens with all the stock watch faces as well.
I hope someone and help me out with this!
I sincerely appreciate your help.
Cheers.
Photo ?
I've tried to take a photo but it just doesn't turn out. Basically the white is off, sort of a bronze / brown / yellowish tint.
I don't have that "feature", did you try factory reset? If not try to install another ROM and see if it helps.

Has anyone come up with an app that will switch the phones dialer screen and other screens that show up white (and bright!) to a 'night' mode using either the light sensor or user identified times of day? It would be nice to have the phone automatically darken at night for safety like dialing while driving. I'm a pilot and they teach you not to look at bright lights while flying at night and to use blue or red lighting in the cockpit so as not to impair your night vision. Any thoughts? Has it/can it be done, reliably?
pocketmax phonealarm
even does way way more than that
google it.
change profile based on location, remind u of stuff on set time intervals.

Flyguy, I think that's a great idea that hopefully will one day be stock for all cellphones. The Raphael having a light sensor was a big selling point for me, and also a major let down to discover that it is barely functional.
As technology moves forward, I would LOVE to see accurate and effective light sensor hardware combined with a mobile shell that can not only dim, but switch to a high contrast color scheme.... something along those lines.
check out Lumos, works great with the light sensor......
uhhmmmm
why are you making phone calls while flying? shouldnt you be.... eh nvm hope this wasnt an ancient thread....
I just got the amazing lg g watch r. Very satisfied with it. I am just trying some watch faces and i found this great one for example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ddroid.aw.watchface.rf03
Very happy with it but I wonder....
How real is the danger for screen burn ins? This watch face has for example a green background in ambient mode. I keep the brightness as low as possible, but still readable (great thing of this watchface is that you can set the brightness of ambient and active mode as low or as high as you want) but still the oled screen will always be green..
Is this healthy for this kind of screen? Of course I can turn off the green background and have it black and white in ambient mode, but I like the effect of the screen being dimmed and going to brighter green when twisting my wrist.
But I don't want the screen to go to waste already after a while... anybody have a theory?
What is ambient mode? people keep mentioning it. This watch has no light sensor.

If you want to use the "always on" feature w/o worries, green is the colour you want.
Greem OLED compund has 3 chracteristics that makes it the best choice:
- most visible light from the whole spectrum (for the human eye, that is): this mean you need a very low brighness level in order to see it (power and burn-in safe)
- the most power efficient sub-pixel (1.5 times as economic as red and 2.5 to 3 times ore econmic than blue).
- the most resilient (lowest degradation over time, twice compared to red and 4 times compared to blue).
So, if you like always-on display and you wnat the most out of your watch, green is the choice for AMOLED screens.
**** note: the numbers above are a synthesis from specialised web-sites as well as from my own measurements with OLED screens (Samsung models at least). ****
well, green is the "best" color to display on OLED screens - but black (=pixels are off) would be way better regarding burn-in and battery
It seems that the watchface you linked has a black mode with green font as well - use that one in ambient mode and you should be good

Yeah, this seems the safest option to me too. But the effect is not as nice of course when the screen becomes active. Colors get inverted when the screens goes bright. The effect is cooler when the dimmed green background goes bright, like you turn on the backlight
But I'll stick with the safe option for now, I just don't trust it

I thought blue was the easiest to see, hence its used on police cars and ambulances.
Bring up Google now and ask this: "OK Google, what is the most visible colour to the human eye?"
See what it will answer and post here

Yellow
I was actually curious to see if anyone will search ... GJ.
What is yellow made of in RGB world (AMOLED is RGB)? : RED + GREEN.
What is closer to yellow (in terms of wavelenght), red or green? : GREEN ...
That why, the most visible pure colour of the RGB matrix is green ... which happens to be the most economical one to use. Double win
Sure would be nice if it had a proximity sensor, so it could turn off the screen when inside my sleeve. I figure that would pretty much solve the problem for me.
That would definitely be a plus ... but the question is: where to place such a sensor w/o breaking the design? Moto 360 solution is not on everyone's liking.

I was liking this watch face, till I purchased and realized it has everything except the "current" temperature...
Where does gray fall on the color burn in scale?

I don't remember this happening on my G watch, but on the Urbane when the watch goes into dim mode it fades to black then back to dim. I would prefer it just fades from bright to dim with no black. I thought this was a Watchmaker issue at first, but same thing happens on several builtin watch faces too. Its distracting as I move my arm around for it to go from bright to black to dim. bright to dim would be much better. I have always-on screen set. Android Wear 6.0.1
When I lift my wrist to check the time, the dim to bright transition isn't bad, but a couple seconds later it fades to black then to dim.
Is there some setting for this or workaround??? Setting for the time watch stays bright?
Thanks!
Not sure if what you describe is my same beef but every time I turn my wrists it flashes, which is annoying. I too thought this was a Watchmaker issue at first, but I also see it in some built-in faces. I have dim/bright, then black then bright. My Huwaei did not have this issue. This may be a deal breaker.
I too was kind of annoyed by this but realized it does have some value to it. Most ambient watch faces have a lot less elements being shown on the display in addition to colors fading out, etc. That's how the stock designs work, so that's how I set custom faces to act as well - hoping to prevent any sort of screen burn issues.
Anyway, if the watch were to go from bright to dim without going full dark, the elements of the interactive display mode would immediately vanish and the screen would abruptly change to the much more basic look. This would be a strange and jarring thing to see in my opinion... with the display going full dark, the basic screen fades in and you don't notice the extra interactive screen elements just abruptly disappearing. Now, the BEST way to handle this would be to have those extra screen elements fade out when the watch dims without it going fully dark. This may have been possible for LG to do with the stock watch faces, but I don't see custom faces accommodating that kind of feature unless there was some sort of universal code that could be applied to those specific elements to fade out completely while leaving the basic elements on.

"Anyway, if the watch were to go from bright to dim without going full dark, the elements of the interactive display mode would immediately vanish and the screen would abruptly change to the much more basic look" Except this is not what happens with the Huwaei watch using the same faces. Also, many wathmaker faces have no real "dim" face so it goes full face, black full face.
Hi everyone, as you should know the Asus Zenwatch 3 has an AMOLED display. From my understanding this should mean when displaying the colour black, the pixels should be turned off completely (like on my S7 Edge).
I was looking at my watch in a pitch black room with an ambient watch face displaying a black background and it appeared slightly reddish. Compared with my LG G Watch R sporting the exact same watch face it was clear the LG had the black pixels turned off but not on my Zenwatch 3.
I've attached a couple of pictures taken with my phone of the Zenwatch 3 in a pitch black room, one with normal shutter speed and the other with a 2 second shutter speed. Evidently the 2 second shutter speed shows that the display is in fact not turning off the pixels. The pics were taken when the watch was charging and in ambient mode with a watch face set to true black only.
Can anyone else confirm that this is the case and maybe a reason why? I'm worried that battery life may be affected by this with always on display enabled.
Lastly on a side note, are the black lines that aren't illuminated something to worry about?
Mine is the same, including a similar set of dark lines. I've seen others on Reddit report identical concerns.

Noticed this too, thought I was crazy lol...kinda waste of an AMOLED screen.
Hmmm ok at least I'm not the only one. Hopefully Asus is able to change it in a future update.
Yeah it is weird, black watch faces aren't truly black. I think they did it so watch faces can blend into the color scheme of the watch, if you notice the color overlay on the app launcher
That's because of auto Brightness. Turn it off. This impacts battery life. I observed this on very first day after the purchase. Using manual Brightness since then.

I just tried disabling Auto Brightness but the red tinge of the black background still exists.

It doesn't happen with me. If I turn off auto Brightness the blacks go complete black. Do you have live display turned on your phones? If so try disabling it. May be this setting depends on your phone. All I can confirm is if I turned auto Brightness off amoled works perfectly.

Not sure what you mean by live display but I just have a stock S7 Edge. I prefer keeping the auto brightness on for my watch so I guess I'll have to live with it.

Live display is when some ROMs allow the screen to have a tint at night time so the blue light from the screen won't affect your eyes at night
Me too have similar display and black line like that.
Glad I'm not the only one with this condition.
I also have those black lines, was about to get a replacement but since I'm not the only one and it doesn't affect overall performance or aesthetics its fine.
Yeah I have also black lines and screen is not completely dark with totally black watch faces
Turning off the auto brightness is not a solution. Its a pain if you had to adjust the brightness all the time
Guys Im new to this amoled screens
But is it become warm colors sometimes ???
More like yellow I guess

If your display is set to Adaptive Mode, your screen will change the screen tone (including white) based on your surroundings, just like the True Tone feature on the iPhone X.

Well, I have A6 plus, but I don't have experienced like what you wrote. I can only making it manual in Adaptive Mode. Do I need switch on/off something to work it automatically?

Well, the screen tone changing is barely noticeable unless you compare when you go from one place to another. I have my screen mode on Adaptive Mode and the full screen color balance is on the middle.
Thank you. Also what I don't understand, if I'm using other screen mode like Adaptive, and when I switch on the Blue light filter, it switches back to Adaptive mode with that tiring vivid colour. Why it's just don't apply the Blue light filter in the applied Screen mode? Meh...
