Hi guys, my camera always opens in superior auto mode (which is reallllly horrible) and I have to manually set it to manual every time... Is there any way to set default? Also is there any way to access the various scene modes in 20mpixel mode? I'm on the 257 firmware
Cheers

Nope, if you launch the camera from the apps (or icon on home screen) it'll start in manual mode and that's it (and no, there's no way around it yet, and no nobody knows if sony will add it in future firmwares)
Darn, I was really liking the hard camera button on the side because you could actually use it as a point and shoot camera, quickly... Guess I'll hope for a custom rom or an app which allows for some customisation of this... Or a fix for superior auto, yech.
Hi Guys,
Is there a way to automatically turn off the screen at night (during a specific time).
Is there any app to do this ? Or tasker/IFTTT/Tockle profile to do the same ?
I would like a swipe-from-the-right switch similar to the mute switch (swipe from top) which puts the watch into airplane mode and deactivates the always on mode, too. (=night mode)
WatchMaker app just got (after the last update) tasker plugin. You can switch different faces based on different parameters. If you build a face with dim mode - off and you will activate-it after midnight (as an example), then you will get exactly what you want.
Any example for this.. I am unable to figure this out
You need to install "tasker" also, in parallel with "watchmaker".'Go to watchmaker app and create the watch face you desire (or download one from the internet - there are plenty to choose from).
Take the watchface of your choice and create a duplicate.
On the duplicate add a BLACK png file on top of everything and activate-it only in dim mode.
Then, set-u tasker to switch on the duplicate face while it's night and to the original face in the rest of the day.
Now, you will basically have the same watchface in all circumstances, but at night, the dim mode will just be black (which, in the amoled world, means, screen off).

you can do the same thing without Tasker:
add a BLACK png file- or even better: a shape with the color black and size of 512x512px - on top of everything and activate-it only in dim mode
then use the following formula in the opacity field:
{dh23} > 18 and 100 or {dh23} < 7 and 100 or 0
red indicates the time in which to apply the filter (in my case between 19:00 and 07:00)

I'm just using "Slumber for Android Wear"
It makes the screen black when you put the watch on his cradle.
No airplane mode though

yes, WatchMaker is great on its own - but I really love the tasker integration!
I'm using the above formula to set a 50% opacity shade during the night hours in order to dim the screen
btw: the same thing should be possible with Facer

i have used tasker to set the black watch face in the night. but 1 problem, watchmaker works only when one of the faces from watchmaker is selected. If i select any of stock watchface, the tasker thing does not work as it is mentioned in watchmaker app description that to change the face one of the watchmaker faces should be selected on the watch..
Of course it's working like that, seriously, what have you expected?
If/when the main wear app will allow changing faces remotely via tasker (or it will offer an API for that) then we will be able to do that.
Anyway, my watch is turning off by itself while it's placed in the charger. It will not turn off immediately but after few minutes.

I haven't tried it myself, but FaceLift could be what you are looking for
it should allow you to switch to watchmaker (which you have to pre-set with a black image) and back to the stock face at certain times

As I understand it, praddz wants the watch to turn off during a certain time frame, not when charging
If you want the watch to turn off immediately when charging and are willing to enable developer options, for me it works to set the keep screen on option to enabled
At night I just deactivate Screen Alway ON to have screen off while charging. So easy that changing face or other workaround no ? Long press button and just click on screen parameter.

Figured I'd chime in that changing faces from the app is confirmed for the Lollipop/Wear 2.0 update rolling out this week. On another note, it would be cool to have the 5.0 notification system integrated into Wear, so things like Quiet Hours, Priority interruptions, etc. Maybe someday.
Am i missing something? My watch automatically turns the screen off when it's on the cradle, after about 10 minutes.

I said the same thing...
Hi I am new to Tasker and I found it is really really a helpful app and indeed is only limited by your imagination. I did setup some basic profiles like controlling brightness, rotation and volumes. I am really getting some creative ideas to speed up my tasks. However I'm stuck in setting up a profile correctly so I'm requesting for a help.
Requirement- launching of an app (like YouTube, gallery, mx player ) should change the brightness. But at day the brightness should be higher and at night it should be lower. I'm able to change the brightness when app is launched, but can't figure out how to deal with day night time thing. Please help.
Thanks.
Twilight Plugin from Google Play
I use tasker to turn bluetooth on when i am not at home or at work. I set up a profile to turn the brightness up when bluetooth is on and the twilight plugin says it is daylight.
I also have another profile which turns the brightness down when i am connected to the car bluetooth and the twilight plugin says it is dark outside.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to force night colors in android auto. The day colors look so washed out for some reason and was hoping to just use night colors all day long. Thanks!
And while I am at it, does anyone else think that the traffic symbols in Google Maps is way too thin to see clearly. Would rather have it more like it is on the actual phone.

On my 4100NEX, I have the ability to manually set the night/day mode trigger. It can be auto-triggered by the headlights, or set on a timer. You could probably set it to run on a timer, and set it so it pretty much stays in night mode all of the time.

I messed around with the the settings for a couple days. First, I had it set go into (and out of) night mode at a specific time. Around the same time as sunrise/sunset. Now I just have it set to night mode because I too prefer that setting. It also seems to make the traffic lines more visible. Would be nice if satellite layer was an available option too.

Thanks so much for the replies......I appreciate the support!
Activate developer mode in Android Auto and one of the dev options is to force night mode.
Hi all,
I have Oneplus 7 pro - non root. I am trying to add new custom setting. I gave all permissions that needed via adb. For example i added 'night mod activate' as custom setting. Saved then attempted to run. Here is the problem night mode icon toggled from notification bar but phone is not going to night mode, seems tasker side is working completely but phone doesnt care commands. I hope you got me right. Is this problem OxygenOS related or known problem or something else ? Any suggestion ?
Today it is fixed somehow.
I tried oem_black_mode to change to dark theme. Doesn't work for me.
