I have ambient mode on. I do noticed that it does not wake up from ambient mode and I either need to tap screen or click on the crown to wake it up (I verify by seeing the seconds hand showing up ). Is this normal? Gesture setting is off.
NM. I didnt see tilt to wake on watch settings, it was on Phone Android wear.

It is my understanding that the display is supposed to dim, but never shutoff when ambient mode is selected. Is this true? if so, since mine does shutoff, could the fact that I have a screen protector be impacting this?

No it will still shut off after a certain amount of time. It's normal from what I heard.

Also, if you want to turn it off....
There is an Ambient setting in the Android Wear application on your phone/tablet.
If you wait for the watch to dim, and then uncheck the Ambient setting box the screen will turn off.
Good luck!
It has to do with orientation and motion. It dims most of the time but is able to turn off if not in use or held down at your side.

Thanks all. All the reviews online indicate that when ambient screen is enabled,the face would never shutoff, but enter a dimmed state. This clears it up. so the only difference between ambient and ambient mode off is that it would shutoff immedietely instead of entering a dimmed state prior to fully shutting off?

Basically. Ambient mode is on and dimmed quite a bit. Not always. Just a lot.
Ambient mode off basically dims the screen briefly before turning it off completely.
While ambient mode off seems like it would be bad, it's not. The gesture to turn it on is pretty sensitive and responsive. Also, you can just touch the screen or the button to turn it on as well.
?
Anyone know if you can turn off the gesture motion and only turn it on by pushing button. I believe this would save a ton of battery.
Just driving into work this morning the screen turned on 20+ times on a 45min commute.

Yeah just about everyone wants that feature so I would expect it to be included in a future update sometime, it's mentioned on basically every page of this thread:

Hey guys, wanted to see if this was an issue. I'm on the latest lollipop build on my 360 and using a Note 4 with lollipop also. In android wear settings I turn ON ambient mode, it stays on sometimes, but other times it turns completely off, I'd say ambient mode doesn't stay off most of the time. I've verified that on the watch itself it says ambient mode is off. I think I narrowed it down to if the watch is turned up, ambient mode stays on, but when I tilt the watch down the screen completely turns off.
Kind of related also is I turn off tilt to activate in android wear settings, but it still turns the watch on, specifically when ambient mode off doesn't work and the phone is not facing up and turns off. I suppose this is normal behavior and the issue remains with ambient mode not staying off.
Anyone else?

This is normal. In ambient mode, the screen turns off after a short while. It seems a bit random. It's probably cos the battery wouldn't last throughout the day if it stayed on.
I personally find the ambient mode and tilt mode a bit annoying (especially when driving at night) so i just have them both switched off and tap the screen or button when i want to see the screen. The screen still lights up when an alert appears.

Android Wear -> Settings -> Moto 360 -> Uncheck Tilt to wake screen option
I couldn't really understand what is the issue. I am not able to receive any notification for incoming calls and the watch is not vibrating when I receive a message/other notifications.
Any help.
Android OS 5.1.1
I got it this is when the theater mode is on.
In this case, How can i disable the touch and shake hand to wake-up the screen.

Theater mode is supposed to be DND mode. So, the notifications may not comes. For shake hand to wake-up, go to Settings > Wrist gestures and turn it off. Unfortunately, touch to wake up will be still there. I really missed the double tap to wake up feature on my old SW2

Thanks. But I font think the Wrist Gesture setting has anything to do with shake (tilt) to wake up.

No, to just disable tilt to wake, you need to check that setting in the wear app on the phone.
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.
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 :

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.
