Help with camera apps - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i just got the moto G 3rd 2015 and i noticed 2 things:
first on the motorola camera i dont have night mode (all the reviews say that there's one)
second on applications like FV-5 the iso is locked and i can't setup some other options, is a restriction?

If i remember correctly it isn't called night mode in the settings but low light.

That's really strange, do you see that setting on the pull out setting ring?

Funny thing is that according to Motorola Customer service, the Moto G 2015 don't have Low light/Night mode >_>
also check out the FV-5 screen, ISO is locked :/

what phone model/Android build are you on?

23.31.33.osprey_reteu_2gb.reteu.en.EU retgb

Indian Handset

My version is 23.36.3.osprey_retus.retus.en.US and I definitely don't have night mode in my settings.

If you look in the general thread you'll see that someone in India is reporting that their phone is getting an ota update with stage fright patch that includes the night mode on the camera also. I guess that will make it to the U.S. eventually. My 8/1gb does not have this mode yet.

Mine is a month old. It has the night mode. Although I am from India, I haven't got any system updates.

capacitive buttons

Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?
They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

They do light up in low light conditions. Atleast they do on my HOS.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

There should be an app in the market or online called led hack to disable them

Don't think it's on the market these days? I have found a copy but need to be rooted - but thanks for suggestion. I'll root at some point but my One S may need to be returned as currently in discussions with HTC over mobile network reception.

Hidden LED

So, just like all the previous Moto phones, this one has a hidden LED too!
Using root and any kernel tweaker with an option to adjust leds, you can switch it on. It seems to be only white as far as I could tell but it's there! (In the middle of the speaker grill on top)

Waiting on some more people to try this but that's awesome! And I personally LOVE the LED position

Anyway to make it work with or without moto display, it would be sweet to have a notification LED on this phone
what is the hidden LED normally for on the other motos?

Usually to indicate the phone is charging when it gets plugged in from a completely dead state, before it even powers on the screen

I found the setting in trickster mod, but it only turns it on when charging. Will we be able to use it for notifications?
Assume that LiteFlow would work (paid version) as it does with Nexus 6. Give that a try.

I remember this app on og nexus from 2012. You think turning it into notification led would work ?

Hopefully LightFlow would work, I have enjoyed that app for years on my OG Droid.

It has for other Moto devices so I assume so. I'm not personally interested enough to pay for the app to find out though, sorry.

I guess one could buy it, try it real quick, and if it does not work, get a refund within the allotted time Google Play gives you.
How bright is the LED? It might not be useful because of the front flash unless it's a dim light. From the picture it seems bright though.

Not sure what the led and the front flash would have to do with each other?

The Flash is just an LED anyway, so there would just be a second LED on the front.

Missing in MM update?

So after updating to MM i noticed that
1. I can't turn off the camera sound
2. When mobile data is activated I can't see the small H or E etc anymore.
Whats up with that?
Maybe just the cleaner design of the new os ?
Maybe they turned on the camera sound default because in some countries it is actually illegal to have the camera shutter sound off !

Bike g? If you are taking about moto g, then few people have reported that the led turns on if the phone battery has completely died and the phone has been put on charge.

No its not there on stock 6.0
No big deal though, the white cord sticking out of its butt is a good enough indication in most cases

Night light messes with Adaptive display

Anyone notice that the display goes bright to dim and vise versa too often when using night light? Thanks.

I noticed this too the first couple days but I think it has settled down over time. What software version are you on?

The latest 8.1... Forgot to mention it is when Adaptive display is active.
*Doh* I did mention that in the subject ?
