Night mode xparia Z5 android 7.0

Richardd — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 10:31:56 GMT

I would like to know how to activate the night mode on my xperia Z5. I've tried already multiple things but nothing seems to work out. When I look into the System-UI-tuner it isn't availible and also when I use the Night mode enabler wich is downloadable from google play it doesn't do what it supposed to do.

Does anyone know if it's even possible on the xperia Z5? And if so how to activate?

Pull down the notification bar (twice) > press and hold the gear icon for 5 seconds > it should spin then download night mode enabler

Thanks for replying.

@uliwooly. It didn't work out at once but it seemed that I just had to wait until noon before it became visible...

@akashv. The gear wheel ⚙ is in the right upper corner when you pulled down the menu twice.

I had the same problem. It is possible that you have to add the icon manually. To do so pull down the notification bar (twice) again and hit edit in the bottom right corner.

If that doesn't work out, You just have to wait until it automatically switches on the for the first time during the evening. After that the option will remain visible.

It's working on my Z5 with Android 7.0. Are you sure you installed the latest update already. Because it is impossible when you have an earlier version of Android.

To check your version "settings > about phone > android version".

Hey the solution to this is quite simple. Google actually implemented night mode into all Nougat devices but for some reason took it out of the final build (Not Sony's fault) but left all the code for it. To re-enable stock or native night mode the steps are below.

1) Do what the other guy said and hold down the gear icon in the top right of the notification bar, once a little wrench appears next to it and System UI Tuner is enabled then continue onto the next step.

2) Download the app "Night Mode Enabler" from the Google Play Store and once the app is open then follow it through till you get to the System UI Tuner.

Link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.michaelevans.nightmodeenabler

3) Uninstall the app from above and add night mode to you quick settings tray in the notifications bar and enjoy.

Proof of Night Mode and my phone information.

If you need any help, feel free to ask!

It does not work on Android 7.1 and up, google completly removed it. You sadly have to use a 3rd party app until Android O releases

Read this article, it explains everything: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/10/21/night-mode-enabler-apps-no-longer-work-android-7-1/

Go to the System UI Tuner menu which is located at the very bottom of the settings page above the About Phone tab.

Open it and post a screenshot.

At the end of the article it says that night light (new name for night mode) will only be available for specific hardware. Do you know if the Z5 has that specific hardware?
