Android 9 Dark Mode

Zadatta — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 20:55:51 GMT

So i've been reading about the new dark mode which should be in Android 9.

For some reason it's missing on the xz3. Is there a way to still turn this on? Or otherwise a way to get the sony developers to put it back in?

i want to use dark mode in xz3.

How to enable it for contacts? I only was able to use it for messages.
BTW In messages it is more like "grey mode", not pure black, what would be the best option, imho.

Unfortunately, there is no system-wide dark mode. Some individual apps can be set to dark background, but that's it.

I'm also waiting for this, especially with the OLED-screen it would save battery.

~~Bylo by dobré kdyby sony v dalších aktualizací dalo tmavi režim.~~

It would be good if Sony in the next updates gave the dark mode.

The is system wide under developers settings there's night mode opition and can be toggled on or off ,but it seems like even if you toggle it on or off makes no difference so why have the option but not surport the opition Google feeds stay white the should be grey if night mode on developers settings is on and quick settings should go white if it's set for off , the settings is there but not surported

Night mode and dark mode are worlds apart.

Dark mode needs no explanation.

Maybe it is interesting on an OLED screen to save power.

Night mode could do by renaming it to twilight mode.

Night mode filters the blue out of the white which makes the screen more yellowish and peacefull for the eyes.

I have night mode switched on all day.

Hello everyone, I apologize for the late reply!

Currently, Xperia devices running Android Pie do not support Dark mode. We cannot comment on plans to implement Dark mode in the future. However, individual third-party apps can still support Dark mode.

Note! Sony does not warrant or guarantee the performance of any third-party applications. Neither does Sony warrant or guarantee the performance of content downloaded or acquired in other ways through such applications. Similarly, Sony is not responsible for any damage or reduced performance of your device attributable to the transfer of third-party content.

I hope that answer your questions and I will of course forward all your feedback regarding this!

SONY!!! I have and still am a Sony fanboy, I own your ES Hi-Fi products from the 90s also all your game consoles MP3 players, TVS and Blu Ray's and always buy your phones each year. I love my XZ3 but for god sake please give me a full dark mode like One Plus can !! PLEASE

Hi @Father_Jack!

I'm really happy to hear that you have so many of our different products and I agree with you, a full dark mode would be great to have!

I'll will of course forward your feedback internally, but keep in mind that I can't promise that this will be added!

If you haven't already enabled it in the applications that supports, I would suggest doing so. Android Messages and YouTube should have dark mode that you can turn on.

Have a nice day!

Xz Premium G8141 user here, although the screen is not OLED I would also prefer system wide dark mode, as would everyone else, please grant our wish Sony 💙

Re: Android 9 Dark Mode

Jonas — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 06:16:46 GMT

Hi @Fixargeddon!

I think it would look pretty cool even on a device without an OLED display as it would bring a nice change and if you don't like it, you could always turn it off. I enjoy having the Android Messages application with the dark mode and also YouTube!

I'll make sure to forward your feedback as well and have an awesome day!

They don't care whatever users demanding in their devices, they always claim to be closest to stock android but missed the genuine potential of latest stock android,

Very very diplomatic policy 😕

Hi @-7777, sorry to hear that you feel this way.

User feedback is very valuable to us and me and my colleagues that answer questions here at our Support forum is very thankful for all the feedback that we receive and we do our best to forward it.

I'm not in a position where I can click a button and add certain features to our devices, trust me, I wish that was the case!

Please give us dark mode support at least if new launcher 9 can't possible for us due to any unknown illogical policy 😭😭😭 🙏🙏🙏

I wish sony add dark mode for Xperia 1 too

Re: Android 9 Dark Mode

Jonas — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 12:27:49 GMT

Hi @azzido2,

"Dark mode" is available in the Xperia 1 and can be found in Settings > Display > Advanced > Device theme, however it's not a global dark mode and will mostly change the colour to black in for example, quick settings and I guess that is what you really want!

I will of course forward your feedback about this as it would be pretty awesome to have it dark everywhere, especially on devices with an OLED display and it looks really cool in Messages, Keep, Calendar and the other Google's app that recently had this added (well not Messages but Keep and Calendar is recently, as far as I can remember).

Thanks!

I think dark mode is going to be very popular on all devices. Including this in Android Pie has been done not by mistake. So I'd suggest Sony to include this feature as well in the near future. I have an XZ3 Compact.
