Day / Night Colours

I am running a Go 55 Live with Navcore 9.101.516, OS 515773, Boot 5.5259 and am trying to get my device to change to night colours when dark and day colours when light automatically. the device did so before i changed the Navcore, any ideas please.

Many thanks

Set the emu to x50.

Many thanks, can you just remind me how to do it, is it through config in the text file?

Copy the attached file into the 550 root. Then Main menu, change preferences, brightness preferences, CHECK Switch to night colors when dark.

Many thanks, done and will try tonight.

Can confirm that this work on a XL device, many thanks!

When does it go back to very bright? How dim are you setting it? I use 10% night brightness.

Hi, as soon i put in say 5% brightness and press ok. when i am sliding it it goes dimmer, but as mentioned, when i press ok, it goes to full brightness.

Many thanks

it goes to full brightness. it refers to the slider or the screen or both? What time of day are you making the adjustment & this occurs?

Hi

at night time, at any time that i change it, it makes no difference, when completely dark rather than at dusk. it does automatically swap from day to night colours fine now.

Are you saying problem solved, or that day/night colors work, but brightness is still an issue?

Yeah, I know I'm posting an answer in an old topic still Google led me to this so I might as well post an answer for others struggling with this problem.

I found a solution for the almost instantly return to day colours when you choose night colours.
This happened a few times to me. This time it was a nice, old and bulky GO 700.

When selecting night colours from the change preference menu (so not the quick menu button) you'll receive some message like 'Night view connected to headlights'

However your docking option in the change preference is greyed out...
The answer lies in connecting it to TT Home and operate the device via TTH and going to the change preference menu on the TT Home computer screen and then you will be able to select the now not greyed out option Docking Options and to deselect 'Connect Night view to headlights'

I assume that this adjustment will be stored on some setting file and that you are likely to get the same effect if you select the option to return to factory settings.
Beware however that this will delete all your personal data like favorites, home address and recent adresses.

I don't recall having seen this issue before. Some units have a light sensor, that changes the unit from day to nite & back to day. Others are controlled by official sunset & sunrise. Some can be changed with voice command.
It all depends on the model, navcore & emu setting.
All of your personal data like favorites, home address and recent addresses are in the mapsettings.cfg file.
