See I'm in Western Europe too (UK) and I don't have any issues with mode switching either. Strange one that.

Which client version/platform are you using? There are threads dedicated to each platform under "Client".yrrabsille wrote:Anyone else having trouble with Auto mode? It doesn't always work.
Does anyone happen to know what criteria the client uses to determine this and how it can be fixed?

Probably. I could have sworn mine also turns around at 1800 though...fvwazing wrote:I think cherianchris is close to the equator, then it makes perfectly sense.
Exactly. In NY State, two hours after sunset I restarted the app and it finally came up in night mode.yrrabsille wrote:I'm using release 3.5.1.0 on an iPhone 4S
As an example, Yesterday I left Portsmouth, NH at 2pm. the Sun set around 4:30pm and by 5pm it was completely dark out. When I arrived in Times Square at 7pm, it was still displaying in Day mode. When I got there, I shut down the app completely (even from the background) and then fired it back up and it came up in Night mode. It's been doing this kind of thing since I first started using Waze (May 2011).
I won't say it NEVER switches, but it's a rare event.
The ambient light is not a good measure of whether you need a "day" or "night" mode. The ambient light in your automobile is going to change, depending on how close the car behind you has come, whether you are at a stop light, in city or country, etc.Mirarkitty wrote:...why doesn't it just use the light sensor?
