Dark Mode: Automatic Activation Does not Work for me

Viewpoint0232

I managed to get it fixed by changing the time a little bit, no idea why

Here's a screenshot of my config that isn't working:

It is using custom time but I am still getting a prompt about enabling the location setting as if that setting is being used
It was supposed to trigger @ 7:45pm but it is showing 8pm and the light mode is still on

My uneducated guess is that something is stuck w/ #1 which is breaking the ability for #2 to work.

The problem has re-appeared for me

Does the problem still exist upstream? I'm on the latest GOS build and still encountering this annoying bug; I'd be quite surprised if Google has let it persist in Pixels and AOSP for over a year!

hemlockiv Google's Pixel OS is not the same thing as AOSP. If Google's implementation of Dark Mode has diverged significantly from what's in AOSP -- perhaps the Google one uses "AI" -- then the AOSP code might be untouched indefinitely.

I have the same problem on Pixel 9a.
Dark theme is not being activated neither with sunrise/sunset nor with fixed schedule, while Night Light is working properly.

I found a workaround by creating a Night Mode that actually enables the Dark Theme with a fixed schedule, and it also works properly with Sleeping Mode without conflicts.

Allen your workaround is both easy on resources and non-invasive. Also very user-controllable.

Allen this is brilliant, thanks!
