will the dock be arriving soon?
Also, look at daydream in display settings.

For a phone that ships with a dock that is specifically designed for the phone to slide in horizontally, you would think they would take a few hours and design a lockscreen that can be used while docked. I mean they did it for the launcher and pretty much the whole OS (not while in landcape mind you, but specifically for use in dock mode), and that must be much harder both programmatically and design-wise. So why is there no dock-mode lockscreen? Honestly this truly baffles me.
Xperia Z did the same, and that also shipped with a dock. When are they going to learn that we do not want to look at our lockscreens sideways when docked?
For the record CyanogenMod doesn't do this, it has a dock-mode for both launcher and lockscreen.
amen!

i agree since i use the MHL link on my Z1 w/my 24" LCD and hate how the main home screen is portrait even when connected via MHL. however as a workaround, i bought the app called "Rotate" for about $2 and well worth it! lets me rotate homescreen adn lockscreen and do per app if wanted. just trying to figure out how to get the TV Launcher to flip since i have my MHL plugged in and in turn phone is upside down even though output to TV is fine.
Actually, there is a lock screen in landscape mode. It is just not used for some reason.
To see it briefly, you can start the camera without unlocking the phone (from the lock screen or with the hardware button). Then, touch the small image of existing picture to go to the gallery mode. Now, the phone is locked and will display the lock screen before going to the image gallery. Since it is on the landscape mode, you will briefly see the lock screen and can even manage to type a digit or two if you are fast enough. Unfortunately, then it changes to the usual portrait mode no matter what.
So they actually implemented the screen but are not using it. Can't see the logic of that, really.
I just got the Aukey Luna Qi charger. While it has first party app to show a clock or photos while charging, I would really like the Ambient Display to show while charging. Is there some way to set this up?

It should show up when you get a notification. ... or are you asking for a "daydream" that looks the same as ambient display?

Right, the Ambient Display B&W screen as a Daydream that would show the clock and notifications and do the smooth, native interaction with the notifications.
There's nothing built in... Perhaps someone will write an app for it.

Hello all. I haven't gotten this phone yet, but I probably will in the next few weeks. A question I have is what does the music on the lockscreen look like? I can't really find any recent information. All I have found was pictures of leaked builds with just a little badge on the lockscreen with music controls. Is that still how it is with the full release of Lollipop? If anyone can post a picture of Google Play Music playing while on the lockscreen I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi! If you have activated Active Display (Moto Display) you wont have any music control in the lockscreen...yes I know, it is ridiculos, maybe Motorola fixes this soon. If you have Ambient Display (Lollipop version of Moto Display) you have the controls like the lockscreen widgets you have in Kit Kat. Sorry I don't post a picture but I use Moto Display (because the performance, battery wise, is 1000 better than Ambient Display).

Is that a thing? Lol ridiculous indeed, it is not nice to kill stock features in favor of your own's like that, Moto.
Technically active display isn't the lock screen. The lockscreen is the lock screen. With music playing you get a "card" under the time on the lock screen. I'll set if I can find a pic
Here you go.

Wow that is ugly. So we have to do an extra step to go back a song by swiping down? I don't like that. And I am assuming if you turn off lockscreen notifications then you won't have any control over your music on the lockscreen.....
Correct.

Actually, it just uses the music app own notification widget, not the generic controls Kit Kat used. I use Poweramp, so look at the attached image.
I prefer this way. It's simple, yet customizable.
So there's still no way to control players through moto display? Not even with root?
I hope someone will fix this issue lollipop has with respect to the lockscreen music controls.
If you are a music lover then kittkat suits you better then lollipop for now.
The Google Home Hub is interesting..
At night it has a clock that you cannot even set in ambient mode which is crazy! I like the night clock better than the digital clock.
Aside from that, there is a view that shows the time, date, temp, weather and either agenda or commute. I wish I could default to this screen. Does anyone know if this is actually generated on the device or is this a URL based screen I could cast to a Chromecast?
Would also be awesome if you could "hub" an old tablet.
Thanks!
Hi,
I currently have a Pixel but am considering getting an S10. One of the features I love on the Pixel is the clock app’s screensaver-it means I can prop my phone up by the side of my bed and have a dim display showing just the clock. Does the S10 have anything similar please? Thanks!
I have an non-rooted S10e (SM-G970U). The screensaver settings unfortunately do not offer a clock option - only photos or colors. It's too bad Samsung doesn't have this option. I used it as you described on other phones and loved it. Now I use AOD as a substitute but , of course, it's "Always On" - not just at night when charging.
You setup the always on display to only trigger at night, it'll do the job pretty well if you're looking for a nightstand option. The always on display comes with various clock faces so I'm sure it won't be very difficult to find the right fit. If you can't from the stock ones you could always download good lock for extra clockfaces
Or you could just download any clock style screensaver which will do exactly what you're looking for. Display a clock when the phone is on charge and you let the screen go off on it's own. It's been in Android phones for years. S10 comes with a few built in screensavers.
AOD is the best option though. Minimal battery use.
