Issues with ambient display

I enable ambient display feature on my nexus 6 as it doesn't have an awesome pulse light like nexus 5.
However if I enable this feature it includes both wake screen when pick up and notification comes. But I suffered the problem of wake screen when the phone is in my pocket.
When the phone is waking even the scree is locked, you can still touch the notification bar and do the settings. I suffered many times when the phone is in my pocket, but the flash light is on or put the phone in airplane mode. It's very annoying.
Can someone tell me how to disable notifications bar when the phone is locked or disable wake screen when pick up feature but not wake screen when notification comes.
Thanks.

If you put security on your lockscreen, you can't touch anything from ambient display without putting in your pattern, pin, or password.
I think there are some other apps that have similar functionality, that have more options. AcDsiplay, DynamicNotifications, and NoLED among many others. I am not saying these are good, as I haven't used them. Just saying there are some other apps that can probably give you more options if that is what you are looking for.
Otherwise, if you are a custom ROM person, I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes more settings for Ambient Display eventually.

Thanks, I will try those apps and see how is going.
Also, could I ask how to put security on lock screen? Thanks.

I did set it and use pattern as screen lock but I can still touch the notification bar.
Do I need to select password or pin?

[Q] 5.0.2 bugs

I searched around and didn't find these bugs listed. Please direct me to the correct thread if they are repeated -
1. Poweramp lockscreen - the Poweramp lockscreen does not unlock directly; it always unlocks to the phone lockscreen. Fiddling with Poweramp settings does not help.
2. Landscape mode - many times the device stays locked in landscape, even if the device is in portrait view.
3. Lockscreen - This is the worst and absolutely annoying. The 'swipe up to unlock', 'charging' on the lockscreen are so close together they practically intersect. Add 'owner's info' and woe betide you. How a basic thing like this can slip through the cracks is beyond me.
Any help will be appreciated.

To be polite i think you have a lot of lock screen control apps and a suggestion is that you uninstall such lockscreen apps and install them one by one and analyze which causes conflicts!

Don't have any lockscreen apps. Anybody on 5.0.2 will know what I'm talking about, hopefully.

I don't use poweramp, so I can't speak to that, but I haven't noticed any issue with rotation. As for your 3rd point, I'm not sure what the issue is. When my phone is charging, I see "Charging" displayed down near the lock icon, which changes to "Swipe up to Unlock" is you interact with screen. They don't display at the same time, and in either case they're not intersecting or unreasonably close to the lock icon. Owners info is displayed way up under the time, not near the bottom. I suppose someone might prefer a different look, but there's no functional issue or obvious aesthetic issue, so how is that a bug?

Poweramp is not 100% compatible with Lollipop yet. As for the screen rotation, i don't face this problem.

For me all of them - 'Charging', "Swipe up to Unlock" intersect. Weird, I know, but it's there.

Landscape mode
I am facing same problem of landscape mode.
most of the time my device turns into landscape mode though it should be portrait. For that reason i have turned off "Auto Rotation". I would be happy if moto fix this problem.

Lock screen notifications no longer displayed.

Hi everyone.
As the title implies, my P10 Lite no longer displays any notification information when the screen is locked, even though I have set the notification setting to show all content. The notifications DID work, but simply stopped working all of a sudden.
I have also Reset all settings, but the issue still persists. I have gone through all of my themes, lock screen types, but they simply will NOT show no matter what I do. Some app notifications don't even pulse the notification light. The device plays the notification sound, but nothing is displayed in the lock screen.....
Please help.. This is rather annoying

If i use a lockscreen from the Theme app that is not made by EMUI i dont get notifications. Are you sure the lockscreen is made by EMUI?

You need to set the 'screen lock style' to 'Magazine unlock' found under settings -> 'the Screen lock & passwords'

Hi guys, is there anyway I can have "always on" Samsung feature on my p10 without using any app like glance plus etc. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there isn't natively an always on display like on the s8 for the p10. The only option you have for an always on display is to use a third-party one like AcDisplay. (Correct me if I'm wrong though)
Edit: There is an option to let the screen never sleep during charging in developer options but I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for.

This finally solved my problem

After the update on my Huawei P10 Lite the notifications don't show on my lock screen. I tried everything - changed the theme (everyone I have), changed the settings and nothing. Every time I have to unlock my phone to see if I have some new notifications. Please help, it's really anoying.

Huawei P10 Lite notification doesnt show on lock screen after updating
Hi
Could you solve the problem with notification? I`m also struggling with that and dont know what to do,tried everything what was suggested.

Hello, I cant display the notification panel while my phone Its locked. After de update I could. Anyone knows what to do?

The problem with notifications on lock screen on huawei p10 lite i was able to solve on this way: As someone wrote earlier you need to go to 'Settings'-'the Screen lock & passwords' and set the 'screen lock style' to 'Magazine unlock'. Then go to 'Theme'-'Customize' and under 'Me' choose lock screen wallpaper that you want. The only problem that I have now after i've done all that is that notifications apear on my lock screen and make a sound but doesn't lite up. If anyone knows the solution to this problem please write.

the problem is that i dont like magazine unlock, is there another way?

Can anyone who has rooted emui 4 phone(probably Huawei/Honor) extract it's default theme so we can figure out how to make a theme with lock screen notification enabled

Is there a possibility to adjust the AOD?

I want to see the Whatsapp-Icon or similiar...
Any App/Modul from Playstore/Magisk/Xposed?
Thanks in Advance

Not yet. Seems like a pretty big fail if you ask me. Hopefully it comes in an EMUI update. Just set notifications to turn on the screen and enable the LED.

Yes, but it doesn't work (atleast on the P20 Pro)
:/

I've the P20 pro and although the option is there to enable the Always On Display, it doesn't work.
Unsure if other users have found that it doesn't work either?
Head over to Settings > Security & Priavcy > Screen lock & passwords > Always display information - In here there is a slider bar to enable it, and you can schedule all day or a set time period. Either way when I enable it the display doesn't show anything when the screen goes off.
There's other issues too with EMUI 8.1, such as the setting for turning the screen on when you lift the device up - that doesn't work.
Another is the double tap Volume Down button to take a photo, that doesn't work even though the setting is enabled in the camera app.
Another one is when using the Whatsapp call feature the screen goes off, yes this also happens on normal voice call, but unlike in a normal voice call where you can press the power on/off button to display the in call menu screen, in Whatsapp you cannot get the display back on. You are reliant on the person who you are talking to to end the call.
Other than that the device is immense.

Have to say that all of the things you mention work fine on my phone (although I don't have whatsapp so can't comment on that). however the AOD is next to useless - it only shows the time and battery level but no notifications! One of the reasons I bought a phone with an OLED display was for this feature, hope it gets an upgrade to something useful soon. For the time being I've paid for an app called 'Always on AMOLED', which works fine for the most part.

:/

Has there been any progress on this? I'm coming from an S7 and all notifications showed up on the AOD. Cannot understand why the P20 Pro (flagship!) only allows native apps to show notifications.

Anyone have any luck with 3rd Party A.O.D. apps on the P20 Pro to get it to work properly and stick without being killed? One my favorite and most recommended is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson but it is sporadic in functionality and staying "Always On" I am trying to use it on my Mate RS

I came from LG G5 (2016), and I can't believe that this feature is missing on the P20 Pro (2018) flagship. Are they insane?!
Any news about it, when might it be implemented?
I'm so pissed about it that it's unbelievable.

I agree! It's a pain in the ass. There are few features missing, but still very annoying.

Kill the Always On Display

How can I toggle the AOD to be completely off? This is driving me nuts. I'm aware of the settings within the Motion Sense area of settings. The "show when nearby" seems to take, however no matter what I do the clock still appears no matter what as an AOD. I've tried disabling the following in different combinations to no avail:
Motion Sense
com.google.oslo
Pixel Ambient Services
com.google.intelligence.sense
Motion Sense Bridge
com.google.android.apps.motionsense.bridge
Even tried the clock app itself
com.google.android.deskclock
Whenever these are initially disabled it seems to work for a minute or so but then the clock pops back up on the AOD. I just want the toggles to work! This is for when I'm driving and my my phone is mounted where it faces me. I already have 2 clocks in my car and don't need a third it's more of an annoyance than anything else.

Do you have Always On disabled in the Lock Screen settings?

Search for "always on" in settings and turn it off

display / lockscreen / always on - does not exist
Searching for "always on" yields no results.
I don't have a lock screen set as I don't need it, though I did try setting one temporarily to see if the option showed up, but nothing. That's how I used to do it on my note but they moved everything around on 10.

You really don't have always on under..settings/display/advanced/lock screen display....then scroll to the bottom??

Display, scroll all the way to the bottom, select lock screen display, bottom third of the screen you'll see Always on, toggle it off. You can still have it light up by tapping, lifting, or triggered by soli, in any combination if you wish.
edit.. Ninja'ed me Badge, it's there, he just missed it.

It's probably because you went around disabling apps. Enable the Pixel ambient Services.

With everything re-enabled and a hard reboot, I set a screen lock. Then went back to display and the "lockscreen" option was now available. I turned off AOD and then disabled the screen lock and it took. No more clock.
It seems as though the AOD toggle being buried in the lock screen options, which is only available when one is on will take no matter of a lock screen is set. So every time I want to change this I have to go through this process. I wish there was a Quick Settings shortcut for this.

Well it's not exactly meant to be toggled on and off often like the ones in the Quick Settings pulldown menu. The easiest and quickest way is just searching "Always on" in settings and you can actually toggle it right there as seen in the screenshot.

Also if you are not using the active edge for anything critical you might try button mapper by flar2 and see if one of the options can be set to it. Or maybe even on of the other options in his app will apply it.

I don't now and have never had a lock screen enabled on my phone and can and have always been able to enable or disable always on display. Unless you disabled some app affecting this as mentioned above it should be there for you too just as it is for the rest of us. You may want to look into that and see what's hanging you up.

I haven't been able to do it since it was virgin out of the box, the option just isn't there. Doing it on my old Note 8 was super easy it was right where it was supposed to be. Although I have found a workaround for anyone on the off chance I'm not the only one experiencing this.
Being rooted, I downloaded ShortcutMaster and used the app explorer and poked around until I found;
[Setup Wizard]
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard
tap and scroll down to;
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard.alwaysondisplay.AlwaysOnDisplayOptInActivity
Choosing [launch] triggers the screen from inital setup to toggle the AOD.
Set it as favorite, or Homescreen (on the paid version)
Launch Shortcut master each time to change it or use the homescreen icon shortcut.
The setting seems to take each time I've done it so far.
