Pixel 2 XL Ambient Display with AA?? - Android Auto General

I was wondering if their was a "hack" to have the ambient display active on my Pixel 2 XL. I know its the way AA works to keep the screen off etc but I get a lot of notifications that don't show up on my AA display and when I'm stopped I don't want to always unlock the phone every time to see my notifications.
Thanks!

Any way to receive notifications when screen on?

Hi,
I'm often using my Note 3 as multifunction car device - camera recording, bluetooth music streaming, recording GPS track and running navigation - all at the same time while the screen is on... Problem is, when I get a text or mail, I don't get notification on Gear - because my Note 3 is having screen on. Is there any way to change it? I want to see navi app on Note 3 and get my notifications on my wrist...
Perhaps a fake "screen off" process?

I don't think so.

Google Home Hub Issues

Got the new Home Hub. Already have two issues. I'm curious if others have found a solution:
1. The screen get TOO dark at night. Even though I have the screen timout setting turned off, and the Auto-Brightness Offset setting to max brightness, the screen still shuts (almost) completely off in a dark room. At night, when your eyes have adjusted to the dark, you can still only BARELY see the white numbers of the clock against the black background. People were worried that it wouldn't get dark enough for nightstand use, but this is ridiculous. Any way to brighten that up a bit? By the way, this happens even if I turn ambient brightness off.
2. The main purpose of this device will be as a bedside alarm clock (replacing my aging Nexus 7). I've figured out how to set alarms, but not how to change the alarm sound. I do not like the default tune it plays. Any way to change that? I know I can have it play music, but I do actually prefer an alarm sound -- just not the default one.
Anybody have similar issues? Any other issues that I haven't noticed yet?
Yes. Exact same experience. I'm honestly pretty confused by the settings and the language of which mode is what. The offset doesn't seem to do anything at all for me.
I haven't had that experience with screen brightness. When I turn off the Adaptive feature, the brightness doesn't seem to adapt.
I can confirm that you cannot currently change the alarm sound, though I think I saw that option is coming this month or next.
Go into the Display settings for your Home Hub and set the minimum brightness from dim to bright. This makes the numbers much easier to read at night when in dark mode.

Ambient Display issue

Hey today I noticed that my ambient display backlight is very bright. Can anyone say how to decrease the backlight brightness of ambient display. My phone is Nokia 7 plus TA-1046 and running on Android pie December update.
It's most probably the problem with novatek-v07 display. Check it in about phone. There are some threads here that are dedicated to this issue.

All known issues and solutions

1. Ghost touches
Problem:
Random ghost touched when using nfc or when nfc is on (on versions after 9.5.1)
Solution:
Turn off nfc, turn on only when needed
2. Echo during phone calls
Problem:
During phone calls people (on the other end) hear echo of our voice
Solution:
Turn volume down by at least 1 step. Microphone positioned on top of the device can capture speaker output.
3. Double tap to wake not working
Problem:
Phone won't wake up when using double tap
Solution:
Calibrate proximity sensor.

Issue only happens when ambient display / single touch / wake up screen with incoming notifications are enabled.
Current fix would be disabling ambient display and using double tap to wake up from quick gesture settings instead.

If i missed anything please leave a comment, thanks
My RCS is broken. Also have issues with the echoing but will try the fix you posted.
Only random thing I've noticed is Bluetooth calls suck badly yet the audio it's crystal clear. Tried a few car radios and also headsets and it's only calls. Take it off Bluetooth and it's crystal clear on the phone or phone speakers. It's actually driving me nuts

My 7 Pro sometimes rotate on the lockscreen, and then it's giving me this look.
Also, when I receive a notification, I only get a very tiny and quick vibration, even though I turned on the Strong vibration for notifications in settings.
Anyone else noticed that?
Google DUO
Either freezes or is Laggy AF all other video apps work so may be a Google issue but before it was flawless on my Pixel 3XL
Fix for
4. Blank screen. Missing icons when unlocking.

What about this? In support and troubleshooting page in oneplus community we have to apply for after sales service.

Does your usage differ from a regular smartphone user, like using custom launcher or any mods or developer settings?
Never heard of lockscreen rotation bug, but i read about ambient notifications being very fast, too quick to notice. As it turned out, animation scaling/speed in developer settings were changed to 0.5/veryfast, maybe they're connected with length of vibration in some way?

Thanks! Main post updated
Edit:
Added new solution to problems with ambient display - some people turn off/modify animations speed in developer settings.
I was having the screen blank after unlocking issue and followed your advice and issue gone.
Thanks!!!
I'm getting black crush on dark scenes on YouTube and netflix
Just an FYI, the solution you listed for Problem 3 no longer works. After upgrading to OS 9.5.8 the proximity sensor can't be calibrated using the method in your linked thread.

Guys i have a strange things with the virtual buttons (when you can see the buttons on the screen) It is not OnePlus related, my wife Samsung S9+ with Android P do the same problem that is why i think this is an Android P feature or bug or i dont't know, but would like to switch it off
So.
Try to do the next: Open the settings, go to any sub-menu. Press the back button but swipe it when pressing. What happens? Nothing. The button is flashing so the system is recognished your touch. If you press the back, menu or home buttons while swipe just a little bit, the function of the key doesn't work. Just if press and release it immediately without any left or right moving. Of course it happened under all apps like Chrome.... I used to press the back button with swipe because my fingers used this method and on my OP3T phone has phishical buttons so the swipe wasn't a problem. But now it is hard to just press and release.
So anybody has any idea where or how can i switch this gestures off? Of course i didn't found any setup options in the setup/buttons/gestures part
Thanks

Another greenish tint/hue screen, ambient EQ to blame?

Can anyone provide a picture of 2 phones or the same phone with separate pics actually showing ambient EQ doing it's thing? I tried having it on and off for long periods of time and I've noticed what seems like no difference in color temperature. I just got this XL off swappa a few weeks ago and I came from the 2 XL which has a totally different color experience. I like the color and temp on the 2 XL over this 4 XL but what's boggling my mind is the settings and if they are what is causing the issues! I've read that a ton of people are having issues with this greenish tint/hue at lower brightness and it seems as though this phone has the problem as well. It's killing me as the screen always looks like I have a low level of night mode on, it's super warm and will turn grays to greenish hues at lower brightness. I wonder if ambient EQ that is supposed to be dynamically adjusting screen temp and colors based on ambient light is just basically broken and THAT is what is causing so many issues with the color temp and washed out vibrancy. I've tried all the suggested settings about forcing 90Hz, AOD, etc etc but nothing seems to change this. Infact 90Hz just being on in the normal display settings makes it worse. I did a split screen with settings and chrome on this website (I have dark theme enabled) and toggled smooth display and I can see it get MORE greenish when on so I've turned it off for now. Anyone else think that ambient EQ might be the root of the issues? By the way, I factory reset this phone like 4 times already when I first got it thinking that might help but it has not. Thoughts??
Blame samsung. Oneplus 7t which also has 90hz refresh rate suffers the same issue
