AOD works unreliably since recent security update - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Just got the TMobile April security update. I have my AOD set to tap to show, but it is not working anymore on any sort of reliable basis. In fact, even with it set to be always on, it doesn't always show up when I pick up the phone. Any ideas? I've tried resetting the app and reassigning the settings but it's not working.

Are you using power saving mode? If so have you unchecked the Option to disable AOD.

Nope. No power saving here.

[Q]moto x screen won't shutoff after notification

So I have active display on and no other options checked to keep my screen on for any reason yet whenever I receive a notification (only while on charge does this occur) my lock screen shows up instead of active display and it doesn't shut itself off. This doesn't seem like that big of an issue until I wake up and my phone is 125°F. Any remedies for this?

Sounds like maybe you should consider a factory reset, and if that doesn't fix the issue, a full SBF back to stock.
I cannot think of any setting that would cause this, unless you want to provide more details on what if any modifications you have made. Let us know what you do/decide...
Is it possible you have "Stay awake while charging" enabled in Developer settings?
I'm on 4.4.2 rooted with jcases pie exploit only thing I have done is gravity box. I double checked to make sure and I didn't have the screen always on activated.

Do not disturb

Hey guys. Loving my note 8. I do have an issue. When watching videos, I lose sound. I discovered that the do not disturb button is enabled. I disable it and hours later it activates itself, without any input. If anyone has had the same issue, let's talk.

You don't by chance have the Do not disturb option "Turn on as scheduled" activated in your settings do you?
This is happening to me as well, in the afternoons the 'DO NOT DISTURB' 'Enable now' setting is automatically turned on
My 'Enable as schedule' setting is turned off.
I have also noticed my DND randomly turns on, and then it takes me several times of attempting to turn it off before it will finally stay off. This sometimes happens several times a day. I do have a schedule in place, but my settings within that also fall out - such as allowing alarms or my favorites. The alarm option will stay stuck in the off position until I end up having to restart the phone. Once the phone restarts then I can make the changes I want, but not sure why I have to keep doing this. My fear is that this setting will switch while I'm sleeping causing an alarm to not go off or I'll miss an emergency call. I could just not use this feature, but I really like it and wish it would work correctly. I never had this issue on my S7
I am having the same problem after the most recent update. DND turns on all by itself every afternoon.
I tried using the schedule figuring it might force it to do what I WANT it to do, to no avail. It still automatically turns on every afternoon?
This issue even happens in Safe Mode

[Q] I Need Help With Lockscreen Notifications

So after many years with iPhone I decided to jump back to Android this year with a Galaxy Note 8 and I need some help.
No matter what I try I can't seem to get lockscreen notifications to turn the screen on so that I can see them. I hear the notification sound but unless I manually turn the screen on nothing happens.
I've checked and rechecked all the settings both within apps and in phone settings but still no joy.
I have my iPhone and the Note 8 side by side on my desk and the iPhone lights up each time I get a notification but my Note 8 just plays the notification sound I set for a particular app.
Is this something that just isn't possible? Or should I be seeing the screen light up when notifications come in?
Thanks!!

Do you have AOD turned on? I don't use it so not sure if that's it or not.

I didn't but I just turned it on to see if that changes anything. And just to be very clear, the notifications are there it's just that the screen doesn't come on for me to see them.
On mine they come on the screen automatically. And I can read them there.....but for me the issue I don't how to control how long the screen stay on.
I noticed stay on for about 1 minute and then ont AOD display comes back. Not sure where in the settings I can change how long they stay on.
My regular screen time out is set to 15 seconds. So that's not what it's going by.
Meanwhile I've found two apps which can change things "Glimpse Notifcations" which is free and has forum here at XDA and also Nils which are very good.
BUt I'd rather not use an app....
For OP, notifications settings are found in many different places. Make sure you turn them on all of them...and in advanced you can even point which notificatons show contents.

Make sure you click in the middle of the setting line subject to access more options...
Meaning Settins, > Lock screen and Security > Notifications....Do not just toggle this setting ON on this screen.... please touch on Notificatons title to access sub menu... where you have now more options..... ON , Hide Cotent..., Icons Only and All Apps and the list of apps...
Now make sure there you have Hide Conntent to OFF. and Notification ICon Only OFF......
Let me know if you find the way to make Notification stay longer on the lock screen then the 1 minute default I"m experiencing

Notifications turn on screen

I have been searching looking for way to make this work with no solution.
I have disabled AOD since it is consuming battery heavily and wanted notifications to behave as on stock android where they turn screen on. My note 8 is receiving notifications and LED turns on, but screen doesn't. I have to manually turn it on to be able to see the lockscreen notification.
Is there any way to make this work?

Facing same issue.

I use "Dynamic Notifications". It lights up notifications when screen is locked. There's a certain amount of customisation, including screen on time. Used it on many of my phones including Note 8.
Wait.. You want the screen to turn on for every notification?
I hate that... Some apps even ignore the settings either way.

Same here, that would drive me nuts if the screen turned on for every notification. It's bad enough the screen turns on everytime the phone is plugged in/unplugged from USB or from a wireless charger.
Shouren, you can try snoozy charger app to manage the plug/unplug screen on issue

Thanks. The rom I'm using is actually supposed to have that disabled but I don't think it works for wireless charging, only cable. I never never charge with the cable anymore. But whatever, I prefer not to install apps just to disable one minor thing.
I understand you, I also prefer wireless, but, it works with wireless too
There must be a build prop tweak or something but I can't seem to find one right now.
Maybe a PM to a nice dev and they could tell you where to look. Report for community if you figure it out

Not receiving notifications when connected via Android Auto?

After the November security update is anyone else not receiving notifications while your phone is connected via USB to Android Auto?
I have completely unrooted and locked my phone, and tried a couple resets. The notifications show up after disconnecting the phone.
Anybody else experiencing this or have a solution?

Check your Do Not Disturb settings. I think by default it turns on notification with Android Auto.

I just disabled any Behavior under Car settings in the Android Auto app, next time I'm in the car I will have to see if that did anything.
But I don't have any schedules or anything set to turn on DND automatically.

Check when you are connected to the vehicle in your do not disturb settings, it wont show there until you are connected.
When connected, swipe down for the quick settings shade, your DND should be active, long press it to go to its settings and then disable it.
