Screen not turning on for Notifications - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just updated to Lollipop but for some reason now the screen won't turn on when I receive notifications (msgs, whatsapp, emails etc.). It just vibrates and notification light flashes. Anyone have this issue?

This is not an issue. Lollipop's ambient display is enabled only for a handful of devices. We don't have it

Ok thanks found a way anyway.

Prevent screen wake up on notifications

Hi there!
I'm looking for an app that have the ability to prevent screen wake up when notifications arrive, but I also want the option to select which app that are allowed to wake the screen (like Hello or incoming call).
Does such app exist?

I tested this app, but the screen still turn on. I thought it was Light Flow that caused this behavior, so I deactivated it and rebooted the device. Same problem.

Check notification history? Deactivate?

if your device use 4.0+ android, then you go to settings, and manage apps, then click on aplication that you want to disable notification, and disable it. :/ I dont know any other way.

But if I disable notification for an app, it will not push the notification in any form.
Thanks anyways!
Is there a way to prevent screen from waking up for an incoming call while in pocket?
My phone's screen wakes up inside my pocket and registers touches inside and receives calls without me even knowing. This problem is getting out of hands. Already tried the app 'Gravity Screen' and the closest setting I could get to is, screen WILL wake for an incoming call whether the proximity sensor is covered or not (phone's in pocket or not) and will only turn off screen if I uncover the sensor and cover it again.
Please help, experts.
N.b.: my device of rooted so any rooted method will also be appreciated
TIA

Did you activate ambient display? It has to be set to turn on when a notification arrives.

I tested it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Threema and BlueMail. It works flawlessly, though I would appreciate an update to customize the duration of the light, other colors and that it will be pulsating, etc.
Maybe a restart is going to fix your problem? Or try to turn off ambient display completely - restart - turn it on again. I read that others cleared data and cache of the app ambient display, that could work as well.

Thanks bro, will give all those a try.
Strange but I dont see ambient display app even in system apps I cant find it.
Got it, still didnt help... guess factory reset is next.
Works for me also, too bad is only once. I hope a software update can add more options.
I would like the screen to blink every few seconds when I have notifications, maybe also different colors per app.
I was on chat with OP support because I have yet to see the horizon light turn on. I have tested notifications for various apps in a pitch black room with ambient display on, off, changing notification slider to all 3 positions, restarting the phone, hard resetting the phone (all the suggestions from OP support) and nothing fixed it. OP support asked me to film the issue and send to them so they could "isolate the root cause of the issue". FYI I am on OOS 9.5.3 in case that is a different. I feel like mine is defective since I have yet to see any sort of edge light up.

Mine is an unlocked version direct from OnePlus....
Don't be too upset. Horizon lighting is absolutely useless in it's current state. OnePlus needs to work on this.

It just sucks that things dont work out the box. Same thing happen with volte, I had to go to a developer menu to enable the volte toggle.

Hello, many thanks for your answer, it gives some hope here.
How can I proceed to get the needed update ?
EDIT : I have downloaded oxygen updater, I will figure out how to update without Breaking everything
Plus Beat works on 10.0.1 after those tweaks: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80336315&postcount=540

Screen doesn't wake up when notifications received?

When my phone is locked and the screen is off, notifications don't wake it up. The phone vibrates, the led lights up but the screen remains black. Does anyone have the same issue and know how to fix?
Thanks!

There should be a setting for allowing the Notifications to wake up the display. I think that is disabled on your ROM, so try looking for it and turning it ON.

You're right. I can't believe I spent so much time go through all the settings, even turn on Develop but have never noticed this option under Lock screen. Thanks!

Question [Question] Notifications not coming through

Notifications seem to only come through occasionally and some fail completely. Any solutions?

On which apps are we talking about?
On all apps but I think I worked it out. The battery optimisation on colour os is very aggressive and needs to be manually turned off for any app you want to receive realtime notifications from.
