Is there a way to make active/ambient display on S6 just like in the Moto X series which display a single clock and notifications every time a notification comes or you wave your hands close to it or take it out of the pocket?
As S6 habe that screen from the Clear View case, probably it should be easy to show the same screen in the active/ambient display ocasions.
The S6 has the option of waving your hands when it is laying flat to view your notifications.

AcDisplay is an app that mimics ambient display. Try that out.
Yeah, I know that the S6 has the option to wave your hands to show the screen, but it shows the full screen colored and everything, which would be bad battery-wise. Probably would be nice to just light up some pixels like the ambient display on Moto X as the S6 also have an AMOLED display.
I also know about AC Display, but it seems that adding it just adds another lockscreen in front of the default one and if you use it as your default lockscreen, it can't work with the fingerprint reader to unlock, is that correct?
It just doesn't seem too difficult to pop the same screen as the Clear View Case on waving the hands in front of the phone or when getting notifications. If it isn't possible to do it with the built-in software, they are missing a great opportunity here.

Don't have a Samsung galaxy S4 but want something similar to quick glance? A decent app to try is Proximity actions. Been using it a couple days on my Gnex and has proved to be very useful. I use it to unlock my phone without touching the phone by waving over the proximity sensor and it also opens notifications bar automatically (using open notifications app). You can set four commands for screen on and screen off actions each so it is pretty customizing.

Thanks for the tip, works well.
Howdy all,
Unless I am missing something. Can the messages scroll in the same orientation like the clock at night. Example if you have cnn streaming the words run along the main screen. I would have liked it run away from the main screen if I have the edge laying flat on a table and looking straight at it. Hope I explained it well enough lol.
Yes, kinda
If screen rotation is on, you can check the box for 180 degree rotation in the edge panel settings. This will rotate the edge panel correctly with the phone.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work without auto rotation on, which I don't like.
"Show notification icons on the Always On Display screen if a screen lock type has been set."
Why on earth is that specific requirement needed at the end? I want it activated during AOD even without using some type of lock screen.
Is there a way around this? I just want the small notifications to pop up underneath it.
AOD clearly works without having a screen lock.
I was wondering the same thing. I finally landed on using fingerprint to unlock just so that I could see notifications on AOD.
Has anyone found a way to turn off the fingerprint location while the AoD is on? I don't want it sitting there, I know where it is and one more burn in thing to worry about as I am not sure it moves at all.
I don't think you can while keeping the AOD, but yes I can confirm it does move around a little to prevent burn-in
I left AOD as it was on my S10e. If I tap the screen AOD shows for 10 sec and I did enable EDGE lighting too
Hi,
I see no option for the always on display which I thought was integral to miui 12. As such I see no notification icons or clock when the phone is idle. Can someone confirm if this is normal and if so how I can enable some sort of notification function so I can see what notification belongs to what without having to wake the phone? Many thanks
This phone screen is not AMOLED hence there is no always-on display. Lock screen shows notifications though.

Thanks. indeed; yes I read that.
Coming from the Mi9SE I'm used to seeing what notification is what, without having to pick up the phone. Incidentally my old Motorola had an IPS panel and that still managed to show me icons in daydream mode all be it in black and white. If all POCO X3 users get is a black screen, then I guess that is that, but it's a feature I really miss. Any recommendations with regards to app/workaround ?
I am missing motorola active display too
And android stock... I can't appreciate miui
No. display is not amoled.

No workaround for this. In order to light up a small part of the display needed for the AOD, the complete backlight has to turn on, which significantly drains the battery (as if the whole screen was on).
So the solution is to buy an AMOLED screened phone.
I did notice however that near the camera, in some apps it has a notch or a black bar that really seems to have the screen off
