[Q] Leds only works with screen locked

Hi.
When I configure an app in the led settings of my opo the led only works if the screen is locked.
But, for example, if I connect the charger the led is always on, with the screen unlocked too.
I also try lightflow but it's the same.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!

They made it like that, other manufacturers set up their LED notification light like that too. It's frustrating.

Nexus 6 Active Display?

What are the chances of the Nexus 6 having the active display like the Moto X?

Id say Zero, that's a Motorola-Only feature.
Also, Leaked images show the display is LCD, not AMOLED.

I'm not sure, I'm still holding out hope for a super amoled

Isn't the Nexus line bare bone stock

Bare bones? Nope. Stock Nexus is Android with a Google skin.

Yes and no. AOSP is bare bones. Stock has a little more Google over and above gapps, but not a great deal
Features from moto and lg that we don't get are proprietary software with hardware dependencies too, so no we won't get them on the nexus X

Fortunately there are many 3rd party options from the Play Store such as:
DynamicNotifications
AcDisplay
Active Display
Keep in mind only OLED panels can disable individual pixels. Other LCDs require the full screen to be on or off at all times so these could cause considerable battery drain.

Franco isn't the dev of Peek app but a colombian guy. The app content has been transfered to this guy BTW and the original app is just an unlocker tool now.

Looks like PA (moreso, ROMs based off it, or ones that cherry-picked built-in Peek) need to update the code that disables built-in Peek when the app is installed, to reflect the new package name (rather than the unlocker). lol

So the real question would be what are the chances of active display being included in L? which there havent been any signs of it in the preview build so again not looking good.

None. ActiveDisplay is a proprietary Motorola software. Google very rarely have added alternatives to complex proprietary functions. It's not completely unheard of (quick tiles for example) but for something that has a hardware limitation and dependency, no way

Even if they did (which they won't because that's owned by Motorola) it would be restricted to OLED screens only. Only OLED screen phones have ever had such functionality built in, such as the Moto X and certain Nokia Windows Phones with Glance support.
What's wrong with using one of the many 3rd party options?

I used DynamicNotifications on my Nexus 5 over 6 months ago. It was buggy and quirky.
My phone would get hot in my pocket and I pulled it out to see whats going on. DynamicNotifications was turning my screen on and off repeatedly for some reason. I don't know how Motorola handles the phone lock but DynamicNotifications' way of locking the phone isn't secure. If I disable the system's security lock and enable DN's, it could be bypassed by turning off the phone and turning back it. It isn't as bullet proof as the system's.

You probably set it up wrong.
The Peek app and AcDisplay worked fine for me when I tested them.

Did you try any of the other options? I listed a couple but there are many more.

I have not tried the other two options. They were not feature complete at the time.
Right now, I am using Gravity Screen which does everything I need, except for the "breathing" notification.

Nougat update is out. Find any differences?

I saw myself 3 mobiles getting an update today.
I've updated my phone today as soon as I received the notification.
Details about update -Android version 7.0, Build: NPJ25.93-11.
List of BIG changes that I observed:
1. Boot animation - It is completely revamped and now says "Hello Moto" with an iconic voice every time you boot up the phone. Just found out that it can be turned off in Settings>Sounds.
2. Internal memory pumped up - This is a big surprise for me. My available free memory was 7.3 GB before the update and now it is 8.22 GB. It is a very good thing.
3. Battery backup seems to be improved. This is my one day observation and still needs more observation of course.
4. A special Moto action is added called Swipe to shrink screen. (meh!)
5. Fingerprint sensor can now lock the device. Power button is safe forever. Unregistered fingers can also put phone to sleep.
6. Toggle WiFi, BT, Data etc. in one tap if you pull down notification bar once else if you pull down twice you get to choose from a list of devices.
7. Device temperature is now nominal while charging.
8. I don't see network related settings like 2G, 3G, 4G selection per SIM. It is all grayed out. I think it will choose the n/w on its own.
All other N features (split screen, notification in-line-reply, better recent apps preview, etc) are known. So there is nothing special to say about that.
Cons inherited from Marshmallow:
*** Hidden LED is still kept hidden. What a waste!
*** Although device is locked you can still swipe down notification bar and toggle all the important and sensitive controls like WiFi, Location, Bluetooth, Data, Airplane mode. This is really an insecure feature.
I'll keep updating this as I go on finding something new.
Other changes are mentioned in changelog on Moto website.
P.s: Go for the update.

You should get the update according to sources. Maybe you will have to wait for a while.
Well if you don't get it you can always downgrade to 6.0 to start over.

Plus Beat alternative

I came from one plus 6T and I think that best way to deal with no LED notifications was app called Plus Beat. It activate stock ambient display according to predefined time interval. Sadly it's no working on 7 Pro anymore. Anyone is aware of good alternative for that kind of app?

Hello
I also come from the 6T and I have installed it in my 7 Pro.
I think it worked better in the 6T, but I do not notice that goes wrong in the 7 Pro.
The only thing that ever worked for me is the option of DND profiles. When I set it up and activate it, I get into the app and the Option Enable Plus Beat It's off.
Anyone know how to fix it?

There's another app. It's called "Always on Edge". Works fine for me.

Tried Pixel Pulse today and doesn't seem to work either. Notifications come in, however they do not reappear again(pulse). Tried Always on Edge and Pulse Beat neither of them pulse, which is weird because Beat Pulse worked perfect for a day. Battery optimization was off for these apps.

It's really strange, some reports pixel puls working other they it's not working.. So far pixel pulse working flawlessly for me. It repeat pulse until notification it's dismissed. I try some edge but didn't like it. I prefer apps that use native ambient display rather than screen overlay..like aos edge or any led screen app

This may be a very dumb question but is there a way to dismiss notifications from the actual notification screen (I believe this is the ambient screen)?
The only way I've been able to dismiss notifications is to go into the lock screen and swipe away the notification.

I'm using Pixel Pulse (free version) on the OP7P Global US variant GM1917 OOS 9.5.4 rooted. I do have notifications to repeat every 20 seconds.

Disappoint

3 apdates and still the double tab to wake don't work as aspected. If you don't want to gumball by a Samsung!!!

I've noticed that too, and honestly didn't give much thought. I thing I've noticed lately, is the camera auto focus. The app will almost crash when I move around. It'll lag trying to refocus. Sadly the phone isn't living up to the high standards that OP has been pushing.

Really? Oh boy, you'll be in for a surprise then.
Ask oneplus 5/5T/6/6T owners how they feel about it.
Still, to this day, it fails once per day or so. Not sure how bad is it on OP7, but still fails on my OP6 to this day.

I think double tab doesn't work as reliable as previous update.

I'll vouch for this too. The double tap to wake just doesn't work reliably. For that matter neither do the gestures. Disappointing because that's one of my favorite features of OOS.
