This is a very strange problem I'm experiencing on my S3 (Verizon, 4.1.2 stock rom, rooted)
I have set up a pattern lock screen in my Security settings. When the display has been off for the 1 minute, the pattern lock screen protects the phone on the next wake. However, I also have a home screen widget (via Widgetsoid) to quickly enable/disable the Lock Screen. So for example, I turn off the lock screen when I'm driving or at home, and enable it when I'm in public. Normally this mechanism works just fine.
The problem is, when the lock screen is "Disabled", and I get a notification (such as incoming text), and I pull down my notification screen and then to click on the new notification, this immediately pops up my pattern lock screen. (even though it's supposed to be disabled).
This is not a problem specific Widgetsoid. There are other apps that also has the ability to toggle the lock screen (such as Tasker), and this behavior also happens when I use other means to temporarily disable the lock screen.
Note that this notification-triggers-lock behavior doesn't happen when the Lock Screen is enabled.
I have searched around for any thread that might show something related to this issue, but found nothing that matches the behavior I'm experiencing. Has anyone else experienced something like this, or have an idea of what might be going on here?
anyone?
So now that we have the new cm12 officially released i am having some issues with the new way notifications and the lock screen works.
To explain:
Whats annoying to me is that when i set my phone to vibrate only (so set sound profile to all) but with the settings to not show the messages on the lock screen, i cant see if i have any notifications at all.
The top notification bar will instead show my provider instead of the icons of lets say whatsapp.
Is there a way to change this?
Next to that have to admit that the priority thing is confusing to me,, i'm never sure what means what and what will actually happen with which setting.
The other issues is the lockscreen, i have a pattern protection setup, and waking the device up should bring me to this screen and not an extra useless lock screen where i have to swipe up so i can do my pattern.
I know its nice if you need quick access to an app like camera, but i dont want it.
anyway to change this?
i have no answer, but i also would like to change the way notifications appear on the lock screen.
i miss the icons in the notification bar. i don't want to see a large rectangle letting me know if there is a text or other notification.
the speed at which the pattern appears is cute the first time, but after that it's excruciating. would like it to just appear.
Is there a way to have the Ambient Display show notifications, but not the lock screen? I like seeing that there is a notification while the phone is laying there, but I hate having a long scroll of email and other things showing once I wake the phone.
Second, is there a way to adjust the lock screen time out? Seems to default to like 5 or six seconds. I would like to lengthen that by a bit, but don't see a setting.
Thanks!

You can turn off lock screen notifications in:
Settings - Security & location - Lock screen preferences-on the lock screen
I don't know how adjusting that setting affects Ambient display though. You should experiment with it.
There is no way to adjust screen timeout on the lockscreen or Ambient display.

Yeah, I shut off notification on the lock screen but it also turns off the notification icons on the ambient display. I like those on, just not the ones on the lock screen.

I guess the definitive answer is: No, you cannot have Ambient display notifications on and lock screen notifications off.

I tried to enable from Custom restrictions "Don't turn on the screen" and "Don't wake for notifications" with no luck. Is this a bug or bad user?

Always nice to answer to your own questions . Ambient display -> disable New Notifications. Oneplus logic escapes me.
Disable notifications
Go to the Settings app on android > Sound & Notifications > Scroll Down and App Notifications under notification section > Tap on App name installed on your mobile > Turn off the notification for the app.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I wanted just to disable wake screen for notifications not to disable notifications. Was a little confused initially since Oneplus seems to have two settings for the same thing. Got it in the end...
I have the same problem, but your solution does not work for me. As far as I can tell I have everything in ambient display turned off, but the screen still wakes up (to the normal lock screen). To confirm: THE TOGGLE SETTING "NEW NOTIFICATIONS" IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED, WHICH MEANS IT IS OFF. HOWEVER, THE SCREEN STILL WAKES UP.
In addition to that I even have "no notifications on lock screen" selected, which means my screen WAKES UP AND SHOWS NOTHING. It's distracting and useless at the same time. Very annoying.
I have now turned on "ambient display when I pick up the phone". This finally made my screen stop lighting up by itself, though of course now it does it when I pick it up. But at least it doesn't distract me while I'm working on my pc with my phone on the table.
I like my 7 Pro very much...and since this is my 2nd phone from OnePlus, I guess I am fairly satisfied with their implementation of Android Q. However, their way of setting up notifications is one of the worst things I have ever seen! It is convoluted, confusing, and counter intuitive.... not to mention just plain ridiculous. I hope they really get on the ball with the issue of notifications and their useless Horizon light very SOON because a cell phone without proper, accurate, notifications totally defeats the purpose of having a "portable" communications device.

I am having the same issue, how did you get the screen to stop waking up?
I'm trying to find a fix for this, as well. I have an app that wakes screen besides delivering the notification with/without sound. And now I realize I have another one. I also want to have those notifications on, but without waking my screen, just like most of the other apps' notifications. And this is not related to ambient display. In my case, I have stock Android, on a Pixel 3XL.
Thanks!

I need the same. Hate that anything other than myself can turn on the screen. Have had lots of annoying incidents due to this

Actually, there is a fix now, if you run Android 13. Under Apps->Special app access, there is a new option called 'Turn screen on'. I disallowed the annoying app and solved my issue.
I want to disable lock screen wake up for text messages and still no luck on S23. I went under special app access and disabled "Turn screen on" for the messages app (and others), and guess what? The screen still comes on when I get a text. HOLY ANNOYING.
You can turn Lock Screen Notifications completely off, but I dont want that. I want the audible notification to come in without turning the battery draining screen on, and when I tap the screen with my finger I want to see the app badge that tells me when app the notification came in on (signal, or messages, or fakebook, etc). If it's fakebook I may ignore it for example.

As I said in my post, I don't want to disable notifications, I want to disable lighting up the whole screen. The notification icon should show on the always on display without going full annoying brightness on the screen for 5 seconds. That's just dumb.

You might want to consider utilizing the Google Issue Tracker which is a tool used internally at Google to track bugs and feature requests during product development.
For Do Not Disturb - If you have the setting "Always show time and info" enabled (Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Always show time and info) your screen will display a dimly lit clock when the screen is locked, among some other status icons.
In the DND settings, if you check "Don't wake for notifications" and you get a new notification (text, ig, whatever the notification is), it will not show on the screen until you unlock the phone. It will just display that clock and you'll be unaware of the notification.
If you UNcheck "Don't wake for notifications", the lock screen with the large dimly lit clock will change to show the small icons for whatever the notification is.
If you do NOT have enabled the setting "Always show time and info" (Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Always show time and info), I imagine it would be the same behavior, except you would see a difference when you manually wake up (but don't unlock) your screen--you would either see that you got a text message or whatever the notification is, or you wouldn't until you fully unlock the screen.
I have tap to wake and lift to wake enabled on my pixel 7 pro. When I use either of these it goes directly to the lockscreen which I want. But sometimes the ambient screen displays instead which I don't want. I have aod etc disabled but it still sometimes shows up. Is it possible to disable it with a root permission? Thanks
I have lift to wake and have tap to wake disabled... also i have wake phone for notifications disabled, and show clock and info on lockscreen disabled and show all notifications on lockcreen disabled. So when i lift the phone, it will go to lockscreen before i do a face unlock and tap the phone again to go into the phone.
So when you have AOD, that means you have notifications showing up on your screen when you phone is not in use... or have the clock screensaver on as AOD or have show clock and info as AOD. So what do you mean? please explain.
I don't have tap because everytime i tap the phone when i need to, it wakes up the phone.

No, im saying I want this ambient screen turned off. If I tap or pick it up I want to see my lockscreen. Not the ambient screen which sometimes shows. At the moment it seems to randomly show from time to time and it really bugs me.
This is the screen that pops up instead of my lockscreen at times. How can I stop it showing? I just want the screen to be completely off or show my actual lockscreen when I wake it up
Settings > Display > Lock screen > Always show time and info OFF, Tap to check phone ON, Lift to check phone ON

These are the exact settings I have enabled and I still sometimes get the ambient display. I think I'll need to disable it through root if anyone knows the command to disable Ambient display
Mine does the same thing from time to time. Never found out why and I've looked everywhere. I don't even notice it anymore. I think it's just a minor visual bug that may or may not ever get resolved.

I think you might be right, surely theres a setting in the build prop or something that can be disabled? I don't use aod at all so even if I had to disable that I wouldn't mind at all
