I received my Geaar S3 Frontier yesterday, switching from an Android wear watch.
After playing around with the watch for several hours and testing many different watch faces I can't figur out how to display the yellow indicator for new notifications in ambient mode (AOD activated).
Do I really have to enter "active mode" to see if I have unread notifications?
Yes, you have.
In aod only static information, apart from the hour/date, can be shown. Battery cannot be showed also!

Same experience but reviving this topic just in case there is any new setting/workaround? Love to keep my phone with AOD on, Wake Up Gesture off (so that when i'm out dancing or just moving my hands around it doesn't turn on for no reason), but would love to just turn my wrist and see if there is a notification (ie. screen remains dim).
There's a difference between knowing that there is a notification and being able to read it's contents.
My watch settings:
AOD
Wake up gesture- off
Notification indicator- show on watch face
Sound and vibrate- on (wine cork sound is relatively unobtrusive)
My Gear Manager app settings:
Turn screen on- off (if this is on, notifications will automatically be readable on the screen)
Notification indicator- on
Auto show- off, I know there's a notification because it beeps but it doesn't activate screen so I can't read it.
Auto show- on, tapping on the screen will show message.
There's a lot of flexibility. A notification can be silent, trigger a sound, trigger a vibration, or trigger an indicator. The contents of the notification can be automatically displayed, displayed by a wrist gesture, displayed by a simple tap, or not displayed at all.

Hi,
I would like to make my phone's screen light up periodically when it's locked and I receive notifications.
My phone does not have a pulse notification LED and it does not have any other means of showing persistent alerts for notifications when the screen is locked.
I have sen many apps that replace the default lock screen and generally require a lot of permissions, change the lock screen design, wallpaper, unlocking method and mess up / complicate things unnecessarily in general.
What I had in mind is a very simple concept but I don't know if it exists or if it is possible, because it may consume too much battery or maybe Android just does not allow it.
I would like my regular lock screen (which already shows that I have notifications, by the way) to light up for ~1 second every ~1 minute until the notifications are dismissed when I have notifications. Ideally that would be customizable somewhere.
To save battery, if the front camera detects no light (i.e: the phone is in the pocket or turned down) then it would not light up the screen, assuming the camera does not consume more battery than this would.
Could someone help me find the closest thing to something like that?
Thanks.

That app is close to what I want, but if I understand it correctly, it turns on the screen when I receive a notification for a period of time, and then it turns off for good.
Ideally, it would do the same function as the notification LED: turn on and off repeatedly until the notifications are dismissed.
I'll give it a try though, and see what it does.
I have the wake up on gesture setting switched to on. When a notification comes in while driving and the screen turns of, usually when I turn the watch towards my face the notification has disappeared. Is there a way to make the notification longer visible on screen, even after the screen has turned off? It would be so handy if tilting my arm would make the incoming notification visible, even after a minute or so.
there's actually a bug right now(which Samsung refuses to talk about) that instantly dismisses notification pop-ups sometimes and marking them as read.
I had it just now while typing this, with not even 1 second between the notification coming in and me looking at the screen.
I suggest you report it, the more reports the more likely Samsung is going to look into fixing it.
Use bezel ?
Hi,
When the SMS is received (to the samsung message) *, the sound of the notification is played, the icon is displayed on the AoD, but it also lights up and displays the Lock Screen.
Everywhere I'm looking at setting this status (display and lighting Lock Screen) to turn off .. will anyone advise? (I would like the notification to be displayed on the AoD after receipt of the SMS but Lock Screen not activated)
In the album, the application's settings and notifications are currently on the AoD / Lock Screen https://imgur.com/a/2JQBpE6
Google Message works as expected (= Notifications will appear on AoD after receiving new SMS, but Lock Screen will not light up)
** all notifications behave as they do (do not wake the Lock Screen), only the new SMS Lock Screen will wake up

Hi, im new and hoping someone can help me!
I have the Pixel 3a which has the same ambient display as the main version and im not sure if a 3rd party app has knackered mine up and need confirmation.
When the phone receives a Messages or Gmail etc notification the ambient display lights up with an overview of the notification for a few seconds and includes quick action such as 'mark as read', 'reply' etc. If these are clicked what is the expected action of your phone? Does the ambient display remain on and allow you to type a reply within the ambient display or does it revert back to the normal lock screen for a second before either going through to the relevant app or THEN going back to the ambient display? I hope that makes sense.
Ive done a factory reset etc but restored app data and my mind tells me that before i downloaded the third party app that used the ambient display the quick actions were all contained within the ambient display.
Any help appreciated!!
The true ambient display (which shows the clock, date, current weather icon, temp, and app icons with current notifications) is static. If you double click on the screen, it takes you to what are are calling the quick action screen. This is brighter and in my opinion a regular screen and not the ambient display.
So I believe your phone is acting the exact same way my phone does.
EDIT - I just caught a gmail notification coming in and the ambient screen did show an option for "archive" and "reply" for about 5 seconds before going back to only displaying the app icons for apps with pending notification. It only displays for a very short period of time however. I've had the phone almost a week now and never noticed it until now. Could it be that you are simply missing it?
Hi,
I have been occuring a problem for a half year now or so. After a major update to new version of one UI (4.5) my on screen notifications are not working anymore. I can see only small red dot and need to swipe to see the noticifations.
I did follow bunch of instructions how to enable it back... paired and unpaired phone, got a new phone, try enable/disable all... Yet still same result: all I can get is only red dot (screen indicator) and then I need to wake up the display and swipe to read notifications.
My setting in galaxy wear app for notifications:
show notificitations even when using phone
notificitaion indicator ON
read notifications aloud OFF
show details ON
turn on display ON
allow for new apps ON
Is there any way to enable again something like "wake up display upon receiving new notification and show it on screen"? Or any idea why is it not working anymore? Could it be watch face problem?
thanks.
I just found out recently that after switch to ring mode from vibration mode it started displaying messages again. Please check and confirm if its the same or i tinkered something else....
