Is it possible to turn the clock and date on "always on display" off? I quite like having the notifications icons there, but I don't like having the clock all the time there, It makes me look at the phone all the time for no reason... Until now all I've been able to find is turn the whole "always on display" option off , is it an all or nothing approach?
Not clear what you asking,the clock in not showing while always display on?

I want to disable it, I just want the "display on" feature to show me just the notifications, I don't need to see the time and date all the time....
Don't think this is possible, else always on will be only on with notifications. I'd like it better that way though. Also wish double tap so wake screen you could tap notifications ie WhatsApp rather than having to to unlock and then do them

Hi there.
I am using Honor 8 an drunninf EMUI 5 with Nougat.
On lockscreen, when the phone is idle and screen is off, and i get messages on chat apps like whats app and others, the screnn does not wake up. Can someone tell me how to turn this on.
There is the bug where there are no notifications like you say ..
If you can set it in the settings from the app you want like in the whatsapp settings
and if it then works - good... if not there is then no way to have it working..
Some of us discussed it in other thred and it is a bug
Install Screen Notifications from google play.
Or Floatify, or any other replacement "lockscreen". I use Floatify myself.
If you want to keep the stock lock screen (as 3rd party lockers tend to cause more bugs), just install Nils lock screen notifications. It overlays the notifications on the stock lock screen for the most seamless integration.
Without a 3rd party solution, this phone only allows lock screen notifications from the stock apps and some google apps.
Theres an option in the settings called "Notifications turn on screen"
Just search it in the setting's search bar and turn that option on.

Yes there is the option in settings but I think he has noticed that it does not work for all apps like most of us noticed
Thats why users recommend apps from playstore

Oh sorry bout that. Didint know some apps doesnt wake the phone up. Turned the wake up option month ago cos its draining my battery fast
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!

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.
Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?
and the screenshot is.................? kinda hard to help if we don't see what it is..
The only icon I can think of that resembles a stick figure is the SMART THINGS icon.

It;s a stick figure, like the stick figure that was coming up on peoples nav bar on 8's and 9's for accessibility settings
it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN THE PINK CIRCLE without the dots under it but its a icon by the clock
When you need a hug. Push this. That makes you more accessible.
here are screeenshots, I got it in action.
It has something to do with one of the apps I enabled in accessibility mode.
Anyway to stop the "check access settings" little guy notification from coming up

If you tap on the icon and bring up that app's notification settings, there may be an option to never notify for accessibility notifications.

What is the widget/notification app are you using for the battery and clock, and how did you get the refresh rate on the notification panel?

Thanks, no clue then. It must be one of the apps, maybe the Galaxy HZ app having access to screen as it shows the stick figure in the notification as well. Check the app in Accessibility settings and try disabling it.
Also, what is the other app with moon and glowing clock? (screenshot attached)..looks cool

Weather neon, TONS of customizations for it, from dozens of widgets of all sizes down to changing colors of every piece individually.
that's just the notification one I liked but there are a ton more, and a big main one with different clocks
it's worth checking out, some stuff is iffy with it tho

My stickfig has a purpose, I can dim the screen at night or brighten it up. The icon comes up when you slide out the 'stick'. You can park this feature anywhere, to enable go to 'visibility enhancements' >>'extra dim'(screenshot is from S22)
So I'm guessing you can disable your stick figure somewhere there as well.
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

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
Sorry, me again!
I'm working on the notifications, and how to get them coming through, I'm on MIUI 14 now. I've got the always on display set to 'on' and to show notifications. But they don't seem to be showing for some reason.

Probably not very useful for your case but on MIUI13 I have no problems with AOD notifications. everything appears there.
Have you enabled all the apps in Settings>Notifications and Control Centre>Lock Screen ?
I think they are connected with the AOD ones...

I popped out for a bit this morning, and Strangly, I had a missed call, and text notification waiting for me. Seems to take a bit of getting used to the notifications on this, some apps only notify when I open them, even if they're set to lock screen.

MIUI Battery optimizations...
You need to disable this for every app you need consistent notifications. Hold your finger on the app icon and then select App Info. Then scroll down until you see " Battery Saver" Change it to " No Restrictions" for all the apps you need. Also from that page, you can enable the Autostart option
