Is it normal in Lollipop that when the notifications pop up on the Lockscreen and the screen turns on that the screen is very dim (hard to see anything) and then brightens up when you touch the screen?
I just wanna see if that's normal or if it's happening because of some apps like LUX which I have running.
I forget where the press back to kill app setting is., anyone remember?

Mine is doing the same. I've tried with and without LUX. I like the concept, but it is very dim. I'm on Viper 4.3.

Are you by chance talking about the ambient display option where the screen displays notifications in black and white first? If so you should be able to turn off ambient display.

Thanks I guess I didn't quite understand what the ambient display really does other then just turning the screen on automatically.

Hello guys,
I just have a question about the htc u11+. I have activated the always on display, but almost all of the times the AOD is very dim with very little brightness. Is there a way to fix this or that's the AOD of an LCD panel?
Thanks
I think that HTC will fix this whit an update.
Are you using max brightness? I wonder if third party AOD apps can act better...

I agree completely. AOD is really weak and dim. On a related matter, am I missing something or does this phone not turn the display on when you get a notification of some sort? That being email, text, whatsapp, etc... I checked every setting and the only thing it does is the led notification and vibration.
Can someone shed a light to this?
Thanks
I hate that my Moto Z Play doesn't have a notification light (and it's "always on" display is garbage), so I'm hoping that the HV10's light is decent. Does it properly show when you have a notification? Is it color coded or just the standard blue?
Thanks! Hopefully, I get some good answers. My HV10's already on the way.

It has a colored LED, that you can set in app options, and the screen can wake up too when a notification arrives if you set it.
The LED doesn't bright if you are in DND mode (Do No Disturb)

I have this activated with facial recognition, well if you use facial recognition you must enable it, and when I pick the phone from a table and is Infront of my face it gets unlocked immediately

Hey all,
I'm so used to all the features of Light Flow that I didn't realize how much I depended on it. Since the 3 does not have an LED, I'm looking for an alternative app to manage my notifications. I want to be able to choose the notification sound and the vibration pattern per app.
Light Flow does this but not without requiring a persistent notification. Normally you'd be able to avoid this by installing Light Flow Legacy, but it does not show up in the app store on the Pixel 3.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks
Go to apk mirror and download light flow legacy that way. Let us know how it goes. I really hate the lack of notification LED, but I'm not willing to go as far as you to customize the vibrations etc.

Already tried this. It doesn't seem be on there.
I've been using Light Manager. It displays customized colored icons on the screen in place of the LED, with AOD turned off. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Since there is no LED, we have no way of knowing if my phone is charging when plugged in without turning on the screen. Does light manager have a solution for this too?
Yes, it shows a charging icon and the %

I tried it and it looks like the default lock screen prevents the icons from displaying. Do you have your screen set to stay off when new notifications come in or is there something else you changed in either the app or system settings? Sorry for hijacking the thread with all the questions, but this lack of LED makes my phone useless while the screen is off.
Yes I have always on display off, and new notifications off. Double tap and lift for notifications I still have on though.

What other settings do you have? My phone isn't waking up with Light Manager with AOD/new notifications off and double tap/lift for notifications on. I do not have a lock screen enabled nor does it work with lock screen (swipe) enabled.
The "tests" aren't working either.

Does this require you to double-unlock to get to your phone, or is there someway around that?

That got it working. I have to tap the screen once, home/back button then shows, then double tap to get to the home screen.
Yeah I use fingerprint unlock and realize it requires it being done twice. We need a cleaner solution.

A cleaner solution was the $0.03 LED that Google removed from the phone! It shouldn't be this hard to tell if my phone is charging.
If I wanted a useless notification system, I would've purchased an iPhone!
Hello,
Since there's no more LED in the Pixel 3, I want ambient display to turn on when notification come in (as they normally do), but stay on till I wake up device and dismiss the notification, then turn off when there's no notification.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable this via tasker or any other app.
Is anything like this possible?
Thank you!
LED blinker pro has been talked about. Give that app a try.

That would be a great alternative to the always on display. I would love to know if there was a trick to make that work. Otherwise, yes, there are a bunch of screen led notification apps on the play store, but I haven't found any that play nicely with the default lockscreen. Some notifications work well, others dont. Give it a try though.

Yes you can do this via tasker.. in fact the latest versions have it built in.. just look under settings for "custom setting". Click the little search icon under name and it will help you find it by toggling it.
I just set it to enable ambient when a notification comes in and then turn the screen on once (you can turn ambient on when the screen is off, but it wont actually work until the screen has turned on once), and disable it either when the notification is cleared, or when you unlock the screen. Seems to work well...

Do share!
I just want to:
- Thank you for the idea. I was a little bit concerned about the lack of notification led, and also didn't like LED Blinker Pro and similar...
- Note that actually you don't need root to let Tasker toggle Secure Settings... You just need to grant Tasker permissions to change Secure Settings via adb (tasker help guides you to do so). It was quite straighforward, and now my phone acts exactly as I wanted!
Thanks again.

I have root - but can you please explain how you got tasker to do this for you. I haven't used tasker since the Android 2.2 days so I'm basically a newb. Or, I think you can simply export your tasker profile so I can import it directly. Whichever is easiest for you.
Well... my profile fits my needs, but may not fit yours... Also I must do some fine tunning, as it stills doesn't act as I would love. Sometimes AOD is not deactivated, and I must find why. But 90% of the time it's working Ok.
Anyway, I PM you my config so you can test it.
Let me export and send it to you.
You can enable ambient display to show when you get a notification through System > Display > Ambient > New Notifications.
I've just created an app called Pixel Pulse. I could use some testers if anyone is willing to give it a try. You can select the apps you want to have the app pulse your Ambient Display. There's paid customization for icons and colors but the core functionality of the app is free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

This is not the issue, we're trying to replicate the functionality of the LED pulse so that we can see missed notifications. Ambient display only wakes for a few seconds and then never again.

This app is great for me thus far! No noticeable battery drain (in fact, this app is not even showing up on my battery stats) and works as advertised! Recent update to include double tap to open app and also include swipe to dismiss made it perfect! Gladly donated...

I was talking exactly about that when I told you to customize to your needs. In my "ON" profile, I just want some apps notifications to trigger it. If you can't deselect some apps, you could try to open the .xml file with a text editor before importing, and delete them there.

Doesn't really work on my PIxel 3a XL (Android 10).
Pixel Pulse is installed and enabled, battery optimazion disabled, Pulse interval set to 8s, gmail and WhatsApp set to "Pulse" and "Show All", Display > Lockscreen > Always on disabled and Display > Lockscreen > New notifications enabled.
But does not pulse. New notification is shown for some seconds (like without Pixel Pulse), after hiding, maybe the pixel pulse notification will show up one or two times (but faster than 8 seconds!) and after that nothing more.
AmbiTuner also doesn't seem to work.
