Pixel 2 / VZW
Since the Pie "upgrade" my Ambient Display, while set to "Always On", turns off frequently. Any ideas? Thanks.

Okay so I discovered that Auto brightness in CM7 is messed up so instead I am using manual brightness setting. So far so good, but when I use Google navigation, after a while the screen dims to lowest brightness and wont go back to my brightness till the navigation app speaks next instruction and then it dims again after a timeout.
Anyway to turn this annoying behaviour off?
Does changing the screen timeout setting help?
The one under Settings > Display > Screen Timeout is the setting I'm reffering to.
No, that only affects the screen turning off. It remains on, just dims to lowest brightness
Give this app a whirl. You can select an app and while in the app you selected (navigation/maps/whatever) the screen will never turn off. I don't think it will dim either.
You have to use navigation thru car home to prevent that.

I know they mean well, but I do not like being forced to use the new Adaptive Brightness (aka Auto Dim) feature and I cannot find a method to disable it.
I keep my display on a low brightness setting, usually a 3 or 4. When the Adaptive Brightness kicks in, the screen is too dim. The only way I can find to "correct" this is to set the brightness higher, much higher. A counter productive solution.
Is there another way to turn off, or disable this unwanted feature?
Hi, considering buying the reg pixel 3. Does it have double tap screen to wake and ambient display? Tried searching but could not find anything.
It does, but currently I have an issue with my screen flashing on ambient display when new notifications wake it. On two different Pixel 3 devices. It also has lift to check and alwayson options for ambient display.

Thanks. I always have my phone on desk and like to wake it to see screen and notifications, just don't want to have to push power button or lift it.

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?

Typically, an Ambient display solution which turns on the screen only when notifications are present, remains on, but turns off when they are dismissed.

This feature is meant to show you which notifications you got piled up at any given time. Once you handle them, the phone's screen goes off again.
Unfortunately some phones don't seem to have such a native option (cough Nokia 9 PureView cough), so is there an app that can do it for them?
