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.

How many of you guys are using AcDisplay over the Ambient Display ported over in some Lollipop ROMs?
What is your take on each?
Which do you prefer?

That's a good comparison. But ambient display isn't completely functional yet. Like when picking up the device the screen doesn't show your notifications like acdisplay does.
As it is now, ambient display does absolutly nothing usefull. I like the Acdisplay when it turn on the screen automatically after pull up from pocket, but sometimes nexus is in top of a table and screen keep going on and off with the lights from outside. I often use Peek, but unfortunetly it only work some seconds after receiving the notification.
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.

Its in Lyapotas MOD Pack
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.

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?

Are you setting Light Manager to "Screen Mode" in the top right?

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!
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
