Notification display turn on(lollipop)?

Receiving a notification doesn't turn on the display, is there some sort of setting I have to enable?

Anyone?

The nexus 5 doesn't have a AMOLED screen, so Ambient Display is not supported. Catalcysm Rom added it also to the Nexus 5, but I wouldn't use that, since it worsens your battery live.
You need to download a app to make this possible, like Screen Notifications (from Luke Korth) or Ac Display (Artem Chepurnoy)

Yeah thanks.
I guess I'm on an older version of cataclysm.
Got home, and learned proper name of it. Didn't know it was called ambient display. Cheers...

You mention battery life...
How would one turn off vibrate?

Ambient display?

Does anyone know how to enable ambient display for notifications at least? Surprised it's left out of the device. Already tried the Xposed module. And it didn't work.

Sadly I don't think EMUI has Ambient Display.

Doesn't the fact that it has an LCD display mean doing so will eat battery life something fierce?

It is better to be away , trying to enable or using apps to do will consume a lot of battery .

not supported

If it's AOSP then there is a way.

Always on display...

Do you guys think it would be possible for the Honor 8 to be getting an Always On display feature? I know the Pixel 2 has it and I just think it would be neat if Huawei incorporated that feature on to the Honor 8, whether it'd be on the (hopefully) upcoming update or some other way. In my opinion I think it would be better to have that feature instead of having your phone turn on normally (with the background and everything) to every notification you get (assuming you have that turned on like I do), plus it saves some battery life in the long run. What do you guys think?

I think that it might eat more battery because honor 8 has lcd display and not amoled. Amoled display is only using battery on those pixels that are on, so blacks don't use any battery. Lcd display needs the whole display to be alight when its using even one pixel on the screen. I think that with lcd displays it's better to use the notification led which we already have.

True, I never actually thought of that. So does that mean the always on feature is only on AMOLED phones?

Lg g6 has always on feature even though it has an LCD panel

Im not saying that AOD would not work on LCD. There are some apps on google playstore that should do the trick. I dont know how well they work but you can try some. See if drain your battery.

Yea those apps drain the battery. I remember trying it out on my old Nexus 5. However having that feature already integrated into the system of the phone and having a separate app are 2 different things as having it integrated into the system allows it to be more optimized, meaning that it could minimally affect battery life unlike having a separate app.

I use an AOD along with macrodroid so it only comes on when charging. My phone sits on a dock next to my bed so it becomes a night clock with the brightness set to low. Works pretty neat actually, but wouldn't recommend it for normal use as it eats the battery

always on display

I am planning to buy one plus 7 Pro.. Had never previously bought one plus device only pixel and Samsung note. Only feature I am concerned is always on display. Is the feature present or only ambient display is there.. Also is there any way through magisk module or anything to get AOD..

No there is no always on display, only ambient display. There was a work around for the 6T but it had a lot of issues. I wouldn't buy it if that's a feature you just have to have.

Ambient only, no module as of now for native AoD, just apps in playstore

Try Always on Amoled from the playstore, pretty straightforward, been using it for a few days now.

Hows the battery life with the app?

Hasn't been too bad, couple extra % here or there but with the rapid charge on the phone I don't worry about it. I would say it's similar to my Note 9/S10 +.

Always on Amoled is what I use and I have zero issues with battery life or the app itself.

Always on amoled is great but breaks lift to wake for stock ambient display functionality. Need to tap the screen or press power to get the fingerprint scanner to appear for a scan. So close to being a perfect AOD solution for OP devices.

AOD doesnt turn off in the dark?

hey guy's its my first samsung and was wondering why AOD doesnt detect full darkness when autobrightness is on and doesnt go dark when in total darkness or in pocket etc.
Also if I dont enable edge lighting and get a notification therea no popup on the aod screen at all? no way to have it like aosp or pixel? Or the best would be for screen to wake when notification comes and then go dark leaving icon to show notification.
Last question, is there a way to make the edge lighting style toast notification bubble dark on dark more and not that white bubble? i cant get goodlock to work in my country evem with vpn install it says the modules arent for my phone.

It's not supposed to when it's set to be on continously; it will only change brightness intensity in accordance to ambient levels.
Or this can be set to any level if you chose not to use the auto-brightness feature.
You can set it to double tap on when needed or never to be on at all.
So just how deep does the Sammy rabbit hole go?
Very deep.

lol i have a k20 Pro also and on miui the aod stays untill your in complete darkness, which is logical? miui has lockscreen wake when notification comes also like ios. Way better then edge bubble thing or not having any popup?
when the phone is on the desk i want to see who messaged and then decide to check or not.

I'm running Pie on a Note 10+ so it's they are two very different Android variants.
Controls may be hidden in settings or elsewhere.
I go looking through all the settings that I can find. Even after a year occasionally I find something new; lots of settings.
Androids are like a game... not a boring Apple

Back in the older days pre note 9 AOD actually turned off when you placed phone face down or if you used a wallet type holder or covered proximity sensor ( good ). Samsung then at some point changed their proximity sensor type whereby this feature would be no longer supported. I think the note 8 was the last samsung I owned that worked this way.
However I never recall it ever going completely dark / off even in a pitch dark room.

hmm wierd they would take that feature off why not turn it off when its not needed (aod).
is there another way to have notifications popup on aod apart from edge lightning? like on pixels pr aosp rom?

I agree. The feature was really beneficial especially for those that use wallet type cases. You open the cover and AOD activated regardless of it being a mom genuine case.
PS. I think the change actually came about after the note 9 series with their under the screen type proximity sensor implementation from s10 onwards.

With only a few OLEDs active their power drain is slight. Their mosfet drivers are very efficient.
The current used additional sensing of previous versions may have been more prohibitive than that of the active OLEDs.
I just leave mine on; turning off decreases off time battery consumption by 20% or so. Not as much as you think as other systems run regardless unless you power the phone off.

I'd vouch for your last paragraph. Screen off drain has become the achilles heel of the galaxy devices more so than before. I can't seem to get below at best 0.4% drain per hour if I'm lucky . I need to look into some of the methods you mentioned in this forum.

That's probably as good as it gets. Cell standby and device idle are needed otherwise simply power it down.
With AOD always on I figure 1% or less @ hr is good performance.
Tap on only improves it but I like stuff that glows.

Yeah but,.no but, yeah but... My Moto.G gets 1 to 2 percent evrrynight. " Totally unacceptable for a $1399 msrp device".I'm gonna use this line like the noobies do better still use it as my signature.

on my k20pro i can get 0.4% and hour idle with aosp rom and like 8-11% active.
here i dont want to root so cant use franko manager to see or app with real data.
this white bubble with edge lighting notifications is annoyinf i cant make it dark??

o **** this app aodnotify does exactly what I want, gives an led circle and shows message preview
orr even better this glimpse app remplaces aod edge lighting with simple lockscreen wake then back to aod with app icon. On regular screen on edge behaviour is the same.

Over 1% some apks are running amuck*. The 10+ use to do that.
It's very irritating.
