Ambient Display with weather Android Beta 10 - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I noticed the other day I had a notification at the bottom of the screen right above the finger print sensor. It was a weather notification, typically I only see it in the morning and then it disappears. Anyone know how to keep it enabled or how it is enabled.

Here is a picture.

How did you get that? I didn't see any option to enable it

I don't know. I am on the beta version of android 10 and was hoping if someone on here knew about this. I was on DP5 before but I never saw this on the ambient screen so I am assuming it has to do with the Android 10 beta.
So if anyone knows please chime in.

It a new feature added in the dp5. Settings>Display>Ambient Display>Smart Display

I'm not saying your right or wrong, but I did look there before posting and it said nothing about weather. It only states >media and calendar<

Just enable one plus widget,and make a tap on lock screen.make sure smart display in ambient display is enabled

Can you post step by step and post a picture of your ambient display showing the weather.

It's seems to be hit and miss...it has a mind of its own and works whenever it feels like...

mine working usually early morning. without any settings

I just saw mine earlier now it's gone.

I just saw this as well. Early this morning before I went to work. Immediately jumped online to see how it happened. Now it's gone. Seems so dumb that I couldn't just have this all the time.
Edit: By the way, I'm on the regular OnePlus 7, not the Pro. Dont think it matters, but wanted to point it out.

I'm not on beta and also OP 7. So it def works, just dont know how. It happened for me this morning, then went away.

I'm on stable 10 on oneplus 6 and noticed the same this morning. Googled and found this thread. Bizarre that it only shows in the morning and has no setting.

It's been happening to me occasionally also. If I go into settings and turn it off and back on it starts working again. But then I have to do it all over again within an hour.

Yep, that's similar to what I'm experiencing. Are you using the setting in gestures, or the setting in display > ambient display?

I'm on the TMobile 7 Pro, have an update to 9.5.5.
Neither Double Tap to Wake... Nor Single Tap to Show in Ambient Display.. Not any other Quick Gestures like Draw O for Camera and all.. Nothing is Working... Is there a fault with the device or Software Update??

Simple answer for now, try factory reset, no ideal but then we can try something else
Hope not having any issues with on screen /off screen gesture as I'm using quite offen every day and really one of my favorite feature.
On Vivo smartphone I'm having one year now it's working brilliantly so far, hope OP the same excellent results as Vivo.
It would be totally frustrating if had any kind issues with 7 Pro gestures.

That's not good for a brand new phone out of box...
I'm having the same problem. Clearing the cache in recovery does nothing. I think it may be related to ambient light. Screen off gestures seem to work much better in well lit areas.
I've not had any issues at all since Tuesday when I got the device. Try booting into the recovery and wiping the cache. Could save you some trouble?
A factory reset resolved it for me.

i am facing same problems as you have been nothing works double tap to wake and single tap to show as well as draw patterns for apps nothing works. i have tried wiping cache and factory reseted it too once. i think its a software issue i hope they fix it soon
People apparently can not read. The OP just said factory reset worked just fine and people still keep saying the same things. SMMFH So unless you tried factory reset... no point in continuing to frakin post
So I have had OP7P Since Wednesday and I started to notice these problems about 6 hours in. Problems occurred prior to accepting the Out of Box update, after the update, after a factory reset. Restarting/Shut Down does not resolve the problem.
Lose of functionality are;
Double Tap to Wake
Ambient Display/Single Tap to Wake/New Notification
Gestures
Coming from the OP6T the solution previously that worked was to;
Settings->Apps->See All Apps->Menu (Shows System Apps)->Ambient Display->Storage->Clear Cache->Restart Phone
This solved the problem for about several hours. Going back into display setting and toggling Double Tap to Wake a couple of times sometimes restored functionality.
I have noticed that if my phone is in my pocket for some time and when I pull it out it won't respond. It feels like it has to think about whether it is still in my pocket or not. The times that it stopped working I've had to set my phone on a table or flat surface for about a minute or 2 and then pick it up. Thats when things will function as intended.
I have so far factory reset twice already and while it does solve it then and there the issue will arise again.
As for me it was working without any problem since the day I bought the phone but 9.5.9 broke it. Now I cannot make it work. I've tried xXX rom as well as Smurf Kernel and both didn't help.
Reverting back to 9.5.8 solved the problem... waiting for 9.5.9 FIX.
Tap to wake stopped working after the last update....

I tested it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Threema and BlueMail. It works flawlessly, though I would appreciate an update to customize the duration of the light, other colors and that it will be pulsating, etc.
Maybe a restart is going to fix your problem? Or try to turn off ambient display completely - restart - turn it on again. I read that others cleared data and cache of the app ambient display, that could work as well.

Thanks bro, will give all those a try.
Strange but I dont see ambient display app even in system apps I cant find it.
Got it, still didnt help... guess factory reset is next.
Works for me also, too bad is only once. I hope a software update can add more options.
I would like the screen to blink every few seconds when I have notifications, maybe also different colors per app.
I was on chat with OP support because I have yet to see the horizon light turn on. I have tested notifications for various apps in a pitch black room with ambient display on, off, changing notification slider to all 3 positions, restarting the phone, hard resetting the phone (all the suggestions from OP support) and nothing fixed it. OP support asked me to film the issue and send to them so they could "isolate the root cause of the issue". FYI I am on OOS 9.5.3 in case that is a different. I feel like mine is defective since I have yet to see any sort of edge light up.

Horizont Light not getting to work

I am coming from a Xiaomi Mi 9 and actually I am missing the notification LED!
Not sure whether it is a general issue of Android 10 on our device or based on a lack of knowlege on my end.
I think I set up everything propperly, but neither Horizont Light nor any 3rd party app is indicating anything.
I tried to solve this issue by reading some threads on XDA already -therefore I am quite convieneced that settings are ok- but still notification light is broken.
Maybe there is any Custom-ROM with a nice solution...
pls. advice!
THX!

Jep...fresh out of the box -not rooted or unlocked yet!- Android 10 got installed.
Sure , well aware that it is beta, therefore I am asking whether it is a general issue at present, fingers crossed, that it will be solved latest with the stable version.
I did a quick and dirty install of Android 10.0.2 over 9.5.13 -and- I go no Horizon Lights to the notification.
Cleared the data and cache of the Ambient Display and no change.
I miss the notification blick i had on my Pixel.
.
Does NotifyBuddy work ? - The OP has not been updated in 6 months, which leads to to think that it does not work on Android 10.
Does a Play Store app work ? I saw one on the store and then a user said it did not for OnePlus...

I could be wrong, but I thought the horizontal lights were only working for sms messages. I stand to be corrected on thay.
NotifyBuddy works but you lose the ability to activate Google assistant by saying "ok Google".

Did you fix this issue/find yourself a solution? I know it has been a while since you posted this but the Renovate Ice rom has settings for the ambient display horizontal lighting and you can change the colors as well has how many times it pulse's.
I'm looking for a solution as well. I'm stock rooted on 10.0.2, and I've yet to see that light come on. And if it does, since it only comes on briefly, I don't see it. I may have to try that Renovate Ice ROM to get multiple notifications.

ON 10.0.2 the horizontal notifications were not working for my either, but they worked with Renovate.
I installed pulse beat and put the right settings, i think, but it only pulses once and quickly.
What should the settings be, for those that got it to work?

Seems like a pretty decent alternative. Lots of options.
Only thing I've noticed is some occasional wonkiness in unlocking. It's random so I can't pin down what is really going on. Doesn't seem to be much of a battery hit

Notifications not appearing until the phone is unlocked.

Hi,
I have owned Find X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that my notification is not appearing when the phone is locked. It only shows up when I unlocked my phone.
I know Oneplus also has this issue but can be fixed by disable battery optimization.
Is there any thing I should disable or enable in order to alert me when my phone is locked.?

I was disappointed to discover there is no notification LED on this phone, so wanted to find a way to overcome that. I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue you've found, but maybe the solution is the same?
There are several ways to replicate the missing notification indicator, but the one I've been using since I got the Oppo is NotifyBuddy. Although there is a free version (link below), I quickly paid a small amount of money to unlock all its features. This means that notifications appear on my lock screen in the form of app icons - you can select the size, colour and which ones you want to show from a list of all your installed apps. I've set mine to blink on and off at one second intervals and for NotifyBuddy to not show any notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. A double-tap brings up the lock-screen fingerprint sensor, so it's easy to open the phone without even picking it up.
This is my preferred set-up, but the program is very flexible. It does consume some battery power because I've set it to run in the background (which seems pretty essential to me) but the extra drain is very small.
You can get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy&hl=en
Thank you John for your reply,
I do not think this will solve my issue nor the original posters issue. When the phone blinks out and goes into its hibernation state/lock screen state and has been idle for quite some time, no notifications come through until the phone has been picked up or woken up then all the notifications flood in. I have tried all sorts of things to get the notifications to work when the phone is in this state but it just does not work. However, if the always on display is on, all notifications work perfectly as the phone is not in that hibernation/resting state. I am not sure this app would help until this aspect is resolved, unless in your experience it has fixed the issue?

When the phone was in hibernation, I wasn't getting any notifications through either. The app I suggested solved this. Now I get notifications immediately, whatever the phone's state.

Also whilst I am thinking about this, supposedly lock screen magazine can impact notifications if it is turned off so I have enabled this too.
Cheers.
I thought I'd add a photo of my Oppo Find X2 Pro showing how notifications appear on my lock-screen whilst the phone is locked. This is thanks to the NotifyBuddy app which I've discussed earlier in this thread.
Sadly, I seem unable to embed the photo, so here's a link to it:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_gass/50301729781/in/dateposted-public/
It shows three simultaneous notifications... Twitter, WhatsApp and TypeApp (which is my preferred email app). The strange position of the icons is because I set up NotifyBuddy's ability to move the icons around to avoid any possibility of OLED screen burn-in.
And finally, I have no connection with this app except that I've been really pleased with it and feel it deserves a bit of promotion!

I am facing the same issue on my oppo reno 8, in my case sleep standby optimization is turned on, because of which I am not getting notifications on lock screen. Make sure you turn off sleep standby optimization. Settings>>Battery>>Advanced settings>>sleep standby optimization.

Question Is the AOD really supposed to be this way on Pixels?

I am so used to my OnePlus 9's AOD that I'm kind of surprised how terribly it seems to be implemented here and I'm hoping it's just being buggy...
First off, the AOD doesn't seem to work at all if I don't choose to have it displayed all the time (which is the first hint that this may be a bug as even the preview for tap or lift seems to suggest that the AOD should be popping up, not the lock screen as is happening right now).
Second, if I do have it displayed all the time, incoming notifications bring up the lock screen. My OnePlus shows a preview of that one specific notification while still on the AOD screen and it seems silly that Google isn't utilizing something similar. It is extremely handy to have a text come in, say with a 2FA code, and have the entire screen black besides a large preview that shows you that code. The way that it is working now, it wakes the lock screen, which is fine, except the message gets truncated so it often requires me to interact with the device even further to be able to see the full message.
I also tried turning off wake the screen for notifications to see if that triggers the AOD and... it just adds an icon to the AOD...
This is a huge downgrade in user experience if this is the normal expected behavior. I could have sworn my 3 XL handled it better than this but I haven't used it for awhile and I'm not at home where I could check it. Maybe I'll have to look into third party options.
Im not quite sure and your whole post. I as well had the Oneplus 9 pro. My Pixel 7 pro AOD works just fine. I double tap screen and goes directly to the AOD, which displays the Date(top left corner), the time that is big, the fingerprint icon and battery percentage. a tap of the screen brings up the lock screen. Face unlock and pin works directly to the home screen. Now I do have to say im using Nova Launcher as i can't stand that the dat and google search bar can't be removed.

Thanks. Sounds like I have a bug after all right now.
When you get a text or something, does it show an AOD notification with a preview like the OnePlus did or does it just show the lock screen?
I turned off screen on with new notification, I will have to check
Without screen on with new notification, I still get the notification and AOD stays on. Lock screen does not come on. So in other words, AOD works as it should.

My OnePlus shows a preview of that one specific notification while still on the AOD screen and it seems silly that Google isn't utilizing something similar. It is extremely handy to have a text come in, say with a 2FA code, and have the entire screen black besides a large preview that shows you that code. The way that it is working now, it wakes the lock screen, which is fine, except the message gets truncated so it often requires me to interact with the device even further to be able to see the full message.

The AOD on my Pixel 4a works just like you describe the OnePlus AOD, it stays on the AOD but displays the message at the center for a few seconds, sounds like a bug (unless this changed on the 7 and 7 pro for some reason).
Interesting. Thanks to both of you. Hopefully it gets resolved at some point. I'm in no mood to factory reset and set everything up again so I'll just deal with it for now.

You can get those back if you want. Settings > System > Gestures > System navigation and change back to 3-button.
Do you have the wake screen setting toggled? It's possible that's why

I have tried messing with all four settings in all sorts of configurations to see if I can get it to work properly and have been totally unsuccessful. It seems I have just stumbled on some kind of bug.

Hey, I do have the same bug. Did you manage to fix it ?
I am rooted + I use Kirisakura kernel
I don't think this would be the cause but we never know ...

It was resolved after I did a factory reset and restored only SMS and apps (but not settings) from my Google backup.

Thx ! Damn it ...

Im not quite sure and your whole post. I as well had the Oneplus 9 pro. My Pixel 7 pro AOD works just fine. I double tap screen and goes directly to the AOD, which displays the Date(top left corner), the time that is big, the fingerprint icon and battery percentage. a tap of the screen brings up the lock screen. Face unlock and pin works directly to the home screen. Now I do have to say im using Nova Launcher as i can't stand that the dat and google search bar can't be removed.

Don't know if I understand you correctly. Do you have enabled AOD all the time (always show time and info)? If not, you double tap to show AOD and it's working fine? Do you have any other settings enabled (tap to check phone, etc)?
I have disabled AOD (always show time and info) and when I tap, it goes straight to lockscreen. Not sure but that change may have been introduced in one of the latest updates.
@EtherealRemnant same question to you
In my case as it works right now:
When I enable AOD (always show time and info), it is showing all the time. When I disable that, it's not. When I tap on the screen (when AOD is disabled), it goes straight into lockscreen. When I receive a notification, AOD shows for a short moment.
What I would like to achieve (dunno if that's possible) would be to have tap to show AOD instead of lockscreen (with AOD not showing all the time).
I understand what you would like to do( tap the screen to have AOD appear first. I cannot find anything like( temp AOD) in settings. The show time and info toggle is basically the master AOD switch. Either AOD all the time or disabled completely, nothing in between.
Same for me, after reading topics on reddit, I was thinking I wasn't a bug and I might misunderstood what op was saying.
@trawel to add to your statement, if you move slightly your phone, like lifting one side, the AOD should come, most of the time (sometimes screen stays black)
But yeah I also would like to be able to "tap to show AOD" so it won't unnecessarily unlock when it sees my face.
AOD = Always On Display...it's in the name...ALWAYS ON. I understand what you're looking for but then it would NOT be called AOD, but SOD = sometimes on display.

We get the semantics but the point is that the AOD used to function differently. You used to be able to tap to get the AOD to come on and lifting the device used to always go to AOD FIRST. When I made this thread, I was not seeing the AOD at all most of the time. A factory reset has set it to such that if the phone gets barely moved, the AOD comes up, but tapping or picking it up quickly will almost always go to the lock screen (but then sometimes it will go to the AOD too when picking it up quickly) so it's clearly bugged somehow as the behavior is inconsistent, whichever way that Google intended for it to actually be.
Going beyond that, the AOD is pretty useless anyway. Any incoming notifications light up the lock screen. Why can't they just make it like my OnePlus where the notification shows up on a black screen with a full preview when AOD is enabled? This is so much more useful, not to mention battery friendly.
