[GSI] [Lineage OS] [Pie] Display is not going to sleeping. - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers

My display will not sleep and I have to manually switch off display. No matter which values I set at `settings -> display -> sleep` the display never sleeps. If I forgetfully leave the display on, it will stay that way till I attend to it.
I observed my device did not have this issue if I am using stock ROM.
It is a serious security, privacy and batter issue.
What is preventing my display from sleeping; what can I do?

Are you telling me if I install "pixel experience GSI" I will not have the problem I mentioned in the OP? I got news for you, I tried "pixel experience GSI" still the same problem.

Okay, I'm just saying when I used pixel experience and I didn't have the problem of the display. When you had stock os did u have this problem. That my news to you.

No! I do not have this problem on stock.

I have found the issue. I installed a xposed module, HiddenCore. It is keeping the screen from sleeping. After I uninstalled it the display is going to sleep after the timeout.

CM13 Notifications are not coming when screen is off

I just upgraded to Snapshot version of CM 13 ZNH0EAO1QB and noticed that notifications that requires data connection are delayed my screen is off. Ever since I did the upgrade, I have to turn on the screen and play around a bit or open the respective application for the message to arrive to my phone. Is there any workaround for this issue? I didn't have this issue while I'm on CM 12.1.
Thanks!

I think ur issue is with Doze mode kicking in. try not to optimize the apps u want to receive notification under battery Optimization and reboot that should take care of the issue.

Just root it and install Push Notification Fixer. I've done it for my Nexus 4 during Jellybean years, and now my OnePlus One.

Android Auto issues on Poco F1 Custom Roms

On all custom Roms I've tried so far (and they've been a few), there's an ongoing problem while using Android Auto connected to the car's built-in display. Basically, if you plug in your phone and start using AA, after a while the bottom bar on the car's display will disappear, and although you can keep driving and AA will keep working, once you stop and unplug the phone from the car, the phone will lock you out and it's screen will start to flicker and go crazy, giving you no other option but to force reboot the phone.
This issue was present on MIUI Oreo roms as well, but since they updated to Pie last month, it was addressed and a fix was found (seems it was related to the devices default display drivers). For custom Roms, there's a temporary workaround, which is to disable hardware overlays in developer settings, but you need to do this every time you reboot your phone since these settings don't stick permanently.
I've posted and mentioned this issue on several different custom ROM threads, but as far as I know, none of the devs has acknowledged the issue nor has tried to find a solution. So, the question is; how many of you have the same problem?
Please provide your feedback, as it would be good to let the devs know this is not unimportant or isolated.

On which MIUI Version are you having that problem?
Which car display with which software version are you using?
For me with MIUI 8.12.27 weekly EU version and Skoda Bolero display I'm not having the issue you describe.

Yes, and it was (plenty of comments on MIUI forums and over the net, if you want to take a look...) They fixed it on Pie, and if you're still running Oreo and don't have issues, then I guess they fixed it there, too.
This poll, topic and thread is for the issues still affecting Aosp based custom roms, such as Crdroid, PE, Lineage, etc.
Even I would like to know the result of this poll. I am on the verge of trying out a custom ROM (since i am done with the bugs in MIUI). But if AA doesn't work on custom ROM, it is a showstopper for me.
Hi,
I have a different issue with Android Auto.
My problem is that when I connect to Android Auto, after a couple of minutes (1-2, 2-3 minutes) the screen on the car's display seems to be stuck, and from then on it doesn't follow my progress on the way. The screen itself is not frozen, because e.g. I can make a reroute but after it is done it goes back to the "original" state of my route when it stopped progressing. The screen remains responsive regarding the controls because I can even change to Google Maps on the car's AA display, and it works flawlessly.
Anyone else had this issue?

I'm currently on Crdroid, and in my opinion it's the one that works best. As for the AA issue, it's present on all custom roms, but for the time being, I'm using the workaround I mentioned on OP and can use AA fully.

Strange, I tried an EU rom about a couple of weeks ago for a few days and AA worked out of the box. Didn't like the MIUI stuff, though, so reverted back to Crdroid.
I however remember I flashed the full MIUI rom completely, wiping everything and starting from scratch, so if you want to stick with MIUI, maybe you should do a fresh install...

Thanks, I had read you could use tasker for that, but it's a paid app and I wouldn't be using it for anything else at the moment. I'm fine with remembering to disable it manually. Still, I believe the issue has to be addressed at some point by the devs...
One General question:
The only thing keeping me away from custom roms is the AA issue. Nice to hear that at least we have a workaround.
At the moment i am on MIUI Android pie and using a VW in build AA Display. The issue i'm having is that WhatsApp notifications are not shown on the Display. I can send WhatsApp Messages via Ok Google but not able to hear received messages.
Do you guys have the same issue?

Wouldn't be able to confirm that, although I did read somewhere that if you're using any Dual apps on MIUI, AA won't work correctly. Are you using two WhatsApp accounts by any chance...?
I can tell you though that on the current rom I'm using (crdroid), they do work and appear on the cars screen, although most of the time there's no notification ringtone whenever they arrive. Since that was happening on my previous phones too, be it on nougat, oreo and pie, I guess that's a problem with AA itself...
Thanks for your quick reply.
Happy to hear that it is generally working.
Not using dual Apps. Will try to flash a custom Rom in the next days

This is my setup:
USB debugging on and hardware overlays disabled.
In AA developer options, enable 720, 1080, unknown sources.
If it still won't work, then Im guessing it could maybe be due to different screen panels or something...

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?

Brightness slider disappeared from pull down notification area.

Like the title says, my brightness slider just disappeared from the notification pull down area. Im running oxygen os 10 with root, twrp, No Limits magisk rom, elemental x 2.0 kernel, and substratum lite mod that changes fingerprint icon. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I have the same problem, I didn't find a solution yet
what I found out is that the slider reappears when I create another user... so it looks like it's some kind of broken user setting
Could it be your DPI settings? Just throwing something out there...

I was able to replicate what you said and it disappears again after switching back to my normal profile. I guess it is a broken system setting that they have to iron out.
