I got a leather case for my google pixel from stilgut, it claims its genuine leather, texture is real good, you can find it on amazon
I picked up a this case.
It's very good quality and feels very nice however, the "always on" screen is no longer "always on". The case and it's smaller window is detected and when the phone first turns off the smaller clock appears on the right side of the screen however, after the timeout the clock turns off leaving me a blank screen.
If I remove the case, the normal "always on" screen function works perfectly.

I have similar to this, but I got the official "Smart View" case, which is basically identical to this one, but not leather... Always On acts same way as you explained, however if i just open the front flap and turn the screen off, Always On displays... this is per design - the smartview case is not meant to have an AlwaysOn display in that little window, just when someone calls or you get a message, or alarm goes off does it turn on etc. It would have been great tho, if they did make it show the smaller Clock AOD type display in this window at all times (if I have AOD turned on).
Thanks.
So, it's not my case then that's at fault as you have the official case and it also has the same problem.
Oh well, hope Huawei read this and add it to the functionality for the next firmware.

Yeah it would be good, fingers crossed.. i'm not 100% on how the AOD works compared to that bar of display you can see thru the smartview window (as this is actually screen on in full but limited to that section. This feature has been available on a bunch of previous devices by Huawei, but AOD was only just introduced on this model). I guess they would have to modify the AOD to have 2 functional types, full screen AOD and then smartview window sized AOD...

The PRO has an AMOLED screen which allows this without destroying the battery performance. AMOLED only uses power for anything OTHER than black so, the small AOD clock with it's minimal pixels in use drains a tiny amount of battery as the vast majority of the screen isn't powered and left black. LCD (as used on the normal Mate 9) on the other hand actually uses a backlight (AMOLED doesn't) and that's why it's an "all or nothing" screen which also means it drains more power. My wifes S7 and my Note 7, both with AMOLED screens, did the "always on" thing. In particular, the Note 7 was excellent as it also showed next appointment and notifications.
The LG(?) has a separate LCD screen at the top of it that is tiny. As it's separate it's only a small amount of power used to light that screen and not the main screen.

Yeah ok, they would just need to adjust the AOD to display only thru the thin part of the Smartview window area, right now AOD displays smack bang centered in the AMOLED display (and too large for the area of this smartview window)... so as I suggested, they just need to modify the AOD service to detect that a SmartView Windowed case is On, then define the area of AMOLED screen to be used and make it slightly smaller for the AOD clock etc, instead of the putting it in full size in centre of the screen.

Yup, exactly. Just a minor (Probably) software change.
Ringke is best and fits perfectly on the Huawei Mate 9 Pro. It is available in multiple color. It is crystal clear protection with advanced 2X tough coating enhances the Huawei Mate 9 Pro original look with minimal bulk. It is also soft flexible premium edges cover all four corners with guards and tapered lips to offer vital lift design for daily usage scratches.

s9+ clear flip cover display off need to turned off

I am using s9+ samsung orginal clear flip cover. When we flip the cover it ll automatically turn off the display. Is there a way to turn this off. Even i flip the cover i don't want the screen to be locked. For example if i am watching YouTube and i close the case it shouldn't be turned off. Is there any option for this? Kindly advise me.
Maybe you need to get a better case.

The S10e comes with a screen protector, but scratches easily. You can tap anywhere on the screen to activate the screen if the AOD is turned on.

Question Cover Screen opens accidentally in pocket

Hello Developers
I recently bought Z flip 3... nice phone... just have a challenge and need your advices here.
With the always on display on, and double tap activated .... the cover screen gets triggered randomly in my pocket whatever trousers I am wearing... seems its touch sensitivity is high...
How can I avoid this?
Note: the only way i found to avoid that is by disabling the double tap option to open screen and always on... but this is not the best option I want, as it makes the cover screen only opens with the on/off button
Thanks,
Gano

Get a holster? That's really the only option for it without replacing the functionality and being able to increase the required pressure.

Thanks for feedback. I have a cover already but not covering the cover screen. the only way i do right now is to put it in my pocket where the cover screen is facing the outside to avoid the random touches... i dont think this is the best way of protection but no other way so far.
The thing is, the cover screen doersnt have approximaty sensor by design, you can also see that the brightness is configured manually based on that... that's why I think the feature (Accidental touch protection) doesnt help with the cover screen.

It's the light sensor that's missing, but that is why there isn't an automatic brightness. It makes some sense, since you wouldn't want the light sensor that controls the screen on the outside. It would think it's dark every time it was on a table. That's not to say separate sensor would have been such a bad idea.
That's why you would want to increase the pressure. That would, at least, filter out some of the touches.

Question better cover screen notifications?

anyone find anything for the cover screen to show more than an orange dot? I see coverscreenos but I dont need all that crap nor want to use the cover screen as anything but for notifications. i just need something to show what notifications have arrived, like always on display shows.
Unfortunately there isn't yet, same issue we all faced on the flip3. Samsung really need to give us more control over the cover screen.
