AOD as only lockscreen - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Is it possible to have AOD lockscreen be the only lockscreen? Seems like I have to unlock the AOD and then unlock the regular lockscreen. I LIKE the AOD screen - can I configure it to be the only lockscreen?
Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm a new Samsung user.

Firstly, i assume you prefer the AOD and the added security of a lockscreen.?
Otherwise,
easiest option, would be to disable lockscreen and set option to " None ".
In this case you would only have AOD if enabled ?
However, in this case, certain banking apps,
and maybe some other apps ? , that
require a lockscreen eg Fingerprint, Pin etc
won't work (non rooted device )
Security.
I would suggest, to enable AOD and fingerprints etc and in AOD you could enable fingerprint icon
to "show always" on AOD screen.?
Only concern is maybe "burn in" issues, on screen ?
Otherwise, you can set fingerprint icon to show if you lightly tap /press screen.
See screenshots.
So al you need is on AOD screen use fingerprint to go straight to your Device main screen..?
There might be some other options some other members use..?
However, your straightforward question was... can you use AOD as " only lockscreen."
My experience.... says no...!
but who knows... if you rooted..!
Good luck.

Looking for a quick lock screen toggle option

Posted this in the LG section but have since rid of that phone for the S6.
I'm hoping to find a way to disable the lock screen when i'm at home or another trusted area, without the need for unnecessary GPS/Location usage as with what the 'smart lock' option demands. Also, without having to root the device.
On my S4 widgetsoid did this brilliantly right from the notification panel and it would coincide with the device locking features that were set.
For instance. Whenever i was home I'd disable by tapping the padlock icon. Then if i went out I'd just tap it again to enable it. If I forgot to enable it, the set time limit for the locking options would take control and eventually automatically lock the device on it's own.
Is there anything available like this? Widgetsoid needs system access for this feature to work now.

Always on Display (AOD)

"Show notification icons on the Always On Display screen if a screen lock type has been set."
Why on earth is that specific requirement needed at the end? I want it activated during AOD even without using some type of lock screen.
Is there a way around this? I just want the small notifications to pop up underneath it.
AOD clearly works without having a screen lock.
I was wondering the same thing. I finally landed on using fingerprint to unlock just so that I could see notifications on AOD.

Notifications on lockscreen

Hello,
I am new to this forum and new to my view 10.
I recently noticed when receiving messages they are not visible on my lockscreen.
No icons in the top left, no messages below the big clock.
I tried both solutions from
Notifications are hidden
and
Notifications on lock screen - how to unhide content?
they did not solve my problem.
Circumstances:
tried: Notifications management -> 3 dots -> disable and enable "Display all notifications"
tried: disable "Display all notifications" - reboot - enable
using fingerprint + pin to unlock
no face unlock setup
Could this be affected by the lockscreen emui theme?
Hope someone can help me.
I also have this issue, tried all of the above and still no notifications on lock screen... quite annoying.

I found a solution for me.
It actually really depends on the emui lockscreen design you set. I guess that implementing notification is left to the designer of the theme, so some have them and some dont.
I can recomend designs from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/themes/stock-oreo-theme-v0-1-t3738855 , they work mostly.
if it is inbuilt theme (stock), it works fine.
other themes dont support

Screen security (silly?) question

Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.

Question Possible to disable Ambient screen

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
