Having a very annoying issue with my 5 II where it does not show the correct time on the ambient display. It can be over an hour or two behind sometimes, specially at night, but sometimes during the day as well. I figured might have something to do with a battery saving option somewhere so I went through the settings and turned everything possible off.
In the Battery usage setting page both Screen and Ambient Display are on top naturally and both have "Power-saving feature" Applied. When I tap on it to change it loads a long list of apps, most of which also have the feature applied. However, there is no Screen and there's no Ambien Display in either list where I could change the setting to Excepted instead of Applied. So I went one by one and disabled the feature on all the apps in the list, but unfortunately Screen and Ambient Display still show that the feature is applied.
Where can I change this setting? How do I disable Power-Saving feature completely? Am I even looking at the right things to solve this issue?
Thank you

To solve the ambient display notifications + clock lag, please try this:
Settings - Display - Lock screen preferences - Ambient display - When to show Ambient display - select "Smart activation"
This is something that happens on many phones, including Google Pixel 2 XL.
This setting prevents deep-sleep for ambient display.

What does it do?
It acts as a sleep timer for the Netflix app, putting it to sleep after a set period of time.
How does it work?
It works by initially lowering the volume and brightness of your display, so you don't get awoken by the sudden silence if you're using it at night. It then closes the Netflix app, puts your display to sleep (by changing the display timeout to it's lowest setting), then puts all your settings (volume etc) back to their original values. Job done.
Why does it need permission to modify system settings?
Two reasons:
It needs this permission to be able lower the screens brightness to gently sleep the Netflix app.
To turn your device off afterwards, the technical choices were either a, set the timeout to the lowest level and let the device put itself to sleep, or b, request device admin permissions to allow the app to manually turn off your screen... I don't know about you but I'm not too keen on giving apps admin access to my device
Known issues
There is currently no way to interrupt the app, so if it triggers at the set time, you just have to wait for it to finish - This will be resolved in the next release.
Just found out the app beta didn't actually publish so no one could download it ??
My bad.. It's up now (link in OP) ?

I'm wondering whether using high contrast black setting in accessibility option saves battery from draining? In case of oled displaye i'm sure it does. Not sure about qhd display in G7. What are your thoughts?
I'm a fan of black background (past windows phone user) and that accessibility option is spot on. Pics attached

well according to bunch of stuffs i read about how lcd screen works, some certain color doesn't ensure battery saving, unlike oleds (black color = turn off the pixel; it doesn't work that way with lcd screens, AFAIK)
i once read from a tech web (not sure which one, anandtech if i'm not mistaken) that G7's screen is the most energy efficient in brightness above 35%
Hi, My Poco F2 arrived yesterday. I had Samsung Galaxy Note 8 before. and no issues with notifications.
I have a massive problem with them on Poco... For many apss I do not get them (for example lloyds banking app) For some apps I get them just on the main screen (not lock screen). I have also noticed that on Always on display screen I can only see g-mail notification icon. Anything else is not visible (whatsup for example).
I went through all the settings (inside the applications as well) and turned on notifications.
For example
Notifications on Ambient screen are on
Notifications in Notification settings are on and also Notifications on lock screen are on,
I have also changed Energy Saver option on each application to unlimited.
Can anybody help me with that problem ? Is it normal on Poco ?
did you checked here? and tick necessarily for the lock screen notifications?

Hi. It is almost sorted. there is many places where you have to switch some options on or off. You have to also switch off all battery saver options
Ok i had this problem. What i done is main phone settings, notifications, and then every app i cheched notifications were on. But then in every sub menu (look on pics) i made sure that they were on too.
have similar problem but in lockscreen
Two questions regarding "turn on screen for notifications" functionality on stock firmware OOS 11.0.8.12.KB05BA
In setting Display - Ambient display there is a 'New notifications' option, this option works only with Horizon Light
Is there a possibility to wake screen for notifications, but without color stripes on the sides?
Using search in settings you can find 'Wake screen for notifications' option.
Even if 'Ambient display' in setting is OFF, 'Wake screen for notifications' option can be turned ON, but screen doesn't wakes for new notifications.
Is it "an old" menu option that developers forgot to delete or am I missing some options to make it work?
My goal is to find a way to turn screen on for new notifications without fancy Horizon Light effects.
I'm using an app called Wake Up Screen and it works perfectly for me.

thank for your suggestion
for now I've decided to stick with aodNotify
it doesn't wake up the screen, but does a much better job (in my case) - emulates LED-light that I was missing so much
at first, while setting up this app, it's on top in statistic draining battery, but the next day it disappears from the list
I have my new phone for two days, but didn't manage to figure out how to properly configure the notification settings.
I'm used to get a tone or vibration if a new message comes in. This phone also notifies me if an notification changes. If I play music through Spotify e. g., the phone vibrates when playing the next song. This gets annoying quickly, when a message with progress information is displayed and I get notified for every change in percentage (updating, downloading stuff, etc.).
Is there an option to disable this behavior (but still get notified for new messages)?
Is there an option to entirely disable notification tones while the display is on?
Thanks

You have very granular control over your notifications. Long press the notification in the pulldown menu, then you can set it to be 'Other'. Additionally, you can can navigate from there to the deeper notification settings to turn off sound/vibrate/etc.
The per app setting is working great, but is there maybe a more global option I'm not seeing?
And is there an option to ignore changes of the content (e.g. ignore the progress change of 1% to 2%)?
The option controlling the vibration if a new message comes in seems to be a subsetting of the accessibility settings rather than the normal tone & vibration settings. I had this option enabled and my phone ignored the per app vibration setting. When disabled, it never vibrates on new messages.
The solution seems to be to disable and re enable this setting. Now my phone behaves normal and doesn't ignore the per app settings.
Mentioned accessibility setting (2nd from top):
