I've notice that when I disable the monitor (by using some apps like above) ,
the system will continue to play the video without any issue , however , if the subtitle is not hard burn into the video , the subtitle will be fail to continue to display .
It will shows the last subtitle before the monitor goes blank , but fail to load the subtitle afterward .

Does anyone have problem with Automatic low brightness. When i set it, it works but when a notification comes it goes brighter (this is normal) but after 15 seconds when it goes AOD mode sometimes screen not goes dark again even in low light environment. it keeps itself bright. Then i need to push the one of the buttons to awake the watch then auto brightness low works well as it should be. I dont thing this watch has a good light sensor like s7 or s7 edge phone.

Although i notice this too, it is not sensor's fault, watch does have an excellent ambient sensor. You can test ambient sensor in:
Settings -> Gear Info -> About Device -> Tap several (5 if i remember correctly) times to Software Version -> dial *#0*# -> Sensor -> Scroll down to light sensor -> Click display -> It will show you the raw and lux values from sensor.
Now the problem is at s/w side, OS is not polling sensor readings while it is in always on display mode, so watch stays exactly at the same brightness level as it goes into the aod and since notifications keeps a screen lock that brightens the screen it enters aod with a bright screen. We should report this to the samsung for a fix probably.

Did you change anything except that notification settings? I tried changing notification settings but it didn't make any difference. But flashing my watch did solve the problem or it seems so, so far. I was at R760XXU1APK6 firmware i flashed R760XXU1APK7 now. I don't know if it is fixed because of firmware difference or if it was caused by an application on the watch and flashing got rid of it. I'll update this post if it returns in any point.
Edit: I used the watch during the day today and it is back so it wasn't about firmware or apps after all. Now i regret flashing.
I don't want to use power button, double tap or simulate that. I just want to disable display for some time and then turn it back on. Is this possible? Thanks.
Edit: this app does it flawlessly with root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-screen-backlight-off-xda-exclusive-t3037380
Objectives
1. Apps should be running in foreground thinking I'm using phone.
2. Only display module should be affected.
3. Android itself should think that the display is turned on and should play YouTube videos (though i dont want youtube.. Its just an example plz don't comment YouTube vanced)..
Possible solutions:
1. Rename display driver files (idk location).
2. Make brightness 0 (idk how to do this.. Idk default value too)
Ps: even if there is adb command plz tell me that.. Along with command to turn display on again lol
Double tap to sleep and double tap to wake
??? I don't want my android to sleep. I want to just disable the display not put phone on sleep like double tap, power button etc..
Use the game mode...it has a screen off feature...just manually add the app as a game you want to use this feature on. Even sound works...just screen turns of...helps with YouTube for free background play ?
I'm not on stock MiUi rom bro I'm using syberia os.. Thanks for idea btw..
Break the screen
If you're on custom rom, then find one with smart pixel and disable around 80-90% of the pixels
Thanks but smart pixels is useless for non amoled phones..
Do u want to take picture of someone secretely??
If so then there is already an app for that which disables the screen and then u just tap anywhr on the screen whn the display is off and snap any photo/vid.
Lol no nothing like that.. I just want to disable my display panel to watch hotstar app for long times.. I don't need video only audio... So I wanna disable display panel to save battery.
My god the OP has a lot of issues for an absurd problem
Found solution. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-screen-backlight-off-xda-exclusive-t3037380
add to game turbo you can turn off display and running game/on background with display turn off..
Dears,
I'm getting an issue related to videos. When I try to watch a movie, normally with Amazon Prime ( but also with Netflix even with the setting 'play in fullscreen' enabled ), my phone continue to show 2 black bars on left and right side. And the video of course is not shown in a complete full screen mode... On Prime, I try the 'zoom' option but faces of actors have been cutted often.
I can't understand why and what to do. Of course the setting 'fullscreen' is enabled for every video app in the app settings.
Someone has got my same issue ?
- dimensions of PocoX3 screen are 2400x1080 pixels
- fullHD video has 1920x1080 pixels (16:9 aspect)
- if you want to see your video in 1:1 you will have 240 pixels wide black bars on either side of your phone screen in landscape mode
- if you zoom your video you'll loose black bars but your video will be crop on top and bottom, exactly as you described
- completely normal
- if you can live with distorted image, you can with some video players stretch (or fill) you screen in a way no part of video will be cut off (as I do not use amazon nor netlix not sure their players can do this)
Hi
I had a Green Vertical Line and had a display replaced by a Local provider claiming that the display is original.
Can u confirm, what is the way to confirm if the display is really original or not ?
What i can see is the screen is smooth and using the app "Screen Test Pro" took the screen Information.
Can someone compare with any original display using the software and see if the same can be revalidate if its same for you.... would help.
Also i have few query post i get the screen replaced.
1. Proximity Sensor -During the phone call, i dont see the screen getting switched off... Is that due to display changed ? Any setting for that ?
2. Finger Print sensor - on Screen not working. I will be going back and he will calibrate the finger print sensor and it will work fine as per him.
Thanks in advanced.... Seek your inputs.

Screen Test Pro - Apps on Google Play
Query the phone flat screen information, hardware information
play.google.com
Sreen Test Pro Link on Google Play for getting Screen Info which i attached.
Sometimes, when background play is on, and the screen is turned off and on while the video is playing, MX Player will change the selected aspect ratio to Stretch.
Steps to reproduce:
- Set aspect ratio to "Fit to Screen"
- Set Background Play on
- Start playing video
- With video still playing, press side button to turn off phone's screen
- Press side button to turn phone screen back on
- Unlock phone with fingerprint
- Aspect ratio has changed to "Stretch"
I've noticed that this doesn't happen if the phone is unlocked directly from the always-on display with the fingerprint scanner, the lock screen has to be displayed first.
Phone and debugging information are the same as my other thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bug-bluetooth-media-buttons-not-working.4454321/
[Edit 2022-09-27: Just tested again with my reproduction steps, didn't seem to do it this time. I think this is resolved. I occasionally get issues where the player stops locking the orientation (Landscape video suddenly turns Portrait when rotating phone, when the setting has that locked), but I think that is unrelated.]
