I don't have a backup phone so kinda hard to do, nor does it do it often.

i dont think so its a ambient display, it is screensaver that sometimes shows up. i am also facing same, so just turn off your screensaver in display->screensaver

It's curious, yesterday an WhatsApp notification appeared at my lockscreen as a ambient display notification.
I didn't even downloaded some application to do it and now it's not happening anymore.
It was an isolated event lol

Daydream Issue

So I just got this phone and upgraded from Nexus 4. I really liked when the phone was charging how it would show just the time but dimmed. When i charge the G3 it just dims the home screen and stays there. Never goes to daydream or sleep and shows the time. Very annoying. I tried turning on "either" or "charging' on the daydream setting, but no luck. Anyone else have issues?
Yeah mine doesn't start automatically either. I have to manually start it.

Kind of defeats the purpose. I dont need my home screen, which stays in one spot, causing burn in while my phone charges.
Doubt burn-in will be an issue, but yeah it's annoying. I use Ocean HD which is an amazing live wallpaper which has a daydream option. Still doesn't start auto though.
Did you change the settings within day dream.. There are 3 options. Docked, charging, or both
None of them seem to make a difference.
Hmm will try it out and let you know

Just tried it out..its working for me
So it starts automatically when you plug it in to charge?
Yes sir
Hmmm. Sucks for me I guess.

Thats weird. Doesn't do jack for me no matter what i select. Its not a huge deal but i expect things to work when i pay this much for them.
Fixed!! There is an option under developer options that says screen will never time out while charging or soemthing to that effect. It was prechecked for some reason. I unchecked it and daydream now works!

screen waking on 4.0.1

Hi guys,
I updated ota to OOS 4.0.1 at the weekend and on the whole, I'm pretty satisfied.
There is one little niggle that I have which is the ambient display waking seemingly without cause every few minutes, even when in airplane mode!
I suppose I could turn it off but I quite like the feature. Any ideas as to what could be happening?
For info, I'm running stock, never rooted.

Do you have any persistent notifications?

Is there a way to keep your screen from waking if you have persistent notifications?

No nothing, just battery info

Well, battery info IS a persistent notification, so that's the problem here.

There are no settings for ambient display so sadly there's nothing you can do. You can either turn off ambient display or get rid of ALL notifications. While there is anything, the screen will keep turning on. It's annoying, yes ...
Would be great if they made ambient display ignore low priority notifications (which persistent are). Maybe try raising a ticket with OnePlus and requesting a change in next update. Can't hurt

I kindda had similar issues. it was on 4.0 maybe. I'm not sure. then flashed 4.0.2, it's okay now.

Ambient display picking-up absolutely not working

Hey everybody,
is ambient display working for anybody when not set as 'always' on and only to pop up when picking up the device?
The display lightens up when I get a notification. It very rarely lightens up when picking up the device (with pending notifications) and it nearly never lighten shows the clock when picking the device up with no notifications (this should be the case, too right?)
I recall this behaviour being more consistent in the beginning when i got this phone some days ago. Now its like ambient display isn't really working
Anyone can relate?

CANNNOT relate.
My IS working when I pick it up & ambient is set to off.
Might have to factory restore it & see if it will work under these conditions.
Try it first under safe mode.

Not sure why you are taking what I wrote the wrong way.
Yes my typing was off but not my grammar (spelled 'Cannot' incorrectly & used MY when I meant mine)
& this from a non-native speaker also.
Oh well, I don't have the problem you have.

Active display keeps turning off

I'm not sure what changed, but active display with start off on, then disappear. A reboot didn't help
Edit: double tap to wake also stopped working

Sounds like it could be a proximity sensor issue. Maybe it's somehow covered by your case or screen protector so the phone thinks it's in your pocket all the time? Just a thought.

Sounds like a software glitch. Bout all I can suggest is a factory reset, or flash the factory image. Was this a result of an ota or did you update it?
same happens to mine. It happens when the battery is low, but at "random" times too. It's like the AOD app in dozing.

I was not posting that I have an issue with aod, but rather help those with it to trouble shoot and resolve their issue.
Nope I don't use battery saver. Another issue I noticed that started with 8.1 is that my AOD will rotate to landscape sometimes. I've been having other issues recently too, may try for an RMA soon. My sketchy GPS is getting on my nerves

Using holey light?
You mean like this?
This is normal. And this is from a note 9
Also there is no burn in from AOD because
AOD moves very little after a few secs so it doesnt stay in same position.

Yeah and no, like that but not on locked screen . When i turn off screen i see only that message at the bottom, nothing else, and AOD and screensaver is turned off. Is that some sort of forced AOD only when charging cause i would like to turn that off, dont need that status. Weird thing is that i didnt have that on S10e..

sorry for going off-topic: what app are you using to show the LTE band in the lock screen?!
Ya its driving me nuts too, no idea how to turn it off. My note 9 does not do this.
Yes, omg, I need to turn this off too. Even if it does shift over a couple pixels it will cause burn-in in that general area. This is a no-no

Not correct. With the Note 9, you can have AOD turn off after a certain time, when AOD turned off the entire screen went black. So for me, at 11pm my screen was solid black and by 7am my AOD was back on.
Kept me from having a mini light during the night. I am not a fan of this being forced on. Mostly due to the high possibility of screen burn in as it doesn't shift much.
I was able to do it! However it requires not having Always on display. Here's how it's done. I purchased package disabler pro which is about $3 for the app. I then disabled always on display entirely from the app. I figured just turning it off in the settings app wont do it since it's always running in the background. However disabling it with package disabler seemed to do the trick and now I no longer get the charging indicator while the screen is off.
You could have done it with disabling/uninstalling with ADB instead, and for free.

Which package disabler pro app are you using? link?
Is there any more "normal" way to do that?
Maybe they'll fix that with future update, but that gonna be soon coz we will end up with burned screens.

I got the package disabler from here https://www.packagedisabler.com/ . It's kind of shady so I advise to use PayPal. You will need to enable the option to sideload applications, do a search for 'unknown sources' on the phone, should pop-up right away. Download the app from the site, search it with the file explorer and install it, you should also receive a code in your email after you pay, paste it. Scroll down until you see 'Always on Display' and select disable. This worked for me. The app is more than $3.00 as they charge in Euros. Hope this help :cyclops:

Don't even need ADB, can use "CCSWE App Manager" from the play store.
