[Q] Edge Light Feature Actually Working?

Is the Edge Light actually working for anyone? I don't see a light for messages even though I switched back to the stock app from Textra, and the only thing that actually seems to work is the Information Stream, but even that doesn't show my missed notifications.

Did you add 5 contacts to the edge already?

Is that required for the light? Nothing in the documentation mentions that.

It works for me and I have less than 5 contacts for that..

if you don't have a contact connected to a colored notification, then you wont ever see that color/notification..

Whatever contact is set thy color will be shone. Other it will be white

Does it only work if the phone is face down? Or is it all the time?

OnePlus 3 loses much energy when it's inside my pocket

Hey people,
my OnePlus 3 loses much energy (up to 3 percent in 5 Minutes) if it’s inside my pocket (!) - especially then if I move at the same time.
I have already disabled the gesture functions - however, the problem remains.
Actually the problem can only be reproduced in my pockets
- latest Stock-ROM
- no root or other deep system changes
Any ideas how to narrow down this issue?
Best Regards,
Chris

dont use it as your pocket vibrator then...
have you checked the smart lock? it can keep your phone unlocked while you carry it.

Does it only happen when the screen / fingerprint scanner are against your body? Maybe they are detecting skin through your clothes and constantly trying to do something?

This. I think this is causing the issue. If you are slightly warm/damp/moist (someone reading hates that word ), it will try and scan your leg. My guess is perhaps it's not checking the ambient/proximity sensor to see if it's in the pocket or not.
I had this issue on the OnePlus 2 as well, although not as bad.

Thanks guys!
I'll try to wear the phone outward inside my pocket to see whether the problem still occurs.
Btw, i did some tests via "GSam Battery Monitor" and figured out the main-process which is producing the problem:
It's the "kernel". Does the kernel controls one of the mentioned sensors (ambient/proximity sensor) ?

Just be more wary of the screen being knocked/bumped!
Yeah that handles hardware as far as I know (might also be under other processes if they use it too though)

Alright, thanks for your quick feedback.
I guess i will reset my phone now...

I'm pretty sure it's the fingerprint sensor. Really sad to see that OP3 has this issue too, this started happening to me on OP2 too after the marshmallow update. They made the fingerprint scanner much more sensitive, greatly improving it's speed but this started happening. The workaround is to keep the phone in your pocket screen facing outwards...

I have the same problem. It should be fixable via system update to not activate the fingerprint sensor while the proximity sensor detects something.
Or am i missing something here?

Same issue here

Same issue. It's kind sad that OP can't handle this to prevent waking up using proximity sensor like it happens with duoble tap. I hope that they will release an update soon.

Is there anything in settings called "pocket mode"?? a friend has a THL phone that has pocket mode which stops the phone from doing anything when it detects its in a pocket

Nope, I've searched whole settings and there no option like 'pocket mode'.

same issue and the screen is showing the message "too many attempts. try again later" i can't use my smartwatch because the phone make a call or sent a message it self in my pocket.

I've created an e-mail to support with issue describe. Will update thread while getting reply.

Yes this is a bad bug which OP need to fix asap.

So what's the solution to the problem, finally?

We simply keep the phone face up in our pockets? That seems like a quick fix we shouldn't have to live with...

You would think that priority would be given to the proximity sensor. If triggered it would disable the finger print input.

proximity sensor

Hi, my 5x proximity sensor is not working.
screen stays on when in calls and is really annoying.
I`ve used aida64 and the sensor doesnt register and stays on 5cm.
I`m on latest stock nougat.
Any ideas or is the sensor dead?

You provided little information to go from.
Version? Using a special Rom? Update recently? Device get wet? any other changes or you just noticed this?

latest STOCK nougat. 7.1.1
Never wet.
fingerprint sensor doesnt work.
screen was replaced by me.
proximity sensor doesnt work out of the phone. ( tested with aida64 with motherboard out of shell.

Hi!!!
I have exactly the same error.
Momentarily, in accessibility set the power key, hang up the call. This setting allows you to hang up the call with the display off

Is there a code for service menu on 5X to test the sensor?
I`ve tried google but the only code I found that works is *#*#4636#*#* and that has no tests.

I would be very much interested to see a picture of that feature working on Zenfone 5z.

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

I tried turn on/off AOD , screensaver , that message is still there and im lil bit afraid of burn in . Anyone noticed the same and am i worried with reason?How can i turn it off? Thx in advance

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.
