Daydream Issue - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

utorrent stops downloading when screen goes off?

This is pretty irritating that I can't figure this one out... so I'm running CM of that has anything to do with this problem. Utorrent stops downloading when the screen shuts off... I've used utorrent on probably 10 other devices and never had this issue before. "Keep WiFi on during sleep" is set to always, and I have also tried turning off WiFi optimization. Also I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail. Anybody know what I could be missing here? Thanks!

Can't you just adjust your screen settings to never turn the screen off? Leave it charging while downloading?

I could do that I guess, but there has to be something simple I'm missing. I have been using utorrent for a couple years, and every other device, including the previous gen. N7 and the N10 never gave me any issues.. This without ever messing with any settings. It just downloaded in the background, screen off or on.
same problem with my lg g3 but my lg gpad does not face this problem it is annoying letting the screen on all the time.
battery optimization might cause this....

SOLVED: Stay connected when device sleeps (EVR-AL00)

PROBLEM SOLVED
Mate 20X (EVR-AL00; Build no. 9.0.0.136). I left my phone at home while downloading the new games via our Wi-Fi. But when I got back, I noticed that it has not downloaded any more data since I left it.
The culprit? The option Stay connected when device sleeps under the battery settings is DISABLED (neither ON nor OFF). Anyone else has this experience? What can be done about it?

@the_passerby5981 I figured it out, and boy your going to hate sending yours back, I was right, it is tied to something. I kept thkinking and kept coming back to this thread knowing you and I were missing something, and I found it from your screenshot and others, then tested it on mine and bingo. The reason its disabled is because it is tied to the SIM card. So that setting is tied to a sim card, and it didnt work on yours or mine because we were both testing it out without a SIM, and as soon as I put mine in to see if I was right, it enabled to turn on or off.

BUG FOUND! (Problem solved).
Android 8 had the option under WLAN and option to disable staying connected to WLAN and MOBILE as separate.
In Android 9, they are baked together under Battery. Thus, Stay awake when device sleeps gets DISABLED WHEN NO SIM IS INSERTED.

That's really strange have you ever restarted the phone since the new update. If that doesn't work you can try to reset all settings and see if that works there's no reason why yours is blocked and other people's aren't unless you have some kind of aggressive battery manager or something.

Resetting the settings did nothing. Gonna give a shot at resetting the phone. I didn't tinker with any other settings coz I wanted the phone to be up and running at once. It only happened that I hit a snag with this issue.

Yes I have the same Phone and build number but I can toggle the "stay connected when device is asleep"tab on and off
1. So, there are about 5 users here with the same model number (EVR-AL00) and build number (9.0.0.136). Some can toggle "Stay connected while device sleeps", while--like me--hughey2k2 cannot. I cannot.
2. If it were a software problem, then all of us should have the same experience.
3. Does this point to, possibly, a hardware-related problem peculiar to the specific production batch? (Just to spell it out I mean, hughey2k2's phone were produced in the batch and there was a problem in production--possibly hardware--that could be the cause).
Comments?
EDIT: hughey2k2's unit does not have the same problem.

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

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..

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:

Redmi Note 8 Pro Screen Calibration (warm temperature)

Hi,
I received my RN8 Pro just yesterday (22nd Oct) (India).
The first thing I noticed is the screen quality.
I find the screen is calibrated a tad bit warmer than usual. Even if you go to the screen settings and tweak it to 'cool', it still remains yellowish.
I came from OnePlus5, which had an AMOLED screen (not fHD/SuperAmoled). There the screen was obviously more crisp, I don't really expect that here. However, the calibration looks bit different if I hold these 2 phones side by side.
What I want to know is, is this just my RN8 Pro, or others also feel the same?
Also, in MIUI where is the 'night light' setting, where I can either manually or automatically turn the screen hue warmer? It's one of the main features in OxygenOS. Actually, the current RN8P calibration looks like 'night light' is already set.
Issue summary:
1) Daytime screen temp looks like as if the 'night mode'/'night light' is already ON. (Note, I don't mean 'reading mode', that's different)
2) Night time screen temp gets very yellowish, almost as if the 'reading mode' is on
3) Screen calibration (warm/default/cool) doesn't change it a lot
4) Can not find the setting to turn off the 'night mode' in #1
Thanks.
In RN8P you can find Night Light in "Reading Mode" in Display option, it turns the screen hue warmer. I'm not sure about the warm color. May "Reading mode" is enabled which is causing this. Try to check that option.

Yes. And there is no quick way to disable the night time extra yellow tint.
You think it would be eligible for a replacement?
If you could compare it to another rn8 pro and see an obvious difference then yes you should claim for warranty.

If I find mine is an exceptional issue, I'll try to get it replaced, though I feel that may not exactly come under their replacement policy.

Try enabling and disabling it. turn off schedule option if it is enabled.
Check whether night light settings are there in developer option or not
Tried all the enable disable combinations, set as disabled right now, can say it works or not only after the sunset.
And, can't find any related option in the developers setting.

It's 10 pm for me, I hope someone else having phone confirm this too.
Looks like mine got fixed on its own. No more automated yellow tint.
Possibility#1: Xiaomi pushed some OTA
Possibility#2: I forcedly changed the 'good night read' schedule to some random time. 'ON' from 11pm to 1am, and kept the scheduler 'ON'. So, it didn't turn yellow at 6pm (the approx sunset time). Once it's past 6, I turned off everything there. It didn't turn yellow. Rebooted. Didn't turn yellow. Will observe again tomorrow.
