Max is not max on this phone and it drives me nuts (I like my screen bright). Is there a way to get max brightness instead of auto brightness even when it is supposed to be turned off?

It seems there is a bug on this phone. I talked to Samsung and ATT, and they said I should change the phone.
It is very annoying when you take a picture in sunny day. You cannot see the screen because of the max brightness is not max.
And also sometime, the screen go to real max without any smooth change and immediately dim back. so disappointed.
I dont know how to fix it, but I will go to change the phone accordingly.
I will keep you update.
Is it just me or is this feature absolutely useless? This is supposed to automatically display my notifications when I whip my phone out of my pocket, without pressing any buttons, but it only does so 25% of the time. It’s also supposed to do this when I lift my phone from my desk, but this also happens just as often. How can Google publicly flaunt a feature that works so amazingly poorly? Most of the time I’m forced to put my finger on the “Nexus Imprint” to unlock my phone because Ambient Display is so useless and, when doing this, I still don’t readily see the notifications because unlocking the phone takes me to the home screen!
Fail Google!
especially coming from moto x active display
First thing I did was turn it off and just use the notification LED instead.
Try AcDisplay from the Play Store, it works much better.
It works every time I pick up the phone. It just takes a whole second for it to light up. And while taking it out of the pocket, I usually tap the fingerprint sensor so I'm already unlocked and checking whatever I gotta check.

Mine is pretty hit or miss. It seems like Doze is getting in the way of it working. If I pick up my phone within a short time period of sitting it down, Ambient Display comes up pretty quickly. If I pick it up after it's been sitting for a while it takes it quite a while to figure out to turn on (and usually quite a bit of shaking around). Hopefully Google can fix it with a software update.
Agreed, it rarely comes on from a pocket, never has with a "nudge" for me. Kind of disappointing coming from a Moto X, but not a dealbreaker.
Wish it had a voice-wake feature...

I ended up just turning it off and using the LED light instead to conserve battery somewhat. I'm thinking the LED uses less than the LCD.

Ambient display is unreliable and therefore totally useless.
As an aside, I turned on the notification LED and it is huge and very bright.

:laugh: I found this thread while Googling how to turn Ambient Display off. BTW, it's ridiculously simple: Settings - Display - toggle Ambient Display off.
The ambient display on the Nexus 5X is absolutely pathetic. It very rarely works when it is supposed to and somehow gets triggered to turn the display on when the phone is just sitting untouched, with no incoming notifications. I find it more annoying than useful.
It's sad too because after using a Moto X for a couple of months, I now know how well ambient display can work when it's implemented correctly.

Yeah agreed. Shut off immediately. Only worked when I didn't need it to ha-ha
For those who turned off ambient display, were you using LightFlow to change the color of the LED? I attempted to use LightFlow to change the color, but I only got the white LED. I am stock and unrooted.
Definitely miss the 2013 moto x active display.
It checks the orientation of the phone. It works anytime you pick it up to the upright position (usb port facing the floor). I wish it worked with a tap on the screen.
It could work even better but I've found it to be useful. I also just like how it looks with the black and white lock screen.
It also doesn't seem to use much battery. I'm guessing that was the main consideration on a device using an IPS panel.
Has anyone else noticed, or can confirm this is how it works, that the ambient display only triggers when there is a lock screen? I have found it totally unreliable and even did a reset on my phone trying to fix it. Then as I was trying to get it to work by messaging my wife she asked if it only works when locked like her iPhone. . . .and lo and behold with my testing, it does only work while locked. Explains why after the factory reset it worked until I switched so that the power button doesn't automatically lock. This on target for anyone else? If so this just seems a terrible implementation and so easy to fix.
EDIT: Seems doesn't have to be locked but has to have some form of lock screen . . .i.e. swipe lock screen suffices. Anyone know if Smartlock can set to swipe instead of no lock screen?

Makes sense as it's only a black and white version of the notifications on the lockscreen.

Although not having a nexus 5x myself. I have seen from several reviewers that the ambient display does not trigger every time the phone is taken out. Unlike moto display it barely works. Also as the nexus 5x has an LCD panel ambient display is not battery efficient since it has to light up the black pixels unlike an AMOLED panel (nexus 6p,moto x pure). If this is the case when I do get this phone I would rather turn it off and just use LED light plus fingerprint sensor is incredibly fast and works 100% (from what I have heard) so not a big deal that ambient display doesn't work properly. It's really more disappointing on the nexus 6p were it can benefit from ambient display due to the AMOLED panel

Yeah only moto has a good ambient display. Nexus fails at that
So, I don't use Ambient Screen, but ever since the update to Marshmallow I got yesterday, i've noticed whenever I check my watch and the screen turns on for a split second it has the ambient screen look. Whatever notification i've got shows in the black outlined kind of look it does, and my dial is in its ambient screen mode phase. It's only a split second or so, before it flicks to normal. But it's never been like this before marshmallow, and it's a little annoying to see it flick between the ambient to the normal. Especially since I have ambient off.

Mine does the same thing. Also, the minute hand suddenly jumps when it updates to the correct time.
Same here. I don't like it. It's barely a 10th of a second, but its annoying. Changing watch faces does not fix it.
Mine does the same annoyin thing...
Whether could anyone attached clip that we all still do not update, see what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here. Not a fan of how unprofessional this looks. :/
Yeah its pretty gross.
****ing ugly, hope they fix that

Having the same problem.
+1 we cant even rollback the update. infact they probably wont even look at this forum (the official devs) how do we get this public
I get the same. I remember a similar issue shortly after it's release.
Same for me

Same here on my moto 360 1st gen, it shows the ambient screen for a split second before the normal watch face, this is annoying, I tried changing the watch face, turning on and off the ambien screen, etc. Nothing helps
Same with Moto 360 2015.... I guess it has to do with the DOZE mode in Marshmallow..
Try to set all elements value "Display" to Always in Watchmaker + remove all elements, that appear in Dim mode. Takes some time, but should be working.
Any news?
Same here in Italy... Very annoying

some solution for this error?
This is getting extremely annoying and the worst part is that i can not downgrade my moto to solve the problem. There has to be a solution
Any news guys? I'm desperate
Hi,
I have a new bought Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite and my notification LED light sometimes does not blink when there are notifications (e.g. WhatsApp messages).
That happens independent of how long the phone has been put away and independent of internet connection etc., the LED light only turns on in around 80% of all cases.
In the other 20% of cases, the light is not flashing, and when I unlock the phone I have a normal notification icon on the top of the screen.
I already checed all settings for notifications, everything seems to be fine.
maybe someone can help me?

Hi, for me deactivating Ambient display did the trick (Settings --> Display --> Advanced --> Ambient display (set it to Off).
Hope that helps.

hi
thanks for the tip, but it still sometimes doesnt light up.
Also, I noticed that sometimes it happens that the light goes on (as it should) when I receive a message, but after some time (15min+) the notification light disappears...
Could be a hardware issue as it works just fine for me.
so I will order another Xiamo Mi A2 Lite and look if the problem also occurs there.. :/
I had encountered this as well at times I thought it was just software issue.
Hey guys, I wanted to ask you guys, what is the problem with my Redmi Note 5 AI/Pro after Android 9 update?
I have a rare problem with my Redmi Note 5 AI/Pro/Globle version. The problem is that, my device does not adjust it's screen brightness even it's set to auto brightness control. And the peculiarly is that it goes down automatically if i adjust it to higher level and auto brightness is active but it does not come up even if I go to eclipse.
Mine works but it's still way too dim and reduces automatically after a while even if I force it brighter manually. I thinks it's related to pie adaptive brightness which can't be turned off in miui currently.
There's a magisk module (miui auto brightness) that helps a bit - it limits how dark the phone gets but the behavior is the same.
I've seen more than a couple bug reports related to that on miui forums, maybe they'll fix it.

Same here, have to do it manually.
Auto brightness works fine (brightness slider moving slowly but brightness adjustment is as expected in auto brightness mode)

Android Pie use a different algorithm to adjust brightness, it now encourage you on manual adjust the brightness yourself and AI will try to learn it instead of the old traditional sensor brightness.

Well I don't know what Google did with adoptive brightness or ambiant display but my Redmi Note 5 is just not working with this new feature and I don't know how to go back on to my older settings. This only forces me to every time go and adjust my display brightness manually. The worst thing is that i have to adjust brightness in the bright day light, like when i come out from a dark place and i just want to check any update I can't see my screen at all until I adjust the brightness to up. And to my surprise, sometimes when I scroll down the brightness bar to adjust it to an upper level I can see the bar is on the highest level but screen brightness has been lower from somewhere else, which I can't understand.
Somebody give me any good reason for Xiaomi's new auto screen brightness control system on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI after PEI update, why should I have it on my mobile when I have to adjust the screen brightness manually every time I want to check my mobile for anything. Either it's on #Xiaomi's part or #Google's but I don't want it on my device.
I can confirm that, with the 10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM rom the auto brightness function not working properly, it's horrible!
