So, while I have my phone on my desk the Always on Display will occasionally disappear leaving me with a blank screen. The only thing that gets the phone to wake is any type of alert/notification or physical push of the power button. I have Double Tap to check phone enabled, and when the AOD is active it will work, but when AOD does its little disappearing act, it wont.
Anyone else having this problem?
I know that the AOD is set to turn off when the phone is in my pocket and I determined that the sensor is in the top left part of the screen, but there is nothing blocking the sensor when AOS decides to turn off. I'm almost certain the issue is tied to that feature... unless I just have a defective phone.

Have you been messing with Immersive Mode where you hide the nav/status bars?
mine does this occasionally too. not sure why. i assumed it was an unfortunate side effect of setting my phone to immersive mode.
Did you install Greenify? I experienced a similar issue with Greenify installed.

You can fix the immersive mode causing hangups by running this command.
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
can use .full for full immersive, .navigation to hide nav bar, and .status to hide status bar
Thanks for the tips, all. I am not running any third party apps to alter anything stock on the phone. I'm not exactly sure what immersive mode is or how to activate it, but I haven't changed any settings in the phone other than your typical changes like font size, wallpapers and notification tones.
I do have an app called Calls Blacklist to block unknown and private calls, which Ive been getting a lot of lately. Perhaps that app's not playing nice with the AOD?

No should just be able to run the command I posted above
I narrowed it down to the Call Blocker app. Just applied the November security patch and now it happens everytime the app blocks an incoming call. I haven't uninstalled the app yet, but when I do I will update the thread to confirm my theory.
Thanks to everyone for their input.

Anyone else have this problem with the icon in the status bar of the talkback icon showing up in settings saying that it is on?
I check the settings and it is definitely off but the icon remains.
I've restarted the device and reset the icon by turning it on and back off, but eventually the icon finds itself back on randomly.
It's pissing me off.

Same problem here . Usually happens after a restart. Only way I get rid of it is by enabling it and disabling it again (though operating in Talkback mode is a bit of a work and takes a bit of understanding of how to operate...like using using two fingers to swipe the screen and double tap instead of a single tap to select an option. Hence I would not recommend my way of getting rid of the icon, unless you know what you are doing ).
Samsung should really come up with a fix of this annoying bug.
Happen to me as well until I uninstall all apps that use this method to push notifications.
I.e. go launcher notification plugin

I have a SGN2, unrooted. It runs Android version is 4.1.2. I use a utility to toggle on/off the lock screen, "SwitchPro Widget". My lock mode is "Pattern Lock".
SwitchPro works perfectly in toggling many of the state variables. I notice a "bug", but I don't think it is attributed to SwitchPro - I think it might be of Android.
Situation where things work properly:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I close the listing, without opening any individual notification message, then the lock screen remains toggled off. Good, no change as expected.
Situation where things mysteriously change:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I select an individual notification message from the list, then the lock screen mysteriously toggles on, and demands me to enter my unlock pattern code, before viewing the individual notification. The is bad - what is causing the lock screen state to be toggle?
Has anyone else encountered this?
Any ideas on how this can be remedied?
You could try simply turning off the security in the android settings, instead of trying to use a widget to do it.
Most apps that claim they can turn off your lock settings, usually can't. Android won't let them do it permanently. If you reboot, you will need to re-run the app, but before you can do that, you'll need to enter the code.
You can however, simply go into the android settings and turn it off manually. Then it will be permanent until you go back and turn it on again.

I have encountered this numerous times and it can be frustrating. If you are rooted, you can install Xposed Framework and install the Notification Direct Launcher module. This will prevent this from happening, works like a charm.

Is there a way to adjust the delay in auto hide of the navigation and notification areas?
Additionally to anyone using immersive mode. Does it sometimes prevent the phone from waking for a moment? I push the power button or fingerprint sensor and the screen doesn't wake. Double clicking power will open the camera though

Works great for me. I downloaded Nougat / Oreo Quick Settings from the play store and followed the instructions to make it a quick setting toggle. And then ran this command https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73629247&postcount=2 which said fixed lag...
Thanks. Will test that on my pixel. I assume it'll respond the same as 2 xl
Many times after completing a call, moving the phone away from my ear, the clock alarm setup is displayed and I have clear it. Apparently somehow I am activating it during the call. For the life of me, I can not determine how it happens.
Anyone else experience the same, and if so, how do you prevent it from occuring?
TIA

If you swipe down from the status bar to show the notifications panel then tap on the time, it will take you to the alarm panel for the clock app. Maybe something is keeping the screen active even though it's off for the call. The swipe or double tap to wake feature on some of the custom kernels can keep the screen active for touches even though the screen is off
Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly

UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...
