Ambient display picking-up absolutely not working - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

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)

Oh well, I don't have the problem you have.

[TESTING]LCD panel improvements

Hey ho fellas ,
I was working on adding power management + initialisation/de-initialisation sequence for rhodium´s lcd panel. Till now rhodium´s panel was always on ( initialised ) in deep-sleep aswell those meaning that the display was never de-initialised and was consuming more battery then normal.
I would like that all of you users that are willing to help to test the kernel ( zImage+modules + latest commits included ) and give some feedback.
Test the power on/off sequence, leave it sleeping for ~30mins and unlock it,...then give me here some feedback on your lcd panel behaviour.
zImage + modules ( mediafire or attachment ):
http://www.mediafire.com/?ny18wpc3z8utxrf
Prerequisites:
- Backup your data.img if you have some valuable data on it ( anyway it should not affect it )
- Delete pm_sleep cmd from your startup.txt
What do you mean by this?

Do you mean that although the display is off, the panel is still on? Or am I getting this the wrong way? If you could explain this to me then I am willing to test

I think that even though it looks like the screen is turned off it still draws power, so this should eliminate that issue allowing better battery life
Yea the way it was explained to me (by the OP on IRC) is that you can't really tell necessairly that the panel isn't being properly de-initialized... I questioned that at first as well.
I played with the new zImage, seems pretty smooth. Had a few hiccups on wakeup, but nothing crazy. Test it out guys, let the OP know how it worked!!

Does it matter for the testing if you use pm sleep 2 or 1? Just curious. Testing now

It would better that pm_sleep has the default value.
Will give this a try as I go about my day today. I don't OC and use pm_sleep=1 yet still get terrible battery life (b/c I'm a power-user, on e-mail constantly). Any positive change will be wonderful We'll see how it goes.
My findings:
- Device does not go into standby, but I used sleep 2, maybe that is the cause.
- The Led keeps blinkin red. (never seen that before on android)
- The device reboots itself.
and a really negative effect is that I lost all my settings... My launcher pro settings, setcpu, whatsapp...
Hi,
As far as i understood there is no way to know exactly is display in standby mode or not?
I did some tests for now with light sensor ON and OFF (in WM) so here we go (PM is set to 2).
With sensor turned ON in WM:
After going standby screen gone completely off, no glow from backlight in dark environment like it was in previeous kernels and here is an answer to my guess above, screen IS truly going into standby. Also I've noticed some strange behaviour, the debugging led which was intended to go green in standby, randomly (i guess) flashes in around 2 Hz frequency with amber and then stays for 3-4 secs and cycleing like this, no green at all. Returning from standby is not OK, after pressing end button screen is not turning on as expected BUT, after touching at the place where unlock or mute sliders should be screen wakes, so i can assume that after pressing end button screen is just not turning on but touch panel does. Wake on call works as before, as like as wake from HWkeyboard slide (both with 2-3 sec delay). Shutdown actually turn the phone OFF.
It seems With sensor turned OFF in WM, phone acts same way.
I was testing with Matthew's RAR - Android v2.2 Froyo: BLAZN from Aug 30, 2010

1. Try deleting pm_sleep from your startup.txt ( then the default value will be used - i recommend that ) or put 1
2. never seen that on android
Anyway i am really sry for the inconvenience regarding launcer pro, kernel change should not affect those kind of settings :s

Yeah its a common problem for now we are investigating this.
So i have a confirmation that the screen is really powered off?
Anyway guys try putting 1 into pm_sleep or deleting it from startup.txt (i recommend the 2nd choice ).
I ran into an interesting problem however I did not see the previous post...
Several time it went into standby (I assume) and the screen was pitch black meaning the backlight was not on. To get it out of standby, I woul click the end button like normal. after a couple of hours I pulled the phone out of my holdster, and it was abnormally hot. I do not have an overclock and my pm sleep is set to 1. I did not press the screen to see if it would respond so maybe that is what was being mentioned in the last post. None of the buttons would bring it back to life and the LED was amber and solid, where typically it would flash with this new zimage and modules. I will try to get it back to that state and see if I can click the screen even though it is dark. One thing that worries me is the battery though. Could this be damaging to it? Even when I did have it overclocked it never reached that temperature.
Anything else I can do to help troubleshoot?
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention I am on a Sprint RHOD400
I'm on the RHOD400 model, no OC, pm_sleep=1
Couldn't really get it to be stable, had to switch back to WinMo for the day (and trust me, that's desperation ). Once restarted in my pocket without any interaction on my part. I would press the end key to turn on screen, and had it auto reboot at that point as well. Also got a "sleep of death" twice and had to restart. While in your kernel I didn't have notification LEDs as well (not even for power events), vs the guy above that had blinking red.
I'm sure you'll get it eventually, keep up the hard work!
Hi!
Any news? Are we gonna wait for new kernel with committed code or it development is stalled?

[Q] TV noise effect occasionally after unlock.

Good day.
Like the title says, occasionally I get a TV noise effect, the time I unlock my phone. Not life breaking, but does bug me, to be honest. At first, I thought it was related to the "Screen On/Off" animation, but enabling/disabling it didn't help anyhow. Any advice how to get rid of it?
Didn't find any info on the web regarding this, so came here to ask.
My specifications:
CM 7.1.0.1
HCDR.Kernel v4.2
HBoot - 6.01.1002
Radio - 3.35.19.25
S-OFF
Hmm... Is this with the phone set to silent/vibrate or ring?

With the default profile, when sound is on. The TV effect lasts less than a second, just before the lockscreen appears and it seems to occur, when the phone has been lying around for a while, like the first unlock in several minutes/hours.
Also, I have a "Launcher Pro Plus" and "LunarUI Black" theme installed, if that helps.

Does it still make the sound if you put it on silent? I don't think the launcher/theme have anything to do with this, but try another launcher/theme and see if that fixes it.

I think you misunderstood me. It's not related to the sound. I get a screen noise, like you know, on those old TVs, when the TV lost the signal.

Yeah, I know, it's the default sound for the Screen On/Off animation. Which means it is related to the sound. However, why you still get it when you have the animation turned off is a mystery. Did you follow any of the advice I gave you?
After playing around with the launcher/theme, nothing happened. So, a few days ago I replaced the kernel again, from "HCDR.Kernel v4.2" back to "InfinityPLAY v10". And the screen noise is gone!

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.

I don't know anyone around who has another RNP8.
I am waiting for others to comment here, for their own devices.
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.

Tap to wake not working?

I also have this issue, noticed it seems to be something to do with the ambient light sensor? If I cover it up double tap or tap to wake won't work ( like it's in pocket mode).
Pocket mode is no longer an option so it's like it's built in now?
But yea for me it seems like it works fine in the day, but soon as night comes along and I'm in dimmer environments it becomes flakey

Hey guys,
same for me since today. Until some hours ago all was working fine.
But why you think it's related to dimmer/light. Because for me there is no difference when I turn on the light in room or change the timezone in settings. For now it's just not working (like broken)
I rebooted (also turned off and on) several times, turned off and on the inactivity display settings and some other tests, but nothing helped.

A through clean up resolves the problem for my phone
i am facing the same issue with my phone. sadly i have noticed it is a reoccurring problem and it has something to do with the sensors. i tried all the fixes like toggling tap to wake, toggling face unlock assists light, clearing the cache and app data but nothing helped my case. factory reset is of no help either so i'd say don't even bother with that.
what really helped me fix this issue multiple times was something rather unexpected. what you should do is take off your phone's cover, get a wet towel, and thoroughly clean the phone all around, being especially thorough around the front facing camera and the top two edges. I give it extra attention around the front side being careful of the top speaker and after a couple of cleans and wipes both tap to wake and lift to wake starts working perfectly fine. then i put on the cover and voila it all good. Give it a try and let me know if it helped resolve this issue for you.

Hey!
The (single) tap to wake funktion will show up the ambient display, so that u can see clock, messages and use the fingerprintsensor if u want to enter.
It's a quick awake of screen to see Infos with minimal usage of display resources.
DT2W (double tab to wake) is the same as pressing the power button. So this will fully turn on screen into the lockscreen and also activate the face recognition. (for sure fingerprintsensor can be used, too)
BUT you can only activate one of those things and it will automatically turn off for example tab to wake if you activate DT2W.
Personally I like to use the single tab awake for ambient display, as I always can full activate by power button, which would be a dublicate function then.

No issues here. The colored bars show up when the screen is off and a notification comes in. I do have always on display, well, always on....not sure if that matters or not.
Mine doesn't seem to work either on the NA phone. And I can't even tell, are they supposed to light up just once or do they act more like the old notification LEDs?

yeah I tried that but to no avail, is it lighting up with any app or only certain ones? for example, I use fairemail for email and threema/signal for messaging, and it does not light up for any. moreover, it doesn't light up for anything at all, very frustrating.
I've noticed it for notifications from the stock messaging app and Gmail, but haven't seen anything else trigger it yet.
It's not that bright and only does it once so if you blink you will miss it!
I tested it with a calendar notification, not sure what else it works on. Don't remember seeing it for WhatsApp
Eta: it does work on most things, just miss it unless you are looking for it.

It's not that bright and only does it once so if you blink you will miss it!
I tested it with a calendar notification, not sure what else it works on. Don't remember seeing it for WhatsApp

Only does it once, you're right. Basically pointless lol.

Im not entirely sure how well this works, but I have messed around with this app previous. I used an app on the playstore called AOA by newGen Mobile, its not quite an ambient display but it is an Always on Display app that enables you to customize your horizon lights as you see fit(color, duration, pattern and such). There is a free version of it if you want to at least try it out.
Mine works fine, but i'm on Color OS c36.
Too bad that is only 3 colors : blue, red, gold.
