Do you have battery saver on, because AOD doesn't work with battery saver on. If not them idk how to help you.

Hello i do have this problem also, i created a thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/help/lg-g7-plus-screen-issue-aod-fingerprint-t3954480 . Maybe you could spare a tought. Thanks in advance

Try reverting the display size back to the lowest setting. It worked for my wife's phone in bringing back AOD. Who knows a change in the font may also be creating the error.

[Q] Watch stuck in Battery Saver Mode

My Huawei watch dipped below 15% and a card appeared asking if I wanted to activate Battery Saver Mode. I did. Later, I charged my watch, but the battery saver card was gone and the mode was still activated. The screen will not stay on, (despite having "screen always on" enabled), and I do not get any vibrations or other alerts.
How can I manually deactivate Battery Saver Mode? I don't see it anywhere on the watch or the Android Wear app on my phone..
Maybe Phone Settings, Battery, drop down Battery Saver on/off...

Ya, tried power cycling as well. Might have to just reset.. ugh Pretty stupid to have a setting with no dedicated toggle. Makes no sense.

@gohamstergo did you find a solution to this one? I did the same thing when my watch showed the option 2 days back and now the always ON feature is gone and the screen turns itself off in 5 seconds. Its highly frustrating. Any help appreciated.
Look in the watch developer options for the Ambient enabled/disabled setting.

I don't think this is the same as ambient option of a watchface. The batter Saver mode turns off the display even before ambient face gets a change to kick in. I was using the same face for quite some time and I do know for sure that it has a ambient face. Heck, I even tried changing to another face to verify it. Nothing works.
By the way, I did find a similar question on Huawei watch forums https://community.gethuawei.com/devices/huawei_watch/f/65/t/3794 and it seems customer care is also clueless about the same and suggested Factory Reset (just because they didn't provide a way to change the setting, that bad)
In the watch developer options there is a battery optimization setting. Maybe this can control the battery saver mode.

I am sorry, could you guide me where is this watch developer options? Are these in the phone settings or the watch settings in Android Wear app?
-----------------------
EDIT: I found the developer options after enabling them. However inside Battery Optimation it has two sub-fields 1. Ambient Mode and 2. Google Play Services. For both of them it says Not Available

I just wiped the watch and will never activate the option again.

Found this on the Internet about disabling the Battery Saver Mode on another smartwatch:
Pull up the battery saver card and swipe left until you get to the screen that says to disable battery saver, then press it.
Finally it worked !!

Thanks. This worked. I half expected it to as others had to factory reset.
Once the battery hit 15% mark, Battery Saver card appeared and I could turn it off. However there was no option to disable it in total. I seem to remember that there was one before, may be went away with a update.
Anyways all is now good.

As I said in my first post "...the battery saver card was gone." That was the whole point of this thread...

The problem was that apparently nobody knew that the battery saver card (re)appears only when the battery charge falls under 15%...

Yes, well, it's hard to drain a fully charged battery down to 15% when the screen wont stay on to drain it. Quicker to wipe. Terribly planned feature.

Always On

Is it possible to make some kind of app or similar thing that would allow screen lock light fot notifications to be always on?
You can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson
In the lockscreen? If not try Caffeine

Well, there are some apps, but the problem is that they are not kernel related, so even if the screen doesn't consume that much because it's AMOLED, you'll notice an HUGE battery drain, because the phone should never go into deep sleep. Moreover if you keep the same pixels on for a long time, you'll burn them.

How was your experience using the app? I'm planning on getting the OP3T and would love it if it has AOD.
You might get 4 percent drain for a full 24 hours. I used an always on display app from the play store on my axon.. Definitely acceptable for the amount of time it's on.

Screen always remains ON. Does not sleep or turn off

Just flashed CleanstockMm today with borets kernel. Awesome and lighter ROM. But I have a screen issue. Screen always remains ON when I lock. It does not turn off whatever I do. Can anyone please help me here.

Hi, I'm facing the same issue with Resurrection Remix (7.1.2).
It mostly happens when:
. the device is charging
. due to sunlight, I turn off the auto brightness to use the maximum manual brightness
. sometimes when the cpu temperature is rising (but not sure if it's a consequence of the awake screen)
"Screen always on while charging" developer option and all Apps "Keep awake" permissions are disabled.
I guess/hope it's a charger issue, I still have the original plug, but not the cable (fast charging is correctly working), maybe the issue is caused by this reason but I'd like to compare experiences from others facing the same misbehavior.

You need to turn off Ambient display in display option, I was facing same issue now it's fixed.

A notifybuddy replacement for s20u?

Hello! I just got my s20U today and I noticed notifybuddy has some problems... for some reason, the first day battery stats showed my screen on time at 7hours, including 2.5 just from notifybuddy. The problem is, I didnt touch the cell at all for 4 hours, and during that time battery stats showed 1hour and 10min of screen on time due to notifybuddy. So its obvious to me that that app does something that will mess up with the real screen on time value. Now my question is, is there a similiar app working fine with s20u? Thank you!
You could try aodNotify

Thanks, tried it but theres a problem that i didnt have with notifybuddy.
With aodnotify you basically have the chance to have always on display set to a) on only when there are notifications or b) always on. Meanwhile, I want to have AOD only to show when i tap once on the screen. And unless I'm missing something, thats impossible with that app. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Double touch bug?

When the phone has been idle for a while, the double tap to turn on the screen does not work. It is normal?

Normal if you have super stand-by battery saving and stuff turned on.

Probably an issue with updates
Maybe the update we got a few days ago messed this up. Fingerprint is inconsistent sometimes as well. I have all those battery stuff turned off.

So, does it happen to anyone? That is the only problem, it does not work when it's idle for a while. I would not like to do a hard reset and remain the same
