My AOD will not stay on...for some reason, if I set my AOD to always on... I then hit my power button and it comes on for a second and then goes off...I then go into my setting and see AOD is off....if I turn it back on..same thing happens, it just goes off...
I don't know what is happy
Settings -> Lock Screen -> Under 'Always On Display' does it say 'Tap to Show'? This is the new default for some reason. Tap 'AOD' on the left (not the toggle on the right) and change it to 'Show always'

No, I have that set to show always.. But when I click power, it then turns AOD off entirely!

Did you update the phone? I already had one available out of the box. I don't know if that was an issue it fixed or not.

I ran into something simikar. On my note 8 recently after an update. To resolve it, I completely turned off/disabled and, rebooted, then turned it back on, which seems to have solved the issue -

It's not working....it's really crazy. I turn it on. Then get out of the menu. Then when my phone goes to sleep, the AOD comes on for a second, then goes off. Then if I go back into settings I see it is now turned off. I don't know what could be causing it.
Turn off your power saving mode. Use optimize but no other option
I don't understand why Samsung made the AOD display (tap to turn on) by default. Seems like it defeats the purpose. They always touted how battery efficient it was.
I've actually been having the same problem intermittenly with my S9+ recently. Sometimes it comes on sometimes it doesnt. Haven't figured out what causes it I am set to 'always show'.

That didn't do it ...i was hoping not to restart but if I can't figure this out I will.
I've had this on my S10 plus.
It would just turn off every time on its own.
I had to restore a TWRP backup to fix it, because I couldn't find the reason why it was happening...

Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think

Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?
And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?
You can turn it off in the hidden system settings menu
Dial 3845#*855# to access it.

It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.
If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.

we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !
I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?

Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.

Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.
OK, I'm puzzled by how this screen appears on my phone every now and then (see attachment). It happens when I am charging it after using it, i place it on my desk. Then the screen appears...
The thing is, I am not sure how this screen comes about (what apps is causing this screen). I have magazine unlock, so rightfully, I should see those magazine covers.
And when this black screen thingy appears, I just need to lift up my phone a bit/ or tilt it and i am in my homescreen.
Any idea?

i think you're right. i checked and very likely it's the "Smart cover" under Smart assistance. Not sure if it's turned on by default. Anyway, I've turned off both options under Smart cover and will monitor over the next few days.
I got the phone today, any information why double tap to wake is not possible. or activated ?
I have no idea, but I would also very much like to know. I miss my double tap...!
Same here, just received the phone: Quality seems quite good but I'm surprised this basic functionality (double tap to wake) is not available.
From what I read, if it's not implemented at kernel level then no apps can bring it to the phone ...
If anyone has more info, that would be great!
As an alternative this app can be tried. It wakes the device up by wave gesture.
It must be checked if Mi A2 Lite still goes to deep sleep mode and doesnt stay awake when app is active (hint by dev that some devices have problems)
Also it must be checked if Fingerprint is working without any issues like re-enter PIN after fingerprint unlock
Same problem, got the phone last saturday... it seems that the oreo version has it but our phone's didn't...
This ROM is extremely light so they removed most of the common features.
Let's just wait for a semi-official Lineage release for A2L.
Or you can wait until someone builds a kernel for this device. Many Kernels enable tap to wake functionally.

Strangely, on my A2 Lite, double tap only wakes up the screen. Double tapping when screen is awake does nothing at all.
I emailed Xiaomi Support about this, asking how I could disable the waking up. The reply came from Xiaomi Support Malaysia:
Go to the Settings - Select Accessibility - Select advanced settings - Turn on the pocket mode option
I replied, "There is no Advanced Settings under Accessibility. There is also no setting available when I search for pocket or double or tap twice."
Their advice was to backup and perform a Factory Reset, which I think is nonsense.

I posted this on another thread, hope it helps. Worked for me:
I got the package disabler from here https://www.packagedisabler.com/ . It's kind of shady so I advise to use PayPal(it is not a free app) if possible. 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
Any other option how to disable it? A lot of people use AOD and this option probably will turn whole AOD.

I don't think it is possible with regular settings or tweaks, It is such a replacement for missing LED indicator in Note 10(+). Unlike previous model.
I was always wondering about this as if the phone is on charge every night what is stopping the burn in on the screen. it's a good answer to the lack of a LED, but it seems a bit overkill.
Search for screen saver under display or lock screen settings. It's about what to display when phone is charging.

The screen saver won't show if you press power button to turn off screen. It will only work if you wait for screen to turn off by itself.

I consider everything outside the play store as 'shady'. Anyways, I used PayPal and the app worked great. One thing to consider that I don't think has been mentioned is that you 2ont be able to change your lock screen clock shape as it is tied to the AOD app somehow.

Ah...but it's not the only way.
If you prefer to stick to the play store instead of third party I'm currently using CCSWE from Google play for this.
You CAN do this with the free version. Simply go to the search box in the app type AOD and search. Disable the one labeled com.samsung.android.app.aodservice.
This will disable the AOD completely - so no charging screen and no general AOD use.

Download a black wallpaper, such as this one: https://i.imgur.com/NakfHv4.jpg
Put it ina folder by itself and label it so you remember it.
Turn on screensaver under Display Settings, and set the screensaver to photo frame. Set that to the folder that contains your our black wallpaper.
Now when you charge the phone, it will start the screen saver, which will be all black, no charging notification. If you still see the charging notification, just double tap the screen to go to lockscreen and let it time out. The notification will be gone.

Is there anyway to turn off the screen with the home button and then be able to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock?
Advanced features > side key.
For the locking part, there is an app called home button actions, but good lock would give you more functions , as to unlock, there is a double tap option, as LG devices have had since some time
I really appreciate the answers but still looking for an easy way to long press the home button to turn off the screen and have it turn back on with the fingerprint sensor.

Nova - gestures, home button, screen lock.
Always on display - active, fingerprint unlock turned on.
I think this is the closest you can get. I don't think the fingerprint is active while the screen's completely off.
If you want the screen completely off, you'll have to use the lift to wake option, that way it turns on as soon as you pick up your phone. You'll have to turn that option on in the phone settings.
Edit: "Nova".

A single press turns off the screen and pressing the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off turns on the phone. You can set a long press to bring up power off menu.
Just press the power button and the screen will turn off. The easiest way
You can also use "good lock" and the navstar plugin to create a power button shortcut.
Double Tap apk
I use the Double Tap apk. Simple double tap anywhere on the screen to turn t off.
May not work with Android Q though as it's an over lay... works perfectly with Pie.

Do you have a link for that app?
I use the app "DTSO" from the Google Play Store & it works fine on every device mfg except for Samsung. It works on the initial setup, but, subsequent attempts & it does nothing.
On all other devices, I'm able to use a DTSO widget for double tap, on & off.,with no problems.

On all other devices, I'm able to use a DTSO widget for double tap, on & off.,with no problems.

Yeah, too bad. Just checked the date of the last update to that app, benn a good while, pre-dating Android 10 (Q).

One of the reasons I'm not going to Q. I have a couple overlay apps that work well and I use.
The added "security" is a bad joke at a high cost to functionality.

Part, if not all of that, is a Samsung limitation, the app I'm using, DTSO, is similar to the one you referenced, it's an overlay/widget & it works just fine on my stock/unrooted OnePlus 7 Pro & it's running Android 10/Q.
The DTSO app never worked properly pre-dating Android 10 on any Samsung devices I've owned, & I tried other similar apps & the same results.
Regardless, it's a head-scratcher as to why Samsung doesn't build in the functionality, a la LG, perhaps it's a Knox thing limiting it, IDK......

Another option is One Handed Operation Plus. You can set gesture control screen off and much more. I wuv this apk. Up to 6 different discreet switch zones and up to 6 switches per zone. Very low power consumption and reliable. Perfect companion to fill in those unused curve screen zones, a brilliant apk.

Since I'm not using a screen lock the double tap on/off is great. Samsung marketing is like a box of rabid gerbils; absurd and unpredictable.
However when it comes to unrooted phone customization, Samsung is hands down the best.
A plain Jane Apple would bore me to death...

THX for the heads up, I've had this app for a while now, missed that option, now using down swipe for screen off, this works for me.

The long stroke gestures aren't as reliable.
Useful for Apks that get inadvertently triggered like flashlight, ha-ha.
Occasionally it gets triggered when cut and pasting but it integrates in pretty well. Adjusting the zone size and placement can help prevent this.
Plus you can have the touch zone indicator any color or transparency setting you like or none al all.
Great touch for custom themes.
Making use of the customization Samsung apps takes the Note 10+ to a completely new level.
Outstanding... and very resource/battery friendly.
