I found it wasn't great in the dark, I assume it uses the light sensor to determine if in pocket etc

I have noticed the same thing. It isn't 100% consistent.

FWIW: Mine seems to be very consistent if I triple tap. Perhaps the first tap wakes it up if it's in a deep sleep?

Hopefully fixed in the December update.

Has been working consistently for me so far. Will post back if that changes.

OK, still not working consistently. I don't get what's happening to make it randomly not work. When it doesn't work, it doesn't matter how many times I tap it does NOTHING. Then if I unlock it with my fingerprint and shut it off again it immediately lights up the ambient display like I just tapped on it again.

I can't tell you the "why". But I can tell you that mine does work consistently if I tap it 3 times. Something's different in our devices, or our setup....
Edit: not 5 minutes after posting this, my XL started randomly not responding to dttw.

Makes no sense. I'm glad we are seeing the same issues though, at least it's consistent there

I'm having the same exact issues. Tap not working consistently and sometimes the lift doesn't work either. Hmm.

It's worth noting I had the same issues with the Elemental kernel before this ddtw option was available. The ddtw option was just as inconsistent for me.

Neither working at all for me.
Update: Seems to be working fine now.

if you have a screen protector that might cause the issue
if it still doesnt work without screen protector reflash the factory image

The update seems to fix the issue.
Update: the issue still there. But much less frequent

The is double tap to wake? Is this with a custom kernel? Otherwise I didn't know this was an option. How do you activate that feature?

I have noticed that is works better if the screen is locked. So if your phone doesn't lock for 5 or so minutes, it may not work until after that time. Try to set your phone to "Power button instantly locks" and then try it. Mine was not working at all, but when I locked the device sooner, it started to work consistantly. Might not help you, but fixed it for me.

Works fine for me, do you have a tap on?

December OTA. Same location as other Moves/ gestures.

FWIW: what I've noticed is that if my phone is sitting on something, DTTW works 100% of the time. If I have it in my hand, it's very sporadic.

Help! Ambient display not working. 'tap to wake' and 'pick up to show' not working

I have encountered this bug where I'm unable to use ambient display or wake up the display without the use of power button. Everytime I lock the screen it becomes unresponsive even the quick gestures don't work.
I have performed a soft reset but the problem has persisted.
Many other users seem to be suffering from this issue.
My device is full stock, no root or 3rd party apps on it.
Can anyone help me this this issue?

All users are facing this... It's because of battery optimisation.

No issues here. I am able to use the gestures just fine. Even the tap to wake and pick up to wake is working fine. I am 10.0.3 build.

I'm also having issues on tap to wake.

Happens to everyone. It's a hit or miss. Battery optimization makes the phone go into deep sleep and cause this issue is what i too understand.

Ya i did happen couple of times for me hope this bug get ironed out soon.

Same issue here also

Started encountering the issue recently - 3 days into ownership of the phone ?
The only peculiar thing I can remember is changing the override force dark toggle yesterday. And now that I recall, I don't remember seeing the ambient display since then. ?

Confirming I also have this issue. Very frustrating

I can trigger a black screen by holding the phone in landscape and launching the stock camera app. Then I have to hold Vol+/- and Power to reboot and it works again.

Hi guys. Found a fix on the OnePlus forum. Give it a try!

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.

I feel it's not all the time, it's mostly at night. Will compare again now. I got it yesterday afternoon.

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.

It's fine in day time, I'm using this phone.
At night the screen turns yellowish automatically, it's miui issue, sceen is fine. Don't bother about replacement, just report the bug from the phone and wait for software update for fix.

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.

Question Inconsistent double tap to wake

Dt2w works fine for the first few minutes after locking phone but after that, it requires 7-8 taps to wake up. Anyone else experiencing this? Im using xiaomi.eu 12.5 stable.

I'm on the weekly and I also have this issue. Not 7-8, but I have to tap twice. Like 2 taps then 2 taps again. Happens sometimes.

all good on ArrowOS, DT2W and sleep working great... i know it's possibly not what ur looking for... but it's a seriously good rom.

Yes, this happens also for me

I'd assume this would also be an issue on the Global rom?
If so, we can bring it to Poco's attention via Poco community forum.
Otherwise, we'd have to bring it to Xiaomi's attention on the Mi community forum.

I noticed this too but for me it’s the very slight movement between taps where it presumes a gesture is upcoming. It also seems a little worse with a slippery tempered glass protector.
If I make a conscious effort not to move position between taps it works for me every time. Maybe they can adjust swipe detection sensitivity?

Interestingly, don't have problems with double tap to wake, it works always, only with tapping for always on display to quick check time or notifications. Works 1 in 10 times. It's funny, tap, nothing, double tap ok.

same issue

Same issue, probably the biggest annoyance for me since I'm almost unable to use 10 second AOD tapping to conserve standby power.

Any power management active?... destroyer of worlds.
Try clearing system cache, and a hard reboot.
Try altering AOD settings or clearing apk data.
Maybe a firmware glitch... they happen.

Already done this to fix my drain problem one day one of receiving the device.
I know Android is just like any other OS installed on a computer sometimes needs clearing of cache, a shutdown of the OS or a manual reboot.
In fact I've done it many times just to make sure MIUI is not glitching on me.

You be amazed how many have no clue or just don't think using of it.
It may be a settings glitch or again some sort of power management running amuck in the background. Play with it...

I posted the issue on Mi Community and Poco Community forum.
Not many people seem to use the double tab to wake feature with AOD set to 10 seconds.
I tried searching on Xiaomi and Poco both forums with keyword double tap and not a single thread for the Poco F3/Redmi K40.

I think youre right bro. If i time my taps perfectly and dont move position between taps, it works most of the time. Same goes for the AOD. Single tap works but it takes almost 2 seconds for the AOD to pop up which is pretty slow imo.

I think figured it out, 3 fast taps without moving my finger always works with AOD now.
Whatever, I'll just leave the posts on the Mi and Poco forum...hopefully they can replicate the issue and improve single/double/triple tap detection with future updates.

Bro did you try single tapping and waiting for ~2 seconds?

Everything magically works now, after I let the battery deplete to 0% (MIUI auto shutdown) for a second time and then charge to 100% (for initial battery calibration).
Of course I won't be letting the battery deplete past 20% anymore after this, and I'll only be charging up to 90% when I have the phone rooted.
I'm pretty sure there some other minor issues with MIUI I haven't encountered yet, but for now it's pretty enjoyable to use.

Might depend on the device. Doesn't use much at all on my Samsung Note 10+.
With AOD touch to view active and phone/text running I use less than .5% @HR.
Never tried deactivating Double Tap on though... it's too useful.
More than likely it's not the culprit. Cloud apps and trashware like WhatsApp, FB, Google system apks are prime suspects.
Easy enough to test...

Question Touch Screen Problem!

hello everyone,
I just bought z fold 3 a few days ago,
after hours of working with I found that sometimes the touch screen(inner display) doesn't respond,
for example, some words don't type when I am typing quickly with the keyboard (just sometimes)
factory data reset didn't help.
has anyone run into the same problem? may be resolved with future updates?

Is it only happening to apps connected to the internet ie is it a connection issue?
The internet's been goofed up in some areas the last few days. Try toggling the airplane mode off/on.
Keep power management disabled for now.
Does it happen in safe mode?
Find the factory test settings for the touch display, test (and calibrate if needed/possible).
If you can't resolve it, return it. Otherwise eyeball every square inch of it like a hawk...

I tested the touchscreen with *#0*# and everything is fine.
just sometimes this problem occurs and I think this may be software problems...
have you z fold 3?

No. Basic troubleshooting.
Samsung will likely release firmware updates to correct this if enough devices are effected. It may be a 3rd party app causing this... try in safe mode. Disable animations for now and see what its got.
I stopped at the N10+/Android 10 and will likely stay in this holding pattern for at least 2 years.
I have two now and they run close to flawlessly.
Both Samsung and Android are having major issues, plus I require a SD card slot. Even issues on the N20U, which helped nix it from my list.
It may be a good year for Fold fans but otherwise both Android and Samsung have dropped the ball and are in a flat spin... in my opinion.

my problem is just like what you see in this youtube video in Time 12:15 and 12:49 . I must double try some times to click some things. this is very annoying on the keyboard and when you are typing quickly.

If stateside you can go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience store. They can do advanced testing on it... allegedly.
I would get it resolved soon or return it for a complete refund.

I tried to replicate the issue. I downloaded the same app on my Fold 3. I tried for few minutes.
On my device every click is registered. No missing dots.

I have the exact same issue. I addressed it by increasing the screen sensitivity.

Hey, I just noticed it today as well. When I try to type text faster, sometimes I need to double click on letters. I think this problem came with the latest update, because I havent had that problem before. It is frustrating.
I tried to turn on sensitivity option in settings and I will reply here after day or two testing.
seems to be a bit better with that option turned on
