Sorry if this is old news for everybody here, but I saw night mode option under developer options and said what the heck and set it to always on. I did not expect it to do much because I already set the theme to Dark in Settings and that doesn't seem to affect anything but the notification bar.
well lo and behold, a couple of apps are now dark that previously weren't even though the apps have no dark theme setting. Namely Instagram and play store. Go figure. Of course there apps that I really want to be dark -- Gmail, Settings, and hangout -- aren't. That's Google for you.
Also Google Drive and Google Photos become dark

Sure, that mode it's intended only for battery saver mode, but you can force enable it; if you use a lot the battery saver feature, you will notice that it will reset the dark mode when turned off; so if you want a convenient switch, use the app linked below; you can set a QS Switch with it.

Phone resets dark mode when it is in charge also, does this app force it enabled also in this case? Thanks

It resets only when turning on and off battery saver; but, yes, the app can easily toggle dark mode once it gets reseted, it's easily accessible in Quick Settings menu; otherwise you will have to go into developer options and enable it from there, everytime.
The following is only needed in Pie btw, Android 10 already has changed the way dark mode behaves.

could you please elaborate a bit?
Do you mean we can prevent the battery saver switching from disabling the dark mode always on setting? How exactly? Thanks
Google it. After unplugging charger it returns to night mode. Without this setting in messaging it won't return.
It must be this, becouse I am using battery saver mode all the time.

Hi Guys,
I still have some late notifications once in a while from different programs.
Line (Messaging)
Google Calendar
HQ (Trivia game)
And a few others...
I have made sure to disable the "Auto" power manager setting for those apps and most of the time they do work normally. However once a week or so I miss a calendar notification or other notifications. I'm guessing this has to do with the aggressive background task killing on Chinese phones, or maybe the AI stuff? Either way, I want my notifications to work and come in on time.
Are there any hidden settings I am missing to disable background task killing? (I had an older Huawei phone that allowed you to disable Huawei memory management in developer settings, but that's not on this phone)
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue on a mate 20 pro, but up to now I could not find a resolution. It's annoying as our doorbell works with a push message that does not always gets delivered instant now.
Try locking the app along with turning off smart notification and turning on the setting to keep mobile active when in sleep mode. Seemed to work for my AL00 which has aggressive power handling.
on top of changing auto mod for app launch there's also battery optimization which isn't in battery menu but in application - special access menu. Try to disallow apps you need maybe it helps.

This is really annoying, when my phone is charging and the screen is off, it constantly shows the battery % and time until battery is charged. Tried turning off the AOD, looked all through the settings and no go. Anyway to turn this off??? My note 9 does not do this

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.

For the last 3-4 days I've noticed Playstore has dark mode enabled at night but is back to white during the day time.
Does anyone know where the controls for this feature is? I prefer dark mode fulltime but can't seem to find a toggle or way to control it.
My device is stock, unrooted with Android 9 August security patch.
Go to Developer Options and look at the Night Mode settings. I think your phone is set to time of day.

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.

Hi
I've got myself an OnePlus 7T and also enjoying my Pixel 4. On the Pixel 4 it is possible via third party app to automate the on/off of Dark Mode. However I cannot see it's possible with the OnePlus 7 Series?
I've heard that it's somehow possible with Tasker. But has anyone here experience with that?
Thanks.

Yea. Tasker makes it a breeze. You can automate it however you want.
Spesific apps can turn it on, others can turn it off.
Certain schedule, time or days, you can make it every weeknight, two hours Saturday and the whole of Sunday if you want.
Connected to WiFi networks or Bluetooth devices can enable it.
You can even have it enabled during low light only, or under a certain threshold. The list is unlimited ?

Tasker only changes system settings, it doesn't "create" its own stuff. So basically It's simply toggling the dark mode on or off depending on the parameters you set. If your phone has system wide setting, then that's what it'll toggle.
It's an automation tool that can automate what you currently do manually.
Have you got tasker? Have you played with it?
Just create a profile you want, for example: time
Then set the parameters (example 7pm to 7am)
Then choose an action, search for dark mode. You can either set it to toggle or to on/off
If set to on, make an exit task too, again chose dark mode and off.
If you want a certain app to trigger it, then choose that app, etc. You can have an or or conditions etc.
Think: If this and this but not that then X.
Look at tasker tutorials for more parameter alternatives.
