Disable Ambient Display - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

Is there any toggle/button to disable the Ambient Display? And just show the lock screen when I pickup the phone without pressing any button or tapping the display? So that I can unlock the phone using only face-unlock by just pickup the phone.

you can disable the ambient display, then set double tap to wake the screen which brings you to the lock screen

Thanks for the reply, but my question is, now if we pick up our phone it shows the ambient display. Is there any way to get the lock screen instead of that ambient display when we pick up the phone?

No, or try more complicated way with tasker then yes

Yes, I'm trying to figure it out how to get it worked using Tasker for past few weeks. My plan is to use the face unlock method on home and fingerprint when I'm not at home. Since the pick up to wake is already there in OOS I thought it can be made in an easier way. But pick up is only working with Ambient Display and not the lock screen.

A quick way to turn off the screen?

Is there a quick way to turn off the G4 screen with the use of the proximity sensor or like double tapping the home button? If I have the phone flat on the table I don't want to lift it up to turn it off and I don't like waiting for it to dim out. I like locking it.
Double tap any empty space on the screen.

Oh wow didn't think of that thanks, but that only works on the lock screen?
If you are using stock launcher, it works anywhere, screen on. With screen off, double tap will wake it up.
Also if you are in an app like tapatalk where there is no empty space ... Double tap the status bar at the top... Works the same.

Bringing a post back from the dead! You are correct but at the time of the original post, there was no "Moves" settings.

[APP] NotifyBuddy - Notification light when screen is off

Just download it on the Playstore NotifyBuddy. The app developer XanderApps made an amazing simple app to bring back a simple and beautiful notification light when the screen is off. Easy to configure, allow all the permissions, pick the apps you want it to show the light for, choose a color, and that's it. You can tinker with the settings for the duration of the blink, how long it takes to blink again, and how long it blinks for, which is a big one for me because other apps do not let it go for very long from what I've seen. The developer also said that there is screen in burn protection built-in! The only thing is AOD settings get disabled when there is a notification as well as screen-off fingerprint unlock and a double tap of the screen is needed to wake the phone up, or alternatively press the power button.
No notification light is an issue I had found with the note 10 + coming from the Note 8 and this is resolved for the most part
Lemmi know what you guys think about it !
Does it work with AoD?
When a notification arrives, does the fingerprint scanner works?

Did you guys read what OP wrote?
And from yesterday (or i have not noticed it earlier) when the display goes dark, it shows a message that no pictures are selected (however i have no picture-style aod choosen)
Only works if i press the power button on my s10+ any ideas why?
Holy crap, I wish I could have found this a long time ago. It actually works on my Note 10 plus. Shows notification on top left when screen is off[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Did you use edge lightning? Or it's turned off?

Haven't logged in in awhile but it can be used with or without edge lighting. I just tested with a 15 second delay (found in the notify buddy settings) and it works.
Have a nice day !
I like the idea of it but I don't like that it doesn't work as well there like when I plug in the charger it doesn't allow the display to turn off until I manually do it
Hmmm, I just tried on my Note10 plus. Plugged in charger, screen timed out at the 30 seconds I have it set to time out, charging led was present.

Fingerprint unlock doesn't seem to work unless you tap the screen to wake and then fingerprint unlock. Also the position seems to change slightly every time the notification blinks. I was putting it around the camera hole and the first blink is perfect around the camera but then the others are off to either side with each blink. Once these are fixed and I make sure there's no battery drain, I would probably buy the premium version.

Android 10 - how to return ambient mode on double tap?

On Android 9 Pie we can enable ambient mode when double tap on screen for checking notification and time. On Android 10 double tap turn on screen. Is any solution to return "old-fashion" double tap? I have root.

If your using the EXKM app, disable native DT2W, then enable it in the EXKM app. Works very well :good:

That's odd. What method did you use to update to A10? Was it a clean or dirty install?
I did a dirty install of the factory image, and DT2W works as it should with the EXKM method
I used clean install. If you'll disable dt2w in kernel settings and enable it in firmaware settings will you get ambient mode?

Yes, I still get ambient mode. I just like the EXKM version better just because it's faster to wake the lock screen :good:

If this is what you mean by ambient mode, then yes I do. However, I suspect you don't. It's a feature I have never used, so forgive me if I mislead you. Or am I confusing ambient with AOD? Which is also a feature I never have used?

Not any more apparently. Personally, I don't really get the point of it. It's just a darker version of DT2W the lock screen to see the same thing. But that's just me I reckon.

No, it's not. When screen in ambient mode it not reacted on touches. Now on Android 10 my phone in pocket occasionally turning on display (at walking) and I have false touches - for seven minutes my player stopped twice, once change track and once turned off BT wich caused disconnection of headset. It pisses me off! Now I just turn off DT2W and had to turn AOD that drain my battery. Hey, Google, are you OK?

No worries man. You have your opinions, and I have mine. It's just something I never really need

flip cover app that turns off the screen

Hi all, I tried several apps that turns off the screen when using a flip cover case. None of them work properly. Does anyone knows where I can find a working one.
*it isn't an official Samsung flipcover case
Thanks in advance
No one will work I think, frustrating, I used gravity screen app for turning on/off the screen via prox sensor, with past devices, but I found that with this note10+ with underscreen sensor it no longer worked, tried some othwr apps without success, my guess is that samsung no longer allows third party apps to make use of this sensor, so I think only their own flipcover case will work

Makes sense in a way
I got smart screen on off to half way work...it will turn the screen when I open my flip cover. But will not turn it off. So I just use the double tap feature to shut down.

I can recommend the samsung led view case. Its pricey (90 aussie dollars, i got it for $62 on special)
But it does what it says it will, the in-built led panel in the front of the case displays notifications, and you can design your own icon for different apps/contactsvor use one of the 20+ included icons.

Absolutely correct, sorry... I misread your post. If you want double tap to sleep, you need to use nova or lawnchair or another 3rd party launcher. Its really odd that samsung hasn't included it to their launcher.
Thanks for the info!
I made a double tap to sleep gesture with nova
