I switched from a Pixel 4 to a Sony 1-IV but the always on display is seriously a joke. On Pixel and other devices getting a notification will wake up the screen to show the notification text for a few seconds before turning back to the normal AOD again. Sony is lacking that. Is there a way to get Pixels AOD on the Sony via Magisk or something or a different solution to get that functionality back?
Samsung and Sony phones have a similar AOD manner where they do not show previews of the notification.
Have you tried the cometin app?

that is no true lock screen. A normal app can't fulfill that role.

The new notifications on Android Lollipop on the Z2 are quite nice.
What I like to have is that the display automatically turns on for some seconds when a notifications arrives.
I did not find an option in the settings. Is this possible without rooting?
OK, I solved it myself with the app Screen Notifications ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukekorth.screennotifications ). Quite good although I still prefer the iOS way of notification popups.
So I've noticed when using smart view to cast to a TV screen, the phone screen will turn to a low power mode, that says smart view, press power or swipe to turn on. My concern is that this image causes image persistence once smart view is done, and could eventually lead to burn in. Does anyone know if this screen moves, like the Always on Display images do; or if there is a way to disable this screen without disabling the screen staying potentially awake the whole time. It may not be possible, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience. The only possible workaround I've come up with is to use the android native casting feature (via nova and a widgets activity) and perhaps the following app.

I'm finding that mine doesn't always enter the power saving while mirroring which I wish it would when I want it to. If I turn the screen off while mirroring, then ask Google voice to play next song or something the screen mirroring wakes up and display on the external screen and puts the power save mode on the phone which is what I'd expect.
I wish mine did this without having to turn the screen off and the wake it up with voice. If I wake it up with the power button then screen mirror comes on b I t so does the normal screen on the phone.
Maybe we can swap ha ha.
Anyone else not getting the power save option when mirroring? I need to turn the screen off then ask Google to do something for the power save to work. Turning the screen back on doesn't help, just asking Google voice seems to bring it back. I was hoping it would just time out and start automatically. Samsung don't seem to understand their own options, with them telling me that it's not possible until I pointed out it's a software feature if their phone then they went silent.
hello, the led is very little and the light is almost invisible. is there a way, even with third part apps to do a notification light more efficient or a notification in always on screen (third parts app like whatsapp)??
There is no option to show third party apps in aod.
I tried some apps for led, even bought one. But it does not work. It works either not or only sometimes without a pattern. ..
I think it is ok though, I see the led when the phone is on the table and it's the same color for everything (orange) although the app made all colors possible. It is RGB led after all. I think the apps don't work because emui kills apps in the background like crazy.
Hello everyone, I just got my mediapad M5 last night, I was eager to watch the new episode of Better Call Saul, it streams in HD and all, but when I am watching anything, and If lets asy I touch the display to rewind for 10 seconds, or move the bar, IT GOES BLACK, if I let go my finger it plays normal.
I was reading that this may be cause by another app drawing over the display and the netflix app freaking about thinking someone wants to record it and take pictures of it naked.
But I disabled all the apps drawing over other apps, restarted, to no luck,
Anyone else gets this?
No one? really of all the 38 people no one can check?
I don't have Netflix installed and I'm not even 100% sure of your issue (i.e. when you touch the screen to rewind, it rewinds but the screen goes blank underneath the overlay? or it doesn't rewind and the entire display goes black)
It could be an app issue. If you have 'disable HW overlays' checked in Dev Options, that could cause such an issue. EMUI's battery optimization is pesky and could be an issue. You should have the app set to 'manage manually; in launch, you should have 'disable battery optimization' checked, if rooted you should use Titanium or Service Disabler to disable Power Genius (which is responsible for EMUI's aggressive battery optimization). Getting rid of Power genius solves various pesky issues with no negative effect on battery life.
OMG finally someone, thanks for your reply,
Its not a faulty device since I already tested my fathers M5 and it also has the same issue.
The issue is as you say, whenever I touch the device and it brings the netflix overlay it turns the background black, and when the overlay fades away it returns the video feed, but it doesnt pause, since the movie keeps playing and the audio keeps playing also.
The issue is that whenever I touch the display to bring the overlay controls

We are having a similar problem, but with the mouse cursor. This is with the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard.
As soon as I move they mouse cursor, the image goes black. The video keeps playing, you hear sound, but no image. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the display comes back.
Also, the last word from every subtitle line is missing, as if there is a text scaling issue where the text gets wrapped to a next line which isn't displayed.
Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.
@Oppo-newbie
Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
