Hey guys, first post on the nexus 6 forums, just got mine a week ago. I'm sure many of you miss the notification light that most of us are use to. I know we can use the app lightflow to get the hidden led to light up but that is not what this is about. I for one miss double tap to wake on my G3 and Oneplus but there is another way and most of you already have the option activated. This magical setting, Ambient Display.
Instead of picking up the phone like a good boy or girl from your desk to check if there are notifications waiting, simply tap either the extreme right or left of the phone and this act will shake it causing the sensors to think you moved the phone and the ambient display will knock on. For those who don't follow, since the nexus 6 back is shaped like a U or curved tapping either side would cause the phone to rock.
That's it, just something I noticed and I did not see it mentioned anywhere, give it a try, no more picking up phones to check the time. Enjoy.
or, get root and use the real double tap to wake. you can get it working by app, or by kernel of choice. its actually included in the code for the n6, but not enabled. you can easily enable it, if you have root. besides, ambient display uses battery, and wakes often in the pocket(and gets really annoying).

Ambient display doesn't wake up in my pocket. Chroma pocket mode. ? Still has to poll the prox sensor though, but I'm sure this would use less battery than the display waking up.

Does double-tap-to-wake work reliably in 5.1.1? I tried it ages ago with 5.0.1 and found it often would require several extra taps to wake it up. I might root and try again if it works better now...
Oh! I didn't know this. I was missing that feature and I had it all the time.
Thanks for the tip.
On Chroma, Doubletap to wake using the wakegestures.apk is about 85-90% reliable in waking on the first doubletap, its not too big a deal.
Double tap to sleep is 100% reliable first time for me just like a g2-g3.
Nova launcher + screen lock and off app works amazing.

Nope. Now you know why Google never left it enabled.
The "rocking " feature to wake the screen was first implemented on the Moto X's Active Display.
Haptic DT2W works every time for me on 5.1.

No it wasn't. Moto X's along with their Droid variants use IR sensors in the corners to detect movement. Thats not how Ambient Display works (which is quite a bit inferior).

IR sensors were not used on the Moto X 2013. The nexus 6 "rocking" works the same as that phone, though Moto X seemed more sensitive from what I remember.

Huh. I had a Droid Ultra back then and I could have sworn it used ir sensors.
I stand corrected.
Does this kill the natural ambient notification? I would actually prefer both. Sometimes I just want to see if there are notifications without opening the display. Then would want to use the knock when I'm actually planning on using the phone

Works well in my experience (on 5.1.1). I do notice that it works most of the time if I'm holding the phone at an angle, but it works every time if I hold the phone vertically. That was also the case with motion launch on my m8 so maybe it's by design to avoid accidental waking? I suspect people who don't find it working could be having the same issue.

The led also flashes every few seconds. The Moto display does not do any such thing and though people say you can wave your hand over the phone to turn it on, that's still more interaction to see if there's anything and I tried that feature on my Moto g and it never worked.

It certainly is not the same. But the days of led notifications are coming to an end. And you don't have to wave your hand. You can also just pick up your phone and it automatically shows your notifications in dark mode.

So what if I'm typing and working and want to know if I have a message. How do I check visually without picking up the phone? With the notification light it blinks constantly. The active display can't do that and as a result is a drop in functionality for me. It's nice that the phone turns the active display on when I pick up the phone, but that doesn't replace a notification light, if anything it would work best in unison with a notification light.

Very true. But most people didn't use led notifications because it didn't tell you much (unless you download an app to configure them with different colors). This is what Moto Display and the ambient display were created for. People used to led notifications don't like it but I venture to say more people are making use of the new method.

Isn't the new method only on Moto phones though? What percent of the market does Moto even have? As for notification colors, every app I know has its own colors for notifications so it's always easy to tell what I have a notification for, unless I have multiple notifications.

No. Lollipop has ambient display which is very similar. That is why turning on ambient display disables Moto Display.

I am not a big fan of the notification screen i dont think Moto G has a AMOLED display hence if it is not the case the notification will drain the battery faster how i am not an expert on how the notification works so i may be wrong
LED was cool but no many used it anyways it was not a feature but an accessory without which you can live with
How did this turn into a philosophical debate over the merits of a notification led?

No gyroscope - so no driving mode or photosphere or google cardboard or spotlight stories. No LED notifications. No stereo speakers.

Driving mode is no gyroscope dependent. It was there on the first gen Moto G (which too, leaks a gyroscope.)
Whoa...I was considering moving from Samsung to Moto...but if no LED, it's a no go for me. I use Lightflow, and the different colors, and flash/no flash, is too handy to lose. Don't have to pick up the phone; don't have to be close to it even, to know what type of message may be waiting.

Enjoy it while you can. Ambient notifications are going to kill the need for led notifications. While it is not was powerful as led notifications, I would imagine we will see a huge drop in LEDs in Android phones in the next year or so.
Hello!!
I was wondering if my moto g4 play has an hidden led notification, like moto g4 and moto g4 plus. I'm aware that it will need root access to enable it. It's a very usefull feature to me, I'm really looking forward to enable it. Thanks!!
It might. Down at the bottom, below the screen, is what looks like a light sensor for proximity... But when I cover it with my finger nothing happens. There's another at the top under the speaker too. One of these could be a hidden LED.

Yeah, I identify that spots too! But I'm looking forward to someone who is rooted and can test led apps, to find out If our model has that led too... And working for notifications, not only batery charge I'm not rooted yet, but I'll, as soon as I confirm that the led works! Maybe you are rooted?
It is a blue led, you can activate it with a moto x program in app store.

Yes, in the program only for charging or charged battery, i think its is possible, but someone needs to write a program for it, maybe theres others in play store, i just not tested yet, i think its to bright, maybe drains the battery, to enable it you need to root.

Light flow doesn't work, only app that seems to work is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.itsmeton.motoledenabler&hl=en_GB
Needs root
That one (Moto Led Enabler) doesn't seem to work for me, though. It turns on the LED when you change the brightness setting (so it's not completely broken), but doesn't do anything in response to actual notifications.
I feel like this should be entirely possible, any custom ROM's on the horizon working on this? This is my biggest gripe with the phone.
Hi everybody. Recently I bought a J7 pro for several reasons, one of which was Always on Display, a.k.a AOD. However from the first night I used it as a night clock I could apparently see that the background of the clock and notifications is not black and has a faint light. The funny part is that the preview of AOD is fine with all the black pixels off, but when you actually use it, all the pixels are on. I asked several J730F owners and they had the same problem, however my device is J730G. Please test and report. Just remember the environment must be completely dark.

Hey
I have the same problem
I have a j730f/D's
It's really frustrating and I guess it drains the battery a lot
I also noticed the that the preview of the aod is perfect on all brightness levels
Maybe thats because the display panel uses different settings when real aod is on ( like udervoltage and lower refresh rate things like this but I am not an expert )
Also visible on 3rd party apps from the PlayStore
I guess Samsung is using some hardware tweaks there to optimise battery life
What I also noticed is when the real aod is set to full brightness because of the sunlight the screen really gets black ( you can try this with a flashlight or so )
But on the lowest brightness the screen gets grey .
Would love to know if this is just software related or hardware
Because if it is hardware I give it a try and send it back

That's exactly my situation as well. On low brightness the screen is unbearably gray, otherwise it seems to be completely black. I guess you can try sending it back, unfortunately I don't have that option.
3rd party apps sucks because they can't use this special display mode Samsung uses
Maybe I will send it back
But I am not sure about that I wanted to wait until an update is coming, maybe it's software related so they can fix it .
I also send an email to Samsung but I saw your post on the Samsung forum so I don't expect too much
With how many ppl did you talk about that problem that have the j730f ? I mean it doesn't make sense to send it back and get a new one if it is a problem for every device
I got the same issue on my J730G/DS. When on low brightness aod, i can notice the whole screen lighting up a little bit. But on high brightness it is completely black. I think all j7 pro have this issue. At least we could try to send it back to samsung and see if they will fix or even do something about this issue.

I found several threads out there talking about this problem. Generally the problem was with S7 and other Samsung flagship devices. In all the circumstances there, the problem only was fixed by changing the AMOLED panel. However here in J7 pro it seems that when the screen is well lit, the black is truly black and when the ambient sensor reduces the light the problem shows its ugly face. This problem was not mentioned anywhere in those threads I mentioned.

I don't wanna waste any more money on my phone. So yeah let see what will Samsung do. It's impossible that this is the AMOLED panel fault. Looks like the version of our AOD is a bit old. Try compare it with the A 2017 Nougat AOD.

Although I hope so and believe that j7 problem is different from previous problems seen on other faulty aods, but the way aod works is different from the way other aod apps work.
Hey guys
I've borrowed my friend's J7 Pro to see if she had this AOD problem. After I bring it to a very dark place, the AOD works like it should (No grayish AOD background). Guess it's a hardware problem. I will try to send it back to Samsung if I have time.

The AOD uses the ambient light sensor to decide what brightness should be used ( I think AOD only recognize Dark and Bright situation, just like most of the proximity sensors )
So because it's dark, the screen also adjust itself to dark situation. No grayish background is seen. I compare mine with her side by side and I can see the difference.
Another thing to proof that this is a hardware problem is that when you put your finger on the fingerprint sensor and it unlocks, between the unlocking process, you can see the screen flicker before it unlocks the phone. Same as when you boot up the phone. Right after when you press the power button and it vibrate, you can see a flicker before "Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro" is shown.

I will find some time to send it back to Samsung. The distance from My home to the nearest Samsung Service Center is very far, took me about half an hour with usual traffic. But they are usually traffic jammed, so I predict an hour trip to the SSC. Not an easy job though I'm very busy all day.

I have this issue ever since I bough the phone in early August. Not 1 but 2 unit, model SM-J730G/DS. Both show the same symptom. Do Samsung selling phone with defect amoled panel or poor software implementation? What the hell!
If you all notice, the official samsung's AOD app for our J7 pro is not available anymore in Play Store. Why they remove support for our device? Why? From the feedback there, a lot of j7 pro owner report about this aod problem...
ambient display is, for me, in many situations, too dim, or it turns off in dark as it says - is it possible to disable this i noticed samsung and huawei phones don't have this issue and their always on displays are nice and bright always

Me to, in dark situations, too dim, or it turns off when you go from light to dark, think that adaptive brightness have problem on all xiaomi phones, don't know is this problem with MIUI 10, MIUI 11 or something wrong with android 9, we will see what will be with android 10.
Well i bought mi to have at least some notifications as oneplus does to have any, but i think, i would be better of with oneplus as nothing when it is not supposed to work is better then nothing when there should be aod, but it is mostly to dark it is impossible to see or just plain off.
Well to be honest, only Samsung was where I was AOD to be really working, not even pixel or huawei was without issues. So I wonder where to go next time - I guess apple, as in EU samsungs have weird power hungry chips.
Tough I wanted full display without holes and I got it and it look really nice, shame that other functionality of the phone after update to miui11 is gone.
I have created a work around fix for this little annoying problem.
I used Tasker and made 5 profiles that reads Display Light values and adjust the Display Brightness .
I have set Auto Brightness OFF
Check it and give feedback if you find it useful.
I attach the tasker file to import it
So is there a solution for this nonsense issue already? Googling around and can't find a fix for over a year now.
I did not notice this issue on any other xiaomi phone, including mi6, mi8pro, mi9se.
This is so annoying, I want to throw this phone in to a wall at times. But then I remwmber how much time it takes to fully set up a new one.
