Is anyone else having an issue with the AOD randomly turning itself off? I keep mine on during the day, but at times I don't see it on my screen, so I'll go into the settings and see that it's set to "off". I can't figure out what's turning it off.
check your proximity sensor, it might be the problem

The "always on screen" turns itself off when in your pocket. It uses the proximity sensor to do this. If there is a problem with your proximity sensor then it may turn off randomly.

Is there a way to calibrate it? I'm coming from the LGG3 and I used to be able to calibrate the proximity sensor on that phone, but I can't find the setting here

I'm not sure because I don't have any issues with it... How did you calibrate it on the G3?

It was just another option in the settings.

Mine will temporarily appear to be off when Nova kills the screen after I knock. Eventually comes back on when Nova's control times out.

Yeah, mine turns itself off completely, and I have to go into the settings to turn it back on

Thanks, the test said it's working good

I don't think it's the proximity sensor since he is saying he goes into settings and AOD is completely off.
Do you have it set to turn off at certain times of the day?
Check your on/off times, too.
In display settings, "always on display"
"daily timeout" - see if that is set to turn off display when you don't want it turned off?
Can also turn brightness up. I did because outside in the sun it is impossible to see.
Also found in "battery saver" another setting. "Block Use of Always On Display"
Might have this ON?

I there any settings or something to adjust proximity sensor? I was trying to turn off screen covering sensor with thumb, but.. no effect.
Does it need any setting or my phone is faulty?
I noticed the same thing on my phone today.
The proximity sensor doesn't work if you've switched off the Automatically adjust backlight option in Settings>Sound & Display>Backlight. There doesn't seem to be any way around this as the proximity sensor doesn't have its own option.
Are you in a call? You need to be calling/receiving a call for it to work.
I agree, I think you need to be in a call for the proximity sensor to work properly.
For me it works fine. And i don´t hade automatic backlight on.

That's interesting because I can toggle my proximity sensor (whilst in a call) by toggling the automatic backlight. That option must be linked to something else as well.
Screen goes black
I do have the same behavior, when I make a call the phone's screen goes black automatically so if I need to press any key have to press send to get my screen back, then use the keypad, nonsense, is anyone having the same issue ?
for me, the proximity sensor doesn't work at all. I have the automatic backlight setting and yet it still doesn't work. any idea why?
SP300
I just found the solution, I have got the screen protector on "The Original HTC SP300" and is causing the screen to go blank when you do a phone call, If a remove it a little bit from the top left corner and make a call works as spec.
Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to force the keyboard keys to stay lit up until you close it. It seems to be cutting out mid type.
Thanks.
It turns off when you it's bright enough in the surrounding area. You can flash cyanogenmod and set all the brightness settings.
Thanks,
I guess I was hoping to be able to control this manually without having to flash a different rom.
At this time its not possible to control it manually from stock froyo. Maybe in gingerbread?

do you have it set to automatic brightness? I noticed my keyboard turning on and off while typing and the screen dimmed and brightened with it. Turned off the auto brightness and hasn't done it since.

Turning off the auto brightness hasn't made any difference to me on my DZ. The backlight for the keyboard and capacative buttons seems to turn off and on quite often for no apparent reason (badly calibrated light sensor ?).
has anyone tried covering up the light sensor with a sticker or something? lol idk

That would certainly work, you can put your finger over it and show how it's the light sensor doing it. Probably not the best long term solution though
Anyone know where is the proximity sensor for iconia?
I tried the app named "proximity screen off", it doesn't work. Anyone able to get it work? Thank you

How about light sensor? Where is the light sensor? Bcos i hope i can turn off the iconia by cover, it can let me feel like ipad 2

That is on the bezel, right under the edge, about 2mill left of the orientation lock button. As I understand it, it's for automatic brightness control - I don't believe it has any control over on/off. That, you can set in the settings.
Theres an app called tasker that you can use to tell it to lock up system when light sensor reading is less than certain percent. I use number 3. Works wonderfully on my gtab.
My phone screen would turn on to show the clock only over a black background when let's say I throw in on the bed or put down "not gently". Does this happen to everyone or is this a feature Google added?

yes, you can turn off that feature... Settings-Display-Turn off Ambient Display.
that's cool that this setting can be turned off, but with the setting turned on mine does it without even moving. I set it down, it does the screen/clock thing, turns off, then just keeps doing it what seems randomly. Anyone figure have that problem?
An app could be causing that behaviour. In my case I found it was LightFlow, I uninstalled it and no more strange behaviour from the Ambient Display.

I get this too! I want ambient display set to on (so when I pick the phone up, I can quickly see the time, without unlocking it) but I don't understand why when it is flat and still, there is this random, intermittent screen clock thing

I had the same issue with Lightflow. Using Light Manager now.
I've noticed having notifications will have the screen coming on every few seconds even though the phone is not being moved. Had this happen on my Nexus 6 as well.
Im using S10+ exynos version
I'm pretty sure that's a software bug with the always on display. You can turn off the AOD completely or do a search for Galaxy S10+ AOD bug because there was a less drastic fix by turning something off in settings.

It's a bug which plague s10 series. It never been fixed yet... You might try turning off the double tap to wake or some other settings.... It reduce it drastically but not completely.
There is a setting under display for accidental touch that prevents phone screen lighting up when in pocket or a bag. Turn that setting on.
