On the lock screen and ambient display, the display doesn't respect night mode. It is always in "day" mode. Once it unlocks, it fades to night mode. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix to enable night mode on the lock screen/ambient display?
Bump. Has anybody else noticed this?

From several reviews Ive seen the fingerprint sensor needs to flash at max brightness to work then the screen will go to whatever brightness you've selected

It's not the brightness that's the issue though, it's the fact that it's not tinted yellow for night mode.
The brightness flash is still unnecessary though. When registering a fingerprint, the rest of the display is dim, while the green circle is full brightness. There's no reason they can't do the same thing on the lock screen.
While verifying that fact though, I noticed that the fingerprint registration page disables night mode as well, so I guess it is a fingerprint thing after all. I still think it could be implemented better. I wonder if it's possible to counteract the tint from night mode on just the fingerprint sensor light.
I've found the same. A bit annoying. There should be an option in night maybe to disable fingerprint when night mode is on

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
The always on display screen is just way too dark and I'm outside in the sunlight. I can't read it at all. Everything else is fine, normal phone screen brightness is just right. Is there a way to adjust brightness of the AOD display at all?

I just recently turned mine off because of this. If I leave my phone face down it is too dark when I pull it up to see the time etc. If I left it screen up it would be at a very high brightness. It just adjusts to the situation slowly.
Thanks....I actually didn't see any response from the AOD to get brighter in sunlight...maybe I didn't wait long enough, but I waited a lot longer than I thought I should need to. Are you sure the AOD screen has any reaction at all to ambient lighting?
Yes it does effect it if it's on. Just put a finger over the sensor and it will dim
Hi
The AOD seems to be bright in the morning but when it gets darker in evening it remains readable for only a few seconds and then dims down so badly that one cannot read anything on the AOD at night when there is pitch darkness.
I did set the brightness option in the AOD settings but that doesnt seem to help at all.
I'm not using Auto Brighness control also for the display.
Anyone else seeing this particularly at night?

Yes, in low light conditions the aod is to dim...in normal light conditions the aod is good!
Hope they fix it in an update!
Are you using any type of screen overlay?
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
Yes i use Lux-Autobrightness, but deactivated the overlay-right. Otherwise some system animations wont work...like blur in the power off screen, also you cant install non playstore apps with some type of overlay active (android security-feature). But Lux is not the problem, aod is also to dim without lux! Aod simply sets the screen brightness to low in dark enviroments.
Hey guys,
so far I’m really happy with my new 6T. But I’ve found one bug which I’d like to see fixed.
I like to use either the sRGB or the DCI-P3 color profile as the standard color profile is just too saturated and contrasty for my liking. And at night, I’d like to use the display night mode, to reduce blue light. Unfortunately, if the screen is off and I wake up the phone, (doesn’t matter if it’s via face unlock or screen unlock) the screen changes itself to Standard color profile and you can slowly see the night mode take effect – but on top of the standard color profile which is, as mentioned above, not my cup of tea. It happens with both sRGB and DCI-P3 profiles and night mode enabled.
Only if you then turn night mode off again, you can literally see the colors jump back to your original set profile. Which obviously cannot and should not be the intended way night mode works, as night mode also reduces contrast and saturation. This can be seen if you have set the color profile to Standard in the first place and then turn on night mode, which basically shifts the colors to sRGB. Curiously enough, if you then lock the phone and wake it up, everything is as it should be and as I'd like it to be when sRGB is the set profile, meaning the color profile stays sRGB like and night mode is in effect.
I’m running completely stock Oxygen OS 9.0.5., no root, didn’t unlock bootloader or anything.
Does anyone else experience this behavior? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I've been trying to find an answer to this issue since I got the phone. It is appalling that both ambient display and the lock screen are not affected by night mode. It is completely counteractive to how night mode should work.
And I have no idea why they disable color profiles when in night mode. In the settings menu, once you enable night mode, the screen calibration option is greyed out. But it is clearly not a technical limitation because enabling sRGB and then night mode produces the proper effect of a night-shifted sRGB color space. Waking the phone at night turns night mode off on the lock screen, and puts it in standard profile, then shifts to night-shifted standard profile after unlocking. I hate it.
If you come across an answer, please post it back here so others (and I) can find it.
Also, small technical note: night mode does not affect saturation or contrast or color space, only color temperature. sRGB is an entirely different color space with different saturation and gamma curves.

Thanks for your reply. Glad I'm at least not the only one noticing this issue.
As to your last statement, I would've thought so too. But this does not seem to be the case here. If you set the color profile to standard and then turn on night mode, the color space gets changed to sRGB, at least from what I can see. It looks completely different than the falsely activated night shifted standard profile, and looks exactly like the night mode in top of the sRGB mode, so less saturation and contrast (gamma). I don't know if this is intentional but makes it all the more confusing, because it retains the combination of sRGB + night mode even after locking and unlocking.

Wow, you are exactly right. I never thought to try that method, but I agree with your assessment. In standard calibration, night mode also toggles sRGB on and off. This is not affected by lock.
In both sRGB and DCI-P3, toggling night mode does not change calibration, but waking from lock leaves it stuck in standard calibration until you toggle night mode again.
And in all scenarios, the lock screen is never in night mode. Also, the add fingerprint page disables night mode and sticks you back into standard calibration with night mode, no matter which calibration you had selected. So the add fingerprint page acts exactly like the lock screen. This leads me to believe that the fingerprint sensor needs a very specific color of light to operate. But that doesn't excuse the fact that calibration keeps switching and getting stuck. I would think they can override that though.
I just made a post about this on reddit. Maybe up vote it to help increase visibility as this is the first mention I've seen about this issue other than this reddit post.

The whole night mode issues and ambient display going max brightness are super frustrating. This is my first non Nexus/pixel since the oneplus 1, and these small issues are making me question if leaving for a less stable manufacturer was a good idea
After doing some more testing, I've determined this whole ordeal is tied to the fingerprint sensor. Deleting all my fingerprints (disabling it entirely) has resolved all the issues of switching calibrations an night mode toggling. Everything works as it should, except ambient display never is night mode. But the lock screen is in night mode.
I'm personally ok with this for now. Face unlock is very quick, and smart lock keeps my phone unlocked at home at night. Hopefully this gets fixed for real in a future update.

Exactly what i discover. Night mode not works when fingerprint senor is active which means on screen lock and app lock.Don't know weather they do it intentionally(to work fp sensor fine) on not but this is seriously irritating and painful to eyes.
Hi,
When my phone is set to night light and I unlock it, there's a second or two delay before the screen turns on the night light, which is really annoying in dark places. This started to happen after A10 update, all versions so far. Is there a way to fix it? I'm rooted.

This is intentional because the fingerprint scanner uses the screen's brightness (and the color green) to shine a light on your finger so that it recognizes your fingerprint.
If night light stays on, that green light will have a different shade of green, thus preventing the camera underneath the screen from taking an accurate picture of your fingerprint.

Oh, this makes sense, thanks. I wish it would be disabled for people who don't use the fingerprint scanner at all, like me.
