Do you use ambient display?

So guys, was wondering if you use ambient display and if you do have you done tests for the difference in battery life?

I use it, the amount of battery that it uses is negligible.

Never works for me. Always turns on in the dark when laid on table idle. Never bothered to look into fixing because it's not a necessity for me.

Don't use or require for my usage...

I have it switched on, but it really doesn't matter, once I pick the phone up, I switch it on.

It drains a lot

Does it? How much?

No it really doesn't.

I use it. Battery drain is very low. Anyway I wish it was more accurate. The screen turn on every time I put it on the table and sometimes when I take it, it should be the opposed.

I feel with native notification light, ambient display is kinda redundant.

Hmm interesting I've been going on a little bit of a wake lock crackdown lately and ambient display adds another wake lock....... Didn't know if it would destroy battery....... Haha

In my usage in a 12 hour period, my phone is only awake for less than half an hour when I'm not actually using it.

I don't. I find it annoying personally. I like setting the brightness manually via the drop down menu to exactly where I want it when I need to.

I think you're thinking of adaptive brightness, not ambient display, two different things.

Nope. I found it comes on way too often, whether I pick the phone up or not. I use double tap to wake, so I just double tap the screen when I need it on

I know. I had to call out the statement.

LOL yes.....thank you H!
I do use ambient display. I find it a very simple yet extremely convenient feature.

I would if it worked properly. It's just so inconsistent. Sometimes I pick it up and nothing. Other times it works. Just very inconsistent.

100% agree. It would be a great feature, if it actually worked as intended. But since it's so inconsistent it's more of just an annoying gimmick. I turn Ambient Display off first thing whenever I flash a new ROM.

It's a shame to see that Ambient Display isn't working for some people, it works perfectly for me, every time. I receive a notification, it triggers. I pick my phone up into an upright position, it triggers.

I wish to see an update for the AOD to be able to add whatsapp or other apps, for me useless now...

I don't use AOD, don't need it. However, I could see why it's only for radio-based notifications. It makes sense for AOD to only register for radio-based events (which are always awake anyway) and not listen to other app-based notifications as it may require additional wakes, etc. It's an unproven theory, I'd admit.

Since April update aod clock is stationary on screen, not moving around anymore. Factory reset didn't help, neither the last two app updates.

mine still moves around. I only use it when the phone's plugged in at night though.

[Q] Phone vibration on screen lock/screen off

How can I turn this off? It's driving me crazy. It does like a double vibrate very time the screen times out or I hit the power button to turn it off...

I've got the same issue with vibrations. When I disabled notifications for Light Flow it stopped.
Contacted the support for Light Flow and got this answer:
Hi
I'm aware of this from other users and so yesterday I ordered a oneplus 5 to specifically look into this. It should be delivered early next week and I'll then be seeing what I can do.
Cheers, Andrew

Thanks, lets update this thread when we get a better answer. Subscribed

Subscribed. Having this problem as well with Light Flow. Hopefully he can figure it out! Would also be really nice if he could figure out how to control the blink rate as it doesn't seem to make a difference what the rate setting is in Light Flow.
This issue happens during a call too with the proximity sensor leaves the ear enough to turn the screen on/off.
Will you please keep us up to date if you have further communications with the developer of Light Flow and hopefully pass on the feedback on blink rate?

Update available, fixed the problem ?

Fixed it for me as well. I'm not too worried about the notification but I'd sure like to see the flash rate work!

True , flash rate hasn't work for me on OnePluses for a while now

Does repeating sounds or repeating vibrations work for you?
Led works fine but those 2 not.

Idea For App?

can someone make and app to turn the edge display led into a battery level? that would be pretty awesome

Accubattery Suggestion- Should I Follow and Disable Optimization?

Hi all- I have Accubattery on my 6T and it informs me that the Oneplus battery optimization is terrible and should be disabled. Anyone know if this it true? I have noticed a big difference either way.
Thanks..........mm

It doesn't but some notifications are delayed or don't pop up at all when battery optimization is on. I'm not exactly sure about the implementation of this feature but i think it's got sth to do with ram management. In that case disabling it would probably increase performance..
