Main question: is the light sensor always on even if I turn off the "automatic brightness" in Display settings?
If the answer is no, I might have to reconsider the usage about light sensor lock.
(I thought the sensor is working at all time, so add the light sensor lock would not draing the battery faster)

Usually, the light sensor is used for adapting the screen/display light/brightness in relation to the environment light/brightness.
At least when you have enabled auto-brightness in menu "Settings" > "Display" > "Auto-Brightness".
So, the screen brightness will be reduced in the darkness to safe battery power.
If you have disabled the light sensor, you should also disable auto-brightness and set a fixed birghtness level.
Good luck !

Hi guys
I tried searching everywhere for two apps and can't find anything. I think it would be really simple but since there is no app to do this I find it strange, or maybe people don't need this...
The first one is a way to turn the screen on when I receive a notification on my watch (when ambient mode is off). I have a ticwatch E and find it really annoying to not have an option for this. Does anyone have any solution?
The other is brightness control when in ambient mode. I would like to lower the brightness of the watch when it is in ambient mode. I know that there was an app to do this (swapp true brightness or something like this) but it no longer works. Does anyone know one that works?
I found it is annoying too, I own a Ticwatch S and I want to turn off the Ambient light too but it can't pop up notification on screen after turning it off , also I wanted to turn down the brightness of the Ambient light because it make burn in on my screen after 4 month didn't change watch face
Hello, i've recently bought an Amazfit Stratos but i've a problem with my transreflective display.
If i set backlight to zero the display leave a little bit of backlight activated, so you can see a somekind of "a lighthouse in the night effect" especially in a dark room or in a place with low lights.
Is there a way to set the backlight completely off or to deactivate the always on display so that i can turn it on with buttons or doubletap?
Thank you for your reply!
So before upgrading to the Nord N105G I had a OnePlus 6T, which was a very reliable phone. I had it since launch, and I got very used to the behavior of the ambient display.
I didn't have any of those new-fangled features enabled like Smart Lock or Face Unlock, but I did use the fingerprint scanner but that's neither here nor there.
The display behavior I expect is that a single-tap will turn on the display (from completely off) to the black ambient display with the clock on it. Double tap to wake works just fine, but single tap does not.
Also possibly related: On the 6T I could use quick gestures to launch the flashlight etc from either a display-off state or the ambient display. However, on the Nord, quick gestures do not work on the ambient display - they can only be triggered when the display is fully off. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Also, I'm curious. If I use Titanium Backup (rooted) to back up the old Ambient Display app from the OP6T and then restore it to the new phone I wonder if they'd play nice. Might fiddle a bit...
No.
This isn't the same phone by a long shot and the display is one of those big changes.
Ambient display and it's features are limited to oled (and derivatives) screens.
At most, you'd be lucky if the app even registers.

I totally get what you're saying, and you seem knowledgeable, so you're likely right. However, other than the quirks I've described the Ambient display works exactly the same as it did on the OP6T.
For example, Plus Beat still works even though it hasn't been supported since shortly after the release of the 6t. It was designed for an OLED display as a replacement for a standard notification LED (Lighting up a few pixels on an OLED screen IS essentially a notification LED). Plus Beat will wake the N105G's ambient display and display the exact same notification info; obviously its lighting up the entire display to do this, but whatever foundation was originally laid to wake the ambient display doesn't seem to have changed.
So, when I find the time to flash the newest TWRP and make a backup, I will fiddle with it anyway, because contrary to your statement, I think the OP6T ambient display app will replace the N105G's app just fine. Whether the native Android settings will hook into it functionally or not is a whole different beast.
Ambient Display is useless for IPS screens. I use Glimpse Notifications, it normally turns on the screen and a bunch of settings

I don't understand why you'd prefer lighting the lock screen with Glimpse Notifications when Plus Beat still functions as a notification LED (with info) on the black background ambient display. It's not true black obviously because it's not an OLED display, but it's pretty close.
