It seems, that the Always on Display isn't always on, when using the Smart View Flip Case.
When I close the Flipcover, then the displayed time, etc. go off after few seconds.
NFC is on and the smart case option with window is enabled.
Without the case, the always on display is off only, when something hiding the light sensor.
With the smart cover, when the flpcover hides it, the display is off.
Is there any option, that enables the AOD with the flipcase?

Same for me with the same case
Wow....too bad I didn't see this before ordering my case. Just received it today, and experiencing the same issue. AlwaysOnDisplay is clearly marked as enabled, but the smart cover only displays info for a few seconds and then goes off. Is there not a switch somewhere to make this cover stay on? I don't really care how often I need to recharge the device, so saving battery is not an issue for me. I want to be able to simply glance at the phone's smart cover and quickly see what I need to know without touching the phone. Oddly enough, without the smart cover, the AOD works just fine. Guess the "smart cover" is not too smart after all.
Flip case
I have the same problem. I contacted Huawei who said that their sample didn't have the same issue and the display is always on in the case window. I haven't been able to find a retailer with a Mate 10 Pro to test whether this is a problem with the case or with the phone.
Same issue on the P20 Pro / Smart Cover, have tweeted them but expect little response.

Guys, there is a setting for it disabling screen if put in your pocket. the phone thinks the case is in your pocket. Try turninf off the Touch Disable mode switch located under smart Assistance. that or try the smart cover settings.

I found that a lot of the time, when I take my phone out of my pocket and open the flip cover, double tap to wake doesn't work.
I played around with this a lot and I've figured out that if I wait a few seconds after flipping back the cover, double tap works.
If I leave the phone out on my desk with the flip cover open, double tap always works.
So the problem seems to be that the flip cover of my case is blocking the sensor (proximity?) on the face of the phone. I guess that sensor needs a few seconds of light before it wakes up and recognizes the double tap to wake.
My question is - how can I change this? I'd like the sensor to stay awake all the time so that I can double tap the screen the instant I flip open the flip cover.
Any ideas? This seems like maybe something the xposed framework could do with the right module.
I don't think it relies on light at all.
My phone works with knock code in the dark just fine.
Also, doesn't opening a circle case usually turn the screen on?

I can confirm that covering up the light sensor with your thumb for a few seconds while the screen is off prevents Knock-on from working even after multiple attempts. Mine allowed knock-on to work instantly after removing my thumb. So I'm not sure about the OP's problem.

Disable swipe shortcuts?
Is there a way to disable these swipe shortcuts on the second screen when the main screen is off? I keep mine in my pocket and the phone keeps turning on the flashlight, etc. while inside my pocket because it's triggering these shortcuts.
I like the second screen being on for notifications and such (especially because there is no notification light ) but like this morning I got to work at 92% battery because my phone was running the flashlight for my entire 10 minute commute.

The screen shouldn't be staying on in your pocket. It uses the proximity/light sensor to to shut it off when it's covered up.

"Shouldn't be" but it is. I also have pulled out my phone to be greeted with "You have incorrectly entered your knock code 5 times".
EDIT: I'm just now thinking this may be an issue with the tempered glass screen protector. After I get a case on it I will see if taking that off helps the prox sensor respond better.

I've turned the flashlight on plenty of times by mistake. When I grab the phone by the top with a couple of fingers and put it in the arm rest in the car, I'll notice that I have inadvertently turned the flashlight on.

Yeah... that's why I just wish I could turn those shortcuts off altogether since I really don't need them and I activate them by mistake way more than I do on purpose. I like second screen, but don't like that it can activate functions/change volume while the phone is locked and there's no way to prevent that besides totally disabling it while the screen is off...

Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.

Thank you for your time!
The simple user experience of unlocking the device on is so bad on Pixel 6. There's just no winning option.
Smart Lock randomly kicks in, so I can't be sure that a single tap of the screen will turn on the phone.
The fingerprint sensor sucks, and requires a tap on the screen just to bring it up. And sometimes I don't even get the option to use my fingerprint.
I don't even like the single-tap gesture to begin with. It means I'm accidentally turning my screen on all the time just when carrying the phone. It almost started a call with my deadbeat father, who I haven't talked to in 20 years
I could go with no screen lock but then I'm locked out of several key features (like viewing my account passwords). Also, pressing the Power button at all on a phone this big is cumbersome, since I then have to reposition my entire hand to go from pressing it to then interacting with the screen.
I'm already rooted because I absolutely needed the Back button to be on the right side. Now I'm hoping modders can fix the unlocking experience because it's the next big issue in my mind.
The fingerprint scanner is actually very good if you set it up right, and will always be displayed with always on display... No tap required. Problem solved

This is not my experience at all. Sometimes I get a fingerprint sensor icon. Other times my phone is unlocked via Smart Lock and I get an Unlock icon in place of the fingerprint sensor. Other times I get a Lock icon indicating Smart Lock is expired. Other times I get no icon there at all.
If the fingerprint sensor is there and I'm on the dimmed screen, sometimes it'll just light up and deny, and other times it won't even acknowledge that I've put my finger on the sensor.
If the Unlock icon is there, it requires a tap to unlock (no holding!). So that means I have to actually look at the screen and discern which icon is there to know whether I need to tap or hold.
And Lift to Check Phone would be even more problematic for me, since I'm trying to avoid accidental screen interactions and this would only cause more.
On all my other Pixel phones I just touch the back fingerprint sensor and the phone is on. I don't have to think about a dozen different possible states the phone could be in every time I want to turn it on.
Have you tried to recalibrate it via the Pixel tool thing Google has?

It sounds like smartlock working as intended (which I find useless, and poor security). It will give you an unlock icon instead of the fingerprint. Maybe you simply don't want smart unlock, which is more useful for password only. This seems like more of a matter of figuring out what features you want to use.
If you changed the Animation Scale in Developer Settings then the AOD fingerprint icon can disappear.

Try setting up the fingerprint scanner again, slightly moving your finger with ever press during set up to get every angle and view of the print. It's been pretty much perfect for me. I suppose Google could have helped instruct people to do that better in the process.

This is just one example of the inconsistencies. I haven't changed the animation settings either.
I did see it happen a couple of times in your stream. I don't recall seeing that on mine, but I haven't been looking for it. The only other thing I can suggest is make sure you have the latest updates and/or factory reset.
Edit - I tried to replicate your stream, and the sensor showed in all 30 attempts for me. For whatever it's worth, so might be something specific to your device, maybe settings or software issue

Guess you don't know anything about cars. You can start and stop a fuel injected car until the battery dies, and nothing will happen to the engine or fuel system. (Yes, the battery will die if you keep starting the car and tuning it off right away) Just as proof of this, most modern cars shut off the engine when you come to a stop, and restart when you let off the brake. If you're in stop and go traffic, the engine will shut off and turn on repeatedly in a short amount of time nd distance.
Now with classic cars and motorcycles, you my flood the carb with repeated starts. Not a big deal, and not any kind of damage.
The only "damage" in repeatedly starting a car would be normal wear and tear on the starter. They do have a finite lifespan. But again, not damage, just use.
