Hi, I have App Version 2.4.4

When the phone is in my pocket and I pull it out, it displays. (Works as it should)

Although. If the phones on the kitchen side or something and I pick it up. AcDisplay doesn't turn my screen on?
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I have found dynamic notification is perfect in this regards .But ac has lots more potentiality, specially music widgets field.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Kitchen side? What do mean?
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
Well I mean a table, arm of the sofa, bed side table ect...

If I put my phone on a table and then pick it up isn't it supposed to wake the screen like it does when you pull the phone from your pocket?
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Are you setting it down face down? Unless something has changed I believe it still relies on the proximity sensor which doesn't function face up on a table.
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
No the screen is facing up, towards god ;)
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
The sensor isn't capable of sensing the proximity to god, only to other earthly objects.
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
Haha, good shout. So I have to start putting it down anal side up?
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I think it will work better that way.

I'm having issues with 2.4.4. The proximity sensor is no longer reliably waking the phone from my pocket. For now I've dropped back to 4.2.2 which works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] roofrider:
I've no problems with the latest version.

The sensor has to be closed for like 5 secs for acdisplay to be able to wake the phone up. A customizable sensor timeout will solve it.

Unreliable Active Notification

Hi, I just installed AcDisplay for the first time on my OnePlus One and added integration with Tasker. I have active display set, but the phone almost never wakes when I receive a notification. When it does wake, it happens only when I take it out of my pocket, never when its face down and I flip it up. Even then, it seems like it only wakes 20% of the time.

I have been going through the thread, but it seems like this was a known bug a few versions ago, but has been fixed in the most recent version.

Anything I'm missing? How exactly does active notification work? Which sensors does it rely on?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
What version did you install? Active mode depends on the proximity sensor to determine if it's in a pocket.
[Android Apps and Games] jon6fingrs:
I installed the latest version from the play store- 2.4.5.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Sorry, in my initial post, I meant to say that I added integration with Xposed, not Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Does your proximity sensor work properly in a voice call? OPO seem to have a lot of hardware problems (and cm has been a buggy mess for some time). Doesn't cm have some sort of flip to silence mode? Maybe that's interfering with the sensor with ac display. I find the last few versions pretty perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] jon6fingrs:
Yes, the sensor works properly for voice calls as far as I can tell, but maybe you're right. I'll see how things go after the next OPO system update which is supposed to be early this month.

I think it does have flip to silence, but I'm not sure how that would affect things since none of these notifications were actually phone calls.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I figured the flip to silence could be eating any proximity sensor interrupts before Acdisplay received them...
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Most requested feature, ever.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Not really, it has been requested just a few times. Not nearly as much as breathing mode for example.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
I'm no programmer, but I'd guess this is a simple thing to be done.

The most useful feature imho would be motion wake, but without a low power core that'd be deadly for our batteries.

Maybe when Qualcomm decides to outsource the low power core documentation.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
By a couple people over and over. :D
[Android Apps and Games] supposition:
It doesn't integrate well when the xposed module is actived. I can still access recent apps without unlocking the phone.

Help

Hi guys

This is a great app, i love it. I am using Samsung S4 4.4.2.

I wiped my device, after reinstalling ACdisplay (From the market) I am unable to get the circled theme?

I tick it, but it stays the normal theme?

I also tried various versions including the latest version from github, still the same?

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
That's not a theme, that's the shape of the notification icon.
[Android Apps and Games] ^^rac:
Thanks, but how do i fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
It's not broken so you don't. It does exactly what it's supposed to.
[Android Apps and Games] ^^rac:
Maybe you should read the question slowly...
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Maybe you should read my answer slowly. It changes the notification thumbnail to a round one. That's all it does.
[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
This is going to be my new signature.
[Android Apps and Games] ^^rac:
It does not work, so its broken.....

When i tick it, it still gives me the standard notification.

Please read this. It is a graphic explanation of what I said twice now.
[Android Apps and Games] jutopa:
Great app but..,

If I lock the phone with a WhatsApp/Telegram CONVERSATION open,if I got a message from the same person (ac displays launches) but wait 5 seconds (phone turns screen off again) and unlock phone manually, as usual, the notification is gone, and it mark it as readed. Is really anoying because, sometimes I think I don't have notification, and then unlock phone and manually enter to Whatsapp/telegram and find out that have message mark as readed and has never been seen by me. The problem is solved if when I'm done with the app, I go to home screen in my launcher an THEN lock the phone. This make it work correctly. But sometimes I forgot, so it's useless
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Notifications are managed by Android.

This app only catches them.
[Android Apps and Games] jutopa:
Yeah, but it looks like Acdisplay isn't recognized as a lock screen when a notification arrives with a chat open. So, if Acdisplays runs with an incoming notification, Android thinks you are opening the chat, instead of only looking at your Acdisplay lockscreen with notification.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
That's because android doesn't support custom lockscreens. It does support apps running over other apps though and so it still allows for apps acting like a lockscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] jutopa:
Ok. I asked hoping someone has a solution for this.

PD: Actually, it's solved if you enable Acdisplay as your permanent lockscreen. But since Acdisplay don't have custom app shorcuts I think I might go back and unistall
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Really considerate of you to come here say that.
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
How do I disable the annoying immersive mode message that pops up when I take my phone out of my pocket?? (The blue bar that tell me the phone has gone into immersive mode and toy have to press OK)

Its soooo bloody annoying
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
This bar
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
By clicking "Ok" in the pop up
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
Yeah but it comes back again after a while...
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
You can use the Xposed module. It's an android feature but it's annoying as hell.
[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
Don't like using exposed.. Makes my phone feel clogged up if you get me :)
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
I don't use it either but it's the only way to get rid of the message.
[Android Apps and Games] jutopa:
what's wrong with you? Just come to say thinking that that might be a bug, and then say that because I figured out that solution. Stop whining..
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
It's more than annoying. Every time I get it it locks my screen in off mode for several (maybe 5) seconds. When this happens it feels like you are locked out of your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
What if I told you, nobody cares whether you're uninstalling the app or not.
[Android Apps and Games] s.c.s.i.:
Hi,

I emailed the developer just before finding this thread, but I thought I might as here as well.

Is it possible to somehow make the current notification be automatically displayed? Right now, when I receive a notification, the screen turns on, the beautiful AcDisplay is shown with the clock and the notification icon. I then need to tap the new notification icon in order to see the notification.

This would be great for when you have the phone on the desk next to you. You could glance at the notification without having to interact with the phone.

I'm guessing this isn't implemented as I can't find any option for it, so if that is the case, please conceder this a humble feature request :)

Thanks!

Daniel
[Android Apps and Games] Dearborn1977:
Anyone know where I can get v2.3.1? Notifications getting "stuck" in my status bar has made 2.4.x unusable.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Revert to the 2.3.1 tag and compile
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Sweet, delicious Android goodness, THIS is why I love Android so! New S4, 24hrs use, and already it's my favorite feature/app. Fantastic work dev, zero problems at all for me, although when music is paying and I turn screen on while charging the charging icon/percentage isn't displayed, should it be like when no music is playing?
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Is it me doing it wrong or just not a feature yet, but when I have say 3 emails, tapping the icon opens the list but I can't take action on each individual one, like delete or reply, I can only open the gmail app. Is this possible to deal with each email separately or is it limited by Android os?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
There is only one notification. So this is correct.
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
Is there any way to change the color of the text and icons?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Compile your own version
[Android Apps and Games] Dearborn1977:
You got a free thanks due to my clumsy thumbs but telling people to compile their own version is rude, like somebody asking if their car has a certain feature and instead of just saying no, you tell them to build their own car.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
So as Android itself presents notifications together, unactionably, acd can't get around this too enable individual emails to be actioned-is that correct?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
It's like someone asks you if pancakes have meat in then and you respond, "They can if you make your own"
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
His response is simply true, though. It's not hard if you know how to compile an app (which isn't that hard either – AcDisplay uses gradle which does most of the setting up work for you), but it's the only way at the moment.

You might see the answer as rude, but it's really the truth, even if you don't like it... And it's certainly more complete and accurate than "no".
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I think everyone knows that when typhoon asked the question " is there any way" he was asking if the app could be modded. Yes, technically rolling your own is an answer but it was more like a blunt if you don't like it tough do it yourself. User's don't appreciate being answered like that by anyone, not just arrogant developers.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
I don't see how the answer was rude, though, or how a "no" would be better. But I suppose that's just me, so I'm not going to argue further. :)
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
I thought the idea was that we're all developers here. My answer explained how he could do what he asked, nothing more nothing less.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

That's correct. AcDisplay is really just a new interface to the notification bar so if the notification bar can't do it chances are AcDisplay can't either.

I've been searching through XDA but I haven't been able to find an answer

I've got a Note 3 with one of those nice s-view covers.

Is there a way to get this app (or a similar one) to work in the window in this cover?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
No, at this moment there isn't.
[Android Apps and Games] cdzo72:
You know it's hard to swallow when those that believe they are somehow entitled take it upon themselves to call a developer if a FREE app arrogant... so if anyone doesn't like the cold hard truth then they should leave XDA
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Actually I've donated, so maybe because you have not you believe no one else has done so. That donation makes this one of my pricier apps. Thanks for telling me you're the one who decides who is worthy. I was wondering who held that position.

EDIT: Technically speaking I thought AC was the developer?
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Would a grace period be possible or is this Android-set? That is, reading something and the screen times out turning off, but pressing the power button within say 2 seconds unlocks the screen again rather than launching acdisplay and having to unlock the screen manually. I had this on an old Desire rom and it's super useful. (And I know I can change the screen timeout buy I don't want that)
[Android Apps and Games] trveller72:
I think this app is beautiful as it is: black and white with a touch of red.

This app is simple and light, so please do not make it heavy with some useless colours and icon settings.

Add it was already replied : you don't like it, you are free to build your own.

Fair answer.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Let's please put a stop to the argument here, there's no need to accuse and bash other users because they don't share your opinion. As a rule of thumb… please assume good faith instead of seeing negative replies as a personal attack.

This is a general warning. (For TapaTalk users: this is coming from a moderator.)

Correct, he's the main developer (by a wide margin :p).
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Am I right in thinking dismissing the AcDisplay notification doesn't dismiss the Android notification itself? Email notifications are still in the taskbar, WhatsApp messages still open up despite being dismissed. Forgive my dumbness I wasn't sure if this was supposed to or not.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
It's supposed to and it does for me. How do you dismiss the notifications? Swiping down is the action to dismiss them.
[Android Apps and Games] swarls:
First of all great app! Immediately donated for your great work.

But I'm not sure if it's intended to always turn on the screen, even if it is in your pocket?(my device has a dodgy proximity sensor, so I'm not sure if it isn't just my device). But if not wouldn't it save battery if it first checks the proximity sensor before turning the screen on? I know active mode uses the proximity sensor, but it seems to turn on the screen for a few seconds before it gets turned off again by the sensor. (again not sure if it isn't just my device)
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Yep, swiping down words, but WhatsApp popup notifications are still visible when I next unlock with the popup setting on 'popup when screen is on' - does AcD's lockscreen even when off count as screen being on for this setting?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Yes it does since it'll wake up the screen when recieving a notification.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Does anyone know if, even with Active mode disabled, the app will keep turning on the screen upon receiving a notification, even if it's in our pocket?

If so, it'd be wise to have the app check the proximity sensor prior to lighting up the screen, no?
[Android Apps and Games] djmigues:
Do you have wake on notification enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Is there an official to-do list? I'd love some kind of grace period for the screen timeout whereby pressing the power button unlocks the screen without AcDisplay immediately coming in to force - great for reading things when the screen times out too quickly.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
You can set the screen on time. It would be awake in either case, so not much difference.
[Android Apps and Games] nycebo:
I have the same observation as kicksilver. And yes, I have the wake on notification enabled. If I didn't wouldn't the screen NOT turn on if it was just sitting in my desk and NOT in my pocket? It seems like the preferred method of action should be check proximity sensor....if in pocket then keep screen off....in not in pocket, then turn on screen. Is it possible to set the options to allow for that workflow? At present, I can't figure it out. Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Put your finger over the prox sensor and send yourself an email...easy to check out. I believe it's not supposed to light up in your pocket.

On another note, I find the music controls are pretty inconsistent (I use AC Display as lockscreen). I was using PocketCasts for 40 minutes this morning. The first half of the time, there were no lockscreen controls, the second half they were present. I can always tell because my headphone remote button only works when the lockscreen controls are present.
[Android Apps and Games] roofrider:
Active Mode ON = Proximity sensor enabled = Screen doesn't turn ON upon the arrival of a notification if the phone is in your pocket (sensor covered), but will turn ON if it is on your desk facing the heavens.

Active Mode OFF = Proximity sensor is disabled, and with it you lose the above feature.
[Android Apps and Games] nycebo:
Thanks for the clarification. That would be my expected and desired behavior. Alas, in order to get the screen to display while my HTC One M8 GPE (android 4.4) sitting face up on my desk, 'wake up on notification' needs to be enabled. However, if when the proximity sensor is covered (to simulate being in a pocket), and a notification comes through, the screen does wake up for a second or two before the proximity sensor via Active Mode directs the screen to quickly turn off. Then, when I uncover the proximity sensor, the AcDisplay pops up on the screen, functioning correctly by design.

As was mentioned in a couple threads below, it would seem more 'efficient from a screen and battery perspective' to keep the screen off completely when the new notification comes through of the proximity sensor is covered. Which begs the question, is anyone else noticing this behavior on other devices and ROMs?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] wilkster:
I have a stock rooted LG G2 and the screen only comes on when the proximity sensor is uncovered.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Hi!

AcDisplay is great, thanks for this great app, running fine on Moto G with CM11.

However, I have a suggestion.

Could you please add this option under Settings > Background > Blurred see-through background from active desktop?

http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/thumbs/2/5/2/4/5/8/2/2524582.jpg
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I don't think you're understanding my question: http://www.screensaversplanet.com/help/basics/windows/screen-saver-grace-period.html basically an AcDisplay grace period would rock-just a few seconds after screen going off pressing the power button will unlock the screen completely rather than instantly going to the AcDisplay lockscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] nycebo:
Does that remain the case 'while' you receive a new notification? In other words, place your device on the table, turn off the screen, cover the proximity sensor, and then from a computer, email yourself a message so that you get an alert notification. Does the device not wake at all for you? If not, then clearly it's a device specific issue for me. Thanks for helping me chase this issue down...or perhaps to better identify it. Cheers. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] the_happy_cannibal:
I ran the test on my Razr HD and got the same result as roofrider.

With the sensor covered the device does not wake even when wake on notification is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Is there a list of the functionality added by the Xposed module? "Disable home button" is all I see, but I can't tell what that is.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Logic says that, even without Active Mode, the app should check if the sensor is covered prior to turning on the screen on notification arrival.

Battery-wise, that's as good as it gets.

I don't know if it already does that, but if not, I guess [MENTION=3685328]AChep[/MENTION] could take a look into this.
[Android Apps and Games] djangosteen:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
It disables home button behavior if it's a lockscreen. It also disables the annoying immersive mode panic popup.
[Android Apps and Games] nycebo:
Let me say thanks for the help testing it out. I ran some tests on my end to see if I could figure out why I was having an undesired and, as in both your cases, an unexpected experience.

Preface: I'm running HTC One M8 GPE.

First: I thought to reboot to see if the app needed to initiate on start. No joy.

Second: I thought to disable Motion Launcher to see if the screen-off gestures were having an impact. Again, no joy.

Third: Then I thought to try a different launcher since I currently use Nova Launcher with a LOT of options configured. So, I reverted back to the stock Google Now Launcher and VOILA! AcDisplay does NOT turn on the screen when notifications arrive with the proximity sensor covered. SWEET!

Now, I am going to go back to Nova Launcher and play with some of the options to see if I can figure out which one is creating a screen-on/off conflict with AcDisplay. Very excited.

Thanks again all for your help proving to me that the app is functioning as coded. Just happy to know it is something on my end.

Cheers. :good:

UPDATE: I figured out the Nova setting that was 'waking' the screen to AcDisplay upon receiving notifications with teh p, even with Active Mode enabled. In the Nova Settings menu, under Look and Feel -> App Animation needs to be on 'System'. I had switched it to the 'Slide Up' option to simulate the L Developer Preview. All is good now. Using Nova, using AcDisplay with Active Mode enabled AND notifications do NOT wake the screen if the proximity sensor is covered. Sweet.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I use nova with L animation and don't have this issue

Had the proximity sensor covered for about 1 minute, sent myself an email and.... the screen lighted up. :(

Hope they can address this.

(Active mode - off, turn on screen on notification - on)
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
So then it did exactly as it's supposed to.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Imho, I don't think it is supposed to wake the device if you aren't able to actually see the screen, whether it's in your pocket, or laying on a desk face down.

Seems like useless battery waste.
