It shouldn't pulse unless you have it selected in the filter. If none are selected it defaults to everything.

It has no name on purpose as a work around for one plus putting the app name on the ambient display.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] cdmelloca:
How do you use the Notification Actions feature? I tried swiping on the notification from the ambient display but it keeps pulsing?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DrRichardQuack:
Thanks for the quick reply [MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] ; much appreciated.

In that case, something isn't functioning quite right. I've ticked-on the apps for which I want Pixel Pulse notifications several times (by checking the "Pulse" box to the right of each entry in the Filter list), but the checkmarks are being cleared somehow. I thought I was taking crazy pills, but I've checked the boxes twice now and gone back into the Filter list to find all of them unchecked again.

Also, I tested it just now by checking only one app (BlueMail), but I am still seeing Pulsing for other apps' notifications. If I go back into the Filter list, the checkmark is still there, so it seems like they're being cleared intermittently. I'm definitely not hitting the "Clear All" button.

I suppose one additional point of clarification is relevant here: does the filter list outright exclude unchecked apps from being shown at all during Pulse notifications? Or will they still appear if one of the checked apps is also in the pending notification queue?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] nanodan:
I've noticed that the filter doesn't work for me either. It pulses for all notifications and ignores the selected apps in filter.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
First and foremost, I have to commend you on your writing and grammar skills coupled with your choice of words (in your long post). Was very elegant to read haha -- are you a writer?

Second, I dont have this problem.. If you had this app installed for awhile, try clearing the apps cache, then reboot your phone.. Seems as though some of the problems are fixed doing that... If you'd like to go a step further, wipe the apps cache, reboot into recovery, wipe the phones cache, and then reboot..

If you just installed this app, do what i said above regardless LOL.. But idk, i dont have this problem. I have apps selected that i want to pulse, and those are the only ones i see.

Also, if you want to remove the "Pixel Pulse is Running" notification, go into settings > Apps > pixel pulse > notifications > and uncheck Pixel Pulse Running

Try what i suggested above and let us know if that fixes your guys' problem
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
No, it should mean only apps that are selected will pulse (except for the first one that's handled by the os).

That's odd that they aren't saving for you. Maybe try hitting back until you exit the app? For some reason the preference isn't being saved for you.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DrRichardQuack:
That's very kind; thank you! I'm no more a writer than I am a doctor! :laugh: I do spend a lot of time writing, though (mostly on StackOverflow and similar). I'm a web developer by profession.

Very good; I've noted the steps you recommended and will give those a try shortly.

Thanks for clarifying the intended behavior.

I did try hitting Back to exit out of the Settings and all the way out of the app before posting about the checkboxes not "sticking", so it seems the cause may lie elsewhere.

I tried checking just one app (BlueMail) and using the Back key in the manner you suggested (once to exit the Pulse Filter menu, and once more to exit the app), gave it a couple hours, and came back into Pixel Pulse, and the box was still checked for BlueMail. And, indeed, I seemed to be receiving Pulse notifications only for BlueMail. Problem solved!

But not so fast! I tried rebooting, just to see if the checkbox would stick, and lo! It did not! So, there's definitely an issue that, as you suggest, is preventing the settings from being saved persistently.

I'll try the steps that [MENTION=2572565]Incredible_Culp[/MENTION] suggested before I bug you any further (pardon the silly pun!); just figured I'd provide an update in the interim to confirm the odd checkbox behavior.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DrRichardQuack:
Oddly enough, even though I had only recently installed the app for the first time, clearing the app's cache and rebooting seems to have fixed most (or all) of the issues I was experiencing. Since doing that, the Pulse Filter checkboxes have remained checked, including across reboots.

Incidentally, I upgraded OxygenOS from 9.0.6 to 9.0.7 while fiddling with this, and am not sure whether that "fixed" anything or had no impact whatsoever; just figured I'd mention it.

A few other questions/observations:

1. I know I saw you mention this somewhere, [MENTION=2572565]Incredible_Culp[/MENTION] (but now I can't find where!): disabling Adaptive Battery seems to be necessary, or Pixel Pulse ceases to work after some period of time (e.g., overnight). Upon reopening the app, it resumes functioning. IMO, this should be added to the official docs and OP, as people have given mediocre reviews in the Play Store for this reason.

2. For whatever reason, it seems that changes to the Pulse Filter options don't take effect immediately. Does Pixel Pulse load its configuration only when started? Or does it reload it whenever a change is made (and if so, is it necessary to hit the Back key "all the way out of the app" for the reload to occur)?

3. I see the Pixel Pulse icon for any notification that it displays, instead of the icon of the app with which the notification is associated. Is that expected (just curious; it's not a problem as far as I'm concerned)?

This is a very useful tip and should be mentioned in the official docs or OP (I've seen users give the app a 1-star rating with this complaint, as absurd as that may be), especially if true for all supported devices (and not just the OnePlus 6T, for example).

You've earned a beer from me, [MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] !
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
Awesome! Glad its working for you!! -- I think [MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] appreciates the observations concerning the play store.. I cant stand looking at the reviews and seeing so many negative things being said when this app is brilliant and works like it should (just have to do a little bit more).. People are in such a hurry to discount everything before taking the necessary steps to either 1. isolate the problem, 2. find other remedies to combat the issue or heaven forbid 3. do a quick Google search describing the issues. This thread will definitely be one of the top results shown lol

1. I actually updated the OP on Friday (7th) to be a little more cleaner and quicker to read without all the fluff lol. With the update, I did include the battery optimization detail as I thought that was an important piece to include (as did you apparently) -- So good call on that!

2. My changes take effect immediately -- But the dev might have to speak on that one :confused:

3. This was a feature that was asked about and implemented a few updates ago.. Since the update, I haven't seen the Pixel Pulse icon for different apps.. When I receive a text (Google Messages), i see the Google Messages icon. Instagram, the Instagram icon.. So on and so forth..

I will certainly add that little tip to the OP as well! Thank ya sir -- how sad are people who give one star for a small visual like that ... Give it 4 stars (for the function of the app) and then describe the problem (or change).. Leaving 1 star for something like that WOW. :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] oval61251:
Doesnt seem like mine is working anymore. Seems to be inconsistent
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Josh McGrath:
You need to disable battery optimization for the app otherwise Android will put it in deep sleep after a while.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] oval61251:
I do quite often because the OS keeps changing it on me. I even checked that and it still wasnt working
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Erroneus:
Don't update to v1.0! Hard crash every time on start now, app is unusable right now. Hopefully dev can get it fixed fast. Clearing data does not help.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm looking into it. The only thing I can think of right now is crashlytics/proguard broke it. I'm not getting any stack traces in Android console and it works fine in debug mode when I load it from Android studio.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Erroneus:
Let me know, if I can provide any information / logs, which can help you.

I'm running a non-rooted OnePlus 6T.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
It's fixed. 1.0.1 was posted last night
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Erroneus:
Can confirm, new update fixes it. Thanks :)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] komakino76:
Hello. Looks like a vety useful app...the only thing os tjat i can't find the app in the battery optimization section. Anyone know something about this? Any help is greatly appreciated...
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] abcdavidefg:
It should be at the beginning of the list.

Look for the icon. The name was left blank. I think the developer did that on purpose to ensure to be at the top of the list
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
It's left blank because OnePlus adds the app name to notifications and it's the only way to hide it.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DrRichardQuack:
[MENTION=2572565]Incredible_Culp[/MENTION] I meant to follow-up earlier: when I bought Grokus a beer, and unlocked the "Pro" features, I began seeing the app-specific icons.

And then I realized that the "Use App Icon and color" toggle is what controls this behavior, and it is marked clearly as a Pro feature (it's greyed-out prior to donating). In other words, this was simply an oversight on my part, as I misread the toggle information and thought it controlled custom colors only. My bad!

P.S. Thanks for adding support for Quiet Hours, [MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] ! Much appreciated! Everything is working perfectly for me at this point.

Have you disabled Adaptive Battery, too?

This is a separate setting, under Settings -> Battery (just below Battery Optimization). Until I disabled that, too, Pixel Pulse would only work for a day or so.

I was a little concerned that disabling Optimization would impair battery life in some measurable way, but I haven't noticed any difference.

I did not disabled adaptive battery. I will give that a shot.

Icon issues on Oneplus 6T

Hey there,

I've setup pixel pulse on my Oneplus 6t. I've the pro version and this is me setup:

- Notify for phone calls, text messages and whatsapp

- ninja mode selected for each app with a overridden color

- At android level, I've choosen to "hide sensitive content on lock screen"

Issue:

- pixel pulse does pulse when I receive notification, but it shows pixel pulse's icon in purple; but not the individual app's icons as per my settings. I still have to unlock my phone to now

On a side note, is it possible to disable fingerprint icon on lock screen when pixel pulses on oneplus 6t?

Cheers,

VJ
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NikGi:
I cant make it work so far... I have the pro version and if you guys can give me some help will be much appreciated. On the ambient display I have everything ticked on, I have don't optimize on the battery settings, interval 15sec, timeout 0, ninja mode and WhatsApp pulse box on for now. When I get a notification it pulsed for 3 or not at all. Any ideas? Btw on the app the disable battery optimization is still showing even if I have the don't optimize enable. Cheers Nik
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Stogie87:
On my Havoc OS it worka without issues, but only if i deactivate quit hours. I recommend to disable it.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] haxelmans:
I have the same problem with quit hours. Deactivate it otherwise the app is deactivated 24/7.

Is this an abandoned project now?

Is there an alternative?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Stogie87:
I don't know, if this project will go on. I hope so. [MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION]

It would be awesome, if this app could be combined with a little green dot on the upper side of the display which appears every 2 seconds like a notification led.

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mohitash:
And what makes you to stick with oos 9.0.5 only? :confused:
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
Ha! youre right about the 'first wake' -- the first wake is handled by the stock system lol

Adding purely the icon would be brilliant :highfive:

Ahh, i see.. With our phone (my phone), the pulses do not switch between app notifications..

For example: Lets use sms, gmail, and missed call in the example..

When my phone gets a notification, say sms, pp will display the sms icon followed by the name "pixel pulse" -- the content is hidden due to "ninja mode".

When i receive a gmail notification, the stock system will handle the first wake, so itll show me the gmail notification in its entirety.

After my stock system displays the gmail notification, pp wont 'cycle' through each pulse. PP continues to "pulse" the sms notification infidelity.

Say i missed a call. In this test, i did it on purpose.. I now have 3 notifications that i havent 'read' yet; sms, gmail, and now a missed call...

PP does not cycle through each app on each pulse, it continues to show the original sms during each pulse.

Its not until i actually turn on the screen to see all the notifications i missed...

-- This instance above particularly doesnt bother me since LEDs just show a color and not each application, I'm just glad i "know" i have notification(s) now. So when i finally check my phone, i can see all the notifications i missed. If youre able to fix the 'cycle through', great. If not, im not trippin too much :cowboy:

If you need testers, I'd be glad to help

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Haha he's referring to Google taking a 30 percent cut of everything developers make (before taxes).
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nosferatu.:
Is that 100% confirmed?

I was going to try both applications out and see how they panned out. How is the Pixel Pulse not waking from doze/sleep whereas the other one is?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolguy:
Thought this only works for Samsung ones for edge displays ?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
That app you referenced places an overlay on top of the lock screen and keeps the screen on. Doze is based on screen on (and not locked state).

Pixel pulse doesn't do this.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vledderos:
Just from the introduction it seems like a potential app and installed it. I selected all apps and set interval to 8 seconds.

I have 2 notifications active (maps & whatsapp). Now when turning the screen off I see that the pulse is coming every 60 seconds (not 8) and it shows only 1 notification (maps). So yeah it has potential but the bugs stop me from using/buying it

suggestion: I'm kinda missing a filter/quick search in app list
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I may have a fix for multiple notifications coming. I'm posting to beta now. Try turning off battery optimizations, also. Or keeping the pulse interval at least 30 seconds.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] peteus:
App started working properly after I restarted the phone! Thanks for improving it ?. Any way to adjust brightness?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vledderos:
I will update. I'll keep you posted on new findings if any.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] peteus:
Maybe worth mentioning, at default setting, you will see pixel plus icon running, in-between other notifications on ambient display. You can disable it and still receive notifications as usual. See screenshot.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
I'm still getting the "Pixel Pulse" text next to the icon while in Ninja mode ...

Let me uninstall the app and reinstall it.. I'll report back

EDIT: nvm.. it hasnt been updated yet lol
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeanxx:
Not at all, edge notification apps are made by 3rd party developers and work on any screen. Hell, I even used it on my HTC 10 with a crappy LCD ?

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] _superman:
Not working for me ?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ef_x:
Great idea! Unfortunately not working for me as well. Once I turn off the screen I only get a notification for Pulse itself. But once a notification for any other app arrives, it wakes up the display one time, but never again.

Any ideas for a fix? Ambient display is enabled and permissions are set up properly.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hisee:
It's getting killed randomly
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jabbeboy:
Didn't it "Explicitly" said in the OP that ambient display should be disabled ?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ef_x:
Well no :) It says:

How to use:

- Must have ambient display enabled (i just have the 'tap to touch' slider on)

- Have 'New Notifications' - wake screen when you receive new notifications also enabled (this just allows Pixel Pulse to take over how to display the notifications).

And that's exactly how I've set it up. Sometimes I get one pulse notification but no more than that. It also completely ignores the set intervals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Can you try the beta version and let me know if that helps?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ef_x:

[MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] great work. I am using beta with pro version on my 6T.

I can see that its automatically rotating with all notifications but the app name is showing up as pixel pulse for all of them instead of the particular app's name. Also is it possible to show all the notifications at once rather than rotating among all of them? Or in ninja mode show all the icons in a single line?

Is it normal that it doesn't display clock while pulsing?

Attached are my current settings i have disabled battery optimizations as well but as mentioned by few people sometimes it just stops working and I have to relaunch the app.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm working on that. Android seems to be pretty aggressive in killing things. I've even seen it actively running still on my device by Android refusing to turn on ambient display.

It restarts itself when new notifications come in if it's currently down, adding a few other checks now.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

I might be able to do that for op6t. Your display is different than mine, mine will only show one at a time so the app scrolls. What's the max yours can show?

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Can someone try to tell me the ID of the double tap sensor on op6t?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vledderos:
Running the beta (channel) now. Seeing that it sometimes shows old (dismissed) notifications.

The double tap and swipe to clear don't work for me. Where should we be able to find the ID of the double tap sensor?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hisee:
It's killing services? Is it sticky service?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Yea, I think I just fixed that. Should be posted later this morning.

You'd need an app that lists the ID. Not sure it's even worth it for op6t depending on what your built in double tap already does.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Not really the service but it stops respecting scheduled tasks to preserve battery it seems.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hisee:
OH I think it's Android service new restrictions
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Even alarm manager documentation says it's restricted to once per minute now and can be even longer in doze.

Check job scheduler may be its helps
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'll take a look at that tonight and see if makes a difference
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vledderos:
I have devCheck installed by flar2. It lists all sensors. Dunno actually which sensor you're looking for in the list (there's no double tap sensor named as such) or which app to use. btw I'm rooted.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
The pixel has a double tap to wake that lists a small view of mini icons. I'm replacing that with my version of the wake and wondering if it's useful for op6t.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ef_x:
I've joined the beta program and spent a couple of hours testing with the new version, but unfortunately still no success for me.

Sometimes the pulse notification comes on once, but most of the times there's no notification at all, at least not after the initial system wake notification.

And if there is a notification after the first one, it only shows "Pixel Pulse" and (in case of whatsapp and text messages) the name of the contact, but no text or information or nothing.

I've deactivated the battery optimization for all relevant apps, turned off intelligent battery, given the notification access, and have wake up on new notifactions enabled.

As said before, the idea is great, but so far I can't get it to work properly. But of course I'm glad to help testing it further and will happily donate if there's a stable and reliable version.

Thanks for your efforts!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] peteus:
It should reduce battery, but, assuming OLED display uses electricity to power only active pixels, and assuming brightness is low in ambient mode, the impact should be negligible.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vledderos:
I see. Double tap on op6t just wakes up the lock screen. Nothing more. No mini icons whatsoever.

I thought you needed the sensor ID to make the gestures work (like swiping to dismiss the notification) since that's not working on my op6t
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] kantjer:
Same for me, been trying for days now. Can't get it to show any notification.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mx109:
