Hello,

I have 2 Problems on my S24+ with aodnotify.

1. aodnotify shows the content of a notification even though I disabled it in the phone settings. E.g. WhatsApp notification: aodnotify activates the AOD with the new notification and the content of the WhatsApp message is shown. Then the AOD turns off. Now I double tap on my screen to see the lock screen and the notification DOES NOT show the content of the message (as it should be). So aodnotify simply ignores if it has to show the content of the notification or not. YES I know I can set if it should show the whole notification or just the apps name, but I just dont want it for WhatsApp. With other apps its okay to show the content.

2. aodnotify ignores if I want to receive notifications or not. E.g. I have a Do Not Disturb mode set on my phone that deactivates all apps so I can concentrate on studying. Without aodnotify I dont get any notifications but if I activate the aodnotify settings, the app send notifications to my phone and shows them, even when the apps are "deactivated"... Thats really annoying and I didnt find a setting for this problem.

Hopefully someone can help me. Otherwise this app is useless for me.

Thanks.

I have installed on S24 Ultra.

I get notifications when sms received but not when email is received (gmail).

The email notification arrives once I unlock the phone.

Any ideas or suggestions on what to do to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] user_galaxys23:
Hi guys,

Sometimes when trying to unlock the phone, after I get notification (mostly from WhatsApp), there is just a black screen, with fingerprint if you have it on.

Even if you unlock it with fingerprint sensor it remains black. After few iterations it shows the screen.

This happens once per week on normal usage. I have disabled the AOD app and no issue in three weeks now.

As AOD app interferes with Always on display, you might check it out.

Seems the same problem I had (3 post before your)

It's like aodnotify draw a black surface over the apps and didn't remove it at the right time

I use this app since it was released, but I've to stop use it now, since there's no update or reply from the developer (and my battery gains a lot!).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PaveKoo:
Hi! After update my Samsung S23 UI to 6.1 I have same problem as before... that notification led is very dim....

But then there is new problem, I can´t manually change the brightness in phones aod settings because there is no more brightness setting?!? Is there anything that can be done??

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Ok, I'm not alone with this missing brightness option. I want it back!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] superluig164:
Hi! This might be a bit of an edge case, but on my Z fold 5, the notification preview only takes up half the screen on the main (inner) display, but works fine on the outer display. It seems like maybe it's using the dimensions for the outer screen on the inner screen for the overlay size, but the text is still centered, so half the screen will be the notification preview and half will be the regular always on display both cutting each other off.

Try searching in the Play Store...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] overblood:
I managed to change the brightness of the AODNotify light by following this guide. You basically need Goodlock and Lockstar.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] overblood:
Also I have an issue too!

I have been using AODNotify PRO for years on my S20.

I upgraded to S23 and everything is actually working mostly fine, I only have the AOD camera circle activated.

BUT ... for some reason, the fingerprint icon activates as well. I don't want that to activate. I only want the camera circle.

Does anybody know how to disable the fingerprint icon?

I want a completely black screen except for the camera ring light.

See the fingerprint icon in my attached photo ..

EDIT: I found a solution. It's somewhere in the fingerprint settings - show always when screen is off. I disabled this.

Now AODNotify is working perfectly, just like my old S20.

Hello. Is the PRO payment one time or I will be required to make another payment once I reinstall it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
It will be a one time payment since it becomes "tied" to your Google account
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] andy_from_ireland:
hello I thought I had a notification around screen at one time with my aod Pro version but now I only have settings for around camera Edge and fingerprint sensor only. phone is a galaxy A52 5G
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Because with Android 14/OneUI 6.1 something changed and the dev from this app doesn't do anything to make it functional again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] andy_from_ireland:
thats a shame, i paid for this app!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
You, me, and others.

Oh, and don't waste your time trying to ask something to the dev because he simply don't care.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] andy_from_ireland:
thats bad :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
Please stop spreading false information / talking badly about me here!

I'm doing my best too keep this app up to date and working since 2019, while Samsung and google making it more and more complicated / restricted with every update...

If you're not happy with the app, find another one that works better for your needs. But please stop spreading bad vibes here. That will not help anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
I'm not spreading false information!

Isn't true that you rarely answer to those who paid for your app?

Isn't true that you said that we lost the edge lighting due to Samsung changes?

There's other apps on which edge lighting still works, even on Android 14/OneUI 6.1, so it's possible yes! But after several months, you still didn't fixed it and never reply to questions here.

I bought your app (+/-) 2 years ago for my OnePlus 7 Pro, and last year I bought for my S23Ultra because it's a simple app, and seems to be really "transparent".

That's why i became so unhappy to see you not updating the app and not replying to those who trusted you to the point of buying your app.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
New beta release is coming soon!

Finally found a possible edge lighting workaround for android 14 / OneUi6!

Edge lighting is back again :)

Stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] c3k:
@Jawomo what about this bug?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jerdesfiel:
First of all, I would like to congratulate the developer @Jawomo for this excellent application. I've been using it for years on my Galaxy smartphones.

However, after updating to One UI 6.1 I cannot install the app that controls the aod. The attached image error appears. Any plans to fix this bug?

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
did you allow write settings permission? aod manager ist not possible anymore due to android 14 restrictions
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] LironImaN:
Hi,

It has nothing to do with settings permissions, it happens because of android 14 restrictions to install 32 bit apps. It can be bypassed with adb command, but you should just update the app "aod manager" to support 64 bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Naikkon:
On my S23 ultra the app works fine. Android 14.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] andy_from_ireland:
Thank you for updating your app , I just tried today and I have my edge lighting notification back now on my Samsung A52 5G again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] coolkwc:
i found a bug on my S24Ultra, i set both to display 5 minutes only but the notification stayed forever. Anyone encountered that or my setting is incorrect
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] andy_from_ireland:
I would like to request feature for AODnotify if I can please.

I have chose all around screen notification LED but have just chosen 'bottom' (not left and right and top) - can you add a option to move the LED position please . i would like to place it just above the home navigation buttons .
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] savalagoo:
Hi, thanks for the awesome app, I have full version of app and galaxy S22. I have the turned on AOD during charging in routines, but I can't set the application to only light effect without AOD. These two things will cancel each other out, either the AOD and the light effect are always on, or the AOD does not appear during charging due to manager. Do you have any idea how to solve it? Simply I need AOD on during charging and I want show only light efect (without AOD) when I dont charge. thank you very much for the answer
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hammertime18:
Been using app for long time with no issues. Updated to 6.1, have aod set to always on, & got different colour icons for notifications, but, when I get notification, aod goes off until I unlock phone & swipe away notifications. Is there any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
did you try restarting phone once? no problems here on s24.

do you have "aod manager" setting enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] X-515-342-128:
Has the preview option changed the default text display setting? Version 6.02 now replaces a full notification display with a generic "New Message" text. Can this be reversed to the original mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hammertime18:
Thanks for reply. Yes, have aod manager setting enabled.

Cleared aod cache, tried reinstalling app, restarted phone multiple times,still the aod goes off when receiving notifications. Also, tried with and without new Lockstar app installed. If i disable aodnotify app, aod works normally.

I can get coloured notifications icons with time displayed if i use display time option in aodnotify app, but the time display text is very small even on 100%.

I assumed app needed update after new 6.1 sw, but, maybe there is glitch in phone s/w & need to do factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hammertime18:
Tried wiping partition cache, no different, so factory reset phone, still same.

With screen off, aod works, notification arrives, get colored icon on screen, aod goes off. Unlock phone, swipe notification away, screen goes off, aod back (until next notification).

Been using app for 2 or 3 years at least, no issues at all until latest One Ui 6.1 update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] X-515-342-128:
Has anyone noticed that now the full notification text has been replaced with a generic "New message" text (as seen in the attached)? Any workaround/fix would be greatly appreciated before I post the same question on other blogs.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DanielG_97:
Hi my good friend @Jawomo ,

first of all thank you for all the effort, I went back to using the app after the edge fix and it works flawlessly, again thank you for that.

What I would like to know is how I can increase the brightness of only the edge lightning, as I currently use the automatic brightness on the AOD, but the edge lighting follows that pattern and I would like to know if there is a way to make the AODNotifiy APP brightness independent and illuminate more.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mik_:
Hey Jawomo, really happy with this app! Only issue I'm experiencing at the moment is when allowing the app to control AOD, my S24 Ultra does not show my wallpaper on the AOD, and instead is the "old" wallpaperless version. If I disable the apps control of AOD (as I want it always visible anyways), the app works once and then disables itself. This is after a reinstall post-SmartSwitch transfer, as before it was just waking the phone and not displaying the notification preview at all.

A note, I am on the play store beta branch.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] seriosbrad:
Impressive app, very configurable. Didn't even hesitate to buy pro!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ludeape:
its kind of crazy how much battery this little circle uses though. 1-3% per hour is a lot for what it is.. to me anyway

I paid for it, and im still using it though, and trying to tweak to get the best balance / performance out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Have you already tried one of the echo effects or stamina mode?

I'm using eco blinking effect, but no additional energy saving settings. Maybe you can tweak it by playing around with those options.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ludeape:
I was using Pulse and stamina, but will try the blink echo now. thanks for the tip!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
You have to read the received notification and not watch the signal for hours.😅

Joking aside, I've been using this app almost since the beginning and I've never had a consumption problem with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Here my battery starts of last night.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vdb86:
Hi @Jawomo!

I noticed on my friend's S23 that when the AOD is disabled, it will trigger waking up the screen.

Maybe that's something you can look into.

My scenario for usage would be the following:

Notification comes in

AOD turns on with the animation

It lasts for the defined time

AOD turns off

I can tap to wake it and see my default AOD

It also might be good if it could be used instead (or with) edge lighting without making any changes to the AOD.

So it's just using the animation.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ludeape:
I just noticed that the battery setting, show when charging indicator option on s23 ultra doesnt work. It started to come on for like half a second, then disappeared when i put on the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Rohith_Kumar_Sp:
It shows up in landscape mode aswell? Give an option to disable it.

Also I have custom touch to wake from 100%-40% battery, but I want light to function without affecting the touch to wake, coz there are times I don't want to touch to take but I still want to see the light.

As of now there's no way to have touch to wake and AOD notification enabled at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
It would be great if it had dark theme and we could change language.

Also, it really should have an option to backup and restore our configuration.

I don't know if it's possible (probably not) but it would be great if the notification light could be brighter than the Samsung AOD.

Other thing is that the app is not updated since August 2022...

It's a shame that the developer never answers to customers. At least it happened to me on my Play Store feedback and by email (twice) when I had the OnePlus.

Asking 3.99€ and not even taking the time to reply to their customers, makes me think if I really should buy it or use the Always On Edge app.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MistahBungle:
Great app, cuz. Works a treat on my 918B. Thanks for making it (y)

Happy to have bought you a coffee for the pro version ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CruiserCZ:
I have a request. I have AOD turned off in aodNotify app. Meaning I can only see the notification LED. But during night time, I would like to use AOD. But the problem is when I turn on AOD manually, the aodNotify app will hide it because it's set that way. And I would like to use a routine to automatically turn on AOD. Any ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
In the general settings, there is a custom night time setting. If you set this for example between 10pm and 5am.

At this point in time, a routine would start the AOD function. This is just a tip.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
That's not possible unfortunately
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
can't update the app currently because google added some permission restrictions. means i have to find workaround to get the new update online on playstore.

anyways the app is almost 4 years old and works pretty stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CruiserCZ:
That's a shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nmt1900:
I have used this app for a long time starting since when I got rid of S8.

Over a time I found the most efficient and simple way to configure it for myself: it follows Do not Disturb i.e. AOD is always off when DND is on. When DND is off, then AOD just turns on when notifications from selected app are received and that's it - if I see AOD being on, then it is immediately visible that notifications are received and icons of these notifications are displayed as well as they are indicated on lock screen.

No other frills configured and this serves my needs pretty well and seems to be energy efficient enough to not to be a problem for battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SyCoREAPER:
@Jawomo

How about some tablet love?

Also, I'll try and reproduce it but I occasionally on my S23 Ultra in landscape the edge notification is shaped for horizontal
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Hi,

Anyone with Android 13 receives notifications sometimes saying that AODnotify has acessibility permissions, and need to turn off and on again?

From time to time it happens with this app and with another one I use.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hshah:
That's an Android security "feature" and happens for any app that has accessibility enabled. You should be able to just swipe those notifications away.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] VicCee:
Purchased previously on Oneplus 8 and again for Samsung S23 Ultra. App does not work correctly with phone AOD display schedule eg. Phone display only on between 14:00 - 23:30. You have to turn on AOD permanently to grant permission for notification edge light to work... App needs updating for s23 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] C9H13N:
It runs fine on my S23 Ultra.

The app also recognized my purchase a few years ago and is activated immediately.

All settings work - not due to the app, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
you just have to setup the shedule in aodNotify
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] n_boy86:
Please answer all sad users on Facebook

Any news about update

And flip phones led also?

@Jawomo
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] saadC:
I don't feel safe with this kind of apps as these requires permission to view my screen displaying on top of other bank/ fintech apps!! do you feel safe? if yes, WHY?? depending on your answer i might decide to change my mind...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Otherwise it wouldn't work, at least properly.

Every kind of apps like this one, even the ones from OEM, needs the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
I'm so glad I managed to ger rid of an third party app for pie control, and use the official plug in for Samsung good lock
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
For lightning notifications? Which one? And it works with the phone screen turned off, it's possible to make it "light up" every x minutes, etc?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
@Fl1nt91 Can you please explain to me? I use some things from Samsung Good Lock but i can't find anything that does the same as this kind of apps.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
I use One Hand Operation, but it's for pie control
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
But that doesn't have nothing to do with lightning notifications, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
No, i answered to a person that is also worried about giving deep permission to third party app
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Oh, my mistake. I thought there was something on Good Lock for notifications (would be great!)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] saadC:
YES but i will trust Samsung or Google or Apple more compared to small app producers. Hence, i tend to stay away from 3rd party apps that requires a lot of permission. Anyway, i tried this app now for 2 days. it does not change how I use my phone as i get all the notifications in AOD and locksreen anyway.. kinda like the dynamic island thingy, fun for few days but does not affect how i interact with a device too much. The trade is not worth it i believe, uninstalled it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Hi,

It's your decision and i don't have anything to do with it. I just replied to what you asked.

Honestly, i think it's an absurd for customers need a 3rd party app to do this. There's been long years since we don't have a blinking light "warning" us about a notification and till now they didn't gave us a proper solution.

In my case, I also use AOD (not bright to save battery) and i like/need/want that every X minutes a light comes on to remind me that there's a notification(s) without having to try to see the icons on the AOD, or constantly picking up the phone and I unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
@Jawomo Is it possible to add an option to backup/restore settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
thats already integrated via google drive app backups
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
It's unbelievable, turn on the screen when a notification arrives should be like the second most important feature in a smartphone, after calling.

After they took away the notification led, also this...what is in their mind??
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Randy31416:
aodNotify Pro works fine on my S23 Ultra (thanks much for this) except for the Colors option "Show Alternately". Always for me the light stays the color of the first notification received and never switches. In particular if I am charging the phone and subsequently get a text, the light stays blinking on the "charging" color and never alternates to the color for texts and other notifications. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tkhquang:
Hi, I can't seem to find a way to make the "Tap to show" works properly. When there are notifications, the AOD screen behaves as if I'm using the "Show on new notifications". Is there a way to make it only shows the notification lights for new notifications, and when I tap the screen, it will show the AOD lockscreen (just like the normal "Tap to show" option, but with the notification lights always show)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PaveKoo:
Hi!

Just bought basic model Samsung S23 and installed aodnotify as it was installed my previous Pixel 5.

I think everything else is working as I like, but notification light is very very dim when screen is not on.... just in that moment I want to see those possible notifications.

When I turn the screen on, light will lid much brighter or in lock screen it will lid brighter.

So is there some setting or brightness adjustment for that screen off situation?

At Pixel that worked with no problem.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
You can try to disable auto brightness of aod. Settings / locks screen / Always on display / auto brightness.

If AOD is disabled, then you have to enable it, change the setting, and then you may disable AOD completely again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PaveKoo:
That´s it, amazing!! Thanks!!

AOD was disabled and brightness was at minimum.... enabled it a while manually adjusted it to brightest... now it works as it should!

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elnarci:
Hello, good afternoon.

On 10-1-2021 I bought the aodNotify Pro application and so far I have been using it on the various Samsung devices that I have used. I currently own a Galaxy A54 5G and I am having some issues with the Samsung AOD operating mode being always on.

The options that I have activated are the following:

Activate AOD only in notifications.

AOD Manager enabled.

Notification preview enabled

In the last point of the help, which refers to Samsung and the updates, there is an option that says "Please select mode to always display in AOD mode..... " which I do continuously since that option gives me it appears in red whenever a notification arrives or simply when the screen is locked.

I understand that having the AOD Admin option enabled based on the description of that option should enable and/or disable AOD as necessary.

I don't know if I have a configuration error or if the application is not working correctly.

I would like the application to work in such a way that the AOD does not appear until some notification is received.

Thanks in advance
