So I recently started having an issue with the night clock on my edge. Instead of just lighting the pixels to show the clock the whole screen lights up. Everything but the clock is black but you can easily tell the screen is lit. When I do the swipe on the edge to get the information stream and time it works fine and only what is on the edge lights up but with the night clock the whole screen goes on. Anyone else having this issue?
I am having the very same problem.
There's a thread floating around with users experiencing the same problem.
Could be fixed with an update.

I suspect it's meant to do that as some sort of night light, if you look closely in the options to turn it on our off, the picture showing how the clock looks has the screen fading slightly as well.
Edit: upon checking the options for the notification stream it also has the fading screen picture, so now I think it's just broken. ..
Hi well it'S my first post since i had me sky rocket
...seems like the new AT&T update fixed the problem with the night clock..
However..I did enabled the (emu keys)... and when the night clock is on..i have this part of the lockscreen enabled... where the emu keys go..

Please, any input is useful. ):
I just bought a nexus one the other day, and i think I was scammed. THe power button works fine, but occasionally, the screen would get super dim. It doesn't black out because I can faintly see all of the icons and menus, and I can tap them. ALso, its not automatic brightness, because its horribly horribly hard to see. Pulling the battery (sometimes) fixes this problem.
I'm currently running Kang-o-rama with SP2.
Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, how did you fix it?
It does sound its the auto brightness. If you're outside and its dims it is very hard to see. You the default android power widget to test it. It has brightness toggle on it. Full /auto/dim/ and basically the middle.
I'll take a picture of it once my dad comes home, but I tested it last night if it was autobrightness.
I waited for it to dim, then went into settings, disabled autobrightness, and put the brightness all the way up. It was still super dim, and didn't return to normal until I pulled the battery.
I would look for support in the thread for that rom. Or flash another rom. Sounds like it is just a bug in your rom.
I just installed a Miui rom hoping it'll fix it (cause I was using cm7 based roms) and it worked for a while.
Now it began to Flicker and finally turned off. It'll ring when phones call it but nothing will show on the screen. I'll pull the battery but this time nothing shows up (though it vibrates indicating it turns on).
I know this is a hardware problem now, do you guys know what part it is?
Please, any input is appreciated.

Hello everybody, I have the following "visual effect". It happens roughly 50% of the times the display switches off. It doesn't matter if it is by it self, by the power button or by a software button. In the very moment when the display switches off, a greenish dot in the center of the display flicks for a split second, along with a same color vertical line trough the whole screen. Obviously it is not supposed to be this way Beside this issue, there is no other problems with the display or the phone( for now). What do you think about this? Thanks in advance
Sounds like a screen off CRT effect, check you tube to see if that is your problem
Isn't the CRT effect a horizontal white line ending up in a dot?
I genuinely think the OP's screen may be defective...

do a lcd test and check if all pixels are working ok
Unfortunately it is not a CRT effect, although it looks a bit like it. The difference is, that the line and the dot( little spot) appear simultaneously for a fraction of a second. In a daylight it is hard to see it, even more it happens just 50% of the times, but not every other time. Its somewhat random.
The *#0*# test do not show much. No dead pixels. On blue you cant see anything, on green and red I think I see a little bit darker spot in the center of the screen( where the dot/spot appears), but there are such darker sports and elsewhere on the screen.
BTW, I noticed recently, that when the screens dims a bit shortly before switching off, this dimming happens not so smooth. How should I say it... it happens on a several steps, although the whole thing is done in less then a second, it is not so fluid. Is it supposed to be this way?
Thanks for your help guys
have u tried flashing a different rom stock
I am on the latest German stock 4.0.4, tried several others, including 2.3.6. .Currently with Hydra kernel. No difference whatsoever. I think the auto-brightness doesnt work so good. When set on fixed value it dims more fluidly.
if u on stock rom and not rooted then take it to a service center
Hello,
It's been over a month after i'm using Note 9.
I put my device stand on my office desk so i can see easily if i have new notification coming.
After update to Pie, i found something strange on my device, the screen looks like blinking when AOD mode is active.
I'm sure it's not AOD animation / clock position move, no new notification too.
It's rarely happen, maybe like 1 or 2 times in a hour.
Anyone here face this issue?
I know it's not a big problem, but it's annoying to me.
thats normal, its so that the pixels dont decay on a spot and cause a screen burn in.
For years I used my led for notifications. Even knew what kind of notification had based on the color of the led and with no need of an annoying sound.
Now I'm lost. Always on display for me it's a waste of battery. The edge lighting is not working properly (look for the thread about it) and anyway it only lights once, I would like to see it 10 minutes after. The light around the camera is useless, as Samsung didn't implement it.
I'm using always on edge, but it's not working properly with autoinput (an app I use so I don't have to slide to unlock every single time). Every notification I get the screen turns on, so now I'm using only when screen is on.
What do you do for notifications?
I started with a Garmin Fenix 3 HR a few years ago. Then to a Pebble 2 HR. Now, a Fenix 5S Plus. Added bonus: Smart Lock when the watch is connected (whenever I'm not in bed or the shower) negates the need to use the FPR.
I had an OG Pixel XL where to notification shows up for a bit with the first sentence of the notification. It does on a black screen too so great for battery, basically an Always on display that is activated by notifications. So easy to glance at my phone when getting a notification and decide whether to answer or ignore.
Now I'm lost too, there's no built in way to have the screen turn on when you get a notification so I'm using a third party app but it actually just shows the lockscreen not a black screen with the notification in the middle so it's jarring as hell.
All,
Has anyone noticed in the past couple weeks that with AOD on and when receiving a notification that activates Edge Lighting, that a little Edge Screen notification bubble comes on the AOD screen while the light is on, and disappears when the lighting is over, or upon unlock?
Kind of annoying to see a useless notification bubble under the clock for 3 seconds, and it's never done it before. I've disabled all notifications related to Edge Screen and it still shows up everytime I get a new notification that sets off the edge lighting.
Anyone experiencing this?

I personally haven't noticed it since I don't use it, but I did receive an Edge Lighting update last night.
Yes, since the last Update there is this strange notification. But, when the screen is on, the Icon won't appear, if not, is is there.
LOL, I'm trying it out but I still haven't found the bubble. The only thing close was the bubble effect in the settings.

Thank you! Now I can stop beating my head against the wall trying to fix it.
