Ambient display position - Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers

Hi all
Just got my Xperia 1 ii and setting it up.
I am having issues with the Ambient display.
No mater how I set it up, the Ambient display is always at the bottom of the screen rather than in the centre.
I have searched for similar problems but can't find a thread anywhere.
Is this a known issue or am I missing something simple??
Thanks in advance

It moves around to prevent burn in on the panel. Sometimes it's on the top half, sometimes in the middle and of course the bottom.

Ahh, now I understand, thank you. I have the Sony smartcase. I have it set up that the display comes on when I pick up the phone.

That's exactly what it does [emoji6]
And not only for ambiant display, the status bar items (clock, battery level, icons,...) and the navigation bar keys move too.

I've just read an article pointing out this weird thing:
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-review
I've just tested this on my S5 mini, wow! I see what they mean by colours going psychedelic.
I don't think you have any control at all under Auto Brightness. You'd have to switch Auto Brightness off then slide the brightness to Max.

maybe some moding?
Maybe this is due to a feature named "Adjust Display". Go to Settings > Screen > Screen Mode. By default, it's set to Adjust Display, so the screen will automatically change its colors depending on ambient lightning.

Black and white display on all the time? Any way to enable it?

if you watch closely on your N6, the display will go black/white right when you hit the power button to shut down the screen. It looks like ambient display and also reminds me of the galaxy's battery saver mode when the screen goes black and white to conserve battery. Anyone out there think that this can be enabled on our phones full time? I think it would be a great feature to have.

Probably could, but would be easier to install CF Lumen

Does that do the same thing?
Yes, It's a setting in accessibility.

I know it converts to greyscale first then can change it to red, blue, green screen so I imagine there is a setting for remaining in greyscale. Have a look.

I can't see how it would save battery unless it was mostly pure black. The gpu needs extra work to convert to greyscale

Navbar's mark remains.

Hey, guys. I dunno whether this is normal or not normal but my navigation bar has always been leaving a mark behind during its absence. Have a look at the navbar on the photo. Is it normal? And if it isn't, please tell me what I should do to remove it. Thank you.
Edit: the navbar marks doesn't come out on the photo. Sorry.

Sounds to me like there's a screen burn-in, happened to me too.
And sadly, there's nothing you can do about that, since screen burn-in on amoled displays is permanent.

Sorry I'm late but this is a common burn-in problem. All Amoled have this problem, newer one less respect own old Amoled. It's permanent and the mark is prominent according use.
Lot of screen on time and high brightness make this marks more visible (and coming first) respect low usage and/or low brightness.
It's probably you have burn-in on notification panel too in you see an image in immersive mode.

Light Bleed ?

From what has been doing the rounds, it seems as if the issue is real, but so far nobody has proved that it exists, with side by side comparisons showing different wallpapers or by playing videos.
Passing up on this phone would be quite unfortunate as there really is no true alternative to the Nokia 6.1 Plus, with bootloader unlocked, of course.
It'd be great if anyone could show how exactly the bottom area looks, on loading up different kinds of contents :fingers-crossed:

There is not light bleed. The light bleed that seems like is the navbar gradient on android oreo. I am a moto one power user and I assure you. There is no light bleed even at max brightness!
Some youtubers
Some youtubers done lcd test and we can see screen bleeding issue. On a plain black or grey background screen bleeding issue can be seen.
please, Prove it.
I tried, and i am confused

I got my phone 2 days back and the first thing i noticed was brightness on the bottom part of the phone (bottom part of navbar) was more than rest of the area.
I tried with 3 apps "Quora" "Whatsapp" and "Curiosity".
When i launched Quora, Navbar gradient was observed and it looks like backlight bleeding.
But when i launch Whatsapp or Curiosity, the navbar gradient disappears even at max brightness.
So i think this is not backlight bleeding, but i can't verify this with other apps, or even while watching videos on full screen.
this is definitely confusing. we need more data.
Bleeding
Backlight bleeding only visible on some background Colors. Is there anyone on Xda that can prove it that it is or it is not bleeding

What is there to "prove" ?
Take it from users who use the device daily. And coming to the YouTube reviews, aren't the review devices pre production? How good is the hardware there? The navbar gradient is implemented in a weird way by motorola which makes it feel like the light bleed in most of the apps. But I can assure you that its not there. I have tested extensively and you need to physically see it to understand the difference. You cannot visualise it over photos on the internet.
I mean if you people can remove that gradient and show us

No, what i meant was..... Moto does not give any UI option to user to disable Navbar gradient.
It's either system controlled or app controlled, i am not sure.
And like i said earlier, its not visible in all apps. so does not look like backlight bleeding.
Screen Bleeding Issue Solved.
For those who are wondering about the Screen Bleeding issue with the #MotorolaOnePower Let me clear out this for you, Yes, screen bleeding issue is present and it is ARTIFICIAL. (I don't know why but it is) And can easily be fixed via software updates.
How to disable it?
Install "Navbar Apps" from play store and make the navigation bar colour to solid white/black to overcome those ARTIFICIAL SCREEN BLEEDING issue or wait for the #Android9Pie Which probably will fix this issue.
Hope it helps.

What I think to test it. If this is software based gradient or artificial then screenshot can capture it. If screenshot can't capture that gradient it means it is screen bleeding. Can anyone test it and upload screenshotss?

It's the same as we can see in screenshot and yes I never believed that it's an light bleed issue...!!
As I have tested the same with some display tester app but I don't see any light bleed issue with higher brightness whatsoever...!! So it's a intended UI effect and not an issue...!!

The gradient is an overlay applied on the screen. It is similiar to the Night Light feature, when you capture screenshots with Night Light on, you don't see it in the screenshot.
Hope that helped clear confusions!

Trying to identify camera mode

When launching the camera app in LOS, there's a strange icon on the screen, I can neither recognize nor find its purpose. It's the third symbol from the right at the top of the screen. It looks like something inside a circle, surrounded by some stars. If tapped, a slider appears on the screen, with a setting from "low" to "high", but I simply can't find out what it does.
What is this slider and this camera mode supposed to do?
Provide a screenshot, please.
Here you are. It's the symbol in the middle, and it's blue, because it's active. The slider belongs to this symbol, when deactivating this mode, the slider disappears.
Still no ideas, anyone?
