On the pixel 4a, if I choose to activate dark mode when the screen goes off (to get a black notification background on the AOD) it for some reason deactivates the AOD entirely. I tried triggering the task by event display off and by display state off. The only action in the task is dark mode: on. Whenever the screen goes off the AOD shows for a brief moment and then disappears. Any idea why this happens?
What if you enable dark mode with Tasker and only then turn the screen off? Does the same thing happen?
No, this only happens when the screen is already off. I just realized it also happens on a different profile I have, which sets dark mode when the battery runs low and deactivates it when it goes above a certain percentage again. The AOD switches off when dark mode toggles, regardless if it's set to on or off.
I fear it's just a bug on the device and Tasker can't fix that :( Tasker is simply toggling the setting so if the device doesn't behave well Tasker can't change that. Maybe try using the "Turn On" action to turn it on briefly and see if that restores it?
