Google's Pixel Stand breaks Ambient Display notifications on the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phone, Android Police reports. As per the site, the charging pad breaks the optional ambient notification settings on the Pixel 3 series. Android Police claims that while the phone will still sound or vibrate, as usual, it will not show notification on the panel even when the 'always on display' mode is enabled. The only workaround to fix the bug is by rebooting the phone, that restores the ambient notifications to its 'normal behaviour'.
