Always on display?

[ODog2323]

Seems it was removed due to battery concerns. Did anybody actually use it for any period of time before the update to verify if it is a battery hog or not?

Before I did the update I left the phone at home for a couple hours since I hadn't moved my sim card over from my old device. I was curious of the battery too so I noted where it was when I left. With the ambient display always on the battery went from 81 to 79 percent in about an hour and a half, with the phone left completely alone.

You tame lions?

Indeed.

Thanks, hardly terrible. Worse than LG or Google's implementation but on a par with Samsung.

Probably not much different than the standby timeby time has been since after the feature was removed.

1. Is always on display worth rooting for (assuming you're not rooting anyway)? I say very much no.

2. Given that this is totally unofficial, I'd be a little concerned about burn in... Didn't read the thread, but the first post on XDA doesn't seem to mention anything about it.

Given the response of them removing the Always On Display, I'm sure OnePlus is going to put it back in sometime in a update

Just download glance plus free from the store. it beats any stock AOD from any phone maker. you get all your notifications not just what the phone maker wants you to have.

Um, all AOD now allows all notifications on the AOD.

Not true. Huawei phones have always on display that only show time, date, battery, stock sms, missed calls and now playing music. No third party notifications still

Does it really work well? I woulda thought that functionality like that would have to be built deep into the system to work properly. It doesn't mess with Smart Lock or anything like that?

Oh yeah forgot about Huawei. LOL.

well I can tell you its better then Samsungs and Huawei AOD ... the way around the smart locks on Huawei is set your sleep 30+ min., this allows glance plus to handle your locking(AOD)... you can customize it to no end. from music, weather, wallpapers, to phone calls, reading text messages and so on.... its been great

That would be nice!

 

[neil74]

Bump!

Did they ever add this back in or is it still absent?

It's still gone from OxygenOS without root.
