Always on screen...are you using it?

[French]

Usually you can change the color of the LED light in the settings of said app.

Thanks...not seeing a way to change it in text messages (stock). I'd prefer green flashing over blue. And I'd prefer red for calendar.

It might be an option for all apps. I use textra for texting and that app has the option.

So with not all apps offering color choice, that's a benefit of AOD.

You mean "always on display" i think.
Yes i use it and very useful for me. I can see everything on the screen.

yes, I mean always on display. LOL

If a mood sees this, please change

Thanks for the reply. Even some apps where I can specify things (such as alert tone) aren't "sticking". For example, Twitter allows me to select a different "default" tone, but when I go back into the settings the default is selected again. I have changed it a gazillion times and it still defaults to default.

And i had posted in another thread that my ringtone won't stick after a reboot. I have to go back into the main menu settings and change it again.

I use it, 24/7 (at night, the only time I might not use it, its on a charger, so no battery issue). It has been said that the AOD burns about the same amount of battery as turning your screen full on to check the time/date/appointments on a couple times a day. So it might yield a net positive battery impact.

 

[skatergirl]

Yep and love it.

 

[Almeuit]

I am not using it. I don't need my screen on 24/7.

 

[alejovh1#AC]

I love this feature. Use it all the time.

 

[beh]

Yes I do. I find it a real helpful feature.

 

[ajb1965]

I use it and like it a lot. Glance was a feature I loved on Windows Phone that offered a similar function.

In some things I do. I like the different face options, and I love that I can make it blue so that it matches my device. But I loved how much more interactive Moto's Active Display was/is. I think Samsung nailed the classy look of their display, but I found Moto's to be more practical and useful.

Moto active display is more interactive but I never used that functionality. I just opened the app when I got a notification.

 

[RichBrown68]

Yep. Honestly, I use it because it makes the phone look cool. L o l

I love the idea of touching the notification and having it expand to show you more info. If Samsung's AOD had that, I would absolutely love it. It's not a necessity, but it was sure nice at times.

I'm using it and love it. Had the s7 Edge and never used it since it didn't support 3rd party apps. I've had Moto active display in the past and I didn't like and don't get why so many enjoy it. My biggest gripe was that the display would come on just when the phone moved. I would put it on the couch or bed, if it moved the display would turn on so I found myself looking at the phone more because I would think I had a notification and didn't.
To each their own, I guess.

I could see why some would like it... I never used that functionality when I had moto though.

I do like having a quick glance of my calendar for the day. I'm not terribly busy so don't "live" in my calendar like some do so having it there front-and-center is nice. I like having nothing to do all day. In all seriousness, because I don't open my calendar it's nice to have a reminder of what's going on. I just wish I could swap out tasks for reminders. I don't use tasks at all as I haven't figured out how to incorporate them smoothly. I can create reminders via Google Keep as well as voice commands but have yet to figure out an easy "task" manager. I know there are tons of them, but reminders work well for me at the moment.

 

[Viscomi4444]

I only use it when I go to sleep. If I wake up then I can easily see the time. I don't use the nightclock because I keep my phone vertically.

 

[anon(10000748)]

Can you change the colors on the calendar view of aod I'm not seeing the option like i see on the clock face. Also no music controls

Always on Display

Is it a battery drain? And is it useful?

Song gets stuck in my head whenever the AOD is mentioned.
Using it, like it
