Always on screen...are you using it?

[msm0511]

I understand you can see the notifications but you cannot see the actual notification itself.

Meaning the only real thing I miss from my iPhone is when getting a text message the screen turns on and I can respond from the lock screen without unlocking the phone.

I'm pretty sure you cannot do this with this phone correct? Someone texts me and instead of seeing the sms icon the actual text message pops up and I can interact with it without unlocking the phone. Doesn't work on this correct?

Textra can do that for text messages. I can't remember if it's on by default, but it's in the settings.

I do it with textra from the lock screen, you can't do it on the AOD screen. I think you can do it with Verizon messages also

I think you have to have the pop up notifications turned on, and turn on the notification for lock screen in the settings of those apps. Remember if you allow it to display over the lock screen, anyone that picks your phone up will see the message and can reply to that message. Textra offers a timeout for displayed on lock screen also. Textra is a very nice texting app

I didn't leave AOD on very long, so I didn't realize that. Thanks for the head's up.

I wasn't until I read online that it turns off when it is in your pocket.. That is really cool.

Nah I don't use it, not worth the battery life sacrifice...As small as it is.

Yes...

How are you able to get the clock on the aod wallpaper? I was under the impression it was either, clock, calendar, or wallpaper? Thanks!

AMOLED is much better on battery life than the MXPE with LCD. Seems silly with LCD since whole display is turned on for a small amount of info.

I like it a lot also, and it doesn't seem to affect battery life much, having the Amoled screen.

This is my config.....Im gonna use it cause I pull my phone out alot at work for the time ....Well until I get my Gear Fit 2 ....

 

[Jude526]

I like it. A lot

Posted using Note7

I don't use it on my s7 edge. While at work I don't like to know the time lol. Feels like it goes by slower when I'm always glancing. Same reason I don't wear a watch.

I've stopped receiving notifications on my AOD. Any ideas why and how to remedy that?

 

[boriqua2000]

i don"t use it because i like seeing my lock screen wallpaper and you can't unlock the phone from the always on display. This wallpaper is really bright and shows off the note 7s beautiful display.

Turned it on yesterday and didn't see a battery drain, I like it and will continue to use it. This note seems much more refined than the s7edge, lots of little things. On the s7edge I would see a good chunk of battery drain using the AOD .

I use it now that it shows 3rd party notifications. I especially like the layout where I can use any photo I want.

Can't be Batman without the logo on my phone ;-)

I use it but I set a schedule for it to turn off from 11pm to 7am

Go into the Always On Display section in settings. At the bottom click ABOUT ALWAYS ON DISPLAY. Make sure it is version 1.7.29. if it isn't, it should give you an option to update it right then and there. If you are on that version, go to LAYOUTS, Content to Show = CLOCK, and then scroll to the very last one on the bottom. That AOD lets you use your own photo.

Thank you for this !!! I actually like the clock setting so I'll use that most of the time.

It's nice to be able to change it when I want to ........ though not to a Batman logo haaaa !!
