Always on?

[jimhuntphoto]

Hi. Somehow I turned always on, on. Now I would like to turn it off and I don't remember how. Ha. Anyone know how? Thanks.

On the watch go to settings>style. You'll see it right after Watch Faces.

did samsung ever fix the problem with the always on display timing up and turning off? my s2 classic would go completely black after 30 minutes or so and its really annoying having to wake it up just to cover it to put back in always on.

I have had mine set to always on since receiving it a few days ago and the screen has never gone off. The only thing I do not like is that (unless I am missing it somewhere) there is no way to adjust the brightness for the always on display. Sometimes in bright sun you can barely see the AOD screen but hitting the button and bringing up the main watch face displays fine with the increased brightness.

I guess they did. As long as I had my S2 on it never went completely black but it would if it was on the charger. My S3 works the same way, I don't know if there's a way to keep it on regardless of where it is.

It's like the S2 where it won't truly stay on for an extended amount of time.

Do both of you guys own the Gear S3? Who has the right info here?

I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Do i need to worry about burn-in with the always on mode. i always used tilt to wake and for some reason i cant convince myself it will be a non issue even with watchfaces designed for it especially with the higher resolution and colors now

I think by the time you had an issue with burn in, you'd be on another watch.

Quick question, how do you like it compared to the LG Watch Urbane 2nd edition LTE? I have one right now.

I know that my S2 and now S3 stay on as long as I have it on my wrist. When I take it off and put down on a table or on the charger it will go black in a few moments.

I came from an Urbane 2 LTE. Tried the Nixon Mission but it was bulky and just got in the way too much. I like the Frontier more. I like the appearance of the Urbane 2 a little better without the bezel marks but after using Tizen and the rotating bezel Samsung is miles ahead software wise so i am glad i switched. Not a single glitch, force close, or issue since Saturday paired to a 6p and the battery would go 3 days easily. Used yesterday and was still at 73% at the 23 hour mark.

That's what I wanted to know! I'll be upgrading then as soon as Verizon gets it since I can't use the prepaid sim like with the Urbane. Thanks!

I definitely plan to take advantage of the AOD since you can see colors and animations with it.
