How to enable LED light around camera cutout and more!

[larrykay]

yeah...i wished it stayed on.but it might cause burn in?

How long would you let it stay on? I would think that to cause burn in it would have to be there a real long time...
Just using your phone "could" cause burn in

Hmm... Lets say overnight? When im sleeping and a notification comes in... And i always charge overnight - _-

But if it were to pulsate every few seconds like the LED notification light used to, I would imagine it would be OK.

Set your AOD to run on a schedule, (if your sleeping, you can't see it anyway) mine is set to display from 7:00am to 11:30pm, I also charge overnight, then holey lights display will abide by the schedule, and not show up...

Hmmm good solution.

[Hermes Hidayat]

So i installed Energy Ring...and is there a way to keep the light on even when screen is off?

I don't think if it was constantly doing a short flowing animation that any burn in would occur.

As it stands, it seems to me all of these "features" are pretty pointless for the main point I think the average user would want to use them.

When I'm at home, my phone isn't always on me. If it was always on me, I would feel it vibrate and therefore would not need a light-up notification. If I leave the room and miss a call or a text, I want my phone to have a blinking/animated light. These features only flash once, blink and you miss it. So what's the point?

I guess I'll just have to get used to checking my phone every time I sit down. What a kick in the pants for the "top of the line Galaxy" on the market, such a tiny, itty bitty, stupid easy feature, and it's July 6th, 2019. Phone's been out 5 months and still can't do the simple task of notifying you if you're not glued to your phone.

Very disappointing. Guess I'll just have to adapt.

Heads up, I found an app called "LED Me Know" and it's a little specific (down to the pixel) on how you can program the light's appearance around the camera, but it will ALWAYS SHOW YOUR NOTIFICATION UNTIL YOU HAVE CLEARED NOTIFICATION which is excellent!

I would really like it to be always on.instead of only on when screen is on.i mean if the screen is on then whats the point of it.

LED Me Know requires Always On Display, but after you configure it correctly, you can hide it (Always On Display) in the app (a setting in LED Me Know). You can customize the color for individual apps (like green for messages, blue for phone, etc.). When your screen goes off, it'll blink Always On Display and then go off (if you choose to hide Always On Display). However, when you get a text, your phone will wake up, and if you're not around to hear/see the text, it'll begin flashing your LED where you configure it (I configured mine around my S10+ camera, resizing it pixel by pixel until it was thin enough and in the right position). And it stays flashing until you open your phone and check your message/missed call/whatever apps you choose to use it on.

It's honestly everything I wanted it to do.

Great tips about the LED! Thank you for sharing!

You bought one?

No, not yet... But I'm planning to get the S10e very soon! I just can't give up my Pixel 2 just yet.

If you really like the Pixel camera you may be underwhelmed by the Samsung in certain modes. Of course the Samsung has some manual settings if that's your thing but Pixel does a better job overall. Don't get me wrong... the S10 camera is better than most give it credit for and it really depends on what type of photos you like.

Then there is Samsung Pay which is hard to give up once you get spoiled by it. Shocks the hell out of those that normally take only Apple Pay or credit card only.

I am afraid to give up my camera... And sometimes I wonder why I don't just get a Pixel 3 or 4. But I do want to try the Samsung experience. I do have confidence in the S10e's camera, and I guess I've been spoiled with the camera on my Pixel. But most phones nowadays take good pictures - as long as my cat looks good, I'm happy!

Like I indicated earlier the S10 camera is better than most give it credit for. Stay tuned to see some Disney World pictures from both my S10 plus and Pixel 3XL in the coming weeks. I will also be testing and reviewing both devices with Moment's wide, anamorphic and telephoto lenses. I'm really excited to test out the cinematic capabilities of the anamorphic lens with the amazing backgrounds of Disney World. I predict that will be my favorite lens to review.

That's so exciting! I can't wait to see pictures!!!!
