Mate 10 Pro, always on display?

[dpham00]

Oh yah. That's true

That's why most that have aod are AMOLED

Can please someone confirm that clock is not being updated on the Always On (Always Display Information) screen?
It ONLY updates time for a minute or two, then it stops. Touch proximity sensor and it will update again, but for a minute or two ONLY.
Please someone confirm this!

Oh wow that's not good

 

[Aljean Thein]

Of course. There are always going to be those cases

Yeah, the feature just sounds so simple that it should work almost all the time

Update: Tech at Huawei was not able to reproduce error. Factory reset and Hard Factory reset did not help. While phone is connected on the electrical charging and battery is less then 100% clock is being updated every minute on Always On display, however when battery reaches 100% clock stops updating. Decision is made to send phone to repair service.

I'm sorry to hear that. The repair will be free, correct ?

Hi, just wondering if there is a way to get third party apps to display notifications in the native AOD? I have tried the various apps in the Play Store and don't want to use them.

What is good about all ways on screen??

A more convenient way to check your notifications without turning your phone on.

 

[edwin walke]

Thanks.

Does it only show email and SMS notifications from the built in apps?

That sucks. Keep us posted as to how the repair goes

Does anybody know if the mate 10 comes with an always on display or ambient mode? I had a look online but couldn't find anything so I'm thinking no. When I went from the 6p to the mate 9 I really missed this feature and I'm trying to decide between the pixel 2xl and the mate 10.

Thanks.

The Mate 10 Pro has an Always On Display feature. However, the regular Mate 10 does not have that option. No Ambiet Display to date for the Mate 10 Pro. Rather, there is a Galaxy S7 type wake screen notification.
Also the AOD shows a counter for missed text messages etc

Does it work for third party apps?

 

[Palexr]

No, you need to use third party AOD apps to do that.

 

[brutos08]

I never really found AOD useful at all, but am sure Huawei will add it going forward

 

[dpham00]

No, you need to use third party AOD apps to do that.

That sucks. I know that Samsung did that when their aod first came out but added third party apps later. Hopefully Huawei can add that functionality later

 

[brutos08]

I have found a setting in screen lock that says AOD Will enable it at some point and let you know

 

[neil74]

I wonder if they will improve it I.e. add other notifications such as WhatsApp.

Does anybody know if the AOD on the p20 pro is any better?

 

[neil74]

Seems the p20 is no better, will admit the aod is starting to really annoy me. It's just pointless as it is right now (imo)
