Question if aod is off

[droid747]

I am considering getting this phone with the bestbuy deal. I don't like having the screen on all the time. If the aod feature is turned off will the screen flash when you have notifications like the Motorola line does?

That's a good question, just tested that with Textra and built in email client. Textra wakes up the entire screen (that's controlled by the app). Email didn't. AOD notification didn't work when it's off it seems. Bummer

No. If you leave the AOD on it will still turn off. If you put it face down our in your pocket for example. It's quite intuitive. Also it has 2 settings for brightness...

It doesn't, the large icon a la Moto style only flashes up when anyways on display is active BUT there's a great app called Screen Notifications in the PlayStore. It turns on your screen for 10 seconds (or whatever you set it to) to show you your notifications on the lockscreen. It's pretty much identical to how iPhone works and I really like it now LG have removed the Notification L.E.D.
