Thoughts on the Ticker Display?

[srkmagnus]

What does everything think about the ticker display? It was last seen on the Samsung Continuum. I'm not so sure that I like the idea...but will be open minded until more information is available and actual hands-on reviews are published.

I think if they are trying to somewhat bring back the notifications in the status bar (why else would they move it to the top) it would be a good idea.

I hope it's better executed than Samsung's attempt.

Might be more useful than having them on the sides like samsung... we'll have to wait and see... not hating it tho...

I like it. Especially the fact it won't disturb the larger display

I absolutely love it. I would rather not turn on my display to check the time or to see why my blue notification light is blinking only to see it was an email and not a call or a voicemail. Also having to turn on my entire display just to change a track on my music player or to turn on the flashlight is a waste, especially when its sunny out and your phone is using full brightness!

Now I can always see what time it is, I can change through my music, and I can see if I received a call or an email instead of the annoying blue mystery light that makes me turn on my phone and waste battery.

It will also be nice when you're actually using the phone because you can have your music player up top so at all times to change a track (can be very annoying). You can also skip a step of app switching by clicking on your favorite app while youre in another app instead of exiting out and going back to your app list to go to another app.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this is going to be one of the abilities that they are going to be enabling. From the turned off display the options are:

Signature
Time/Date/Weather/Notification Widgets
Sound On/Off
Wifi On/Off
Flashlight On/Off
Camera App

I wish the music control was part of that list, but for now we don't seem to be getting that.

There is still hope my friend. Look at this picture I found. This is what the source says:

"There is a second screen on the top right corner, and the signature can be customized, the music player controls can be utilized here, even with the main screen off, which is like any dedicated DAP"

 

[MrMLK]

I so hope you are correct. Notifications/Shortcuts/Music Control is all I want.

Do you have a link to the source? Does it have any more interesting information?

Maybe Jimsreviewroom just couldn't figure it out? Because this other user clearly got it to work:

I hope you are right. Maybe Jim just never tried it when playing music. It isn't on the settings page, but neither are the Wifi/Camera/Volume/Flashlight shortcuts, so we might get lucky.

It should be placed on the bottom, if LG wants to be different from Samsung.

I don't get it. I thought Samsung put it on the side.

 

[rinkeedink]

I do think it makes more sense to be on bottom for one handed use on such a tall device. Looking to try one out at store.

Awesome news. thanks

Awesome news. thanks

I have my V10, and I can confirm that this does work. Swipe right for the shortcuts and left for the audio controls.
