good morning. please is there a way for activate this function? i don't find it even if i already updated to last version. i see only display always turned on but this is not always on display....
perhaps is impossible to read in screen off only the notifications when arrive and i understood bad?
if i keep display always on, the battery drains, this is not always on display...
i hope a answer.
thanks
display always turned on is your always on display. It just means a part of the display is always on. It's an AMOLED Panel, so the phone can turn on/off every single pixel for itself. Also every black pixel is off, so only the pixel, which are turned on need to be lighted. Therefore it doesn't drain the battery too much.
The Path is: Settings > Home Screen & Background (or similar, 3rd point) > Display always active

is there any way at all to disable the screen from dimming on backgrounds with too much white? i think its ridiculous that they built this functionality into the phone without an option to turn it off, is there anyway to tweak the registry? i got the phone because of the screen but if i cant enjoy bright backgrounds n what not theres not much point
There is a option for that. "Screen brightness", switch from Auto to Low/Med/High
no thats not the issue, i have it on high with auto off, yet it still dims when theres too many white pixels on the screen, apparently its built into the samsung driver for the screen, really considering returning it due to this

I immediately noticed this effect when testing an Omnia 7 in a mobile phone shop here in Switzerland and I found that quite annoying.
Try moving from page to page in the Office app. You'll notice a decrease in screen brightness when more white pixels are shown. At least that seems to be how the built-in algorithm works.
I prefer the 4.3" screen of the HTC HD7.
I am wondering if the always-on will result in not being able to carry it on domestic flights, which require all devices to be OFF! After takeoff, airplane mode or WiFi are OK - but not on takeoff/
They could screen them out with the X-ray at the gates - large phones would gt checked and if S7 - maybe no-go.
If so - would hope custom ROMs could solve that.
Just turn the phone off then what are you talking about? Always on is just a term used for the screen displaying notifications on the black screen when the device is powered on... It can be powered on and off just like a normal phone lol

CNET review said it does not turn off (" I fell in love with the S7's new always-on display, which shows you either the clock, a calendar or an image.") , and that it will display a few items like time always - or so they said. They also contracted Samsung directly on it. .

If you are using the toggle in the drop-down, long press the "always on" icon and it will give you the options you're looking for.

Mine has not been shipped yet, so i will give that a try when it comes.
This would be odd however. I leave my S4 on for several days, and see a screen like that when it often pops up, so don't see the reason for having an "always on" since it can already be handled otherwise.

Yes while the phone is powered on the screen doesn't turn off completely.. Unless you disable "always on display" your just understanding it wrong which is OK lol

This is not a factual statement. The FAA only requires that the phone be taken out of transmit mode. Airplane mode is acceptable, even for takeoff and landing.
Look I own the phone it turns off and on like a normal phone... It's just that while it's on it has a feature called always in display where when you turn the screen off a clock and notifications will pop up because it has a amoled screen they have the ability to light pixels independently which means that you can have a clock only on part of the screen and the rest be off so then you aren't using very much energy at all. So you can glance at your phone see what time it is and other cool things. It does not mean the phone doesn't turn off. You're taking the feature completely out of Context
I believe the phone is actually always on, even when powered off. I was an airliner passenger last night, had it in Airplane Mode, and then felt it vibrate in my pocket. The phone had rebooted on its own, so I shut it off completely since I wasn't sure what was going on. Later, while it was *shut off*, I felt it get warm, pulled it out and the blue indicator light was flashing, but the phone was off and unresponsive. I held the power button down briefly to reboot it, and it rebooted in airplane mode, just as would be expected had it been shut off while in airplane mode. When it came back on, it had reset the date to February 10, the battery had decreased from 52% to 25% in the two hours since I had shut if off, and the time was displayed in negative seconds (!), something like 7 million. All the weirdness ended when I rebooted it after landing and inactivated airplane mode. I'm not sure what was going on but I am definitely sure that after I turned the phone off, the notification light continued to blink, the device became warm, and it experienced significant battery drain. I therefore believe it is actually never off.
You may have thought you turned it off but didn't. You have to hit the power button twice on screen to complete the action. The first time just highlights it. I'm willing to bet you hit it once assumed it was off and pocketed it. Trust me it turns off
Murphys law: craziness can and will happen. This thread is pointless and should be closed. All phones "turn off" completely. You don't have a 'sleeper cell' for a phone, laying dormant yet on while you believe it's off. You have to really be dense to believe otherwise.

I know that Always On Display saves battery for people who frequently turn on their phone to see the time/notifications.
But, it kill more battery for people who dont turn on their phone display often.
So, is there a way to alter this feature so that the 'Always on Display' turns on only on screen tap/double tap.
What i want is,
the screen should be off,
when i tap/double tap the screen - Always on display must show the time/notifications for few seconds
when i click the home/power button, the normal lock-screen must be displayed
IS THERE A WAY TO DO THAT?
Nope. Its either on or off.
Theres one thing that u can do but it still be on just in a bit different way. Turn off the always on display then set night clock. In my case i do 00:00 ~ 23:59. Still looking a way how to put clock as edge feed
Always On should definitively have a TIMER; it's absurd to work during the night and I don't need the night clock either (the only one that can currently stop the Always On).....

You can put the phone on its face. That will turn it off, just make sure you put a cloth under it so that you dont scratch the screen.
In my testing i found that AOD takes 3-4% in 9hrs overnight, thats less than 0.5%/hr. Very solid if you ask me

I prefer to be done automatically, I really think that it is something easily achievable by Samsung.
And is is not only about battery consumption but also about screen burn-in, despite all the watch movement.....
I'm using acDisplay from the play store. It allows you to cover the proximity sensor and then let go. Also kicks on when you pick it up.

Use AC Display apk, I think that's what you need
Hi guys, any idea how htc managed to implement aod in u11+? Whole display is backlit when aod used or they used some new technique?
Nothing special. The whole display backlight is used, just that it's quite dim. I imagine the display probably has lower power usage for them to even add an option of having the AOD display all day long.
So, since I updates to android 13 one ui 5.0 my always on display is not working as it should. I use the "tap to show" option, and it works fine the first time i touch my screen when it's off. But that's it. If i don't wake up the screen and touch it again after the screen goes black to see the AOD, it won't show.
I find it very useful to use at night, while sleeping, to see the time and not get blinded by the bright display.
I cleared the phone's cache after the update. Still not working as intended...
Do you use energy saving during day? I set a routine to activate it under 20%, so it deactivate aod, but when I charge it and goes over 20%, I have to enable aod again.
I'm having some issues too. I was using "tap to show", but recently it always come back to "always show" at the moment I lock my phone
