Does anyone know any app or way to show battery status on Always-On display? I had samsung s7 edge prior to this one and it was awesome feature that I can see how much battery I have left on its Always On display, but I can't seem to have that on LG G5. I tried a couple of battery app, but the number shows up in black so can't see.
Never mind, I found a different app that can display it.

I hope you realize that the AOD display feature is a hardware-based feature that greatly reduces battery consumption, while the different apps that simulate such a feature will drain your battery much faster, like 10 times faster (on a LCD screen) than the true AOD feature.
This being said, I would happily trade my S7 Edge's useless AOD feature that shows battery status but no notifications besides missed phone and SMS messages, with the LG G5 AOD that works properly and shows all notifications from all apps.

I agree. The S7 AOD is useless. Ended up having to turn the phone on all the time anyway to see which notification is causing the blinking led light. G5 is much better.

I think the Op just wanted the battery level shown on the built in AOD feature not to actually replace it.
Op, what app do you end up using to show the battery level as a notification?

Yeah, I didn't realize that when I had S7 Edge, but until I had LG G5. With a different battery app, now it properly shows battery stat as well along with other notification which I enjoy very much.

Hi,
I have noticed a bug where alarm does not give neither audible nor visual notification while do not disturb mode is on with alarms exception. This was tested on 119 and 128 firmware.
Could anyone test this for me so I know this is not just me?
Regards
Mario

Working fine here on 124 UK firmware.
Have you altered a setting in this screen?
Thanks mad.jack10 for testing this.
I have the same setting as yours. Did you test it while the screen was off?

Yes I do, however it does not make any difference if I switch it off. I have reset the clock app even

On my side, since few days, on my new MATE10PRO, the alarm notification is always SET ON event if I've no alarm set...I've set ALARM off and on, I've resetted clock app, I've cleared cache partition...nothing works. Do you have any idea ?
Use the Google Clock (download from PlayStore). instead of the native Huawei alarm clock. Make sure you enable all the battery settings under battery / start, enable all the notifications (including making it a priority app) and disable battery optimizations under apps / special access.
Too much work for a simple alarm functionality!! I just got a Mate 10 pro. Not set it up yet. Going through the threads make me wonder if I made the right decision.
Huawei has always been and still kinda is about great hardware (or alternatively good hardware for not so much money) but weird software. Some software features are really great (better than stock Android even: screenshots, gestures, plenty of options in the settings, display color modes, app lock, one handed navigation etc.) but others are just worse than on other phones (e.g. lack of all the smart unlock options, battery saving features preventing widgets from updating or apps from staying open etc., lockscreen notifications not expanding etc). You really have to pay attention to the settings with Huawei phones, especially if its about power saving features because they tend to close apps rather than keeping them open. One thing that EMUI already does better than pretty much any other system (Samsung, LG etc. - except Stock Android) is that it's very smooth and fast and stays fast for a very long time (unlike Samsung phones). Hope this helps with deciding whether you want to keep the phone.
Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.
FIRST!
So, I've installed and tested and here are my initial findings:
It works great and looks gorgeous!
If you have your notifications set to display the notification contents, those contents will also flash on the screen.
The default display interval of 60 seconds works perfectly, but when I set it to 30 seconds, it flashed approximately every 10 seconds for some reason.
The notification it chooses to flash doesn't appear to be based on the most recent received or highest priority. Can you explain how the app knows which notification to flash on the display?
So far, there is no way to interact with the notification. Swiping away or double tapping do nothing.
The only way to wake the phone is to press the power button or fingerprint scanner.
This is a great start and I hope you please keep up the great work! I will be donating to the cause!

The times were accurate on my pixel 2, but my pixel 3 which only just arrived, was being stopped. Probably due the aggressive process killing I've read about. So this morning I quickly added a secondary wake to keep it from being killed. I'll sync the times when I get home from work.
It uses the natural order of notifications. A priority option would be a good idea.
No interaction yet, but that's planned. So is a blackout period (don't pulse when you're sleeping for example).
Ignore my comment about the notification priority - that was user error.
Feature request: Can you add an option to have the ambient display stay on (no pulsing) until the user bypasses the ambient display screen? The flashing of the ambient display is a little distracting when the phone is on a desk. This way, we could still tell at a glance when we have a notification waiting, but the screen will go back to all black once we act on it or simply unlock the phone.
I can try but it may not be possible without root.

I have been working on a similar app, and could not find a way to get this to work while still allowing the device to doze, so the battery life is heavily impacted. Did you solve the battery drain issue?

I haven't noticed a battery drain issue, but I'm hoping xda can help find one if it exists. I'm not actually turning on the screen so doze should remain active.

Ah, I see. I have not actually run your app. I did not realize that your were pulsing the notifications themselves -- that's clever! For my own implementation, I am animating a fake LED that fades in and out, which obviously requires the screen to be on. The AOD has a way to doze with the screen on, but I have not found a way to expose that functionality to an app without root.
Anyhow, I see you are using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle to schedule your pulses. I wonder what the battery (and timing) impact is compared to setAndAllowWhileIdle?
Nice work on this!
I originally went down the road of doing a custom screen to mimic the LED until I came up with this idea.
From other threads I've seen some people will prefer that even if it uses slightly more battery.

I'm willing to be a tester for you if you need one. Pixel 3, rooted with magisk.
There's now an option to be able to swipe to dismiss and double tap to open the app. I'm working on notification actions next.

I may be able to use the real icons and colors. If so should I just remove the icon customization or would people still find that useful?
Hi mate, i bought your app right away. If you can integreat the original Icons for the famused apps, that would be great.
And can you look at the puls time? I set my time to 20 seconds but it puls every 40 - 50 seconds? Strange.

just as it is perfect now, only the repetition time does not work reliably
There is a possibility that the AOD stays on until the message has been read
Been looking for a way to customize the notifications since there's no LED light on this phone. I installed and bought you a coffee, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi is this app only usable to Google Pixel phones???
Man this sounds like an awesome app however I'm on an LG V30 (which also doesn't have an LED but this doesn't seem to work. The notification interaction feature alone would be worth the donation.
I'll mess around some more and see if I can get anything
I guess will be nice if we discuss how to achieve some kind of notification on our displays without draining the battery. Smartwatch is good way to deal with it, but let's keep to the phone itself. Most wanted feature is to have recurrent notifications. I invested some time in trying some apps and these are my "5 cents":
- Always On Edge- this is the program I prefer to use so far and will explain why. It lights up the edges and could be set to be recurrent. With many settings about almost everything. Just don't forget to save the settings after changing things. It works most of the time, but it's a bit tricky- don't let the system to control it (to stop it)- you can do it from battery management. And from my experience- use the power button to turn off the screen (or just leave it to turn off). Using some additional programs (like JButton and Fluid gestures) activate more secure mode (could be wrong) and prevent the notification blinking. The good is that it's relatively battery friendly.
- LED Blinker Notifications - always working, nice customization. Shows colored circles on the screen in Awlays On Display manner. Can set different color for different app and random position (to avoid burn-in). The bad- spends a lots of power and the battery is going down fast. And is way pricier. I bought it anyway to test it, but probably will stay unused.
- Glimpse Notifications- works (almost) always. The problem is that will either light up your screen (drains battery, because wakes up the CPU) or makes a vibration or a sound. This could be annoying for everyone.
- integrated Always On Screen feature in our phones- works fine, shows icons with the notifications. Nice solution, but spends about 1% battery per hour (on my phone). This is the whole consumption of the phone of course, but I think that this is 1.5-2 times more than regular consumption. It's good solution anyway.
I use the following combination:
- Always On Display with clock + notification icons
- Always On Edge (rainbow crashes around the edges + clock + notifications)
- phone is in DND
- Xiaomi Mi Band 3 vibrates

What is the purpose of DND? Avoiding sounds and turning on the screen?
P.S. In my previous opinion I meant AOD- Always On Display (not Screen ). Sorry for the mistake.

I don't want to hear anything from the phone. Just want to be notified in a visual (AOD + AOE) and haptic (Mi Band 3) way.
I assume screen or display is both fine
Hi
I'm also looking for a solution since I miss the LED so much. I'm currently with Always On Edge, but I'm not happy with it. It drains the battery quite a lot, even when I don't get a lot of notifications.
I had days where the stats do report 90 min cpu including 50 min in background. It's quite unrealistic that it had to blink that long during the whole day.
If somebody has a better alternative (also playing together with the fingerprint unlock), please let me know.
Better to check the mAh that are consumed, than the CPU and the screen time. It's located in Power Consumption Details -> Software and is not so bad. But probably depends on how much time you spend away from your phone. You can use AOD and put the phone with screen down, it will turn off screen until you flip it and see if notifications are available.

Hi there!
Is there a way to change how the vibration works? Sorry for the noob question.. cheers!
@kimirai1027 for some Apps e.g. WhatsApp you can specify vibration intensity:

@doemEINS Thank you buddy.. cheers!
I had tried to use ALWAYS ON EDGE (among a few other apps) but no matter what settings I tried, etc. I could not get it to work. That being said, I found another app on the Play Store called ALWAYS ON AMOLED and it works like a CHAMP.
It is super customizable and seems to be very similar to ALWAYS ON EDGE so if you are looking for something like this to use as a visual for notifications then I recommend this app. Just search for ALWAYS ON AMOLED on the Play Store...
damn huawei, in the p30 pro are a lot of missing features.
don´t look on samsung, you might get wet eyes, however they want the same price, lol.

You are absolutely right! Nothing to add from my part, it is exactly what I lack in my P30 Pro: the software is horrible.
On the other hand, guys what is wrong with just using the AOD? It doesnt drain the battery like the Samsung one...so...? I use that and I am ok with it.

I find it unbelievable in this day and age when manufacturers decide to remove a functional Led yet don't replace it with anything half decent for notifications.
You know when you plug in your charger, those green bubbles appear? A notification like that would have been nice.

No ?
I dunno if you're still interested, but there is a way to get it to blink more often:
There's an app called Oxygen AOD Mod. It's on the app store, and there's no root. You can set intervals for the horizon light to flash multiple times.

You can root then flash renovate magisk rom that is in telegram for latest, or op7 pro thread for latest stable
Has option to keep screen lights flashing till you view or extended duration
Thank you @heavy95d for this hint :good: the oxygen AOD Mod app looks great and horizon light is working now more than once bedtime (no notification in defined period) also works fine on my OnePlus 7T Pro. only missed calls don't get a notification hint.
battery usage is very low. i had used the app NotifyEdge in the past. also a super app with a beautiful edge lightning. but unfortunately this app drain the battery very fast if lightning is active. so oxygen AOD Mod is the better app for reactivate Horizon Light.
I use the free no-ads Plus Beat app since the OP7TPro day one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vaf.vishal.plusbeat&hl=en
No battery drain and it shows also the notification content on the Ambient Display screen, so non need to unlock to read the messages.
Lot of options, also a Do Not Disturb mode to skip notification alerts while sleeping.
However all these similar apps don't show missed calls and apparently interfere with invoking Google assistant by voice.

hmmm i don't have problems with oxygen AOD Mod app and Google voice.
But the Always On Display (AOD) and the Ambient Display are 2 different things: which does Oxygen AOD Mod use?
OnePlus doesn't have yet native AOD (but soon will do), it has Ambient Display but it's launched only once when receiving a notification and it's not repeated furthermore. Repeating it continuously is just what apps like Plus Beat do.

My Mi A3 got the Android 10 update and I was excited to see the Always On Display option, but when I enabled it I noticed that the clock does not move around (like Samsung's) so I'm worried about burn-in.
Can anyone confirm if that's a risk with the stock AOD or not?
PS: I have no interest in third-party AOD apps.

In my case AOD consumes about 2% of battery per hour, same as on Android 9. I certainly would want less battery consumption, but it's not that catastrophic. What's the battery consumption on MIUI (% per hour)?

With android 10 battery consuption of AOD was 4-6% per hour now with MIUI is 1-2% per hour. I think miui has more aggressive batery saver and stocks android AOD was first attempt at android 10 so it has room for changes and optimization

Probably first build of A10 had bug where phone wasn't going to deep sleep with AOD, but it has been fixed already. It's been about 2% ever since (and also on A9), which I believe is the HW limitation and can't go much lower.
