I see the charging indicator and percentage is always on now when the Tab is charging, is there a way to get the clock on as well? Like the phones? I saw a thread about developer options, but that just keeps the screen awake.
I was wondering if it can show the charging battery percentage, why can't we show the clock?? Am I missing something?
Thanks
Forget it.

Thanks. Looks like your recommend is working, does it move the time around the screen? Not that I'm too worried about burn in on an almost three year old tablet, but still. The settings aren't the cleanest, so maybe I missed it.

"Always on AMOLED" has all needed features like "Auto movement" and "Time Rules".
However, there is always the risk of burn in!
You should use AOD intermittently.

This is my first samsung and I haven't figured out everything yet, I would like the display to stay on while it is charging so I can use it as a clock. My Evo always stayed on while it was charging and I could hit the power button to turn off the display while charging if i wanted to, is this possible on the sprint s3?

I used extended controls and have the control sitting in my pull down. Use the toggle "stay awake".
Let me know if you need more info.

thanks for the reply, I can't find extended controls, where is it?
the reason they disabled the option is because the super AMOLED screen can be prone to burn-in and washing out. i suggest NOT leaving it on for extended times (especially if the screen is not changing images)

There is a app in the market called stay awake. I use it and it's pretty good gets the job done.

Good to know. I don't leave it on while charging, but I like to have my music more accessible when driving since this thing doesn't have music control on the lockscreen.
I would never, ever leave the display of any of my OLED devices on when I am not directly interacting with them.
I had bad burn in on my old Nexus One from simply having the display on while charging.
I learned my lesson then; never again.
So I, at first, thought Assertive wasn't working/enabled on my V20 but it turns out the stock settings are just pathetic. I spent some time adjusting the config file and had a few fellow V20 users test out my changes and they have all reported back that it works fantastically now.
For Assertive to function, your phone MUST be set to 'automatic' backlight control.
Decompress and copy my file to your phone and replace the calib.cfg located in /system/media/display/. Make sure to change the permissions on the replacement file to 644.
Reboot and enjoy
Test out in direct, bright sunlight. You'll be surprised.
Let me know your results in the poll and in comments.
Thank you for your work brother
what does this do exactly?

Assertive Display was designed by APICAL. They are owned by Qualcomm and Qualcomm has built the tech into their SoCs.
Basically, it adjusts the gamma curve, white balance, contrast, etc. of the display based on intensity and amount of ambient light. It can take a display that would be utterly crushed by sunlight and make it readable.
Try it out.
Colours get really washed out in the sunlight but i can see the screen better

The problem I have is in low light environment. Screen goes to zero as soon as the light gets dimmed. I can't think of any environment that I would want the screen at zero. That's just too dark for my old eyes

I'm on T-Mobile H918. Mine jumps from 50 to zero as soon as the light gets dimmed .
Tap the light button in the pull down status bar. It corrects this issue. (Right above where it says 68%)

Can anyone show me an example of how text notifications and others will work with always on when you receive it, I am used to having a notification light and I want to make sure this isn't a deal breaker for me.
if you use always on display no notification led appared. icons of the notification appears in the top of clock
In terms of "alerting" you to the phone, definitely not as good as led lights, because from distance it looks the same whether you have a notification or not, and nothing really pops out at you when you get new notification. But I still prefer it because you can see all the notifications you have by simply looking at the screen without turning it on or pressing anything
Will AoD cause issues with screen burn in? Does it stay in the same place or does it move around? And if it moves around, does it move to random locations or does it stay in the same exact locations?

Stays in same spot - but of course notification icons and clock constantly changing it slightly. I dont think its an issue due to how dim it is. There is a setting to make it bright, but it warns of battery drain. I have no need to make it bright though.

Are you sure? I've definitely seen mine in at least a couple of different spots (it seems to change after a certain amount of time rather than number of locks)

LOL. No I'm not. Since you said this, I just checked again and it seems it may have slide down the screen ever so slightly. I also just tried to turn it off and back on a few times to mark where it was and it hasnt changed. So, I will keep an eye on it and see if I can tell if there's movement. Thanks.

Lol yea to be honest when I first saw it in a different spot it didn't even occur to me that it might be a thing to prevent burn ins. I'd even admit to having shaken the phone a couple times to move it back once I couldn't find any settings for the clock location -_-...one of the stupider things I've done in 2017

s8+ it moves slightly. random spots I think. same with the home button, that moves too. all ever so slightly. I think they did this to stop burns.
I hope the v30 isn't as obvious like the v20's burn, I had burn from like day 1.....

Is there any way to set the AOD to turn on only when you pick up the phone? (like in Iphones).

I don't think so but if you cover the proximity sensor for around 15 seconds or so it turns off the display until it's not covered. I got into the habit of facing it face down to trigger it or covering the top part of the display with something

Don't think it can be done so yet. Something like double tap on the screen to wake would have been better than AOD all the time sucking battery.
I found a thing and I am currently trying it out. In the AOD settings you can adjust the brightness yourself (rather than leaving it on auto-brightness).
It has 4 levels. I have set it to level 2 (level 1 was almost not visible during day light).
Up to now I see much lower battery consumption from AOD. Will keep testing and report.

There are tilt to wake apps in the play store.... I could not get them to work right....
I did find one super cool option to help me solve this issue. Its buried deep in accessibility settings. Its the "interaction and dexterity option." It will allow you to wake the screen by waving your hand over it. Yes, this is deeply buried but one of the most useful features of the phone.
Sure, this is not what you are asking but I thought I would throw it out there so you have an option.

Yes, sorry I meant to say to wake the phone when you pick it up. But to take it a step further it would be nice to have an option to just open AOD when you pick the phone up.

Can't we just enable always on display? Aren't there any hack to enable it?
And if it's
Battery will not be able to stand 1Hour at least i think
Come on you own smartwatch
Keep raising your hand every few minutes, it will stay on always then. Problem solved.

You know he was kidding, right?
AOD function must have support not only from the software, but also HW. In theory, you could enable AOD on Mi Band 4, but you'd risk AMOLED burn in and most probably very high power consumption. If you really must have this feature, buy a band/watch which supports it properly and out of the box.

It should be possible theoretically.
The latest firmware (1.0.6.24) has option change the display duration (Auto screen off time). But, it only let's to choose between 5 to 10 seconds. So, hopefully, the firmware update can take care of increasing the time to longer period (infinite).
A very light watch face with minimum color (black and white) theme should take care of the quick battery drain.
I think, is cool to have this option.

That's what i am thinking... It's possible actually although some are not agreeing with it..
That's nice that you think it, but I'm sure you would blame Xiaomi for adding this feature if it caused persistent image retention problem, desaturated colors over time and maybe some other HW defects due to prolonged use of OLED panel.
Yes, the burn-in could be a problem as well.
May be we can come up with some solution like the moving display (like the ones in old screensavers on CRT) or the one in Glitch watchface and UI (given below).
