I like the always on display, but when i have the phone connected with the charger, i noticed that during the night i don't see the time anymore after a few hours.
I can't find a setting to get the display always on.
Does somebody know a solution?
Solved:
Displays dies after a couple of hours when "not disturb" mode is on
when this mode is off and speakers are silenced, always on display stays on.
Also if can detect via the proximity sensor if the phone is face down or in a pocket or purse. It will turn off

Hey fellas..
Whenever I sync any bluetooth device to my phone, it periodically turns on my display on my Samsung Omnia (it turns off normally on its own). As soon as I turn off the bluetooth device or disconnect with it, then my display stays off. My bluetooth stays enabled during all this testing FYI.
Has anybody ran into this issue before?
Thanks in advance
why would that be an issue?

I have my bluetooth headset on and my screen keeps turning on every few minutes. Its any bluetooth device being linked to my phone.
Bumping my question back to Page 1.
you mean... it lights up every now and again while a bluetooth device is connected? or only while connecting to the device?
With my bluetooth headset connected the screen turns on every few minutes and it appears that the time inbetween the screen turning on is identical. I think the headset is just checking with the phone to keep connected, which turns the screen on.
When I synced via bluetooth to my desktop, the screen turns on whenever I do anything over bluetooth between the computer and the phone.
Is there any registery settings that I might try to prevent bluetooth from turning my screen on? ever?
Same thing here mate. Only my Touch Pro turns on the display (and keeps it on no matter what) whenever some BT accesory is connected, whether it be the carkit or the headphones. Pressing the power button causes the screen to turn off only to turn on by itself a second later. When BT accessory is disconnected everything works normal. Oh and I have bluetooth on all the time on the phone (never turn it off), but it only does this with smth connected. I suppose it's some kind of keepalive, but it annoys the hell outta me cause I can't listen to music w/o draining my battery and even starting some programs by accidental screen presses. So if anyone has a solution to keep the screen off it'd be more than welcome.
Something new - under Wifi Settings/Advanced - I have Wi-Fi set to sleep when display is off..
This doesn't seem to be the case. My WiFi is Always on.
I would imagine that the icon would disappear like it does when WiFi is turned off.. but when the phone is asleep and then wakes up, the WiFi connection is still there.
Anything I can try to fix this? I have tried changing the WiFi sleep policy to the other 2, then changing it back to display power - didn't work.
I did have to reboot the phone last night because I couldn't get WiFi to turn off, but I don't have a problem today with turning it on or off.. just won't go to "sleep"
It may be turning off and you just don't notice it. Cause I know that as soon as I turn on the display again its maybe half a second and then the wifi is back on. So you may be missing the switch.
I also notice that I have to leave the display off for a good two or three mins for it to turn off.

Is there a way to find out how long you are connected to an Access Point?
I am noticing a big difference in battery drain when WiFi is turned completely off, then when it is in the "Sleep" mode.
Maybe its normal but I have smart stay on so if i am looking at the screen it dims but doesn't turn off. This happens even with auto brightness, power saving and auto adjust screen tone turned off. the browser also has auto brightness turned off. the only thing i can think is maybe there is a conflict with quick settings which also has auto brightness turned off. if i am not looking nat eh screen it dims and in a few seconds shuts off.
what mine does...
Same here. I even start blinking and moving my eyes to see if it will stay on. I know I've got to look like an idiot.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
I have been playing with smart stay as well, but I haven't seen that it keeps the screen on any longer ... maybe I just haven't had enough patience.
smart stay does keep my screen on but it does not prevent the screen from dimming. I think the phone automatically dims right before its about to shut off even if i have all dimming settings turned off. right before it shuts off smart stay keeps it on but only after the screen dims thus i am stuck with a dim screen.
Stock S6 (T-Mobile, 64GB, White). I have two different QI chargers (one is the TYLT Vu Wireless Charger (Qi) and the other is a CHOE stadium). The phone charges fine with both chargers, but the screen keeps turning on while charging and I can't seem to find a setting to disable this.
As soon as I put it on the charger, the screen turns on, so I hit the power button. Usually it turns back on within 5 seconds, so I hit the power button again. It will then stay off for a while, but if I wake up in the middle of the night the screen is back on again. Any ideas what is causing this?
I have noticed that the screen tends to turn on when I get a notification or when the "searching for GPS" pops up on the lock screen, but in both cases the display will dim but it will not turn all the way off.
Edit - forgot to mention that I get the same results regardless of whether or not the phone is in a case.
I got the same thing with portable battery packs... very annoying.
Also mine keeps getting off and on all the time.
Strange - my screen turns off fine if it's plugged charging via USB. It's only wireless charging that has issues on mine.
The screen always wakes up when it starts or stops charging. Do you have the developer option turned on to leave the scree on when charging? If so, when it wakes up at the end of charging, it will never turn back off. If you don't have this option enabled, then I don't have a good reason.
Thank you thank you! I just enabled developer options (after accidentally finding Flappy Android) and the "keep screen on while charging" option was turned on by default. Doing a test charge now, but it appears as if the screen is staying off.
Awesome!
I'm using my tablet as a car navigation device. I may leave my car parked for up to a week sometimes.
Ideally, I'd like to turn the device off when I stop my car (cable unplugged or screen off) and then turn the device on when I start my car (cable plug in, screen on). Since it takes a while to boot up (and I don't know how to autoboot when the cable is plugged in on a LG g pad 8.0), I don't want to actually turn off the tablet.
Therefore, I have installed "Automate" to enable airplane mode when screen is off and turn off airplane mode when screen is on. I also have Greenify and enabled Aggressive Doze. However, even doing this, I notice that while the screen is off, the phone will still come out of doze periodically. Also eventhough airplane mode is on, Gsam Battery stats show the phone radio is on the entire time (but not data).
Is there a way to force it to doze and not wake up until I tell it to?
Also, for some reason, as it keeps going into airplane mode and back out, I will get a message saying the sim card has been removed and it will force me to reboot. If I don't go into airplane mode at all, I dont get the message. It's only from switching it on and off.
