Hi all,
My all time favourite watch was this:
http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watch_museum/s-mode/oberonss/
People used to stop me in the street to ask how it worked. Trying to work out the time when drunk was impossible but I loved it. Unfortunately, I lost it on holiday last year and the company do not make it any more, so I have purchased a Gear S2 in the hope that somebody out there might be able to create a watchface that replicates what it does?
I am more than happy to pay for this work. If you are able to help, perhaps you could message me to arrange?
Thanks in advance!!

i looked at this watch and am interested in creating it for the gear s2. my thought is that it would be more intuitive if the time rings progressed as follows:
(example time 3:25)
outer ring = hour, so 3 dots
middle ring = tens of minutes, so 2 dots
inner ring = final minute digit (0-9), so 5 dots
in the video from your link the middle and inner links are reversed, which is a bit confusing. as a previous owner would you agree?
Hi, and thanks for replying. I couldn't agree with you more about the dots being in the wrong order. I got used to it over the years, but to have them follow a natural order would be better. Do you think you can do this?
it is a pretty unusual watch face which i like. i've done several requests that are now in the gear store but this one will really test my skill level. the animation part will be a significant challenge.
i am going to give this a try.
You sir, are my hero
Please advise of anything I can do, testing etc. As stated above, also happy to pay you for your time, as this will make me so happy!!
If animation proves difficult, even just the ability to display the time this way would be incredible.

working thru the design phase, i believe the reason that the original oberon watch rings were ordered hour/minutes/ tens of minutes was due to the look for times that ended in 6-9. the middle ring would then be longer than the inner ring. this probably looks better.
for example 10:47
outer ring 10 dots
middle ring 7 dots
inner ring 4 dots
this provides a more symetrical look, but i still think the way i am proposing makes more sense even though it may not be as asthetically pleasing
outer ring 10 dots
middle ring 4 dots
inner ring 7 dots
not as symetrical, but easier to tell time. i am more inclined to this method rather than the original. your thoughts?
That sounds perfect

watch face to display TIME is done. running on my s2 3g now, looks good. takes a bit to get used to reading time in this format. very unconventional.
next will try to get initial animation sequence to work which would really make it look more gooder.
don't think date will work out. i use Gear Watch Designer as the dev tool which is ok but is still beta, so there is no ability to include a function to double press side button and activate DATE like the original watch.

To be honest with you, I never really used the date function so this is not a problem for me. if needed I can check phone but I usually know the date
I'm sooooooo looking forward to this!! I don't suppose you've used the middle section to add stuff like battery, steps etc have you as would be cool to include that obvs.

i've got 2 easter eggs on the current version. touching just below the 12o'clock position opens S-Voice and just above the 6o'clock position opens Timer (i use these 2 functions routinely; they can be hard coded to open whatever). there isn't a whole lot of real estate on the face so these spots are invisible.
there is enough room in the middle for maybe 2 items so let me know exactly what you want.

Only really the battery percentage would be useful for me, and also the date in "xx mon" format if possible??
Sorry, also a notification indicator if possible????
ya notifications. GWD doesn't allow that. I and many others have been badgering the Samsung programmers to include notifications in the development tool. maybe in a future revision.
I will add battery and date in the requested format.
Here's the deal. Tomorrow is out so i will submit the binary to samsung for certification on monday. they are fairly backlogged; i have several other submissions in limbo and it's been a week now. it's possible the oberon watchface will be available by the end of the week but don't hold your breath. i'll let you know the name of the watchface once sammy certifies it. the proposed cost will be 2USD. if i can get the initial animation sequence puzzle solved, it will be available as an update in the future (i presume at no charge unless sammy does something odd).

so today was a good day. for one i was blessed to wake up this morning and to top it of i held a ATT FUZE in my hand. it was the best 10 plus minutes in my life while i was wearing clothes lol. yes people i was at the store today in Milford, CT. the sales associate there had a test model. and i must say it is everything you would have guessed it would be. first off both the stores i went to in the Milford, CT area said the phone will be available the first week in november. so the oct. 23 date is a farse. the guy at the store named weel call "joe the plumber" (cause he is so famous these days) said he had his training on this past tuesday. and most likely the phone will be in his words. "the same price as the tilt when it came out or price competativaly with the iphone. with the rebate if u get the data upgrade." im probally not going to say any thing about the phone you dont know but it reafems the fact that it is real and is as good as advertized. and in the Milford store i was told i was the only person to ask about the phone so i should be the only one with it for a while. im the 1st person in the list for the saleperson. i cant wait for that call in november.
the phone= it self has the diamond back like the unlocked version. i dont know i asked why cause sprints diamond has a soft touch back and he said "the test group didnt like that feture." but i said if ur typing on the table the phone will wiggle cause of the uneven back. i think att was lazy and told htc to change the keyboard and ship the phone out. lol. and the phone is so light. the tilt is a brick compared to this phone. i currently hava lg cu500 and it is bout .25" taller and not much thicker. and that is good cause you get a ful keybaord.
the keyboard= lost the upper top row of just numbers. but it has a lot of quick bottons for text and internet and such. also has a phone style number pad on the keyboard. the keys felt nice and the sliding was smooth. and the screen responded nice. though the accelerometer was not as resposive as he iphone when you moved the phone when viewing webpages. but the zoom was sick.
the camera= i didnt really take pics but the pics he toke and had on the phone was clear. he also showed me the card reader program. with this program you take a pic of a bussines card and it scans the info and make a new ocntact on your phone. it toke like 15 sec for it to scan i thought it froze but it was understandable and still amazinfg when all the info was pust in the correct name, address, etc. sections on the screen. the touch flo with pics are amazing and the screen is so nice. the phone had a led flash if i remember correct. i was so distracted by the pretty screen and touch flo i didnt take time to look much at the buttons and such on the phnone. but i temember a white/yellow thing below the camera lense.
what the phone comes with. the phone i looked at was a test phone so jow said all he got in his black unmarked box was cd, phone, usb, and charger. i know when i went to the sprint store in Hamden, CT where i live and looked at the diamond it came with that and a holtster, air buds, screen protector. i hope att add these things cause for the price i kinda expect it, and htc makes them for the unlocked phone so it should happen.
touch flo was sick. it works as adverticed. they obviously added a att store tab. the pics scrooled nice, and the music player was cool. the contact was scroolable too. i mean everything that you already know is there.
so in closing. the 1st week in november is the date to look for. not this oct 23 but im ok with being proved wrong lol. please excuse and grammer errors. the price should be $300- $400 with the rebate. its not the iphone so they are not going to make there money of volume. and if i remember correct it is a dark red color. i hope this was helpfull to someone cause i was excited when i saw it. though i played it cool. lol Thanks

That's a loooong story... Here's mine:
Bought one on eBay, had it for 3 weeks, sold for $100 more than I paid, it was fun. The end.
yes i have heard your story many times. i have been reading his site for a whole now. i was simply trying to give a full experience for those that care to read it. im sorry your attention span is limited. ill make my post shorter next time.

I don't know if he was trying to be pejorative with his reply, but I enjoyed your long post and its little details.
I'm a bit disappointed with the ATT version of this phone from all accounts. There are really two big things for me. First, the top row of keys would be far more useful had it been left alone as numbers in my opinion. I'm sure I'll get used to it if I end up buying the Fuze, but it's still a disappointment.
The second issue is really just an annoyance, which may end up being completely null in the end. It's the Diamond back, and how prone to wobbling it seems it will be. However, without a tilting screen it is unlikely I would ever really be typing on it while on flat surface anyway (in fact, I normally pick up my Tilt to type even with the tilting screen). And ever since discovering Pocket Controller Pro I'm even less likely to even touch my phone while it's on my desk. So maybe the positives of the aesthetic Diamond back actually outweigh the probably minor negatives of its functionality.

It's odd, my Fuze actually sat on a table and stayed in one position, didn't lean either way, just sat there with the way the back was. I had no problems with it. Also, I'm surprised to see you didn't like the symbols on top, most people I've spoken with (myself included) like the functionality of the symbols. Oh well, to each their own.
Which store in Milford? I used to live there but i'm in college in NYC now. At the Post mall or next to the Starbucks and stuff?
yes the one in the mall. the one by starbuks had a guy that was going for the training but as far as i know there was no test phone at that store. which is weird cause that is the bigger store.
and also i did test typing with the diamond back and it in fact did wobble when typing on a flat surface. though ur right u probably would just hold it rather than type on a flat surface.

Can you guys please tell me:
Did the phone make that shutter noise when you took a picture?
I find that noise annoying when using a camera.
thanks!

Even if it does, you can remove it.
With 3rd party software or with a feature that is built-in?
There are countries passing out laws that a camera on a phone must make that noise so people in the area know a photo is being taken. I was just wondering if AT&T Fuze was on that list.

if the phone is on silent it wont or im sure you can do a tweak or registry change anyway
all right, thanks!
A friend of mine got the nokia n82 with a 5 MP camera. The problem that he finds with it is that the camera makes that noise through the speaker when he takes a picture with it. Even when his phone is on silent or when his headphones are plugged in. I don't think he's found a tweak for it yet.
I was just wondering if it was the same with the Fuze. If anyone who has it can confirm it, it will be greatly appreciated.
when "Joe" toke the picture for the business card it did make a flash sound. though i dont know if the feature can be turned off. but like posted before im sure someone here will be able to fix that no prob.
and on a side note has anyone got any new on the android OS working on the fuze.

Damn, just googled Milford, CT, and it would be an hours drive... Guess I'll have to wait until release to play with the Fuze
P.S. To the guy with the camera questions, every HTC phone that I know of has had the option to turn off the camera sound...

That's the same question I was about to ask. When you say dark red, do you mean as in the Blackjack II?
yes i do mean a dark red like the black jack II. it was ruby, dark burgundy color. i maybe mistaken cause i was blinded by the sole fact that i has the phone in my hand. lol
ill probably go look at i again this weekend or today. but i dont want to seem like that weird customer that comes in and never buys anything. i work sales and i hate that BS. lol

Well there are two reasons I would prefer the numbers. First of all, it's more like an actual computer keyboard. That would make it more comfortable and normal feeling - at least in theory. Second - and more importantly - I type numbers more often than I type symbols. Having the convenience of not needing to press the function key would be very nice.
I suppose it could go either way though. I'm definitely going to try out the keyboard before I buy, and I'll likely try out the Sprint version (or unlocked HTC version, if I can get my hands on one for a few minutes without purchasing it) also just to make sure. With a fifth row, I'm sure it's an improvement over the four rows on my Tilt no matter which configuration though, so it's not even close to a deal breaker. Just a little disappointment.
Out of curiosity, why would you prefer symbols? I really can't think of a reason why they would be better than numbers, so I'm wanting to know from someone who has that opinion.

i think most people don't mind the number PAD because you can press Fn twice to do a number lock. And since the numbers are grouped together, theoretically it's easier to type series of numbers...ie. phone number
i didn't like the fact that 5th row # was removed (they added that 5th row for THAT REASON!), but then I can see other people's point as well...oh well, i've come to accept that fact, as long as Fuze doesn't make us wait any longer
Hi all,
I'm continuing to keep myself busy creating more custom watchface designs whilst I'm in between jobs and am keen to get your feedback on the following animated gears/cogs watchface design that I created. I'm quite happy with the end result and am keen to make some more but before I invest more time in them I'd like to know what you think? I believe it's the first of its type for the Sony SmartWatch 2 as it runs as a proper low-power enabled watch/clock widget rather than an app.
Video of the animation (only whilst the screen of the watch is on):

Excellent work dude. Marvelous Would you be able to make the watch face little smaller at the bottom or on the top so that other widgets like battery and weather can also be added or is it easy to embed them in your watch face?

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've had this type of feedback from a few people about all of my watchfaces. Unfortunately with the relatively low resolution of the Sony SmartWatch 2 screen (220x176) it doesn't do well in displaying my watchfaces when scaled down to smaller sizes. Even when it takes the full 5x5 grid I need to do a lot of tweaking to get it to display clearly to make the watchface actually functional (i.e. you can read the time and the date). In terms of embedding widgets into the watchface - this isn't something that I know how to do as it is beyond my technical coding capabilities. For the meantime I suggest that people install the hack so that they can overlay other widgets on top of the watchface.
Originally I felt that it would be cool to have lots of the widgets on my watch, but after a while I realised that I didn't really need them as I could always turn the watch on to access the apps. I found that they cluttered the screen and detracted from being able to see a nice watchface design. That's why my watchface designs are based mostly on utilising the full 5x5 grid size.
Thanks for the immediate response dude. After reading your message, I now started to realise that I don't really use all the widgets as you said. All we need is a good looking watch face that make our watch looks great and is not memory or battery hungry. I will look forward to see the final version of your watch face to buy. Good luck with the project.

Hi, no unfortunately not else that would open a lot of opportunities. It's manually coded in to rotate the gears.
That's great idea :good:
let me guess, you've used the seconds view to make the gears movable

Yep exactly right! You can potentially use this technique to do other types of animation.

Like it, I'd purchase but it would have to look bigger. Wouldn't be interested in using any widgets with that watch face so make it bigger. Lose the border & push it out to the edges of the screen & you've got a sale.
Julian, great design, just purchased design #1, which was my wife and daughter favorite. One request? Would it make the hour and minute hands easier to see with a bit darker outline? I realize complications like open face are usually harder to read and the SW2 screen isn't very sharp by design, but it may still make it easier to see the hour and minute hands to tell time. Just a thought, and again, thanks for making the watch even better!

When you say lose the border, do you also mean the border that currently has the roman numerals in it? I can make the hour markers float on top instead...

For example the gold style. Remove the gold border around the edge & push the minute/seconds markers right to the edge of the screen.

Hello fellow wearable enthusiasts!
Just wondering about what you all think of this face. I would be happy to share it with a few people in exchange for useful feedback even though it has already been approved for sale in the app store. Just add in your comment if you are interested and I will get it to you. Just looking for general constructive feedback though.
Just for clarity, the bottom left is the imperial emblem and doubles as the battery meter. the light saber is the second hand and sweeps smoothly, the destroyer is at the back of the minute hand.... then the date bottom middle and MPH on bottom right..... that's about it I think.... it will have additional colors on first update.
That looks sweet!

I really like it. I would suggest maybe a different placement of the star destroyer. At first glance it could look like a strange nose on Vader possibly. Overall though I think it looks really good, nice job

Just for clarity, the bottom left is the imperial emblem and doubles as the battery meter. the light saber is the second hand and sweeps smoothly, the destroyer is at the back of the minute hand.... then the date bottom middle and MPH on bottom right..... that's about it I think.... it will have additional colors on first update.

Very nice!
Thanks guys for the positive words... It means a lot to have some feedback after working on something like this that is a lot more work than it probably looks like. Once it clears the final testing stage I will try to contact the couple people who posted to see if you would like to have the face for yourself. Thanks again!
Yeah, I like it too. Very cool.
I agree, putting the destroyer at the end of the lightsaber is a little distracting. I think I'd put it over on the right, opposite the death star, maybe with some Tie-fighters, and just make the back side of the hands the lightsaber handles.
And/or bring Vader's mouth out a little more - seems too dark. Like in this picture:
http://assets2.ignimgs.com/2015/08/...-arms-1280jpg-88461e1280wjpg-67c0c2_1280w.jpg
Maybe change MPH to heart rate, or at least make it an option. Speedometer seems a little like a novelty for a watch for me - I personally wouldn't need it on my face for access at all times.
Just some ideas - but nice job!
Hey guys thanks again for the comments, i am going to take everything said into account on the first update. If anybody wants the face, i posted some coupons in the main section, general or whatever it's called. Thanks agn.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum so apologies if this issue has been discussed before (I did a search but couldn't find anything.)
I've just bought a Huawei Watch 2 Classic and so far I've been very pleased with it, except for one thing. A day or two since I started using it, I noticed that on a grey background i.e. the one used for both the notification cards and the app menu, there's a sort of 'smudge' or unevenness to the screen at around the 10 O'Clock mark that's distracting. It's quite subtle and hard to describe (a cloud? bright patch? light bleed?) but once you've noticed it it's hard not to see it:
(I tried to post pictures of the problem here but I can't yet as I'm a new member)
It's always going to be difficult to take a picture of such an issue as the camera will correct for white balance, exposure etc but trust me it's more noticeable in person. In bright light it's also harder to see and is most noticeable at night or in dim light. To be completely honest, I can't see the issue on any other background or situation except when viewing notification cards or the app menu but I try not to go looking for it either.
All I want to know is am I being pedantic or should I be requesting a replacement?
Can you try and post pictures, I know .ay not be easy.
I haven't seen this issue but I've noticed the screen goes grey when on standby

I tried in every way possible to upload pictures or at least links to them but I can't as I'm a new member and therefore I have to make around 10 posts before I can publish any external links or pictures. I never got a response back from the forum owner requesting that I be able to do so either.
Perhaps when I've made a few more posts I'll upload the pictures for you to see, if only for future reference.
For information, I ended up sending it back for a full refund anyway - not necessarily because of the screen issue but because I couldn't see how it fit into my life. Also the supplier was out of stock for a replacement anyway so the choice was sort of made for me. I found it was actually more annoying having constant notifications on my wrist than on my phone, not to mention being socially unacceptable to have to keep looking down at my watch on a frequent basis. Unless these notifications were read or actioned as soon as they arrived, I found the interface to be too clunky to deal with them later which meant a lot of swiping and prodding, not an ideal experience.
Never mind, perhaps the smart watch market will mature in the not too distant future. I may well re-visit the idea at some point but for now I'll stick to a traditional timepiece.

actually when you get used to it you'll know that it's way better than traditional watches, you can see the weather and track your activities on your watch and listen to music without even taking your phone with you! and its getting way more normal in social life to have a smart watch specially when there are many people using apple watch right now that has a lot less features than android wear! (maybe not a lot but hey, its android!)

hey, thank you for coming back to me, I sent you a pm
I chatted with oneplus chat and I called them up and I let them know that the fact that they gave us always on display for the first week of this phone and then took it away permanently was out of line, and I let them know that I did not upgrade to the OnePlus 6t just because it didn't have always on display. I would not like to double tap my screen to turn the fingerprint scanner on I think that's ridiculous and 1 + imotto is never settle yet we don't have always on display. I told them oxygen OS is getting stale looking and I do not like the way it looks, I told them the settings icons are ugly they don't look like stock Android pie to me at all, they're moving farther away from stock Android pie in my opinion. I told them it's not all about speed and battery it's about features and I think they're features are lacking. (Like I can't even search for an icon when I try to apply a custom icon, so instead I have to manually search for the icon) I told them I'm sick of having to get an invitation to buy something and never being able to purchase anything because always invitation-only or sold out. I said I didn't like being teased with launch events & watching everybody getting all this swag and I'm never able to purchase any of it. I told them that they need to get always on display like next week like now, I told them they need always on display ASP, I told them I want always on display and I told them again. I do not want a phone that does not have always on display. Ever again. So we should be getting always on display now shortly. You're welcome
Also I told them that I'm sick of them never releasing the proper blobs for the open betas so the developers can make a proper kernel for the open betas, I told them that's ridiculous, that's our favorite part about the phone, the kernels, and they never release the blobs for the community.
I told them I like to have peace of mind when I install a kernel and I don't like installing kernels I'm not sure is going to work properly with the newest beta release of oos, I said they need to fix that immediately. I told them I skipped the 6t & got the pixel 3 XL instead because I think the 6t is hella wack. If it would have came with always on display I would have bought it but it didn't and that's ridiculous. I'm sick of settling. There's more to a phone than speed and decent battery life. I like features. I like always on display. if you can believe this the OnePlus 6t doesn't even have always on display, no LED blinker and you got to double tap the screen to unlock it with your fingerprint. Wtf
They think we're stupid. The OnePlus 6 is much better than the OnePlus 6t for sure. If I'm going to spend $600 on a phone I wouldn't mind spending another hundred more to get everything I would like on the phone feature wise. I told them to stop trying to act brand new. I told them their cases look the same every year, their so 2014 and played out looking, they need to update their look of oxygen OS and their cases. I'M SO SICK OF EBONY WOOD & CARBON. I told them if they fix this next time they release a phone I'll buy it. but I'm not going to spend hours a day fixing my phone because they won't release the proper blobs for all their open bettas. We should start a campaign where they bring us always on display by December. how are we going to live in a world where are phone doesn't have always on display. this is torture no always on display is torture & we're definitely settling. That goes against everything OnePlus stands for. We're living without always on display, can you believe that, I don't like that janky rigged always on display mod either, the brightness is never right and it's only available for the stable releases of oxygen OS because they won't release the damn blobs. If I could have always on display a decent-looking interface for oos launcher with the settings icons looking like stock Android and not final fantasy 7, I'd be happy.
I need always on display and I need my settings icons to look like Android pie it's driving me crazy the way the settings icons look. I need blobs for my developers so I can start donating my a** off again. you guys know that the settings icons are so ugly and you know it bothers you too.
the settings icons are freaking ugly they're ugly ugly
the settings icons are ugly
Happy Thanksgiving. GettiN uP to geT dOWN

Yes I do. I wasn't Aod . I want it back soon, how can we live in this world without always on display on our phone we won't even look cool in public
Those red ones on the ambient on display are fly. I need that always on, I need some cool points and that OnePlus always on display is freaking cool looking but it turns off in 1 second

No I kept it. ? I like it I just don't like the settings icons and I need always on display back. I wouldn't call the phone crappy but I feel like I'm settling 0n important features mainly aod, & the settings icons are so ugly to me
Come on everybody you know you really want always on display back it can easily be added back and you know the settings icons are super ugly come on how ugly are the settings icons. We would all be 20 times happier with always on display and normal looking Android pie settings icons. I can't just be me that is getting irritated with that. I flash a custom rom in the settings icons look so cool
Cool story...
Did oneplus say "thanks for sharing have a nice day."
I'm sure you really shook them up there.. Good god [emoji849][emoji57]

Ok, sorry Thanksgiving in Las Vegas kinda Goes.
I'll try to keep it under 25 mph.
And then all the employees in the call center stood up and clapped. They were literally shaking. Carl Pei read the transcript of OPs conversation 10 times with tears in his eyes because it hit so close to home.

They did burn us on the Aod though, and they never release the blobs for their open betas so we never get a completely working beta kernel. They're starting to cut too many corners. I'm really glad I skipped a 6t and just stuck with my 6 & went with the pixel XL 3 unlocked instead. I would really hate to have to double tap my screen just to turn on the fingerprint scanner. I did a pretty good job though of letting them know we want Aod back. I'm pretty sure they're going to be giving us Aod soon. And I bet they're going to get us a new settings icons too. I like always contact OnePlus chat so they know me really good so I'm pretty sure they sent the memo to the software team.I contacted OnePlus chat like 500 times in the last 6 months, I really like phones, OnePlus irritate me today because they wouldn't let me buy the backpack without an invitation code, I asked them "why they're trying to act brand new" and I told them there ebony wood & karbon cases are played out I was like I like the just black case the Google pixel offers. I told them this is getting really stupid that I have to win a competition to get an invitation to buy something or tap the phone 90,000 times to win something. I told them i don't have aod and the settings icons are ugly and no open beta blobs. Trust me they told the software team. I think the only way they might not give us the aod is they couldn't do it with the 6t for some reason, then they wouldn't give us that feature if they couldn't do it with the 6t. I don't know I need to get over it I got a pixel XL 3 who cares right it's just really annoying that I have to always fix my OnePlus 6, workout bugs trial and errors with all their bettas and no aod and now I got a winning invitation go to buy backpack. Their smoked out over at OnePlus. There's more to a phone than being really fast and have not having a lot of bloat. They have no features on this dang thing there's no features I hella like features and there's barely any features double tap to turn the screen off is a feature. I'm sick of trying to edit things and build props to get it things to work I'm just over it by the way who is this and why am I still talking to you my bad
OnePlus was the business in 2015 and 2017 but let's face it all good things come to an end and OnePlus definitely switching it up on us. The least they could do is give us stock Android look instead of this final fantasy 7 looking OS

Yeah bro. You rock! I know for a fact that the guys at OnePlus have a separate register for you because my uncle actually works there and he was telling me about you. Recently they actually launched a new subteam dedicated to listening to your responses because you are "the voice of the consumer" and you are known for "intense and to the point criticism that is extremely constructive". Every time you contact them there is a dedicated line opened for you and someone from the sub team is always on call to take input. Your reports are actually read by all of the upper management and not just the software team. We need you and more people like you to support us consumers man. I'm sure because of your efforts we will see AOD and AOSP settings icons added in the next update. In fact, and this is confidential information that could get my uncle fired, based on your reports, Carl Pei actually greenlit the secret update that enables the prototype in screen fingerprint scanner that is present in the OnePlus 6. Pretty cool huh?
I don't get it why AoD is so important for some people..

? I I usually don't criticize them actually, just lately I've been criticizing them. I just don't think it's too much to ask to have aod on our phones. It's a pretty basic feature.and I just started complaining about the settings icons. I doubt OnePlus team knows about me but their chat definitely knows me.lol

have you seen the OnePlus aod it's the coolest one I've ever seen it's got the red ones it is so fly, it makes me so upset that I can't have that feature always-on cuz it is so cool looking. It's way cooler looking than my pixel aod.
