When I initially put my phone face flat or in my pocket, my aod would completely turn off. However, when I do the same now, the screen just dims and the blue (infinity wallpaper) hue disappears completely. However, this isn't the same thing as the screen turning off, as doze will not be able to kick in. Is anyone else dealing with a similar problem?
You have to make sure the "Keep screen turned off" setting is enabled in Settings - Display - Keep screen turned off.

Yeah, I have the same issue. I checked to make sure that the "keep screen turned off" is enabled. It is and my phone still won't turn off completely and thus my battery drains needlessly. Anything else we should check or look into?

I thought I had the same problem but after testing it I found out that it just takes pretty long to go completely off ?

Granted, it's possible I'm just doing it wrong, but I can't seem to get it to kick in.
I have it set to go on when it's on charge, and it should display the lock screen DashClock Widget stuff. If I do the 'try now' option it shows up fine, but not when it's supposed to when it's charging.
Any ideas why? Is my display timeout breaking it, or my 'screen never goes off if charging perhaps.
Yeah, I've been having the same problem. Got it set to open Timely (in Night Mode) when on charge, but it never does.

I found the problem, its in USB Debug, 'never sleep when charging' turn that off, and it works
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.

Is there any way to quickly set the phone to do not disturb, switch the wake up gesture to off? I like the sleep tracking feature of the watch, but I hate getting alerts in the middle of the night, or when my watch keeps waking up. It would be nice to have a single switch or those controls on one screen to put the watch in sleep mode basically.
I use quiet hours... Don't know if such app exists ...

There is an app in the Galaxy Apps called Theater Mode. it is a widget. one tap and the screen goes very dim and is muted. it cannot turn off the AOD (Gear won't allow it). You can also set a schedule for Do Not Disturb (settings > device > do not disturb) so it turns on/off automatically on your schedule...
Can't you swipe down from the top and hit do not disturb?

yes, you can. and you can also set it to a schedule so you don't even have to swipe down and select it twice a day...

go to settings > device > do not disturb; from there select "turn on as scheduled" and then go down to "days" "start time" and "end time" to set your schedule.
wasn't aware of scheduling feature, so i'll look at that. The other issue with sleeping with the watch on is the screen lighting up. I have to also go in and turn off the auto wake up gesture, but even that doesn't prevent the bezel from turning and lighting up the screen.
So I can manually mitigate most of these issues, but it's several manual steps every night, then again every morning. Just seems like a small fix that could make it a much more convenient thing to use.
Silly but useful solution: I wear a wrist sweatband over it at night. I don't even notice it and it saves me an elbow jab from my wife in the middle of the night.

I use the Theater mode app (very dim screen) and turn AOD off... if the screen does happen to come on during the night due to bezel movement, it is not even noticable (at least for my wife and me!)
Theater Mode is great but does that also Mute the S3? If so it is not a solution for people, like me, that use the watch as an alarm clock.
Every time I look at the Battery usage details, it shows that WiFi is always on, even if I manually turn it and WiFi+ off. It didn't used to be like this: I don't know if it changed during the last firmware update, or if something else changed it. I'm on L29C567B183. Anyone else seeing this?
Try advance settings - location - the three dots in the right corner
Turn off WiFi scan

I'm facing the same issue, whatsapp draining my battery in a few hours at night
Hi
Pretty sure the AI is powering off my phone when it sits in idle for more than 3hrs... ...which is super odd..
Only happens in the evenings though... super strange...anyone else having an issue like this? If i turn on Airplane mode it does not happen
The only time I can go without using my phone for three hours is during sleep time. When I wake up the next morning my phone is still on. How's the battery life when you turn it back on?
Seems like you have scheduled/off feature turned on. Go to Settings> More Settings > Task Timer> Scheduled On/Off and check if you have anything active there.
