I have to say I'm pretty shocked that OnePlus hasn't added AOD always on display to their phones yet it's been a stock Android thing for a couple good years already.
What's the deal?

.it's on havoc im using it
One thing I like about this 7 Pro is you can enable the setting to show your lock screen when you slightly lift up your phone. Saves just that bit of extra battery life. I never liked AOD on my Samsung devices. But at least with the new One UI on those phones you can choose to have it turn on only when you tap on the display.
Hopefully we can get a mod for this. The op6t has it.
For now I just use the Screensaver...
Any news about Always on display?
Kinda annoyed with picking up my phone 1000 times / day to check for new notifications.

Use pixel pulse apk for the time being
For AOD you can use custom ROMs, although I don't know if AOD doesn't turn off pixels except the ones that shows information or else expect huge battery drain.

Will believe it when I see it. Has been requested over and over for some time now, even more so since it was there briefly on the OP6 before being removed. It should not be hard and the OP devs are clearly very capable I think they do not really want to provide this feature for some reason and that we will get some battery related waffle as justification for it not being added.
I sold my OP7 pro and will not buy another OP device until they provide this feature. It is an important feature for me and too many other manufacturers provide it now so there is no need to miss out on it.
YMMV

Not a weird thing to get upset about at all. Either AOD or a notification light should be "there". Light can be put anywhere, even in a button. Now I have an app running to light up now and then. Notify Buddy consumes way too much battery which isn't an option either. I upgraded from OP5 to OP7pro, but honestly, I still am wondering why I paid all that money. The OP5 was and still is a smooth as butter fine device. GF has it now.

Exactly. I don't understand why they are talking about it drains battery. Yeah it does, but those who want it might not care. It's not exactly hard to implement AOD. Not offering no notification light and no AOD is just stupid. They been stating they are working on it for at least a year? That can't be true .
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The weird part is them selling their OP7 Pro for not having a feature that they knew wasn't on it when they bought it. Not sure why you'd purchase a phone that didn't have a feature you clearly would sell a phone for not having.

Not sure that is what you really meant but let's move on. I am prone to impulse buys (don't judge me) which is what the OP7 was and with OP saying they were working on an AOD I kind of hoped it would come (as it finally did from Huawei) but now I honestly do not think it is.
My point is that a functioning AOD that does not kill your battery does not seem to be that difficult, most other manufactures offer it now and LG even managed it on an LCD. I'm guessing and reading between the lines but I think that they have no intention of adding it but cannot imagine why? as I said the OP devs are clearly very capable so I'm sure they could have done it by now if asked.
As far as I know AOD consumes a few percent more per hour, maybe 3%. I don't know if that has gotten better in the last years. Still I don't understand why they don't offer the option to trade AOD for battery life. I guess the impact on battery in their testing must have been so high that it would've been a shame to release it. I guess it's kind of a "do it right or leave it" attempt they are following.
Also it could be together with the absence of the pocket mode. I guess since they don't have a normal proximity sensor that could be what stops them from adding it because if they did, they can't disable it when the phone is in the pocket.
They could still add it regardless of draining some battery. Could always add an option to turn it off like Samsung. I use an app called Always on Amoled. It's pretty similar to an actual aod. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson

As the title says, am asking if anyone knows for sure if the oneplus6 have an always on display (like pixel 2 or Samsung or most of the new phones).. I know it has the ambition notification display but am asking about the always on.. Thanks.
Yes, the 5T had it, so I don't see any reason, why the OP6 shouldn't have it. I have also seen some "first impressions" videos on YT and it has the AOD.

The 5T has an ambiant display, it's not an AOD. I have ordered the oneplus 6 and it should arrive early next week, I will update you then but I'm pretty sure it will have an ambiant display.

Exactly.. I wanted to response to the first post, but i thought i was wrong, Given that i searched around every where on oneplus forums.. Some tend to mix between ambient notifications and always on display..
I will be looking forward for the right answer..
Flossy Carter said it’s ambient like the 5T. I’m pretty sure this is correct through I only owned a 5 (which wasn’t a AOD).

I find this very strange from oneplus, why didn't they activate this feature yet, even LCD screens phones has these always on display..

I hope. it has aod. really miss aod from Samsung. my 5t red is great but I'm not happy without aod lol.... is it a software thing? so someone can make it? I've tried a few apps for it actually and they are all so buggy...
AOD is in works and will come to 6/5T/5 in the coming updates.

No, AOD is not a software-only thing if efficiency is desired (no matter if using OLED or not). You can do it in software, but it will be as efficient as those Play Store apps, meaning it will ruin your battery. Samsung and LG have specially designed hardware for AOD, with LG also having a separate backlight control for AOD-only (only part of the LCD backlight is on with AOD on - but of course Samsung doesn't have this issue on OLED). But even for OLED, a special display driver chip which supports slow refresh rates and additional memory needs to be used in order for AOD to be efficient, and Samsung has worked hard to optimize theirs (I have an Galaxy A3 2017 and there is little difference with AOD on or off - there is more with my S7 Edge but still pretty efficient).
The Oppo R15 and R15 Pro have AOD (but quite inefficient), and the display hardware is very similar to OP6 from what I know, so there is some hope.
However, I find the notification LED to be much more useful than AOD because you can see it from a distance and if you use an app like Light Flow, you can pulse it or color it differently for different notifications and you will basically "learn" very fast to interpret it - with much less power draw.
I got the phone yesterday and it had and and was working fine. Got a ota and aod is gone. Why. I liked it so much

A quick answer. With Ambient notifications, the screen light up when a notification arrives?
Thanks and grretings from Spain.

Yes with ambient display it would light up when a notification comes and with AOD the screen would show the notification preview and then show the app icon as pending notification as the screen is always on.
It creates a much better amoled experience as the whole screen is dark and only the notification and the notification icon along with the clock you select pops up.
There are some speculations of a burn in so that's why the team is working and testing it in detail till its made available in public.

Actually yes and no. Burn in are hardware defects caused in oled panel by showing constantly same image in same place. But function to move image by 1-2-5pixels per given time is sooo easy to program that I can't see any reason they wouldn't implement it, than maybe from marketing point they will want it to ship with 6T, alongside wireless charging and maybe second camera that actually does something that is what I would guess.
Got my OnePlus 6 today from Amazon.de. On the first Start i had the Always On Display with exactly the same Samsung Galaxy Functions. The first OTA Update removed this Function now, really disappointed! Im a Big fan of Always on Display, i hope it will come back

Greetings from Spain.
I have updated directly my OnePlus 6 after powered on it, so I can't say if it the latest OTA or not, but for now I can't find an Always-On-Display option in my settings!

Be careful. Users in HTCManía forum in Spain, reported that if you have enabled Battery Saver Option, Ambient Nofitications don't work.
Greetings from Spain.
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

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.

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?

Is anyone actually interested with the popup camera?
Would be a sturdy one so i don't mind it. There might be a fraction of a second delay on the Face Unlock though.
With the immersive display experience the popup will be totally worth it :good:
I am looking forward to it. Something new and different. Im not worried as many are about the durability or life. I see no reason why it wouldn't hold up for a few years even though it will only have to last me a year. Never

i agree
people are forgetting that others will be using the phone for a while, and then re-sell
say 3 years down the track, and 4 owners later the camera stops working - and the user is non-tech savvy, thats negative branding right there, people wont know why its not working, they will just know that it stopped and blame the OEM.

Agree. I use a front facing camera two or three times a year. A notchless screen would be appreciated every day.
Notch sux! Also, Rarely use front camera...
Not sure about the popup camera, I don't like the idea of having to use that kind of garbage to avail of face unlock. I'm quite considering buying the pro version if it has 12gb ram 256 rom 3.5mm jack, notch or no notch doesn't matter to me.

12GB Ram is actually overkill, most users wouldn't exceed 4Gb of Usage and well the 3.5mm jack could be a reason!
I don't think there is any pop up camera in OP7. The OP 7 Pro has pop up camera that is confirmed.

Yes the renders only point at the OP7 pro having a pop up camera
I had the Vivo Nex S and the pop-up camera is pretty sturdy. Looking fwd to the 7 Pro.
I use the selfie cam maybe once or twice a year so yep, i'd be perfectly happy with it.

What is the point of 12GB/ram when Oneplus limits the crap out of apps able to run in the background?

kind of upsetting that the 7 pro has UFS 3.0 and the standard 7 doesnt.
i really liked the design of the 6T - the pop up camera looks gimmicky.

Vanilla OP7 is supposed to have UFS 3.0 as well.

oh
last time i read i thought it was only the 7pro that had it
nontheless, the op7pro screen is better, and IIRC the standard 7 doesnt have a 90hz screen.
still though, UFS was one of the main reasons for getting the 7pro and not the 7, i may look into the differences alittle more now.
Seeing the Launch Video, I'm a little less doubtful about the Pop up camera, it's seems durable !
Does One Plus 7 Pro has Notification Led unlike One plus 6T ? Thanks
It have glowing edges!!
Looks this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=79526056
But does it stay on indefinitely? No good if it only flashes the edge once while I'm out of the room.
I hope it doubles as a strobe light...
I think it works like Samsung edge lighting... only goes through 1 cycle which is only for a few seconds. Same issue I have with the s10+ at the moment.

This is definitely true
I don't get it. Never Settle pushing out new hardware better this better that. But can't address this simple issue with notifications on screen. It seems like OnePlus is a name that has a big brand master that is playing deaf not hearing this. I don't give a rat's ass about 7/7pro till " never settle" will address simple issues with previous models.
Maybe support this brilliant developer and put LED light notification problem behind.
Look for AOE- Always On Edge

Not sure if you have been reading the thread or watch the launch event. A main point addressed has been the no Led notifications. There is a blue edge now for notifications.
Yes I've seen it. Someone was asking about duration of notifications and way to dismiss it. Happened to be AOE let you customize all that. I own 6T and with out help from outside developers OnePlus did nothing to fix it. Most of solutions I found out there are good projects but need some more work to make it flow less and that where oneplus should have step in. But apparently OnePlus don't care about 6/6T users. I know OnePlus got it in books already so who cares! Right ?
Does it have "always on display"?
Does it have dual frequency GPS?
Thanks

Watching the launch event, while it doesn't have AOD, there will be a blue lite border or line for notifications.
It does support it as they claimed below 1m location accuracy (or I read it in one of the reviews, not 100% sure)
No AOD? Why? Deal breaker for me.
Seems like XDA review confirms dual gps

Same here, never going to buy a phone without one. There is no need to with so many now having this feature.

Oh boys... Why complaining abt aod? Ok fine i was kinda on the same boat when comin from pixel to op, but once i tried ambient... Not looking back..

Agreed, ambient is 1000% better than aod.
AOD is DOA! ?

What are you guys smoking? It's not even a competition? Ambient is worse in every possible way. It is like an AOD but you have to interact with it before it shows
Jeez, this is some serious fanboy****. The Ambient display is just a cheap attempt to mimic an AOD without having to go through the technical barriers to create one.

It may be for you but it’s not for me. Most other OEMs offer one now so there is no need for me to consider OnePlus unless it really is not important to you. I was hoping they had added it back in (it was briefly available on the OP6)
I sometimes think the people defending its omission are OP sleepers. Honestly I get that for some people it is no big deal and I respect that but there are people like me who genuinely like and want an AOD.
I like OP phones and would actually like to try the 7 pro but in wireless charging and the AOD they have omitted 2 features that are important to me, could accept no wireless charging only but not both.

Thanks to this thread I just cancelled my reservation on local reseller... Thanks guys. I can't belive, there is no AOD.
You all know you are complaining about a feature that doesn't come standard on XDA right? 100% sure a developer will have it in due time. Even sure an app will show up as well. Even had it on the 6T, personally I found it highly annoying.

here is info from gsmarene
GPSYes, with dual-band A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, SBAS
....nowadays, OLED screen = AOD support by hardware...
dont worry, guys
Not true. Or else you could use it on a galaxy s6, s5 etc. I haven't heard of a software only solution that is working as good as the the AOD from Samsung, Huawei etc. The display has to support it probably as well. Like a low refresh / low power mode. Whatever it is, they might have it as the display was made by Samsung. But maybe not, because 1+ didn't care.
My p20 pro has it always on and it barely consumes any battery juice. The magisk module for the 6t (which hasn't been updated in a long long time) ate nearly 15% in only 3 hours.
I never understood the ambient display. Might as well use the lockscreen, which has even more information available. And accessing the lockscreen by a "tap-to-wake" option was even on the LG g2. Nothing special, nothing outstanding about the ambient display. The whole point of the AOD is that you don't have to touch the phone to get all the info you need. Clock, missed calls or messages. Without having a disadvantage.
To me it looks like they couldn't get it done. They also canceled it for the op6, because their solution consumed way too much battery.
I know that it is not important to anyone here. But I would have loved to have one.

What you described is exactly what I want. I only want it to turn on the screen if a notification comes through, or if I pick up the phone. I don't need the screen on if the phone is just sitting there, what a waste of battery.

Gotcha. I run pixel rom on my 6t which has both AOD and ambient, prefer ambient personally but it's all subjective. Not having wireless charging is kind of a bummer I guess, I've never used it (well tried it on the LG G6 and it was terrible, guessing it's better now), but in the future when we see cars coming standard with wireless chargin mats in cubbies it would definitely be cool imho.

I don't understand why they don't put it,
I don't understand one plus, they want to challenge Samsung, pixel line etc with no ip certification, no AOD, no wireless charge, speed it's not all. I'm a note user I can stop use the style but I can't go back on others things like those.
So they'll never have Samsung or pixel users without that.
700 bucks to a one plus phone it's a lot.

Totally agree with this, ambient is just pointless, if I pick my phone up I want the full lock screen.
