How many notification icons can the outside screen show at once? Can you customize that screen in any way?

4 notifications at once, basically you get a orange dot next to the time when you get a notification. You then swipe right and the icons appear. You click on an icon and it gives you a small preview of what it is then you can click again and open the phone and it will go directly to that app. Example is an email where it shows the Gmail icon, with a click it will show who its from and the subject then with another click and open of the phone it goes straight to that email.
One small improvement here would be of the outside screen was always on which it is sadly not. There are no customisations unfortunately.
can you answer a phone call with the phone closed? i mean talking?

Yes you can! Answer via the little screen and you can take the call hands free.

Yes I wish we could have an always on option. Using it i realized even preview time is short it just suddenly goes off this mini display. Hopefully someone makes an app or samsung enables always on for the outside display.

Agreed, I have had all 4 generations of Pixel and will be hard not to have the always on display. Would have minimal batter impact being so small, too.

battery life? how many hours of screen could you get with it? i am very interested in it. but my only dude it is the battery life
Any idea whether Light Manager, Holey or other similar app would be able to force an always-on indicator on the cover screen?

I've not had chance to do as full battery drain check yet but anecdotally it seems ok. Battery stats tell me that the other day i took it off charge at 1am and by 4pm it was down to 40% with about 3 hours screen on time.

Hi guys!
I have quite a serious question for you )) Please remember, I can not sleep until you give me the right answer.
So, if u take ur Desire S (or I believe any other HTC android phone) and go to Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery use, then u will be able to see a graph just at the top of the screen (and a title "(xx)h (yy)m (zz)s on battery" over the graph). I guess you all going to cry when you see this menu, because it's only few per cent battery remaining although u unplug the charger just twelve hours before. OK, sorry for flood. My question: there is a tiny blue stripe under the graph. Sometimes it interrupts. What does this stripe indicate?
PS. You know, many people complain to battery drain. And battery seems to drain faster just at the moments indicated by this stripe. Does anybody notice smth like this?

Without checking as phone isn't to hand at the moment, I believe that this is when the Screen is ON, considering that the Screen/Display is always the main user of phone battery, it's no surprise that the graph dips when this bar occurs.
Hope that you can sleep soundly now.
Mmm... ben_pyett, are u completely sure it's Screen_ON indicator? Unfortunately I don't know how to make a screenshot as I'm using stock ROM now, but believe me I saw blue stripe on my Desire S and it lasts for at least 5 hours. Then it interrupts and begins and interrupts again and so on. And I'm completely sure that the screen was not ON all this 5 hours.
PS. Stil not sleeping.
If you tap on the map it enlarges it to full screen with a breakdown of what the blue bar means
Wow!! det66, man, you're magician! How did u find it out?
Thanks anyway. In my case "awake" mode seems to drain the battery.
PS. Go to bad with a great pleasure ))

That's the way I was reading it, but also Awake and Screen on are there but more broken up obviously
nearly was late for work because my phone died and i was using it as an alarm. what could have drained 50% battery in 6 hours and not show? wifi was off
while the graph is nice, better battery stats is what we need.

what you didnt post is the page with what was using your battery by %. now how are we supposed to tell you what happened and what used your battery? this thread is pointless because you gave us no usable information. what i got from the info that you did post is that a UFO flew by you and drained your battery of its power. and the thing is, my guess will be just as good as any other guess.

stock alarm app, no. but you do have a lot of wakelocks. when the screen is shown off, your device should be asleep. your device shows a lot of activity when your screens off(ironically, not when the supposed battery drain happened though, so i cant say thats why it drained).
Do you have the horrid camera bug?
Do you use exchange at all? I've had a lot of phones (android mostly htc and iphones) hit bugs from exchange in push mode and burn through their battery really quickly constantly trying to sync and hitting an error.
I charge mine on my dresser next to my head, and also use it as an alarm, I'd recommend charging it over night

I'm guessing this http://www.androidcentral.com/googl...cpu-usage-bug-fix-coming-next-android-release
I found it by googling "Nexus 5 horrid camera bug" lol, first link
Stock apps have no such issue as till date.Except for apps that use internet /wifi consume a lot of battery. So switch of those frst or keep ur cell on flight mode. The battery consumption may be due to gplay service, account sync,gmaps etc. I don't own a nexus device but I have experienced this kind of behaviour with my phone sometimes with a hot back cover sometimes.Try using apps like greenify to control this prob(or switch of ur network @ night/use lower cpu values + governers like powersave/conservative)
I have a SM-N915K with OEM flip case. Battery life is incredibly low due to "Cocktailbar service" service eating 30-70% of the battery. The service listens to sensors and rotates the content of the edge screen probably. Anyone has the same problem? The problem can be related to the flip case use.
Cocktailbar Note Edge
I have the same issue... I figured it had something to do with the edge display but didn't tie it to the case... I'm going G to replace the back with the original battery door and see if that make difference. I'll post results tomorrow.
I use the flip case when I'm out but when I'm at home I use the regular back. The cocktailbarservice seems to be succking the life out of my battery. Went to bed at 95% and woke up at 68% while the phone sat idle. It is now 9:42 am and I have used the phone very little. I am at 37%. I love this phone but at this rate I can't even use it so I might have to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm lucky and have access to power supply most the time but this is ridiculous.
I did stop using the case for the weekend and the battery life on my phone has almost trippled! I took it off charge around 8 pm last night. Played with it intermittently until 2:30 am. Got up this morning around 9 am and still had 88% battery. Have been using it almost nonstop between calls, Internet and texts and am just now at 20%. 18.5 hours off the charger and only 6.5 of those were sleep time. If I can have this kind of battery on most days I will be happy. I am not running powersave during any of that time either. And since taking off the case, cocktailbarservice is not draining the battery. Unfortunately I have to have it in a case when in my purse, and I have two of them so I will be using the case most business days. Does anyone think it will mess up my battery to have it drain so much when using the case and then slow down drainage when I take the case off? I don't want to ruin my battery.
it was the Case
Yeah I had the same results. It definitely was the case for me too.... I have to wait till the come out with a holster or something cause I hate walking around with a naked phone.... Especially one that's $1k.....
Turning off the 'Style clock on edge screen' or limiting its duration (Edge screen > Information stream > 15 seconds) has helped my battery life. I don't think the issue is the flip case as much as it is the graphics that play on the edge screen every time the flip case is closed.

that cause this drain. Also when i check the battery setting it shows com.android.keyguardcom.sec.android sviewcover taking up 33% ??? Its a flip case not a sview case. Can someone please advice thanks

I bought a black one here (US) at the T-Mobile store but I bought a white one for the same $38 with free shipping off of EBay. It came from Korea but it is an OEM case. This is a different seller but you could check out this link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381075447098?redirect=mobile
guys I have question
On your OEM flip cover, when you enable the style clock does it show the right time when the phone time settings is set at AM/PM mode?
On my style clock the minutes hand shows correctly but the hour hand shows "0". I have tired all the style clock themes and all show this but when i change my phone's time settings to 24 hour clock it displays correctly...!!
Any help with this will be highly appricated
I never had this problem once I fix the cover and set the app it automatically set the right time...

I have installed the case reboot the phone as well and for some reason the style clock hour hand shows "0" while the minutes hand is correct...
Is there some defect in my case maybe?? i dont think so since all other elements like screen auto off and the incoming call coming on the edge is all well ...

Do you mean on the edge panel? If it is 6:15 it will show 06:15. Does yours show 00:15? If so I would say the phone has a defect or maybe needs to be factory reset. Sorry if I am not understanding you correctly. Mine works as it should.

If that doesn't work you could try to exchange the phone. That seems to be a phone issue not related to the case.
Is it possible to make the watch go to watch mode (only shows time and steps) automatically when the battery for example is about 10-15% to stop the battery from dying. I know that it goes in some sort of battery save mode when it's only 15% left, but that is only that it turns of the alway on display and something more.
It would be nice if it was possible, because some days the watch consumes more battery and it could be many hours left of the day and your long way from a charger...

is it always a digital watch face or is it possible to change the watchface of watch mode?
Once I was able to change the analogue clock of watch mode, but the official can not be done.
As far as I remember, I have uploaded another kernel...
hello
I also would like to know, how to change the watchface of the watch mode (option) on the HW2. -> the face looks quite big and bright....I suppose make it smaller and dimmed (without step option) it will even hold longer...
Are there any options or idea how it would be possible?
Hello everyone, it's days that I try, in vain, to activate battery percentage display. In menù settings and in particular in the "status bar" section, I can not find any option to do this.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.

Hopefully this will be like the OnePlus 5 after launch. There was like 2 or 3 updates in the first 10 days or something. Bug fixes and feature add-ins
I'm using the Xposed module GravityBox to get the percentage.
Use accubattery and you will get battery percentage on left side
OP should switch to circle battery icon. Best of both worlds not much space taken up while still actually being useful by showing the percentage in the center of the circle. Probably will never happen.

You can install this app

It can add batter percentage and also adds a a bar you can then in the phone setting hide the battery icon if you just want the percentage.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this as it makes the damn number so small you can't read if it's a 6 or an 8 or even a 9 sometimes. The standard 100% with the symbol is needed for certain. They can still add in the percentage in the whatever icon for the ones that like it but the standard number with the % is a must I feel.
I usually have the percentagem with no icon, that's perfect for me. It doesn't had any more space and it was already in Oxygen OS, not sure why they removed it.
Lets see what they do on the next update.
battery percentage is way more important that icon,
also they can easily can add slim icon to save some space.
