Here's my only problem with this watch : The active display is beautiful, bright, colorful, great to look at. Wish I could look down at my watch and see it everytime but I can't - it flips to AOD display no matter what.
I can live with that, but I'd like to make the 'inactive' display or the 'AOD' display brighter than it is. I have not found any way to do this.
Is there an app or a rooted modification to make this brighter? I don't need the active display on all the time, just want the 'inactive' display to be brighter so I don't have to squint at my watch during the day.
Does anyone have a solution?
Disable the "Low light" auto and AOD stay visible correctly.
I have "Auto low brightness" set to "off" but the AOD brightness still goes down to a level 1 brightness and is very difficult to see. I'd like to see it at a 4-5. Are there no rooted mods or anything that can fix this?
Yes, we must have at least brightness to 4 to see properly AOD. But if "Auto low brightness" is ON even at 6 is it dark with dark light.
I tried setting it to 10 while keeping "auto low brightness" OFF - but the AOD brightness is still too dim. I wish there was a way to change this.
I don't know of any way to do this for native watchfaces. However, Watchmaker allows you to customise the AOD to your specification. I have a Fortis watchface I downloaded and customised that the AOD just hides some complications and is fully visible. Yes, it does drain battery quicker but still lasts the day...
I gave Watchface a try and although you can customize much more, after setting the dimmer brightness to 40% (which was the max) it still looked just as dim, if not more, than the default Galaxy AOD display. I guess I'm the only one with this complaint - I work in a bright environment.
same here.. aod is way too dim. There should be an option to change the brightness of that even if it does use a little more battery.. There seems to be 2 different brightness settings with the aod that automatically adjust between the two but turning off Auto low brightness doesn't seem to make any difference. The point of having aod is so we can use it like a normal watch.. but as it is now it's almost pointless.. hope samsung fixes this in a future update.. but unlikely.. I use watchmaker but can't find the option to adjust the aod.. any ideas???
On my Galaxy Watch 42mm I use AOD Clock, it's an app not a watchface, but stays always on very bright and it seems to be moving slightly (amoled friendly?). But uses a lot of battery.
I'm looking for a screen Lock app that can display the clock at the bottom of the screen.
FWIW I downloaded Lock Screen Clock Mod from Xposed. It works well but whenever there's a new notification it moves the clock as well. So ideally, a lock screen app that also allows me to manage notification behavior would be good
I tried acDisplay but couldn't change the clock location, nor did it have any security features.
Oh...and I'm on Marshmallow. OnePlus X, stock ROM. Rooted.
I like the way the side lights up for notifications that happens when ambient display is turned on however I dont like the text display that occurs on the screen, just looks a little ugly. Is there a way to only have the side light up for notifications?
Hi everyone,
I've recently bought a Oneplus 7 Pro and to my shame I did not read beforehand that it does not have a notification LED.
I've also seen that the pulsating lines on the sides of the screen only appear when Ambient Display is on.
Sadly I am not a fan of Ambient Display and also do not want my phone lighting up each time I get a notification, I prefer it to remain more subtle
Does anyone know if there is any App that would trigger those lines for notifications but without requiring Ambient Display? (maybe running without it as an accessibility service and thus having permissions also on the lockscreen?)
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to have notifications when my screen is off (i miss so much the led i had on my OP6).
I've tried AOD but i don't want to have, all the time, the hour on my phone.
I just want that, when the screen is off and, for example, i have a message, i have a little notification on this screen. Nothing else.
How can i have that please?
Thanks
There are a few apps such as this one that may be what you're looking for:
NotifyBuddy - Notification LED - Apps on Google Play
Missing LED notifications on your phone!? Worry not!
play.google.com
AlwaysOnEdge -Notification LED - Apps on Google Play
Notifications edge lighting, AOD, Animated wallpapers, Charging indicator & more
play.google.com
No affiliation to either app.
Hi,
thanks for the answer, i'm gonna try that even if i'm a little worried about battery drain
I thought this kind of notification was possible with this android stock version i have. I thought i just didn't find the way to configurate it. How is it possible that OP gives us the possibility to have AOD with the clock and notifications but not just the notifications, without the clock... ? :/
In your opinion, what drains less battery? OAD with a minimalist clock or one of those Led app?
