Hello! So, I installed Android 10 and now when i wireless charge my 10+ I always have always on display on the bottom of the screen (% and estimated waiting time to 100%). How do i turn it off? Even if the light is low, I really dont want it to be always displayed during charge (and maybe it could also cause burn in problems, altho i read always on display text isnt always using same pixels, so who knows).
Thanks!
I wouldn't worry about burn in. I use my phone a lot for youtube and waze and both caused serious burn in on my note 8 (max brightness usually), but on my s10 there is zero burn since release with the same usage.
You can however disable it. It's under Display and the option is called Show charging information

I place the Samsung Galaxy S under my pillow and listen to "whiteNoise". That gets me to sleep pretty fast.
The problem is that the battery full indicator switches on the display and leaves it on. (I have the setting activated that while on usb power, leave display on).
This causes the phone to get really hot during the night and I'm scared it might kill it eventually.
So I could toggle the usb option every night, but I really would like that the useless battery full warning could be disabled.
I hoped that Froyo would bring a solution to this problem, but I guess not.
Maybe by posting it here (again?) some bright minds can find the option to disable this warning completely.

Hi somebody knows how to fix burn in on note 8 i have it in the middle of the screen anyone?
I think you need to replace the whole screen. Curious to how long have you had your note8? I've had mine since launch and my screen is still burn free, though I rarely go beyond 75% brightness.
There is no fix for burned screens, but there some precautions to prevent it, resonable brightness level is a very important one

I've had it since launch too
I am surprised some of you are running the screen at 75% brightness. Mine is usually set to 50-60% at all times and it is more than bright enough. This is for general indoor use/night time that is...
In fact, my other phone, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is set to 70% brightness yet is about as bright as my Note 8 at 50% brightness. Fantastic and very bright screen the Note 8 already has...

Where do you derive the brightness percentage figures from?

As burn in would totally do my head in, I've got mine set to around 35-40% and I think that's plenty bright enough. Obviously, if it detects I'm in bright sunlight it gets brighter of its own accord, so the relatively low brightness works well for me, plus it saves a bit of battery too.
I got burn in just the status bar,but without clock and battery and other items,just the bar itself,i use the phone for about six mounths,and i stay over 75% everyday,i work outside ..and only that bar got burn,you need to be careful cuz the note 8 is a beautiful pice.
I just got a replacement for my Note 8 after having terrible burn in using the navigation app. on my motorcycle. I always had my brightness set to auto, but had the nav app display always on. I actually have bad burn in from both the copilot app as well as the Waze app. With the replacement, I will set the app to turn the display off after a few minutes. Kind of sucks, as I used my Note 3 for 3 years and never had this issue. I wonder if reducing the screen resolution would help? I always had it at the highest setting.
Lowering the resolution will in fact make it worse, as it groups pixels to behave as one, better do what you said, lower brightness, shorter times to screen off, etc

I had a similar burn-in issue using Android Auto on my Note 4, so for my Note 8 I use Tasker to dim the screen to around 10% which is just about visible - I can restore normal brightness by using the proximity sensor to toggle it on and off.
After unboxing and charging my new Note 9 I immediately rooted the device and flashed a custom FW.
Can a person on stock ROM please clarify these questions for me:
1) Is it stock behaviour that the fingerprint scanner on the back is always on while the screen is off?
2) Does this feature impact battery life?
3) If it's stock behaviour how do I disable this? I tried changing the secure setting "biometrics_auto_wakeup_enabled" from 1 to 0 without any effect. But maybe there is another switch? I don't know.
Thanks for any help!
1) If I remember right, I have not changed any settings related to the scanner being enabled/disabled while screen is off, i.e. it would be at "default". I haven't even looked for such. For me, it does unlock directly even when display is off. (Edit: fingerprint seems to unlock from any state before homescreen, except in the lockscreen note writing mode.)
2) I haven't measured battery life yet, let alone looked for changing the feature's behavior for another measurement, so I can not really tell. However, standby battery life seems to be ok. I'm using the phone with very varying levels still, so hard to estimate well, but I'd estimate from the early daily %-drops that standby time is at least 4-5 days. So, I guess the feature doesn't drain the battery that much.
Just a small follow-up, as I finally got a decently "normal" (for me) day and a half with the phone, only one short call, text message, maybe 10 gmails received (but mostly read on PC), a bit of "usage" with screen on time probably less than 15 minutes in total.
Seems I could get about 7.5 days of standby time.
Screen settings don't matter much in this scenario (as the display is off most of the time). Other significant settings are: wifi off, BT off, 4G LTE always there, GPS always available, NFC always ready, fingerprint sensor always waiting for finger, the only extra apps that could be battery hogs are Flowdock and Steam apps (both seem to behave nicely, Flowdock was nasty on my previous phone). Using the LED cover. (Quite the "default" setup with a relatively small number of installed apps or changed settings.)
In a way, that result is good. But on the other hand, with similar setup (minus Flowdock and LED cover, fingerprint sensor only works when display on, but add an extra email account on samsung email app with polling checks), my Galaxy S5 was getting about 6-7 days standby time, too, and that with its original battery (and the phone was bought pretty much the day when it came available here). Note 9 having much larger battery, and presumably better SoC (at least they always claim lower battery drain in idle from each CPU after CPU generation), better Android version... kind of "meh" result from Note 9. However, I did tighten some settings on that S5, like reduced email check frequency and such, which I have not looked for on Note 9 yet. And possibly will not look for, that 7+ days is good enough for me.
I have the S10 Exynos version unlocked, since new I noticed a dead pixel, whatever not big deal, never took it to warranty, but a few months ago I dropped my phone with case and everything so the frame wasn´t affected but the screen... the glass didn´t broke but the screen did... Appeared some white lines near the edges, some horizontal and one vertical, and the phone now sometimes the screen turns on, sometimes I have to lock and unlock it several times with the button to get the screen to turn on, green tint or flickering on high brightness, etc... Expected problems on a phone with broken oled screen.
My question here is: Does a broken OLED screen waste more energy?
Since the broken screen incident, my phone heats up more quickly when in use, I run out off battery juice in like 4 hours of normal use, and I know the white lines may consume more energy as they are also on max brightness even when I have my brightness set to 1/4, but that much energy? The lines arent even that big, just in the lower and left edges of the screen.
No settings where changed asside from using the windows phone app sometimes, no new apps, adaptive brightness off and almost always on 1/4 intensity, dark mode enabled, screen resolution set to HD+, battery mode on optimized and adaptive energy saving on, no virus according to mcafee built in, and really no changes aside for the broken screen.
Also any ideas for making my battery last at least half day? Appart from changing the screen and doing a hard reset (I can´t afford the screen repair right now as it is 200 dollars in my country) and the hard reset has already been done a month ago with same results
Hi everyone.
Just wanted the community's opinion on what your thoughts are about the AOD.
How many of you use it regularly? And those that do, what is your preferred setting - Always on (+/- scheduled) or Tap to Show for 10 seconds? What has been your experience with battery life and overall usability? Any tips or tricks? Any downsides?
Those who don't use AOD, could you please post your reasons, along with any experience with battery drain or screen burn in or other issues.
I'd like to use AOD (on the always on setting), but am not very sure what it costs in term of battery or screen life. The former is a non-issue for me personally but if it's going to affect screen life or quality, I may hesitate a little. I tried the tap to wake for 10 seconds thing but it seems to beat the purpose as I can just as easily go to the lockscreen with a double tap and neccessitating user-interaction negates any real benefit of an always-on feature.
My current settings are:
AOD Always on (scheduled from 7am to 10pm)
FIngerprint reader always on (so I can go directly from AOD to Homescreen without having to go through the lockscreen)
Fingerprint icon set to tap-to-show (just as a hint if i ever miss hitting the correct position when trying to unlock)
Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.
I only use AOD via AODNotify...that should have been an option in the poll.
I use a Tasker profile to turn AOD on (always) when a message arrives and revert back to tap to show when message is cleared.
I keep it on all the time, really helpful and doesn't seem to drain too much battery.
Btw does anyone know if it's possible to add weather info to the S21Us AOD?
One of the few things I still miss from my P4XL..
I don't use it drains a lot of battery
I use to always have it active on my 10+ but it got to be annoying. Tap on is fine.
I don't care to be informed every bloody second... that ain't no way to live.

Wasn't even aware something like that existed. Thanks for the heads-up, will check it out.
Poll updated with new option.
I like to keep the setting to always on with fingerprint always enabled showing thumbprint on screen always .
What i have noticed is the aod doesnt turn off when the phone is in pocket or lying upside down.
That would save so much battery.
AOD used to turn off automatically in my s9plus when the phone was in pocket .
May be this feature is disabled due to lack of active proximity sensor

The 10+ has a proximity sensor and AOD always remains on if set to. The face down off be nice.
Maybe it caused issues in the past. Samsung is sort of hit or miss though.
I have yet to use the fingerprint sensor, lol don't even know if it works.
Last thing I want is to get locked out of a device.
As soon as you set an access password this can happen and through no fault of your own. A hardware failure or glitch can trigger it. Had no password been set the setting wouldn't be enforced. I've gotten locked out of a PC bios like that, never again.

Does the fingerprint icon shift around like the clock or battery percentage (it has very little room to move around though)?
I hope it does, otherwise it'll land up causing screen burn if it's in the same position with the same pattern all the time. Have you noticed this?

Probably shifts it over a few pixels but in bright light over time it will cause uneven aging.

I set that sucker to always on all the time and at max brightness to boot. Cannot use a phone without the option.

According to your battery stats, how much drain is attributed to the AOD? Could you post a screenshot at the end of a day please?
I don't know how much drain is attributed to the AOD. As soon as I get the newest Samsung I turn it in and crank it up before I literally do anything else. I keep every setting on ALL the time (Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, etc). The battery gets me through a regular day. I'll try and post a screen shot. Today I took it off the charger 3 hours ago and I haven't stopped using the phone. I'm sitting at 85%.

You monster, you.
My smartwatch (Fit2, cheap) negates the need for AOD.

I have a serious addiction to smart phones, lol. I'm on mine about 12 hours a day. Mostly playing games or surfing the net. Today off my charger for 2.5 hours and I'm at 88% lol.

Cycle the battery between 35-65% if you can (and then raise both those numbers slowly over time) or else you will fry your battery fast.
If you're just going to buy a new phone in 2 years, then, don't bother with what I said.
