Always on Ambient Display - battery/burn in? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello guys, some questions
Does always on drain so much battery during the day? We talk about how much percentage/day?
Also, does it increases the risk of burn in the display by letting it be active? Thank you so much

I just ordered my 4th replacement phone due to burn in issues.
Battery is great on all of them
Burn in is less with the Nov update but was still noticable after about 7 days

They only time I'd worry want it is when charging overnight but just in case I've enabled the screensaver option to turn on when charging. Now the clock will move around when it's charging.

I have enabled screensaver to turn on when charging but it doesn't seem to be working. Still looks like the regular Always on Display.
I don't think in all my years with Android have I ever seen screensaver working.

Make sure you not only enable it but select when it comes on. Default is "when docked". You need to change it to "when charging"

i know im way late but you also cant have the "screen will not sleep when charging" option set in the developer options

I don't really use always on display but it does require the screen to constantly be using power so yes, it would take more battery.
Yes, it does increase the risk of burn in. The clock does move around slightly but not enough to prevent some pixel from staying on constantly.

Wow 4 replacements due to burn in and only after 7 days? Is it the clock of the always on display that is burning in? Pretty crazy if it is. I've had my Pixel 2 XL for almost 4 months and not even the slightest trace of burn in. I do see some image retention once in a while but it's usually gone after 2-3 seconds and never lasts more than 10 seconds.

I am having an old panel (sep manufacturing date) that should be prone to burn-in. No signs of burn in until now! *knocks on wood*

Hi
Anyone keep always on display off due to potential burn in?
I prefer always off, but the terrible implementation of double tap to wake forces me to keep it on.

No... I love it and the now playing music as well. The only issue I have is the AOD is too dim in a pitch black dark room. All other light levels it works fine. :good:
Does it move around like the Samsung phones or will it just burn in?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I don't use it but the AOD moves around, it doesn't stay stationary so it shouldn't cause burn in.
It does not move around on this phone.
Stays same place.
Never seen it move.

It moves a few pixels every minute. Watch it when the time changes. It's not much but it does move
Agree, it moves fractionally...
Always on is annoying to me I keep mine set to Lift to Check phone

Yeah, it doesn't move nearly enough to alleviate my concern of burn-in. Especially with this screen. On the S8 it would move all over the place, even down to the bottom of the screen. Now, that's how you prevent burn-in. Just moving it back and forth between a few small pixel variations is not going to properly prevent burn-in.
For this reason, I have always on display turned off. Not worth the risk to me.

I don't see how that helps. Burn in is caused by uneven pixel aging. If it's only moving a few pixels back and forth then it's really still the same part of the screen that is having the pixels age more than the rest of the screen.
Always on is always on here, no burn in so far. Works brilliantly.

One question about the Always On Display (I don't want to open a new thread for this) - is there a way to have the "Lockscreen"/Always-On-Display rotate to landscape mode?
When I am having my Pixel 2 XL on the magnet mount in my car in landscape mode, it would be great that the AoD also rotates...haven't come up with an idea yet, unfortunately.

I didn't say it helps I was just saying it does move to the post I quoted. That said I've had my phone since 10/19 with AOD on ever since and have no burn in.

Ok, my misunderstanding.
I got my phone on 10/24 and so far I have left AOD off. I have "Double-tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" turned on.
I have kept AOD off for 2 reason:
1. The fear of burn in. You may not have seen it but it does seem to me to be the most likely thing on the phone to cause burn-in since those pixels would always be on. Between 10 and 12 (am and pm) you would have the 1 digit always on and whatever shift occurs isn't noticeable so it's likely just than the width of pixels of the 1 digit. So you would effectively have pixels literally active 24 hours a day. That kind of worries me so I leave it off just as a precaution.
2. Impact on battery life. Having AOD on results in having to render, refresh and illuminate pixels 24 hours a day. Even with the great battery life I could still see the battery life being noticeably decreased.
I really wish there was more customization options, or at least the battery status displayed for AOD.

Fair enough. I tried turning it off last night and by this morning I turned it back on. Just getting ready for work this morning I missed not being able to glance over at the time as well as seeing it in my car on the dock. If there was a way to turn it on schedule or something that'd be nice. Maybe tasker could do it somehow..

If you use Accubattery, it displays the charge level on AOD with a circle around it. After the N6P I was paranoid about the battery so installed AB to confirm my battery was solid. (106% capacity). It may be a workaround until some dev comes along and provides that without having to install an app. Also THIS ARTICLE in XDA gives some hope. See the last paragraph on "other applications". :good:
I have a question on AOD. If you are listening to Google Play Music, does it show what song you are listening to? Or do you have to go to the actual lockscreen to see that? Thanks.

Battery discharge overnight

Is it normal that overnight phone discharges with a rate of 1% per hour?

That's what I'm seeing with AOD on. With it off (phone face down) it is less than half that (~0.4-0.5). Stock, rooted, ex kernel. Hoping we get some controls soon on AOD, namely disable while in DND mode.
DND?

Do Not Disturb
AOD is indeed the culprit!!!
Is there a way, a sort of profile app, that can control DND and AOD at the same time?

I don't use Tasker, but some users have a profile I'm sure they would be willing to share. Personally, I don't charge overnight anymore so I just leave it face down at night. Works for me.

If you have the AutoTools plugin alongside Tasker you can pretty easily set AOD to off based on whatever context you like.
For myself, I have a profile that turns AOD off whenever do not disturb is on, and I have another profile that enables do not disturb automatically overnight. So once that profile fires, the AOD one fires right after.
Even with it off though, I still go from 100 to about ~80-82 overnight (8 hours). I uninstalled Amplify and ForceDoze, thinking those two apps were conflicting, and in result becoming counter-productive. However, it only seemed to help by 1-2%
Edit: this is for the user I quoted if that changes your mind about using Tasker and also for OP if they believe AOD is the culprit

Wow. That's pretty heavy idle drain man. I get 0.6%/hr max with AOD off, and 1% with it on 24/7. I don't need/want to use tasker and flipping the phone over works for me. Really, even a few percent overnight doesn't bother me. A few minutes on any charger and it's right back up there. This phone has the best battery life I've experienced. I just think a feature like AOD off with DND is a no-brainer. Apparently not at Google (yet).

Yeah, my SOT is great, between 6-8 hours but idle drain sucks for some reason. I just wish it was better because I usually leave my charger downstairs and have nothing to charge with in my bedroom. So waking up with nearly 10% gone is unfortunate. I really don't want to invest in another charger but I may have to ?

C'mon man, any old 2.1A charger will do overnight. I do NOT sleep with my phone, lol! Its hard enough to sleep through the night w/o ANY phone noises/vibrations. No phones in the bedroom and everyone is on DND is the rule en mi casa. YMMV, amigo.

Flipping the phone over has no impact on battery life. That's just strange to even suggest that.
Also, as much as I like my Pixel 2 XL the charging speed from 90% to 100% is REALLY slow so "a few minutes on any charger and it's right back up there" isn't very accurate. If you plug in the Pixel 2 XL to the stock charger at 85% it's like an hour before it's 100%.
I could see AOD off with DND as being a nice option but only if it is an option. AOD should not have to be off just because DND is on.

Wut? You're confused. Flipping the phone over kills AOD because the proximity sensor working properly thinks the phone is in your pocket. Apparently you haven't tested this like I have every night for weeks.

OK.. Sorry, I'm drinking Tequila again. Apologies. But YES, my AOD turns off when I flip the phone. I run EX Kernel and can quantify the idle drain difference (battery monitor) by flipping the phone over for several weeks. Idle drain drops from 1.0-1.1% down to 0.5-0.6% by just flipping the phone. Check it, and don't bring charging rates into a discharge thread, cabron.

Well then I guess my phone has a defect because covering the proximity sensor does not turn off the AOD. The proximity sensor does work just fine on calls.
I don't really care too much because I don't usually use AOD due to fear of burn in since that more than anything else is what would be most likely to cause burn in. Although if I get my phone replaced under warranty so that covering the proximity sensor does turn off AOD then maybe it might not as much of an issue. At the same time that would likely result in me leaving the phone upside down when it's not in my pocket to prevent burn in which really defeats the purpose of the AOD. I'll probably just live with the defect since it won't really matter anyways.
As far as the charging speed I was directly addressing a comment that had been made that was untrue so while that might not be there topic of this thread it was relevant to the discussion.

Actually, the clock moves slightly each minute to prevent burn-in. That shouldn't be a problem with AOD on this device.

You need to cover the sensor for like 5 or more seconds. It is not instant. Have you tested that? Keep it covered and it should turn off.

LG G7 has also a LCD display, but it has AOD. So has nothing to do with LCD
Car can also sail,it doesnt mean it's a smart idea.
Same for LCD screens and AOD.(aka keeping my screen turned on all the time draining battery like there's no tomorrow,had it on G6 with 2h of sot lol...opposing to AMOLED screens which have only few pixels turned on for AOD purposes while others are shut off thus giving almost the same battery life with AOD as without )

AOD is meant for people that put it on a stand or a wireless charger stand, as I do. It has nothing to do with LCD or Amoled, it is a choice :good:
No it isn't. Fact that only two LG's lowest selling phones are using it in history of lcd screens shows its a stupid choice.
And no it is not ment as a night stand **** it's ment as a permanent and advanced substitution of notification led.
99% of ppl don't use stands of any kinds and look for notifications while phone is off the charger/stand etc.
99%? Give me a link where you got this information, you made me curious
It was a figurative expression,can u give me link that AOD is meant just for stands or a wireless chargers? You made me curious.

It's not always on. If you cover the proximity sensor it turns off the always on display. So if in your pocket or face down (which I do to stop watching the time go slow) it will not burn in.
Also Google move the display so it's not constantly displaying is the exact same position all them time, see https://9to5google.com/2017/10/17/google-pixel-2-oled-burn-in-protection/

Yeah it's not as dramatic a shifting as Samsung does it but it does the job. Have had my phone since the month it was released but no AOD display burn in. The bottom though, does have a little but I just recently switched to Fluid Navigation so maybe it'll alleviate some of it

Note 10 screen off battery level no way to turn off

This is a pain. I have no apps installed. I have always on display turned off but when I charge the phone and the screen is off you get battery level and gone to full on the button. There is no easy to turn this off. I have tried everything. Thus week cash's screen burn in. It never goes off even when battery is full.
I have attached a screen shot. Any ideas? I'd blogging edgar Samsung needs to fix this asap or the phone goes back. S10 didn't do this.
Damn no way to post a screen shot.

I was looking in Samsung members and there's a couple threads about it and somebody from I guess Samsung said to use Good Lock (which doesn't fix the issue currently) but maybe they will update it so it does.
Ccswe pro app. Disable always on display gets rid of the charging status being on all the time when connected to charger/wireless charger.Etc.worked for me.
The text moves like the AOD so whats the prob? No risk of burn in.

yeah this, still don't get why people are worried about burn in from AOD. It moves around quite a bit even the human eye can tell
My main concern is the brightness, it's brighter than the note 9 charging led at night.
A potential fix

I tried really very hard to see the text moving but just couldn't. I personally believe it doesn't.
Even if it does, it covers a very small area, unlike the AOD clock.. Have you seen the green icon at the bottom when the battery
is full? That's going to be the biggest burner of all..
I think we should all call Samsung 10 times bumbarding them with incident tickets on this issue.
A potential fix
After disabling AOD using package disabler, can someone try installing an older AOD version? That version I belive will not have this stupid feature.

It dimmed down after few minutes
The reason it's there is because there is no longer an LED to show charging status. Not saying it's a good idea, just saying why it's there.
I agree with others that there is a concern of burn in. If it just shifts around by a couple pixels, it will still burn in. To prevent burn in. It would need to move around the screen. Like from top to bottom and side to side.
One work around is to take off the charger as soon as it hits 100, but I like to use my phone until I go to bed then put it on the charger. And even then, is an hour a day everyday showing the same constant image enough to cause burn in?

Many thanks for your note, just one small question, Does S10+ have battery charging indicator that stays on all the time when plugged in ? It's that notification at the bottom of the screen that shows even when the AOD is off.
I have read forums that said S10 Did not have it ?
Please reply..
Thanks.

That is correct.
Also if you do not like it, there is an app that can disable it.

You have made my day Sir.. Thank you.. Which app can disable it please?
Just one last question, do you charge your phone overnight ? Mine sits on wireless charging overnight for good 8 hrs everyday and shows the battery full icon also which is green in color. So the indicator stay on the screen for about 7 hrs each day.

I have both phones.
The S10+ does not have the same charger indicator as the Note 10+.
Currently the only way to turn it off is to disable AOD completely with a package disabler, unless something has been found over the past few hours that I'm not aware of.

Could it be that you do not have the latest FW or the AOD version ?
I was looking for it and just saw this video, which does show the charging indicator all the time. See here for S10 SE, would appreciate your comments.
Thanks
