[Q] Always on display - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi
I want to ask is it safe to keep the always on display? My main concern is screen burn in. Can anyone provide an insight? I love the always on display but have turned off with the fear of screen burn in.
Thanks

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/

Thanks for the link. It's good to know that pixels move. It feels safe after knowing the display is shifting constantly

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

I've been using AOD since I got my P2XL 16 months ago. I have no screen burn in from it. It's safe to use.

Burn-in: does anyone have it yet? How paranoid should we be?

Has anyone noticed any burn-in problems yet? I've seen reports of the problem for some other watches (LG), but so far nothing specific here for the Huawei.
It's so far so good for me, but I've been extremely nervous about this issue. I avoid faces with things like thick tic marks or logos in ambient mode. I know about Wear's built-in "protection," but I don't have a lot of confidence in it. Am I being unreasonable?

I had the GWR and didn't have any issues with that at all. That said I turn the screen off at night during charging so maybe that helps. I'll keep an eye on the Huawei, but I'm hopeful that it will be fine.

I had the GWR for almost a year too. Always used watchfaces that are 'always on' (so no dimmed mode without background) and always had the charging animation on by night. Never experienced any burn-in.
I just powered mine on for the first time last night. I played with it for a few hours, then put it in the charger for the night and this morning it has burn-in!! How could it happen so fast??

hell no, wtf!!
it is very bad, sorry for that, were you using this watchface long time ago? what is the watch face look like in ambient mode? maybe the watch got really hot, and screen on while charging. i started to worry about the screen quality of this watch.
Edit:
i have seen this is your first day, i think maybe a faulty screen
Yeah, I'm wondering if your watch just froze in full display mode overnight.

That deserves an RMA and you deserve a new replacement watch.
I sometimes get lag on mine, im not sure if it's actual lag or whether im doing something wrong but as someone mentioned if the watch went full brightness and is charging then the heat might have done it?
I returned it yesterday to best buy. Lucky me though. . they had cyber Monday deals and it was on sale for $50 less! !
I noticed that when the minute hands on mine move (ie every minute) that the whole screen kind of does a refresh. I'm using a custom watch face called InstaWeather, and in the settings there's an option to help with screen burn. I wonder if this is it? So every minute, every pixel would have been off/on or on/off?

yes, this is an android wear burn in protection buy moving a few pixels in all directions, works very good if you don't have large objects in the ambient mode, and won't help much if you have.

In my opinion, yes, you are being overly worried. First the technologies itself has improved and we see less burn-in even when we set screens on to test such a thing. Second, the ability to move(write) a watch face or screen is not some huge leap, in fact it's really super easy to add to an OS to simply move the screen pin outs when in any long display mode. Beyond all that, app makers, watch face builders, now have the old data and make sure they write to avoid any long same display visual mode.
Easy to add to an app, when write same display, write 2 pixels, change.
Then after all that we have face on mode and ambient mode, which in my daily use changes my watch face enough that I would never get burn in. Agree that I am a heavy user of the watch, I tend to have to change twice a day. Perhaps someone that used the watch much less would have more of a concern?
I have the same problem

Wrong. You must not understand what screen burn in is. No new technology has come out that will stop screen burn in. The software that moves the pixels over only works if the object is 1 pixel wide other wise it doesn't work screen burn in will still happen. And they do not have it where the same pixels won't be used otherwise in ambient mode it would jump around not wiggle.

Reset the watch. It may not be burn in. I saw a bug like this from using too high Def of an image on a watch face. It got stuck in the cache even after I changed watch faces. I reset the watch and haven't had any issues since

Fare enough, just my opinion, & you have yours. Too bad you had to start by saying wrong.
Samsung has made changes to light output and color to reduce burn in, and we all know there is some type of display movement now to also reduce burn in, so it's odd you claim there has been nothing.
Anywho, I don't get burn in so yea, maybe with your attitude if you do, you deserve it?

I'm not going to start it by saying you're right, am I? Samsung didn't make changes to anything in light output the only thing that's changed is adaptive screen color which is meant to adapt the screen contrast to show what's on screen in the best possible colors. There is no new technology that will stop burn in. You must not have understood me. The image wiggle is a software attempt to stop screen burn in from happening but it won't stop it just slow it down. Screen burn in will continue to be a thing until the panels we use change technology. I didn't say that nothing has been made to prevent it.
And if you sense attitude in a straightforward response that's on you. I'll let karma deal with that comment. I personally don't get screen burn in and I've had a SAMOLED device since the Samsung Epic. I just understand how to prevent it. But just because I've never had it I won't tell people that they're overly concerned about screen burn in.

Always on Ambient Display - battery/burn in?

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

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.

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 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*

always on display

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

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.

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.

Pixel 3 / 3 XL have no notification LEDs.
Notch, glass back, no headphone jack, bigger screen with more pixels but smaller battery and now no notification LED? It looks worse and worse.
I would have said the same thing a few months ago but ever since I turned it off and just used the AOD for notifications I won't miss it.

Ugh. I was hoping they put it under one of the speaker grilles again. So I guess this is the first Google Nexus/Pixel without one? I suppose we should have known this was coming with AOD. I was actually surprised the pixel 2 kept it, and it got the best one IMO since the Nexus One.

I thought I'd find it less useful with AOD display as well, but do not find that the case. Dim monochrome notification icons are definitely not as obvious as a colored notification LED which can be seen with a passing glance.
What would be cool is if a "notification LED" could be implemented into the AOD - i.e. a small clusters of pixels lit up at full brightness with color support. Wonder if that's technically possible.
This was a poor decision on Google's part... I may just keep my pixel XL 2 this time around... the notification LED is tech that does not need to disappear, so much easier to see you have a notification from across the room...
I didn't know my 2XL had one for ages. Why have it off by default?
Also wish it was more aggressive.

They were weening people off the led notification with the P2XL....and promoting the use of the ambient display.
But like some said earlier....ambient display is dim.....there is no better way to glance from afar and know exactly what type notification came thru via the color of the flashing led. That cannot be beaten...I dont need to see and read the notification of the screen....just know I have one and what type it is.
Ambient display is only good for when you in arms reach of the phone to read the screen...at which point you may as well pick it up and look at the phone. It's almost pointless.
Well i guess is a personal thingy, mine is switched off since i got the phone, never use the led, my aod is always on, more than happy with it

It is a preference.....Im just saying hat good is a display if you cant read it. Most people cant read dimly lit text from across a room.
One thing I dont know is....does the text on the AOD shift positions so screen burn in doesn't occur?

I just googled it....the text moves one pixel at a time per minute.....so it will take about an hour to see the text make a significant move....but it does. This is good to know since the new phones dont have the LED.
I thought the same when I enabled aod but after almost a year since I enabled it there is no screen burn where the clock is. I use the display app with a gray color to check for that. The only burn in I see is the notification bar and a slight navigation bar but nothing in the aod area. So I am surprised about that because the differential aging does not work as I thought it would. So movement of pixels seems to be more important than what's on the screen.

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
