Last night I was showing my friend the new phone and when flipping it over in my hand repeatedly I managed to make the edge show a clock - like the night clock but I've not got night clock enabled.... I managed to do it randomly 3 times but cannot work out how I did this.... It would be a really good feature to be able to brush the edge or screen and it just show a clock and also useful if this had a meeting mode. Using the edge clock only for night seems like building a car and only driving in reverse....
Any one worked this out?

That's actually one of the features of the Edge called Information Stream. Just rub the edge up-down or down-up to show the clock and by swiping to the left or right you can change between clock and informations. You can enable and disable it via the edge screens settings.

Ah-ha! Why doesn't it tell you this in the information about the information stream? It only talks about feeds ect.. but no mention of a clock! Thanks very much, really useful that. Just need a desk clock mode now

Dear developers,
Thanks for your great apps and support. Thanks to many of you my Samsung G901F can last about 3 days standby. The stock rom 6.01 only gave about 30 hours. I used CF auto root, greenify, Xposed framework, Amplify, setCPU, Appopsxposed, Bootmanager, Wakelock detector pro...
But I still got an question: Can someone program a better battery standby app and replace the stock?
The android 6.01 stock battery standby calculation is deceptive. If you use the phone in the beginning, like play a game for a few minutes it will remember and keep that battery usage in the equation to calculate your future usage.
This is just strange! Because the same usage cycle usually never repeats.
Perfect calculation would be to have 2 calculations and shown to user:
1) add an option that calculates standby time as in deep sleep battery drain .
2) and another calculation based on current drain (screen on, using app). So there are actually 2 different calculations.
Did someone program such app or stock battery calculation ?
Hi
On the S7 Edge you have the option for AOD and night clock. I have looked, according to me, everywhere for night clock, but can't find it. Has it been removed or can someone tell me where to go to setup night clock?
sorry to say its been removed since the s8.
That's crap....it's one feature I used on the S7 edge, having aod constantly on chows the battery...perhaps an apk of the night clock feature?

they do have some thing that resembles it called edge clock which you can set at night, it shows only at the edge but its quite useless. I just ended up leaving AOD on only at night didnt see that much drain, my phone is in airplane mode though.
I was to believe that AOD only used 1% battery per day?
The edge clock is the thing that is missing or that I cant locate..I can't find it under edge panels or anywhere...the clock that sits on the side of the edge screen. The aod took 2 % per hour on my s7 edge..on the s9+ it takes 3% per hour
I just got my new phone today and noticed this was gone as well -- this sucks!!! It was great to glance at my bedside table and see the time in the dark. Crapola.

You can setup a schedule for the aod so it only comes on when you need it.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's 1% per hour.

Yes its 1%/hr not per day. I have tested it overnight with and without and its 1% drain per hour

Yeah, but when I select this, it will show during day also :/ Useless..
Agree - also it's not at the edge (not into the curve) - so doesn't show as well from an angle...I miss this feature from the S7 edge..

The point that the fan of the S7 Edge approach is trying to make is that he can not set the phone up to switch between two *different* always on setups automatically in a rotation on the S9.
As an example, on the S7 Edge, one could set:
-Always on display with clock and date displayed in large letters on the center of the screen as 8am to 11pm.
- Night clock with the date and time sideways on the edge of the phone and nothing in the center from 11pm to 8am.
Though they've folded the night clock look into the always on display feature, so you can get an always on display that looks like the old night clock, the OP can't duplicate the aspect of the functionality that allowed a more typical AOD during the day and the side one during the night without manually going into settings and changing it both when he wakes up in the morning and again when he goes to sleep in the evening (Twice a day). Now he must pick one or the other and any swaps have to be manual where before he could automate. He can limit the one he picks to certain times, and automate that, but he'll get a blank the rest of the day. So, duplicating getting two that switch back and forth automatically at certain times, which is goal, appears impossible.
I actually don't have an S9, but I do have an S7 Edge. I actually found this thread through a search engine where I was wondering if night mode would still be an option in the event I upgrade at some point, so I get exactly where the OP is coming from, and the functionality described here is not the full functionality of the S7 Edge night mode feature. It sounds like they folded part of it into always on display and eliminated the rest.
An "always on display" automated switcher might be a good app for someone to write. You could have the functionality this guy wants, plus it would enable you to do things like have one AOD for work and another for leisure or family hours. You could look at your phone and come to associate one AOD display with work and one with fun. Maybe your work one could be a serious plain clock face and your fun time one could include a zany picture.
I could be incorrect but I was under the impression that the S9/9+ brought back the NightClock*feature? Not the AOD version but the original?
Anyhow, I was able to unlock the original NightClock feature (S7E, VZW, Oreo 8.0) via a simple floating_feature.xml edit. Now I can go to: SETTINGS -> DISPLAY -> NIGHTCLOCK and can set what time I want the clock to turn on/off. Just like the original.
But, sadly, at the set time, nothing happens. AOD turns off, no NightClock.
The problem that I am facing now is that apparently the framework needs to be edited to actually get the clock to display. Until we get the ability to modify Oreo framework this is likely the end of the road for NightClock.

Exactly. It was an really nice feature on the S7 edge.
I really liked being able to use the regular AOD clocks during the day and the edge clock during the night. Seemingly many other S7e users liked this feature too. Shame when an new "improved" model loses a desirable feature.
I have an S7+ and just updated it to the latest Oreo release, which includes the latest Samsung updates. I've lost my night clock!! It's the best feature of the edge display, one I use all the time. I'm gutted I upgraded now!! Why Samsung? Why??? Btw, the edge clock in this latest update simply doesn't sit within the curve so it's useless!
My Mi A3 got the Android 10 update and I was excited to see the Always On Display option, but when I enabled it I noticed that the clock does not move around (like Samsung's) so I'm worried about burn-in.
Can anyone confirm if that's a risk with the stock AOD or not?
PS: I have no interest in third-party AOD apps.

It's barely visible, but clock moves in all directions. Every few minutes it shifts by a few pixels horizontally and vertically. It doesn't jump across the whole screen.

Thank you, that's good to know. I just wish it had more options, or at least a schedule to disable it at night.

You can schedule it with root and automation app like Tasker.
Disable secure settings:
doze_always_on 0
Enable secure settings:

That's neat but mine isn't rooted, thanks nonetheless.
I decided to turn AOD off altogether, I don't know if it's a bug but it consumed too much battery for some reason.
Are there any themes for "always on" on mia3 just like Samsung does?

So it did for me. AOD consumed battery like water. I just flashed miui rom and aod is way better at battery managment. So it must be bad optimization in the AOD.

In my case AOD consumes about 2% of battery per hour, same as on Android 9. I certainly would want less battery consumption, but it's not that catastrophic. What's the battery consumption on MIUI (% per hour)?

With android 10 battery consuption of AOD was 4-6% per hour now with MIUI is 1-2% per hour. I think miui has more aggressive batery saver and stocks android AOD was first attempt at android 10 so it has room for changes and optimization

Probably first build of A10 had bug where phone wasn't going to deep sleep with AOD, but it has been fixed already. It's been about 2% ever since (and also on A9), which I believe is the HW limitation and can't go much lower.
