Is there any way to set the AOD to turn on only when you pick up the phone? (like in Iphones).

I don't think so but if you cover the proximity sensor for around 15 seconds or so it turns off the display until it's not covered. I got into the habit of facing it face down to trigger it or covering the top part of the display with something

Don't think it can be done so yet. Something like double tap on the screen to wake would have been better than AOD all the time sucking battery.
I found a thing and I am currently trying it out. In the AOD settings you can adjust the brightness yourself (rather than leaving it on auto-brightness).
It has 4 levels. I have set it to level 2 (level 1 was almost not visible during day light).
Up to now I see much lower battery consumption from AOD. Will keep testing and report.

There are tilt to wake apps in the play store.... I could not get them to work right....
I did find one super cool option to help me solve this issue. Its buried deep in accessibility settings. Its the "interaction and dexterity option." It will allow you to wake the screen by waving your hand over it. Yes, this is deeply buried but one of the most useful features of the phone.
Sure, this is not what you are asking but I thought I would throw it out there so you have an option.

Does the iPhone X even have AOD?

Yes, sorry I meant to say to wake the phone when you pick it up. But to take it a step further it would be nice to have an option to just open AOD when you pick the phone up.

This indeed works gr8. I don't need to look at the screen all the time just to see what's there at the cost of battery.

This is my first samsung and I haven't figured out everything yet, I would like the display to stay on while it is charging so I can use it as a clock. My Evo always stayed on while it was charging and I could hit the power button to turn off the display while charging if i wanted to, is this possible on the sprint s3?

I used extended controls and have the control sitting in my pull down. Use the toggle "stay awake".
Let me know if you need more info.

thanks for the reply, I can't find extended controls, where is it?
the reason they disabled the option is because the super AMOLED screen can be prone to burn-in and washing out. i suggest NOT leaving it on for extended times (especially if the screen is not changing images)

There is a app in the market called stay awake. I use it and it's pretty good gets the job done.

Good to know. I don't leave it on while charging, but I like to have my music more accessible when driving since this thing doesn't have music control on the lockscreen.
I would never, ever leave the display of any of my OLED devices on when I am not directly interacting with them.
I had bad burn in on my old Nexus One from simply having the display on while charging.
I learned my lesson then; never again.
Hi,
I'm looking to try out a Note. But want to know if there is a feature in some kernel or flashable zip of some kind to achieve this. I searched around but got mixed results so I'm not certain. thank you in advance.
I remember having that option on my Vivid. However, I do believe that is an HTC/Sense option. Someone correct me?

I am happy I switched to be honest. Development just died for the vivid.

Whoa, funny to see 2 other people switching from a Vivid to a Note!
This is something I'd been looking for a while as well, never found anything. It was such a nice way to turn on/off my screen, made the button seem ancient and obsolete.

well, not just a note but just something a bit bigger than the vivid, i'm even considering the GS3 as well. but the thing is, I dock my phone onto my car's instrumentation panel and it seems to work well but there's no way i can get to the vivid's power button, and even the samsung lines would be difficult to get to as the power button is on the side; i hope someone can make something like this for the samsung lines.
thanks.

It doesn't really need to be 'swept' to wake. all I want is something that I can touch (or hold) on the front screen or bottoms to wake this thing up. anything? if not, I think what I'll do is go for the international version which, its middle button wakes the note up.
thanks!
you can flash a cm based rom and set device to stay awake while charging. you can also set to wake with volume keys. unless you mount phone with both sides blocked. i personaly set to stay awake and have modified my sunglass holder to hold phone. sits just above rear view mirror and works great even though power button is down and cant be pressed. if you want to stay with touchwiz screen times out at 10 minutes and no option to stay awake. however if you have sqlite editor you can change the database to stay awake but i have had issues with this not wanting to stick after reboot.

so you want to wake/unlock the device without using any hardware buttons?
i use lightlock or proximity screen off/on from the play store. it uses the front sensors to wake/unlock or sleep.
i set lightlock to just 1 sec so all i have to do is put my hand/finger over the front sensor then my note wakes up

Does this mean it wakes up in your pocket?
no. it will only wake if it senses a proximity change
so if you use lightlock and just cover the sensor, nothing will happen. if you cover the sensor for a set period that you choose and then remove your hand, then your device will wake.
you should try it out. it makes using your phone feel futuristic. impresses a lot of people especially when you show somebody with an iphone lol

thank you so much! I will check this out. this will work great. yeah i can now go look for a Note!!
and don't need to look for the international one, which seems to be more expensive.
My phone is currently running everything stock , I am considering rooting my device !
one of the primary reason is to get the knock knock - double tap to wake and sleep the device .
the question is , is it possible to get it on the ZU after rooting .
Hopefully there are no issues rooting ZU on 4.3 , if any please mention
thank you

search is your friend
i havent seen any knock2 to wake that works on z ultra. care to point the link sir?
Ok, maybe I should have said search is my (or the collective forum) friend, as the question has been asked and answered several times that there is no knock/knock to wahe port for the XZU
We'll get the "double-tap-to-wake" feature in the 4.4 update according to the latest Sony 4.4 screenshots leak (xperiablog.net).

The idea came my mind when i read that the knock knock feature was ported to HTC ONE through flashing something , so I thought if this could be done for the XZu it would be awesome !
and since I am coming from the jailbreak family i couldn't do much research about the true capabilities of rooting !
It's not Knock Knock, BUT:
I use the Gravity Screen app. On stock settings, it will turn off your display when you cover the proximity sensor and you tilt the device a certain angle, like when you're putting it in your pocket.
It will wake it up again once the prox sensor detects that nothing's covering it, like when you take it out of a pocket, or flip open a wallet case. You can play with the different settings to make it work however you want.
In my case, I've set it up so that if my phone is lying on the table, I can just tap/hover a finger (or palm/entire hand) over the proximity sensor and the screen will activate. Just like Samsung's implementation, or indeed Knock Knock. In my case though, it just takes one...knock.
No more wear on the power button. For turning the screen off, I use the Screen Off app (double tap with Nova's gestures). Or if I'm putting the phone in my pocket, the screen turns off automatically once the top part goes down a certain angle.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone confirm if double tap to wake was added to the official 4.4.2 kitkat update? I'm thiiiiiiis close to buying the Z Ultra, but I need to know this first.

good to go
So I just got my new V30 from Verizon and I love it so far. I like having the always on display active, but with it on literally all the time is there a possibility of burn in with it? I kinda wish it was like ambient display where it only came on when you picked up the phone or something like that. Anyways I have it set to disable itself at night when I am sleeping, but otherwise it is on. So to summarize, is burn in going to be an easy thing with this feature?
I also have it turn off at night while I'm asleep. I also keep my phone face down when I'm not using it so the AOD turns off. Anyway, if you watch, it moves around on the screen, so it's not always in the same place.

So now I have been watching the AOD and it does not move on my phone. I know the screensaver was on by default when I got the phone and that does move, but the AOD does not.

Not sure why yours isn't moving. Mine moves and I know in the other threads about AOD it is stated it moves.

As far as I can tell anyways, it just stays upper center and never moves from that spot. Does it depend on what I have it set to show? I just have it as default

If you are looking for a large shift like from the top of phone to middle to bottom that's not how it works. I think that it moves a pixel or so at a time.

I'd have to guess but maybe a pixel a minute or something like that.
Best way to see is to set up GoPro and record screen for about an hour. Then if you do a 4x playback you will see it move.

Gotcha
I see the charging indicator and percentage is always on now when the Tab is charging, is there a way to get the clock on as well? Like the phones? I saw a thread about developer options, but that just keeps the screen awake.
I was wondering if it can show the charging battery percentage, why can't we show the clock?? Am I missing something?
Thanks
Forget it.
Always on AMOLED | Edge Lighting is the best alternative with many customizations.

Thanks. Looks like your recommend is working, does it move the time around the screen? Not that I'm too worried about burn in on an almost three year old tablet, but still. The settings aren't the cleanest, so maybe I missed it.

"Always on AMOLED" has all needed features like "Auto movement" and "Time Rules".
However, there is always the risk of burn in!
You should use AOD intermittently.
