Seeking Help with Always On Display Brightness

I’ve been using the Always On Display feature on my Android phone for a while now, and I really love how it keeps some information accessible at a glance. However, I’ve noticed that the brightness settings can be a bit tricky to manage. I’m looking for some advice on the following:

1. Adjusting Brightness Levels

  • I know that different devices have various options for adjusting the brightness of the Always On Display. Does anyone have tips on how to customize this effectively? Is there a specific setting that balances visibility and battery conservation?

2. Troubleshooting Brightness Issues

  • Lately, I’ve encountered some issues where the brightness doesn’t seem to adjust according to the ambient light. Has anyone else experienced this? What steps did you take to troubleshoot this problem?

3. Comparing Devices

  • For those of you with different Android models, how do the Always On Display brightness settings compare? Are there any models known for better customization options or brighter displays?

4. Battery Life Tips

  • Lastly, I’d appreciate any advice on conserving battery life while using Always On Display. Are there specific settings or adjustments that can help extend battery life without sacrificing too much functionality?

I appreciate any tips, tricks, or experiences you can share. Looking forward to your responses!

I’ve found that adjusting the AOD brightness via the display settings can make a big difference. On my Galaxy S21, I simply navigate to Settings > Display > Always On Display and adjust the brightness slider there. It helps maintain visibility without killing my battery!

That’s a great tip! I have a OnePlus 8 and I can adjust AOD brightness as well in the same way. Funny how different brands have similar settings!

You can also set a schedule for the AOD brightness. On some devices, it’s possible to lower the brightness during night hours to save battery. Definitely worth exploring!

I didn’t know you could do that! How do you set a schedule? I usually forget to change it back!

6

To set a schedule, go to Settings > Display > Always On Display, and look for ‘Schedule’ or ‘Night mode’. This way, it adjusts automatically!

I personally set my AOD to be less bright during the night. It makes it easier on the eyes and improves battery life. Support to anyone still experimenting!

Absolutely! Anything that helps my battery last longer is a win for me! Thanks for sharing!

I noticed my AOD drains battery a lot when the brightness is too high. It’s a fine balance to optimize visibility while preserving battery life.

You’re right, it’s all about finding that sweet spot! What have you all found is the best low-brightness setting?

11

For me, keeping it around 20% brightness gives me just enough visibility without being too harsh. My screen still looks sleek!

12

I guess my AOD brightness must be a crime at 50%! But hey, it looks gorgeous! :joy:

Every device behaves differently, I think reflecting on your needs helps. Some want clear visibility, others prioritize battery. It’s essential to find your balance!

I guess I never thought about it that way! Maybe I should try lowering the brightness at night and see how it affects my battery life.

15

I recently experimented with the brightness settings for my always-on display. Lowering it to around 50% improved my battery life significantly without sacrificing visibility too much.

16

That’s great info! Have you noticed any specific apps that drain battery more than others when the AOD is active?

17

I think the key is finding a balance. Reducing the AOD brightness but keeping it visible in daylight can save quite a bit of battery. Maybe try auto-brightness?

18

Auto-brightness could work, but I often find it inconsistent. It’s a trade-off for sure! Anyone found a sweet spot on the brightness percentage?

19

I’ve set mine to 30% for nighttime and think that works well. I get decent visibility without stressing the battery too much!

That sounds good! I feel like I’m always second-guessing my settings. Do you think battery-saving modes impact AOD brightness?
