Always on Display - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

I have noticed the Note 7 always on is WAYYY brighter than the S7 Edge always on.
Anyway to change that?
What about screen burn in, do we think there will be a problem?

I had the same question. I don't want to turn it off but it's really bright.

Same here way too bright. I turned it off until there is a fix. Wish we could adjust it to personal preferences.

there's a 70mb international patch that samsung has released with a few bug fixes and improvements. the screen brightness might be part of the improvements. wont know til tmobile decides to push the patch to us. but as far as burn in goes i wouldnt worry about that. if you notice the always on screen moves position up and down your screen. this prevents burn in.

Unless you're using a S View cover, mine doesn't move (not that I've noticed anyway) ... Was a little concerned myself. I have an LG OLED display, the 65" EF9500, I know it's not as prone to burn in as compared to plasma, but the TV will run a screen clean cycle when powered down after every 10 hours of use, or there about... Not sure if the Note does anything behind the scenes to prevent or deal with possible IR ..

Mine DOES NOT move either.
Also there was an update today in the Galaxy Apps for the always on display. From what I can tell not much of a change

I believe the movement is 1 pixel every 10 minutes, random jump every 60 minutes. Is that not the case anymore?

it does move. and you're probably right about the time of the movement. the ppl that dont see it move are probably expecting it to move within 30s of them looking at it. it takes some time for it to move. over the past 2 hours mine was at the bottom of my screen it is now in the middle of my screen.

No you won't face an issue with screen burn in! That's an lcd screen issue with the pixels! You won't see that issue on your QHD display!

Lol wut? You got that backward. AMOLED *DOES* get burn in. LCD only occasionally suffers from image retention but that's temporary.

Awkward screen issue

Tell Google: "I'm not even mad, I'm impressed!"
That is horrible man... Our screen flicker is just like seeing your brightness go from 5% to 4‰ 10 times in a second. A florescent light flickering. Some have it worse than others.
Are you guys using automatic brightness? I've never seen a tablet do that well. Turn it off and see if it gets better.
That is, unless by "akward" screen issue" you meant your spelling of "awkward"...

Nexus 7 variations/issues

So I was wondering if between the different variations 16GB/32GB and 32+mobile if the same issues were showing up or if the new ones have quietly addressed the issues.
So far these are the main issues
Screen flicker
Difficulty when waking from sleep
Unresponsive power button to power on after powered off
Any others please add and respond to above question thanks all

Nexus 7 32Gb WiFi only CAO. Three points of minor light bleed at top. Bad flicker on auto no matter WiFi signal strength. Have to be at least 28% brightness to go away. No screen lift. I may exchange this one but expect chances are I will get a replacement with similar issues. I just have to find in myself if it is worth it.
I have a 16Gb C9O that doesn't have these issues at all and tint isn't quite as yellow either though I fix that with Filter My Screen app. I prefer that app over Screen Adjuster because it doesnt cause a performance hit.

It's screen time out if you set it for 1 minute the screen will go of in a minute
I know what screen time out is I'm asking about the auto sleep setting within it. It's the first phone I've seen with auto sleep. Not counting touchwiz smartstay. I'm wondering how it takes effect.

I'm curious to know this too!

I saw someone ask this before, and someone answered it works off the G-sensor, based on their testing. So keep the phone moving, or not on a flat surface, and it stays on longer. If you keep moving the phone, it shouldn't shut off. Place it on a flat horizontal surface, and notice the light dim almost instantly.

I asked the same question a while ago and the answer I ended up with was that
"It uses the gyroscopes to determine if the phone is being held vertical, or laying down horizontal. If it's laying down, the time out should be 15 seconds. If in a vertical position, it should be a minute."
Thanks for the response guys.

New update

I got a replacement this morning and was wondering if I can permenantly block updates somehow? I know I don't have a faulty model now and don't want the ugly new features they added in there.

Get the package disabler app from play store. You can disable the software updates without root

I don't like that all notifications are combined now. It's very irritating. The phone is also much laggier than before I've noticed. Charges slower. The faulty note 7 was too lazy for a $850 device to begin with, but I hoped they'd fix it. I really don't like the green battery either, but that's not a big deal really.

In my experience it was way less laggy than V1 and fixed most of the issues I had in gaming with poor performance and muddy textures. Plus the fingerprint sensor is really fast now

The update fixes the laggy issue but you'll get everything else as well.

I updated V1 because I have a V2 on order and had nothing to lose. Since it's the same hardware sans battery, I wanted to see what the update would do.
It was indeed quite laggy until I ran the device maintenance app and rebooted. It seems to be smoother now than before. I do, however, prefer the previous notification pull down.
Has anyone noticed a change in their status notifications?
On my original Note 7 notifications were not "grouped" if I had multiples from the same app (Facebook). Now I have to tap on the group to get them to expand.
I have noticed similar behavior for SMS messages. I no longer get a message preview and I do not have the option to reply from status bar..
I agree!

I received my replacement last night and there is definitely a lag, but nothing like the POS HTC Desire they gave me as a loaner and after charging on the wireless charger all night, it was only at 76%. I also cannot for the life of me find where I can change the alarm ringtone now (the settings does not have that option any longer) which is I why I came here. I did notice some interesting additions though.

If you go to the Clock App then select the Alarm tab. Select the Alarm entry you would like to modify (or create a new one). To change the ringtone select the Sound and Volume.

The fingerprint scanner on my old note 7 was fast. I don't know what everyone is talking about. My replacement was fine until I was forced to update.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
Just a heads up. I still don't like the new notifications but the phone has seemed to speed up. The only issue I have right now is my battery life is mediocre. I'm trying to figure that out today.

It's certainly not essential, but it can be handy if you are wearing gloves or something.

I really doubt this iris scanner is gonna make it to the next note.....people are not crazy about it ...i for one don't use it, I wear glasses most times, I'm not gonna do the trial and error thing with it or take my glasses off....fingerprint is perfect for me.

Yes, and that was also pretty handy. I used it all the time, especially if my hands were full, wet, gloved, etc.

I'd rather use the pen in extreme cases. It's just a gimmick to add $ to the price.

I probably wouldn't miss it if it were gone, but it is useful enough that I won't complain about it being there.

If one or both hands are full and you can't touch the screen or fingerprint scanner, how is taking the pen out and using that easier than simply looking at the phone with your face?

Always on display burn in

Hi guys just wondering I've switched off always in display right from the box because I was worried about burn in but after seeing my friends s8 plus always on display I feel I'm missing out lol
My question does always on display have any way of creating screen burn in of any sorts or degrade the quality of the display quicker then normal
Thanks
It's always in a different location to prevent burn in.

Thx, don't know how the heck I missed it!
In my settings, there's no option to have it move all over the screen. Is it that subtle that I dont see it move around? I like the AOD but I dont know how it cant create a chance of screen burn-in
It can be a very subtle move but it is definitely moving. You may not notice it. Sometimes I'll see it move about an inch, but other times not at all that I can tell. Enjoy your AOD, it won't burn into your display.
I'm terrified to leave my house in case I get eaten by a Llama.
some people .....
I've experienced the burn in screen with galaxy s8. The burn in started first in the place of home button and navigation bar then spread to the lower half of the screen. So now I deactivated AOD and navigation bar in my note9.
Sorry for my bad english

Not true, I have burn-in from AOD. It is very noticeable on light backgrounds.
