The Google Home Hub is interesting..
At night it has a clock that you cannot even set in ambient mode which is crazy! I like the night clock better than the digital clock.
Aside from that, there is a view that shows the time, date, temp, weather and either agenda or commute. I wish I could default to this screen. Does anyone know if this is actually generated on the device or is this a URL based screen I could cast to a Chromecast?
Would also be awesome if you could "hub" an old tablet.
Thanks!

I have upgraded to 4.3 and now the Desk Clock is a mess. I have the digital version showing on the home page, when I open it, all the clocks then, (timer etc) are analogue, cannot find a way to change to digital, but my main problem is the Desk Clock mode.
When in operation it will go to a blank screen when sleep mode is activated and I can find no way of overiding it. Also the figures are now of a boulder construction meaning more light emitted, not good as a night clock.
The previous version would stay on all night, with the time moving around (screensaver) and also was a lot less bright, especially if a soft swipe was used to dim it.
Am I missing something here or as this App taken a massive backward step ??

Hi I am new to Tasker and I found it is really really a helpful app and indeed is only limited by your imagination. I did setup some basic profiles like controlling brightness, rotation and volumes. I am really getting some creative ideas to speed up my tasks. However I'm stuck in setting up a profile correctly so I'm requesting for a help.
Requirement- launching of an app (like YouTube, gallery, mx player ) should change the brightness. But at day the brightness should be higher and at night it should be lower. I'm able to change the brightness when app is launched, but can't figure out how to deal with day night time thing. Please help.
Thanks.
Twilight Plugin from Google Play
I use tasker to turn bluetooth on when i am not at home or at work. I set up a profile to turn the brightness up when bluetooth is on and the twilight plugin says it is daylight.
I also have another profile which turns the brightness down when i am connected to the car bluetooth and the twilight plugin says it is dark outside.
So it looks like all of the AOD's are just like stickers.. except the clock, or calender, all others they hold no purpose, they act like digital stickers/logo's.
I was wondering if I am missing out on the Aod's that are not on google play or samsung store... and are animated or even if there is a always on display for a Music Visualizer, that shows the animated spectrum equalizer or wave?
Would look really cool if the music is playing and the animated visualizer is on on the display while the phone is on sleep mode.
Is this hard to make?
well, that would totally defeat the AOD purpose, to be a light form of info while in idle, as it is, all users complain about batt drain, around 1% per hour, many preffer not to use it! I use the edge clock AOD, as it drains less than the others

I get your point. But not everyone has issues with charging cell phones once or twice a day. Most of us have chargers or wireless chargers at work, and always connect or place the phone in charging mode.
Most AOD's do not make any sense except they display a small cartoonish logo over the phone. Samsung should either completely remove this feature, or should inculcate additional features to enhance the AOD's, to give it some sort of meaning, probably like an animated screensaver.. or as i mentioned earlier, having a music visualizer on the screen.
I was able to find an AOD in the samsung store that is just a static Music visualizer.. doesnt do anything, and serves no purpose.
I wonder how hard it would be for someone to come out with something like this.. if an AOD can display the current time or clock surely a few waves or graphic particles be made to dance to the tune of the music.
Well, when you put it this way, well yes, we should have the option to customize it any way we like, yes, you have a point there man
Hi,
I currently have a Pixel but am considering getting an S10. One of the features I love on the Pixel is the clock app’s screensaver-it means I can prop my phone up by the side of my bed and have a dim display showing just the clock. Does the S10 have anything similar please? Thanks!
I have an non-rooted S10e (SM-G970U). The screensaver settings unfortunately do not offer a clock option - only photos or colors. It's too bad Samsung doesn't have this option. I used it as you described on other phones and loved it. Now I use AOD as a substitute but , of course, it's "Always On" - not just at night when charging.
You setup the always on display to only trigger at night, it'll do the job pretty well if you're looking for a nightstand option. The always on display comes with various clock faces so I'm sure it won't be very difficult to find the right fit. If you can't from the stock ones you could always download good lock for extra clockfaces
Or you could just download any clock style screensaver which will do exactly what you're looking for. Display a clock when the phone is on charge and you let the screen go off on it's own. It's been in Android phones for years. S10 comes with a few built in screensavers.
AOD is the best option though. Minimal battery use.
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and am trying to figure out how to get a clock to display on my AA like in the example image.
The clock on my AA is very very tiny and in the upper left hand corner at all times.
I would really love to be able to display a clock and date like in the example image, but I can only get secondary apps like Spotify to display in the split screen.
I just can't find any info or figure out how to get a clock to display there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Jason
I guess the right part of the screen is from the car itself...
The UI of Android Auto on this picture does not look like Coolwalk. Therefore there is no split screen possible with Android Auto.
