I have auto-brightness and battery saving disabled, but for some reason Always On Display just gets really dark either immediately after locking the device, or after few seconds. This hasn't been the case for over a month I've owned the phone, so wondering if this is a new version of AOD issue (1.1.22)?
Anyone has a fix or more information on the subject?
Can you uninstall the update and see if it goes back to the way it was. Samsung may be trying to reduce battery use by AOD.

Is there a way to roll back the Always On Display to an earlier version? How can I do that?
Yes, it's the latest version of AOD that does this. Now that the reviews of the S7/Edge are all done, Samsung can finally update their phones to their intended versions

If you go into the Application manager, and find AOD, you should be able to uninstall it, which will revert to the original version.

OMG, I had the same thought. Bait customers with glowing reviews then **** up the software & battery life with subsequent "updates." Is Samsung getting paid by Apple to gimp their phones? Samsung really sucks at software.

How do you stop this auto updating? There is no option under auto update Samsung Galaxy apps to disable it. Only under auto update apps is there an option to turn it off.

One updates the Galaxy Apps app itself, the second - all other apps downloaded through the Galaxy Apps. So turning off the second one is enough to disable the auto update for AoD.
@optimummind I'm really happy with the new update. The previous versions where way to light to actually use for me. This was also a complaint of a lot of people. So instead of what you say they actually listen..

I wasn't very impressed with the Note 3's battery life at first, then I went into Settings>Application Manager and disabled a whole bunch of bloatware. Also went into each app and turned off any background update and location service if we don't need it. You can do this without root. Just take a look on this board and you'll see someone has compiled a list of apps that you can disable.
The phone now runs cooler, and yesterday, we had 14h usage and 6.5 hours display on time (auto brightness). Very impressive in my book.

Turn off all the Samsung features when you're not using them like Smart Stay and Air Gesture. The sensors are always on in certain apps when you have them enabled. Turning them on and off is easily accessible via the notification toggles. But it will only slightly help, your phone should be performing better than that even with those features running. Try a factory reset if it is safe to do with the root method.

yup. was recommended that app on the s4, great app
Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

I essentially hibernate everything except system apps and widgets, just to be safe. You would also not hibernate apps that you want background notifications from. I also use the donate version, which allows me take advantage of GCM. Which, for apps that use GCM, allows me to hibernate those apps and still receive notifications.
Hope that helps =]
My favorite app is the Snapdragon BatteryGuru. I love it! That will monitor usage and show you which programs are battery hogs and will learn your behaviors with your phone. Only works with the Snapdragon Processor phones as well.

I remember recently that there was an alternative to LightFlow being featured somewhere (forget if it was XDA or Reddit or somewhere else).
Does anyone remember it? I believe it was a bit more lightweight than LF.
EDIT: Decided to make this the general Nexus 5 LightFlow thread since that's what it pretty much became.

But eventually I moved back to light flow because it works better for me in KitKat.
I prefer light flow. I like being able to set it to dismiss the light as soon as I turn my screen on. Quickest way to get the light to stop blinking.

How about getting the led to be always on?
I've always liked it better than pulsing, and set it up like that in the Galaxy Nexus, but can't get it to work on the N5 yet.
is it worth having root mode on as well ?

I see the very first app i ever purchased on the android market for my old N1 is still getting updates (sept 2013).... TrackBall Alert Pro... also Trackball Alert..
updates say it will work with any trackball (hah i miss that thing) and RGB LED.. from what i remember it was a pretty minimal app that let you choose colours/flash rate/etc...

There's an option in each notification under the "light" tab for "LED flash rate" for "always on / very slow pulse". I have it that way for when my phone is charging.

I've been a paid Swype user for years now, haven't found another keyboard that suits me as well, to be honest. I tried SwiftKey, etc. and didn't care for them.
Chrooma keyboard. Dope. Nuff said. Fleksy is cool too once you get used to it and the way you input keys..its quite different. but I like swiping for words sometimes and fleksy doesn't support that. Chrooma has been my favorite since I can't flash AOSP keyboard with number row.

I have solved the problem on my device
Hi
I had the same problem.
If you can have access to a terminal in your device, you can see the running processes with ps command.
I use it to see what processes where running when I saw that screen appear once again, what I could see at the output from the command line was that two of the running process where related to a wallpapers app (KittyPlay wallpapers) and had some estrange references to the following namespaces:
com.jiubang.commerce.service.IntelligentPreloadService
com.jiubang.commerce.chargelock
The first thing that come to my mind was the obvious relation of "chargelock" with the kind of screen lock that was appearing on my device and the fact that a few days ago I have installed f-droid and this application offered to update the KittyPlay application, so I updated thinking that there was no problem with the updated app. After the update I started to see the speedcharge lock screen.
The only way for me to know what was causing the problem was to use the command line and trying to identify the processes involved.
I uninstalled the mentioned application (KittyPlay) and the speedcharge lock screen stopped from appearing.
Hope this can be helpful to solve the problem for you.
I've had the same problem for awhile now. Turns out it was GO Weather. I'd used it for years without any real problems but this is it. I just uninstalled, rebooted and the speedcharge lockscreen is gone.
It is also in GO power master but all I did was go to settings and unclick Boost Charge. There is also an option to unclick launch GO power master when charging.
I found it in zcamera.
ES file Explorer has been bundled with the speed charger addware as well.

If you select "View as simplified list" in the settings menu then there is a "Device Maintenance" entry. It seems like it's just a category for four other settings pages, so not sure if it provides the same functionality as before.

Why would it be called "torch"? That's what british people call it. Here in the US, they're called "flashlights". And on a phone, it should always be called flashlight, because you're literally using the camera's flash as a light.
that isn't the only omission, the mark as read and quick reply buttons from the message notification are gone also.
