About 22-May
99.9% we will not have AOD samsung will never realse it for us :/ but if we have a good developer he can port it . We will have probabily new emoji reply from notification new ui and other things just chek s6/s7 our update will gonna be similar to them!
Yes but S6 and N5 has LED notification. Thats why dont need AOD. A 2017 series dosent have LED notification but they has AOD Service.
I use NoLED app with my A5 2016.
I have read today the AOD description; it seems that NoLED app is equivalent.

This doesn't mean anything for Samsung! S7 has too led notification but it has AOD features. Only the new generation will have AOD official realase from Samsung couse if samsung bring the features of s7/s8 on this smatphone probably you will buy this one and you don't spend 700€ or maybe A 2017 series that cost more than A 2016 series. So don't wait AOD from samsung for A 2016 but hope that a developer can bring it!
After we get the nougat update, if it's not with AOD, we cand simply add it by instal this: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lways-on-display-2-6-73-android-apk-download/ , and patch the settings app to show the settings
Of course + more services

I don't know if is so simple, you have to add somethings on the kernel! This is the problem that our developers have not enough knowledge on the development to add AOD otherwise we wolud have AOD on MM customs rom.
Maybe on Nougat will be more simple but I don't know.
Hi everybody. Recently I bought a J7 pro for several reasons, one of which was Always on Display, a.k.a AOD. However from the first night I used it as a night clock I could apparently see that the background of the clock and notifications is not black and has a faint light. The funny part is that the preview of AOD is fine with all the black pixels off, but when you actually use it, all the pixels are on. I asked several J730F owners and they had the same problem, however my device is J730G. Please test and report. Just remember the environment must be completely dark.

Hey
I have the same problem
I have a j730f/D's
It's really frustrating and I guess it drains the battery a lot
I also noticed the that the preview of the aod is perfect on all brightness levels
Maybe thats because the display panel uses different settings when real aod is on ( like udervoltage and lower refresh rate things like this but I am not an expert )
Also visible on 3rd party apps from the PlayStore
I guess Samsung is using some hardware tweaks there to optimise battery life
What I also noticed is when the real aod is set to full brightness because of the sunlight the screen really gets black ( you can try this with a flashlight or so )
But on the lowest brightness the screen gets grey .
Would love to know if this is just software related or hardware
Because if it is hardware I give it a try and send it back

I have no problem on 3rd party apps, yet battery drain is not acceptable.

That's exactly my situation as well. On low brightness the screen is unbearably gray, otherwise it seems to be completely black. I guess you can try sending it back, unfortunately I don't have that option.
3rd party apps sucks because they can't use this special display mode Samsung uses
Maybe I will send it back
But I am not sure about that I wanted to wait until an update is coming, maybe it's software related so they can fix it .
I also send an email to Samsung but I saw your post on the Samsung forum so I don't expect too much
With how many ppl did you talk about that problem that have the j730f ? I mean it doesn't make sense to send it back and get a new one if it is a problem for every device
I got the same issue on my J730G/DS. When on low brightness aod, i can notice the whole screen lighting up a little bit. But on high brightness it is completely black. I think all j7 pro have this issue. At least we could try to send it back to samsung and see if they will fix or even do something about this issue.

Unfortunately we don't have a robust Samsung representative here and I believe we cannot convince them about this issue. I believe you guys should go for the guarantee. This way at least you raise the issue to their awareness in practice.
I have the same issue too.
I've chatted with samsung and ask them to try this but they keep saying "All of our units are fine".

I found several threads out there talking about this problem. Generally the problem was with S7 and other Samsung flagship devices. In all the circumstances there, the problem only was fixed by changing the AMOLED panel. However here in J7 pro it seems that when the screen is well lit, the black is truly black and when the ambient sensor reduces the light the problem shows its ugly face. This problem was not mentioned anywhere in those threads I mentioned.

I don't wanna waste any more money on my phone. So yeah let see what will Samsung do. It's impossible that this is the AMOLED panel fault. Looks like the version of our AOD is a bit old. Try compare it with the A 2017 Nougat AOD.

i tried atleast 3 different third party aod apps and all worked fine but only fault was battery consumption. so maybe it is not hardware problem. its just software related. we can only hope that samsung fixes it soon by update

Although I hope so and believe that j7 problem is different from previous problems seen on other faulty aods, but the way aod works is different from the way other aod apps work.
Hey guys
I've borrowed my friend's J7 Pro to see if she had this AOD problem. After I bring it to a very dark place, the AOD works like it should (No grayish AOD background). Guess it's a hardware problem. I will try to send it back to Samsung if I have time.

Have u tried it when the screen light adjusts to the dark environment? If so please do send it back to make sure what the source of the problem is.

The AOD uses the ambient light sensor to decide what brightness should be used ( I think AOD only recognize Dark and Bright situation, just like most of the proximity sensors )
So because it's dark, the screen also adjust itself to dark situation. No grayish background is seen. I compare mine with her side by side and I can see the difference.
Another thing to proof that this is a hardware problem is that when you put your finger on the fingerprint sensor and it unlocks, between the unlocking process, you can see the screen flicker before it unlocks the phone. Same as when you boot up the phone. Right after when you press the power button and it vibrate, you can see a flicker before "Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro" is shown.

Please do us all a huge favor and take some time and send the device to Samsung (I would if my phone was under warranty) so we can make sure what the root of the problem is and don't raise our hopes. :good:

I will find some time to send it back to Samsung. The distance from My home to the nearest Samsung Service Center is very far, took me about half an hour with usual traffic. But they are usually traffic jammed, so I predict an hour trip to the SSC. Not an easy job though I'm very busy all day.

I have this issue ever since I bough the phone in early August. Not 1 but 2 unit, model SM-J730G/DS. Both show the same symptom. Do Samsung selling phone with defect amoled panel or poor software implementation? What the hell!
If you all notice, the official samsung's AOD app for our J7 pro is not available anymore in Play Store. Why they remove support for our device? Why? From the feedback there, a lot of j7 pro owner report about this aod problem...
I am in dilemma between these two phone, both have same prices.
Stock Android > MIUI (I utterly dislike li)
A1 wins.
SD 636 > SD 625
Pro wins.
Audio jack quality (I care about my music experience):
Mi A1 (can confirm it is really good) > Pro ( not good, as per reviewers)
Camera (Not that concerning to me) but:
Pro > Mi A1
I will take the Pro with onscreen buttons so i can arrange the back button to the left. I can not do that in A1.
And looking back at the Xiaomi's track record, I can't see Pro getting any AOSP ROMs soon.
Bottom line.
If I get A1, i get good music quality, stock android with updates. Compromises include, reverse physical buttons and a older SOC 625 thus lower performance.
If I get Pro, i get good screen, very good performance, good cameras. Compromises include, MIUI.
Help mi guys.
Note 5 pro:
Will probably get ROMs in some months like redmi note 4.
Better camera.
I don't think sound can get any worse than Mi A1 with all the hissing.
Better display.
Better battery.
Better performance.
Does it have gorilla glass? Redmi note 4 didn't and it sucked.
Mi A1:
Slimmer.
Stock Android. I actually like miui tho.
ROMs cooking right now.
Well that concludes what I think, note 5 pro without any doubt for me. A1 is a rushed phone with bad audio and mediocre cameras and a smaller battery. I actually prefer my redmi note 4 with custom miui over A1 except for the camera.
Also I'm a bit biased for miui because I'm learning Mandarin ATM haha. But Roms will be there and be awesome quite quickly anyway so stock Android won't be far away for the note 5. It has none of the dual partition stupidness

I did not experience any hissing in A1, the dac is quite powerful just use a good quality headphone/headset.
Okay i am thinking of compromising with MIUI if only it answers my some questions.
Can I directly reply from notifications?
Can I swipe the notifications from one finger?
Can I snooze the notifications for minutes to hours like in nougat/android?
If MIUI can behave like stock android then I can compromise.
Can the miui apps be disabled? Because my whole ecosystem is on Google apps. Like calendar, contacts dialer, etc.
Whats the status on the ROMs for Pro? I know it's too early to say as the phone been just released?
The dual partition is quite handy though, i saw my friends phone update seamlessly just needed a reboot and that too was quite fast.
The DAC is bad for low ohm in-ears.
I think I could answer from notifications. Swipe notifications from one finger? Hmm I guess.
Well you can disable sync or put DNS mode. Or disable apps with powersaving.
Disable apps, with root that will soon be possible and without I guess some but most not.
ROMs, nothing so far, but note 4 was quite fast. Anyway, if unlocked and flashed with miui.eu it will be quite lean with mostly Google apps. Except for the necessary phone functions
My choice would be note 5 pro and after some months flash miui.eu or a stock build. Regarding dual partitions, Yeah sure they speed things up a bit but we only get at most 1 update per month and updating on miui takes at most 5 minutes so for me I would rather not have them and have more storage + easier rom development.
The only things that annoys me with my A1 is the hissing and camera quality. Otherwise I like it, but I would even take the regular redmi 5 plus over it so..
I really like my Mi A1. Good lil phone, I'd go for it again!
Before you make the jump, i would say just get a hands on experience of RN5pro. Cooping up with a 185gm+ device and that too having pretty wide width doesn't sound a pleasurable experince for prolonged usage.

"Think you could answer from notification.."
Please tell a concrete answer, like in whatsapp you can reply from notification itself.
"Swipe Notification.."
Sorry, my bad, i meant to ask if i can expand notification with one finger to see the contents not swipe away the notification. Do Notifications get bundled if there are many of the same app?
"Well you can disable sync or put DNS mode. Or disable apps with powersaving."
Isn't that too much work to just snooze the notifications for one particular app?
"Disable apps, with root that will soon be possible and without I guess some but most not. "
Can't i disable miui's calender app to use google calender without root?.

Yes i did notice the width, i need two hands to operate it weight is okay and manageable. Well from the reviews and comparison pro is a bit narrower and a bit taller, so i would need two hands to use it anyways, gone are the days of the likes of Nexus 5, i miss it.
GSMArena says it does not have compass sensor. Is it true?

I dont remember and I wouldn't do it myself. But its possible in various ways and also you can filter content to the lockscreen i think.
"Disable apps, with root that will soon be possible and without I guess some but most not. "
Can't i disable miui's calender app to use google calender without root?
Most certainly you can just use a launcher like Evie and hide the app. Otherwise I cant answer if you can disable it.

Hit me up if u guys have any question regarding India specific unit.
I just got my RENO 10X Zoom and don't know how to disable all notifications from the lockscreen, I have gone to settings and have already clicked on do not show on lockscreen. It seems that you have to go to each app and disable the lockscreen notifications.
Is there a way or an app that I can install and disable all notification from lock screen at once.

Just switch to a different theme downloaded from theme store.
Do you know how can we change the icon in default launcher?
Also, I could find a way to change the number of apps in a row in App Drawer?
Coming from OnePlus, I strongly feel that Color OS is a disappointment when we compare it to Oxygen OS.

Hi, congrats on your new mobile.
About the dual speakers...
1. How is the quality?
2. Are they really dual(like in S10, Xs etc) or fake dual( like in PocoF1, Zenfone 5z etc)?
3. Can you compare their loudness and quality to any other device for reference?
Thanks

Congrats! I have this targeted as a potential contender for my next phone. I have a few questions please,
1. The volume/side button wobbly issue on the Indian model?
2. How good is the rear camera, flagship levels (like S10/Pixel)? Or at least close?
3. From the reviews, the front camera images looked too bright and kinda washed out. with less details. Is it still the same? Any improvement with any update?
4. How bad is Color OS? Any comparisons? (I am used to samsung S7's os and pure android, will Color OS be tolerable? Does it have good features?)

The keys on my phone are wobbly too but I don't think it'll be a problem.
Btw are you guys using the case that came in the box? I find it very ugly. I use skins in all my phones but can't seem to find one for the reno yet. Also, is everyone still using the pre-applied screen protector? Mine already caught a lot of dust. If someone has installed a different one kindly share the link.

Hello! Congratulations on your purchase. I hope to follow your footsteps but do have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do notifications come through well?
2. Do the notifications show on the status bar up top?
3. Off screen clock or always on display, does it show 3rd party apps notification?
4. How is the video quality? I saw a couple videos from this one channel on youtube and his video from Oppo 10x zoom looked very washed out. Do you have the washed out look when taking videos?
I thank you so much in advanced for your help!!
Just one question.. Is the color os that bad of a deal breaker? I was thinking of buying either the 10x zoom or the black shark 2.. Both have pretty much same specs and all and I am a bit leaned towards the oppo one.. But I just want to know how bad colos os actually is.. and what makes it so bad
Thanks

Will applying a different theme have an impact on the notifications shown on lockscreen?
I think it is a bug in colorOS as it doesn't let you disable all lockscreen notifications at once. The option is there but it doesn't work.

If these 2 phones are ur options, they unless until ur a gamer, u should go for oppo reno.
And even if u are a gamer, wait and buy nubia red magic.
Blackshark is just bad.

Hello! Congratulations on your purchase. I hope to follow your footsteps but do have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do notifications come through well?
2. Do the notifications show on the status bar up top?
3. Off screen clock or always on display, does it show 3rd party apps notification?
4. How is the video quality? I saw a couple videos from this one channel on youtube and his video from Oppo 10x zoom looked very washed out. Do you have the washed out look when taking videos?
I thank you so much in advanced for your help!!

1. Color os is aggressive, so its known to kill background apps. U will have to select apps u want to allow in background for notifications.
2. if u mean app symbol at top, then it shows.
3 video quality is okayish at best. they need to update it. stabilization is good thought.

1. Notification works just fine if you don't enable 'Super high power efficiency ' ON. For me all app sends notification without doing anything.

Thanks @Dooomlord and @mohitgalaxy3 !!!
Could you guys comment on the always on display or screen off clock please? Do they show notifications icons as well as the 3rd party app notifications?
Thanks again for your answers!
No, they don't show any 3rd party notifications.
By default, you can see only the fingerprint location. You can enable the clock, that's it.

The phone itself is really good but the software just sucks!
ambient display is, for me, in many situations, too dim, or it turns off in dark as it says - is it possible to disable this i noticed samsung and huawei phones don't have this issue and their always on displays are nice and bright always

Me to, in dark situations, too dim, or it turns off when you go from light to dark, think that adaptive brightness have problem on all xiaomi phones, don't know is this problem with MIUI 10, MIUI 11 or something wrong with android 9, we will see what will be with android 10.
Well i bought mi to have at least some notifications as oneplus does to have any, but i think, i would be better of with oneplus as nothing when it is not supposed to work is better then nothing when there should be aod, but it is mostly to dark it is impossible to see or just plain off.
Well to be honest, only Samsung was where I was AOD to be really working, not even pixel or huawei was without issues. So I wonder where to go next time - I guess apple, as in EU samsungs have weird power hungry chips.
Tough I wanted full display without holes and I got it and it look really nice, shame that other functionality of the phone after update to miui11 is gone.
I have created a work around fix for this little annoying problem.
I used Tasker and made 5 profiles that reads Display Light values and adjust the Display Brightness .
I have set Auto Brightness OFF
Check it and give feedback if you find it useful.
I attach the tasker file to import it
So is there a solution for this nonsense issue already? Googling around and can't find a fix for over a year now.
I did not notice this issue on any other xiaomi phone, including mi6, mi8pro, mi9se.
This is so annoying, I want to throw this phone in to a wall at times. But then I remwmber how much time it takes to fully set up a new one.
