Here's how the Always-on display option may look like on Note 7

Agreed that its brighter then G5's which makes it significantly better then G5's implementation. but the battery drain is not far from 1% (which is why I mentioned almost). However, it still is significant IMO. When I leave it on during night I almost loose 12-13% battery with AOD on and 2-3% without it. Also, Samsung completely lied in its marketing for its battery drain in ads as against what we witnessed in real world scenarios.

@tech2, why would you leave the AOD turned on, during your sleep at night? I mean, it's meant for time and weather notification, which obviously is useful only when you're awake!

Well bcoz my neighbour thinks the only time to fix his leaking garage is at midnight (long story). Because of that bellend I wake up several times at night.

I recommend you to use edge clock at night. That doesn't drain battery by much. It's dimmer and could be set in automatic timing to switch between AOD and edge clock.

I doubt it that it's the AOD that is draining 12% during your sleep, unless you sleep for 3 straight days. After few days of the release of the S7, Samsung issued an app update for the AOD fixing the battery drain, so either you didn't get the app updated, or there is something else causing the drain. For me, it doesn't have any impact on the battery life of my S7 Edge. I just wish it was compatible with 3rd party apps, that's my only gripe. But I do like the fact that I can have a quick glance at my phone to check the time.

Maybe. I have updated my phone to whatever the latest released version in UK is including the one where you can customize AOD for certain times. I even did some asking around at xda a while ago and few other people are facing the same prob. On a separate note, what sort of SoT are you getting ? Mine is about 4.5 to 5.5 hours (without AoD) Everything on except NFC or Bluetooth. Also, does your SoT affect significantly if you're out and about much ? I've noticed that with mine quite a bit.

Easily 6:30 hrs, sometimes I can even get 8. I have everything switched on, NFC, location, Sync, and always on. I do play basic games like card games, but nothing heavy, and I am almost always connected to WIFI whether I am at my work or home.

They didn't lie. The results will vary, depending on what apps and settings you may have on your phone. Their tests would be based on the phone with it default factory settings. When you add apps to your phone, which adds services and background tasks, the phone is no longer running at it default setting. Reset the phone to factory before you apply your stuff and see what the results are. When you guys make blanket statements like this, you don't even remotely consider how changes you make to the phone effect its performance...FOR ANYTHING!

But the changes made to the phone due to added content doen't affect much performance to justify the difference in battery life.

Did you even read my comment ? I said it even drains battery at night when Doze is active. Do you have any clue how doze works ? The whole idea of doze is to disable services and background tasks.

Weather notification also drains more power because, even if the app itself may use 1% battery you have to consider other factors. Like weather stuff uses GPS location services. Which uses more power. People incorrectly use something and then complain about results. That's a good question. Why the heck do you need a phone on while sleeping. Are you gonna wake up every hour to check the time a weather? Also you said you leave it on at night. Ok. So why si it, the phone isn't charging? If the phone was plugged in, you wouldn't lose any charge. How about I think you're lying because the S only gets through a day on a single charge. You would have to charge the phone overnight. So you admitted that you didn't even plug the phone in at night because you claimed it lost 12% of its charge. - CHECK So lets see, it wouldn't lose any charge if it was plugged. And you admitted to having AOD on while you're sleep.- CHECK Looks like you're causing your own problem because you don't even know how to use a phone. The AOD concept was made to be use in a situation where you may not want to actually pick up your phone to see certain info. Like maybe you are in a business meeting, or maybe a theatre where it is dark. Not while you're the bed sleeping and the phone is charging. Its not an alarm clock. If you just want to have the time on. Why not just turn on the time to the curved side of the phone? Gosh you just embarrassed yourself.
