Always On Display : how to control with tasker

[Zecanilis]

Well,
One of the lacks of our G6 is the notification led.
And I hate with allways display being allways on....
Anyone knows a way we can task to turn on always on display only when we have a new notification?
I think it whould be great and very battery friendly!

There are some 3rd parties apps in play store, search ambient display.

 

[Zecanilis]

Ok. I will.
But I whould like to use the default allways on display, but with this settings!

Me too, I would prefer also an implementation more like ambient display with gestures.

Also interested in that feature. It would be awesome if the screen just comes on when there is a new notification. It makes no sense to have it on all the time.
I don't know why lg does not implement this feature but packs all the "second screen" menus from the v10 as hidden menus into the g6.
The g6 is awesome (even with 32gb, no quad dac and ir... come on lg... but i bought it anyways), but now i just found out how much i miss the notification led from my gnex and i can't tolerate excessive battery drain by having an lcd on all day when there is no new information.

What “exzessive battery drain“?

it makes sense to have it always on because
... In the pocket it is automatically off and also when it is lying on the front.

There is no battery drain. Test it.

Yes it switches off but for me it does not need to be on when there is no notification.
That would reduce the drain even more when >90% of the time there is nothing to be seen and if i want to see the time i can switch it on myself.
Just as an alternative to the missing notification led. Would be a very handy feature to minimize the backlight time and still see notifications and i am sure others would love that too.

Okay I agree with the LED. It is a fine feature.

I want AOD also for the time so it has to be shown.

Otherwise more customizations would be nice.
In your case "show only new notifications" for example.

LG has to consider that it should be not to complicated.

I was hoping we would get background images like samsungs on AOD.

Anyone to help with a tweak or something?

Of course there's a battery drain. It may be minimized but it's definitely there.

LG wouldn't include a switch for it in battery saver if it didn't.

This is what I found to Samsung devices :

This is what we need.
Just can't find the same tag!

Very good setting function if LG would add it, but they are going OLED in the future so they might not care enough sadly

The setting is not named aod_mode. If someone would find out what is this settings name, we could manage it with Tasker. I for sure would like to have AOD on, only when I have a notification.

Guess I'm on the other side of the coin, I think this complaint is ridiculous, I like the AOD notification or not, with the addition of an led notification it would better.. It doesn't drain enough battery for me to care, if you don't want to see it turn the phone over or keep in pocket. Unless you're creeping and don't your partner to see you have a text (lol) its a non complaint IMO.

Saw there was a dao_mode. Though it was this one, but no joy...
But will continue to try!

[Zecanilis]

Still trying, but still no luck!
Anyone to help?

I love the AOD. It was very annoying to doubt tap my Pixel every time just to see if there is a notification. Battery life is pretty good still. I can't see this using maybe 5-6% over a charge.
