Battery current consumption test. Results.

after I connected an external battery through multimeter instead of a built-in battery, I received such current values ​​in different modes (values in mA):
Boot 300-800
Lockscreen / Media Scan 700-1200
load browser Dolphin 250-1200
browser idle 230-250
browser with sliding left and right panels 800
loading BIG forum page over EDGE 500-1200
over Wi-Fi 500-1600
Cool Reader day mode,
min brightness 210
mid 300
max 460
Cool Reader night mode,
min brightness 180
mid 200

screen on 300-700
screen off (proximity sensor) 120-160
Screen off, standby mode 1-2,
periodic bursts to 16.
with browser at background, bursts to 250-400

Sketcher, with totally white screen 650-700

1-2 mA in standby is very good! But as expected it uses quite a bit with the screen on and when we're actually using it. No surprise!

[Q] dim display idea

hello, actually there are 2 parts:
1. how can I use 2 timers for screen dim and screen off
2. how to have an "ambient" lock screen.
As for the second my idea is as follows:
When screen is off, turn it on using the smart cover settings (without the smart cover)
using very dim settings like ambient clock, or flashes like pulse notifications.
Anyone that can make it work, or tell me how to do it?
Thanks!

Always on display & edge night clock

Anybody know how to get the currant weather to display on one or both of the Always on display & edge night clock?

Any way to have a timer/stopwatch show up on the 2nd screen?

Realized this as I use a timer constantly at work - it'd be really useful to have it show the remaining time on the 2nd screen. Right now all that shows is a little hourglass icon, but I have to unlock the screen to see remaining time.

Same question for me as well. I currently have the Note Edge. My edge displays the countdown time on the edge screen. I was wondering if the V20 has the same capability on the second screen as well?

probably a bit off topic (but not too much)
I use the timer a lot and can't disable the vibration in it nor change the tune (both options are available in the Alarm)....any idea? Of course I'd like to have the timer on the second screen too.

Timer tone can be changed on a rooted device. I'm going to see if I can find Timer vibrate and maybe disable it.

Always On Display Setting

I had turned on the always on display shortly after setting up my new G6, and then a few days later I turned it off. However the setting keeps turning itself back on, usually overnight. I had turned it off yesterday, but woke up this morning to the display being on, and the setting set to on.
Starting to think I have a gremlin messing with me.

Go into your AOD settings and verify you didn't accidentally set up something the revolves around the time for your AOD to come on. See attached screenshot

Good call. I checked the "Daily timeout" and it was setup.
Turned it off and we will see if that stops it from turning back on in the morning.

I love the AOD. I was using the digital clock, but then changed to the analog clock. I like watching the red second hand. I also use the screen saver when wireless charging, although I feel more thought could have been put into it. The screensaver seems half baked to me, but it works.

How goes battery drain with this turned on?

I don't notice anything adverse.

I don't wanna start a new thread. But can you in any way customize the AOD? I don't need the battery icon shown there as it distracts a little from notifications. Any way to turn notifications and icons on/off?
And did you guys notice any serious battery drain when turning AOD bright instead of normal mode?

Whats the brightness selection, is it the overall brightness of the AOD? I think from default it's reasonable
