Always-on display rotation - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

hello,
Is there any way to rotate the always-on display to landscape mode ?
It was available on S10 i believe but i can not find it on Note 10+.
Having the case spigen crystal clear with stand included (essential S), it would be nice to be able to read the darn clock ...
Thanks !
EDIT : sorry, found it !
We have to activate the rotation of home screen in landscape mode first, and then the option portrait/landscape will appear in always-on display menu (in clock style menu).

Replying to my own thread, because it does not requires to enable landscape mode on home screen.
Just have to go to Always on display parameters -> Details -> Click on "Always on display" (left from its button on/off) and then scroll down for rotation option landscape or portrait...
It is sad that it does not detect automatically landscape/portrait. The setting must be changed manually everytime

The point is to see the AOD clocks horizontally.

I can rotate it to portrait or landscape on my Note 10+
???
Double tap the AOD clock to bring up settings...

The point the OP is trying to make is you shouldn't have to bring up the settings to rotate the AOD clock.
This is something that Samsung needs to address in the next update as I'm sure it wouldn't be just the N10+ that has this issue...

If it was automatic it probably eat excessive power. Not a big deal.
As is it eats about 1% an hour of the battery when running at night at minimum brightness.
Or it could simply be the rapid box of gerbils at Samsung overlooked it along with the all the other flagship goodies they forgot. This being the least of them.

I said Automatic

Yes… having the AOD to autorotate would be great indeed…

Almost October 2021 and still no automatic rotate!

This is nit picking, I think. You even have auto brightness.
Likely due to having it would cause excessive power consumption.
Large sections of the mobo/chipsets are asleep with the screen off. It may be simply impossible to do due to hardware without severe consequences to power consumption.
You can alter firmware but not the physical hardware... not everything is adjustable!
Pick your poison, portrait or landscape

Does anyone know if the setting can be accessed through something like tasker or Macrodroid? I checked the Macrodroid list of 'System', 'Secure', and 'Global' settings and didn't see anything that might be the orientation?

Quick brightness control

I came from the Epic 4G, and really, really miss this quick brightness control by holding and sliding along the status bar, a Samsung customization (I believe).
There are a lot of solutions out there, tried a few, and decided I really liked this one in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel
If you're a manual brightness dude like me (auto drives me nuts), give this a whirl. I put it down in the dock no GO Launcher, and I think I actually like it better than the Sammy feature on the Epic -- in addition to full control with a slider, there are some canned levels @ 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% that you can set with a button press (see screenshot). Most of the time, 0, 25, and 75 are good settings for me in different conditions.
Sure beats going through the settings menu tree!

Sammy had it the best. I'm dying without that slide on the notification bar. It's so much easier when you don't have to jump to the home screen or settings.

Agree completely. Hopefully a dev will implement a similar mod for the GN (not port and steal it from Sammy, unless it is in the public domain under the GNU license, in which case, port it over!!!)
In the meantime, the widget I found, which is free, comes about as close as you can get.
How about this?
The blue line underneath where it says brightness means that auto brightness is enabled, when it isn't the line to the right of it turns blue instead
Ive used a curvefish brightness control app on my DInc for a while. and Works great on my GNex
I use quick settings app.

Suggest you try 'OneClick Widget' by Wedroid. You can just tap the widget to go through 5 levels of brightness. Works like a charm. The pack includes widgets for other functions like airplane mode, wifi on/off etc. Widgets are customisable for colour and size. Works a treat.

Disable autoRotate = Screen flips backwards!

Ok, So on my one x(and a second one), when i disable auto rotate, the screen flips over (so the notifaction bar is at the bottom near the buttons)
- this happens on both my phones, from 2 different networks
Notice the auto rotate widget, when it is on / normal the screen looks fine
but when i disable auto rotate it goes backwards!
(ignore the cracks )
normal:

Could anyone else try disabling auto rotate via the htc widget and see if the same thing happens?
-G-sensor calibration does not help
-if you power of the phone, then turn it back on while the screen is upside down, it comes on the right way, but flips backwards when you re-enable auto rotate
could anyone please try disabling auto rotate on the phone and see if the same thing happens?
thanks
Disabled it just now, no problem whatsoever

I have the same problem!
It just happened one day and it's been the same since... even after multiple OTA-updates.
I have to have auto-rotate enabled for it to be normal.
Has anyone found a solution for this?
I can't remember how mime got fixed!! It was ether the .29 its update or when I rooted and put a custom ROM(+kernel and everything) on it, so It is definately not a hardware issue
Mine stopped after a reset. Well I also rooted it then, but still at the standard rom.

Automatic Power Saving Mode is still deactivating notification vibration at 15%

Just like with the old firmware, as soon as your watch gets lower than 16% Power Saving Mode activated itself deactivating stuff like Ambient Mode and reducing the brightness. And it also turns both the display turn on when a new notification gets in as well as the vibration off.
You can turn this mode off again after it got activated but there is no way to permit that it gets activated at 15% in the first place and unless you scroll through your notification by chance you probably not realizing that it's on.
Am I the only one that find that implementation unacceptable?

How do you turn this power saving mode off after it has been activated ? It's driving me crazy too. Below 15% the watch becomes useless.
Well, it still displays time...

Swipe left to right, you then get the option to deactivate power saving mode. But it's per time; better would be to give the options in settings if we want it to go into this power saving mode.

Strange, it doesn't work for me. If I swipe left to right I don't get any option (latest update 1.3).

Thank you very much
It seems to last an extra 1.5 hours with Power Save disabled. Just what I needed to finish the day in always-on mode.

Double Tap quickly turning off screen after tapping

When I double tap the screen it gets on but it also quickly gets off even before face unlocking the screen.
Specs :-
Android Q [10]
Rom MiUi 12 [IN-Stock]
Launcher Microsoft Launcher
Root - NO
Bootloader - NO
Try using the Double Tap app. You can adjust it's tap parameters. 2x tap on/off.
Runs flawlessly on Pie and Q.

Why? Double Tap needs no internet connection, freeware, uses almost zero battery... a perfect app. I use in in preference to my Samsung double tap option because it works better.

It's not the matter of resources, I generally prefer to use built-in options because they will be better optimised, trusted. The problem might be in proximity sensor because while making a call it automatically turns-off the screen. Intially I thought screen on sensor might be dirty but after cleaning the results are same.

I use whatever comes in handy.
You can firewall block this app if you want but it doesn't matter, in over a year it's never tried to access the internet. It doesn't even use enough battery to register usage. I don't have a screen lock so no permissions are needed, otherwise it needs to run as a System Administrator.

Question Dim lock screen notifications

After latest update the lock screen notifications are so dim that they cannot be read ,I am using dark mode. Also is there anyway to lengthen the time they are on screen because they are to fast. Regards
Can you give us a screenshot? I haven't noticed any problem. Thanks.
Thanks. How can I get a screen shot of the lock screen. Regards
Definitely noticed this after side loading the December update.

Volume Down button + Power button. Just make sure and Magick Erase any personal information before sharing.
That's the universal (at least on Android) method to take screenshots most anywhere.
New screenshot, with sample notification:

No I'm taking about the notification pill that comes on the lock screen for about 2 seconds. You cannot take a screen shot because it will wake up phone with the power button
Are you talking about the AOD? Mine is dim too since the December update.

I guess I don't know what you're referring to, but I wish I did. How about a photo of it using an old phone if you have one available? Do you use the fingerprint reader? If you don't, I'm not going to disable mine to try to reproduce the same issue, but anything I do that shows me the lock screen (tapping on the screen, pressing the power button), doesn't show anything dim for me for two seconds.

Ah! I see. I have AOD on but I'm using AODNotify's optional feature where I have it set not to show AOD except when I have a notification, and even then to minimize what to show.
Oh well.
