What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up
You're viewing a single thread.
I loved the notification light, I had mine programmed to have different colors correspond to different types of notifications and it would buzz at me in response to being picked up as well if I'd missed a call or text.
I got an app called Always On Edge where you can do literally just that and you can also choose for the entire edge to flash or glow or keep the old virtual dot, change the colors and interactions based on which app it was, and more.
Highly recommend it.
Ooh, thank you I will check that out. That sounds great.
New phones have always on displays where you can configure them to show any info you want
They're not all that configurable and it's always a wall of useless text notifications and it's hard on battery life, 100x less useful.
No. Not what I want.
I use AODnotify to effectively do the same thing. It animates a ring around either the display (when the screen is "off"), or the camera cutout when it's on.
