[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mdfpido:
Good morning guys.

I'm here to report back to you my findings about AOD's battery consumption over night. Remember I posted a couple pages ago that AOD doesn't make our phones go into deepsleep, but the battery consumption is so minimal that it is unnoticeable. Then I didn't charge my phone last night to see if it will survive on 50% battery backup.

The result is no surprise. ?

First pic above is my battery backup by the time I go to sleep at 11.48pm last night, which at the time sits at 19%.

When my wife's phone alarm rings at 5am, I woke up and looked at my phone and found out that it's off. I thought to myself, "man it didn't survive." When I picked it up I accidentally bumped the screen and it turned on showing me my beautiful AOD (albeit, battery-hogging AOD) with battery left at 5%. Then it disappeared again. I touched the screen and it comes back on again.

Findings: at 5% battery, maybe this is the phone's way of saving its own battery life so it won't die, but AOD is back on blinking mode once the phone is low on battery. This is ShinTo kernel v3 which has a fixed AOD that doesn't ruin our Note 7 experience (unlike the first AOD fix that was posted here by someone that [MENTION=744557]oluwaponmile[/MENTION] warned that, yeah it fixes AOD but you'll lose Google On Tap and so many other frameworks, and it only works on Stock UI so should you choose to install it, you'll go back to stock UI, which I didn't like.) so I don't know if AOD should behave like that - turns itself blinking when you only have 5% battery - you know, to conserve battery. If that's how AOD originally works, then that's fine. Very, very interesting.

Second pic shows my battery usage during when I posted my BetterBatteryStats pic last night at 50% up to this morning at 5% when I woke up. So here we can see a steady decline on my battery life because of AOD.

Third pic shows that even with AOD on, I still managed to eke out a 2H SOT out of only 50% battery life. That's why I thought even with AOD, you can still manage to use the phone normally (without gaming). I wonder how much SOT I could squeeze out of a 100% battery with AOD on. Hmm.

Fourth pic shows that my phone never gets into deepsleep with only 3% sleep time. Lol. Notice it's losing 6.3% battery per hour.

Last pic shows you why it doesn't go into deepsleep! Everybody say it with me, "A-O-D."

Now there's a topic that I wanted to touch on here that a lot of drama queens here are crying about, it is the question of whether or not ShinTo kernel is worth it's weight in gold when it comes to worthiness to be in our phones. Look, if AOD is not your thing because, at least as of now, it's still a battery-hog, then turn it off. It's not like when you have ShinTo kernel installed, you're sh*t out of luck when it comes to AOD as if it will be permanently and irrevocably turned ON whether you like it or not, right? Why miss out on other good features like tap to wake and great battery life by moving to another kernel when a simple switch turns OFF your AOD? But then, you paid for your phone, you have the final say about it. To each his own. I will post in another test how great the battery life is - deepsleep, SOT, the whole nine - when I turned OFF the AOD on ShinTo kernel.

(People who's having trouble with attaching pics here on XDA on ShinTo kernel, well, let my attachment speak for themselves. ?)

I took a video of the blinking AOD this morning. Again, maybe it's designed like that to save battery life so it won't completely shut itself to death just to show you the clock! Haha.
