Always On images

Now that we can add an image to Always On Display, I am currently sporting a Superman logo.
Anyone else got any decent logos/images to use?
 
Must admit I'm a bit boring.

I want the time and date information with missed calls/ texts.

When you add an image is that All you see?
 
Mine looks a little like this. Logo doesn't look that big on screen but only way I could screen shot it

They move around. Lol.
It also turns off in pocket or when face down

True, but if you leave your phone face up and don't use it at all, AOD doesn't seem to move around at all (at least it didn't for me in the last 15 minutes?).

Unless I didn't wait long enough, it only seems to reposition itself after each time the screen turns off, so the only way to avoid screen burn is to switch your screen on+off again, which defeats the entire purpose of AOD.
 
The AOD battery is sooooo minimal that I barely notice any change at all with or without it on in my personal testing.

As far as screen burn, the AOD is moving, it's just not noticeable at 1 pixel per minute and this actually assists with the battery life from the previous version. If you mark it with paper or something and come back in 10 min. or so, you will notice the movement. Check here form April,2016:

Actually just tried this. I used two sticky notes to mark my AOD (I'm using the first clock option, with blue clock digits, and the blue squares background) I put one sticky note on the left side of the clock and one on the bottom of the clock. Did this at 8:15, and now 1 hour later, it hasn't moved at all. I have it here on my desk and have glanced at it about 100 times in the last hour. My old Moto Droid Turbo AOD moved around the screen all the time. A little too frequently in my opinion.

But it DOES cause additional batt drain ~1% per hour. Therefore i won't use it and i'm out.

I've lost 1% battery power, but also have received about 8 emails which have sound, vibration, and LED notification, so I'm not attributing the 1% drain completely to the display. Something is always draining the battery to some extent, so I don't think the AOD is anything to worry about.

As far as screen burn, I'm not concerned about that. I actually haven't been concerned about that since the days of using Windows 98 with a CRT monitor, when I used that awesome built in 3D maze screen saver customized to different plasma patterns for the floor, walls and ceiling!!! :cool: Let me tell you, that was pretty bad-ass!


But seriously, I've never personally seen or experienced any screen burn issues on any cell phone I've owned. I think if AOD would cause that, or serious battery drain it wouldn't be as popular.

Hmmm, I just did this to mine and it did move ever so slightly. If it's a pace of 1 pixel per minute in random directions, which would be max of 60 per hour, the movement is not noticed unless you are precise with measuring. I started mine out at the exact bottom of the 'battery' and '%' icons and it moved about 1/3 of the way up the lower '%' circle, which is not much, but it did move. Then around the 1 hour mark, it totally switched positions on the screen. Maybe yours isn't working correctly.

BTW, I also loved that 3D maze ss!!:D
