Oppo: Schedule Always-on Display Automatically

If your Oppo phone runs the Always-on Display around the clock, it keeps drawing power even while you sleep or leave the phone in a drawer. ColorOS lets you limit the Always-on Display to a fixed time window instead of showing it non-stop. Without a schedule, the clock and notifications stay visible on the lock screen at every hour, day and night.

Schedule Always-on Display auf Oppo

The Always-on Display keeps the clock, notifications and battery status visible even when the screen is otherwise off. Running it permanently costs extra battery, especially overnight when nobody is looking at the lock screen.

ColorOS solves this with a built-in schedule for the Always-on Display. Once set, the display only lights up during the hours you define, and stays fully off outside that window.

To set it up, go to Tap on SettingsTap on Home screen, Lock screen & Always-On-DisplayTap on Always-On DisplayTap on Always-On DisplaySet ScheduledSet the Start/End time.

Enter a start time for when the display should begin showing and an end time for when it should switch off again. A typical setup covers waking hours only, leaving the display dark overnight.

This schedule only controls the Always-on Display itself. It does not affect notification sounds, vibration or the lock screen you see after pressing the power button.

If you need the Always-on Display available at unpredictable times, for example during shift work, set the window wide enough to cover your full active period, or switch back to the always-on setting when your schedule changes.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Turning the display off for several hours a day, especially overnight, reduces the constant power draw compared to running it continuously.
