What is Reddit's opinion of Pixoff: Battery Saver?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

In addition to what other guy said, check out this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urysoft.pixelfilter) which really does turn off every second (or every third, or anything else you want) pixel and see how different it is to setting lower resolution. You can see the turned off pixels even if they are small

Yeah, just an overlay that puts a checkerboard patters of black over an app you want to darken. Every other pixel being off would reduce brightness by 50%. There are already apps that do this.

Just need to refine it for a per-app basis in split screen.

Yep, true based on the science behind it. Pixels turned off means they won't be powered, which means less power would be used overall.

This was why, there are apps such as: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urysoft.pixelfilter&hl=en

Basically, those apps will put up black pixels on the screen, to help you save more battery.

But, truth is... due to modern power management and etc reasons, the gain you get from using pure black actually isn't as much as it originally once was. Negligible actually... you're better off just opening Power Saving Mode or lowering the brightness.

Pixoff doesn't keep blacks black, but is able to create black dots for dim/power save and yellow tint for night mode.

Haven't used much personally though, as it's nagware.

Try (Pixoff)[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urysoft.pixelfilter&hl=en_US] , works fine for me!

You can't remove screen burn, once you go burn, you never go back.

You can however prevent it at all, or 'stop spreading' by using an app like this. It basically creates a pattern that switches pixels every 5 minutes so it can't burn to long on a static pixel and turns other pixels off. Helps reduce power usage too.

Isn't available for iOS, but they can't use these apps anyhow because they don't have amoled like screens. (no led pixels)

You could use an app such as this. It will put a grid of black pixels on the screen that can switch every minute or so. It’s actually made for saving battery on AMOLED devices but you can use it for that too. It means that single pixels are not used and when the grid switches, the next set of pixels is unused. That makes a burn in less likely at the least. The downside is that the screen is darker and less sharp the more black pixels you use, but the less pixels the more likely is a burn-in.

They let you lower CPU speed? I gave up on jailbreak as it's always seemed too restrictive. You should try do something like this for the iPhone X, it would bless X users.

Pixoff seems to provide "low battery mode" for AMOLED (black dots basically) while supporting night mode tint too.

Don't have an AMOLED device yet, so haven't tried.

If you've got an AMOLED screen then this app will help out with battery life.

Here's a Play Store link! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urysoft.pixelfilter

I personally haven't tried it but it looks like a good idea.

How does Pixel Filter compare with PixOff?

Op is talking about a turning off pixels like pixoff (it works by using filter) but with root

PixOff, this can help turn off some pixels
