[Q] Galaxy Note 2 goes into Silent Automatically

This is driving me mad.
My new Galaxy Note 2 randomly goes onto Silent mode. I thought it might be to do with motion so I switch all the settings off. Also there are two settings in display regarding motion and I've switched those off as well.
Still it goes randomly into Silent when I get back to the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or could it be a rougue app doing this?
I have read people complaining about this on the S3.
Thanks
Anis

Long shot, but... Did you check "lock mode" in settings?

Switch off your block mode if it is on in settings.

I think this is a builtin fault of system and it is with android since ICS

Thanks for the replies:
1) Don't know what you mean by Lock Mode?
2) Block mode is definitely not set.
It just did it again.

Sorry. My phone's language is Portuguese and I had to make a guess at the English equivalent. It is probably "block" as leony74 said. 6th entry on the Settings menu.

Sorry folks, I think it was my fault.
My Islamic prayer time app automatically put the phone in silent at prayer time.
Well, I am 99% certain it was this anyway.
I'll report back if it still is going into silent.
Thanks for all your help.

Exactly, Salati app was doing the trick, and the image confirm your theory.

Thanks for your reply, the problem was caused by our prayer app (Muslim prayers) so it turns the phone silent for praying time, i disabled it because sometimes i am not in the mosque so i need my phone on.

I finally found one of the possible reasons! It was avg antivirus app that was causing same problem in my note 2. Try uninstalling avg antivirus. It worked for my phone

[Q] Note 10.1 2014 edition keys do not answer

Hi. My new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition has a major problem: the Home button and back and menu buttons stop working from time to time. Same thing with the on off button that refuses to turn the tablet off. Happens randomly, whenever the pen is in or out. To turn off, I have to plug the tablet on charger, then hold the on-off button for many seconds. Rather annoying. Had the same problem with my other 10.1 2014.... that I scraped trying to change the battery. Any help will be welcome.

Hi,
Mine has the same issue. Reckon it is a factory defect.
However, I'm using Settings -> Device -> Accessibility -> Assistant menu.
With this function, found no problem to navigate around.
Or,
You can use "Pie Control (Pro)" app or "OmniSwitch" app
in order to use the softkey buttons.
Hope this is helpful for you.

YES! Thank you, it works. When I think that when the first 2014 edition had that problem, I was convinced it was a battery defect and I ordered one new. I opened the case following the instructions, but I was unlucky and I broke the connector behind the Home button. Then, trying to unbend (?) the bottom section, il really broke. I now have two spare batteries... Next time, I'll ask the specialists.

Intelligent unlock with 3rd party launcher or app

In the stock roms, the only way to lock the screen is with the power button. What I want to achieve is to lock screen screen like maybe double tap home button to sleep.
There are 3rd party launcher or app that could do this, however intelligent unlock is disabled and must use pin/pattern ect. There used to be a way to bypass device admin/security policy or something.
But anyway, how can I do this while using the stock roms? This is something the power of root can solve right?
EDIT: it's okay guys, found out RiCE roms allows this bypass somehow and it's close to stock, so gonna use this rom for now. I use 3rd party screen off app and set as assistance app, therefore hold home buttom for lock, kinda buggy but works I guess.

Nova Launcher can lock the screen with a double tap or whatever you choose
No way to bypass lock screen security that I know of (security risk) but you could just turn it off, it's about as safe lol

I use double tap off with Microsoft Launcher and intelligent unlock isn't disabled.

Question Dim lock screen notifications

After latest update the lock screen notifications are so dim that they cannot be read ,I am using dark mode. Also is there anyway to lengthen the time they are on screen because they are to fast. Regards

Can you give us a screenshot? I haven't noticed any problem. Thanks.

Thanks. How can I get a screen shot of the lock screen. Regards

Definitely noticed this after side loading the December update.

Volume Down button + Power button. Just make sure and Magick Erase any personal information before sharing.
That's the universal (at least on Android) method to take screenshots most anywhere.
New screenshot, with sample notification:

No I'm taking about the notification pill that comes on the lock screen for about 2 seconds. You cannot take a screen shot because it will wake up phone with the power button

Are you talking about the AOD? Mine is dim too since the December update.

I guess I don't know what you're referring to, but I wish I did. How about a photo of it using an old phone if you have one available? Do you use the fingerprint reader? If you don't, I'm not going to disable mine to try to reproduce the same issue, but anything I do that shows me the lock screen (tapping on the screen, pressing the power button), doesn't show anything dim for me for two seconds.

Ah! I see. I have AOD on but I'm using AODNotify's optional feature where I have it set not to show AOD except when I have a notification, and even then to minimize what to show.
Oh well.

Question Rainbow color while charging

Just got a OnePlus 11 and noticed this rainbow screen when phone is charging. Is anyone else getting that too? I can't seem to figure out how to stop this or change it.
Thank you.

It’s a screensaver. I Do not have this device or brand, but try searching settings for screen saver.

I have looked in all sections. There is no screensaver section. I had thought it was perhaps Google Ambient mode but it was not that either. Just weird.

Is it Day Dream?
Settings > Display > Day Dream and press off

No such setting. Still looking for a solution.

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same phone and same issue. No daydream no screen saver, can't find a setting to turn it off or change it.

Have you installed Google Clock?

Nope, this is right out of the box it started doing it.

Almost looks like when screen is messed up...try power down and plug in charger...see if get circle with lightening bolt

Clearly a software issue. Maybe a stock or third party launcher or different app settings, battery monitor/manager app?

Hey! Did you manage to solve it?
I'm having the same issue. The preferred behavior would be to turn of the screen with the same settings as when is not charging.
I didn't find any screen saver/ambient mode/colours option.
Thanks in advance!

did you enable this? if so, deactivate this then the display should also go off again when you Charge your phone

Nope, I have it disabled.
That option keeps the screen on when it's charging, but what it's happening is that the rainbow screen saver (I think the name is "colour") is showing up. With that option, the screen saver never shows up.
But thanks for your help!

If the item is not in the settings, then you can launch it through the Activity Launcher
