Power Control Widget Settings?

Is there any place to change what options are on the Power Control widget? I've found settings to be kind of a pain on this phone so far...
I was having problems setting up Google Voice to control my voice messages. I kept getting "network is not currently supported for automatic set up". All I wanted to do is find where in the settings menu the Voicemail setting was...Why did they hide it in with the "Phone" app rather then in the actual phone settings menu? Took so long to figure that one out lol...

Yeah moving the voicemail was kind of silly. You can customize whats on the power widget by using a app named Widgetsoid.

No really, not a different customizable widget...
Is there a way to change the settings on an already configured Power control widget?
I used to go about adding a new widget and deleting the old one, but that gets tedious.
I thought I found the existing widget settings somewhere when I updated to cm7.2 but now I cannot for the life of me find it ANYWHERE
I just want to choose different brightness toggles, but I do not want to go through all of the data / wifi / sync combos again...

I'm on Verizon and it doesn't support automated setup but when I clicked the help it told me to dial *something and that fixed it right up.

Just use something like widgetsoid. The stock Power Control widget has its 5 toggles and can't be changed.

Answered my question!

Thank you for the answer to my question.. I wish the setting could be changed so you didn't have to install another widget control bar.
Question #2: Is it safe to remove the Original Power Control widget .apk so I can get rid of unused apps?
Thanks!

How do you get rid of this widget?!

Hi all.
I am at a loss. Running AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova Launcher. Out of nowhere yesterday, this Power control widget decided to add itself to the notification area. I dont even know how it got there and sure as hell dont know how to get it off of there. I know you can add it to one of the screens but did not know it can be added in that area. Does anyone have any idea where this setting is if it exists? I would like to know how to get rid of it before reflashing the ROM.
I know there is another set of toggles you can add which I had but then I was stuck with 2 power control widgets in the notification area. Thanks.

Try touching the settings button in your notification area

I did but then it adds or deleted another set of toggles on top of that one lol

In your app drawer find "Power Controls" and Uncheck the checkmark in the Notifications widget box, and press the pin button to turn it off in the accessibility menu.
Or
Uninstall the entire app

Thanks, man. That did it. I realized that I hid the app. Once I unhid it and unchecked that checkmark, it went away.

Stock Alarm Clock Default Settings Not Saving?

I set alarms a lot on the fly by using voice commands like "remind me to check food in 7 minutes" or "set alarm for 10 minutes". The problem I'm having is each time I create an alarm, I have to go into the alarm settings and change things like alarm tone, smart alarm >> off, etc. I can't change the defaults, I can only change one time single alarm settings, the defaults are always the same, "Walk in the forest alarm" alarm tone, and smart alarm >> on.
With my Nexus S 4G, I use to be able to press the menu button in the clock app and click a "settings" option which allowed me to change defaults but not on my Galaxy S III, the only options here are "sort by time" and "delete".
The section of the phone where the alarms are listed is in the Clock app. If there's simply no way to change the defaults I'm ok with installing a 3rd party app so long as I can create alarms via voice commands since I use it often as a timer for little things like 10 minutes to check laundry or 7 minutes till food is done cooking. So far I have not found an app that can replace the clock for settings alarms by voice command.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I did find this link which discusses this very topic, but it's old and appears to be abandoned. Unfortunately no solution was found: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html
I'm not sure if linking to other sites is frowned upon so please don't eat me

Anyone have any 3rd party suggestions for a voice enabled alarm clock?

Ok I think I finally found the information I've been looking for, will report back after testing: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/set-up-android-clock-work-voice-actions-31627.html
In case the site goes down, this is a quote taken from step 2. "Select an alarm clock app from the list that supports the "Set Alarm" voice action. Alarm Clock Xtreme, Gentle Alarm and Alarm Clock Plus all support Voice Action functions for Gingerbread, Android's 2.3 update."

Did you test these apps????
I was so glad to see smn mention this annoying problem with Samsung divises but you didnt come back to tell us if these apps work with the voice commands.
If you have any news, please inform.

Oh hey just saw this post. I haven't tested any of these programs I'm afraid. I started using custom ROM's shortly after this post and this hasn't been an issue with AOSP. However I have recently gone back to a Touchwiz ROM due to the fact that AOSP ROM's for the galaxy s3 are rife with bugs and lack any real benefit other than having the latest version of android and occasionally an exclusive feature or two (after half a year of flashing my ass off, AOSP is simply not worth it unless you're using a nexus device).
After looking for a solution again, I stumbled on this old thread and I'm surprised to see that this clear design flaw still hasn't been resolved without using a 3rd party program, fortunately these programs reportedly work with google now (google search) so I'll look around, test some out and report back when I find a winner.
I know the app Gentle Alarm is reported to work as stated here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html though I'm confident others like Alarm Clock Xtreme and Circle Alarm (which is free) should work as well.
-------------------
Update: Been using Gentle Alarm, all better now. It's a pay app, so I'd recommend trying out Circle Alarm first. I don't generally like having to install 3rd party apps to use instead of default ones but It's a small app and it seems to be fine. I'll report back if I notice any battery issues.

S7 edge user

Hello,
I'm S7E happy user but I just purchased OP3 for my girlfriend. Can I ask for few things, here?
- Alarm- is any way when home button pressed deactivate alarm in the morning? When she pick up phone in the morning while alarm ring accidentally she touch home button and then unlock the phone. and then takes ages to turn the annoying alarm off.
- Scheduled DO NOT DISTURB- I just cannot believe phones without this function still exist- what to do?
- Change system font- is it missing or I'm blind?
- DPI, any way for changing it without the root? Everything looks like has been made for DISABLE, blind 80y old person. It is JUST MASSIVELY HUGE.
- Nova's Tesla unread count badge is not working for FB messenger
- Pickup call- is any way of swapping annoying swipe to answer for just click icon or similar? When phone or finger cold there is no way of answering incoming call.
- What is the best browser with adblock (needs to be easy to temporary turn it off) and sync with google?
Thank you for all your replies.

- Not that i know off.
- Scheduled Do not disturb is a missing feature, but again we have a notification slider.
- Its missing indeed.
- Nope, but it takes 7 min to Rlroot and u dont void warranty.
- idk
- Not that i know off. Never had a issue with not beeing able to pick a call up in cold weather.
- I personally use chrome with this. With root it works better.

How about systemless root? Anyways u can root and change DPI and then remove root again.

I never done it before and little bit scared. Also I was just reading that OP3 is not dealing very well with changed dpi

I absolutly have no problem with my currently 420 DPI. If you are going to buy it i recommend using Freedom OS. Its basicly OxygenOS with a little bit more features such as: Adblocker, DPI etc.

No need to root you can use adb to change the dpi on the fly
yubrowser from the playstore is really good with built in ad blocking
The other ones like others have said cannot be changed afaik.

NetGuard works via the VPN API and doesn't require root/xposed/unlocked BL and works with any browser

So when alarm goes off you can't snooze with home button?

You can't. Home button- fingerprint unlocking your phone, alarm ringing like crazy and you have to go to notifications to turn it off. What a mess in the morning. iPhone alarm just stop when home pressed.

You can get scheduled DND functionality using an app. I use Silence Premium but they have a free version also.
Edit: Note that Google includes scheduled and other nice DND functions in stock Android but OnePlus delete this functionality from OxygenOS even though it is essentially stock Android. They delete it because they are too lazy to think about accommodating it with their hardware slider even though other manufacturers do it, most notably Apple.

Super. Silence premium do the job. Thank you.

Out of curiosity, how does Apple manage potential conflicts between physical alert slider and different software settings?
What setting does take over?

I don't own an iPhone so no idea but Silience Premium on the OnePlus 3 works exactly how I would expect. I.e. the slider always has priority. In the normal position the software can set priority mode on/off but the slider always sets it on if set and sets it off if toggled etc. When the app sets priority on the indicator goes on just like the slider so it is a true system setting thus we know that the stock DND could do it as well. I just don't understand why this simple and obvious behavior wasn't adopted by the OP design team.

How to change default app for Alarm clock

Hi there
I'm using "Timely" for setting up alarm rather then the default "Clock" app.
Now the thing is that alarms set via Timely do not show the alarm notification in the top left corner on the Notifications bar.
Note : All notifications are turned on.
Only alarm set via default clock app shows up on top left.
Also I tried to set Timely as default app but the option that says "Set as default" is greyed out and hence can't be used.
Would highly appreciate your help and thank you for your time.
Regards

Both of those things are working as designed. The system alarm notification is only generated by the system alarm app. Timely is responsible for it's own notifications. The Set As Default menu item is designed to show any intents the app is set to handle by default, and allow you to clear them, not to set the app as default for an intent. If you aren't pleased with the notifications Timely creates, you should address that to their support.

Noted, with thanks.
In this case Timely does not show any notification at all after the alarm is created, will contact it's developer.

It looks like Timely has some serious problems with recent versions of Android. Look at the reviews. You might look for an alternative. I use Alarmy. It works, although the notifications aren't reliable. At least the alarms are very reliable.

Yes, received an automated response from developer saying they are too busy due to apps popularity and can't respond.
I will look to use the in built Clock app.
Atleast it will work for sure.

I use Google's clock app instead of the Samsung clock app, and it shows the system alarm icon.

tested with my alarm app too. seems like a bug?

Have you allowed the desired app notification access? If it isn't allowed to add icons to the notification bar then it won't even if the developer of the app tries to fix it...
These are the new security settings for Android which seem to get tighter with every new iteration...
Sorry if I don't seem to be making much sense, only had a few hours sleep in the last few days...

Yes Notifications were on. I switched to Samsung default clock. Guess the less apps the better.
And thank you for your feedback.

As far as this can help, I recently switched to an android 11 device (also rooted) and am experiencing the same trouble: on my previous phone (sony xperia XZP, android 9) my favourite app AlarmDroid took hold of everything doing the following:
starting automatically
showing the clock icon on the upper bar
correctly playing its alarms
NOT showing in the app in the running apps list
Now, on android 11 happens this:
app does not start automatically
clock icon is shown only if app is running
app correctly plays alarm only if manually started
app shows in running app list: if you close it there it will STOP working and you have to restart it manually
COnsidering that AlarmDroid is quite stable/seasoned code, it looks like woes are due to android 11, which, also, does not show an option to change the default alarm app.
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks
