[Q] Turn off Haptic Feedback/Vibration while using TV app? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All,
Does anyone know a way to turn off haptic feedback for the Sense TV app. I love the app and it has since replaced my TV remote, the only thing is it vibrates pretty intensely with every button press. (Just about goes crazy if you try to go up and down quickly with the volume.) I'd like to be able to just turn it off, but have not found a way to do so. Also, I have haptic feedback turned off via the Sense settings, so I figure its a built in feature of the app that may have to be modified. Let me know what you guys think.
Also, if it matters, I'm running ViperOne and have not found a way to tweak it through there or Xposed either.
Thanks!

Check the xposed module "app settings" and revoke the permission Vibrate.
Hope this helps.

[Q] How to disable headset controls? (CM 10.1)

Hey,
To make a long story short; is there anyway to override and disable the headset controls? I've tried an app called Disable Autoplay (can't link because I just registered here) but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Use WizDroid from the Play Store, when you open the app turn wizdroid on by pressing the 'WizDroid is off' button and it will change to on.

That didn't work either
I guess 4.2 stopped WizDroid from working.

I'm hoping someone can figure this out, because I have the opposite problem and think this might give me an answer. My button controls for my headset stopped working, I want them to work again. I recently rooted my phone, and I think I might have disabled something that I didn't think would have any effect on my device.

[Q] Where the heck is the vibration option?

Having an issue with go sms pro which i'm sure some have had before; there is no vibration with notifications.
Now this is being caused because for some odd reason, system vibration is turned off, or so go sms says. There is no option in ANYWHERE to enable vibration in stock TW. I was able to fix this problem with my s3 by downloading a program called audiomanager, and setting it from within there, but as of new versions of this program, there doesn't seem to be an option for it in the free version.
So i come to you in a time of need. How in the world do i enable system vibration?! :crying:
Saw this on the tmobile website. Hope it helps:

If you go into messages>menu>settings>scroll down to notifications setting and make sure vibrate is checked...... The phone will vibrate even when you are in sound mode. I cant figure out how to make it vibrate only in vibrate mode for messages. Hope this helps!!!

I assume you're talking about default messaging app, and it only works for itself. If i want to use another app like go sms, i'd need to uncheck notifications in that little area, also disabling vibration.
There is a master setting that needs to be enabled for it to work in go sms, but it's no where to be found.

Did you check under setting>my device>sound>vibration intensity ?
Gonna revive this old thread for anyone who is interested in this fix.
I've tried everything in this thread and nothing worked. I decided to go to the play store and search "system settings" in hopes that someone might have made an extended settings app for this reason. I came across an app called "Smart Settings". This app allows you to create custom profiles that have an on/off toggle for notification vibration; something current touchwiz versions, if not all android versions lack. All you need to do is create a custom profile with notification vibration set to on, enable, then uninstall. There's no other app or system option that will allow you to toggle the master notification vibration setting, so 3rd party apps like gosms will work flawlessly. Switching between built in vibrate only and sound on profiles do not effect the master system vibration option.
I hope this helps anyone with this issue. It was a pain in the ass to find something that actually worked.

Success! Thanks so much, there was an app I had used ages ago that did the same thing but then they made it pro only. I didn't uninstall but froze through Titanium Backup so it's there when I get flash happy and need to restore the vibrate. Now I won't miss all my damn texts.
Glad this helped at least one person out.

Need help with which ROM to use. Input please~!

I plan to use my old note 2 as a carPC.
Will likely only be using it for media, GPS, and read my OBD2.
Needs to be compatible with the Tasker app (not sure if an issue or not) and the OTG-Y cable.
Need to be able to disable lock screen entirely, be able to have homescreen rotation, and on screen navigation.
Would appreciate any input!
TIA!
Alright, now I'm running LiquidSmooth 4.4.4
Has built-in option for on-screen navi. Working great.
Installed an app correctly named 'screen rotation' and does exactly what I need.
Enabled developer option so I could enable stay awake while charging.
Discovered I could disable the lock options entirely (sorry, company has had me on iPhone for awhile now).
Still trying to find something to allow double tap screen for sleep on/off. Recommendations please.
Going to test Tasker here in a moment.
Don't have an OTG-Y cable to test with this ROM. Can anyone confirm?

Check out the Xposed module named DoubleTapToSleep. It allows you to turn off the screen by double tapping on the status bar. It works pretty well. The original thread for it is below.

Thanks!
That looks like it would almost work. I still need to awake via tap as well.
All the buttons will be covered.
Only need it for night driving really. Quick and easiest way I can think of.

I haven't seen any apps that turn on the screen by tapping on it for a Samsung device. You could use an app that turns on the screen by tapping on the proximity sensor.

Any idea how to enable/show accessibility Services?

I have the Joying KK unit, and when I was trying out light flow app on it, I realized that this set does not show the accessibility/services option at all in settings.. so there's no way to let Light flow to be enabled in accessibility.
Anyone has had any idea how to enable accessibility of apps on this unit?

Start a new task in Tasker. Add task: Plugin, Secure Settings, Configuration, System+ Actions, Accessibility Services. Select the service you want from the drop down menu. Tap button for Enabled. Tap the save icon up top. Back out to Task Edit screen. Hit the play button, Done. Only needs to be done once.

It didn't get the job done.
After doing what you said, I opened the app (the one to which I wanted to grant accessibility service access) and tapped on the accessibility service button and then, the app crashed.
It doesn't even work for the Tasker itself. Tasker doesn't run tasks which need accessibility service.

How to Disable Screen Wake for Ring app

Hey all, my ring doorbell app wakes the screen anytime I get an alert. I want to keep the notifications on but don't want the screen to wake. It wakes even in my pocket which I want to of course avoid. It may just be a bug in the app but I should be able to limit that from happening. Or so I hope anyway.
I have tried the following.
1. Switched all notifications pertaining to the app and individual cameras to "sound only"
2. In the app I have disabled "alerts open full screen video"
3. I have disabled heads up notifications globally through ADB.
4. Disabled ambient display.
5. Disabled notifications on lock screen.
I'm at a loss on what to do next. Any ideas are appreciated at this point.
TIA

I've struggled with the same thing for months. It never used to do it, but after an update earlier this year it became the new normal for me.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully somebody chimes in with some sort of work around.
I'm having the same problem with a Sony XZ1 phone (Android 8.0.0). I spoke with Ring at length and it's 'apparently' a problem with my phone, not their App.
I think that's a load of rubbish and something they need to address and fix. I installed the App on another Android phone running an earlier version of software, the App installs with different options and doesn't wake up the screen. So it's obviously dependent on the OS version but as other Apps don't have the same problem I can only conclude that it's an issue with the Ring App.
Has anyone tried uninstalling the app and then install an older version from APK mirror? Not even sure its on there but it's worth a go

That's a great idea. There are plenty of versions to try on APK mirror, one or two per month from 2018. Not a good sign for a reliable and stable app.
I'll give it a go later unless anyone gets there first and can suggest a 'good' version to try
Were you able to find an older version that doesn't have the screen wake behavior?
edit: Pixel 2 - going back to 2.0.66.8 still has the screen wake behavior regardless of notification setting.
edit 2: 2.0.57.2 does the same thing...
Looks like the latest ring version finally let's you fix this. Select your devices, go to notification settings, then select sound only. The default is sound plus pop up. I no longer have the issue after making the change.
Can anyone confirm if turning off the 'plus pop' in the ring app settings works? I have a new pixel 3 on Android pie and the app is still turning on the screen at every alert event with settings set to just sound or just silent.
I'm having the same issue with the ring app. It wakes the screen. Really sucks when phone is in my pocket. I have tried every option and or combo of options. I have a pixel 3a on Android 10. Android 10 does have a option to wake screen for notifications found under display advanced, lock screen. But it is turned off
Still a problem on Android 10, No combinations of settings has been able to stop this for me. Of course Ring denies this even though I have sent a logcat to them.
