[Q] Lollipop silent mode - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife doesn't care at all about what version of Android her phone runs. She typically wants nothing to change once she gets used to something.
With the Lollipop update did Samsung re-enable normal silent mode? I ask because if they didn't my wife will probably throw her phone at me if I update it, lol. If they didn't I'll simply skip the update and she won't care at all to never have Lollipop. For security and bug fix reasons I like her to be up to date if possible though.

Silent mode is there, I believe I just read it in one of the threads under general.

Yes. Just tap the sound toggle twice and the phone will be in silent mode.
Tap once, vibrate mode
Tap twice, silent mode (mute)

Yes they are silent mode is gone

I was under the impression that mute/silent was gone on lollipop? And only blocking remained. People are confirming that silent does still exist? I am in the same boat of not upgrading if mute has been removed.

Silent mode (mute) does exist in the TouchWiz lollipop build.

[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] TouchWiz ROM freezes when unlocking in landscape mode. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I am running the TBS4 ROM and my device freezes when I do the following:
1) open any app (for example, the play store)
2) turn the phone so the app rotates into landscape mode
3) turn off the screen
4) turn the screen back on
5) the phone is now frozen and all you can do is hold the power button or pull the battery
Any ideas? I'm hoping it's just a setting I can change or an app I can uninstall. I don't think I have any special apps that could cause this. Any ideas?

im not sure if a fix or work around is available....and im not positive that thats what is causing the freeze...but i have seen that the aosp lockscreen can cause issues on some roms...
i would change it and see if that works. if it does you might wait around for bilgerryan or some other dev to see this thread and lend some knowledge...sorry i cant be more help
No fix, just don't use it if it causes lockups... It only works for like 50% or less and causes problems for everybody else

Alright, thanks. I'll just leave my rotation locked until I get annoyed enough

Automatic Power Saving Mode is still deactivating notification vibration at 15%

Just like with the old firmware, as soon as your watch gets lower than 16% Power Saving Mode activated itself deactivating stuff like Ambient Mode and reducing the brightness. And it also turns both the display turn on when a new notification gets in as well as the vibration off.
You can turn this mode off again after it got activated but there is no way to permit that it gets activated at 15% in the first place and unless you scroll through your notification by chance you probably not realizing that it's on.
Am I the only one that find that implementation unacceptable?

How do you turn this power saving mode off after it has been activated ? It's driving me crazy too. Below 15% the watch becomes useless.
Well, it still displays time...

Swipe left to right, you then get the option to deactivate power saving mode. But it's per time; better would be to give the options in settings if we want it to go into this power saving mode.

Strange, it doesn't work for me. If I swipe left to right I don't get any option (latest update 1.3).

Thank you very much
It seems to last an extra 1.5 hours with Power Save disabled. Just what I needed to finish the day in always-on mode.

Nokia 8.1 notifications bug

I am having an issue with Nokia 8.1. Whenever an app post its notification on my locked phone and I do not care to see what the notification is. The phone keeps on pinging after equal interval of times (5-6mins) to see the notification.
I am not able to turn it off from the settings as-well. Is this a bug or a feature in Android P or something else ?
How can I fix it ?
Apple does this in their phones but it only pings twice for an unseen notification. My Nokia does it until I unlock my phone.
go to settings, display, advanced, ambient display, notification, there's an option there u could either turn notifications off completely, or set it so it would only show up once.
lemme know if this fixed ur problem
I have the same issue. It's annoying.
Here is a screenshot of what's in settings/display/advanced/Ambient.

Does anyone know how to disable the notification reminders? They are really annoying.

It's all good. I deselected the slider marked "New Notifications - wake screen when you receive notifications" and no more annoying reminders.

On exactly 2 minutes
If you are talking about Settings -> display -> Advanced -> Ambient display -> New notifications then the Nokia 8.1 allows you to set the notification alert interval only once and that too when you set your phone for the first time. Once you set it, there is no way you can change it. I had contacted Nokia customer care about this in January but till March update this issue is not resolved.
