Is there a way to send a signal to your phone to power it on? I know that the company Asurion can do this. It is a new feature now. I have heard about this here and there but never have looked into it.
Wrong section should be in q&a
from my phone duh
Maybe remote in ssh style or wireless adb and give the command shutdown.

Not possible unless the phone isn't really off. If just the screen is off, sure, it's very easy. Check out WebKey for full remote control of your phone.
Take a step back and look at what you're asking:
You want to turn on the phone, using the cell radio, while the phone and said radio is off. Quite simply, this is impossible unless you have the phone turn itself on to check-in for a "turn on all the way" message. What Asurion does is tag the phone and send it commands, but they can't do that if the actual phone is off and/or the battery pulled out.
You're cellphone is never truly "off" unless the battery is removed from the device.
There is likely a way to do it, but this guy **points thumbs at self** does not know how.
http://news.cnet.com/2100-1029_3-6140191.html
Granted its an old article, but still gives light to what is possible.
And to the OP, I know what you are in reference too... I remember reading a while back that if a powerful enough signal is provided to a device the article was about wirelessly charging batteries from a far distance using towers rather than things like the touchstone and powermat type devices, and the device is able to interpret the signal and activate certain processes, it was in fact possible to charge wirelessly from a-far.
Same concept would be applied, but it would require a downloaded application to run 24/7 on your phone (on or off), unless you powered down by use of battery removal.
Why's everyone so quick to say that this is impossible? If it's impossible, how come with some phones, when the phone is off and an alarm is set, the phone will power on for the alarm to go off. I've seen it done. I'm sure a similar method could be used.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is imposable. I have read a few articles back in the day and even talked to a guy that worked in government security one day (I was selling him a phone) He was a manager over a department where all they do is watch for hackers all day long over networks for all sorts of corporations likes banks and what not. (there is a whole lot more to it than just that) Anywho, When I found out what line of work he was in, I could not help but ask him all sorts of questions. It took him a while to answer even start to answer them. We became buddy buddy I suppose enough for him to shed a little light on a few of mine. When I started asking him a couple of questions about some things I have read bout cell phones he was very very vague to the point where it looked like he was trying to tell me things without actually telling me. I was only able to get him to clearly answer one thing. I was asking him about GPS's in phones. He basically told me that most manufactures put many different alternate ways to access things on a cell phone. (did not specify what) He acted like it was government required or something. (Which I doubt) but he went on to say that there is a signal that you can send most phones that will send a GPS location back to the phone even if the phone is off. After he told me that I asked him about powering on the phone itself or powering on a direct (call) connection without the phone even coming on. (I have ready some pretty weird things) he basically was like "look there is no way around anything unless the battery is out of the phone, that's all I'm going to say" And I was all like "ok man". I also work for a phone company. Which is where I heard about Asurions new features. One of them which they claim, can wirelessly turn a phone on if it is off and the battery is not dead and call it for you or located it if you have lost it.
Which is basically why I am here asking these questions.

What's the point of this anyways. I never turn my phone off, there is no need to.
This is for when you might have lost your phone or if someone stole it and had it off.

Are you really trying to make fun of me?
Your the guy that bought an EVO from a dude that claimed he got it at best buy without checking the ESN. Then you come on the boards and ask how to activate it because it's not working. Then you start a whole new post asking if you can flash an EVO that has been flashed to cricket, back to sprint..... go away dude.
No relevant knowledge to post but i sure as hell want somebody to check into it.
Im expecting a tutorial by the end of this week. Guys get to work!!!!!!!

The phone is not off then. It's asleep. Big difference. Here's a simple test. The night before an important job interview/test at school/whatever, set an alarm. Hold the power button and choose "Power Off" from the menu. Go to sleep. See what happens.
I've had the Nexus for about 2 weeks now and been impressed with it overall.
Which comes to the biggest mistake I've made now. I left the phone on the table and my sis's kids were in the house. Before you get any ideas they did not drop it. However, when I caught my nephew with the phone it was rebooting. I was wondering how he managed to do that considering I had screen lock enabled with a PIN.
In any case, when restart completed everything was blank. Somehow he managed to do a factory reset. All my programs were gone. All local data wiped out.
Good thing most of my apps were back in a few minutes but lost quite a bit of other stuff.
Lesson: Never leave phone unattended.

I guess he found his way into recovery and wiped? lol.
I bet he hit one of those magical bottom combinations which only kids know that happen to be the right one for factory reset lol

Thanks for the welcome.
It's either a combination or perhaps too many tries on the PIN?
I'm guessing the latter because I've got office email sync and it required permissions on remote wiping etc.

Too many incorrect PIN attempts will force a factory reset? If that's true it is a HUGE design/security flaw.

If you really want to piss someone off, you can take his phone when he's not around and simply throw it out of the window.
So, we should not leave our phones in a place where someone may wanna piss us off.

That would only make sense in this context if the phone was somehow attached with a lock, and after repeated failed attempts to pick the lock the phone would catapult itself out the window.
Has anyone noticed that, for all its pixel density, there is some really poor-looking emphasis on edges? Lots of places throughout the stock UI, fonts, icons, etc, will have their edges brighter than the rest of the object. What's more is this is not uniformly applied, so you wind up with some words or icons having this edge detection going on, and in other places, things look properly "flat".
Frankly it makes this "beautiful" screen look really ugly, since the UI it displays looks really ugly.
You may be talking about the over sharpening issue that's been discussed to death on these forums. Hopefully LG fixes it with an OTA update, or we get it fixed with ROMS.

Hoping for an OTA fix is a pipe dream. LG will not fix this since they will consider that they put a lot of hard work in to over sharpen their UI. Not your UI, their UI, for their phone. Not your phone. So that will never get fixed.
That, combined with the hilarious decision to put the buttons on the back, which no software can address, just kind of leaves some glaring issues. Issues? No, too soft a word. Let's just call them what they are. Errors. Errors in judgment, errors in design, whatever. They got it wrong.

Lol, buying a device with buttons on the back...just to come on xda and complain about buttons on the back? Okie
As far as the screen sharpness, they do need to address it somehow because black text are indeed awful (not to the point i will complain about them awful though)
Should have done your homework before buying a device that OBVIOUSLY came with buttons on the back though...considering it was flashed all over the internet so you cannot say "oh i bought it and realized buttons were on the back" lol

You have it, it just doesn't bother you. Good for you, my eyes are pretty sharp though and don't need LG's help in that regard. Button placement? Sure. Sure I knew that beforehand. That does not mean it's my error. It's still LG's error. See, I can't really use this thing before I purchase it. They have display models in stores, but the backs (and often the sides) are covered in whatever anti-theft anchoring the store uses. It's not until I get the device home, have it in my pocket, that these usability errors can really make themselves felt. It didn't bother me while the device was in my hand, I thought, well, maybe I will just learn, in time, where my fingers should go. Fine.
But then, and imagine this scenario as being one I cannot replicate in a store with a demo model, the phone was laying face side up on my desk, and I wanted to turn the volume down. Or I wanted to turn the screen off. I can do that without picking the phone up with just about all other phones in the world. Inconvenient. This is a small issue! This is not a big deal. But. But I paid $600 for this, I am not supposed to have to put up with some minor inconvenience, is how I see it. For their flagship phone, the top of LG's current heap, they shouldn't have got any "small issues" wrong. But they did. They got this wrong. And while people replying to this thread seem to want to forgive LG, and that is your prerogative, I refuse to do so.
Doesn't your phone have knock code to switch the screen off? Or have volume controls in the notification area?

Anyway, the screen looks terrible and the big beautiful screen is the biggest selling point (or am I wrong on this? some argue camera...).
I wouldn't return the phone because the buttons were on the back and yes, "lol", I knew they were there before, during, and after purchasing it.
The big beautiful screen turning out to be not very beautiful, now that, that I could return a phone over. There's not even an option to disable the over-sharpening. Tell me that is not a design failure.

Including but not limited to. Sharpening is an issue, but since you cannot disable it, and since it is not by default enabled across all text rendering, not in all apps, etc, it's not uniform. The UI winds up non uniform. The entire graphical feel of it seems mixed and weird. So it made me feel like the display itself was not that great. I actually wondered if there was something physically wrong with my screen. Or, since it was not a uniform problem, was it only one part of the screen that was perhaps damaged or something.

First, to your last post, the hardware buttons no software can address?
Tweaksbox can, they are hardware buttons like all others, it doesn't matter where they are on the device.
Turning the device off while flat on the table? Double tab the statusbar (yes, works with every launcher and in any app).
Sound: volume slider within notifications?!
If it's that much of an issue for you, swap it, simple as that, i do like having the buttons on the back, why? I can't press them by accident while gaming and i love the feel of having just the edges while in hand.
Last but not least, the oversharpening is your point, i don't really notice it and really like the screen, but that doesn't matter, that's just me, but anyways I'm pretty sure there will come an update for it, if not, that's xda, the bootloader unlock is almost released, there will be a fix for that, because, you know what, it's our device and we can mod the hell out of it if we like to. Every flagship has it's flaws, there isn't any perfect device on the market, if those of this device bug you too much, swap it for another, maybe those flaws you can stand.

Buttons on the back is not an ERROR its lg DESIGN go to the lg 2 you will see, it wasn't thought over night...do not place your dislike on lg "error"
over sharpness been talked to death as it is. I never understand why people complain, don't like something return it. Its that much of an issue? return it. since I have gotten the phone I have only touched the volume keys for one, and only one thing....to take screen shot. Knock on puts the phone on for me, a simple double tap. If I want to be fancy, I can use the knock code or w.e the hell they call it. I only need my volume on two things, silent, vibration and sound...if its too loud notification is there to reduce it or voila...the buttons on the back a simple press will fix it.I do not need to move my hand in any weird kind of a way to do anything, I do not accidently have to press on the volume keys like i have done so many times.
The screen is beautiful without auto brightness. The oversharpness is batter of taste...you will either like it or you will hate it. You obviously hate it so very simple, return the phone instead of beating on the same dead horse. The screen is awful? we knoooooooooooooooooow from xda and all over the net and all over google + and every social media....the text are sharp? we knoooooooooooooooooooow...go return the phone.

I have not seen this before... am I missing something? what is boostcharge tools? ;
It's part of the Clean Master app that came preinstalled. I'm not sure if it's bogus or not, but it claims that it regulates the charge cycle so that you don't overcharge your battery. If that's true, I don't want to disable it, since that's a nice feature, but I certainly don't want these godawful ads every time I unlock my phone while it's charging.

That's exactly what the charger does by itself. Basically you're letting them show you ads in exchange for showing you what the charger is doing. Feel free to uninstall Cleanmaster and freeze the app, it won't harm your battery health at all. You can still use Asus' RAM clearer with Cleanmaster frozen.

As he said. This is done by every charger on every damn phone. Nothing the app can do. Stupid scareware tactics. They could even get sued for such claims.. if someone bothered to file a lawsuit that is
cleanmaster just can be useful to clean junk..other than that, its a crapware..i removed it since the first day i bought my zf2..
Just swipe the ad to the left and it will close. Ads haven't shown up after I've done that.
It appears all the Chinese care about anymore is loading their phones with junk, ads, spyware, malware anymore. It's sickening. My Lenovo K3 note even came with Trojans on it, according to malwarebytes.
Can anyone help, I am getting a similar issue on my Galaxy Note 4 and it is killing my phone!!! It looks a bit different to this 1 (I don't know how to post a picture on here?)
My phone is now Really slow, all the time! Unlocking the phone is also a torture as I have to swipe away this charging/lock/add screen then get my security screen and enter it before my screen times out and goes black. As my phone is slow u can imagine this is a torture!
I have tried to find the app and can't find it anywhere. I know all the apps that show up in app manafer and it's none of them. Unless it is hidden within an app or somewhere in my OS now? I have tried multiple anti-virus/malware apps and none of them find a problem.
How to I find it and get rid of it? Please help!

Its sort of an override if you will. But it works like a charm. My replacement phone has a nice screen but a phone will never decide for itself what I will see. I own it and it will do as I say.... And I say 100% brightness or hammer...
Give it a try, it will keep your phone at 100% no trouble. Let me know what you think. I've been using it for a long time on my G3.
Hey man thanks for that response. I really appreciate that. I'm going to check it out now. Wish lg wouldn't have went that route.

You are most welcome. Let me know how it works out or if you need any help with the settings.
Seems to be doing the trick

Nice! The biggest trick us to throw LUX into manual mode and leave it at 100%
