I can't figure out what is setting the lockscreen to glow every so often ... I've yet to time it. It's not my lockscreen, but a new looking thing with the time and missed notifications including current battery life. I actually like it, but can't figure out where to control it. Only started happening today following the software update.

To be a little more detailed, the feature is called quick glance & it is activated by reaching towards the phone (specifically towards the top where the proximity sensor is) when the screen is off.
I also like the feature, but have found that it is not quite sensitive enough. Often I have to wave my hand many times to get it to activate. But it is indeed a nice idea that could potentially save some battery life as it does not require turning on the device & powering the entire screen to check if you have any missed items.
ah - thanks! I must have brushed by the camera or something ... now I see how it works. handy!
Long time user of Timely ...didn't need anything fancy, just a reliable alarm that would gradually increase the alarm volume and a reasonably attractive interface to simulate a nightstand clock.
Apparently Marshmallow has messed up some of the notification processes within Timely and it now frequently stops working. I've looked at the large number of replacement apps without anything really seeming to be decent. I tried the built in Android clock and this morning, it didn't alarm. I'll gladly purchase an app that will work.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advacne.
I think you need to turn off the battery optimisations (doze) for timely. Settings > Battery > Overflow menu : Battery Optimisation

Thx. I'll give that a try.
Take a look at this thread, they describe the same problem with 3rd party alarm apps and a solution. https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/3t3dwl/doze_adjustments_and_clarifications/
The solution is not disabling battery optimization for the app, it's enabling priority notifications for the app.
Doze sucks, saves our battery but makes our smartphones dumb.
Doesn't the stock clock app achieve your requirements now (gradually increase volume and night mode)?

Functionally it does, however the font size is smaller and I don't care for the changing clock position on the screen Just personal preference.
I'm using timely from the day I got the 5X, haven't had any issues at all
I am using Alarm Clock Plus .... works great as always.
Using timely on nexus 5x. no problems here either.
i would just clear the cache of that app and reassign all alarms again to see if that fixes it. when in doubt clear your cache lol
There's an app in the Galaxy app store called good lock. The notification shade gets changed to more of a stock Android look and the lock screen has more customization options. After you download it installs itself like an update. Has anyone else tried this?
Notification shade
Just updated it, one step closer to looking like AOSP. I wonder if this is the new version of Touchwiz or just an alternative.
It's not very good looking. Needs to have options to change the colors.
Good thing its optional.
You can change the colors. In the routines settings.

Where do I find the routines settings?
Edit: I found it
Yeah I like it a lot, found it much faster and smoother then stock hope this is a tease of things to come. Only thing I found was motion wallpaper does not work. I have found most people dislike the recent apps but I find it faster and easier to use.

It was just released. I figure it can only improve, especially after they sift through all the initial feedback.
I uninstalled for now until they sort out the bugs. Was getting battery drain from it accessing my location so much.
Lockscreen effects are back!!!!
had to uninstall it because the notification suddenly became blurry and I couldn't see it anymore (though clicking on it would still complete the wanted action)
Running it and it is pretty good, you set up various "Routines" to change you WiFi, BT, color and other settings depending on location or time.
Works good but broken when used with the sammy LED case
Tried it yesterday. Intriguing. But buggy. Seems like Android system ui tuner could be activated, but wouldn't. Changed the behavior of my home button. Not sure if quick setting tiles could be changed. Status bar and notification tiles look a lot like stock Android N, but lock screen behaves like Jellybean. Looking forward to trying it again after more bug fixes.
Also, wifi calling notification appears twice. Lock screen widgets are not so useful if you like to use the fingerprint scanner. Same goes for the lock screen shortcuts. Fun to play with, though.
This breaks encrypted SD cards
How do I uninstall it¿ I got battery drain

I had bad battery drain with this. Also, IMO, the color options are way too girly.

Oh this is nice....I'm.loving it!!!!!!!
This is great! For some reason after connecting it to my car the constant location settings pop up went away, even with location off! Still no way of organizing the quick toggles, but a definite improvement over stock. I've not seen any increase in battery drain either, with AOD on I lost 8% over 12 hrs last night.
Guys,
How do I stop apps from running in the background?
Check my attached screenshot of battery stats, where snaptube and beam was running in the background, although I never opened them for the day.
Is there an option in settings to do it like Samsung does, or Do I have to depend on an App ?
Thanks in Advance!

That's some pretty bad battery drain for apps that you haven't even used. You could try greenify.

Best options I'd say:
- Disable Background Activity (app info - battery) - though this may mess with any notifications you may want to receive
- Disable Background data (app info - Data Usage - Background Data) - again, perhaps no notifications
- Battery optimisation - ensure android is optimising battery usage
- Disable notifications from within the app, which should reduce battery usage though of course at the expense of not receiving notifications (could just manually check?)
Another option is to use App ops (comes with NitrogenOS custom rom) or install it from the Playstore. This will allow you to further tweak app permissions, specifically "auto-start", "keep awake" and "run in background".
Lastly for some apps it may be a better option to eithern find an alternative, where available, or not to bother with the app and just use the web interface instead. For example, I don't bother with Facebook and used Folio for a while. Now I just settle for the web interface (with messenger lite installed for messages) and have a shortcut to the site on my home screen (which you can even change the icon to a Facebook one).
Though also I see you using Snaptube (video downloader?) and so downloading will be a battery drainer too, so if this is the case use WiFi where possible.
Many options, decide which fits best for you
Great reply right here. Was just about to say the first few options as they're built-in. Good thing I scrolled down. LOL

THANK YOU! for taking time to compose this fantastic response.
Initially I was lost because I coudn't find the option to kill background activity in the app settings. However since you've mentioned it here, I checked again.
Apparently that option is not shown for some apps. But a few, Like Snaptube does have that option. For the one's that doesn't have it - I used Greenify.
Battery Optimization, Yes Enabled.
Notifications were also a good tip, Killed all except the messenger and Email apps.

You're welcome
Is there a way to have this support more than 3 apps? It's ridiculous there's a limit with the amount of ram on this phone
That's a GREAT question, and I'd love to know the answer too. I haven't found one yet though. RAM isn't an issue on this phone. Maybe they worry too many locked in memory will affect battery life too much?
Where did you learn this is the limit? I've gone days without opening an app before and when I go back to it it's right where I left off.
You could perhaps go to the battery saving menu and disable the battery saving for any apps you want to remain running. This may cause some serious background battery usage though, but It may be worth trying out. Also, try running the high performance mode. I've run that mode a lot and never noticed it causing much battery drain over the standard optimised mode.
Coming from Oneplus and using it for a long time I can tell you, the Note 10+ is probably one of the best multitasking phones I've used (including Note 9). Chrome on this hardly ever closes in the background and find it always running and available with all the tabs open. Oneplus phones can hardly keep anything in memory / background loaded for more than 5 mins but but Oneplus phones feel sooooo much more responsive and snappy comparatively otherwise.
The default for background apps is set to, "standard." Which allows more than 3 background apps.
Go into Device Care - > Battery - > App power management
Some apps may have been automatically added to sleep or deep sleep.
You can add or remove apps as needed.

After you add three to "Keep open for quick launching" the option becomes greyed out.
You're right, it's generally not an issue where apps get closed down in the background anyway, but I normally have 4 or 5 that I always wanted 'pinned' to my recents list. Not a big deal, I just found the limit strange, given the phone's capabiities and hardware.

How do you get " keep open for quick launching “ , I only get lock app instead , I'm running one ui 2.1 june security patch ” picture attached ”
Anyway you can bypass this using good lock app from galaxy store and use the module multistar and toggle on ”long live apps”

I'm also on One UI 2.1, June security patch. Screenshot of my menu option is attached. Maybe it's different between countries/regions/models? Mine is the Canadian N975W.
Edit: attachments aren't working, here's a link to the screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqdgaMVMg2EMirgLXMqey1V1d0Gsdg?e=RGdVeX
I have three settings :
Put apps to sleep
Put apps to deep sleep
Apps that are not put to sleep.
I can add as many as i want in here.
There's an option to Goodlock's Task Changer to keep an app open which is a setting you don't have anywhere else in the system.
But i don't have that long live app in Multistar on my end.
Sorry for digging this up but do all of your apps appear in the "Apps that never sleep" list of apps?
I'm missing quite a few of my apps, aProfiles and Philips Hue for a start...
Anyone has noticed that before? Thnx
