Can't turn NFC off in TeamCanjica 10.2 MOD cm-10.2-20140104

Hi,
I have a Samsung GT-I8160P and I like to use NFC so I flashed Rox's newest image (cm-10.2-20140104-UNOFFICIAL-codinap.zip). Everything works like a charm the only issue is I can't turn off NFC when I don't need it. This results in an power consumption of 40% of the whole battery....
I can't respond in the Rox's development thread because I'm a newbie...(10post limit) - hope this is the right place.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi there, I've got the same model 8160P. I installed the same version of CM yesterday, and I got the same bug, but not all the time. I don't really care cause I never use NFC.
For example, I just checked now and it's off. But when it's on (I don't know why). If I uncheck the option and go back in the menu, it's on again. Then it turns itself off later, don't know how long after I checked.
edit : I also have some other minors bugs but I can't post in dev section since I'm a newbie too

What other bugs do you have?
I flashed it over some older cm-10.2 mod from TeamCanjica and haven't found anything annoying, yet.

#1 I prefer the have the backlight of my menu and back buttons always off. So I've disable it in the settings.
But every time I got a notification when my phone's asleep, it turns itself on and it stays so even after reading the notification. The only way is to go back in the settings, enable the backlight and disable it again... until the next notification.
edit : I just saw there was a zip file to switch the backlight buttons to "always off", but I would prefer to use these as a notification LED which can turn itself off after reading the notification but it doesn't.
#2 I can't open the Camera from the notification bar. The icon change its color but the app doesn't open itself.
edit 3 : In fact the icon turns itself into the camera but it's tiny
#3 When I take a photo from the sms app, it appears directly in the message I'm writing but there's a rotation of 90°
#4 an other very little one : when you want to open the wifi settings (for example) from the notification bar, you press and hold on the icon and it opens the wifi settings, but if you want to open the battery section, you have to press and hold... and release your finger from the screen in order to access that section; Yeah I know, this is a very minor bug
#5 There's an application called "Galaxy Ace 2 settings" in the section USB > Charger Control there's a confusion in the units. It says mAh (milliAmpere*hour, the star is important) which correspond to a charge and it should be mA (milliAmpere) which correspond to the intensity of a current
#6 You can define the min/max CPU frequency in the performance settings among 200, 400 & 800MHz but it doesn't keep the setting if you close the performance section, eventhough it seems to work correctly (at 200MHz max the phone is very slow)
maybe it depends of the kernel... I haven't really search for that bug which is minor for me
edit 2 : I've seen that only the max CPU freq. could be changed, not the min freq.

Note 7's settings App power monitor "Save Power" feature vs Greenify Agressive Doze?

Note 7's settings App power monitor "Save Power" feature vs Greenify Agressive Doze?
Can anyone tell me if App power monitor "Save Power" feature is more or less efficient than Greenify with Aggressive doze? If the battery settings power save features are better I'm just going to uninstall Greenify. Any data on these two battery optimizing options?

Depends which battery save feature you use.
When I used greenify it had to be configured just right before it would work. Power save just allows you to click it. They pretty much do the same thing. I have had better luck with power save mode though.

so you uninstalled greenify? I feel like samsung's app power optimizer is almost a set it and forget it type thing now that I'm learning that Doze is automatic on Android 6. however Greenify's aggressive doze shortens the time the phone goes into Doze mode.... i'm really conflicted

Automatic switch to High Performance when launching game

Hi, I normally keep the s20 plus (exynos, non-root) running in Optimized Power mode. However, every time I want to launch a more power hungry game, I need to remember to go to Settings -> Battery -> etc and switch to High performance.
Is there a way to automatically switch to High Performance mode when launching certain apps?
Thanks!

should (might) be able to do this with game booster plus found in "game plugins" found in the galaxy store. there you can manually adjust performance settings on a per/game basis. no options to set power mode per say but you do have the options to focus on gfx quality, max FPS, brightness and some auto settings. launch games via game launcher or game plugins and your settings should get applied.

Thanks, I atttempted this before with no avail. I may be wrong but my impression so far is that this Game Booster that comes with the phone doesn't really boost anything

Is there anyway to add app to Power Saving Mode in Note 10+

I have tried to root and use UPSM manager to add app to power saving mode. When I choose apps and click save, it said saved successfully but when I restart and go into power saving mode, I cannot see all what I have chosen, still the limited default apps shown and I still have to choose again which app I want to use and I cannot add more than what they allow there. (If you want to add more, you will have to remove the current in the list and get space for new one )
Is there any other solution that works ? Thank you !

Maybe bixby routines?

how will I add app in bixby routines and will that still work in Maximum Power Saving mode in note 10+ ?

I don't let bixby run, lol read it's eula.
Just know from what I see here that's it's pretty capable.
There's also the Macrodroid app, it may be able to do that.
You know that going into max power saving mode really screws up the display settings when you come out of it? It does on my version, that glitch may have been corrected.

I checked Macrodroid and looks like it is an app for automation. Still cant figure out how that will be able to serve my purpose to add more app in power saving mode ?
(If power saving mode could help me to save battery while I still can use all the most frequent apps I need, then I don't bother coming out of it, and so the display etc.)

You want a custom app list for the power saving mode.
Both Bixby and Macroandriod are for setting up routines. Both use a fair amount of battery.
Beyond that the other issue may be dependencies that the apps you want to run need apks that are deliberately shutdown to conserve power in the maximum power savings mode.
That's one reason it can save power so well.
Specifically what app(s) do you want to run?

I want at least these app:
- Whatsapp
- Messenger
- Covid tracing app (for entrance)
- Bus timing
- Outlook
- Camera
- Home camera
- And if possible: Spotify, and one or 2 apps more also for working.

It's not happening is my opinion. You got a bunch of apps that are constantly polling the internet.
I won't even let WhatsApp on my devices. As for Covid, I'm in Texas and we're already over that junk.
Maximum power savings mode means minimum functionality. A major reason you're chewing up so much power are the social apps running in the background. I have none on my phone; if I can't use a site through the browser, I won't use it.
FB, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc are all data miners and not to be trusted.
My SOT ranges from 7-13%@hr in Optimized power setting. >.5%@hr at night with tap on AOD with phone/internet connected on my N10+'s.
These devices are also heavily optimized so it's more than just not having the social media apps.

I tried power saving with all these apps mentioned above (when I need some app I just use edit button then edit and remove one app to get space for other app in power saving mode) and I have my phone lasting from 8am to mid night. So good enough for me I believe. Now I only need a way that I do not need to remove, add them

Any body has a solution?

Question How to scheduled power on and off galaxy phone

I know MediaTek CPUs allow the phone to switch on and off at a designated time. This is usually found in the settings menu, above the About Phone option.
So I guess the technology exist in the S20 . Not sure about Exynos CPU which I own
My question is if there is any way to enable that option? How can scheduled power on and off galaxy phone?
