App for restarting phone

Is there an app which can restart the phone but without rooting the phone..

Why do you need that ? Just press and hold the power button for a few second, the Phone options will pop-up, just choose restart to restart the device.

look at the first app in the list dude. You just might have to actually READ the Apps description. other than that you have to root.

You could Quick Boot if you wish. Can also reboot straight to recovery and bootloader. Unfortunately I can't link to it as I've only recently joined XDA.

Quick Boot works on rooted phone only. He is asking for reboot app with no root access required.

I dun reboot that much..Just once a day..but I dun want my power button to get depressed because I have to rely on unlocking on the same button..which gets pressed quite a lot of times...
Also if you could suggest me some widgets or apps that can help me to lock my phone..I used extended controls which was not a great experience because when I unlocked the screen remained black till I switched on to some other application ..

I don't think it will harm the proximity sensor, it just that I don't like to see a red light on the proximity sensor light up when using this app as I guess it use more battery...and that's maybe the reason why they have a time-out to kill the app after certain time. Once the app is killed, you still need to press power on. Anyhow, this is my personal opinion only, nothing against the app; I maybe wrong.

Thanks tell me since when are you using this phone??do you find your power button by any chance pressed inside even a little??Also I dun think that it uses much battery as the Statistics posted by the App developer state..it would be great if someone would throw some light on it though..

Since Apr 3rd, two days after the HOX officially launched in my country. Do not really notice that, maybe because I seldom use the power button as my device is rooted, using quick boot for reboot, reboot to bootloader & recovery, swipe to power on and so on.

Why are you even rebooting once a day? It isn't necessary and will solve all of your problems.

[Q] Volume Rocker Wake

I'm on CleanROM and I'm using Xposed w/ GravityBox to do all my modding. I've enabled volume rocker wake and for whatever reason, you can't use the volume keys to wake the device after an extended time. I've always had this issue, even on Jelly Bean. It wouldn't matter if I used GravityBox or if the setting was baked into the ROM. I read somewhere that there was a "timeout" on that feature and that you could only use the volume keys within a minute of the device being used.
If this is the case, how do I get rid of the timeout? If there isn't a timeout, how can I get this working? I can't be the only one having this issue.
Any help is appreciated greatly.

I had the same issues with the volume rocker wake function in Gravitybox and use Xposed module "Vol2Wake" instead...it works perfectly.

It is an Xposed Module. It's just not in the Xposed Repo.
I appreciate it! This seems to have fixed my issues.

I spoke too soon. The timeout still happens. :/

So, any ideas? According to Google, nobody has this issue.

I enabled mine to see what happened. Just doesn't seem very stable to me. Maybe there's a kernel with something that works better.
ElementalX kernel allows slide 2 wake/sleep and double tap to wake. I didn't think it be helpful until I enabled it, and it's pretty nice not having to press the side button.

I use that, but it hurts my battery life too much.

I'm having the same issue. I have xposed and gravity box for both my N5 and N7. Volume rocker to wake works on the N5, but doesn't work on N7. Any more ideas on this?
I've also tried modaco and XUtilities, but no luck.
Thanks

Yeah, I still never got anything to work.

I have ElementalX and GB on both my N5 and N7 and the volume button wake on the N5 has always worked flawlessly and on the N7 the longer it's asleep the less likely it will work. Personally... I just blew it off and forgot about it for the N7, the power button and volume button are right next to each other anyway.
I sold my N4 this last Thanksgiving but I vaguely remember the volume wake being hit or miss on it also, so maybe it's a cpu issue/incompatibility, the N4 & N7 both use the S4 Pro.

Guys I have the same problem with my new nexus 7 32 gb wi-fi !! tried swcre'd rom, simple aosp, euphoria, (full wipe, also reboot and two wipes ecc..) but this function doesn t work on my tablet. It works only in the arch of 2 seconds with screen off, after 5 seconds or more no .
With twrp recovery, when screen off, the volume rocker wake it's ok, but maybe because there isn't a "deep sleep". Also when there is music play but screen off ,the volumer rocker wake works. I don't know what to say to the attendance, because with screen on it's all ok. There is a solution please ? thank you

this is a kernel feature and the kernel developers for our device not interested to add it i think.
you can ask about [DT2W/S2W] features in kernel thread

At the moment, there is not, but maybe in the future the P6 will support this action.

I just saw this yesterday on xda news. Requires kitkat tho.

It might be what you're looking for. However, I have never tried it and I don't know if it will work for huawei p6. I'm not sure if it works with double tapping screen... but I assume that it should since it is imitating the moto x lockscreen.
EDIT: On google play now. No need for root I think.

The Active notification feature requires AMOLED screen for best performance, while Huawei devices don't use AMOLED screen. And its not the same as LG's tap to wake feature, which is compatible with our device.

Right

I had this feature, it's really handy, but yes it's completely not related with the DT2W

Best Active Edge Settings

What are the best uses you guys have found for the squeeze feature? Settings I found useful are -
1) Skip track with a short squeeze and play previous track with a long squeeze.
2) Take a pic while the camera app is open.
Anything else that people have found useful, especially in daily use?

Ummm i didn't know we could use the squeeze feature to skip tracks, how does it work?
I only use it for Google Assistant that's it, i really didn't know we could use it for other things.

Google Assistant of course! U using 3rd party app?

Long squeeze to toggle the flashlight. Too bad I can't get mine (Pixel 2) to work consistently with the screen off.

I use it to enable/disable vibrate mode

The program in the link badger sent you is a awesome! I use double squeeze to turn on flashlight so far.

Does that have a delay to prevent Google Assistant from launching on the first squeeze?

Yup, double squeeze implements a minimum delay of 300ms. Long squeeze doesn't seem to affect single squeeze however.

Volume button to skip tracks ?

Hi,
Is there a way to skip tracks by long pressing volume buttons when the screen is off ? (like in almost all custom roms).
I'm running MIUI 10 and I didn't find a way to do it.

You must have root access then you need to download Button Mapper application from play store. Configure the application and you are good to go.

That's the drawback, it'll work even when screen is on.
