Put AFTV to sleep with a button combo?

Is it possible to somehow put the AFTV to sleep with a button combo on the remote?
I would like to be able to do it from within Kodi/XBMC, Netflix. Hulu, etc without having to go into the settings.

An existing button combo is not known. If you have a rooted aFTV you could try to use LLama with a shell command:
Code:
input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER

A PC Power/sleep button on a USB keyboard, like the one on the Logitech K400, also works. You can also do it with a FLIRC. There is no way to do it with the standard remote.

I have a similar question. I'm rooted. Is there a way to kill SPMC when it hangs vs going into managed installed apps find spmc and force stop? Something like longpress pause should help immensely.

No, there's no way. You're only other option would be a full system restart by holding Select and Play.

That is surely another option but that is a trade off. Wait for the whole boot or navigate down. thanks aftvnews

Nice. Wish some one would make a FTV/FTVS app that can be trigger from the Recent/FiredTV/Kodi Apps to turn the screen off... That would help things...

I did try this with ShellExecute and also with sending a KeyEvent programmatically from an app. It seems that this still needs root to be done. The only way I know it can be executed without root is via ADB.

Guess there might be a different code that the keyboards power button use like on the K400...

No, the K400 does use exactly this KEYCODE_POWER code
The problem is that it seems that a default app isn´t allowed to shellexecute the /system/bin/input binary. Same problem for SendKey events. External ADB access seems to have more system rights.
Since I´m not an Android nor Java coder perhaps a more experienced app coder could tell details about this.

yeah KEYCODE_POWER is exactly the same as the old (not-quite-deprecated) keyevent 26. and as people have mentioned, it's what the power/sleep/crescent-moon key on your keyboard is doing.
yep - adb shell input keyevent 26 'sleeps' the KFTV immediately (but remember, childrens of the world, KFTV NEVER SLEEPS. it is a lie. although if it makes your TV happier, cool.)
and you're right, the adb shell has a bit more rights than e.g. if you get an internal shell (from, say, terminal emulator) it is weaker. and probably also right, apps have diminished privileges too.
however... ok, this is an extremely stupid trick I came up with a while ago...
it's still possible to get an adb shell from a lesser shell (e.g. if you come in using sshdroid, or are typing on the terminal emulator app, etc.) - check out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715315
sadly I was never able to find out a programmatic way to perform the above, so it's not terribly useful.

There are two ideas beside the keyevent I did not try.
1.) It is possible to switch manually "off" from menu Settings > System > Sleep. Maybe an app could set an intent action to this menu call.
2.) Probably an app could use the Android power manager in a way to change the system power state to force sleep: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html

How to completely stop/turn off/delete visual voicemail

It takes a lot of juice. I can stop it manually, but it turn itself on again, like a freaking virus. I am on version 7.0 nugourt, not sure I can still root it.
Any help?
TIA

Cant root but cant you disable the app instead of force close?

That's not allowed. The disable button is grayed.

Looks like the option is gone? Am I missing something?

You know there is a search ability in the settings panel

Open settings and type Sleeping it'll pop up, they have streamlined it into device care

Not for me...

Strange, mine comes up Sleeping Apps

Settings > Device care > Battery > Top right 3 dots menu > Settings > Sleeping apps

So it's not streamlined, they have just buried 2 steps in, why not leave it where it was ?

Telemetry probably showed them the majority of people do not venture into that setting, so to remove clutter from the main settings panel they tucked it away where only people like us will go looking for it

Thanks a lot i found it
Just type sleeping

Cool idea, but doesn't stop app from sleeping when all of turned off except for notifications, even though it shows, background battery usage cant be restricted. And option to turn off is greyed out. After turning off screen music stops always playing after a couple of minutes. Never happened before Android 9, wish I could update (sometimes known as downdating? ) but really it's updating that breaks functions lol

Using holey light?

You mean like this?
This is normal. And this is from a note 9
Also there is no burn in from AOD because
AOD moves very little after a few secs so it doesnt stay in same position.

Yeah and no, like that but not on locked screen . When i turn off screen i see only that message at the bottom, nothing else, and AOD and screensaver is turned off. Is that some sort of forced AOD only when charging cause i would like to turn that off, dont need that status. Weird thing is that i didnt have that on S10e..

I have that on my Note 9. I thought it was normal. It's always been there.

sorry for going off-topic: what app are you using to show the LTE band in the lock screen?!

Ya its driving me nuts too, no idea how to turn it off. My note 9 does not do this.

Yes, omg, I need to turn this off too. Even if it does shift over a couple pixels it will cause burn-in in that general area. This is a no-no

Not correct. With the Note 9, you can have AOD turn off after a certain time, when AOD turned off the entire screen went black. So for me, at 11pm my screen was solid black and by 7am my AOD was back on.
Kept me from having a mini light during the night. I am not a fan of this being forced on. Mostly due to the high possibility of screen burn in as it doesn't shift much.

I was able to do it! However it requires not having Always on display. Here's how it's done. I purchased package disabler pro which is about $3 for the app. I then disabled always on display entirely from the app. I figured just turning it off in the settings app wont do it since it's always running in the background. However disabling it with package disabler seemed to do the trick and now I no longer get the charging indicator while the screen is off.

You could have done it with disabling/uninstalling with ADB instead, and for free.

Which package disabler pro app are you using? link?

Is there any more "normal" way to do that?
Maybe they'll fix that with future update, but that gonna be soon coz we will end up with burned screens.

I got the package disabler from here https://www.packagedisabler.com/ . It's kind of shady so I advise to use PayPal. You will need to enable the option to sideload applications, do a search for 'unknown sources' on the phone, should pop-up right away. Download the app from the site, search it with the file explorer and install it, you should also receive a code in your email after you pay, paste it. Scroll down until you see 'Always on Display' and select disable. This worked for me. The app is more than $3.00 as they charge in Euros. Hope this help :cyclops:

Don't even need ADB, can use "CCSWE App Manager" from the play store.

Close Phone and back to home

hi everyone
is there an option or an application to make closing the phone return home without leaving it pending?
thx

maybe because of the continuum from peak screen to open screen, but anything is possible.

You could easily do that with Tsaker or Automate

i don't know how works this apps

Hi fediroth
Just to be clear, you want the phone to automatically 'press' the home button just as you fold the phone, so that the app you were using wouldn't be there when you open the screen again, is that right?

yes, like the old shellphone

Hi fediroth
It seems that Automate will get folding screen support once the Razr gets updated to Android 11.
I will try to create something with Tasker and I will let you know in the next few days if it's possible.

ok thanks

Hi fediroth
unfortunately it seems that it is complex enabling folding actions with Tasker, and I'm not sure how to use that method with the Razr, so I'm going to have to wait for the Android 11 update with the hopes that it would be easier to implement, I will get back to you once the update arrives, and hopefully it will be possible then.
