Gravity box - ultimate notification control - Xperia Z2 General

I have discovered that while stamina mode is active that the ultimate notification control doesn't operate correctly. The led will flash once or twice, then stop.
Does anyone know what app I should be adding as an exception to stop this from happening?

try Light Manager - LED settings. i've changed colours. it works great even with Stamina.

There are more applications that won't work correctly when in stamina mode, eg the smart connect tool, flitsmeister,... background process are frozen when screen is off.

I have same problem with watch on apps
Hello...
What actually happen on my samsung mega i9205 is the "watch on " apps running but not have button to shut down the apps.. andthen when I check my battery uses history on >>>setting >> more >> battery >> and here is battery history area....
The 1st thing using higher power on my battery.. "THE SCREEN" - brighten or auto funtion or darker... for screen using power is 56%
But the real problem is the 2nd apps using higher power is WATCH ON .. the watch on running, even you un-tiked or un-checked the box on you said before and the apps still running and still using alot of battery power... 35 % ... but I never using it to any tv or any decoder... and I never set it to auto display on any where or auto update it.. just I want to learn .. how to really shut down the watch on apps... then my battery have alot of power not use... and I think... it can make the battery function more lasting...

Power Controls Widget

Does anyone know of a power control widget (for toggling bluetooth, mobile data, gps etc) that actually switches them off and on without loading the settings screen meaning i still have to turn stuff off and on in there rather than on the home screens
Also, widget would be ideal if it has some transparency on

Does the nexus power control widget not do that? I wanted one on my status bar so I use Power Toggles. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Can add a widget to your status bar that turns things on/off without going to its settings page. You can also change colours and customize the tabs.

Nope, if you click Mobile Data or Bluetooth, it just loads that particular page in Settings so that you can switch it off and on but thats annoying, just want to toggle on the homescreen ...
Downloading Power Toggles now, thank you!
Power Toggles is the only one that works as it should for the GPS toggle.
There are many others as well such as Notification Toggles, Settings Extended, Exilir 2, Widgetsoid and so on.

New to android here. I have been trying power toggles and it works pretty well. One toggle that does not work as I'd like is the airplane mode toggle. This sends me to the settings page to manually check the "airplane mode" box. Is there a reason for that or am I doing something wrong?
I have Power Toggles and works great. Only went to menu screen before I rooted; now rooted wifi, airplane, gps, all switch it directly (I don't use bluetooth).
Widgetsoid is the app to go. For free and massive possibilities to make switches.

Yup, it's backwards and doesn't make any sense, BUT it works.

The reason why power toggles opens up the selection page instead of just activating airplane mode is because your phone is not rooted. With the phone being rooted, a widget cannot disable GPS.
So...the solution is to root the phone, (which is easy, but you will lose your data, so back everything up first) and then install power toggles as a system application.
Because power toggles directed me to it, I used this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover
It worked like a charm, and it only took me a minute or two, including learning how to use it.
This is just one of the about 10 reasons I've found so far to root the phone, I'm sure you will run across others!
Thanks for the help! It seems like I will need to root to get true toggles without having to go through the settings screen.
Power Toggles ftw

[APP] Light Manager Compatibility

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.
Actually I only start to have problem after update to 5.8, I am using ART
p.s. I got the same problem on hangout, not whatsapp
I have no issues with light manager but I don't use whatsapp or art.

But if you look for further versions testers, I'm your man!

You mean the LED notification for hangouts remains blinking even after you have read the message? If you are using normal mode, did you enable "Allow Recreate Notification" in Light Manager > Hangouts option?

Could you help out in testing? I have added some fix but not sure if it can fix it or not. Let me know if you are OK and I will send you the apk installer for testing.

I've been using light manager for a long time and haven't had any issues. Using ART runtime and Hangouts. I also use alternating mode if that helps.

A Nexus 5 user reported that he found a way to simulate the whatsapp LED remains blinking bug at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51149422&postcount=1727
Could someone here verify if it happens to you too? Just want to make sure if this bug happens to all Nexus 5 users instead of certain users only. By the way, he is using alternating mode.
Thanks in advanced.
I use to use this app a lot but the same issue with the whatsapp app was happening with Google hangouts for some reason.
I really love this app and always use it.
Is it possible to make notifications flash even if the screen is on? (i.e when using another app)
Thanks in advance

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Will custom notifications sounds be implemented in future releases or the donate version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).

Stamina mode preserves your battery by disabling some services while your phone screen is off.
About the notification settings there is an ignore list for the stamina mode to which you can add/remove apps, in addition you can go to
Settings -> Power Management -> App power consumption and see if Instagram is listed there.
Stamina clock means that when you turn on your screen WITHOUT unlocking your phone, your phone will stay on stamina mode.
for example if you are using dashclock on your lockscreen it won't query the weather or mail or w/e you set it to have.
Cheers.

Emmersive/Fullscreen Mode

Greetings, I have tried a couple of apps to try to get emmersive/fullscreen mode with no root required on a Q6 (not much activity in the threads over there and the G6 is "similar"). One app is GMD Emmersive and the other is Emmersive Full-Screen (EFS). I have GMD on another phone (w Oreo 8.1) and it works with the apps that I really want it to work (Google/Chrome). However, GMD and EFS only partially work on the Q6, meaning they will work fully with some apps, but only partially with some, i.e., in Google/Chrome only the top will be emmersed, while the bottom will hide the soft key bar but it replaces it with a black bar, instead of "emmersing" that area as well.
So, is there an app that will also emmerse the bottom of Google/Chrome? If so what are you all using (again not rooting please).
Thanks

I'm using System UI Tuner app to get Immersive Mode. Working flawlessly so far on my G6. The Chrome full screen issue can be solved by Installing Chrome Beta and disable Chrome to avoid confusion.
what about battery drain? Do you exclude apps that can't do 18:9? I've heard that using immersive causes massive battery drain with the G6. Especially when you use it in combination with apps that can't do full screen? But I don't fully understand the issue yet (only got the phone a month ago).

I did a lot of research about that, I found this and I can confirm that really works:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/72u9be/rootless_nonbatterydraining_immersive_mode_via/
Using tasker, you can set when the immersive mode works if the screen is on/off (screen off avoid the battery drain), so simple haha.

Using Tasker and all is cumbersome process. The app mentioned in my previous post didn't cause any battery drain for me. The app just works smoothly because it enables the options which are supposed to be provided thru System UI Tuner

So what you're saying is it doesn't matter which apps are using immersive when you enable it through System UI Tuner?
On my last phone (Huawei P9) I used an app called "TileRoot" to enable immersive mode (gives you a notification quick settings toggle). I started out on the G6 using the same app, which is not app-selective. It just enables it for every app systemwide.
And my battery life was very bad, not even getting through a day. I then learned about the issues with immersive and uninstalled TileRoot, just using regular Navbar at the moment and my battery life almost doubled. I go to sleep with over 50% now... Maybe I'll give system UI tuner a chance. Or I just wait for Oreo which has a built in option right?
My battery life is so good right now I kinda don't wanna change anything

I couldn't get System UI Tuner installed. I hooked up my phone to the computer (my phone was already in developer mode "7 clicks to Kernel"), installed ADB pack and opened a command window from the ADB directory (Windows), typed "adb devices" then nothing, it just went back to the ADB directory in the command window.
You need drivers

Windows initially installed some drivers when I hooked up the phone by USB. I also installed all LG drivers from the website, the "LG Universal Mobile Drivers" and the "LG Bridge for Windows".
Tried yesterday on a clean windows installation.
Install lg universal drivers
Plug in the phone (quality cable on a mb usb)
Install minimal adb
Adb devices
Autorize adb on phone screen
Adb devices
And it works.
If you still have problem try to uninstall everything phone related from pc restart and retry.

I enabled full immersive throughout. Only app which i blacklisted is Whatsapp as the emoji option remain blank when Whatsapp is in full immersive. Otherthan this i increase the number of SmallQuickTiles from 5 to 11.
