now I have a persistent notification saying Power Saving Mode Enabled and Background Data Restricted.
Very ugly and annoying!
Anyone know how to get rid of it? what a ridiculous feature

Great feature. But to answer your question Settings menu > General > Power Saving > Power saving mode > on /off
And probably in your quick access menu as well
.
I want to keep it turned on though of course. Just not have huge ugly notification that has never been there on any Samsung device I've owned until this July update to the s5.
Horrible
Probably have to wait for an xposed module mate.
I agree that the notifications are over the top. Thankfully I don't use power saving mode.

Guys how can I hide that notification from status bar and notification panel?
Here is screenshots for giving a idea.
Anyone?
..
I have searched whole forum but I couldn't find anything like this. So help me guys.
Same thing on Lollipop also. Any solution?
I think you need to use Xposed modules or might find a mod here

Works to a certain extent
NO ROOT
Hi I learned a trick to get rid of the notification while still having Power Saving Mode run.
I tried it on 2 different S5's
1. SM-G900H (Exynos Variant)
2. SM-G900V (Snapdragon Variant for Verizon)
**WARNING THIS WORKED ON THESE 2 PHONES. MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS**
1. Press and Hold the notification until it shows Settings with the i on the other side
2. Tap on the i (or you can go to Settings, Application Manager, All, Settings)
3. Click Force Stop **A WARNING SCREEN WILL POPUP. IT IS UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO FORCE STOP SETTINGS**
4. Settings should close and the notification will go away until you restart your phone or Power Saving Mode
[Q&A] Silent mode missing after 5.0 lollipop update on Galaxy S5? Now priority mode.
Edit: solution below (4th post). But be cerful for disabling your alarms.
<rant>
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F. As a power user i need to factory reset my phone every half year to keep it running smooth. Since it was time for that anyway, i combined a fresh start with flashing the official polish 5.0 lollipop S5 rom (the updated one
PDA: G900FXXU1BNL7 ). It looks and works great. Ok, more blacks would work better with the amoled screen and it can easily take 2-3 seconds to open the task switcher, which is extra annoying if you have to also use it to jump to another browser tab. But i didn't find any major bugs and i generally love it. But one thing is driving me so crazy I'm considering going back to 4.x and staying there.
WHERE IS THE FRACKIN SILENT MODE?????
Sorry for the caps but that's kind of how i feel. Apparently it's not a bug but a feature. In vanilla, stock android on the nexus and moto g, you have to assign priority people or apps that can disturb you in priority mode. And then there's the "none" mode where your phone is completely silent. But those modes are not there in touchwiz. And people can't get their phones silent on other hardware too. Apparently Google will do a reintroduction of the feature in 5.1. But i don't know what that's worth. It will take ages for Samsung to incorporate and I'm starting to distrust google. With Google maps I'm still missing some features they cut out, such as measuring the direct distance between two points in the app. And they brought back writing to microsd cards with a special api, but i still can't edit word documents in any of the seven office apps I've tried (including several purchased ones).
</rant>
Anyway, I've tried everything i could think of to find silent mode:
* tap the vibrate/sound button in the quick toggles, it only switches between sound and vibrate, silent is gone
* long press power button: sound settings are removed from this menu
* go to settings - sounds and notifications: again there's only sound and vibrate mode. Silent mode is missing.
Please help me. The only workaround i found is to manually set all vibrates to really soft. But where is the silent mode? This is a feature that has been present in phones since before the wheel was invented. Did they really forget it? Or leave it out in purpose?
Silent mode is implemented in priority mode (stupid move by sammy)

Thank you for replying but where can i find this priority mode?
remove me again sorry
Solution
Ok, found it. You mute your phone with priority mode, but that's rather hidden...
WARNING: your alarms will not go off of you set priority mode to none.
open the all toggles: swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers (or swipe down once and tap the icon in the upper right with three squares and two arrows)
here you see a toggle called all. Set it to none for silent mode
tap the pen icon to edit the layout, long press the all/none toggle and drag it up to put it in your directly accessible toggles
you can go to the settings for priority mode by long pressing the toggle. You can also find it under sound¬ifications - interruptions (not called priority mode!!!)

This is not something implemented by Sammy, this is a Lollipop Google feature and sucks.
I had a widget for doing this and the App developer says that there is Nothing he can do
why they did this God Knows
what the heck is wrong with android developers nowadays? I hated this option.
At least silent mode will be back in 5.1
I am on EE and when I upgraded to Lollipop I lost this silient mode like everyone else did. My mate on Virgin also lost it but about a week later he received an update and he gained back this functionality.
There's now an XPOSED module for enabling native silent mode in lollipop

Silent mode is back in BOB7

I'm very confused by this "priority mode" thing. I would really like it simple....I can put my phone on silent at night and have my alarm go off, and still receive ALL notifications while I'm sleeping, but they're silent. Then during the day while I'm at work, leave it on silent, but receive all notifications. I really really don't like that no matter what, silent mode mutes all notifications and alarms. It seems like I have to have it on vibrate in order to have the alarm work. I've googled this so many times and read so many articles, but it still doesn't make sense. Also I couldn't care less what order the notifications are.
who install and active XPOSED module in Rom 5 ?please help me....
Hi guys,
i'hv been using moto x play for 6 days now and i'm not able to customize the quick settings, cannot turn off auto-correct and many settings are missing. I am new to lollipop. Please help
I can't customize quick settings too
About the auto-correct, I disabled in Settings > Language & Input > auto-correct. Don't you have this option?
no reboot option

i got the auto correct off, quick settings are not customizable i suppose. One more thing, when i hold the power key i see only power off option, no reboot option available. How to reboot this device then?

When I used the stock Motorola ROM on my old Moto G 2013, the power off was the only option too. I don't know if it's a feature from AOSP or Motorola ROM. To reboot, you can turn off, then turn on or use some third party app. Power Toggles has this feature and doesn't require root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Thanks for the link.
This is my first Moto phone. I will have to do some research and get used it.
In developer settings there is advanced reboot menu option I think?

I'm pretty sure that Google changed the reboot option (as in made it go away) with the release of Lollipop. Don't think Motorola or any of the OEM's had say or part in it. That's why the only option on stock is to power down. I haven't checked out "Power Toggles" to see if that is a viable option for stock un rooted phones. I couldn't take the ads any longer and rooted to use Adaway + Elixir (gives you reboot widget). FWIW.

My question is a short one, how do I enable Greenify automated hibernation on the HD8?
I need an app that stops other apps from running in the background and killing my battery but the only one I know wont work properly. Automated hibernation doesn't work at all and it wants me to disable an option called "Power button instantly locks" and I have no idea where to find this option.
You won't be able to fix the power button issue because Amazon has that part of the power settings blocked. I believe you can find what you need at this link.

I do not use a battery app. You can go to settings > device options > developer options > process stats. That will at least tell you which apps are on or running in the background the most. Click the top right for a menu to select system apps. If you did not enable developer options yet settings > device options. Tap the serial number 7 times. Developer options will appear under it.
Hi.
My Huawei p10 lite doesn't allow to modify the color of the navigation and notification bars when opening any app. Apparently the color is locked (it's a dark orange) and app like navbar are not able to modify in any way the fixed color.
Only when opening "Settings" the bars are white and in home screen, where navigation bar is transparent.
The phone came with a telephone company brand (which logo, by the way, has same basic color of the navigation bar) but other customers I contacted throug socials that got the phone with same conditions from the same brand, seem don't have the issue.
Is there any idea how to unlock the navigation bar color without being root or go through other invasive expedients?
Thanks a lot,
Luca.
This happened to me when I asked Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. I got super annoyed by the orange colour. So I tried telling it to turn it off but it wouldnt, so I scrolled up on my Google assistant history and flipped the switch where it said power saving mode. As soon as I did that the orange was gone.

Thank you, I'm still get along with the orange bars!
Please, may be so kind to illustrate the procedure in detail? I cannot figure out how to enter the google assistant history. By the way, to my knowledge I didn't turned on the power saving mode, unless I did it accidentally.
Thank you for helping me,
Luc.

It only happens when asking Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. Try saying "Ok Google turn on power saving mode" and it might bring up a switch. If it doesnt, then to access what you've said before just say Ok Google or hold your home button then scroll up and keep on scrolling to find a switch. If there is no switch then I have no idea what the orange means.

Note that the orange stripes on the nav and notification bars appear on any app of my phone, except for Settings and home page.
Thanks,
Luc.
Ok, have you tried changing the theme?
If not, then let's start:
1st: Find your themes app.
2nd: Go to the "Me" tab.
3rd: Choose any theme (those on the bottom are downloaded)
4th: Tap on the theme you want and tap apply.
If you have changed the theme then maybe download a theme which changes the navbar? (If I find one I'll try to send it.)
Ok here's one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15UOMMsz22_4NHnv0Ue2K5h_qxFH3zhvl/view?usp=drivesdk

It doesn't work, the orange is still there, at least applying your file. I've changed few more themes but nothing changed to the colors of the bars... :crying::crying:

I'm sure this is probably the Google power saving mode that is enabled. It shouldn't always be enabled, because it usually turns off once your battery is fully charged. Try installing Activity Launcher here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
Open the app, on the top of the screen, tap on "Recent activities" and choose "All activities".
Scroll down until you find Settings > Battery Saver > Turn on automatically, and choose "Never".
Hopefully this will turn it off. If that fails, I'd suggest making a backup of your data, and doing a factory reset.

EDIT: It would actually be easier just asking Google Assistant to "Turn power saving mode off", and it should be deactivated. Whether you remembered doing it or not, you might as well do it anyway, before you go through all the steps I gave you. [emoji849] Doing what @ianorna said is the easiest method. It's the only way to remove it, and it might just save you from doing a factory reset.

Now the phone look much better!
Thanks again dude!

I may be late in replying the post but if youre still having the problem theres an easy fix.
the bars are orange because your battery saving mode is on, and no not the huawei battery saving mode, but the native android battery saver, its buried in the settings,
got to
settings>Battery>Battery Uasge graph>Tap to open detailed graph
tap on the three dots button on top right corner> tap battery save>disable!
That should fix this :good: :laugh: :silly:
