I did fresh upgrade from KitKat4.4.4 to stock 5.0. I noticed there are a few things missing from previous build:
1. Power menu only have "POWER OFF"!
2. No "silent" option for sound?
3. No "Auto" setting for brightness control?
4. For privacy, I only want to see an app icon showing on status bar of Lockscreen when Notification comes. I do not want to see small pop-up window with content showing up in 5.0.
5. Lockscreen cannot add widget any more, only Camera/Phone can be lauched.
How to re-gain them instead of going back to 4.4.4?
1- Yes, you don't need the others
2- NONE is the new true silent, read up on it or wait for my youtube video to come up explaining a bit about it (Will be up on monday)
3- Auto is gone and replaced by adaptive brightness which is much better (again, video on monday )
4- It's already there in settings, sound & notifications, when device is locked
5- They (Google) removed lockscreen widgets
And Phones are missing the "Add restricted profile" option ...
I want to restrict what apps my kids can run on my phone.
Any idea how to enable that feature?

Sadly its not.
Google has decided that phones only get "multiple users" whereas tablets also gets "restricted profiles".

1. No, I need others. At least do not take out the menu item already exists in 4.4.4
2. Wait for video
3. No, it is worse.
4. No, the setting sucks. If I choose display content(option2 or 3), it will pop up window on locksceen. If I choose don't display content, there is nothing showing on lockscreen. They are all not I want.
5. Another one sucks
6. The system is slower on 5.0
I flash back to 4.4.4

Hey guys,
Following the update to android 5.0 Lollipop (by flashing it onto my device using the G900F Poland firmware), i quickly found out "silent mode" was replaced by a functionality called "priority mode".
After doing some research on it i decided to set it up since i need my silent mode. The thing is, i can't find it anywhere in my settings.
I tried using my volume buttons to see if i could change the mode, i tried the settings 'Sounds & Notifications' section but no luck on finding priority mode anywhere.
Does anybody know where to find this "hidden" mode? Because i'm lost at this point :silly:
Thanks in advance!
You can find it under toggle window,see for the option "all"...You can set it to priority for the alarms to get through and some of the contacts if you want...set it to none to completely silence your phone..

Oh well.. that was tucked away nicely.. Thanks for the help!
I made a new thread about this because i didn't find this one when looking for silent mode. And on my phone i looked for priority mode, but the toggle is just called "all" and the section in the sound¬ification settings is called "interruptions". Well one thing this interrupted was my night rest. And my mood. Anyway, thanks for the answer.
[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?

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

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 all
It seems that the only way to get ring volume switched to vibrate only, is via the switch on the left side of the phone? I understand that this is the intended method, but that vibrate only cannot be configured in the regular profile shocks me?
The silence mode features an icon in the status bar, and enforces a whole set of other options, really? I understand that the switch is a design decision, but that is in no way the same to me as taking away regular well known usage of any android phone since dawn of time - the vibrate option in the normal 'volume profile'....
Any input on this? Am I missing something, or am I the only one having an issue here?
The lack of swipe across status bar to lower screen brightness is a different thing, but I'm sure developers will bring this back, at least with a custom kernel (EX for example).
Kind Regards
Seems like I'm the only person who cares :laugh: Or the thread just drowned :highfive:

I'll Growler to like it... I'm pretty sure..
Actually there's this app that can do this without you touching the switch. Sound Profile. I have no idea what makes it work but it does.
Now if only I could make Tasker do this...
wondering the same, had a similar problem, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3629258
Solved it with tasker.
Trigger "silent ~ off" -> set a non empty ringtone.
trigger "silent ~ on" (this is true for dnd and silent mod): change ringtone to empty (silent) ringtone
I came across the same question and the only way I've found to enable silent/ vibrate mode without the slider is using a widget.
Ok, the attatched screenshot is a catlog of things happening when switching from silent to do not disturb. Notice the easily recognized event at the top, ThreeKeyHW.. That's whats triggering all the following actions. This can be intercepted by Tasker, and manipulated with :good:

why bother reading logcat (which might eat your battery)? for me, testing two variables in tasker allows me to determine the switch position:
%SILENT ~ off we are loud
%SILENT ~ on and %VOLR!=0 we are in dnd
%SILENT ~ on and %VOLR = 0 we are in silent mode

You have more Tasker experience than I do :laugh:
Question, in your opinion, is any other tasker alternative worth spending money or time on, or is it just a matter of learning Tasker? My point being that Tasker is THE tool - but also quite difficult to manage at times... Hard to navigate in, I personally believe. But on the other hand, it can do ANYTHING, which you cannot say about ANY of the alternatives...

Hi,
no, not more experience, but I found a posting for a similar question for the oneplus 3 where someone suggested testing the %INTERRUPT variable to determine if it is on value "priority" (meaning it is in dnd mode). I tested this and just created a task that shows a flash message with a number of variables of which I thought they could be interesting. Turned out that INTERRUPT was never set, but this is how I found out about SILENT and VOLR.
Regarding tasker alternatives: I haven't used an automation tool for maybe three years now, before I had only done simple stuff with tasker, so it was my first pick and it worked nicely - so I cannot say anything about alternatives...
me personally would love just bottom to top: all, vibrate only, nothing. no DND etc. another thing that bothers me is that when in silent/vibrate, I can't get Textra to use a certain pattern for messages coming in. oos defaults to two little vibrations. any ideas?

Is there no one here that can actually help with this? People just keep leaving short oneliners without any substance ("Just apply the thingy and it'll work"). It's not helpful, it's just frustrating as **** since none of us others get this to work.
If you do know how to do this, for real, then share your XML for your profile and/or tasks. Or write up a step by step.

Over the past days I've gained Tasker knowledge to do this. How would people want it to work, I'll try!
Just thought to have a thread where I will try to compile all suggestions and feedback regarding the phone -- be it hardware or software (EMUI). Hope you guys think this is a good idea...
compiling a list...
1. Customisable notification lights -- whether to turn on notification LED for charging, type of colour for different events, etc... (see OP)
2. Separate volume for notification. (see OP)
3. Remove the CD-Drive where HiSuite is stored (see OP)
4. Default USB mode does not seem to work. enabled it on Develop options and set MTP as default but still, it goes to charging mode only on my phone (see OP)
5. Option to disable auto beauty mode when using front facing cam. i'm one of those that don't like beauty mode. or at least a settings where we can turn it on/ off as default. (see OP)
6. Option to manually change screen resolution to 1080p or even 720p. right now, it's automatic and comes under power savings options. (see OP)
7. Double-tap to wake. (see OP)
8. improve on smart unlock -- paired with my fitness band but the smart unlock behavior is erratic. sometimes does not work. (see OP)
9. Mobile Data stats to track usage needs a major improvement -- ability to change data cycle date. not every data cycle starts on 1st of calendar month. mine starts almost mid month, so this Mobile Data thingy is quite useless in tracking and reminding me of usage. should stick to something simple like what Samsung has got. (see OP)
10. Improve/ Reorganise options in settings. (see OP)
11. No notification when low resolution mode kicks in. Also see point 6 above. (see OP)
12. Improve on volume level, especially when using earphones. Also, an equalizer? (see OP)
13. Themes that does more than just change wallpaper and icons. (see OP)
14. Clicking sound on the power button. (see OP)
15. Charging speed when phone is used should be faster. Currently very slow. (see OP)
16. More improvements on the camera - better overall quality (including in low light) and speed. (see OP) (see OP)
17. More options for selecting network-type (which SIM gets 4G, 3G, 2G only, etc). (see OP)
18. Club honor forum needs some reworking. (see OP)
19. Expand on the menu in Power Button. (see OP)
20. Improve on low-light photography (see OP)
21. Heat issue after prolonged use of camera (4K recording) (see OP)
22. Photo and video using both front and rear camera. I know Samsung has got this and I quite love it. Useful for those still not using selfie stick. Plus, for video and doing livestream, being able to use both can be fun! <-- This seems to be on the new Nokia 8. Even if it's not possible on video, would be nice to see this option for photos.
23. Improve App Twin. Currently only two apps. Would be better if users can just clone any apps. (see OP)
24. Add quick menu on camera editable -- users can customise what they want on the camera apps' quick menu. That way, we can put whatever settings we like. Perhaps HDR. (see OP)
25. More icons/ options for Quick Access. There could be many more options like Auto Sync. (see OP)
26. Allow warranty claims even on rooted devices like OnePlus. (see OP)
27. Enhance the PIN entry screen. (see OP)
28. Allow contact events (like birthdates) to be entered without YEAR. (see OP)

Your list of suggestions is definitely a good start. IMHO, suggestions 1,2,7 are to be given high priority followed by 5,6 and 8. Regarding 3&4 I have observed the same default action on all my previous OnePlus devices also. May be it's implemented that way I guess.

Let's start -
The number of options is settings is huge. It's sort of a mess to find out a particular setting.
The low resolution power saver has no notification about when it lowers the resolution.
The double tap to wake should be there.
Notification light should be customizable.
The volume level through earphones is very low. Also an equalizer is sorely missed.
There is a click noise when pressing the power button. It irks me when the surrounding is silent.
The themes present doesn't change much other than icons and wallpapers. I would like to see themes changing QS panel and settings screen as well.
The charging speed while using the phone is way too low.
The camera quality is good enough but improvement is still desired.

regarding 3 & 4... i do wonder what is the logic for implementing it this way. anyone can share if there's a good reason to do it this way? plus, the settings in Develop Options to set default USB mode does not seem to over-ride this, making the option in Develop Options useless.

+1 for all the suggestions! If these could be managed, it would be a near perfect phone which ticks all the checkboxes.
Also club honor forum needs a vast update. It doesn't allow to post a new post after saying it is getting reviewed and the whole forum is a mess. Nobody knows what forum is for what and there are no separate sections!
just remembered something else... would be nice if the power button's options can be expanded. i mean, perhaps under Develop Options, we have the ability to add more options such as:
* screenshot
* mute (mute using volume button currently needs 2 press -- one to reduce volume to 0 and then another click to enable MUTE)
* airplane mode

i totally agree. first of all, signing up was confusing. first attempt, i ended up signing for HK account. later, i managed to create another based on correct country -- Malaysia. when i joined the club honor forum, i found it messy as well. and... there was no section on honor 8 Pro. i asked 1-2 members/ mods, but never got any reply.
in the end, came back to XDA instead.
For me, there are two major complaints. Fast charging on this device is a real bummer. It charges incredible slow. Also, I don't like the oversaturated, unnatural looking display.
Battery life and camera are just ok. Over all I'm fine with the phone.
In addition to said improvements, they should start working on an update that supports VoLTE over wider providers. Here in India, there was a problem with Jio VoLTE and the now another company (Airtel ) os going to activate it on their Network. So that should be addressed as well. Including low light photography needs improvement

Also I read in the PDF, about the meet up in Chennai, India where discussions were held for feedback, that a hashtag be created for sharing pictures on Instagram. Can I know what the hashtag is?

In addition to said improvements, they should start working on an update that supports VoLTE over wider providers.

Regarding the volte support on other networks, it's still some months away but as the volte support is present, I guess it will work automatically on other networks also once they support it.
Low light photography. Yes needs to be improved.
Also on continuous usage of camera, it gets unreasonably hot.

Add Autosynchronization to quick settings

sorry... what do you mean by import HDR to main display? isn't that already done?
also, auto-sync... you disable/ enable it every now and then? or? usually, i set this when i setup my phone -- to determine what needs to be sync-ed and what does not. and then just let it auto-sync...

For me, there are two major complaints. Fast charging on this device is a real bummer. It charges incredible slow. Also, I don't like the oversaturated, unnatural looking display.
Battery life and camera are just ok. Over all I'm fine with the phone.

technically, this phone does not have any Quick Charging tech. it's just regular 2A charging. the phone does not come with Huawei's Fast Charging (like on Mate9) or Qualcomm's QC or even like OnePlus's DASH. but still... full charge within 2 hours, i feel... is OK for a phone with big battery and no Quick Charge tech.
as for un-natural looking display. i dunno... i can't really tell. plus, if anything, i'm am AMOLED fan. but... having said that, i thought the phone has got some display calibration that complies to some standards?
updated: there's this DCI-p3... not sure what that means. maybe later i Google it.
was reading the Nokia8 first impression when i got reminded about this camera feature where you can take a photo with both front and back camera together. in Samsung's case, they have done it quite well. would be nice to see this on our phones.

i see. i get what you mean now. ya, sadly, camera apps don't allow us to customise the menu. I know i can do that with Samsung phones. and on some other phones, they have swipe gestures to toggle between the modes. this one... good idea!

for this... iinm, i've seen this on Samsung phones too. auto sync option. but, i never really understood why ppl need these. you don't want phone to auto-sync? why not?
just thought to highlight this... hopefully we can compile a list of suggestions/ feedback that our lucky fellows in India can share with honor India.
