Power Saving mode + Haptic Feedback - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may seem like a stupid question, but but I want to use Power Saving mode, but keep haptic feedback enabled, but restrict the cpu performance. (I know I'll get questions about why I'd want to do this. Simply put, I want to save battery power).
Alternatively, is there an app that will do the same thing as this option under Power Saving?
Edit: I have the ATT Note 4, so I can't root. I'm waiting anxiously though. I need to fix Kitkat's stupid external SD card write security. It's driving me NUTS!

No solution. I learned to live without vibration.

I don't think selecting icons made a vibration.

[Q] Quick Glance for turn on

Dear all,
anybody know if it's possible to use quick glance for activate the S4. Not only for see the event window (lose call, sms, battery percent...) I need to really unblock the phone.
Will be a good idea for save the button life.
Thanks in advance,
Luis
I agree.. this feature will save the button life. However, i do not think it is possible at this time without a mod..I hope someone is planning on tinkering with the requisite apk... i would really love to use quick glance to wake the phone

it s like always listening project that samsung and intel are working on it
always on sensor for gesture is like that
so i think it need special hardware and also app that works good with enough performance
:good:
If you're really looking for a way to save the power button's life you could try something else.
I'm using the S View cover to lock /unlock my phone. The small cropped screen on the cover is useful and it looks pretty cool. If you have roughly €40 to spend, it's worth trying out.

I have two issues -
Google Now/Google Voice Search seems to trigger quite often and I don't know why. Surely it should only trigger when I press the home button?
When I swipe in a ribbon from the right, two ribbons appear. One I can scroll, I see the other behind it, not moving, which then falls away (I have 3 second fade away)
Any ideas on either of these? Thanks.

About the Google Now activation, in AOSP it activates with the menu button, maybe that's why you don't feel when it presses, I was having sort of the same issue but I assigned new custom actions.
With the ribbons, I really don't use them.

Yeah, I see I can hold menu down to launch voice search. It's definitely not that.
At one point yesterday I double taped my screen to open my app drawer and two seconds after the drawer opened, Google voice searching opened!?
I've even been looking to see if there's voice /sound activation of something... It's really annoying.

Actually, here's a related question that someone might be able to help with.
I use the home button to wake my phone, but half the time it wakes AND does the home button action. If in cycling, it wakes and drops to the home screen instead of Strava. If in at the gym, it closes Jefit. If i was on the home screen, it asks and launched voice search!
Any ideas?

I think some app is messing with the home button actions.
Have yo set any app as a device administrator?
Also, wich build are you running?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
Yeah, I think it was Nova messing with my home button. I turned off home = Voice search and it seems okay now.

Fast Dormancy
Does this rom have a toggle for turning off Fast Dormancy? I noticed that the FastDormancy Toggle app does not work with these ROMS. the nwk_info.db does not even exists! Please help!

Some guys stated in the main thread that fast dormancy only worked with Samsung's TouchWiz.
By the way, why is useful to turn off Fast Dormancy?

Fast Dormancy will save battery life if your carrier supports it. I won't go into the details. However, if your carrier does not support it, and your phone has fast dormancy on, it will drain the battery as the process keeps trying to look for the carrier-side fast dormancy feature.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
I guess it might be back to the touchwiz bs...

You can always try different apps, like Greenify or Better Battery Stats, also, KT kernel is very battery friendly but I prefer the stock kernel with that apps and the battery is always good.

Seems good to me. The only two things pushing me back to a Samsung based ROM are the battery life and I find the camera unreliable. (Often opens but with a blank black screen)

You can try with KT kernel, it improves the battery life considerably, reduces the heat but you may lose some smoothness compare to the stock kernel.
The camera seems an unresolved issue at the moment, but all the cons that the ROM currently have, for me, are very depreciable against the features.

ok, i reflashed the rom without wipe and gallery is back to normal, also videos. ill try to flash KT kernel 08/28 version, and see if it will bring back the problem.

In only use KT because of the battery life, that was very poor with the latest build, but if you're experiencing a decent battery life my suggestion is to be in the stock kernel.

ow ok, can i use ausdim kernel?

what happened to the nice power widgets in notification centre on the 06/09 rc build?
it looks hideous now

No, you can't use that kernel because it's not labeled for AOSP ROMs, you have to be careful when you flash kernels because them can really brick your device.

[Q] Popups GPS & Offline

Hello,
i have two questions, may some of you knows an answer ...(Phone G900F/root/Omega v3.0)
Both are about the popups that will be shown using the fast Buttons, like 'Wifi'/"Bluetooth"/"GPS"/"Offline" etc.
(hope my low level english will be excused)
If i use the button for "GPS" always the 'Google'-question appears ... does not matter if i have chosen just only GPS or locating with WiFi.
Does someone know how to turn off that confirmation question?
The other interaction that i really do not like is ... turning on the offline mode ... turning off the offline mode ...,
i always have to confirm that i really want that ... does someone know any solution to turn that questions off?
thank you very much for reading
thank you very much for answering if you knew a solution
best regards
The confirmation popup is rather annoying actually.
If you leave your location settings on high accuracy, it drains battery. If you leave it to power saver, GPS chip is disabled. If you turn it off, Google Now doesn't work. Seriously, which potato farmer programmed this?
I consider this to be one of the worst changes implemented. Previous Samsung phones such as the Galaxy S4 and the Note 3 had an actual "GPS" toggle in the drop down menu instead of this poorly crafted "location" toggle.
Sometimes I slightly regret switching from Note 3 to S5. Just a slight bit.
Oh well, the G3 is on the horizon

Use xposed framework plus the Modul disable Google network location consent. For the second thing maybe Wanam xposed module got an option for it.

Well, Hi!
I agree to your first statement even if i can follow the idea behind the programming, if i take the position of 'go.ogle' but even the main idea for the user is not that bad, it would have been a great choice to let the user chose which combination they want, like a single GPS-toggle. Or the combination. I was just lucky with that GPS-toggle option on my S3.
Like it is, it is a worst change. Agreed!
Some guys should get in contact with ROM cooking experts if there could be some coding solution.
Until yet i can't post in the developer section. So i have to stay calm.
Thank you for your point of view, so knowing i am not alone ...

So thankful I found this thread. I was getting tired of missing texts and other notifications due to the volume being crazy low. All better now. It's ridiculous for Lollipop to not have a setting to adjust this. Why would they do that? Other devices I have had have that adjustment, and of course I would always just turn it off. Very surprised Lollipop doesn't come with this adjustment and Motorola didn't see fit to have something of their own to correct it.
So I have noticed that this audio config tweak stops working sometimes. I have to reboot my phone then the audio is working again and not ascending. Not sure what is causing it to occur but it's happened twice now. As soon as I reboot, everything is good to go again.

Notification when I press Power Button

Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.
I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.
@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!
I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!
