Make sure you are in the middle of the icon and hold longer between 10-20seconds

Still no worky.

Dumb question but you are holding down the settings icon in the notification pull down, correct?

Go into developer setting and turn all your animations back on..
Now reboot and try again....then go back in and turn animations back off..
You're welcome.

You have to have developer options enabled first.

MrDSL,
what animations please?
also, all I get holding down on the spinning gear is either turning on or off the system ui tuner.

That's all you get from holding the setting gear button. You don't have the ability to add custom quick settings via system ui tuner. You'll need a third party app to do so.

[Q] How to stop battery charged notification and screen turn on

Hello,
My S4s (i9500) screen keeps coming on when it reaches full charge, with a notification to unplug my charger. This wakes me up in the middle of the night, I'd like the phone to remain face up during the night...is there any way to stop this from happening?
turn your phone face down?

Thanks, need an answer to my actual question though, about how to disable the screen turning on when this notification happens.

You'll have to wait for a mod. There is no stock way to do that.

1.Head into the Settings menu. Samsung's done things a little differently and changed the way the settings menu looks, so you'll need to hit the "More" tab, and then get into the Software information.
2.Look for "About device" at the bottom. Tap it.
3.Hop on down to the build number, and tap it seven times. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. You'll get a little prompt saying you're about to unlock the developer settings. Hit that button one final time -- seven! -- and they're unlocked.
Now you've got developer settings on the Galaxy S4.

Hmm this is a pretty good workaround, the screen still comes on but turns off on it's own and pretty quick. Thank you.
Guess I'll have to wait for a mod for the screen not to come on at all or to disable the beyond useless notification altogether.
If you have root, grab es file manager or root explorer or something and go to system/media/ui/ and delete whatever sounds you want deleted. Make sure to back them up if you want them back.

Lollipop hidden power management menu

To enable the hidden power menu follow belowmentioned instructions
go to homescreen
long press - click on widgets
drag settings widget (you will see diff options)
scroll down to find power saving
and there you will have all power saving settings including nvidia's custom settings.
Hope this helps.
I think you might mean:
Long tap on home screen, then tap Shortcuts.
(not widgets)

Try using stock launcher. It ought to be there.
Yep, it's a settings shortcut. Great find though, @kukuthejak.
how change dpi in hidden power management ? dolphin emulator android not is theare
i had a problem with my tablet turning off every night even after a factory reset and changing the sleep option found under the battery settings menu. I assumed it just crashed a lot. In this menu the option was set to turn off after 6 hours.. this hidden menu was causing the problems.
Is this the same set of power options found at the top left of the battery stats when pressing the 3 dots?
yes. Look at the screenshot
No because it misses the app settings on th the raw above.

I can't find settings-->power settings in either widgets or shortcuts??
Choose the widget power settings itself, drag it to one of your home screens and open it. You will find a tab above related to app power settings.

Nova, but I reverted just to try this and no power settings widget there either.
No "Power Settings" widget
When I drag "Settings", there is no Power Settings option
Thanks for your help!
Hah! Figured it out. I just really need to listen to directions. The screen doesn't look like it scrolls further but it does. The original instructions said to SCROLL to the option. Lol.
Thanks for your help, everybody.
Thanks for the tip

You could try a different rom. Or you can try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
It's also a nice way to get your screen even darker.
The only draw back is the status bar notification.

problem solved by turning on power saver mode anyway. but thanks for trying to help me
option B
You can download a hidden menu app from the play store. Then go into the application "engineer mode". There you will find a button to turn the lights for the buttons on & off.
Here are some screenshots of the menu.

New Launcher Update is RUBBISH

The new Launcher update is a certified pain in the ass. Now you can't swipe down from any space on the homescreen to get to the Quick Settings menu. It goes to the new and totally unnecessary notification/Google/Search screen. Why the heck do I need that function when I already have it on my homescreen you Jackasses? This is a very large phone and now I have to reach (or use my other hand) all the way to the notification bar to get to Quick Settings. Worse still I can't roll back to the old version and can't disable this asinine feature. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
Hey calm down, you can change that behaviour on the launcher settings > home screen > swipe down gesture

Thanks for the info. I finally figured it out. Instead of giving us the option upfront the first thing that came up was the 5 star rating crap. To make matters worse the first trending search item was about the f*#king Kardashians!
Having them come up would p*ss me off too.

Just press for 1/2 seconds any empty part of the screen or just swipe up... then have the laucher settings options
Thanks.
Also, it seems that the search function from the apps screen now points to the new search window, which is again really annoying, as I am just interested in finding apps at that point. Any idea if this can be reverted somewhere?

I had the same problem. Do you have developer settings enabled and animations disabled? I did, and when I turned animations back on, it popped back up.
Thank you, that solved the problem for me...
