Possibility of Data off when screen off on MM? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi,
can somebody tell me if it is possible to toggle data on/off when screen is off? And also toggle between 3G/LTE (when screen off/on). So that the phone does not use data when not connected to wifi and screen is off. It was possible on KK with root, Xposed and app intelli3G or with wanam app, but I could not get it to work later with android 5.0 or later.
Thanks for answers!

Smart Network by wanam in Xposed is the best app right now.

But does Smart network work consistently on marshmallow?

Need help with setting up Tasker for Greenify no root

Hi guys. I don't know if you are familiar with the non root version of greenify, but basically you press the hibernation button and the process goes on by itself.
I tried using tasker to auto hibernate upon display off but it doesn't seem to work. It does indeed start up the hibernation process but it doesn't force close the apps as its intended to do. Can anyone help?

Dumb question, but did you add tasker to the exception list?

Yes I did. I doubt the problem lies within Tasker as such but more the fact that the force closure of apps can't proceed when screen is off. Tasker does its job well.

Make sure u go into accessibility under settings and check the box for tasker if not tasker won't be able to be automatic on stock rom

Is gravitybox available for s5?

Hi,
I just cracked my s4's screen... also the front camera has been stopped working for a while... i am thinking about either to get an s5 or repair the screen...
Few questions:
The most important for me is to be able to set different notification led color per application. I used gravitybox to do so. Is it available for s5? Does it work?
Can i lock the phone to a specific radio technologie? for instance 3g only
Is it possible to enter to the field test mode?
Thanks in advance!
Notifications control works perfectly, I use it.
As for the radio tweaks I dont know, don't use them.

Smart Settings on Verizon

I looked for smart settings on my Verizon unit and couldn't find it. Looks like Verizon removed it.
Here is how to get it back.
Download QuickShortcutmaker from the market
Open it and scroll down to smart settings.
Open the smart settings dropdown.
Now press the first smart settings drop down.
This will create a icon on your home screen.
That's it.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this suggestion. Most Smart Settings cannot be used without the My Places feature active, and that has apparently been disabled by Verizon as well. Any workaround suggestions?
Perhaps try Llama? It can be found in the Play Store
I would be very interested if one of the tmobile phone owners have an apk of my places, and could possibly post it.
Sent from my VS995 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Attached are the APKs. One of the app itself, the other is the engine. Not sure if you need the engine or not though.
Appreciate you posting that, unfortunately it said that they are corrupted. Both files are only a handful of kilobytes each which cant be correct

Those were pulled with titanium backup. Not exactly sure where it is in the system files for a direct pull.
Possible its under root folder then system then app folder. Im just not sure

I recommend MacroDroid. Much better than Smart Settings. Smart Settings is terrible by comparison. Verizon did you a favor.

To be more clear I checked /system/app and /system/priv-app. Nothing was named My Places or anything similar.

Tried this, waited 5 days but settings aren't turning on. This isn't working at all. Did it work for you?

No, unfortunately Verizon verified that they did indeed REMOVE My places functionality from their version, so no it will not auto-locate your home location after 5 days, either.
IMO, they are trying to force you to use more data. Most people turn their wifi off when they leave, and turn it back on when they come home - Smart setting will do just that. So, why would Big Red not want you to have it? Because when you have to do it manually, you'll forget to turn it back on when you get home... and when you do that, you'll use more data. my *theory*.

Or people will just leave WiFi on...because it doesn't use that much battery when not in use. This isn't a conspiracy to get people to use more data. Sounds like carriers have to pay for certain features on phones and Verizon didn't want to cash out for some less useful features. Plenty of other apps out there that can turn your WiFi on and off automatically.

Hmmm... most people I know turn it off, but to each his own. But when that is intentionally disabled along with FM radio, along with Google In Apps Search shortcut (by which you must do an internet search first before just searching for something on your phone...) - a pattern seems to be emerging... but let's give Big Red the benefit of the doubt, right? Let's forget about the lawsuit about them asking Blackberry to disable bluetooth so you couldn't transfer files, or the similar lawsuit about the same kind of thing with Motorola...
No... Nothing to see here... Move along, people, move along...
Any luck with this?
Is there a root app that can do the same thing since My Places isn't working?

There are numerous apps that don't require root that will do what Smart Settings does and more.

Phone won't go into deep sleep.

Just got the update to nougat earlier this week and was hoping it would solve the high android system drain but i've noticed all these wake locks and honestly i'm not familiar with wake locks so if anyone can help me out here. My phone wont go into deep sleep.
Looks to be a kernal problem. Anyone have any idea?

Oh I've already tried that. I also cleared my cache from recovery and from the settings
For battery drain there are few known culprits
1. Disable chrome
2. Disable Gear vr service if you don't use.
3. Disable all other bloatware
4. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning
5. Disable Android and Google (both) report diagnostic report from setting
6. Location to battery saving or off.
7. Smart features off.
I'm sure excess drain will go irrespective of what wld shows.

Have the chrome that came pre-loaded disabled but I use chrome dev. Disabled gear vr. I kept other bloat enabled that's under the hood, heard if you disable some of that stuff it could cause a bigger drain. Diagnostic report is off, location is on battery saving, I use smart stay and smart alert, have smart capture off.

Yes only disable stuff that you can from app drawer.
Is Google location reporting on or off that is also a big drainer.

And use BBS please. It has nothing to do with kernel, it's impossible to pinpoint without partial wake lock and the other issue you have it carrier signal related, fast dormancy

Alright, I also installed network connections.
Update: Have BBS installed and have it working through adb. So now all i do is wait several hours?

Yes. I know it's pain in the ass to set everything up again but it is a major change, from one iteration to another of the system and common sense screams factory reset .
