1 - Screen turn off time.. is that for the little screen also? I have my device to always be on. I'll turn it off when I want, but the little screen never shuts off. I'd hate to be wasting battery unnecessarily.
2 - I don't need Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, etc, etc, the list goes on.. I certainly don't need any Sprint apps.
All these freakin notices.. Amazon Music is now called Prime Music.. or whatever. Who cares.
Any way to get rid of them without root? Or shall I wait for a reliable root?
I just got my LG V20 tonight with Sprint. After going over my data last month with Project Fi ($120 bill) I now have unlimited for $50.

As far as I know,
1. the secondary display you can set it up to when it turns off based on time, or just flip the phone over and the display will turn off.
2. for the apps, if you cannot disable them, then the next choice is to root the device and freeze or delete the apps.

You can turn off the second screen when the main display is off, no need to run it especially if your not using it *and it does affect your battery life* and the only way to get rid of those apps is to disable it or root and get rid of it once and for all. There is a legitimate root guide that you can follow and has proven itself. Up to you though.
You can turn off the second screen by going onto settings search for second screen, tap it and you can set the second screen off either when the main screen is on or off or both.

Yes, but it would be nice if I could set the second screen to also go off after XX amount of time.. like a separate value than the main screen. I'll suggest it to LG. This way I can have the main screen never time out (I'll turn press the button on the back to turn it off) and the little screen can be set to timeout in say 5 mins.
Random input....
I've never set my second screen to turn off on either my v20 or my v10 and I've never had any battery issues with it.
That is to say... This phone has incredible standby battery.
The v10 is not quite as good battery wise when in use (main screen on) but standby? (only second screen on) it's wonderful!
Personally, I'd suggest to use the second screen and don't worry about battery use. I've found it to be negligible.
It's too handy not to use!

I have the paid version of juicedefender. For the most part I love it. But I have one question. For all apps that I have 3G enabled for (gmail, maps, etc), it takes a good 10 seconds or more between turning on the app, and getting any indicator that 3G is being enabled.
Does everyone else have this same issue?
Ie, I launch gmail, hit refresh, and wait - and nothing happens. Then I wonder what's wrong - about 10-15 seconds later, the 3G icon pops up in status bar, then the refresh starts.
I think most people have juicedefender enable data on the screen turning on, or the screen unlocking. I do notice there is a good 4-5 second delay after I turn on the screen. This is to be expected, at least to a certain extent.
Setting jd to enable data on unlock is probably the best compromise of convenience and battery life. I use that or toggle off data completely depending on where I'm at, using the jd widget to switch between modes.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot and see if it doesn't kill my battery.
Since killing the DRM processes, my battery life has been tremendous! so maybe now I can afford to have 3G on with the screen.

If you're going to be doing alot of usage not requiring data you can always use the handy jd widget to toggle data off. The widget has 3 modes:
On - user controlled
On - jd controlled
Off - user off

Hi there, I have this problem; my AT&T GS4 does not use the deep sleep state. I have made some research, and from what I understood, this problem has to be a result of any program that keeps triggering the phone to get awake.
So, I have the phone unlocked, rooted and ALL the sensors off, expect from gsm signal. With titanium back I have uninstalled the programs that I´ll never gonna use (mostly AT&T bloadware) and frozen the ones that I don’t want to use right know, but maybe by deleting them I would get into a problem (like S-Voice) or just because some day I would like to give them a try. Finally, there are the programs that I would like to keep, but I don’t want to let them make any cpu use while I am not using them. I used an application called Greenyfi, a good example of why this program is the best for the last propose, is the use of programs like google maps, in where I do want to use it, but, just when I open the app. Also, I used the app “Autostarts” to prevent applications to start after some events (like startup, state change, etc..)
With all that been said, I am steel not getting deep sleep, in any situation. I´am not saying that my battery life is bad, I think I can get easily 4-5 screen time use. But, by not getting into deep sleep, the phone is allways using the cpu at 384mhz, so the battery goes down in a range of 1.5 to 2 % per hour (10 hours of no use and 20% less battery).
SO, for you to see the problem better. I did a little experiment. Restart the phone, put it into flight mode and let it “sleep” for the night, the results are attached.
PD: Whatsapp isn’t the problem; I can froze it and still 0% deep sleep.
PD2: Sorry for the language, I forgot to change it.

ok, I did it, and BBS says that in partial wakelocks there is no major problem (20seg out of 1 hour the worst app). BUT, in kernel wakelocks, shows that "MSM_HSIC_HOST", is using the exact amount of time since the phone was turned on (1 hour). So, it has to be this. I´ve reading a huge thread of many people having a similar problem (mmsm_hsic_host been the process that wakes the phone most, but not using ALL the time, but considerable time (between 50% to 10). I ‘keep reading until I found a solution.

Bro! I am so trying to get my s4 to not go into deep deep sleep, to be able to have a switch or click here button to be able to toggle that option would be the way for me to continue to use unlimited 4g tether because i was told to use hotspot vpn shield to prevent tim lee mobile from sniffing my data to see if i were tethering ! Although the vpn just told me that the application goes in to deep sleep (aka it turns off!) That's right folks the application turns off without you knowing until it's too late, so let see where to go from here. ??

Yes if you have developer mode to stay awake while plugged in and want to turn the screen off at any point just hit the power button to lock/shutoff the screen.

well the hotspot shield vpn by anchors inc. makes thier app shut down when the phone goes into standby said the tech guy today because it still shut off.
so i suppose i need to prevent standby
ok i got to the bottom of this , hotspot shield vpn by anchors inc.are liars , the tether app auto prevents standby and i also i enabled the developer stay awake optiion. it turns out the application will turn off when no data is being sent for sometime and i have a feeling that it is in their favor for whatever reason otherwise the app would have an option to not shut off
now i was looking into getting termenal_ide to ping google every so often say every 3 or 5 minutes ,
i ran it and it was pinging like a mad man , more then once per second , i though i might get blacklisted for a false ddos
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing KnockON inconsistencies with their G2. Turning off always works properly. But if the phone has been idle long, it hardly will ever turn on the first one, two, or even three times I knock on it. Sometimes I have to tap it rather hard to function. I've tried different locations on the screen, as well as the center where the phone actually instructs you to do so. Then I tried faster and slowerand it makes no difference. The tips of my fingers are hurting now lol.
Thanks!

Surprised you're the first to bring this up, lol! Been watching this device closely on on youtube reviews on this device you can see it right infront of your eyes. Doesn't ALWAYS wake on double tap but does ALWAYS turn off, weird. Idk what to tell ya but yes it isn't just you...
Are you using the stock launcher?
I switched to Nova and noticed its very finicky for me ever since I stopped using the stock launcher.
Still on stock launcher.
I just tap it 4 times when turning on, no big deal.
The only time it fails for me is if I tap too softly. I notice that when turning it on, it does take two distinct forceful taps. It seems to register anything else as a touch. So, while I think it could be better, I don't see it as inconsistent. If it was too sensitive, it might end up turning on in your pocket.
I think it has to do with the motion sensor in the phone. Mine works fine if I just tap it twice while it's in a steady position (even in my hand), but when I'm riding my bicycle I can't get it to tap "on" most of the time (unless I stop). Tap off works much more reliably.
i'm pretty sure there's a deep sleep issue, but that's to be expected..once the process that controls knockon goes to a deep sleep, of course it won't work right away.
Tapping near top of screen seems to work much better.

Exactly.
Can't have both battery life and also expect the Knock feature not to go to deep sleep. I prefer to eat my cake.
Also, I like that it does not accidentally turn in my pocket or when gripping the screen in my hands, etc.
The Korean version has gotten a few updates to make KnockOn smoother, so you might not have that update yet.
Well, I have a VZW version so updates will not be plentiful lol. Knocking on it several times, rather than twice seems to work better. Thank you guys for your suggestions.

Maybe we should shake it a few times and then double-tap the screen. It would be like a Moto X/LG G2 hybrid!
I’m doing a study right now with this feature by recording the time and results. So far 3 quick knocks resulted in successful power ups 100% of the time (7 for 7). When doing 2 knocks (prior to the study) it was intermittent to the point of driving me crazy.
Come to think about it when you knock on someone’s door do you knock 3 times or 2? I always knock 3 times but the video reviews of this feature messed my thought process up with 2. First world problems I guess. LOL
I will report back with my results tonight.

Same for me. It says you need to either tap in the middle or top of screen. Anywhere else doesn't work as well.

Seems to work best if you tap where the lock screen widgets are located -- top center, but not at very top.
Anyone having a problem with the phone going unto deep sleep and then just shutting down?
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
I have an explanation. I think this happens because when the phones asleep (screen and touch panel is off), knockon uses the motion of the phone, read by the accelerometer, to recognize that two-tap pattern and subsequently turn on.
When the phone and screen are on though, the mechanism happens by direct touch input and is much more reliable, so it should happen every time.
This would explain why in moving situations like riding a bike, or when I was trying to turn it on while it was on the bed, which probably absorbed the motion from the taps it doesn't work as well.
I did hear that the Korean version got a firmware update that helped, though who knows when we'll see that in America.

Yup....Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Forces you to put your phone down to concentrate on other things with no distractions. Not sure I would ever use it myself and it would just be another app on my phone taking up space. I just put my phone down or turn it off if I really need to do something...Simple concept really.

From what I understand it disables everything but Camera and emergency calls.
you cant. You missing all the point of this app )))
I've tried Zen Mode this morning and found out it was unstable and bypass-able
- Notifications still come through to Ambient Display
- Can be bypassed if you use Oneplus Navigation Gesture. Just swipe it up and hold to access Recent App, and switch to another one. Alternatively, you can also access Recent Apps when the camera app is open. Launcher cannot be accessed though.
- You can even go as far as to Setting and force stop the Zen Mode app, but this does nothing; Zen mode is still on
- It loses count some times (timer freezes, although the countdown still going in background). Go to camera and go back may solve this
Well, that's why...
It's not stable on 6T yet.
If you have Google assistant enabled by holding down the power button, it will, at least in my experience, come up and you can tell it to open settings and disable it from there ??
Have been looking for a long time for an app that wakes up the screen when I pick up the phone and keeps the screen on for as long as I want, but which turns off the screen when I put the phone away. No app has managed to handle Onplus 6T's aggressive battery optimization (which in itself is otherwise very efficient and good). It never helped even when I disabled battery optimization for those app's (this is necessary anyway) in OP6T's settings. Until I found KinScreen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.kinscreen&hl=sv . Works perfectly and very reliably.
I use the tilt function. As long as i keep the phone in an angle (15-70 degrees) the screen is always on, when I lay the phone at the table the screen turns off within seconds (encl pic with my custom settings).
Highly recommended :good:

Hi, did you copied my settings (pic) and disabled battery optimization for KinScreen in OP6T's settings (that's important) ? Also try a reboot after.
I know that when I tried an combo of action in KeinScreen's own setting it seamed to be less reliable. So better stick to a single action I guess. For me, all works every time with these settings.
There is a KinScreen-thread at XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743082 If you still have problem, contact the developer there, he will probably assist you.
Good luck!
