Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to disable the new 2 finger rotation on Google Maps. When I'm trying to zoom I often accidentally rotate the screen, and it's a bit annoying. Is there any way to disable this feature?
Cheers
Okay now that we have notifications on the lockscreeen now how do I control visibility there?
I use a few apps that rest permanently in the notifications, like volume controls, that should stay there but clutter the lock screen.
Anyone found a way to disable them on the lockscreen but keep em in the notifications?
Settings > sounds and notifications > app notifications
Thanks but thats not it.
You can block them but blocks them in the notification area too.
You can set them to sensitive but that still leaves a panel on the lock screen.
You can only hope this is an app setting and developers will update this soon.
Otherwise I can't understand how google devs oversaw this
Noticed there's this "Content adaptive backlight" thing enabled by default, without any setting available to users to disable it.
To disable this thing and check if auto brightness behaves better:
Nova Launcher - long press desktop - add widget - activities - "Content Adaptive Backlight Settings" - disable it in the subsequent screen.
Reading mode is unaffected, but I haven't tested auto-brightness very much after disabling this bc I'm stuck in the office right now.
EDIT: Ah, seems like it's set to 0 already in build.prop... so, don't know if it will do something or not.
What about the screen_auto_brightness_adj setting......anyone try that in AutoTools to modify the auto brightness?
Hello,
Can anyone suggest the best app lock? I have tested no app lock is working as expected... Eg. If any app lock is enabled, and If we see recent screen, we can able to view all the detailsv while slick is enabled with all permissions and with admin previliges, also the default app lock is working but with screen lock pass only allowed and it locks only when the screen on....!!!?

Hello everyone !
I just bought a Redmi Note 7. This morning my alarm didn't ring for some reason. I use the Google Clock. Also I can't make "OK Google" working when my screen is off. Some notifications take time to be showed. Etc.
Is the battery manager thing responsible of all those "bugs" ? Is that a weird "Greenify" ?
Since I didn't unlock the device and install a real Android ROM, any of you have a solution for alarm so my boss don't kill me tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help guys.
Settings > manage apps > clock (or any other app) > battery saver > no restrictions.
Also enable autostart in the same settings menue.
And avoid stuff like naptime, if you are not experienced with such things.
Hi there. It's probably a MIUI battery saver thing. So for all of your mission critical apps whose notifications you want to receive instantly, do this:
1) Go to app settings for the app in question
2) Toggle on Auto start
3) Turn on all notifications that you want to receive
4) Set the battery saving setting to no restrictions.
If you notice that an app still gets closed in the background for some reason, add another step:
5) Open the app and then open the Recent apps screen. Tap and hold the preview image of the app in question. Tap the first icon (lock app). This will lock it in memory and only you will be able to manually swipe it off and clear it from memory. Tapping the Close All button in Recents will not close the locked apps.
After I had done this with the apps that I wanted real time notifications from (or battery tracking apps that I wanted always running in the background), I've never had any issues with late or missed notifications.
I don't use 'OK Google' to wake the phone. I'm not sure if this is possible with all newer phones or only with specific SoCs.
Thanks for your answers. That was that battery saver options. Have a nice weekend.
