I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.
slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!
Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.
Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.
Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Settings -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms -> "More" tab -> check "Display the clock on the title bar in all the programs".
Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!
hi i have question how do i change the name that appears to people when i call them. it always appears like private and i cant find the option on settings i used to know how on Gingerbread but now that i am on ICS i have no clue, i have a Nexus s btw
Open up the "Phone" app, press menu and have a look around. They've moved it from system settings.
From phone app, press menu then setting. Its the first choice after you choose additional settings.
Is there a native setting for this or a way to get to call settings ? because all i can find are instructions for android 4.x.x which reference tapping the settings in the phone app but on android 5 you can't get to call settings that way
Can on mine. Three dots menu button > settings
found a far simpler way to do it from my network
I use GWD and I want to put a button on the face that will give me a shortcut to either Settings in general or Bluetooth specifically. I turn my BT on and off frequently while traveling and there is a Settings selection on the pull down but I'd like to speed that process up some. Anyone know the App ID for that? Or if there even is one? Thanks!
App "Toggles" or "Air Toggle"
EDIT : oh no, it is a phone Toggle sorry
Hi -
How do I set a custom notification tone on an application (specifically, Google Messages)? I haven't found a way to do that yet, and I have pressed just about every button on the screen.
How do I permanently disable 5G connectivity? The battery draining impacts far outweigh the very minimal benefits of 5G, so I don't think we will ever want to use 5G.
Thanks!
For custom notification sounds you have to put them inside a certain folder, in the "My Files" app search for notifications and copy them into that folder. After that, you have to trawl though the app settings menu, usually I long press the app and select the "i" at the top right - using the Discord app as an example - from there go to Notifications > Notification Categories > Direct Messages (as an example) > Sound and select the one you want.
Uploaded 2 screenshots to show it in action.
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode, set to 4G

Thanks, @Sonic Steven!
That helped. I was able to set the Google Messages "Incoming Message" Notification Category to my custom sound. (BTW ... If there is another "Incoming Message" Notification Category for another application, will it also play my custom sound? Or, is this setting specific to each application?)
For disabling the 5G network, not as much luck. There wasn't any 4G or 5G settings visible in my AT&T Mobile Network settings. I may try removing my SIM card to see if something shows up.
I believe it is per app basis
If there's no option under the connection settings then I assume you would need to use something like the Samsung Band Selection app
Actually, I just found a better route than the Samsung Band Selection App:
This method exposes the hidden preferred Mobile Data Selector that's already in the phone.
Since we already were using Nova Launcher, this solution was a no-brainer (well, after someone else's brain had figured it out).
No additional software required for us.
