I have the following little problem with WM6. Every time i press the "power button" on my device, WM6 returns to the today screen. What i really want is, that it stays in the last application which was open before i switched the device off.
This behavior is especially annoying when i use tools like "ScreenOff" which does nothing else but turns the screen off (the programs are running further). This is useful when it comes to mp3 listening or something like that. But when i press the power button to turn the screen on again there is no mp3 playing application but the today screen.
Can anyone tell me where to change that behavior?
whats the today timeout set to in settings->today->items ?
It is activated and set to 8hr.
You need to disable the password lock in Security settings. This will mean that a password will NOT be required to unlock the phone upon restart or after the pre-determined timeout.
With the password lock disabled, every time you power up your phone, it will be at the last application you had open.
I already have the password lock disabled. So that can not be the problem.
If you are using the today screen battery meter there is an option for it to do that. Annoyed the hell out of me till I disabled it.
Thank you, thank you!!!
You made my day
Hi all,
For reasons that are explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46338664#post46338664 , I am wanting to try a couple of ideas for controlling/modifying the power on/off function of my phone (Sony Xperia Z). I never wanted to root this phone but now it seems like I'm going to have to to give me any fighting chance of getting around the issue I'm currently in.
Anyway, what I need to know is if any of the following things will be possible if I were to root my device:
--- Disable power button from waking screen or doing anything else, and preferably set a combination of keys to be what lights-up the screen, (e.g. nothing will happen on the phone unless for example the volume up key, then volume down key, then power button are pressed in that order). Then, if this is achievable, would it be possible to keep my mobile internet data turned on, while disabling people from calling me, (so that my phone won't ring at all)
--- Edit the power off function on my device so that instead of just turning off, it reboots instead. (However in saying this I would want this function hidden, as in, I want there to be a button that says 'Power Off', but instead of just powering-off, it does a reboot instead).
--- If the above is not possible, is there some sort of light 'sleep' mode that my phone can be put into so that it appears off, however can be automated to turn back on at a set time. (I understand that Android's can't be woken when shut-down because they literally are completely shut down and can't run any apps, but maybe there's a way to have it in a sort of 'sleep' mode where it can be automated to turn on at a set time?)
--- Any other option that will either A) make someone think my phone is turned off when it's actually still on, or B) allow my phone to turn back on automatically at a set time, or do a reboot instead of shut down when 'power off' is chosen.
Any help on this would be amazing, thanks guys

YEP, as far as I know you can do all this AFTER you root your phone.. BUT you'll have to do a lot of in-depth MODIFICATION of your system's files (like framework-res.apk, android.policy.jar, services.jar, framework.jar, framework2.jar, etc.)...
Now when I say "modification", I mean that you will have to do a lot of smali and xml editing, etc. you might also have to write a couple of init.d scripts too.. its because the modifications you want to make on your phone are integrated deep inside your phone's framework.. so yeah
Root it, and install xposed framework and you can do all you say and more without any modifications yourself

Install exposed and some modules like xblast exposed tweakbox these help modification without decompilation happy modding

So you think I can do all this stuff without having to get into complicated things like code/scripts and all that? I am relatively tech-savy but my coding skills aren't tip-top to say the least
*UPDATE*
UPDATE:
I have now rooted the device, so is there anyone that can give me some step-by-step instructions on how to do either of these options?
(I've also gotten the Xposed Framework)
Thanks,
Mike
Just download the modules and activate reboot then edit what you want

I'm not rooted, really don't have a plan to for right now, is there a way to stop it from coming up? It's very annoying. Comes up everytime I connect my BT headset........
I'm so frustrated. I lower the ringtone volume on my phone to a normal, human level. I don't mess with it. Then inevitably my phone rings and the volume is somehow back to super ridiculously freaking loud. What is changing my volumes? I've tried different things to see if I can trigger the change but it seems to happen by itself with no apparent trigger. Am I the only one with this issue? I'm pretty close to building Tasker profiles to put a bandaid on it, but it would be great to know the root cause.
Maybe you have this enabled in dialer settings?
Thanks for your reply. I was really hoping that would be it but strangely I don't even have that setting. I'm on MHA-L29C567B138
UPDATE: This setting cannot be found in the normal phone settings. Searching for "pocket" there returns no results. It's only accessible through the phone dialer, and the 3-dot menu that appears there. When I finally found it, I found it was set to "ON" so I turned it off. We'll see what happens.

Thanks! It got to the point where I just left the thing on vibrate! I've turned this setting off, I'm going to give it a spin tomorrow and hopefully it's successful! Man this things LOUD!??
So after finding and disabling pocket mode, I set my ring volume low. I booted to recovery to clear the cache partition for good measure. Restarted. Volume still low. Charged my phone, had it next to me while sleeping, had it in my pocket, brought it to my desk, and checked the volume. Still low. Fixed? So I thought... Then 2 minutes later it rang LOUD and scared the crap out of me. I literally just checked the volume and it was low, but when the call came in it set itself all the way up. WT actual F?
So then I ran some more tests.
1. I set the ring volume to the lowest before the bottom volume, and turned off he phone screen. Then I called myself from my land line. The call came in with the volume up at about 80%.
I hung up, turned it back down.
2. this time I didn't turn the screen off. Just left it sitting there immediately after lowering the volume. Called the phone and it rang again at about 80% volume.
I FIXED IT!
Turns out when I got the phone and google moved my apps over from my old phone I moved over "Profile Widget", which I used to use in combination with Tasker on my old rooted Note 3 to manage my volumes. I never opened Profile Widget or had it on my desktop, but it was installed because it came along for the ride when google restored my apps from my account. I uninstalled Profile Widget entirely, and now my ringtone volume is respected.
I hope this helps someone else. If it's not "Profile Widget", try opening the "phone manager" app, click on "permissions" , click on "phone", and see what is listed and enabled there. That's how I tracked down what it could be on my device.
I found the solution,the ringtone volume keeps resetting itself to load because the pocketmode is switched on, so basically the concept of pocket mode is the volume goes up anytime the phone is in your pocket or is covered by something so that you don't miss you call.
To turn it off, open the dialer, go to settings, find pocket mode and toggle it off.
To find the dialer just search it in the search bar, the click on the three dots at the bottom of the screen to access the settings.
Thank You.
what is the minimum of the sound ..i cannot put less then 25% in volume setings..but this is same to loud for me
pocekt mode is off ...
Ringtone Volume
Hi there, i wanna know how to increase my ringtone
Volume it is lowest than normal phones .
Please help me ....
My device model micromax bolt q338 and it is rooted . Help me plz
Now this doesn't happen all the time every time, but usually around a notification and the screen is off, I go to hit a button to turn on the phone and it doesn't respond but the touch-keys are backlit. If Always-on Display is on, the screen is black regardless, not even showing the time or notifications. The only fix is waiting ~10 seconds for the phone to respond, which in some cases can be the difference between a missed call.
Now, seeing Always On Display off like that while it should be on made me think back to when I saw some sort of Nougat optimization setting that allowed me to select Always On Display, and as far as I remember, I did. That makes me think this process is killing AoD and it is taking that long to start back up, where the phone won't unlock until AoD (is back on and) can confirm that it's trying to wake up out of that state.
However, I don't believe this is the issue. I have turned off AoD and the issue still happened directly afterward, after a Messenger notification. This is stock firmware, however it is not factory firmware. I believe I downloaded it from Sam-Mobile, and they had the 7.0 Nougat upgrade that I would have gotten OTA with the factory firmware anyway.
Somehow I don't think it's the flashed firmware that is the problem, however please let me know if that's a possibility.
While the phone (or whatever) is hanging, I can still hold down the power button and I will feel haptic feedback as if the power menu has opened, and when the phone responds the power menu will be open, so the phone does still receive input. It just doesn't seem to act upon it or wake the screen properly. Is this perhaps merely a known Nougat bug or is it a glitch with my flashed stock firmware?
I'm sorry I don't have much more information. I do have Greenify, but I don't think that can or is set to disrupt anything that would affect the phone waking, or that would hang the OS, homescreen or whatever it is.
I haven't done other troubleshooting because I don't know what direction to attack this from, and that is why I have come here.
Help please!
Thanks in advance. :good:
UPDATE: It seems to happen directly after my screen shuts off from being on. So, if a notification wakes my phone but I don't interact with it in time and the screen goes off, when I press the power button it won't respond for ~10-15s. That's all I've really noticed... Anyone else have this problem??
BUMP.
Also, the same thing happens if I press the power button on my phone (by accident) and then go to turn it back on almost immediately - it won't respond for a while.
Cleared cache from recovery?
Got any settings enabled like "Keep screen off" which stops the screen coming on in your pocket, try disabling it in case that's causing it
Different gestures, disable them all in case they're messing with it
Last resort, factory reset

Won't be factory resetting unless I plan to root or something. I'll fiddle with the keep screen off setting that I do have on, and I highly doubt gestures would affect it but regardless I haven't enabled or used any. Thanks for the reply.
So the "Keep screen off" setting didn't affect anything. I turned Always On Display back on and I see the same issues. However, now sometimes I notice when I lock my screen or it shuts off, sometimes the AOD will appear and then quickly disappear, and stay in this hanging state for 10-15s. Then, if I haven't touched it during that time, the AOD will reappear. Any ideas? :/
So nobody else has this issue? This is still a problem, even if I press the power button and sometimes I'll want to turn it back on again as I just remember something to do before putting the phone away, it hangs on black for too long to be useful in that moment. The only potential solution is a factory reset?
Even if I lock the screen... If I try to turn it back on too soon, and I think it's specific timing... I have to wait 10-20 seconds. Sounds and vibrations still work.
UPDATE: This is still an issue. I've noticed a few more things, it does really seem like timing and as if there's some function in my phone literally not allowing me to turn on my screen - and I have never timed it but I think pressing buttons (power button) makes it take longer before it will respond again.

This happens for me also as a point of interest.
I am hoping that O solves it, since the monthly updates have never helped.
I haven't had this happen since upgrading to Oreo a week ago, so far so good!
