Hello, as much as I appreciate Samsung's concern for my health and safety, I am getting annoyed by the volume notification that says "Listening to music on high volume for long periods of time might be harmful" etc., sometimes I'm out running and I try to turn up the volume, it'll vibrate and block it, so I'm forced to pull out my phone and dismiss the freaking notification.
I tried searching for it in the settings, nothing came up as a toggle switch off.. Thanks ?

Nothing you can do about it without root. Samsung doesn't understand that external bluetooth devices have independent volume controls, apparently.

How do you do it when rooted?
I actually don't know on this phone. On the S4, I used Xposed to remove the volume warning, but I don't know if that's available for the S6 yet. Might check the S6 development forums to see if there's anything.
This is an Android feature, not Samsung. I think Google added it in KitKat to comply with some laws somewhere.

I'm pretty sure it's a Samsung thing. The Moto G 2nd Gen running the 5.0 update doesn't do it, and didn't do it on the shipped 4.4 OS.

Well, I didn't know that. I don't use Google-stock android devices, and the Optimus G, when I had it, never did that. I did sell it before the update, though.

Just as the title says, I find somewhat pointless that I can simply switch off my phone even if it's locked. I didn't have this problem with my M7, any way to change this?
My phone is rooted if that makes any difference.
I don't believe that you can do this in the stock rom. In some custom roms it is built in. If you wish to stay on stock or a ROM without this feature,

I believe that they want to do this for security purposes so if their phone was stolen they can't turn their device off.
It's useless, holding the power button 5-10 secs will also switch the device off.

Although I think it's useless, cause you cannot disable the hold 5-10 seconds feature. But I see this option in the Xposed Module called GravityBox.
I have an OPO rooted. I tried this app to block power button so it only avoid to call the power menu but I'm still able to turn device off holding power button for 5 seconds. Looking for an app that really block my phone to be turned off.
In the change log of android l it mentions it has okay Google with screen off. Does the nexus 5 have the necessary dsp hardware to make that happen?

I'm guessing the snapdragon 800 isn't capable which is why the moto x opted for at least the 801. Don't know really but I was hoping someone might know. Time will tell I guess.

Motorola uses the fabled "low power core" to run active display and touchless control. Without that, both features will destroy any devices battery.
Just like the N5 has a pedometer running in a similar way. LG has tap to wake, as does the M8. That's why tap to wake is a huge battery drain on the N5.

Double tap to wake drains on the Nexus 5 because you can't just keep the digitizer on, you have to keep the entire panel on. On devices where it doesn't drain, you can power them on separately. Nothing to do with the low-powered core.

800 is just as capable as the 801. Low-power core is just used for a hardware pedometer instead of "always listening", as well as legal issues if you were to enable it without permission.

I guess we'll find out soon. Android L is being released Friday for the n5 right? I guess there is no plausible way for lollipop to change the function on the low power core on the n5 to use it for listening instead of a pedometer.

But yeah. The low-powered core is only good for things that usually require wakelocks (i.e. always listening, music playing, hardware pedometer). Screen-off gestures are done at kernel level and does NOT require a wakelock, so the low-powered core is completely useless in that regard.
Only factor determining if screen-off gestures drains or not is how power is provided to the panel. If it's possible to power the digitizer on separately, then it uses less battery. If you have to power the entire panel on, it'll use more. Either way, it's the exact same thing and not really done much differently across all devices; just make sure the digitizer is powered in any way and wake the device (or whatever) on specific gestures.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I doubt the preview will have all the features. From the looks of it, it doesn't even have most of them. They're saving it for the official release. The preview didn't include the new/updated apps either.
Anyway, the N5 isn't likely to get the feature you're asking about. It has to be enabled and setup with the processor's low power core. I don't think this can happen through an ota. From what I've heard it'll just be the new devices receiving that feature.

Even if your screen is off, you can say "OK Google" on devices with digital signal processing support such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 9
You can find the details in the lollipop specification in android official website

It does work on my phone, the thing is that have to hit the power button then the lock screen comes up, if you say "okay Google" it does work like call or text but still the screen remain unlock. I haven't tried doing "okay google", " unlock screen"

As the title says.
I am tired of finding an app which will bring back the Silent mode in Lollipop, nothing works, including the one which was released earlier today claiming about bringing Silent mode back, SoundHUD, it does not work on my Note 3.
So I am asking this here, in case there is an app and I don't know it.
Again, I have a Galaxy Note 3, so if there's an app which works on a Nexus or those type of devices doesn't mean it will work on mine.
I 2nd this. I want a solution for this as well. App/Script/Hack/Mod.....whatever.

Yeah, I know. It's kinda weird that there's no app or mod for this so far, L is released pretty much for over a month now!
Hit the volume button, then none? It will put the phone in interruption mode and silent. You can even choose when it will go back to sound mode in case you forget to change it back.

Check this article http://www.androidauthority.com/soundhud-lollipop-silent-mode-589336/ Haven't tried it I'm on KK so don't ask, i just remembered i saw it and thought it might do the trick for you.
Apparently, Samsung agrees with us here! The new Sound/Notification/Interruption features suck ballz. They will be fixed immediately in an incoming update rolling around the world.

First of all that will disable all sorts of notifications, I mean the display won't pop up, there will be no LED and most importantly the Alarm sound will be silent too, LOL.

Why no Notification volume slider is present in sound settings, is there any other work around to get those separately?
Is there a way to have 4 options like all other phones have, ringtone, notification, media, call or alarm etc
Did you go to Settings -> Sound -> Volume? All sliders show up for me ... SM-N9500 unrooted on latest software update.

Right. It's ridiculous because notifications come through and their "gaming mode" doesn't stop them either. Their OS is total crap, it's like stepping back in time.
Is anyone found a solution for this? Is there any solution with root? I'll root just for this!
Sorry, I thing that I do not understand you correctly.

That app doesnt work either, when lowering notification or ringtone loudness, it drags down the other one with it.
OP has the ringtone and notification combined, no app without rooting your phone is going to change that.
There are complaints to OP on their own forum going back years of people asking them to separate them, to no avail.
I've personally sent them emails about this issue and some other coding issues they have. In regards to this issue I wasn't nice about after I got a ridiculous response from them. I'm just not understanding how a million dollar company can't fix simple coding problems and can't/won't update their OS to bring it even into 2016.
I like the phone overall, but I think this will be my first and last OP.

Noticed with the Pie update, that if you're using a bluetooth device, the notifications only come through that. No longer comes through phone as well.
I need my earbuds to be paired and connected for most the time, but cannot have them in ears at all times. I only noticed after my wife called me to make sure I was ok as I hadn't been responding to numerous relatively important texts. Wasn't replying because I hadn't heard the notifications. . . . because my earbuds weren't in my ear.
Have there been any solutions to this thing. This is really bad and obnoxious.

All audio, ringer and notification sounds are redirected to headphone/ear-bud/earpiece when they are connected, it's a hardware feature that is built into the hardware, it can't do both.
Either leave the ear buds in or train yourself to disconnect them when not using them.

If it could do this before the update, the feature is probably still there, the settings for it may be in a different place or has a different nomenclature.
