Push Notifications

It seems push notifications works in sleep mode in EDGE/3G for me.
I don't know if it was written before but this information may help you.
When you enter Samsung Apps, It installs an app called "Samsung Push Service". After that push notifications works perfectly.
I'm using JVKPE stock rom.

Thanks! Helped me alot!

That app keeps your phone awake, that's why notifications work.
This problem is now solved by XDA_bam in his latest kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675.

Are your sure that It keeps the phone awake?

Not so sure, but you can check it. Install CPU Spy (it's free), then open it, press the menu button->Reset timers and turn the screen off. Leave it like this for a while, then turn the screen on and Refresh CPU Spy stats. See the percentage of Deep sleep, it should be above 80%.

I guess you are right that ruins battery and I guess this app is for pushing Samsung Apps's notifications... While the phone is awake notifications works. That explains everything.
So, Is there a way to solve this issue without a custom kernel? I'm quite happy with my phone and don't wanna plug it to the odin again.

No, unless you contact xda bam for his patch and u patch it to your stock kernel and flash it... just flash the kernel, its very simple

doesn't work to me
I have installed the both Samsung Push Service and the XDA_bam kernel. None of them appear to work. As soon as the phone enters the deep sleep mode, no notifications arrive.
Wi-Fi works just fine, Gmail notifications arrive even earlier than to my webmail interface. 2G/3G doesn't work properly (it only works a few minutes after the screen is turned off).
I'm on a rooted XXKPH, XDA_BAM kernel version 10.
Any ideas? I'm losing patience with this phone and timely emails are VERY important for me

You're still on XXKPH??? try XXKPQ or XXKPU along with BCK 10 rc 14.
And do not install samsung push service... that is meant for use with samsung ChatOn and is a battery hog.

Did as you said. Installed a clean XXKPE, then a clean XXKPQ and after that - the BCK rc14 (cache wiped, restarted the phone for about 5 times). No luck.
Few minutes after the screen is off notifications arrive, but later, when the phone is in the deep sleep mode, they either arrive considerably late (e. g. 10 minutes late), or do not arrive at all.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Hmmm... try with this kernel and report.. http://www.mediafire.com/?5rq4amddbhjdhub
Try over both 2G/3G and wifi.... and make sure you set wifi sleep policy to never...
also if you are using gmail, open the app and go to settings... go to account settings and uncheck the notify once option.
Also make sure Juicedefender and other such apps are not running.

May I ask how BAM kernel solved the notifications issue? Does it preventing the phone to go to sleep mode?

First of all, thank you for being so helpful.
I did everything as you told. However, just as before, WiFi notifications appear to be working constantly, but the 2G / 3G notifications stop working after a while (I suppose when the phone goes to deep sleep).
So until now, I've tried the B10, B10 rc10 and B10 rc14. None of them appear to fix the issue.
I'm also using Launcher Pro, but I suppose this is not related.
EDIT: I've posted about this issue in the XDA_bam's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675&page=36), so maybe the guys there may have other ideas. Thanks again for all your help.

[Q] How can I disable all vibrations?

I hate every vibration. Some apps use the vibration as haptic feedback or they give me notification with vibration even if it's disabled from settings. Is there a simple way to disable EVERY vibration? For example an app (obviously with root permissions) or an Xposed Module. An 'extreme' solution would be to operate at kernel level or to physically disconnect the vibration motor!
Thank you in advance, I've got a rooted Nexus 5 running stock Android 4.4.3 and Franco kernel.

Franco kernel has a feature to adjust the vibration level. Use 0 and vibrations will disappear I think.

Download FKU app from Google Play. There's a built in option.

Root your phone (if not done yet) -> flash franco kernel-> install francokernel updater from the playstore -> set vibrations amp to 0 (in Kernel Settings). Done!

Thank you guys! I'm new with this kernel and I didn't know the premium version of franco.kernel updater is full of features! I happily bought this app to thank Franco for his work and now... nothing vibrates!

Why not just disable vibration through settings. Much simpler. Nothing against FKU, as I have it, but it seems like overkill.

I've always kept vibration disabled in the Android settings, but some apps keep sending me notification with vibration and these apps don't let me customize their notification type (sound and vibrate). Other apps use vibration as their own haptic feedback. All these vibrations don't depend by Android system (and so by Android settings).
For example, Hangouts vibrates, but it has an option to deactivate that behaviour. Clash of Clans keeps vibrating on notifications. A lot of launchers vibrate when moving some elements. I just don't want that feature at all!

[Q] Lollipop - Accessibility Services (Greenify) cannot enable

Hi everyone,
I decided to reflash stock and i'm running into some problems with enabling accessibility services for greenify and pushbullet. Somehow I managed to turn these on, I have then turned pushbullet off with no issues. Trying to re-enable this I get the "Use Pushbullet?" prompt with the cancel and OK buttons. I am unable to click OK... only cancel works.
Does anyone else have this problem? I've reflashed about 3 times now... md5 of image is OK so I just wanted to see if you all can enable and disable accessibility services without any issues.
Thanks

I have this exact same problem with every single app in Accessibility... I threw on Lollipop and have yet to be able to click OK. It doesn't even register as a button. Hopefully someone sees this and has a clue as to what is going on.

I wonder if this is a bug... :S

I doubt it, or at least if it is it's a very small one since I have yet to see anything else about it. You're the first person I've encountered with the same issue, funny how you mention both Greenify and Pushbullet (I have both and I didn't notice the issue until after I tried enabling Greenify)

I can confirm it doesn't work for the Google builtin services either on my phone: Talkback / Switch Access

I've been struggling with this exact issue on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 wifi. Flash to stock, setup my account, start the restore process, apps start installing, I wait until either LastPass or AutoVoice are installed and then I can immediately go in and enable accessibility for it. Anything after than and it can't click on the OK button. My theory is that you get one shot at setting whatever applications. It's definitely a bug that not app or hardware specific.

I found the answer for my specific case. It was Lux that was preventing me from enabling accessibility or installing from unknown sources. Sooo many factory resets and reflashing stock/rooting and it was Lux the whole time. Arggg...

You can just disable it in order to have accessibility settings working again.

Holy guacamole! It was LUX... I simply uninstalled LUX and I was then able to click OK on Accessibility settings. I'll be sending an email to LUX devs in a few minutes.
Although apparently I could just have disabled it... LOL. Either way the devs have been informed

Wow... Thanks for this! it works now.. damn i wiped my phone 3 times :S. Ah well at least battery life is now rocking!

Thanks for finding the root cause! Seems like we're a bunch of people using the same apps.

GOOD GRIEF! This was so annoying. THANK YOU! This was driving me crazy. I am writing this on Jan 7 2015, I dont think the author knows this is an issue. I will write to him/her. Thanks again. On a Nexus 6 5.0.1

Same problem with app called Twilight. Pausing the app allows OK button to register.

Same thing for "good sleep pro". Highly unexpected. Big thanks!

For me it was "Bluelight Filter". Thanks for setting me in the right direction.

Not a Nexus 5 user but...
I still use a Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) but, it was Lux for me too. The two reasons I didn't think it could have been Lux are, first, after this same issue came to light with the install button on sideloaded apps, they made Lux auto pause on screens where their overlay could cause issues. Second, it's daytime where I am right now. The screen dimming overlay shouldn't be active during the day. Either way, I think I'll need to poke the Lux devs to inform them that their experimental work around still isn't working in the accessibility menu.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll just have to remember to disable Lux when I need to perform protected actions.

Thank you! HTC One M8 user, and killing Lux helped!

[Resolved] Problem with Nubia N1

Hi there i got a problem with my new Nubia n1 cellphone, as soon my screen goes off for 10-15 min, all my background downloaded apps are closed (like facebook, whatsapp, custom alarm app or whatever).
Any clue how to fix it?
-I have checked the background process limit already, its in "Standard limit"
-I have unchecked the "Do not keep activities"
-I haven't tried rooting it so far since i don't know if there is any change i can do to make it worth it
Someone can give me a hand with it? The Build number on it is the NX541J_CNCommon_V1.24, Android Version 5.1, Kernel Version 3.10.72+ [email protected] #1, Hardware version MB_C, Nubia UI v4.0 Model NX541J.

I just realized how it worked, you have to hold the app manager button and slide down the apps you want to lock so when you kill all apps, those locked apps won't be affected. I think the cellphone kills all apps through that way when the screen is locked for like 10 or 15 mins so if you lock those apps it will be fine.

Huaweis power saving is pretty aggressive. Make sure Power Saving/Ultra mode is not turned on. Also make sure you don't have any apps in "Close after screen lock" enabled. Both are under Settings - Battery.
I know some people are having problems with apps not showing notifications etc.
Also, what model/build are you on?

My mate 9 is an MHA-L09 with build B156.
I've checked by power save settings and I'm not in any power save mode but have set that all apps should stay open after the screen is locked.
I'll see if that helps things but it takes some time to properly check these things...fingers crossed.

If you can/want you should probably update to the newest version.
Depending on your full build number (MHA-L09CxxxB156) you probably are a few versions behind.
Check this guide if you want to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
The "Stability" fixes released each update might fix stuff that's broken xD
You will need to temporarily unlock your bootloader for this, but it will lock again when you're finished.
