I can't turn off the 'Do not keep activities' setting in Developer options. I can flip the switch but I can't get it to stick.
I'm using a Sprint s6 (G920P) running Twisted Project Rom.
Did you find an answer to this?
anyone found a fix for this as i am experiencing the same issue?
Keep pressing it for some seconds. Don't just tap it.

That helped. Thanks.
Actually if you click on the text instead of the switch it works..

I am looking for a lock feature that locks the phone simply when you depress the power button. I have come accross all sorts of fancy ways of locking the phone, but not this.
Can someone please point me to this tweak (if it is indeed available)
Try the Advanced Settings of Sensorlock.
Ther is a option in AdvancedConfig, to do exaxtly that

Not free, but I'm using Pocket Shield, and they have a trial you could try.

Which one and version please? Thanks
ok - installed. seems to be what I want. Thanks!
If I don't want to enable that feature in Advanced Configuration tool, is there another way to get to it? Or is there a Cab/App That I can use to lock unlock my phone? I like that ACT lets you lock the screen by pushine the power button, but sometime I just want to turn off the screen not lock it,,,

I can't seem to find this option in Advanced Config 3.3 either.
I'm sure it's probably a well known tip but I only just found it out (Got my Touch Pro yesterday) that you can hold the call end key to lock the device, which is better than nothing but I'd still rather have a way of making the power button do this too.

Thanx
Search for

from the forums here and use it ;-)
Ok, another question on the topic is there a way to add a lock button to the touchflo homepage?
Full Lock???
I have this thing that is bothering me.
When I have my Fuze on my belt ( screen locked using S2U2 ) and I activate Voice Command to make a call or just answer a call using my BT Headset the phone menu will come on with a big end call button in the middle.
Without fail I would move around and nudge the phone with the right force through the case and hang up on whoever I was talking to.
Is there an option in the S2U2 or another way of locking the phone so that when the screen is locked it's really locked?
thanks!
I reflashed and now can't get my device to lock when I press the power button. The device won't lock at all, even when I hold the end key.
How did you get it to lock when you press the power button?
The new m8 just got root, and I'd like to see if anyone could fix the issue i have with the hardware key placement. Specifically, the position of the power button annoys me quite a bit. On the old One it was at least accessible through your index finger, but the m8 must have been designed by lefties!
I'm looking for a module that would swap the function of the power key with the vol+ key to see if that will fix my little hangup with this phone. No pun intended.
Thanks!

I'm surprised this isn't a bigger complaint amongst m8 users. Well, if anyone finds anything, please let me know! Thanks!

I'm also not a fan of the power button being switched. At least we can double tap the screen to unlock. Cuts down the usage a bit.

Agreed, but it doesn't help when wanting to lock it quickly with one hand after the phone has already been unlocked. I'm more interested in that function than waking it. But glad to see I'm not alone in this.

I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock in tandem with Nova Launcher and just assign a gesture to it which in turn will turn the screen off and lock. Works great.
I just use gmd gesture control to do a three finger downward swipe to shut the device off.

For my purposes, I'm trying to find a one-handed solution. So 3 fingers is no help when the phone is in-hand. But thanks for sharing your idea!

What I did was use gravitybox > navigation key actions and then set back key long press to go to sleep. Works perfect but I am left handed so you might want a different key.

This is how I do it. Just a single finger swipe upwards shuts my screen off, then a double tap turns it back on. Works great for me!
Now if only someone could figure out how to get double tap (to wake) working in landscape mode.
Hey guys -- I just posted a fresh thread for this, but since I assume you all have weaksauce+xposed working...
After my soft-reboot to install xposed, wifi would not turn on. Did anyone else have anything similar happen?
I did weaksauce, phone off/on, install xposed, full reboot (accidentally), enable xposed, soft reboot, then no wifi when the phone came back up.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
So I have a very odd issue. I have googled and searched the threads, but I cannot find any mention of the same issue from anyone else. Here is my problem:
When the screen is completely off (I have "Always On" turned off), sometimes when I push the power button the lock screen does not come up. Instead, I can barely make out tiny white text at the very bottom of the display that is half cut off. Obviously I cannot take a screenshot to show you. So I push the power button a couple of times and then it works.
Anybody have a clue what is going on?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Auto hibernate. Just make a home screen shortcut and tap it B4 u lock your device
Sent from my Samsung SM-G955U using XDA Labs
I must be an idiot. Can you clarify? That sounds like an annoying extra step to have to tap an app prior to each time I lock my phone. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
that text is greenify is working sign ..
when you press power button when it's working, you won't get screen wake. Need to wait until it's finished,
or press power once (to stop greenify process) then wait a little while until text disappears.

No it's a hibernate shortcut you don't actually open the app. just tap it and it'll put everything to sleep then just lock your phone. I don't use auto hide unless I have root. On nonrooted phones it takes forever to do it when you go to lock your phone and in my case it would take forever for me to be able to unlock my phone so I find it easier to just tap the shortcut then lock
Note the lil icon in the bottom right. It just puts stuff to sleep, doesn't open the app

I'm also using the hibernate&sleep shortcut widget,
and disable auto hibernate because of this long wait time.

In the settings you can enable one hand mode by tapping the home button twice, but when using gestures, well... there is no home button. Is there a workaround?
Maybe not exactly what you're asking, but you can activate it by pulling down the notification bar/quick settings.
A bit easier than to go into the settings.

Hi there, I have a problem with showing my initial screen. Until yesterday it could be activated by movement and/or by pressing the start button on the side of the phone. Today it requires pressing the button, movement doesn't work. Can you help me restore starting my phone by movement? Thank you.

Hello. This is an option you can find on the Moto app. I'm running custom software so I don't have it, but it goes something like "Raise to wake".
Another option is to go to your lock settings → face unlock and enable Raise to wake.
