the lock icon when swipping down recent app preview - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I noticed when I swipe down on the recent icon thingy a lock will appear on the top right hand side of it. What is that and what does it do?

Locking an app prevents it to be killed when u tap the trash (close all apps) icon.

Weird I don't have that option it seems convenient xD Did you have to enable it somewhere or was it like that by default?

You only have to tap on the app and pull it down, and the lock icon will appear.

it kepps that app protected without being killed by the battery manager.
its useful sometimes, bt most of the cases its not working well, those app protected may get killed based on remaing RAM

The padlock icon remains absent when using this technique on Nougat 7.1.2. Does anyone have any other suggestions to make the padlock appear on individual apps in the recent tasks screen?

[Q] Android how to disable the lower bottom menu on android?

I don't want to disable the bottom bar, what I want is to disable that pop up menu that shows up once you press the right inferior corner icons such as battery, watch, and to not let any other icon there be pressed or disapear.

Android 4.1
The Launcher I created.
Do you know that pop up that shows up whenever you touch the time, or battery icons or any Icon?
A small pop up apears, and as soon as it pops up I want it to pop down, because I don't want to allow the user to have access to it.

Access notification bar from home button dock?

When I had my LG G2 some time ago, I was able to customize the buttons on my dock. I was able to have a back, home, sadly no multitask button, but there was an option to have a button that would drop the notification bar.
I've been looking for an app, or solution since the Z5 is on the big side. I went through all the phones settings, but couldn't find the option. Anyone know of an app that may offer this functionality? I'm searching, but haven't found anything. I did find an app, but I'd rather a button added to my button dock that's always available.
Thanks
you would need root to do so.
Damn, is there any non root solution? Don't want to void warranty less than a week after buying it lol

you can install another launcher like nova launcher. There you can do everything. E.g. expand notification bar on swipe down or create shortcuts to open the bar...

Awesome, thanks for this. I already use nova launcher so looked through the settings. The best option I found was pressing the home button while already on the home screen and it'll drop the notification bar. Not exactly what I want, but gets the job done. The ideal solution would be to have a fourth, dedicated button beside the multitasking button that dropped the notification bar without having to be on the home screen. Just like the keyboard icon in the bottom right when a keyboard is open.
The G2 did this perfectly with the built in options. Wish about offered this on the stock Rom. Thanks for the tip GZA, at least I can do this from the home screen now.

Er, that's how Android has worked since at least Jellybean 4.1 (first Android version I ever had). Start with your finger just above the top of the screen and swipe down.

In Nova settings you find gestures and input. There is swipe down option. You can add expand notification there... But this feature could be in paid version only. Not sure...

Er that's how Android has always worked, and not what my question is. I'm looking for a solution to drop it without doing that as this phone is too tall.

SINGLE TAP to Answer Calls help???? How to REMOVE assistant menu completly?

Looking for HELP with a feature. Im comming from the s10 plus. I always used the function TAP to Swipe feature which is used for tapping to answer phone calls instead of sliding to answer. Its an option in the assistant menu. If you go to settings> accessibility> interaction and dexterity> assistant menu on> single tap to swipe… it can be turned on. But the problem is you cant get rid of the menu completly. On the s10 plus we was able to do this and hide it. Only option to hide it is slightly as an edge option.
Anyone know how to get rid of it completly while still allowing tap to swipe for answering phone calls?
I read your question over and over and looked at your screenshots and I really cannot work out what you mean.

Instead of swiping to answer phone calls you can just tap the answer button. Its activated thru the assisted menu. But when you activate it… it leaves a circle menu on the screen that you can put anywhere on the screen. There is an option to move it to the edge panel. You can see it on the picturr here i have it in the top right corner. On my s10 plus you can completly hide it while still being able to tap amd answer phone calls instead of sliding it to answer. Its called SINGLE TAP TO SWIPE.
OK, I am with you now.
I just checked on my Note 10+ and it's the same.
You can however hide the panel by dragging it to the top of the screen to the X that appears, this places the menu in the notification area, so although it cannot be hidden completely at least it no longer blocks your screen.
Once in the notification area, if you tap and hold the notification and then the gear icon, you can minimise it further there.
Hope this helps somewhat!

Its the same on the s10 plus which is what i am comming from. Youll get a accessability notification in the pull down bar but that can also be illiminated. On the note 20 ultra however when you hold down on the panel… there is no hide option. The only option im seeing is to put it on the edge panel… which is better but you can still see it.
I have the Note 10+ and use the Assistant Menu button to use single tap to answer calls. I could hide the button by holding and dragging it to the top of the home screen and releasing it when I see the X. Worked great. I recently updated my phone and it now has One UI 2.5. I cannot now hide the Assistant Menu button when I drag it to the top. Looks like the hide function has been removed. I don't like this at all. I don't like having to move the button around the screen to avoid interference with text, graphics, games, etc. Samsung needs to correct this ASAP!
You can either purchase "package disabler pro" and disable the accessibility app. Or you can go to settings>apps>all apps> scroll to accessibility then force stop the app and clear cache. It will stay hidden until you restart the phone. Make sure you have the single tap setting enabled first before you do this

Question Stop notification page

How do you stop the notification page from coming up when you touch the power button?

You mean the lock screen? You can disable that in Settings. It's under, as you might expect, Lock screen.
I don't think it is the lock screen. It has a bunch of icons across the top and a brightness slider

That status bar? Slide it back up.
Settings -> Advanced settings -> Side key
I don't see anything in side key settings to affect that.
Motions and gestures > Finger sensor gestures?
Looks like that did it. Thanks!
What a strange, useless feature...

On your home screen, tap the Apps icon or swipe up in order to show all apps.
Then select an app.
