Hi,
I have got an issue that when the new SMS arrives the phone doesn't vibrate. I checked all possible settings and it says everywhere that it should vibrate. I just have wiped the phone completely and reloaded it with my ROM (see signature) and then I sent text message to myself just after it rebooted first time and the problem still exists. It vibrates without any problems on incoming calls.
Any ideas what can cause that, or maybe there is hidden setting that I haven't found that prevents it from vibrating?
Thanks
OK, I have resolved that. It was set everywhere apart from the settings in "Messages". It was set to Vibrate->Never. I was not even aware of that setting... I think it wasn't there on my HD2 ROM or it was always set to vibrate.
Please close this thread.
I've noticed that Android 5.0 allows to change many system settings (enable/disable WiFi/BlueTooth/Autorotate/etc) on its Lock Screen without entering any password.
I hate this liberty.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this feature?
I cannot find anything in settings.

I too cannot believe this was left as a feature... I was hoping that would be fixed in the final version.
Bump.
This is actually a security issue.

I agree but there's nothing in android. 3rd party lock screen is the only way.
a fix for this would be good, as anyone can just pick up your phone and change any of the quick settings without unlocking it.
So you would not be able to track the phone if it got nicked and someone just stuck it in airplane mode!

does it matter if airplane mode is in quick settings or the main setting? if they want to steal your phone and put it into airplane mode, they will do it regardless if its in quick settings or the main settings. its stuff that you yourself use often that will appear in quick settings. i personally think its a great feature.

But they should not be able to do it while the phone is locked. At very least we should have the option of what should be accessible without unlocking the phone.

even if they were not in the quick settings, you can still pull down the notification bar while in the lockscreen, and go into the main settings. so, everything there is available to any thief.

If i do that it prompts to unlock the phone
Heck, I'm not even worried about the security situation with this, I just want to disable it because I think it is extremely poorly executed!
It offers nothing that power toggles doesn't, and is not even configurable for what options are present. I never use auto-rotate, cast screen, invert colors, etc, and yet, those options are available instantly!

They can also just remove the sim card or turn it off.
What I am looking for, is for the only possible thing you can do, while the phone is locked, is enter the password. Is there a way to set that up? Not be able to toggle any settings at all or remove the quick settings(I am ok with the emergency calling and camera widget, since you can't access the pictures on the phone until entering the password). I know they could still remove the sim or power off the phone but at least it might buy some more time if your phone gets stolen for you to track it or snap a pic of the thief. It would be nice if you could also disable the power menu and volume buttons while on the lock screen.
For now, until other solution is found or developed, you can go to notification settings and in 'When device is locked' change the setting to 'Hide sensitive notification content'. This disables access to quick settings from the lock screen but also hides titles of notifications, so you will see the notifications for emails, texts etc., but their content will be hidden.
This doesn't work. Well, if you have root and xposed you can install "Advanced Power Menu" to control the power menu on lockscreen etc and with GravityBox you can control the items on the quick settings. But I still couldn't figure out a way to totally disable it on the lockscreen.
As I remember the "X posed" Module "Notification Mod" could do exactly this. Problem is: It seems that development is discontinued and the stable ver1.2 doesn't (on my lollipop custom rom) work on 5.x

I am seeing this in my new Samsung S7 edge... with finger print and password lock.... it is not there on S5 with finger print and password lock... its a silly feature... why would they turn it on ? My son just put my phone in airplane mode accidentaly.... and I kept wondering why no messages and calls for the whole weekend.... hate to think what it would be like if it happened to someone who was say, on a on-call emergency personnel or something like that.... no one would be able to reach out to them.... I guess now have to keep checking my phone every hour.... hahahaha... or maybe go back to using my S5.. if someone has a solution to this pls share... appreciate it.
No way to disable access to quiick settings on lock screen on unrooted Android M....
Try the Market anyway,
One solution for me on Android 6.01 was to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data from Quick Settings using Systen UI Tuner in Settings then downloaded Settings Extended app at the Market and moved all mentioned in SE's Notification Shortcut. Don't forget to enable "HIDE LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION" in Preferences which is the objective of all this anyway. So don't forget to ｃｌｉｃｋ this.
You can even disable everything in Quick Settings and instead put them all in SE Notification as Shortcuts. What's great about SE is that its Notification gets the icon color/shade/background color/color when toggled etc. perfectly in Android 6. Exactly the same. It looks like its really part of the Notification Screen except that there's that horizontal gap that separates the notifications and makes the screen fiddle faddle.
Try it anyway. It might be your only hope against lock screen vulnerability in unrooted Android 6.0 phones.

I have the same problem with my S7. Its weird that you cant change the wifi or bluetooth without unlocking the phone but when you select mobile data or airplane mode you can turn that off from the lockscreen so when your phone gets stolen, the thief can so easy turn that off that there is no way to trace your phone. Why do they even call this a smart phone while its so dumb?

I must apologise first, I’m not a nerdy-head about android, but I was thinking about my new phone (upgraded to A7) and your question is one that I sought out for answers.
In Nougat, I logged in as Guest and used a pin for the user so that a ‘guest’ can’t access the Guest account without my permission.
Then comes you’re question.
You can remove all the worrisome quick start icons from your quick settings (probably leave flashlight). Then use a 3rd party app (Notification Toggle is mine) which isn’t available to a user from a protected login.
As I’ve never had a lollypop viable phone I’m afraid another user might need to help you with a more detailed method for A5.
Hope it helps somewhat. As an old 8080 machine code programmer, it was always about solving problems and then working the bugs out. I'm not even sure how to post on these - socially thingy’s.
This issue it's still there in Nougat, so before it is passed on to Android O, we have to POPULARIZE this issue so they(Android developers) know how big of a pain in the ass it is. I'm posting the complaints to every forum, magazine, fan page, etc. When it's on the social media, they have to do something. This issue has survived because people don't want their friends to know about it, coz it's partly embarrassing...
Hi,
I just purchased an x96 box and was looking through the features when I saw the security feature for setting up a resticted profile. Since I have kids I thought it would be good to set one up, so created my password and then clicked "enter restricted profile". Not only did it restrict the apps that were availible to me, but now in the sttings tab all the buttons are gone (except for network) so I can't change any settings. As well there isn't anything for me to toggle back to normal profile. I basically am stuck in restricted profile and cant change it. When I turn on and off the box it comes back on in regular mode (all the apps), but then 5 seconds in it says "switching to restricted profile" and I cant make any changes to settings.
Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver.
Cheers
Android

I am having the same exact issue. Can you please let me know when you get some resolve
Thanks
I ended up doing a factory reset. Click on the apps button on the home page. Near the bottom is a button that says "backup......". Clicked on that and checked off delete data and delete "something" then hit restore. Good to go.
Hope that helps.
Let sera...
Ok so I got a x96 foolishly done the same thing. Here's how to set it again. While the power is off in the av point on the rear of the box poke a match stick in and there is a button insode. Hold it down. It will come up with options like a boot sort of setup options. I went to clear data or something along those lines and boom back to factory settings. I looked everywhere for a reset button it was only because company I purchased from advised me it was there.
Ditto! Is ther e any other option than reseting factory settings? How can i apply the original passcode I entered?
Did you get it fix?

X96 restricted profile problem
Now any new solution? When I set PIN code and apply restricted profile after that I cannot reverse normal mode, can't apply PIN code
With a factory reset ?
So did anyone work out how to get back removing restricted profile without a factory reset. It seems so counter productive...
Thanks.
Hope it works for you too.
Okay. So, I didn't see a reset button hidden anywhere, but I didn't wanna have to do that anyways. What I've found is that when you turn it off and back on, you can go back out of restricted mode. You just need to be really fast before it re-enters restricted mode again. You have about ten seconds. It's best to connect a mouse because it takes longer to scroll to the apps and options using the remote. But I did everything in time because my password was 0000. As soon as it turns back on, as quickly as possible, go to settings, >security & restrictions, then go to turn off restricted profile. Quickly enter your passcode and you're home free! After that, I'd highly recommend deleting restricted profile. Hope this works for you too!

Yours is the best idea to solve the issue. Unfortunately my GT1 is so fast, that gives me only 1 second. The same is with wired mouse. Is there any experience, if after master (pinhole) reset the Google account should get back all (Kodi reppositories, YouTube account,...) settings ?
I have exactly the same problem with my Philips 49PUS7502/12 Android TV. I even didn't set up a PIN CODE for it. I can't get out of this profile. Any solution rather than factory reset? I have many apps and customization.
Hey Guys,
Since I received my watch I have a very concerning issue that I could not find answer to.
If I go to settings -> location -> turn on/off toggle it does move when I click it, but then if I come back to the main menu and enter the settings once again the option is unchanged. This happens also after todays fresh watch update.
The same situation happens when I try to turn on/off location via drop down from notifications - it just doesn't respond.
Does it happen to your watches as well?

Hi, have to tried factory reset;
has the problem been there since you got the watch: then assuming its new go where you bought it and show them the problem, you'll get new one or get new one
make sure to backup and wipe personal data and / accounts if they want to give you new device
Apparently factory reset has solved the problem and now its all good! I will leave the thread for people that may struggle with similar issue. Thanks flairepathos
I had the same issue (after I uninstalled Bixby via rbd, I think) and a factory reset fixed it for me. I have since disabled Bixby rather than uninstalling it and no issues with location toggle.
My original issue was exactly as you describe. If I tried to toggle it off from the quick settings nothing happened. If I went into the main location settings it would go off but then magically come back on again.
Bite the bullet and do a reset, you'll find it's fine after.
That's exactly the issue. I played with ADB and uninstalled Bixby as I don't need it but never thought it would impact location toggles But now, after the restart I'm not gonna touch ADB just in case.
How did you disable it on the watch?
My phone rings but display remains black. I have to open phone and notification bar to find who is calling. Does anyone else have this issue?
I noticed this just today myself, I missed an important call!
Do you perchance have Google Phone also installed? I had it installed for a while, and I disabled the stock Dialer after installing Google one. But today I found out that the MIUI dialer had un-disabled itself somehow, somewhere along the line. Maybe that's the cause. Or do you only use stock MIUI Phone app?
Thanks. I've now changed my caller app and it works ok now .
