I am thinking about buying a Note 10.1 - however, using a MultiSIM card, I want to avoid the tablet rings when my mobile number is called.
The stock firmware doesn't seem to allow that - anyone knows if Cyanogen does?
Just make it silent or go to airplane mode or you can just press the volume down button and lower the bar for the ringer....... OR do you want something that completely disable the phone so you dont even receive calls at all??

Yes, I'd like to disable the phone completely - like it is on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
there is an option in settings called blocking mode ... this blocks calls and/or notifications during a certain time ... i think this should help
Hi Guys!
Is it this what you search:
[MOD][N8000] Telephony disable / enable (easy over CWM)
Attention this is NOT for CM10.1 but i can do this for CM10.1 too... i need only a Link to your ROM.
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...
(Moderators please move this topic if I am in the wrong forum).
My Pixel 1 received the 9.0 update and I HATE IT.
Google modified the controls over "sound on", "vibrate only", "silent" to Priority and DND many times. With Android 7 and 8 I was satisfied. But now.. they have completely stupidified Android!
A better explanation can be found here although this article is way to kind describing it:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-not-disturb-settings-simplified-single-mode/
Two problems I now have:
1. It is possible to mute your phone while you can still actively control the volume using the side buttons. It is totally unclear whether the phone is actually silent. See screenshot 1.
2. When DND is on (in my case it turns on automatically at night) there is no way to turn it off with the volume buttons anymore. You actually have to go into Settings.
3. When in a meeting and you want to turn in on, normally you could use the volume button down but not anymore
Please, is there anyway to get control over DND via volume buttons again? Some kind of setting I can change via ADB?
Then the other major change: Recent Apps. You no longer have an overview of your recent apps! You cannot just tap the app you want. Instead, your current app screen zooms out and you can scroll left to find out what other recent apps you have.
It's like going back to the stone age. I cannot believe the reasoning behind it. Is there a way to revert back to the better Recent Apps
I am not a programmer or developer at all but these dumb decisions from Google made me wish I was an Android dev who could write an app to change this.
It's also quite frustrating all the big websites write how Android 9 has AI and will improve your life because hey you are probably addicted to your phone.I haven't noticed any AI informing me of app usage. Also all the articles don't say anything about how an update could also be a huge step back I
This feels like a dumber version of Android
Maybe you would prefer LineageOS on your Pixel, instead.
Just found this, I don't know if it will help:

That looks like a nice app! I try to avoid using my physical buttons to help extend their life... but that does seem nice if you use the volume rocker often!
I am using this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
it allows me to add new toggles to my drop down notification toggles and one is for volume controls..
Well there is a shortcut built into Android pi for vibrate mode: when the screen is on, press the volume up and power button at the same time and the phone will vibrate for calls and notifications
Planning to get a new OnePlus 7. Just curious is there a pocket mode available which prevents screen from unlocking when it's in pocket.
yes
if prox sensor is cover you can't wake up the screen touch it. this is by default. But if you push power button that doesn't matter
How can i enable it? I can't find it in settings>Utilities

This outta do it. This app works for ROOTED AND NON ROOTED devices. I really wish Oneplus would carry some of these features on to their new phones. I don't think that will ever happen. The best I could do on my Oneplus 7 Pro was to download the "joneplus Tools [ADB/ROOT]." This app (download from play store or link below) allows you to set a pocket mode quick settings tile which is pretty handy if you don't want it on all the time and can quickly toggle it. Its got a bunch of other cool features that you don't need a root for either . Such as call recording. Without root you can turn on call recording in the native stock dialer for all your calls if you wish. That last part does require the Tasker app for the call recording which is a single $3.49 purchase. Totally worth it in my opinion since it offers tons of features for people who dont want to root. So Just download this app from the play store or apkmirror.
I would add the links but I'm a newbie and they won't let me yet. It really is worth it.
After you have downloaded jOneplus Tools [ADB/ROOT} connect phone to computer to add your ADB permission as I said you don't need to be rooted., but inorder to be able to open the app you just have to run one adb command which is in the instructions of the app. This app is really handy, it features:
-Enable Call Recording in stock app (always on)
-Allows you to edit your quick tile settings count.
-Change Animation Settings
-Turn on/off Navigation Buttons
-Enable always on OTG
-Enable Android P Navigation Gestures
-Switches to monochrome mode from application or QS tile
-Access hidden menus & more
Hope this can help someone....

Sorry about that . I never used it and I'm surprised really. It was oversight. I apologize. I just assumed it worked unun-rooted. My phone is not rooted and I never tried that.
I use this app to record all my calls automatically and to change animation scales. That I confirm works on non rooted devices.
