Has anyone found an app to automatically turn the phone on/off at certain times like the feature in OOS utilities (scheduled power on/off). I've been using the functionality often but want to have something similar on a custom rom

I consider our Tablet to be different than a phone, in the sense that when we turn off the screen, we dont need all the background functions still running. Currently I see TF101 deep sleep battery drain caused by many different functions running in the backend...for example the location services api.
I was thinking of creating a Tasker script that turns off as many different things as possible a few minutes after the screen is turned off.....And turns them back on when the device is unlocked.
I didn't want to spend time reinventing the wheel if this has already been done....
Anyone already try this? Results?
thanks.
I decided I was over-thinking it...and went with tasker scripts to
a) Auto Turn on Airplane mode when the screen goes off
b) Auto Turn off Airplane mode when the device is unlocked.
(This involved using the "Secure Settings" plugin app to allow Airplane mode via tasker on 4.2 JB)
So far the results have been good. i don't see those map api's being called during deep sleep.
Hello,
I have an unrooted Huawei P8. Emui 3.1 - Software version B350. Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
I noticed a strange behaviour when my phone goes into sleep and I can not find anything on the net about this problem.
There is some time I have installed an application "SMSReminder" which notifies me every 5 minutes when I received a SMS that I have not read yet. What I have noticed is when the phone is idle for some time, the application apparently has no more priority to do the reminders though when I unlock the screen, the notification occurs immediately because the App still running on. I thought that here was to be the app that was buggy and I gave up.
Unless I installed another application "Keycut" for managing a smartbutton inserted into the jack (which can manage functions like switching on torch without unlocking the phone, or turn off the wifi). And I have exactly the same behavior. While all the priorities are activated in the notifications and the app is allowed to operate when the phone is in standby, after a while, the smartbouton no longer works. As if the phone was in deep sleep and could not be unlocked only by a call, the button "Power ON" or receiving new SMS.
Concerning the battery management, I work in "smart" mode, but I tried the "High Performance" mode and it have the same behaviour.
There is a menu to select the apps you want to leave during the sleep of the phone. They remain well functioning but no longer react during the sleep.
I therefore appeal for your help to find out if there is a solution and if anyone has encountered this behavior.
thank you in advance
I also have the same issue, would love a fix
Hi
Is anybody able to use Ultra Power Saver button feature of Lenovo P2 with custom ROM's (lineage os or some other)?
Any way to install this feature into them?

I guess this button triggers a feature that is developed by Lenovo specifically for the P2. I guess having that in lineage and other custom work would require coding such a function. Which does not seem impossible.
I tried to guess what this feature does, it seems to mainly stop any running app, Bluetooth, wifi, data, nfc, put the phone in Extreme power saver mode and show a black screen with big numbers and a set of icons to a limited number of applications like the phone and other things I cannot remember. Leaving the "Ultra Power Saver" state restores Bluetooth, wifi, data, nfc if they were enabled.
I guess that you'd need to have support for this button in lineage (maybe it is the case for kernels that are based on stock kernel) and somehow associate this button to this feature, but I don't know Android well enough to know how one would do that. It would be not essential but nice to have as far as I'm concerned. I would also like to be able to use this button for other things.
In case I run into a situation in which I need to save power to such extents, I would turn wifi, bluetooth, data, nfc off, put the phone in extreme power saver mode and force close apps that are likely running in the background (instant messaging, mails, file / contact syncing / backup, integration with computers,…).
Hi folks,
since it seems that there is the 1st custom rom with working one-key button and the stock function of it is rather useless, i wonder if it might be 1 day remapable. If it is, what would u like to do it?
Lets gather some ideas here. Preferably toggable functions.
I would like to see a keylock function. Prevents any user input, also while screen is on.
Maybe something like the opposite of the stock function. A performance booster by tuning govenor settings in cost of battery.
Toggle one of the toggable system settings (bluetooth, w-lan, NFC etc...)
I can also imagine non toggable functions, if the changing of the two states (down to up and up to down) is seperatly assignable.
eg: moving down to up would launch an app, an activity or a shortcut and moving up to down would kill the foreground app or a given app or would bring u back to homescreen.
Please share ur thoughts.
Best regards, Chillmann
Mute switch like on the OnePlus 5t would be really nice!
I think the best will be the keylock feature....
Anyone from below
# Ultimate power save mode [cuz it may kill most background process]
# Guest mode
# DND
# DND
# Power saver in form of lowering cpu/gpu speed
To me, the most useful one would be the torch.
It's perfect for a simple on/off switch and it's the one I happen to be in need of activating quickly without unlocking the phone
Just allow us to Program it with Tasker... That would be the best outcome.
Would be best to be programmable. But since this is an opinion about what would suit best.. i think the power save option should be programmable.. like Efficiency, Power Save, ect.. to the key switch. But a multi function option to that key would be nice.
This version of los 14.1 (Highwaystar) has onekey working. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Bw8U/e3wbC13AR
Its not putting the phone into super saving mode as the one we saw in the stock rom, just the regular saving mode
Did any1 try exposed edge along with highwaystar's build?
At least... since tasker can get power save mode status, we can already use it to tweak ps mode a little bit by reducing screen timeout, turn off whatever could be on like wifi, bluthooth and so on or even load a kernel auditor profile... Not bad so far...

Tried it myself and its not recognizing an event while using powersave key.
And i can confirm a bug, mentioned somewhere else, that locking screen while ps-mode enabled turns screen back on and ps-mode off.
Hi,
I have a Samsung tablet with Android 5.1.1 with the following apps installed:
- Nova launcher
- Autostart And StaY! (used to launch my app at startup ...)
- Buttons remapper
- No Screen Off
- Power Unplugged Shutdown
I have disabled lock / pause / shutdown screen, what Android could do, without my knowledge, if the tablet is not used but is always on and with the battery charger connected?
Help is urgent ...
I created an application that reads the values of some sensors via a Bluetooth module connected to a special circuit, and obviously I want the app to remain active 24 hours a day.
Using the Nova launcher to customize the interface, I launch my app automatically when the S.O. starts. via Autostart And StaYe and disable the buttons with Buttons remapper ... all to prevent the user from leaving my app.
With No screen Off I avoid the screen to turn off while with Power Unplugged Shutdown I turn off the tablet automatically when there is no charging voltage.
Android has function / settings that would block / disable any of the apps / services listed or the apps may no longer work? how can I avoid it?
