Notifications coming through in Airplane mode - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I put my phone in Airplane mode last night, yet the US Open app woke me during the night (I'm in the UK) alerting me to a score in a tennis match. How is this even possible when the phone is in Airplane mode?

Airplane mode won't disable WiFi.
Turn off Notification in the Notification bar

Are you sure? Shouldn't Airplane mode disable ALL transmitters and receivers?
Also, is there any way to turn off Notification using NFC Task Launcher?

Yes I'm sure.
It'll turn off mobile data but not wifi.
You can test it out yourself, try to browse on wifi when you will have Airplane mode on.
You will be.
As for the 2nd questions, it's possible through tasker I think.
And then you can use that task on NFC task launcher.

Problem: Airplane Mode...

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with Airplane mode: I can only swtich it on via tha power button.
I use Quick Profiles in order to manage the sounds profiles but the application can't switch Airplane Mode on, it can only switch if off.
I've tryed with Elixir too and I've got same problem: Elixir can't switch Airplain Mode on too (off yes).
Any idea?
I've installed the kernel found in XDA forum in order to overclock and obviously I've rooted my LG OPtimus One...
Up! Noone cna help me!?
If you're looking for an application that can control Airplane Mode without using the power button, search the Market for the application called "Quick Settings". It has an Airplane Mode switch (use Menu - Customize if you don't see it at the beginning, the application has many switches and they can be added or removed as you like).
But if profiles it's what you're interested in (not just switching the Airplane Mode on/off without using power button), Quick Settings is not good as it cannot store and apply profiles.
Firm me also Widgetdroid is well working...
Thanks for the response but I think the problem is not related to th app I use to switch it off because I've just used Quick Profiles and it worked well.
Probably I install something that make the app not working.. only the power button works now.
It's very strange. I've tryed to reinstall Quick Profiles but I've got the same problem...
Isn't it Juice Defender?
No, I don't have Juice Defender.

Can't get alarm clock to work!

I can't get my S3 to wake me up... I have set the alarm to 8.30 in the morning on all days, but it won't ring...
I turn off sounds when i go to bed because i dont want to wake up if i get a call during the night.
Do i turn off the alarm sound when i turn off the sound??
Why not test it out yourself?
Just set an alarm for like 1 or 2 minutes from now with sounds off and then try the same with sounds on and you will have your answer in less than 5mins
I use the alarms but instead of turning off sounds so as not to be disturbed at night I just put the phone into flight mode (actually I use an app to automatically switch on flight mode at 12:30am and turn it off at 7:30am).

My alarm always makes a sound even when my phones on vibrate or mute.

i'm using go master it allows to create profiles and switch between them by defining time periods also theres an app called llama see both
I'm using 'Auto Airplane Mode', it's very basic but it is free and does the job
Skivnit has some good suugestions there if you want to set up specific profiles.

Flight mode/ airplane mode

Hi I am looking for a 'working' flight mod app or widget. I have used several so far but they are not turning off data. Its annoying at night when all is quiet at home to suddenly get a notification coming in. The little plane icon is usually there but the data is still on. So any thoughts on one that works on our phones with a rooted stock rom or modded rom? thanks
You can turn off "data" Settings in 4.2.2 (Settings > More.. > Mobile Network > untick Mobile data) or you can use the default Power Control widget to toggle data on and off..
if thats what you mean...

I'm using SwitchPro Widget setted up as notification panel toggles and it works fine except the torch.
OMG it does not work, didn't noticed before couse i usually untick wifi, data and sync before to set airplaneode on.
So any other app is working?
Thanks for the replies but the real issue still exists that even though the flight mode is activate in settings i am still getting SMS's and emails coming through and this morning when it was switched off there was no data at all coming through, maybe a reboot will fix a few things but that shouldnt be the case, should it?
I did a search for data switch apps and found one that switches off the data so that may do instead of a flight mode one. thanks again for your replies
Notification Toggle
Give it a go, it works

[Q] Stamina Mode

Do you usually turning on the stamina mode settings in your Z2?

My stamina mode is always on but appears not to work at all. I keep getting notifications on both wifi and LTE from all apps that can produce them (not only whitelisted), and I get them immediately even when the "queue background data" is on.
I tend to be forgiving because battery life is fantastic. With my normal use I usually don't go under 60% at the end of the day. The phone uses maybe 0.5% / h when idle.
Indeed, stamina mode does prolong the battery. I got 2days 18hours till10% on stamina mode without any wifi, but on 3G.
Always on with around 8 apps on the white list. Get 2 days of normal day to day use. A little less if on heavy usage

Always on, but as someone stated, i dont see it working. Dont get me wrong, battery life is amazing, just that my background data seems to be working same way doesnt matter stamina on or off.. for example i have torrent app, its not on whitelist, still downloads just fine after phone goes to sleep.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want Stamina mode to always be on you have to change the setting:
Settings > Power management > STAMINA mode > Activation
to 100%
I did some tests because I was confused after reading the manual, and it appears to me that just toggling STAMINA mode to "on" does not turn it on permanently. It still waits for the battery level to drop to the activation threshold you set.
I personally set mine to 20% because I don't want STAMINA mode on all the time.
Let us know if you know more about this or experiment more and get some results. The manual is really not very clear on STAMINA mode.

Good observation, I haven't use the stamina mode since it came out of the box. How was the battery life when Stamina mode is on?

I'm worried if I use the stamina mode I will keep getting notification(wifi, mobile data etc.) and sure it will be very annoying.

Great. I'm a little curious about the battery life of the new HTC M8 if they can also get 2 days in stamina mode? Same settings as yours?

It seemed very good, maybe half the drain of regular mode, but I have limited experience because the Z2 battery is so good I rarely go below 20% :victory:
Hey guys, yesterday I just got my third Z2 due to faults with the others and I simply don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time with stamina mode is down to 1 day and a few hours again down from 6 days yesterday night! Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need on my phone and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (7% in 30 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing stamina mode to play up!
Is there a work around for the notification lights not working as normal in stamina mode. Its the only thing that stops me using it daily.

Yes, you need to install Xposed Framework and load the Xperia Stamina LED module. You'll need to be rooted first however.

If Stamina doesn't work, try to clear cache & data in settings / app / eco controller

I've seen this "eco controller" in previous Xperia models' forums, but couldn't find it on the Z2.
Am I missing something?

Delayed notifications with apps

Hi,
Ever since updating to 402 firmware & unlocking BL I have noticed a issue with notifications being delayed, I use DoubleTwist alarm app (paid) & set alarm to go off at 9 am, I then wake up thinking I have woken up before the alarm has went off but when I double tap the screen to see the time as soon as the lock screen appears the alarm then goes off & the time is 10:30 am which as you can imagine causes problems with being late, the stock alarm app works fine & goes off at the right time with no issues.
The Calendar app does the same, if I get a reminder then tap snooze for 30 mins it wont notify me again till I unlock the screen & then the app shows the snoozed reminder.
I have done full system reset, wipes etc & cleared data & then uninstalled the DoubleTwist alarm app but the issue still keeps happening.
Any idea's?
Me also facing the same problem seems like we have to wait for the new firmware to fix the bug

Yeah hopefully the 438 firmware will fix the issue, just wondering though if you use stamina mode on with extended standby option enabled?

If you're using Stamina Mode then make sure to include the said app in the exclusion list so that it can run in the background while Stamina is on.
I had to do that in order to stop my smartwatch from disconnecting itself every time I want to view a notification.
Cheers for the reply HussainQ, I do have DT alarm app in the whitelist along with calendar app, calendar sync etc, about 24 apps in the list so far.
What annoys me is that Sony changed stamina mode in 402, before on 55 I could just tap the quick tile to turn it on without having to have extended standby or extended usage enabled ie using the quick tile turned stamina mode on without getting the the cancel/configure box, in 402 now tapping the quick tile brings up that cancel/configure box & stamina mode won't stay on unless I tick extended standby.
