Right guys, I updated my Nexus 9 last night to Marshmallow. Everything was working great. I even enabled system UI tuner.
Now for some reason today, I have lost my quick setting pulldown from the top of my screen.
When I pull down down all I get the time and date batt and wifi symbol but no setting beyond that.
Also my home button seems to have a mind as it's own also, press it sometimes and it takes me back, other times I have to press my tab button and swipe programs away to get back to my home screen.
Searched and searched the web for answers, can't find any.
Anybody help?
Think I've answered my own question, I swapped user to guest. And it was back.
Switched back again to my profile and it worked, I think a program I had running was causing it to stop...
where can i find system ui tuner?

If you have marshmallow hold down the gog on your pull down menu from top. It will start to spin then it will enable system UI tuner...

Hey guys! I recently purchased my galaxy from Telus and I must say it's a lovely device. Just a few cons for me is that it's a bit big and the volume rocker button is pretty loose. Other than that everything is just perfect
I just have a few questions if people could take their spare time to help out
1) How do you disable data usage? I tried pulling down the notification bar but there is no data off/on switch, only wifi.
2) If say I have data and wifi simultaneity on, what will exactly happen? Will wifi take over and automatically shut off the data?
3) Is there a way to automatically stop the use of data by having a restriction set up so for example once I hit 980mb, I won't be able to use the data unless I override and make it possible to continue using it. (Is watchdog a perfect app for this?)
4) The wifi/data icon on the status bar, what does the orange arrow going down mean and the other arrow facing up? The arrow facing downwards for my wifi keeps blinking orange/hang and goes back to grey. (Does it mean there something downloading in the background?)
5) What are some ways to improve the battery life of the phone?
6) Is there a way to remove "ME" on the contact list?
7) When I charge the phone through my laptop, it doesn't heat up but through the wall, the charging brick is rather hot. Is this safe?
8) To open the back cover, do you just put your nail/finger tip through the back hole and just use brute force to rip it off or is there something else? I feel like I'm gonna break the cover or the little edge/dimples on the sides of the cover where it fits into the back :l
9) Is there any way to change the brightness through maybe the status bar (moving fingers from right to left increases brightness and vise versa for left to right?) or maybe through notification bar?
10) Also should I have the sync icon on at all times in the notification bar?
11) Also is samsung kies needed? Whats the benefit of having it?
12) Is Samsung Kies needed?
13) I really appreciate the help guys, and last not but least, what are some useful/"needed/essential" apps to help or make life easier for the phone?
This is my first smartphone as I've been using my old lg chocolate for some time now and it just incredible how diverse the android os is but at the same time confusing and stressful to add what and such. I have so many things I want to do with the phone atm but stressful to figure out what to do in order lol.
I'm planning on rooting the phone after I save the contacts to my google.
Thanks everyone!
A quick note, I would take your phone back to the store and get it replaced, your volume rocker should not be lose. I took mine back for the same reason and my new one is fine.
Sorry I didn't answer anything else but I can't see your post on the app, I will later on my laptop.

1. Go to Settings > Data Usage > Mobile Data switch should be at the top
2. Wifi takes priority as long as you are within range and connected to a wifi network. If you leave wifi on but there are no networks it will just default to Mobile Data.
3. Again under Settings > Data Usage > Check the "Set mobile data limit" box
4.Yeah when you are downloading or uploading packets of data the corresponding arrows lightup
5. Turn down brightness, data, gps, bluetooth when not in use
6. You can press and hold contact names to bring up a menu and delete that contact. I'm not sure whether it works on yourself I haven't tried it.
7. Should be fine
8. Yeah just pull back gently the cover shouldn't break
9. Custom roms may implement brightness toggles in the notification bar. search around there are probably apps/widgets that can do the same thing as well.
10. Only if you want to sync data. For example if its off but you keep mobile data on, widgets such as weather and facebook won't update until you do it manually, but you can still use the internet normally. This will save some battery life.
11. Are you on a Mac or PC? On a PC you probably don't need it. On a Mac by default your computer won't detect it so using Kies is probably the easiest way to transfer files.
12. See above.
13. If you plan on rooting your phone there are a lot of useful apps such as titanium backup, wifi tether, etc. You can do a lot of customization of the homescreen if you don't like the way it looks check out other "launchers" on the google play store such as Apex launcher or Go launcher. Also there are ton of different keyboard replacements if you don't like the stock keyboard. Popular ones inclue swiftkey and swype. Just go explore
Oh and don't forget the XDA App (Duh)

Thank you so much i'll have to check out the custom roms or the widgets for brightness and I'm not sure if the loose volume button is bad enough that later on it'll popout or something. One thing I notice about it is that if i lay my thumb on it, i can move it from side to side (towards the face and down) and because the button isn't separated into a + -, there seems to be a click sound even though i click the middle of the button. Last note is if I gently tap the volume button you'll hear a light click sound cause it's loose. I just want to make sure if anyone else has this problem or is theres really stiff? The power button and homebutton stay in place but the volume just feels weird , not to mention if you shake the phone you can hear that something is loose (the volume button)
EDIT: I forgot to add two other questions that someone could clarify:
1) I've read other threads about this too but I seem to be only getting one bar of wifi, and it's pretty slow for some reason. But when I go on 4g/lte it's amazingly fast - only problem is I won't be using the data network much. Any fix to this wifi issue? I've done the *#0011# and doesn't help at all.
2) Every time I enter the gallery it seems to detect all my pc connected to my wifi. Any to way to stop this? Because I use to be able to delete photos but now I can' because a computer icon replaced the delete button. Same goes for the music player, on the top left cornor theres a computer icon and if you click on it, it'll show change player

1. Depends how far you are from the router and how many walls are in your way. It could also be from interference from a neighbor's router. I would recommend downloading the app Wifi Analyzer. It will tell you which channel your router is on vs. all the other routers around you, and it will tell you the best channel to use (look for the screen with the star ratings) for your router.
2. I haven't used the gallery much, and I use Google Music instead of the stock player. I'll look into the gallery thing, though. Update: OK. So, when you press the Menu button on the main Gallery page, one of the options is to scan for nearby devices. You probably selected it to see what it did, and this is probably why it's showing all the other devices in your house. Wierd thing is, there is no way to disable it. The Gallery app doesn't seem to have a settings menu. What you can try is pressing menu, then View By, then selecting "Content in device". That should show only the things on the phone.
Also, if my volume buttons were making a rattling noise when I shook the phone, I would take the phone back for a replacement, especially if it bothered me. My volume buttons are solid.

Thanks for the help! I wen't back to exchange my phone but it seems all the other phones for display and the ones i exchanged had the same shaky/loose volume. Guess i'll just have to stick with it.
Hello. I'm a long time lurker, first time thread creater.
I have an Evo V from VM that's rooted, s-off, hboot 1.50 that was running CM10.1
Randomly it seems out of nowhere, the bottom strip stopped working. In other words I couldn't hit the calls button, the app drawer button, or the other 3 buttons on the homescreen. The hardware buttons still worked, and directly above the line of the homescreen dock worked. When in an app like greenify I couldn't hit the button to allow an app access, or in messaging I couldn't hit the text box to bring up the keyboard and start typing. When I went to do something that automatically brought the keyboard up I couldn't hit the spacebar, etc. At first I figured it was a hardware problem but now I'm not sure. This is because I enabled the dev option that shows you the input the phone is receiving. The little white dot came up exactly where I was touching, I just wasn't getting a response and I can't figure why. Tried the DU rom and the same thing. Tried the pacman rom and had the same problem. Yet the phone says that there is input there, things just aren't happening. This is further validated with the fact that when in 4ext, anything at the bottom of the screen where the dead zone would be, still works. Restored my CM backup when nothing else worked and for now the dead zone seems to be actually gone. But Idk how long that will last. Any ideas?
I'm guessing it's the pie controls getting in the way.
Go to settings>system>pie settings>trigger area>none
See if that fixes the problem.
Hello. I've got a Nexus 7 rooted with the most recent version of SmoothROM on it. I'd like to use the tablet in a sort of kiosk mode. Right now I'm using a combination of the full!screen app and by enabling Quick Controls from the Labs menu in the stock browser. This gives me the fullscreen I need by removing control buttons, etc, and the Quick Controls removes the URL and forces the browser into a full screen mode. To access the settings you touch anywhere on the right or left edge of the browser and a menu instantly pops up. That is where my problem is. Is there anyway to delay that pop up? Ideally I'd like to have to hold it for a few seconds before it pops up. Even just having it activate in only one spot would be nice.
Any idea if this is somehow possible?
Thanks
So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.
Currently this is only for a rooted phone
I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here
But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.
As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE
Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.
Check out this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spada.nowgesturetweaksfree
I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.
I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

very useful. menu for navigation is long long outdate. software nave or 3 dots is the customary way to go. adding a secondary menu button is redudant and unnecessary. my little ewww comment brought a lot to the table. you tryingt to call me out on it is less useful.

lol f off
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.
It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.
The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.
All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.
So, i made it, i use it. It works.

Hi! I've been using Pocophone for about two weeks now, so far I like the phone for the performance and simplistic UI.
But I've been experiencing some problem, especially with the Screen Pinned
Sometimes when I'm using the phone, I accidentally get into Screen Pinned mode and because I'm using gesture mode for navigation I can't press home button / back button. I just can't get out of the Screen Pinned. The only way to get out of it is to restart the phone, which is kinda annoying.
Is there any way to get out of Screen Pinned while in gesture mode? I tried to use the shortcuts to kill the app, but it still doesn't work.
Or is there even a way to disable the Screen Pinned?
Can someone please help?

This problem is available on miui devices. Im using a redmi note 7 and this is the most annoying bug in the os that the first app in the recent apps have the screen pinning button and every time i accidentally press it i have to reboot my phone to exit the app properly and make the phone system function again. If anyone knows a workaround, please help.
If you still wondering, try downloading setedit from play store, and change the value of "lock_to_app_enabled" to 0
