I'm running Lineage 15.1 on my Moto G5 Plus and I have to say I'm very satisfied with everything in the new release with the exception of one thing: the annoying popup it gives you when you turn off mobile data. Does anyone know how to turn this off? It's driving me nuts, reminds me of my old Samsung.
Any help, suggestions, or simply +1s are appreciated.
I'd like to know that too. Mighty annoying little popup.
Why Android, Why?
So makes me want to toss my phone every time, multiple times a day, all day long.
YES, I'm f** sure, that's why i clicked it and additionally that's why I put it in a list of fixed quick commands because I fully am aware exactly what the f*** it's suppose to do.
It's a popup that covers 85% of my screen that can be swiped away ONLY if you DO NOT want it to do what you want, why is this backwards. Asking Bixby or Google to turn of mobile data as part of a list of commands is not possible, ie. "I'm home" is set up to 1.turn on wi-fi 2.Turn off mobile data 3.Open calendar - What happens instead is 1.wi-fi-on 2.attempt to mobile data off - popup for confirmation 3.opens calendar - But mobile data never turns off because the popup was never confirmed, so for all I know I get booted off wi-fi and am streaming movies on mobile data. So makes Bixby and Goggle "quick commands" USELESS to me. Forcing me to touch my phone more often than I should have to, forcing me to really think that Android may believe we are as clueless to customization as iOS users, Forcing me to have to stop and stare at phone in disgust
Do I really need to be told 6 times a day this same message over and over? On top of the daily harassment of 2 dozen popups about damaging my hearing from loud volume. IT'S MY HEARING !
Where is the "Don't show again" button? Why need a confirmation instead of just a notification? You want to tell me that wifi is disconnected - sure, tell me data is off/on - sure thanks, but why is there an extra button to push for anything to happen anymore. Not very "Smart" these days, OR they think we're not as smart these days. IDK but I need a fix, anybody?
I know how u feel bro am having the same problem on my asus zenfone max pro.
I searched everywhere.
Haven't found a clue how to.

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) 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!

Make sure you read what I wrote at the bottom too...
1) Disable by going into settings>mobile networks>data enabled (check or uncheck)
2) Disable data usage for a set limit under settings>more>set data limit. This will turn off mobile data when the limit you set is reached.
3) Answered in 2.
4) Wifi turned on and connected means your data is only going across wifi network, cell data no being used.
5) Improved battery life is really achieved through a new rom and kernel. Anything else is really a gimmick, except screen brightness.
6) Not that I'm aware of.
7) The wall charger charges at a higher rate/higher rating so that will always make sense. It's fine.
8) Yes
9) Not on stock unless you have a custom theme or locker app. Just root and use a different rom (Task650's is always the best IMO).
10) You probably have a sync error. Go to settings>Accounts and Sync and look through your account to see what is going on. THere may be one item checked that needs to be unchecked and rechecked.
11) Kies will install the proper drivers but depending on what you need now, it's not really a necessity. More info.
12) Swype Beta
YOU ARE REALLY NEW TO ALL THIS SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO READ FOR A MONTH BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO ROOT ANYTHING. THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ASKED ARE SO BASIC I'M WORRIED YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE. YOU NEED TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME READING. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON... ALL THE ANSWERS I GAVE YOU ARE EXPLAINED BUT YOU HAVE TO READ AND FIND THEM. These guys will chew you up Noob if you're not careful. Read read read.
With time you'll get to root and flash all day, but until you have the basics down, spend your time on here reading. That's what I did and ever day I learn something new.

Well for better battery life try turning off the motion activated actions within the settings. I found that I can easily add about another hour of total usage once disabling these. Turn off smart stay as well. Also if your going to use google chrome, going into the settings and turn off enable tilt scrolling
Hi!
I have a few very annoying problems I want to get rid of.
The first is that all sorts of push notifications are often (if not always) very delayed. For example, when someone's played Wordfeud and it's my turn it can take up to 20 minutes before the phone alerts me. Same thing with Whatsapp and other apps. I did a factory reset recently and the problem seemed solved but after just a few hours the delays began to appear again. Both with 3G and Wi Fi.
It is the same thing with the built in FB-chat. Sometimes messages are also delayed for up to an hour. Occationally when I enter the Message hub and swipes to Online tab the messages arrives but it's rare. It could at first appear as work when two or maximum three messages arrives but then the conversation just dies and I must go to the Facebook app to view and continue the chat. Also after the factory reset it worked somewhat fine but just like with Push notifications it didn't work long enough... Same here, both over 3G and Wi Fi.
Does anyone have a single clue of what the issue is here?
Is the phone checking for new notifications in a certain pattern, like every 30 minutes?
I'm not completely sure if this is the right forum for this but I'm beginning to be kind of desperate. Notifications on iOS and Android works like a charm and I don't think the Lumia with WP should be behind in this matter.
Extremly thankful for answers.

its not a problem of software, its a wanted feature of microsoft, wp7 doesnt have any multitastking, so if you turn of wifi and whatsapp is running, wifi is turned off for some minutes and if you turn on screen, wifi connects and whatsapp gets your messages, thats what i realized..
next phone wont be wp. :/ nice OS but the little things like this are annoying

Thanks for the reply!
But that's the strange thing, even if i don't turn off the screen and keep the phone "awake" there are no toast. The push notifications were instant for a few hours after the factory reset so there must be something that is "blocking" push messages. Same thing with the fb-chat. The chat should also work without problems even when the screen is turned off.
Me too are also considering walking out of Microsoft on this one. The OS is very beautiful and everything is so thought through but they still have som work to do.
Yes, background agents run every 30 minutes
thats why i wont buy a wp phone anymore. its really annoying and not SMARTphone like!
But shouldn't push messages be pushed through nearly instant?
it should be popup in the second it arrives
Exactly. Even if the screen is unlocked and wifi 3G is connected and all that it still is a delay.
The problem seem to have solved itself! I don't know what I've done but one morning I woke up and everything worked smoothly. Let's hope the issue doesn't return!
Data connection should be enabled for Push notifications to work. Maybe you went above your data cap or sometimes the 3G reception got lost.
Also, are you sure that app uses Push notifications and not regular Toasts sent by a background agent ?
Ok Allow me to explain.
I am sure there will be naysayers saying it isn't possible or attribute it to placebo effect or whatever.
I am having really sensitive issues with my Samsung galaxy S2.
Before I had a simple nokia. I didn't use it as much, and I didn't experience any discomfort.
Now with my S2 I am feeling pains/stings, in my stomach, brain, teeth, heart, eyes, legs, fingers.
I know how it sounds, but that's appearently how sensitive I am.
I know it is caused by the device, but I don't know what causes it. For example wifi feature, basic call/receive- cell phone technology something else or a combination.. I didn't test this as much.
Even if I am doing something else and someone *activates their phone* meaning the screen lits up, and I don't even see the person doing it.
I know usually very quickly that a phone is nearby.
So when the phone screen is dark. I don't experience it as much, more so when it is in *usermode*.
Anyway I don't wanna sell it because I don't know exactly what is causing it and it cost me 300 euro's. I still have my basic Samsung for calls.
I still want to use it for mp3 playback because I like the way it works + some offline games.
So my question here is. I already disabled wifi+ mobile data+bluetooth icon
Is there a way to de-activate the MOST components other then what I need to use the mp3 player+ play plats vs zombies for example.
I want to de-activate or freeze everything with Titanium backup tool or maybe you guys know a better way?
Please assist me in what is safe to freeze.
look at the stickied thread in themes n apps section.. :good:
This is not helping my friend.
I need someone who knows what they are talking about.
I want to shut down every service/ app that may communicate any kind of signal, mobile/wifi.
Does the Samsung really not put out any wifi signal when u press off the icon?
What services may block incoming calls or "checking" connecting to the airwaves/network.
Basically I want the telephone dead of emitting anything..
I don't care about normal apps that don't use any kind of emittance.
Hi chrisssj2,
When you press off the icon it just shuts down wifi so no it doesnt put out any wifi signal.
The best and safest way is just to freeze apps since you have to do more work when you accidently deleted an neccesary app.
The service that does checking connecting to mobile network is telephony/ril service, I dont know the exact name how samsung calls it but you can use airplane mode since it disables simcard/mobilenetwork and it disables wifi.
You could also disable bluetooth and location services/gps.
It seems that you are very, very sensitive to electronic devices.
There is also probably also a list of applications what you can disable on your galaxy s2 but I cant find it for you since my browser on my tablet (chrome) updated and now bugs like hell.
Did you already went to a doctor or maybe googled on internet about your sensitivity for electronic devices? Maybe there is like a temporary fix or a solution for that problem like some kind of case which reduces it so it won't irritate you.
Hello,
How do I use airplane mode? I have heard of this but I have never used such thing.
I have wifi gps, vibrate, screen rotate, blue tooth. mobile data, power saving, sync .
Only things on are powersaving, vibrate and sync. (not sure what sync does)
No I haven't. Because I know it isn't an accepted thing... you know people calling you crazy and all..
I read they have stickers for it, but there also naysayers on this.. not sure.
I also have disabled wifi on my internet router. I hope the signal is really 100% off when you do this. So I can really test how Ill feel.
I did not find this "telephony/ril service"...
I am not overreacting because I have been annoying on it for like 1 year now (got the phone almost 2 years now.) And I just seem to get more sensitive to it.. and have been ignoring it, but now something said enough is enough..
Anyway I took out the sim and put it in my simple nokia phone.
I will be so happy if I not get electrocuted by my phone and can listen music on it ^^
Very important to me, I like it way better then a normal mp3 player.
Hello, everybody, lemme tell you all a quick story
First of, i want to apologize my english, it isn't my native language, so, ill try to do my best.
Alright, lets go straight to the point.. Im that kind of guy who doesnt uses "Phone Calls" or "SMS" anymore, since we have lots of Apps which can do that service for us, just by using the Inthernet connection, so, yea. But, like everybody does (Or am i the only one?) My father/grandma/grandpa and some other members of my family, they like it oldschool and arent that updated with technology, so, they dont have smartphones and stuff...
The point is, my family (mainly father, he calls me a lot) seems to be complaining about, trying to call me, and receiving the notice that my phone has "no signal or is turned off" and cant talk to me during this time... I found it all strange, since my phone is 24/7 On and signal receiving, and i dont have signal problems where i live, never had. So i started with some tests, took another phone (To call mine), and the results i found was:
1. After i hibernate my phone using greenify hibernator (I used to use the action like double tap on screen with Nova Launcher, so it Hibernates + lock Screen), the phone goes like, deeply hibernated. When i try to call myself using another phone, it does say that "The number you are trying to talk has no signal or device is off".
2. Then i go on my phone, unlock it, and open the PHONE stock app, and try again calling my phone, and, the same error occurs...
3. Then, i go on my phone again, and try calling someone, and no success (i dont even hear the sounds of regular calling, it just says "Couldnt complete your call" and goes back to my Dialer screen), BUT after that, when i try calling my own phone back again, it does ring normally.
CONCLUSIONS: I think that Greenify is hibernating some kind of service that is used by my phone to make/receive calls... (Yea, i tried uninstalling Greenify to see if problem is solved, and it was, but i dont want to stay without Greenify). About my phone and settings on Greenify, Here we go:
DEVICE: Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, running Stock 5.1.1 latest version of LP, rooted, debloated and deodexed.
GREENIFY SETTINGS: [Running it in Root Mode, XPosed Module ON] The only apps i have listed to auto-hibernate, are those famous draining apps like, Facebook/Messenger, Instagram, only stuff like that... No System apps are selected to hibernate. The options i have checked are "Wakeup Timer Coalescing", "Telephony Wakeup", "Don't Remove Notifications" and, thats all.
How can i proceed to keep Greenify installed and keep my Phone working properly at the same time? I even had serious discussions with my family complaining about my phone, that they can never talk to me, bla bla bla, now that i realized that the problem is on my phone, i really want to solve it.
Thanks, sorry for my english once again, and big text.
@EDIT: After hours making changes in-app and setting the whole phone up, i figured out that the problem wasnt with Greenify, the problem was with my Carrier Provider... Thanks
@Closerequest
You can hide the apps from Greenify
I hide my phone and signal apps from Greenify. That's using Greenify lingo because Greenify uses the word 'Hide' to mean exclude from Greenify. Anyway, click the + icon then show more at the bottom. A list of apps are shown and you can highlight apps you don't want Greenify to manage. Now, if the app you're wanting to exclude is not here, it means that it's already being managed by Greenify so go back to previous screen with the apps being categorized by Greenify then you first need to take them away from the big G (Greenify) by highlighting them and clicking the Minus
(−) icon. Then proceed to Hide (or exclude) them as described above, clicking the plus (+) sign, Show More, you will now see the apps you were looking for just waking up and yawning and furious at you for waking them up. Expect sluggish performance at first depending on how long they've been sleeping. Tell them they're not bears while you highlight them then click the Hide icon (circle with diagonal slash). Stop your ears from listening to their side comments while you swipe the screen away to get back to reading the news using Smartnews app. The gall of paid apps complaining. ?
Hello,
I'm from Windows 10 Mobile (and previously WP 8.1 and WP 7) and I also used iOS from time to time on an iPad. However I have now an Android phone (OP7TPro), and there is something particularly bothering me:
I'm part of those people who turn off their phone for the night and then turn it on upon waking in the morning. But sometimes I like to keep notifications in my notifications center to act on them later (the following day for example, or even later).
However on my new Android device I realized they automatically go away from the notifications center after turning off the phone and then turning it on. I can't figure out how to solve this problem.
Could you help me please?
(also I heard the notifications management on Android is quite weird, but I didn't understand exactly why)
Thank you in advance!

Instead of turning your phone off, just turn on dnd (do not disturb)
