Simpler access to Do Not Disturb? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I recently upgraded from a G3 to a G5. I've done pretty well at adjusting it to my needs, or adjusting to its ways of doing things. But the Do Not DIsturb being buried solely in the Settings menu is really driving me nuts. On the G3, when you hit any volume button, and it opens the volume panel, the Do Not Disturb was accessible there. You could turn it on, set it to Silent or Priority and set a time duration, all from that panel. Now I can turn Do Not Disturb on from the main drop-down on the phone, but I have to open up the settings, from the Settings menu, in order to put in what type of Do Not Disturb I want, and for how long. I have a lot of doctors appointments and I'm starting classes in a few weeks. I would really prefer to have a faster and easier way to access DnD, similar to what was on the G3.
Does anyone know if there's a setting, shortcut, widget, or anything along those lines, that can simplify turn on DnD, with access to its settings at the time you activate it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Maybe this is not what you're looking for, but a "do not disturb" button can be added to the notification screen. Short press to turn it on/off, long press will take you into settings.
This screenshot is from my G6, but my wife's G5 works the same way. "Do no disturb" is second from right.

It doesn't fully give me what I'd like - which is the ability to turn on DnD and set the parameters of it all at once, on the home screen, as I could with the G3. But it does save me several steps in the process, in several processes actually, knowing that if I hold down on those items in the notification screen it will open straight to their settings. I did not know that. And it's going to simplify a lot of things for me. Just knowing I can easily open Wifi networks, Bluetooth devices, and the like, from that screen, is extremely helpful. Thanks!

It's easy,
Download and install HTCustom from here:
http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
In the "UI" tab you can select in Clock Display one of these options:
Time, Date, Both, Nothing or Battery
Select the one you like, save and soft reset.
Cheers,
Works a treat, only thing is it now hides the volume and half the signal status icons.
If i tap in the empty space it does bring up the volume slider, The icon is just invisble.
when i open a program its is still shown like above.
If i slide open then close again (refreshing the screen) it looks fine. but once back to the today screen it it goes back to like the image above.
On another tanget, the battery status bar (Lordsmiff's) at the top doesnt always work.
I have to stop and restart the app to get an accurate reading, that or view the power status in the settings tab, then go back to the today screen.
Anyone able to shed some light on either of these matters?
Cheers

[Root] [KitKat] How to Disable Knock On

I love knock on, and it works great for me. But some people apparently have a problem with the phone turning on in their pocket. The Sprint ZV6 update supposedly has some changes included to address this problem, but how effective it will be is anyone's guess. I was recently involved in a discussion elsewhere as to whether it would be possible to use Tasker to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket, but I don't think it is.
I did discover another approach, though, that will work. Verified on the LS990 with BarRin v2, but it should work on any rooted G3 with a stock-based kernel. ( IF you have an AT&T or T-Mobile version, you can probably find this setting in HiddenMenu without using the Shortcut Master app, by entering the dialer codes as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365)
Note that this will turn off both knock on and knock OFF. If you still want to use knock off, you'll need to use one of the many screen off apps in the play store, in combination with an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex.
1. Download and install Shortcut Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. Open the app and select Search from the menu. Enter hiddenmenu in the search field, and press search.

3. Scroll down and find the row for com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.LgSrvKnockonSetting
4. Tap that row, and then tap on "Launch"
5. Change the toggle from On to Off, then back out of Shortcut Master.
You can repeat the steps to turn it back on.
Been using this since day one. Worse idea I've ever heard of, having this enabled. I'm sure other will appreciate this too.
Thanks.
also for verizon,search knock and you should find it for verizon users
Same, I disabled this right away back in Sept using the exact method posted. But awesome tutorial, pics and all. Good work!

Marginally, yes but barely noticeable. Unless it was constantly going off in your pocket, thats a big battery waster, lol.

[Q] Power button instant lock - how to turn off?

Hi, got HAM2. Very impressed. Wish it had Qi, but aside really good.
Q: How do I turn off power button instant lock?
Android always has this option, but for some reason I can't find it in settings!
In my MT2-L05 EMUI3.0 it's in Settings/Security/Power button instantly locks.

Wow, I just tried it myself and I get the same problem. Good job, Huawei...
Ya... and I'm having a hard time finding a module. any help would be appreciated
My HAM2 doesn't have this problem. I have the Delayed Lock app from the play store which modifies the locking though. I've also frozen the hwunlock lock screen since it was interfering.

Happy to hear. Also if you want to clean up the notification, the Delayed Lock app can still run if you hide it's notification (long press on it then uncheck show notifications), it still works fine and the Notification bar is clean. Mine is set to auto lock after about 20 mins from when I turn off my screen and I also created a shortcut on my home screen to instantly lock it and turn off the screen (have to set wake to lock mode in the settings of the app). If you want to a shortcut like that you can do this in Nova Launcher (or something similar in other launchers). Long press and empty space on the homescreen. Choose shortcuts then delayed lock shortcuts then Lock now (which also turns off the screen).

Opaque on screen buttons.

So with the drawer locked (little button) it's not see through but with it unlocked but on screen you can see through. Why can't I see through on locked mode like on Google phone.

EDIT: SORRY, re-reading for like the sixth time I see I did misunderstand your question. You are only asking about ONE on screen button that is opaque vs translucent -- and the conditions WHY -- not about the entire navigation bar (which LG calls Home Touch buttons) being translucent or even visible. Anyway, hope my answer below this helps someone else!
To answer YOUR question... maybe LG feels that one button being opaque is an easy visual indicator it is locked. Then, unlocked it's translucent. Whereas Google doesn't have such styling concerns.

If I'm understanding the question correctly, and I admit I may not...
It had to do with whether you are in full screen mode or not. Sometimes called immersive mode. When NOT in that mode, you will always have the navigation buttons at the bottom. LG calls them "Home Touch buttons".
When in that mode, navigation buttons are translucent or even missing (invisible). When missing you can swipe up from the bottom to make them appear. They will then appear and be translucent. You might want immersive mode for videos or such.
There's a Settings menu to decide which apps you always want to be in immersive mode. Or you can manually do it by clicking on that very left small arrow button on the by navigation bar (unless you've rearranged the icons). I think you referred to it as "locking the drawer" which confused me.
I really only want video to be immersive. With this V30 tall screen, I don't mind visible navigation buttons at the bottom.
I found this issue because my corporte email app, called Nine, didn't have arrows at the bottom for me to go back easily. I could swipe up and force the navigation bar to appear, but other apps were not that way. Sort of irritating. So,I found the Settings menu with all my apps listed, where Nine had this "feature" enabled. I disabled it for that app.
This may not be exactly what you're asking about, and if so then I apologize.

Question Android keeps turning on "Do not disturb" while driving

Hi everyone!
Since the last Android update on my Pixel 6, "Do not disturb" keeps turning on every time I get into my car. I have repeatedly disabled it, only for it to come back on by itself. I've checked my Sync settings and I can't find anything that would be turning this on. I have deleted the Driving Mode in Schedules repeatedly and I have also tried leaving it in Schedules, but disabled.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

This tells me how to turn it on.... how do I stop it from turning on? I keep deleting the rule, but it automatically adds it again without asking me.
