Hello,
I am writing here because I have encountered an error and I cannot find a solution to fix it anywhere.
I have Redmi Note 5 with MIUI 11.0.3.
I clicked Optimise Battery and among other options to optimise the option "Save power when device is locked" was ticked by default. Than I clicked green button "Add X minutes". Than I realised this option causes the GPS to turn off when device is locked. But there is no way now to turn off this option "save power when device is locked". It is nowhere to be found in settings.
Looks like it is a software error, where battery optimizer turns on this option but there is no way to turn it off later in any way.
I am attaching a screenshot, you can see this option in "optimised" category and there is nothing to be done to turn this off.
Please help me how to disable this option, because having GPS when device is locked is important to me.
Thanks
Konrad Dolowy

You can't keep GPS on while screen is off and in power saver mode.
However you can keep google navigation on in the background, which in return can keep the GPS on no matter what is your state of your device.
Or you can download this app, it claims to keep GPS on in background. (Probably uses the same logic of google navigation)
I haven't tested the app though. And I think it would stop working once you turn power saver mode, and didn't add the app to whitelist.
I believe google find my device can keep GPS on in the background as well, even in power saver mode. (Since it has administrator permission)
I recommend trying google find my device first. I wouldn't feel safe sharing my location with too much apps, and google is enough.
Similarly you can try adding any app that uses GPS to the whitelist.
Hope I helped.

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:

...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

Hey guys,
I want to know if it's possible to schedule the SGS2 to power on automatically at a certain time.
This is possible on symbian phones, If we set an alarm for morning and turn off the phone completely, the phone turns on automatically at alarm time.
I did a lot of searching around, and found this thread of most recent activity

apparently it has been done in Spice mi-270.
Can it be done on the sgs2/other phones as well? or is there some other alternative?
I don't want the basic alternatives such as airplane mode, nomoarpowah, power scheduler, etc... just want phone to turn on automatically at a set time..
Any replies would be appreciated

You could try to use Juice Defender from Google Play.
Although I think it has an option to switch phone to airplane mode instead of "turn off" mode. But still you can try it I think
Regards,
When you turn a Symbian phone "off" you actually don't. Its just a really deep sleep mode, which comes out of a deep sleep when an alarm is due to go off for example. Android actually turns off, hence why we can get to the very core of the system, I.e. recovery, download etc.
Try pulling the battery on a Symbian phone, I bet it won't wake itself for an alarm. Obviously after you put the battery back in.

NoMoarPowah! does the trick
Hey guys,
I have a couple of questions.
1) Is my RAM usage normal? It's always 80%+ occupied. (Please see the screenshot)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) WiFi doesn't turn off during sleep although I have checked the option and there is no app forcing WiFi to stay awake. None that I know of except Viber that I have selected "Use device's sleep policy".
Also I couldn't find any strings in build.prop that state something related to WiFi during sleep.
3) What is Google backup transport?
4) Why does it show two "Settings storage" apps?
5) Voice command "Go to ..." doesn't bypass my slide only lock screen. (I've checked the Bluetooth bypass option)
6) Voice command "Go to ..." returns the "No shortcut selected" error. help!
7) SO FAR I HAVE FREEZED THESE APPS. CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER APP OR ACTIVITY THAT I CAN DISABLE FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE WITHOUT HAVING SIDE EFFECTS? (FYI I'M NOT ON VERIZON)
8) Phone storage is segmented into 3 partitions. Right? Phone storage, internal storage and "bloatware storage (Just kidding)". Why do some apps go to phone storage and some to internal storage? Where do additional game data files go? To external storage?
I appreciate your time.
Hi All,
ive found a new annoyance with my phone recently. I always keep my phone location settings on battery saver mode as i believe having it on high accuracy all the time does make a difference to stand by drain with google's constant requests of location data.
however recently it seems the phone changes to high accuracy mode by itself after a few hours - anyone know which app/setting may cause this? Wifi calling used to do this but i no longer use - must be another setting somewhere?
Go to the Settings search bar and type: "Send Last Location", you'll wind up here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The "Send Last Location" bumps up your location accuracy when your battery is low so you can find your phone when it dies.
Good find! Although my battery is on 6% atm and it's still on battery saver mode so thinking it isn't that ?
I have noticed the same thing. I picked up that the native weather app is turning on the gps to high accuracy when updating the weather.
I had a look at that app and when I launch it - it did ask to change my accuracy to high so thinking it can't be that either ? Kinda annoying trying to find this rogue setting / app
What I do is just refresh the app on the widget and not to open the app, I picked up that even if I say to turn on gps later, it switches it to high automatically
Hye guys.. Im here to ask anyone who can help to solve my problem.. :crying:
Is there anyone know how to fix this screen problem?
Please help me

Have you got DC dimming on, if so try turning it off.
That definitely doesn't look like what dc dimming would do, and in fact, it looks like a software issue, since the status bar is completely fine. It looks to me that some screen filtering app is effecting the screen's contrast. It might be misbehaving (doesn't turn off when it's supposed to), or installed and set up by another person other than the OP. Try finding in app drawer/home screen apps with titles including "blue light filter" "night" or "dimmer," then uninstall it (we already got that night mode toggle in our device settings, which is 1000 times better than these apps that screw up contrast, so we definitely won't need any kind of blue light filter app).
Try booting in safe mode and see if the issue persist:
- Shutdown your device
- Boot it by holding the power button and the volume up button
This should disable all filtering services etc. that could change the screen colour. If it doesn't fix the issue, a factory reset would be a good choice. If that doesn't help, it probably is a hardware defect.
