[Q] Galaxy S4 standby doesnt work

So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?

mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?

Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.

Screen brightness-throttling....

Hey guys
Something that's really annoying me is my phone still changes the display brightness level with everything turned off/manual
No power saving mod
Manual brightness
Screen mod standard
Stock browser is on manual
WTF is going on. Surely others have experienced this?
How do we turn it off

If your note 3 gets too hot it will reduce the screen brightness.....

Display Settings
Automatic contrast off!

I have never seen this on any other device
It happens only 10min into use with just general browsing

Automatic contrast is already off

So is everyone happy that this is happening?
I cant believe no one else is bothered by it!!

It was bothering me A LOT but now something worse took over, the phone keeps rebooting and I've had to reset and start all over again and it's still happening. So the dimming is annoying but not nearly as annoying as not being able to use the phone at all!

I wrote about this throttling a few times here during the last days, search for my recent posts! in short: this throttling also happens when all auto brightness functions are turned off, and even if you manually set the lowest brightness! it depends on CPU load, thermal envelope and/or power-draw! I personally find it very annoying, especially because it happens also on lowest levels...

Does it happen with a full battery or plugged in?

Want to freeze the volume limiter 'Nanny' but can't find it

Just rooted the phone today and DL'd TiBu and am looking for the process that causes the volume to decrease with that ridiculous 'Listening at full volume may cause your head to explode' stupid A warning so I can freeze the thing. Tired of constantly having to increase the volume to full when listening to music and then that stupid warning popping up. What is that process called so I can freeze its azz???

Well in the past i always heard having the percentage showing kills the battery faster. I had always believed that since it seemed that way with the nexus one but you could be right. I would love to change the battery to one of the custom ones though

Well, that didn't work. The only thing it changes is no notification it's dropping the volume. It still IS dropping the volume about a third down. That is what I want to prevent, not necessarily the notification that it's doing it but the volume drop. Any ideas how to stop it from dropping the volume when I use Google Music, PowerAmp, Pandara, etc???

I use tasker for that. As soon as I plug headphones in I have it set to move volume to max. I've never found another way unfortunately.

That's one thing I miss about my old Razr Maxx, the Moto task manager that allowed me to change values during certain times of day or during certain actions. Does Tasker work pretty well doing that?? I'll charge my phone overnight at times and when it hits 100% it turns the screen on and it never goes off. And the volume is full blast at night and I'll get a task and I'll nearly jump out of my socks when it sounds.

Make sure to restart your phone or it won't take effect!

it's working now. thank you mate. I've not restarted phone before. it's Okey now.

I was wondering if all three power management toggles need to be disabled. Could someone test it by only disabling "allow deep sleep" & keeping others on? Thanks

I'm having this problem now too, even with all the power management features disabled

not just a spotify issue. i use play and have same issue. Reboot usually fixes it. started happening with b29 update

I solved my problem by setting up tasker to start Google play when phone connected to
Stereo system in my truck via Bluetooth and seems to have eliminated the problem for me.

This is a recurrent problem with the Axon 7 and it's driving me nuts. You can get Spotify to work by rebooting your phone, but within about a day it's somehow reset itself to turn off when the screen goes off. Disabling all power savings features does not make a difference long-term, or short-term for that matter anymore.
There's over 150 messages about it on ZTE forums. I've contacted ZTE tech support about it and they said they have no timeline for a fix. As Spotify is my main music app, and I bought the Axon 7 for it's superior audio, it'll be going back before my 30 day return window is up if there's no movement or any more acknowledgement from ZTE. Too bad, pretty great phone otherwise.

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?

I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.

You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.
