Tip: Turn off annoying "Power Management Tips" notifications - Xperia Z1 Compact General

Step 1: Enable Stamina mode and Low battery mode.,
Step 2: Set both of them to only activate when battery level is below 1%
Step 3: Don't let your battery level drop below 1%
That should take care of those 2 notifications. If anyone has figured out how to get rid of all the other annoying Sony notifications, please post.

There is another way to stop it
If these stamina notification fade in you can use two fingers on this notification and pull it down...
there is a checkbox you can deselect to hide these upcoming notifications

Like every notification on Android, you go in the Application menu, you search for the app concerned and uncheck "show notifications"

Have you actually tried this? Which application is responsible for the power management tips notifications? Post a screenshot.

I thought every app having the permission to post a notification was in the app listing with the possibility to disable the notifications. Eco mode Control have his checkbox greyed out.
Apparently, the "real" apps involved are “SemcPowerSaveModule.apk , Settings.apk and SuperStamina.apk” and I don't see them in the app list so forget my quote :silly:

Thank you so much. Worked on my Z5c. Great hint.

OK: Interesting bit of knowledge, which in this case doesn't help much, but might still be nice to know:
If you don't see an app in the listing or if it's checkbox is greyed out, use this:
Code:
adb shell
pm hide com.package.name
to reverse it, replace "hide" with "unhide".
This hides the app from the system, including in the drawer. It is similar to "disabling" system apps. Not recomended for things you actually use, e.g. com.android.settings or com.sonymobile.superstamina. They will not work afterwards. It works very well with the annoying "low storage" notification though. Package name is com.sonymobile.storagechecker. Just try it out, you can always unhide, and the changes are instantaneous.
ADB is great.
You can for example find packages by
Code:
adb shell
pm list packages searchterm
so for example
Code:
pm list packages settings
produces a list of all packages with "settings" in the name.
Code:
pm list packages -s settings
shows only system apps with "settings" in the name.
If you want to play around in ADB by yourself, use a questionmark after a command to see all the avaliable options for this command. The two basic commands are am (activity manager) and pm (package manager)
Code:
adb shell pm ?

[Q] CM10 Brightness issues!

Well, as you may or may not know, CM10 has an option to slide your finger on the status bar on the top to change brightness. I enabled that, and initially it worked. I then started using the brightness button in the notification bar, and after like 3 clicks it got stuck on auto mode. Now no matter how many times I click it or go into display and turn off auto, restart, remove the button from the notification bar, etc, the widget stays on auto (it still changes brightness, it just says its on auto) and I can't enable the status bar brightness slide, which I personally favor over the button. Does anybody know how to get rid of the glitch? Would reflashing work?
Thanks,

I had this same issue on CM9. For some reason once you turn on auto with the notification bar you cannot turn it off with the other setting. The way I fixed it was to use SQLiteEditor (a paid app by root explorer) to manually edit the settings database. Then I went into the setup for the notification bar to remove the option to toggle through auto so it would not happen again. If you don't want to use the paid app, another solution is to wipe data and start over, then immediately go to the notification setting and disable the auto toggle.

Thanks. I already tried removing data for the "Settings Data" App. Should I disable auto toggle first? It also has this error in the homescreen widget (the one with all the system toggles like btooth, wifi, brightness, etc). Also, would any SQLite or other database editor work? Where would the database file be found?
Thanks again!

Yes it is probably a good idea to turn off the toggle first.
Any database editor that works will do. But I don't know of any free ones that have a GUI to make it easy. The free ones are command line apps that are a pain.
The settings database is in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Had the same problem on my Nook HD running CM10.1 on the hybrid install and this fixed it today. My issue was that I think I clicked "auto" while adjusting on the slider and then the brightness was stuck and the "auto" was not checked nor was it selectable. Flipped the bit from 1 to 0 and now it's working ok. Doing a CWM backup now so I'll have the fix in my gold install.
Had this problem on my Samsung T679. Just fixed it and figured I'd record the steps for my own and other's reference. I'm cheap and like doing things the hard way, so I didn't spring for SQLiteEditor. I found that sqlite3 was already installed on the phone.
Before starting: use cwm to make backup, just in case.
1. Force-stop Settings app.
2. Get /data mounted read-write.
3. Open a shell (recommend via ssh/adb, because we have some typing to do).
4. cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
5. rm settings.db-shm settings.db-wal (not sure about this step, but the change didn't seem to stick otherwise.)
6. sqlite3 settings.db
Here is my session, you should get the idea:
Code:
sqlite> .tables
android_metadata bookmarks system
bluetooth_devices secure
sqlite> select * from system
...> where name like "%bright%";
71|status_bar_brightness_control|1
278|screen_brightness_mode|1
605|expanded_brightness_mode|0OV=I=XseparatorX=I=VO1OV=I=XseparatorX=I=VO3OV=I=XseparatorX=I=VO5
607|screen_brightness|30
sqlite> update system
...> set value=0
...> where _id=278;
sqlite> .quit
screen_brightness_mode needs to be changed to 0. Don't forget the semi-colons. Now fire up the Settings app and you should be able to enable the status-bar swipe brightness control. I had to toggle it once before it worked.

how to make notifications appear only in 2nd screen

I've seen some notifications just show in the second screen without showing in the main screen...e.g. Mr. Jones sent you a message... This would appear in the 2nd screen only.
But some,like Line messaging, would appear in both. So I still get that notification in the main screen where you can do a quick reply (which I don't want)
How to I stop notifications from appearing in the main screen? But I still want them in the second screen.
Posted about this before - the best way is to just long press the notification and "Silence notifications". THis way they show up on the 2nd screen. Warning, they DO NOT vibrate.
There are some apps that disable the heads-up display but they're not working with N7 right now
Hmm I still want then to vibrate. Apps like Viber only appear on the 2nd screen...I don't understand why lol

I had a third party app do this. Go into the settings of the app and turn off the pop-up feature. It will stop displaying on the main screen and only show on the 2nd screen. Not all third party apps can remove the popup feature in the settings of the app. This worked for me.

Disable the heads up Notification + problem
I have tried a diffrent solution by disable the headsup notification by system UI tuner app. and it works! everything likes Whatsapp Message preview notification, facebook, youtube, UCBrowser etc. but except Line. It Shows there is a Message come in but it didnt show what the message is just like headsup notif. did, this is anoyying tho. anyway this solutions is great except the line.
i need preview what the message contain is, not just showing Line symbol on my Second screen
You can do this via ADB:
1. Turn on USB Debugging
2. Connect via USB
3. Run in cmd:
Code:
adb devices
You should see your device listed.
4. Run:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
Restart and that should do it. I've done it this way.

Just swipe away the apps you want to close manually and leave the desired one there, close all will close all, there's no way to change that.

You can lock the apps and prevent them from closing. In the recent apps, there is a 3 dot menu in the top right corner. Tap it and you will see the option for locking apps.

Ha what do you know, didn't know it had that feature, nice one!
I have this same problem. Trying to find a way to lock my Tile App. Turned off my battery saver so system wont close open apps. Tried everything i could think of and that is suggested
on line. Nothing works. Tile cant even help.
How do I do what you suggest?
How do I access the recent apps? Is it through the 3 line button at bottom of sceen where it shows small pages of everything open or somewhere else?
When I look there....the individual pages don't show the 3 dots.
Thank you for any help you can offer!

Hi,
What you mean "tap on tile app"? I can not find "allow background activity". Phone is galaxy s8, android pie.
Few days back a call recorder apk sent me there and I realize this option is not deleted from android. It just hidden, like stop FB updates.

See the gif I attached
Ok problem resolved.
There is three options to be set:
1) "Sleeping aps" - go to Settings and type in search bar on top "Sleeping aps"
I Add all apk except: AutoBlutooth, Button mapper, Call recorder, Weather widget, Email and messaging apk
2) "Optimize battery usage" - go to Settings and type in search bar on top "Optimize battery usage" Click again on top row "Optimize battery usage", Click on "App not optimized" and change to "All", find apk that make problem by sleeping.
I Disable :AutoBlutooth, Button mapper, Call recorder, ect. I do not add here email and messaging apk, as they never have sleeping issues. Maybe because not have 3day(default sleep setting) not using them in a row.
3) "Allow background activity" - go to Settings==>>Apps==>>Select application you want not to sleep==>>Battery==>>Allow background activity
It will be set to Enable to all apk, that are not added to "Sleeping aps"
Additional step:
"Device admin apps" - If Application is already here, can give Admin status. It will prevent accidental change of "Optimize battery usage" and "Allow background activity"
p.s
This why my messaging apps have Enabled Allow background activity and Optimise battery usage.
Button mapper, Call recorder ect have Enabled Allow background activity and Disabled Optimise battery usage

How to tuneup notifications ?

Hi guys,
I really don't understand how work permanent notifications on this device.
I'm aware we can manage them for each app from notification panel, and from "Notification Menu".
- I can't prevent a specific app to put notifications on lockscreen without disabling "All Notifications" on lockscreen from "Notification Menu",
- I can't prevent a specific app to appear in status bar :cyclops:
I've got a OP5 and I can tuneup apps like I want without problem, but not with this device.
Do you have any piece of advice or special app to use to do what I want ?
Bye.
[Edit] : Well, it seems that to be able to hide a specific app from lockscreen, I have to put a PIN/schema or some sort of security to have the option to hide on lockscreen
When you get notification, long press on it and there would be options. You can select more options, and there's an option for lockscreen.

Thanks, lockscreen option appears after I put a PIN code.
Last thing I have to find is how to prevent apps to put notification in statusbar.
The same way, long press notification and block all.

No, I don't want to block all.
I want some apps to put notification in notification panel only, but not in statusbar.
I have "services" like Tasker, Viper4Android, Mi-Fit who put permanent notification in order to stay alive (I suppose), they don't bother me in notification panel, but I don't want to see them in status bar.

Enable system ui tuner, enable power notifications in there and then you can set level of each app separately with long tap on notification. Exactly what you are looking for.

Many thanks, System UI Tuner was activated but I've not seen Notification option.
Last think I've to find is how to assign ''Menu Key'' to one of the hardware keys without having to install a third-party app (actually I have ButtonMapper) .
In Titaniumbackup I can't access ''Menu'' without ButtonMapper.

Yeah, it's hidden a little bit
For the button remap - it might be possible to remap the HW buttons by system files modification, though probably not worth the effort. With Button Mapper you have effectively several additional fully customizable "buttons" (double tap + long tap)..

Heads up Notifications

Hi, I'm sure a lot of us find Heads up Notifications annoying. I have disabled it on my S9 and S7 before this and it was a huge relief. However I can't seem to find any resources on how to on it on One UI 2.1 for the S20. The adb global settings code doesn't work. I'm sure there must be a way?
Thanks
Anybody?
Not possible anymore. Every time a heads up pops up I just got to the notifications settings for the app and toggle the "Show as pop-up" off. After a week off doing this for any heads-up that came up, I don't see them anymore.
Where do you find this option? I can't seem to find it. Thanks
It's in the notification setting for the each app.
Alright, managed to find it. Thanks
It looks like this is now available in the app and the adb hack isn't needed any longer. It would still be nice to apply a global default with this hack rather than changing each app individually.

I find Telegram always turns back on itself after some time. Very annoying.
There's the option to change it.
For example on the Samsung Message app:
Go to notification settings, tap in "General Notifications" (tap on the letters, don´t tap the toggle switch) and then you would find the option "Show as pop-up".
You have to do it individually for each app, in FB messenger and Whatsapp is a little different, but you would find "show as pop-up" by tapping in the letters in each option in the notification settings.
Hope this help!
