Hi guys,
i'hv been using moto x play for 6 days now and i'm not able to customize the quick settings, cannot turn off auto-correct and many settings are missing. I am new to lollipop. Please help
I can't customize quick settings too
About the auto-correct, I disabled in Settings > Language & Input > auto-correct. Don't you have this option?
no reboot option

i got the auto correct off, quick settings are not customizable i suppose. One more thing, when i hold the power key i see only power off option, no reboot option available. How to reboot this device then?

When I used the stock Motorola ROM on my old Moto G 2013, the power off was the only option too. I don't know if it's a feature from AOSP or Motorola ROM. To reboot, you can turn off, then turn on or use some third party app. Power Toggles has this feature and doesn't require root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Thanks for the link.
This is my first Moto phone. I will have to do some research and get used it.
In developer settings there is advanced reboot menu option I think?

I'm pretty sure that Google changed the reboot option (as in made it go away) with the release of Lollipop. Don't think Motorola or any of the OEM's had say or part in it. That's why the only option on stock is to power down. I haven't checked out "Power Toggles" to see if that is a viable option for stock un rooted phones. I couldn't take the ads any longer and rooted to use Adaway + Elixir (gives you reboot widget). FWIW.

Hello,
For those wanting to use Nova Launcher and still retain the double tap 'KnockOff' feature, I finally got it working via the procedure below. Note that this requires the paid version of Nova.. Hope this helps someone!
1. Download "Turn off the Screen" from the play store (it is free)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=turn.off.the.lights&hl=en
2. Open the installed app and click "Enable Now"
3. Open up Nova Settings -> Gestures and buttons -> Double tap -> Shortcuts -> Activities
4. Scroll to "Turn off the Screen" and expand the options. Choose "Turn Off The Screen : LockerActivity"
That's it. You should now be able to click anywhere on the nova desktop without an app / widget and it will turn off the screen as the stock LG KnockOff does. Note that I began with the "Screen Off and Lock" app, but this ignored the LG setting to not lock the screen for 10min and forces immediate PIIN entry upon unlock.
Cheers
If you knock on the status bar, the screen turns off with nova....no special software needed
Can the knock knock be turned off completely?

iirc it's in the display settings
This can also be done pretty easily with Nova and Tasker. Love this feature. I almost never have to use the hard buttons on this phone.
Excellent..

setup:
TASKER

add action
script
run shell
command » "input keyevent 26"

You can try Screen Off and Lock from playstore, in Nova Double Tap Gesture activies take MainHelper from Screen Off and Lock.
Beautiful
It really works.
I've just updated to the latest Firmware,
now I have a persistent notification saying Power Saving Mode Enabled and Background Data Restricted.
Very ugly and annoying!
Anyone know how to get rid of it? what a ridiculous feature

Great feature. But to answer your question Settings menu > General > Power Saving > Power saving mode > on /off
And probably in your quick access menu as well
.
I want to keep it turned on though of course. Just not have huge ugly notification that has never been there on any Samsung device I've owned until this July update to the s5.
Horrible
Probably have to wait for an xposed module mate.
I agree that the notifications are over the top. Thankfully I don't use power saving mode.
So for a long time the only issue I have with this device is that while writing on the device, or holding it watching videos or similar accidental pressing of the hardware buttons can be a pain. I always thought it would be ideal to quickly be able to turn the hardware buttons on and off. As it turns out this was always available without root, but not obviously, so if this is of interest read below:
To disable the hardware buttons you need to enable interaction control. This allows you to disable access to certain parts of the screen (not needed), and is typically intended for expo type use, or giving the tablet to children. However while active this mode also cuts all input from the home, back and menu buttons ( ).
Open settings, Device, Accessibility, then scroll all the way to the bottom, and turn on interaction control.
If you read the text it tells you that this can be enabled with the home/volume down combo, or a triple press of home if enabled in "direct access". All good, if you are happy with the home/volume down combo you are all set. However the problem is that I would prefer the triple home option, and in my current rom based on stock 4.4.2 (and possibly therefore on stock as well) Samsung seems to have completely omitted the "direct access" option within the settings menu.
Without the ability to activate "direct access" you are stuck with the home/volume down combo as the only way to enable/disable the feature. However I noticed that the "direct access" menu option was available on my galaxy s4, and that Samsung gives the option to import/export accessibility settings between devices. So I quickly enabled the triple home option on my s4, exported the accessibility options and imported them onto my note 10.1 2014. This worked perfectly, and I can now enable or disable the hardware keys with a simple triple press of the home button.
For those of you without access to another samsung device here is the accessibility settings file to import
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0uy6xm1nc3jbf7/Accessibility Settings20140926.sasf?dl=0
This doesn't work for me. I get an error telling me it cannot activate while multi-window is in use, even though only one window is open when I attempt this.

You have to un-check multi-window option from pulled down notification first. Samsung should change the meassage to " disable multi window option " rather than say "while multi-window is in use"

Settings, device, accessibility, manage accessibility, update, then select the file.
To enable the hidden power menu follow belowmentioned instructions
go to homescreen
long press - click on widgets
drag settings widget (you will see diff options)
scroll down to find power saving
and there you will have all power saving settings including nvidia's custom settings.
Hope this helps.
I think you might mean:
Long tap on home screen, then tap Shortcuts.
(not widgets)

Try using stock launcher. It ought to be there.
Yep, it's a settings shortcut. Great find though, @kukuthejak.
how change dpi in hidden power management ? dolphin emulator android not is theare
i had a problem with my tablet turning off every night even after a factory reset and changing the sleep option found under the battery settings menu. I assumed it just crashed a lot. In this menu the option was set to turn off after 6 hours.. this hidden menu was causing the problems.
Is this the same set of power options found at the top left of the battery stats when pressing the 3 dots?
yes. Look at the screenshot
No because it misses the app settings on th the raw above.

I can't find settings-->power settings in either widgets or shortcuts??
Choose the widget power settings itself, drag it to one of your home screens and open it. You will find a tab above related to app power settings.

Nova, but I reverted just to try this and no power settings widget there either.
No "Power Settings" widget
When I drag "Settings", there is no Power Settings option
Thanks for your help!
Hah! Figured it out. I just really need to listen to directions. The screen doesn't look like it scrolls further but it does. The original instructions said to SCROLL to the option. Lol.
Thanks for your help, everybody.
Thanks for the tip
I have the screen pinning feature enabled but when I tap the pin icon on recent menu, nothing happens, the app doesn't get pinned. Is the feature working for any of you?
To enable: Settings -> More -> Security and scroll down to the bottom where you'll find an option "Pin Windows"
PS: I'm on Android 5.0.1 build ending with HOD3, Stock Lollipop
No its not working here also... I don't think they have activated it hope the micro update will fix it
Which rom ru using??
Screen pinning is not made available on stock touchwiz rom...
Im using @frapeti 's CM12.1 rom with lollipop 5.1.1 sources
Screen pinning works der...
And no unpinning problems at all
Give a try to it....
You'll love it
Settings --> my device --> accessibility --> dexterity and interaction --> interaction control (enable). Then just go into an app you want to pin and hold vol - and home button at the same time and select "done". To unpin do the same thing. (NOTE: You need to disable multi-window for this to work)

Thanks for the tip. I was just wondering why the native Lollipop Pinning isn't working on stock lollipop.
