How to hide / deactivate the notification bar when power saving mode is turned on? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear people at xda,
I've been using OmegaDroid ROM (see omegadroid DOT co ) for more than five years now on different phones. First I want to say thank you to all (you?) developers for creating and improving this great operating system! I bought all the apps to support you, e.g. OmegaDroid Pro.
Here is my question:
Android 5 comes with two power saving modes, the (normal) "Power saving mode" and the "Ultra power saving mode". When the normal Power saving mode is turned on, a notification bar is always shown on the wipe down menu as you can see in the attached screenshot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...roid-5-notification-bar-power-saving-mode.png
Do you know how to hide or deactivate the notification bar while keeping (normal) power saving mode turned on?
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F
Android version: 5.0
Kernel version: 3.4.0-Omega-1.0 [email protected] #1
Build number: Omega v18 -XXU1POFA

I found the solution!
It is actually pretty simple. Here are the steps:
1. Wipe down the menu so you can see the notification
2. Click and hold the notification until it becomes grey and a little "i" in a circle is shown
3. Click the i
4. You should now see app information for the app "Settings"
5. Uncheck the box "Show notifications"
6. Notification for "Power saving mode" is gone
I don't know if there are any important notifications the Settings app is now unable to show you. Does someone know?

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.

[Q] How can I hide Power Saving Mode notification?

Guys how can I hide that notification from status bar and notification panel?
Here is screenshots for giving a idea.
Anyone?
..
I have searched whole forum but I couldn't find anything like this. So help me guys.
Same thing on Lollipop also. Any solution?
I think you need to use Xposed modules or might find a mod here

Works to a certain extent
NO ROOT
Hi I learned a trick to get rid of the notification while still having Power Saving Mode run.
I tried it on 2 different S5's
1. SM-G900H (Exynos Variant)
2. SM-G900V (Snapdragon Variant for Verizon)
**WARNING THIS WORKED ON THESE 2 PHONES. MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS**
1. Press and Hold the notification until it shows Settings with the i on the other side
2. Tap on the i (or you can go to Settings, Application Manager, All, Settings)
3. Click Force Stop **A WARNING SCREEN WILL POPUP. IT IS UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO FORCE STOP SETTINGS**
4. Settings should close and the notification will go away until you restart your phone or Power Saving Mode

[Q&A] Silent mode missing after 5.0 lollipop update on Galaxy S5? Now priority mode.

[Q&A] Silent mode missing after 5.0 lollipop update on Galaxy S5? Now priority mode.
Edit: solution below (4th post). But be cerful for disabling your alarms.
<rant>
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F. As a power user i need to factory reset my phone every half year to keep it running smooth. Since it was time for that anyway, i combined a fresh start with flashing the official polish 5.0 lollipop S5 rom (the updated one
PDA: G900FXXU1BNL7 ). It looks and works great. Ok, more blacks would work better with the amoled screen and it can easily take 2-3 seconds to open the task switcher, which is extra annoying if you have to also use it to jump to another browser tab. But i didn't find any major bugs and i generally love it. But one thing is driving me so crazy I'm considering going back to 4.x and staying there.
WHERE IS THE FRACKIN SILENT MODE?????
Sorry for the caps but that's kind of how i feel. Apparently it's not a bug but a feature. In vanilla, stock android on the nexus and moto g, you have to assign priority people or apps that can disturb you in priority mode. And then there's the "none" mode where your phone is completely silent. But those modes are not there in touchwiz. And people can't get their phones silent on other hardware too. Apparently Google will do a reintroduction of the feature in 5.1. But i don't know what that's worth. It will take ages for Samsung to incorporate and I'm starting to distrust google. With Google maps I'm still missing some features they cut out, such as measuring the direct distance between two points in the app. And they brought back writing to microsd cards with a special api, but i still can't edit word documents in any of the seven office apps I've tried (including several purchased ones).
</rant>
Anyway, I've tried everything i could think of to find silent mode:
* tap the vibrate/sound button in the quick toggles, it only switches between sound and vibrate, silent is gone
* long press power button: sound settings are removed from this menu
* go to settings - sounds and notifications: again there's only sound and vibrate mode. Silent mode is missing.
Please help me. The only workaround i found is to manually set all vibrates to really soft. But where is the silent mode? This is a feature that has been present in phones since before the wheel was invented. Did they really forget it? Or leave it out in purpose?
Silent mode is implemented in priority mode (stupid move by sammy)

Solution
Ok, found it. You mute your phone with priority mode, but that's rather hidden...
WARNING: your alarms will not go off of you set priority mode to none.
open the all toggles: swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers (or swipe down once and tap the icon in the upper right with three squares and two arrows)
here you see a toggle called all. Set it to none for silent mode
tap the pen icon to edit the layout, long press the all/none toggle and drag it up to put it in your directly accessible toggles
you can go to the settings for priority mode by long pressing the toggle. You can also find it under sound&notifications - interruptions (not called priority mode!!!)

This is not something implemented by Sammy, this is a Lollipop Google feature and sucks.
I had a widget for doing this and the App developer says that there is Nothing he can do
why they did this God Knows
what the heck is wrong with android developers nowadays? I hated this option.
At least silent mode will be back in 5.1
I am on EE and when I upgraded to Lollipop I lost this silient mode like everyone else did. My mate on Virgin also lost it but about a week later he received an update and he gained back this functionality.
There's now an XPOSED module for enabling native silent mode in lollipop

Silent mode is back in BOB7

I'm very confused by this "priority mode" thing. I would really like it simple....I can put my phone on silent at night and have my alarm go off, and still receive ALL notifications while I'm sleeping, but they're silent. Then during the day while I'm at work, leave it on silent, but receive all notifications. I really really don't like that no matter what, silent mode mutes all notifications and alarms. It seems like I have to have it on vibrate in order to have the alarm work. I've googled this so many times and read so many articles, but it still doesn't make sense. Also I couldn't care less what order the notifications are.
who install and active XPOSED module in Rom 5 ?please help me....

No LED light since upgrade to Oreo

Hi,
I've recently upgraded from N to O (8.1 OPM5, rooted), and ever since then I have no LED notifications at all.
Things done:
1. Enabling "Blink light" in notification settings.
2. Enabling/Disabling the "Ambient display" setting.
3. Checking w/ GravityBox' UNC (I have the pro version).
4. Checking w/ 3rd parties like LightFlow and Light Manager.
None of these worked, and the LED was never on at any color. When using Nougat I had no problem with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
This is what I've seen on another website:
"To start...Oreo notifications are very different from Nougat. Not only do you need to turn on the LED as you have already done, but you also need to go into each individual app and make sure you have the same thing turned on.
Here is one example...
Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > App info > Gmail > Notifications > UNDER Miscellaneous tap on "Miscellaneous Make sound" and a new window will open and in here is where you make the individual app adjustments where you turn on "Always pulse notification light" > then go back one screen and tap on "Attachments Make Sound" and another window will open where you make the same adjustments per app as you just did.
The key here is that not only do some things have a toggle to turn them on or off, but those same toggles will open another windows when you tap on the words themselves which gives you more notification options than you thought were even available. Be patient and you will get it."
Thx for the reply, that's a good lead.
Unfortunately (for me), all settings are "on" for "Blink Light", and still the LED never turns on.
same here :/ everything is on but LED still doesnt work

A40 : how to be visually warned about notifications?

hi everyone,
How to be visually warned about notifications on the Galaxy A40? (notification led? Always on display?)
Is it planned by samsung an update to enable a solution?
thanks,
Download Glimpse Notification from Play Store. Adfree app to Flash screen when notification arrive.
What a bad news.....
Nothing official from Samsung??
This program is cool with 0 memory and battery usage. I use this and perfect.
I have a Xiaomi mi band 2 too, you should buy one for 15 $ if dont like the first option.(glimpse notification)
Led is hardware option, what dont have Galaxy a40.
AOD is software solution, but for this prize Samsung Will not give this feature to a ,,budget'' phone.(Galaxy a40)
Try expandes Settings. Its in a40s Settings - there is an Option to to lighten up the display At notification

Unfortunately this option a piece of garbage. When you use your phone in your hand, this option Will blink the screen with yellow color or blink the Flash lite. If it just work when you dont use your phone this option Will be good.

P.S: Sorry mate, my job is bulls*|t.
2xP.S: After doing all this settings, you gonna have somewhere in background battery optimiser AOE, the only way to get rid of that is to go on Settings > Apps > tap on those 3 dots on the right corner > Special Access > Optimise battery usage > than Enable it for "Always on Edge" (it should disappear) > tap on the drop down menu > and select "All" > look for Always on Edge and disable it.
Oh, and "one more thing" over here
make sure u drag that slider to always:
after that reboot the phone.

After some time you still recommend it? Battery usage is became better or worst?
50% of battery used for have an always on display for 12 its a lot if you haven't use I these hour.
The text move in time to prevent display damage (like in native one?
