Here is a simple and unintrusive way to stop active sync from constantly turning itself on.
Start
Settings
"go to bottom of screen and scroll right"-Connections
Wireless Manager
"go to bottom of screen and select"-Settings
Phone
"go to bottom of screen and scroll right"-Time Zone
un-check "Automatic Change Time Zone and Clock"
And that is it. Yes, it is that simple. No software needed. No complex BS.
It will still self start when connected to a computer, and it will still work fine if you want to turn it on. This will stop it from constantly "self starting" all on it's own when you don't want it to.
STICKY ANYONE?!?!?

Hi,
I use Telenav on my AT&T Tilt for GPS navigation. I would LOVE to know how to disable that annoying pop up bubble that appears when the phone is connecting to media net. When I'm using telenav and getting turn by turn directions that darn little bubble pops up and covers most of the screen every 5-6 minutes and I have to tap hide so i can see the screen again. This is extremely annoying and dangerous as it's kind of hard to tap the little "hide" button on the pop up bubble. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Eric.

Yea that works too
But the Tweak is way cooler, like OMG!
1. Is there anyway to disable the notification bubble when Tilt notifies its connecting to the network, tired of preesing hide.
2. Is there any resource that identifies unessasary startup services/processes so as to disable them.
3. By the by has anyone expierienced the following.... Upon using the power button to turn off the backlight, the backlight will flicker on and off intermittently... seems to only happen when connected to power.
I just figured this out for number 1 and wanted to post it for posterity
Set the REG_DWORD Options to 0 in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}
OMG pennywisdom! I have been looking and looking for this information for a looooong time. Thanks a lot!!!!
BTW, does this also disable the 'could not connect' notification bubble? This bubble often comes up while using tomtom navigator in an area where the network coverage is poor and tomtom traffic keeps trying to connect. The bubble comes up, then if you don't acknowledge, tomtom loses focus and screen goes into screensaver...... and so on. Highly annoying! and dangerous while driving!!
For a "resource identifier" I use Dinarsoft's MemMaid and SkTools. They have a clean option that sorts out registry issues and finds bad schorcuts and uninstall data. You could also see if the rom your using has HTC task manager in settings and just shut down open apps from there.
The screen flash when you press the power button happens on some roms, i forgot how to disable it (been out of the scene for a bit) but i'm sure you'll find the solution if u search for it.

Why do a reg edit when its already available in the settings?
Go to Sounds & Notifications in settings, notifications tab on the bottom (how you change your ring/msg tones) Click the "Event" drop down list and select Connection Established, uncheck the box "Display message on screen" .. there you go.
The sounds & Notifications fix does not prevent the 'could not connect' notification bubble for me. Too bad - I have a basement office where connectivity is intermittent at best. Even although I have a rock solid WiFi connection the 'could not connect' notification bubble interupts me a lot.

The short answer is that I had no idea it was there, but it's good to know now so I don't have to remember that registry entry. Thanks!
I would like to ask how to set my blinkfeed to mobile data and wifi instead of WiFi Only. When i go to the setting of blinkfeed, in the auto refresh, its only wifi only, and the button is disabled. Any trick on how to enable it?

Actually I just noticed that my auto refresh is also grayed out... in my case it's set to "Using mobile data or wifi" but the button itself is gray and not selectable so I can't change it! I wonder how that happened...
It would be nice to be able to change it... I wonder if this has anything to do with changes to "Accounts and sync" recently made to deal with my invisible exchange account problem which is now fixed... maybe related.
If anyone else has seen this, please post.
SOLVED
*slaps forehead*
I just needed to enable Auto sync under "Accounts and sync"... now I can select the auto refresh option for blinkfeed and also no more "weather data not available" message either...

I'm talking about the "Auto sync" toggle at the very top of the "settings -> Accounts & sync" page... meaning after you first tap on Accounts & sync, look at the very top area and make sure that "Auto sync" is checked -- meaning set to "ON" with the blue color showing as switched on.
It applies to all accounts -- meaning it's not "Blinkfeed specific", but yet it appears it must be checked in order for Blinkfeed to auto-update properly.
It's right above the text that says "MANAGE ACCOUNTS" in small dark gray capital letters on the Accounts & sync page.
That's what "turned Blinkfeed back on" for me.

Ye, the settings for blinkfeed are in the app itself, where you select topics and services but I thought you had it show up in accounts and sync from how you wrote it lol .. The no weather data available and my location bit really annoy me because often my data isn't strong enough or if the phones been asleep, that it often says this on the lockscreen and on blinkfeed until I manually refresh or turn wifi on ... Probably the one thing I hate about stock because if you don't use data or weather etc you have no way of stopping it showing that which bugs me to say the least.
Hi all,
I bought a Xiaomi 9 SE a while back, coming from iPhone. I was under the impression that everything was tweakable with android, but i can't figure out how to adjust the pop-up notifications from whatsapp in any way. Currently whenever i receive a whatsapp message my screen turns on and shows a huge rectangle in the middle of the screen showing the message with two buttons beneath it reading "reply" and "close". Then i can scroll to the right and left, showing the next message and previous messages in case i received more than one. This sucks for a number of reasons.
The rectangle looks like it was invented in 1999. It is so obnoxious; huge, ugly with no way around it. It stays on your lock screen blocking everything else until you've closed it manually. When i (feel forced to) close the preview screen (because i want to use my phone for another purpose) there is no way of retrieving the previews of the messages, i have to open the app instead.
The time stamps are missing. I have to figure out the chronology of messages myself by looking at the number in the upper right corner (1 of 13, 2 of 13 etc.) but even then i don't know if the message was sent an hour ago or a minute ago (and even then, i don't know if message 13 was the last one or message 1). Besides, this 'scrolling' to the left and right is so time consuming and unclear compared to being able to look at all messages beneath one another with the first one at the top and the last one at the bottom in one quick view (as with my old iphone).
Phone companies are always nagging about protecting privacy and therefor not showing the content of preview messages of whatsapp, i never understood this when i was on iphone and the previewed messages were subtle, vague and small - with the longer messages needing to be expanded by a swipe down with the finger to fully view (in case of texts longer than a couple of words). But now i get it, these android preview messages light up the screen in a way you can not NOT look at it and the content of the messages is right there in the middle to read for everyone. Also with iPhone i remember the screen would only light up with the first message you received from someone and have some sort of cooldown timer on it before the screen turned on again, with my xiaomi every message someone sends makes the screen light up. In case of people who send a lot of messages in a row (instead of making 1 long message) that means the phone screen in turned on for minutes on end, super annoying and distracting.
Am i totally missing something or is this just the way whatsapp preview messages work with android? Is there any option somewhere hidden to change the form of the whatsapp preview messages to something less obnoxious? Or any third party app for that matter, as this is driving me crazy.
I have MIUI 11 since a day or two now, and was hoping this would change things, but so far i haven't figured it out.
Thanks in advance all!
Yes there is. Just disable the so called toast messages. And you can also disable lock screen messages. And of course disable whatsapp message notification at all!
For the first thing. Whatsapp>settings>notifications>use high priority notifications
For the second check your android AND launcher specific lockscreen settings.
For the third option check the App permissions. or just modify the appearance of the message the time it is there. Grab it left or right and then hit the settings gear for notification display permission (I hope it is called like this).

hi, thanks for the answer. I think this does not solve my issue if i understand everything correctly. To be clear: i WANT notifications on my lock screen, just not in the form of the idiotic big rectangle. I want the more subtle, smaller, elongated 'balloons'. Strangly enough when i press "close" on the previewed messages on my Lock screen they disappear and for a second turn into such a small 'balloon', only to disappear straight away then.
The "use high priority notifications" gives a little pop-up at the top of the screen that disappears after like 2 seconds. This is no problem for me.
Under "ambient display and lock screen" settings you can choose for the screen whether to light up or not when a message is received. Although i'd like there to be some sort of cooldown to prevent my phone from lighting up for longer periods on end or all the time, this is not the biggest issue either. (Apparently this overruled by something else as setting it to "do nothing - when notifications come and the screen is off" does not work, it still lit up when receiving a whatsapp message)
Under "notifications" settings you can select "lock screen notifications", "floating notifications" and "notifications badges" - so i go to 'lock screen notifications' where i can select 'format' (sounds promising!), but this only gives me the options to:
- show notification content
- show notifications but hide content
- don't show lock screen notifications
No option to change the style of the Lock screen notifications frustratingly.
EDIT: i may have just found the answer myself ... turn off "pop-up notifications" in the whatsapp settings. This way you still get notifications, but no longer the horrible big ones in the middle of the screen

i dont know where you do this.......
i am running xiaomi.eu 9.11.22 but when i try to disbale pop-up notifications... but i get the message, not possible in your android version anymore
This is my first Galaxy watch, so maybe I have a few settings or something wrong, but I can't figure out why the Watch3 shows a digital clock when there are notifications and doesn't go back to the "home screen," my watch face.
On my Android WearOS watch, when I have a notification come through, the screen changes to let me know what it is, and then if I do nothing, it goes back to the watch face I have selected. On the Watch3, if any notification comes through, I MUST do something (press the home side button, rotate the bezel, etc) in order to go back to the watch face or else it shows a persistent large digital clock as if I'm 10 years old and need to see numbers in order to read the time!
Second question, semi related to the first, but which setting do I uncheck so that a notification doesn't open full screen and I have the ability to swipe up to remove it or click on it to expand it? Is that "Show with details?" Turning that off means I can manipulate the notification without having to hit the back button first, then swipe up to clear or rotate bezel to see other notifications?
Final question, why do I have to go into the Notification settings on my phone to see recently sent notifications and manually turn them on when "Turn on for new apps" is in the on position? When an app sends a new notification from my new Note20 Ultra to my new Watch3, I see it listed in this section but I have to manually allow it to notify my watch even though "new apps" is selected and should be letting anything NEW to come through on the watch without having to okay it first! Any thoughts on why that is or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
