[Q] Instant Lock with Power Button? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for a setting where the device will lock after ten minutes of inactivity or when I press the power button (or even an app that can do that).
Any help in the right direction is appreciated.

You can do that in system settings.
Under "My device-> Lock screen-> Lock instantly with power key
And in My device-> Display
you can set the Screen timeout to 10 Minutes.
Hope thats what you have been searching about.
Cheers

Found it. Thanks.

how can i show Volume Slider without button?

I'm after a way of bringing up the volume slider without using the phone buttons. I'm using slimbean at the moment. I've looked all over for an app or activity shortcut through phone shell. Any ideas on how to launch this slider?

[Q] Loss of menu buttons?

Every now and then I keep getting no response when trying to nagivate the screen as the HOME, BACK and BOOKMARK buttons are no longer on the screen leaving me to restart the kindle.
Anyone experience this and know how to fix?
Sorry, it's not the menu buttons its the option buttons that appear at the bottom.
The only bypass has been to install an app called fullscreen
I've heard that happening because Gmail was installed. Not sure though

No that's the notification bar gmail affects,
Did you freeze some stuff by chance? Try going into the kfhd 7 general thread that deals with the bottom bar they've made some modded ones, perhaps yours just got corrupted

[Q] hide or disable 3 dot menu

I really hate the menu that pops up in apps such as facebook taking up space, ive tried hide bar but it also hides the status bar as well. is there anyway to hide or disable this.
also any suggestions on a button remapper that i can use to hold the back button to pull up menu, if not ill just use gmd gesture control(it just causes issue though)
Install a ROM that allows you to hold back for menu like viper, this will remove the menu pop up

Adding on to this... In the display settings of the rom there should be the option to enable long press as it isn't on by default.

[Q] Lock screen issues

Whenever I set up my phone with any sort of security, it keeps going back to swipe to unlock. If I try the PIN option, it only asks for a PIN when it first boots up. Once its up and running and I go to lock and unlock the screen, it says swipe to unlock. It does the same when I set up pattern, face, face with voice, pin, and password security. It always just goes back to swipe to unlock. I got this phone for my girl and I'm trying to convince her to switch to Android because she's a avid Apple user and uses PIN on her phone now and it works fine. She'll never accept this new phone if I can't even get this simple feature to work for her. The phone is stock no root nothing. All I did was throw some apps in for her. Am I missing something here? This works fine on my LG Optimus G Pro that's rooted but I can't for the life of me figure out why it wont work on the Active that's not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.
Okay it seems to ask for the PIN when I leave the phone idle for a few minutes. Isn't it supposed to work as soon as I lock and unlock? Say I lock the screen and set it down for a sec and decide to pick it back up again to unlock it, shouldn't it ask for the PIN right away? If I don't give it time it doesn't bother asking to verify PIN. This phone is great and I'm so tempted to get a regular S4 for myself but issues like this irritate me to no end.
Go into Settings > Lock Screen > set it up how you want it > "Secured Lock Time" and check "Immediately"

This is strange, I'd like my phone to do just that. Require a PIN if I leave it locked for an hour, and default to swipe if it's within the hour so I can use lock screen widgets.
Could you get the swipe to appear when you lock it with the power key, or just when you left it for a minute?

From what I understand the timmer on the option my-blue-snog-box mentioned doesn't start till the lockscreen is active so it'll goto the swipe screen if you hit the power button or you leave it sitting and and autolocks.

Do you have Tasker? You can do it with the Secure Settings plugin (might need donate version).

there r 2 settings...screen off timeout and lock timeout after screen off.
the longest lock timeout is 30 minutes.
if the screen is off, pressing the home button before lock timeout will on the screen without any lock, not even swipe.
under settings, screen timeout is under display section while lock timeout is under lock screen section.
Hey @staverton, PM me. I'll make you a Tasker profile (or a little app so you don't need Tasker if you don't have it), but you need to let me know exactly what you want it to do.

Go to settings - notification panel and check if brightness adjustment is check.
Swiping from dark side of Galaxy S5.
screenshots of the settings etc would go a long way
I had to hard reset the phone

I fixed this using Night Mode from Play apps
This happened to me. I read on another forum that someone fixed this by installing "Night Mode" from Google Play apps and toggling the app to be ON, then toggling it to be OFF. I did this, and immediately my auto brightness slider and toggle box were back in the notifications panel.
Hope this helps anyone else searching for a fix for this problem.

I can confirm that "Night Mode" app fixed the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.
Thanks
