I seem to remember reading something about this, but I can't seem to find it anymore. is there any way to disable the screen off volume press turn on the music player "feature"? I'm tired of turning off my screen and setting down my phone and having to pick it back up again right away to turn it back off.

What ROM are you running? I know Sense 6 Toolbox has a toggle for that.

Nuisense 6. I'll take a look again, but it seemed like the tool box only would enable starting something, it wouldn't disable something that the ROM included by default.

It did once but I can't remember what so it's worth a shot. I think it's a build prop edit, but I'm not currently running that ROM. Calling @gruesomewolf since he's the one who would know exactly what you could edit if it's user editable.

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed
Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

So I have 4.3, and ever since, when the phone starts into Android, there is always a lock screen where you have to swipe the lock in the center away to get to the home screen. I want to disable this so that it simply boots into the home screen. I'm fairly certain to do this I'll need to edit my build, I'm just wondering exactly what I need to edit to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I don't know if this helps, but i accidentaly found this "glitch" that lets my phone without the lockscreen and enter the phone just by pressing the power button
I installed Windows 8 Lock Screen app from Play Store, I checked it to be the default locker, but after that, after I played around with it, I decide not to keep it active and I unchecked the "Default Locker option". After this, apparently, I have no lock screen whatsoever... Just press the power button and the phone is unlocked

HTC have removed the option to have no screen lock at all, you have to have something (which is responsible IMO)

Actually, this issue only came up once I installed the 401 5.5 4.3. My native is developer 1540 4.3, which does not have this. Good to know it's most likely a sense 5.5 addition, as I can request the next toolbox include an option to disable this.
Edit: For those interested, I seem to have found a happy accident that exploits the lockscreen coming up every time the phone goes dark. By installing the Windows 8 Lockscreen app from the play store, setting it as the default lockscreen, utilizing it a few times, then disabling it, when I restarted the phone, the only time the lockscreen came up was during the initial startup. Nothing after that. The power button got me directly to the homescreen. I also have no lock installed with locking disabled. Obviously, all it would take is a simple xposed module or app to isolate this and get it to the masses, but for now, this seems to work for me. I hope it works for you as well.

Alright, I'm starting to get mad, this little bug that is on almost every goddamn ROM, is pissing the f' out of me. Ok here we go, I go to Settings> Buttons > Backlight // Disabled. It runs fine for like 20 minutes until I get a notification, this will make the HW key backlight go ON and never OFF again, it is on AOSPA, and CYANOGEN, i thing CARBON is now fixed but come on. So my question is:
IS THERE ANY FILE OR DAMN THING I CAN EDIT TO COMPLETELY (PERMANENTLY) SHUT THE HW-KEY BACKLIGHT OFF?

It doesn't disable them permanently, I edited the script to change "brightness" to "max_brightness" but I don't know enough about permissions. It didn't work whatsoever. Thanks anyway, I just flashed PAC so I can turn them completely off there because of the "Display & Lights" settings there.

of course they are disabled completely. I use the script couple of weeks and it works great.
You have to flash it again after each ROM-update for sure...
Hey guys
Today I updated to Android 9. Nothing to complain except this 1 annoying button.
This 1 forces the phone into the landscape mode and I can't find the setting to disable it.
There is also no way to drag of somewhere else. Also no notification or similar
Any suggestions?
It's because you have gestures enabled. There's no way to disable it afaik.
Button is nothing but annoying

I also have this button and it's beyond annoying and covers up part of my keyboard. There's got to be a way or an app that gets rid of this thing for those of us who don't want it.
I don't really wan't a custom rom, but do have Magisk and TWRP. It's the last thing I don't like about this phone (just came from the Pixel 2 XL).
Try this:
In Developer Options, search for Absolute Volume, then turn it off.
I found "Disable Absolute Volume" and tried it. Still when the phone turns back on the pop up is there the moment I turn up the volume.
Yeah It seems that is not a permanent solution... You could try to automate it with tasker and autoinput, but i dont think is worth the effort...
Yeah I agree, Thanks for the info.
samfix from xda labs used to cope with it but no update since pie..
Yeah, I tried it and no go on pie. Its a really small thing, just the last thing that bugs me.
i would add the mess with dolby atmos. I think it turns off randomly.

Well, if money is not the problem, you can do it with Tasker and AutoTools and it works just fine. I don't have root. Set it up once and forget it:
Just google "disable-safe-volume-warning-no-root-required" (geez, you can't even share a link to tutorial)
I haven't found easier solution for non-root. Sorry if OP looks for something root-only...
It is available in Stock ROM, no root required.
Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume
Tap the three vertical dots in the top right,
Select "Media Volume Limiter" (It's the only option on my phone')
(Now here comes the counter-intuitive part)
Turn it on.
Set the "Custom Volume Limit" all the way to the right.

is it possible that after a reboot the setting resets?
if so, there are modules like gravity box for edxposed that can change it for good. maybe others too.

Wherever limit you set (in the case, full volume) persists.
I have just rebooted my phone and the limiter is still on, and set to full.

That STILL gives you the warning once after every reboot.
BUT! If you use systemui tuner you can actually, permanently, disable it. Seems to be the only way without root.
@Delano.888 Yeah, just had that experience at the very moment that you posted that.
Thanks for the pointer to SystemUI Tuner.
i knew i wasn't crazy....
Does anyone know how to get rid of this with Tasker? The old method no longer works, and I am afraid I am going to wreck my car trying to click the ok on the screen when I need the volume up. Please help! I've literally tried everything from granting securetask device ownership rights etc... I can even watch the setting change on my Note 9 without affecting the warning whatsoever. Any ideas??? Also, what exactly does deprecated mean?
Yes there is. I have done it multiple times. You will need a PC and Magisk Manager though. Tried it worked on Android 10 too.
The solution is with Smali Patcher. It makes Magisk module for individual phones via PC when being connected to the phone in ADB mode.
Google it. You will find the xda link.
