[q] Power off app/widget ?

Is there a APP that allows you to switch off the phone instead of using the hard button on the side ?
Example: A widget - when pressed switches off the phone.
Something similar to Quick Reboot but a power/shut down app.
Thanks in advanced.

Anyone ?
yay or nay ?

i have found yhis app:
Reboot Control Widget

I believe Switch Pro has that feature. But you need root for that.

try quick boot works for me has options for
reboot, recover or bootloader.. but not shutdown

there are a lot of apps that do reboot, Toolbox, toolbox to name a few that i actually have, but that's a good question for the shutdown.

Hmmmm, I searched high and low and found one hopefully, over at android forums. Gotta register first then i'll have a look later.

Wtf is this shortcut that keeps popping up.

Seems like every day or so I get this random shortcut as well as a notification to download some app of the day. I can't figure out what's making the notification/shortcut. Any ideas of what it can be? I posted a pic and you can see the shortcut in the middle of my home screen.

That must be an app you have downloaded. Some of them have auto run when android loads, and then they 'push' a notification message (ad) , or put a shortcut on your home screen. I used to have an MP3 Downloader app that did that. There is an app in the market that disables the auto run from these apps but I forgot what it was called.

I figured that was it, just don't know what app it might be.

Download Adpush (I think that's what it's called) and it will scan for spyware-ish apps like that and tell you which one is doing it.

The image shows 6h20m of usage, my Maps app keeps starting on its own and is keeping my phone awake.
Even after I force close and remove all maps related services.
Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve advanced task killer and the likes?
I'm on CM10, with 4.2.1 gapps.

Just uninstall it or freeze it using Titanium Backup

Samsung TV remote feature

I cant get my note3 to complete setup for Samsung TV remote control. My TV is a new Samsung PN51E8000. Its a full smart TV with built in WiFi and Bluetooth. When i follow the steps to press and see if TV powers on with CODE1-15 none work. Any ideas as to why? I really want to share my screen and control the TV fully.
Help..i just got my note yesterday.

Clear data on app and try again. I have mine controlling a Mitsubishi, a Samsung, and 2 different Sony TVs. Plus uverse.

Weird, I don't see Google music in my protected apps either. I also haven't had an issue with EMUI killing that app. Have you tried swiping down on the app in the recents menu to keep it from getting killed?

Yeah, it's locked in :good:

Any update on this? I have the same issue on Huawei Honor 7 (PLK-L01). Latest manufacturers ROM (6.0) and EMUI (4.0).

Strange... I can set Google Play Music as protected app
