Night clock glitch? S6 Edge - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hey so my night clock is set but doesn't activate unless I reach over and swipe the edge. Which defeats the purpose. Then it turns on and stays on but will not just turn on at the set time by itself. Am I missing something or is it just a random glitch?
Thanks ya'll

I have not had that problem, so it does sound like a random glitch. It should just be coming on. Are you completely stock?

Yes
Yes it is.
I'm going to try turning it off and turning it back on tonight before the set time and seeing if that works but not hopeful on that

OK. The only other thing I would mention, is the clock won't show automatically unless you swipe, when the battery is low - I believe at 15%. Do you have any power saving modes on by chance?

I believe so
I can't remember my settings on that. I'll have to double check but my battery is never that low when I'm sleeping. In fact, a lot of the time it's plugged in.

The one thing I dislike about my N7

I have sync off, maps off, gps off, location off... and wifi set to "never on" during standby mode...
But... it takes a good 15 minutes before wifi actually turns off, which wastes a little bit of battery life
Any way around this? Eg, make it turn off wifi quicker?

Uhmmm well maybe if you were able to provide more info like rom, rooted or not, kernel etc. we'll be able to help you out more.
As of now i can tell that is not right, mine goes off immediately.
Yes, more info would help however try this go to your settings and in the WiFi settings forget your network then restart your router and re-boot your tablet off/on (not stand by) then go to the wireless settings log back in to your network.

Wow, why do people care about such small things? It's not like it drains half of your battery.

Well, because it is not a normal thing to happen. So if it is not normal, it is a sign of a possibly bigger problem that needs to be addressed. If he is on a custom rom, then the dev would be notified to see if its on his end, to fix in the next release. And those are just two reasons why people "care about such small things". Welcome to xda. This is where all the small things are fixed. Its kinda the point.
Are you sure that's not normal? All my android devices take 10-15 min to turn the WiFi off.
It'll have a negligible effect on your battery life but if you really want it to turn off faster, the green power app on the store allows you to turn off WiFi instantly.
That's normal. If you have tasker or other similar app you can set it to turn off WiFi on lock or if you have a magnetic case, sit it to turn off WiFi when it's closed.

Don't think that's normal, wifi always turns off almost instantly for me
wifi turns off almost instantly here too. 10-15 minutes to turn off wifi is not normal in any situation. op, maybe a little background? stock or rooted? rom/kernel? mods flashed? themes?
The WiFi on my N7 turns off instantly. It did when it was stock unrooted, it did when it was stock rooted, and it does with Paranoid Android. Not sure what the issue may be. Unless you are running a different kernel.
It is normal.
I'm on CM10 and in the advanced WiFi menu is an option to alter the default WiFi timeout from 15mins to other values. I'm unsure if that option is only available in CM10 but I think its also available in stock, can someone on stock clarify that.
The advanced menu is definitely available on stock 4.1.2 I'm just unsure if the timeout is configurable or not.
But WiFi always takes some minutes to disconnect in case you decide to hit the power button to put the device on standby and then 2secs later decide to use it again.
Test it by just hitting the power button and 10secs later hit it again and look at the WiFi icon, it will show its connected. Now do it again but wait 20mins and then hit power and look at the icon and it will show its disconnected.
I guess the timeout can be affected by apps that use WiFi when the screen is off and how quickly the device sleeps when the screen is off etc.
Stock, rooted. Using Notification Toggle, my wifi turns off immediately when I touch the wifi toggle icon.

Is the concept of this thread that hard to the understand...
...of course it turns off immediately if you hit a toggle, that's the point, this post is about the timeout value, ie the WiFi timeout when the screen is turned off.

[Q] Brightness oddity, please help.

I've noticed that while viewing something my phone sometimes changes the brightness, not drastically, but noticeable still, especially if the background is white. My auto brightness is off and I'm running stock and not rooted. I was wondering if it was something with my phone or is it normal?
Is your sleep timer set to Auto Sleep? It dims the phone automatically if you're not moving it enough. Try changing it to a set timer and see if it still does it.

Just tried it at your suggestion. I tried it for 45 seconds then a minute it still happens. The best way I can describe it is if you use blinkfeed or any rss reader that has a light theme or even a web site like this. If you see a picture, then scroll away from it like you're reading the rest of the article, it'll dim a little bit.
As mentioned above I believe this may be the HTC Ones auto screen tone adjusting similar to how you put your home HDTV color temps on Dynamic, Standard, Movie, Sports etc. The HTC One like the Samsung S3 both utilize a battery saving technology used to automatically adjust the tone of webpages and other pure white screens by conserving battery power. I would try viewing the same screen with the power save features on and off to see if there's any noticeable difference. I don't believe there is a specific setting for this technology on the settings panel in the One like there is on the S3.

Hmm, I can't get this to reproduce. The only thing I can think of is the stock web browser has a setting to dim webpages that are still loading, but I don't think that helps you any. Sorry .
Skyymiles
I've also tried just tried what you suggested, it still happens, which is strange.
DiZzyBonne
I tried that too, tested it with Naked Browser and Opera Mini.
Still, thank you both for trying to help, I appricate it. I'm still within the couple of days to return, so I'm just going to go and see if I can get a swap for another HTC One.
Do you have power save mode on?

No, not originally. I did turn it on, tested, then off again to see if that did anything but to no effect. Still, this won't push my away from the phone. It's a beautiful piece, I just hope the swap will fix that.

Screen won't stay off, keeps waking up

This has has happened to me 3 times so far while I am plugged in charging overnight. I'll wake up to see that my screen is on. If I hit the power button it will shut off, and then come back on in a second or two. Even if I flip it upside down so the screen is down, I can still see that the screen is still coming on. The only way for me to fix it is to reboot the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

what your probably referring too is active display. Which if you want off. I also have off is under the moto app
No, that's not it. I'm not talking about how it will come on every 3 seconds when you have a notification. I'm talking about turning fully back on so I can see my home screen.

Nope, that isn't checked. And normally this isn't an issue, only a sporadic thing.
Happened to me again last night, woke up and noticed the screen staying on around 5am. I tried disabling the active display but it didn't stop the screen from coming back on after I shut it off. I did find that when I unplugged it from my charger, the screen stopped coming back on. Does this give anyone any clues?

Its something you have installed.

I believe Safe Mode is still in Android. Try it. Warning: it will break your home screen widget layout.
If it is something that I installed, how can safe mode help me determine what it is?

The same reason it does in Windows. You use it to narrow down what is causing it. If Safe Mode cures the issue, you know for sure its an installed app. From there, process of elimination.
Right?
Just got the phone and have had this happen a few times also. No apps installed that I didn't have on my previous phone.
After a bit more testing I have more information. It seems like it only happens when it is plugged in and has reached a full charge. Once I unplug the phone from its charger, the screen stops coming on by itself. This is still some kind of bug, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to keep the screen off even if it is fully charged and plugged in.

Well I didn't think it was something that effected everyone, otherwise I would have found a thread on it. I'm going to try using a different charger tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Fair enough. I still think its an app installed though.
By any chance do you have the notification enabled for when the battery is fully charged?

No, I don't.
Ive tried this for two nights and it doesnt seem like I've had this issue since using a different charger...
My problem turned out to be the button accidentally being pressed and the screen lock setting being set to "5 seconds" after hitting the button, as opposed to right away. So the screen was going off, it wasn't locking, and an errand touch of the side of the phone while moving it would make the screen come back on without seeing the lock screen again because it was within the 5 seconds that the setting enabled. I was not familiar with this setting being on my previous phone and the Turbo was set to this by default. Hope this helps.
I agree that it is a bug, however, I was wondering, is there a way to get rid of that screen entirely? Frankly all that screen does for me is waste the battery, so being able to not have it at all would be great.

Notification LED

There used to be an option to turn off the notification LED on blocking mode so that it didn't light up your room while sleeping. It appears that is no longer an option. Does anyone know of a solution to be able to disable the LED for specific hours each day? I tried Lightflow, but had some issues with it and there was not an option to set specific hours. Thanks in advance!
I don't think the LED is that bright to "light up your room".....
If it bugs you that much, turn it face down, or put something over the LED to cover just that one part of the phone.

LOL! Easy fix. Cut her eyes out. Then ask her which did she like more, the ability to see or not? I'm sure she will say sight, but then you give her the bad news that you can't fix her blindness due to you not being a doctor (unless you are, then operate).
To fix your problem though, try Settings > Accessibility > Notification Reminder > LED Indicator
Hope that works.
Have you tried "do not disturb" in your toggle buttons? Says it'll silence calls & notifications, not sure if it will disable led. Ultra power saving mode might also disable led.

I have tried do not disturb and it does not turn off the LED for me. I have not tried ultra power saving mode. I am, however, hoping for something more automated based on time. Thanks for the response.

Thank you for the recommendation, but I actually want the LED on during the day and just off at night. It was a setting on my previous Samsung devices...just appears to be another thing removed, for some reason

Guess the Do Not Disturb option is your only bet. Hopefully it works.
try sleep for android...it has a feature of Do not disturb whenever you have sleep tracking on. So when you sleep just set that as an alarm and it will put the phone to do not disturb
I know you said you had problems with lightflow app but have you tried the light manager app? Works really well for me since they did the fix for 5.1.1.

Yes this would be nice. Do not disturb i would think would turn led off but it doesnt. If u find a solution please post it. Not like its really important to me but it would be nice.

Blue light filter

Just noticed, the blue light filter takes a few seconds or more to engage after screen is brought back from standby mode. Pretty irritating.
Example viewing a page within Samsung browser, screen times out ( has to time out )then I press the home button to turn screen back on, blue light filter is off now for a good few seconds or unless I go into the settings screen.

I thought it was just me. I looked around to see if anyone else was having it in other threads but I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Mine is really delayed that I need to turn it off and turn it back on. Sometimes I wait over a minute til it activates so I just end up having to toggle it off and on since it's faster... Unfortunately
