Does anyone know of a way to solve this?
Greenify has an option now to allow for automatic hibernation of apps, but only if you don't use a secure lock screen. There is the hibernate and lock shortcut, but that requires remembering and doesn't work if the display times out and shuts off.
I've tried tasker and automagic, but they create a loop that doesn't work. Any way to hibernate apps and keep a secure lock screen?

Every day my phone recommends using the stamina mode to extend my battery life. How do i get it to shut up? Disabling the ecocontroller app didn't remove the message.
Long press on the notification, select app info, disable notifications

No, thats grey.
I assume you do not want stamina mode, so try turning it on, but change the setting so it only activates at 1% battery.
That should disable the notification, at least in theory.

Sounds reasonable, good way of thinking..
I had the same annoying problem – but after a long search I was able to find the solution for it:
With the App "Notifications Off" (Free in Google Play Store) notification settings can be set for each app - even for system-Apps (hence root privileges are required for this purpose).
The annoying notifications about "my Xperia" and STAMANIA mode (App "Eco-Mode Controller") can be disabled easily!
I installed KK Locker and it gives you the option to disable default locker so you don't have to unlock two screens. This does work when the screen goes to sleep on its own, however, when I hit the power button to manually put it to sleep, when I turn it back on I have to unlock both the default Sammy lock screen and KK locker. Do any of you know if there is something that I can do to find and disable the Sammy lock screen? Thanks in advance for any help

Have you gone into settings/device/lockscreen and selected NONE for the screenlock settings? Disabling through that 3rd party app is sometimes not enough.

It was my understanding that the Sammy lockscreen could not be disabled...but maybe I misunderstood.

I used kk for a while you can disable the Samsung lock screen in
settings < lock screen < "none"
Or un-install re-install kk locker
I just bought the Droid Turbo and I encrypted my phone with a PIN. Now when my phone is in between the screen off and the 5 minute lock time for the pin access, if you press the power button it automatically goes to the home screen. On my 5 other Android phones in between the screen off and the PIN lock out time if you press the power button you still have to slide to unlock. Is there any way to get this back? Or a 3rd party app that will let me do this without disabling the security PIN? I have tried several KitKat and Lollipop lock screen apps but they all remove the pin lock security. Thanks for any help. If I need to explain the issue better let me know.
I know in tasker that is called the keyguard. Try a search for enabling that (Since tasker is like $7, lol).

I have the Tasker app but, I cant figure out how to use it to set the slide to unlock with PIN security option. Can you point me in the right direction/ give me the code to write to make it work? Thanks!

Here is a link to what I want to do with Tasker/ Secure Settings app: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ll-pattern-lock-gets-activated-after-interval
I would appreciate any help with getting this setup on my phone. Thanks!
Setup a tasker task.
Secure settings Keyguard ON.
Secure settings enable PIN.
See if that helps.

Can you post step by step instructions? I am new to Tasker and I am completely lost. Thanks!
Hi,
New to Tasker and am absolutely amazed by it's capabilities!
Got a new Galaxy S7, which I am unable to root at this point in time.
I really need a way to toggle Mobile Data and GPS on/off.
Did quite a bit of reading and searching and only found info for rooted devices. Even tried Secure Settings, which of course needs root to toggle them.
Is there ANY way I can toggle mobile data on/off without root???
GPS will be nice as well but less critical.
Will appreciate any help.
Y.
It can be done by using AutoInput but it would require the screen to be on.
I would also appreciate some help on this too, especially the autoinput method. I got parts of it to work, like opening location settings and clicking location on if off. But I'm having trouble creating the task if location is already on. Also, the exit task is giving me fits too because every time the task runs when I open maps, it exits the app to location settings to click the on location, thus activating the exit task before I even get to use the maps haha. It basically goes on a loop for me and can't figure it out. Any help on how to configure this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to turn the screen on with Tasker?
If so, perhaps I can use the combination of Tasker and AutoInput to achieve toggling mobile data on off?
(I found Turn On under Display in Tasker but it has a cross on it so I don't think I can select it. Is there another plugin that will turn the screen on?... that is without root)

Only works if screen lock security is set to none or swipe.
I have fingerprint unlock setup.
Back to square one.
svampsson... That XML file is only for screen Brightness. I did try tinkering with it to have it work for location Toggle instead but it still gave me trouble. The global action on it would not go back to the app after toggling location on. Any ideas? Thanks for the help tho.
Hi,
I just installed tasker app on my Galaxy S7 Edge.
I tried to create a task to switch on GPS when running Pokemon App and then switch off once app is closed.
Task:
1. Launch App
App Pokemon Go Data %LOC
I run the task, as expected, it opens pokemon go app and 4G(gps) icon appears on the upper-left corner of my phone. But the icon won't disappear when I manually turn off the Location on Quick Settings.
Please help how to restore Location icon on-off.
Thank you

Do you have root? It is very easy to turn high accuracy GPS ON/OFF with Secure settings-plugin. If no root you can do it with Autoinput.
The TuneIn app overrides the Android system screen timeout. If I don't manually turn the screen off, it will stay on indefinitely. Not good.
First, I made a task in Tasker that sets the screen timeout to 1 minute. Next, I made a profile in Tasker that runs this task when the TuneIn app is running. However, it still doesn't work. The screen still stays on.
Could anyone give me a hand with this?
Thanks
The app is probably forcing its own screen timeout.
Check its settings. You might be able to disable that.
Or, have Tasker actively turn off the screen.
Yes, TuneIn is definitely overriding the system screen timeout and there are no settings to disable this.
I have tried to have Tasker turn off the screen when TuneIn is running, but it isn't working which is why I asked for help here.
Any suggestions?

If manually turning it off works, so should turning off using tasker.

Perhaps, have Tasker send a "Power button press" event, to turn off the screen?

That's a great idea. It appears that I have to be rooted to access power button input. I plan to root so maybe this will be my best option.
Thanks for replying
