On all my devices, Note 9, Sony Android TV, Roku stick, etc, captions keep turning on in multiple apps. I know how to turn them off. But every time one starts watching a video again, they turn themselves back on. It getting really frustrating. What do I do?

accessibility options maybe?
probably something you or someone else enabled because this ain't default behavior foe sure.
I've tried the settings in all the apps that captions show up in, the accessibility settings on my phone, tvs and roku sticks. Some initially say they are off, but captions show anyway. Some are set to on, but when I turn them off, they go right back on when I exit the menu and try to play a video/movie.

Hi,
In the pictures&vid tab I have the "Play screensaver when connected to my PC and idle for 2 minutes" button checked but, when it's idle after 2 minutes, I get a very brief switch from home screen to pics&vids-so brief, it only shows the top toolbar for a split second,then just goes back to my regular homescreen.
Have pics that play in the slideshow manually, but don't know why it won't play the screensaver. Turned off any auto-update stuff, and even don't let it get data through active synch. Any help?
addendum-found the issue; sort of
seems all the extra crap that ATT installs, was causing the problem. After I did a hard reset and not allow the ATT customization-it's working fine!

It seems like after, I don't know, maybe 5-10 minutes or more of the phone being in sleep mode, when I unlock the phone and go to do something, like check mail, or hit a website, the WiFi is always showing disconnected. Wifi Logo with the Red X over it in the upper left of some Roms.
Then, it jumps and tries to reconnect after a few seconds and shows the normal connection icon bars onthe right. Kind of frustrating waiting 10-15 seconds for it to reconnect.
Is this normal?
Every Froyo build I have tried (three different) have this same behavior. It seems the WiFi is disconnecting itself while sleeping. Then once awake again, it connects back to the access point.
I can't find any setting that seems to be affecting this.
Anybody else have this issue? Is it by design?
Thanks
Search didn't help? Really, this was brought up a lot.
Press "menu" when in WiFi menu, I bet you can take it from there.
Ah, and look in the Apps section, first page will probably help you, if the suggestion above didn't.
No setting?
How about Settings->Wireless&networks->Wi-Fi settings->(press Menu)Advanced->Wi-Fi sleep policy?
(and yes, I do agree, they shouldn't hide an option like that behind a menu in settings, think that's the only setting screen with a menu)
The wifi sleep policy is broken is some phones. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706454
or google it, there's a bunch of people complaining about it for a long time.

This option is no guarantee..unfortunately (there´s a bug in the OS)
Haha...what a tool I am. Could have sworn I looked in the menu and didn't see that option.
Will give it a go and see if it works and not a bug like some have had with it.
Stupid policy by the way by default to set it like that. Kind of like when closing the lid on a laptop running Wiondows. It goes to sleep by default?!?! Ok.
My searched terms must have sucked also...I went through pages and couldn't find this.
Thanks.
hey there
somebody know an app to turn off the display?
not to lock the device, just to turn off the screen.
i want to watch videos on my tv over hdmi and there´s no need for the display to stay on while watching.
thanks in advance
You can try changing the security settings to when you press the turnoff/on button it won't lock the screen... It's precisely:
Settings-Location & Security-Configure lock screen-Off
Maybe it'll make works as it says it "NEVER lock the screen" it's a good option I think
thanks for your answer
unfortunately thats not what i´m looking for. even if there´s no screen lock defined the device will go into a locked state if power button is pressed.
try to run a video on youtube and press power.
i cant imagine that its so odd to just turn off the display itself or that it whould be complicated to have an app for that.
am i the only one who uses android as a media player for a tv?
Ever tried androidwebkey? it's an app wich let you control your phone/tablet from your pc (or any other device with an internet browser). You can launch/close apps, acces terminal and stuff. But you can also adjust your brightness, even to zero (totally off). Try it out!
I imagine you could use Tasker to turn off the screen automatically whenever you plug the hdmi cord in.
Any thoughts on how to keep the screen on forever like the LG V20 allowed me to? I realized that I never put my phone down, in my pocket, connected to a cradle, without turning the screen off first, so why should I use some low screen timeout number when I hate having it turn off on me when I don't need it to? Furthermore, I couldn't find a way to have my car dock setup keep the screen on without the use of an app on the LG, and I hate having a stupid notification on the bar to tell me "hey, we're doing something for you all the time, thanks for using this app!" if I don't have to. I'm trying to sell you on the idea, not sure why, but those are my reasons in case someone asks why I prefer it this way....
ANYWAYS, the maximum timeout is 10 mins on the Note8, and I couldn't find anything other than the setting in developer's options to keep screen on while charging (which, I'll have you know for those trying to suggest that one, dims the screen after a period of time - I don't know what that is, I just know I saw it do it once and turned that setting off because that's not what I need while using Google Maps and driving). Any thoughts on this, natively, within the phone's own settings somehow???

Just FYI, you can get rid of those "always running" notifications indefinitely by swiping the notification to the right and tapping "block notifications". It simply removes the card, and has no affect on the apps functionality.
Use Caffeine.
- Open it, give it the proper permissions (it will ask)
- Enable it
- Enable " Start at boot" and "Auto enable at boot"
- Close the app, open the notification panel, swipe right on the caffeine card and tap "block all notifications".
- As long as you don't go and change the display timeout settings in the actual settings app, your phone will never auto turn off, and can only be turned on/off manually just like normal.
And if app drawer clutter is something you want to get rid of, just hide the app icon.

I'm familiar with this method, even familiar with Caffeine, which I like more than any of the other junk ones in the Play Store, but I was hoping for something built-in that wouldn't require another running app to do something simple - Samsung / Android should have all the simple stuff figured out by now.... this was DEFINITIVELY the only thing the V20 had over the Note7 and now the Note8, I hated almost everything else about the phone but wasn't going backwards to the S7 when I had to turn the the Note7.
Thanks for your help, will use this solution until / unless someone has another (native, preferable) solution
Found the issue with using Caffeine as opposed to something native. Caffeine does a great job of keeping the screen in no matter what, any time it comes on. This also includes if the power state is changed, a missed call comes through, etc. It will turn on the screen, show you the lock screen, and just sit there.
The LG was capable of shutting the screen off after a short timeout when only on the lock screen, which would allow a notification or change in power from keeping the screen on indefinitely because it wasn't forcing ANY screen on input from doing it, only when unlocked, when it was appropriate to do so.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Be very careful. Unlike your LG v20 this phone has a AMOLED display. If you leave it on the same screen for a long time it will cause burn in on the display.
What ever happened to Screebl? I was going to recommend it to a friend, and couldn't find it any more... I guess it has just survived the port from phone to phone.

See signature - not my first AMOLED display phone.... When the screen is on for a long time, it's because I'm driving and using Maps and switching to Play Music, etc. I'm trying to avoid having the screen on all night long with it coming on when A) the phone gets fully charged, and B) when a notification or something wakes it because Caffeine is almost "too good" at what it does!
Hate that I had to use an app to do this, but I am really liking Screen Timeout that disables the timeout options Samsung gave us all together. Would love to know how to get this done, without the need for root, where I don't have to disable notifications for an app that constantly runs, though....
What it does, if anyone cares, is make none of the selections selected so the screen stays on ONLY when unlocked, exactly what I figured out I was looking for. I hope this helps someone else looking for a solution like this!
Here's the link to the app I'm using:

So after many years with iPhone I decided to jump back to Android this year with a Galaxy Note 8 and I need some help.
No matter what I try I can't seem to get lockscreen notifications to turn the screen on so that I can see them. I hear the notification sound but unless I manually turn the screen on nothing happens.
I've checked and rechecked all the settings both within apps and in phone settings but still no joy.
I have my iPhone and the Note 8 side by side on my desk and the iPhone lights up each time I get a notification but my Note 8 just plays the notification sound I set for a particular app.
Is this something that just isn't possible? Or should I be seeing the screen light up when notifications come in?
Thanks!!

Do you have AOD turned on? I don't use it so not sure if that's it or not.

I didn't but I just turned it on to see if that changes anything. And just to be very clear, the notifications are there it's just that the screen doesn't come on for me to see them.
On mine they come on the screen automatically. And I can read them there.....but for me the issue I don't how to control how long the screen stay on.
I noticed stay on for about 1 minute and then ont AOD display comes back. Not sure where in the settings I can change how long they stay on.
My regular screen time out is set to 15 seconds. So that's not what it's going by.
Meanwhile I've found two apps which can change things "Glimpse Notifcations" which is free and has forum here at XDA and also Nils which are very good.
BUt I'd rather not use an app....
For OP, notifications settings are found in many different places. Make sure you turn them on all of them...and in advanced you can even point which notificatons show contents.

Make sure you click in the middle of the setting line subject to access more options...
Meaning Settins, > Lock screen and Security > Notifications....Do not just toggle this setting ON on this screen.... please touch on Notificatons title to access sub menu... where you have now more options..... ON , Hide Cotent..., Icons Only and All Apps and the list of apps...
Now make sure there you have Hide Conntent to OFF. and Notification ICon Only OFF......
Let me know if you find the way to make Notification stay longer on the lock screen then the 1 minute default I"m experiencing
