Can't Turn Off Blue Light Filter

This is driving me nuts. I set up my new s10 by signing in to my Google account and choosing to restore my Pixel 3 XL backup. All the apps and everything downloaded just fine, but the blue light filter that I had scheduled for 10pm to 6am on the Pixel has apparently followed me to the S10. The only problem is that I have no way to disable it. It shows as off in the settings even though it clearly turns on at 10pm. If I manually change the clock to say 7pm, the filter turns off, but the whole time, the settings show that it's off. Enabling it in settings while it is already active results in a slightly more red blue light filter, that's it. Short of doing a factory reset and setting it up as a new device, I can't think of any way to fix it. I've even tried turning off the setting on my Pixel to no avail. Any ideas?

I had the same issue.
Download an application called Activity Launcher.
You will need to find the activity that is linked to night shift, I can't remember the name on the top of head but it will be pretty obvious when you will see it.
Samsung apparently decided to scratch away the stock feature by just creating their own one and removing the stock one's setting entry. However it's still there, and still working as long as you can manually launch the activity and it activate automatically if you had a schedule created on another device.
Funily enough that allows you to get even stronger effect by combining both features at the same time.

Check your nightlight settings in the Google Play Books App. Set that to 0 and it should fix the issue.

Dude, thank you so much. It worked. I can't believe how annoying it was not to be able to turn that off. Much appreciated!

Blue light filter on off
Hi my blue light fliter is getting on and off. Specially on chrome and cnet website. And even when keyboard pops up on chrome.
Updated android 11. Still same. Keep changing sometimes while just scrolling.

I am having the same issue with my newly bought 2 days old Xiaomi 11T. I transferred everything from my previous phone Xiaomi Mi A1 and I had Night Light scheduled to turn on at 11:30 p.m. and off at 7:00 a.m. But now there is no NIGHT LIGHT feature on Xiaomi 11T but the screen automatically turns yellow when the schedule starts and turns back to normal at 7 a.m. Please help me with this. I tried installing Activity Launcher, but I couldn't find the setting you are talking about. I also have both, schedule and reading mode turned off in the settings, but this still happens due to settings brought from the old phone.
Please help me out.

Think that's the same app that boned me. It alters a hidden user setting that remains after you uninstall it.
Unclean uninstall... Gookill sucks.
The way I fixed it was to reinstall it, change that setting, uninstall. Over a year later still on that same OS load, A-ok.
OP: don't use SmartSwitch when migrating to a different device especially for apps. Do a clean load... more *surprises* are likely waiting for you.
Do not trust SmartSwitch with critical data... I use it for homepage settings only where if it fails it's no big deal.

I have a Galaxy s21 ultra and I spent the last month so furious that I couldn't get the blue light filter to stop coming on at sunset until I saw this post and downloaded activity launcher and found the night light setting
Thank you so much to everybody who responded here

God am I happy I wasn't the only one with this problem. Thank you guys so much for finding a fix, I just got a z fold 3 and updated from the Pixel 3XL so I had the exact same issue.

Notification problem

Hi.
I just noticed that when I received a WhatsApp message I get no notification. Same when someone calls me on WhatsApp. The notification only shows up when I open WhatsApp.
Something that it's probably related, accubatery doesn't provide any stats, everytime I open it it's like I start it for the first time.
I'm pretty sure there is some hidden task killer that doesn't allow most of the apps to do background stuff.
Any idea?
PS: I removed WhatsApp and Accubatery from batery optimization, reinstalled both apps, same thing.
Thanks
LE: In case someone runs into this, disable "deep process clean" feature under settings/system/advanced. It should sort it out.

I don't think it's possible that the CN rom would have a glaring fault like this - "Deep Process Clean" enabled but not having an option to disable it.
The whole moniker is pretty clearly a badly translated Chinese version of the concept.
Perhaps, two different people translated it from Chinese to English in the two roms.
Here's a suggestion:
1) Process could be "task", "program", "app."
2) Clean could be "kill", "end", "terminate."
3) Deep could be "Old", "late", "unused."
An actual native speaker of Chinese would probably knock it out of the park on first attempt. Still, I think it's worth a try.

any solved yet for cn rom?

It seems to have disappeared from settings... Do you have notification problems?

Right after the update to NA 1.18, there were no problems - the Deep Process Clean setting disappeared, but notifications were coming in fine.
That was months ago. Now, I just tested Gmail, and it won't receive emails until the phone is turned on.
We need a solution to this. Quickly.

Hi, sorry to bother you, but is there going to be an update to NA or Global RM3 rom soon?
The problem is that the "Deep Process Clean" option disappeared from settings, and now the phone won't get notifications until it is turned on. The notifications were fine immediately after 1.18 update, but now, 1.5 months later, Gmail won't work until the phone is turned on. Some other people have also noticed this behavior.
If there's an update coming up, could you ask the engineers to put the "Deep Process Clean" option back please?
Thanks.

Version 1.18 removed the deep process clean feature due to some bugs, it will kill the apps and preventing them to run in background. You can do a factory reset and see if you can get the notification.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am not sure what to make of it.
1) The option was removed, but clearly, the code is still there that kills the background apps.
2) He suggested that I do a factory reset, because I may "see if you can get the notification." I would hate to the reset the phone and find out it still kills apps.
3) I wonder if there's any way to clear cache or data from some app/system app to make this work.
Any ideas?

How to prevent ColorOS[CN] setting from changing back?

I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

I'll give this a try.. I've gone into phone manager -> startup manager and allowed the two apps.. the two apps wasn't there even though I have allowed the app to run in the background.
We will see tomorrow.

Nope that didn't work.. anyone else have other suggestions? Anything to remove delete or hack?

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?

Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.

Sounds about right,Have feeling the phone manager app has something to do with it.It does not like the developer options

Ok.. I found my work around for now.
I'm using tasker every 10 mins to change the accessibility options for all the apps that need it and set the google assistant to default.
Working ok so far for the last day.

Seems like more trouble than its worth,the only settings I'm having trouble keeping are the animation ones, but honestly it's not bothering me anymore. Have animations setting set to fast in the stock launcher setting and it's not so bad.

Question Dark mode

Hello there, I recently purchased a OP10P (N2215) and I have some questions about the dark mode feature. Quick background info: visually impaired and damn near impossible to look at much less read black text on white background.
I am coming from a OP8 where it was possible to selectively choose specific apps that were forced into a dark theme. I have not noticed that feature on the OP10P. Is there a way to get the same functionality from a root/non root app?
Edit: already turned on override force-dark in developer settings and some apps still show in normal and not dark mode friendly theme.

Bump. I really need some help. Anything that could potentially help would be appreciated
appreciated

You could enable dev settings and force darkmode on all apps

I already mentioned that I did that. There are still some apps that show in normal theme even with that on.

If you are rooted darq still works per app selectable. Search for it on xda

Unfortunately I am not rooted. I've looked Into darq already as I had used it on a Huawei phone I once had. Remember reading an article on how it doesn't work properly on Android 12.
Also not to mention the app itself loads in normal theme. I know there is a way to use non-rooted as well but the issue is setting it up ‍
I appreciate the suggestion though

I also use substratum themes. So that's also something you should check out. Also if the app has the dark option in the settings of the app you should use that instead of the dark mode. If the app doesn't support dark mode in it's code it won't work to use darq (ex Uber). You will need a sub theme.

Question DND stop working on Oxygen 13

Hi everyone,
The "Do not disturb" feature stop working after I upgraded my OnePlus 10 Pro to Oxygen 13...
still receive notification even when DND is on and with the settings configured to not allow any app to send notifications.
Does anyone had the same problem? How to make it work properly?

nope. you tried turning off and on?

I tried to turn it on and off. Reboot the phone and still doesn't work.
All visual and sound notifications still go through.
I discovered I can use the focus features to silent a specific app. But that's not what I want. I want to use the DnD as it is supposed to be used. It was working perfectly in OxygenOS 12...

i think it's time to ditch updates... need to get back to a12, they have changed to focus mode or priority mode( funny it has both of them) , so now in order to do (both features that were in dnd before) you need to go to focus mode on and put everytime you gonna install new app to put into list list of blocked apps. so you need 2 tiles in quick list to do it. it's strange that it puts app of notifications kinda slow and seems to close some apps in the process... dnd was best thing to live life with phone but i guess i need to go back to android 12. anyway the new UI is grouse

You should open your settings and make sure it is set correctly. COS13 changed the exceptions on mine so make sure your settings are correct.

As I understand it, they completely changed how DND works in OxygenOS13.
If you can choose who can "disturb you" (no one, people from your contacts or "favorites" (or whatever it is called, I´m using a different language setting) then these people can "disturb" you in ANY way. Meaning if you chose "favorites" - you will be informed about every app they use to contact you.
You will not get notifications about EVERYONE ElSE trying to contact you - even if they call. My display won´t even light up. I will just see a missed call. It´s totally useless.

I'm having this issue, after updating yesterday...
I HOPEFULLY found a solution.
In digital wellbeing's option there is the bedtime mode.
With my test today, i found that works like Oxygen 12, so the notification are silent but the calls from favorite still rings.
In oxygen 12 anyway, there was a bug with this feature, if is set with the optimized battery charge of Oxygen.
Tomorrow I will update you if is really working or not.
Anyway, OP is really messing up everything. It's a shame.
