Advanced Profile

Hello,
I am new here, and have the Smartphone HTC S730.
I would like to have a profile that would automatically change during my working hours to vibrate and go back to normal like say after 6:00PM.
Now I see Automatic field stating the profiles will switch when my calendar shows me as busy, but this means I will have to go in and set my time as busy every week from Monday to Friday for the whole year?
Are there any easier ways for this?
I have done some searches but most sites are not Model specific enough to get a good answer.

there are several applications to set different timers to change profile (or make a lot of similar automatizations)
try searching auto flight mode on google or try smarttoolkit (my schedule),activekitten chronos or other similar programs...

Well I solved it using SBSH Calendar, using a custom appointment.

Thanks znial for your suggestions, I may have to try them.
Today I was hearing my mail and phone ringing all day!
The profile kept changing itself back to normal 3 seconds after I put it on Automatic!
So I loaded SBSH Calendar and it seemed to stick to the schedule for about 15 mins then it went back to Normal Profile again! so my phone has a mind of its own, and I'll get a beep for every email as well, and I don't even have a sound set for that.
Could it be any of these pograms I'm using:
Geodesic Mundo Radio
Google maps
Microsoft Live search (gonna remove since it wont search in the NL)
PocketX Photo Contacts PRO (not too sure I like that one looking for a better one)
SBSH Calendar
SBSH Clock
SBSH Facade
SBSH Pocketweather
SBSH MyList
Others not worth mentioning
I had many themes running at times, like myPhone and that had a program called phoneAlarm, which seemed to ever controlling, but there uninstalled, just wondering if theres any lingering files or registry entries that may affect my profile?

it could be or not, sorry i don't know
but if you think that, maybe you could try to do an hard reset. reinstall everything you need and look if the problem persists.
or wait for people more expert than me.
sorry again if i condn't help you anymore
best regards
Z.
i think that phonealarm has a feature for scheduled tasks and profiles too, but i never used this application.

Notification Bar Bug: Keeps going semi- transparent

Please I need help if possible.
I've had my Samsung S10 for a month, and it's been great but i've a new problem and I can't seem to figure out why it is happening. See the picture below.
The notification bar keeps turning semi-transparent/blurred. Why is this happening, i've uninstalled up, it's the same on Nova Launcher & TouchWiz.
It's not clear why this is happening. I've reset wallpapers etc, but can't fix it.
When I reboot the phone it disappears, but either within a few mins or hours it reappears and seriously devalues the home screen.
Please help. How can i rectify this?
Any help is much appreciated.

have you tried to use the default theme?
do you use good lock, if so- what good lock apps do you use?

I made lock screen notification background 100% transparent, that helped.

hi
thx to both you.
I've somehow fixed it and used partly your ideas.
I removed apps one by one and rebooted countless times, but no lucks.
Also then changed settins and rebooted many times.
I changed some notificaition settings too, and rebooted.
However, I've no idea what it is that helped to sort it out.
I know there are others with this problem, I think it is do with Good Lock and Edge Lighting+, i've not readded Good Lock.
Thx to all, if anyone else has this problem then post here and I'll try to help you.
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: Again thx to those who replied to my request above.

Darn!
I think i spoke too soon! The problem reoccurred a day later
So having done also soft reboots, I don't believe it's the apps.
BUT what is the cause of that problem I can't fathom.
So sadly I have done a full factory reset! which is poor.
Hopefully that's the full end of it.
If anyone does figure out the reason for why this occurs, please post it here for all. thx

Hey.
I might have found the solution for that, without restarting the phone.
Got the S10+ few weeks ago and had the same issue with the status/notification bar going semi-trans (blurry).
I have fingerprint and pattern set as unlock options. The status bar goes fully transparent again when unlocking the phone with the pattern.
Now, still not sure what's causing this 'issue' but at least the solution was found (and it's not to restart the phone).
Hope this is going to work for you as well.
Cheers

Had the same issue, sent it to service so they could fix this...not sure if it's a phone problem or software, but I tried everything. Don't use Good Lock, nor any dubious third party apps. At one point, the screen started to flicker on lock screen, quite peculiar. But the blur effect really bugged me, sometimes it appeared in a couple of minutes, hours or even days, randomly. Is Samsung aware of this issue?

iggyp44 - Hi, thx for that, but I found the only solution was to do a hard reset, which I sadly did. Never reappeared since then.
Axys72 - I've sent a message on this to Samsung, that's all i know if they are aware or care.
Seems like a few of us have had this problem, so hopefully they will work on it to sort it out.
Only solution for me was a hard reset.

I've had the same issue... My suspection for what causing it: when I using galaxy buds and receive a massage via fb massenger... So far I noticed that twice, but I'm not sure if this really is the cause... Looking forward for solution, it's driving me somewhat crazy ?

Turn off the fingerprint unlock animation. That's what's causing it.

I tried settings reset and also hard reset it's the same
Rest the entire phone works fine
Can anybody suggest what could be an issue

Suspicious apps 0 byte size and more

Think I posted this in the wrong forum page earlier. I posted it in questions, I wasn't sure because there is more to it than just apps. So sorry for the dupe.
Hello, first thread on here. Didn't see anything that covered this, so sorry if its a duplicate. So 2 issues now and both of them are a little concerning. First Got a verizon samsung s20 fe just over a week ago. Before the system update #2 was installed or even poped up on my screen yelling at me I did the usual removal of bloat ware. While scrolling through the app list found about 15 apps give or take that were very unusual. some there were multiple of the same thing (name circular, 0byte file size on internal, no permissions requested and nothing under the all permissions tab, etc. I'll put a screen shot of the list of all of them) and I have yet to be able to find anything on this anywhere and now that I have sys. Update 2 installed I've noticed even more and other odd things in my app list. Such as when I disabled some useless apps I would never and have never used ever or anything close, it revealed (added them to the app list) other apps that were not there before. after system update 2 smart lock settings would open up a blank white page on chrome, now it has completely disappeared from all settings catagories. And literally while i am typing this and went to the app list to get screen shots, even more apps have appeared and some have even changed their permissions and restored some of their permissions, backround data,, backround battery use etc.
So essentially my phone has decided its going to do whatever the [email protected]$# it wants since the update after I've already gone once and went over permission and everything else for everything. To account for stupid $#!* that comes with a system update.
Any info on any of this and advice would greatly be appreciated.
P.s. the grey apps in the app drawer screen shot are the only things I've installed and I only added wish, pocket morties, insta, and snap over the past couple of days. And they haven't added anything besides their respective apps to the drawer. Most duplicate 0b apps were there prior, after system update 2even more appeared along with other strange thing starting to happen, or they revealed after bloatware and useless apps were removed or disabled.

Also. For a new phone that bloat ware/other useless things etc. Have been removed as much as possible without root, I still have 443 apps if I click show system apps.

Just a bump to show im still here waiting for some sort of reply. But really what happened to xda? You use to get answers for basically anything within 5 days max or atleast a comment or 2 asking for more info or w.e but now all you get is views?!?!?!?!

Dude, nobody owes you a reply! What do you want from people?! If people want to reply to you, they will! If they don't, tough luck! Maybe people don't feel like trying to sort through your wall of incomprehensible rants?
Yes, there are a ton of apps on your phone! That's how Samsung does things. Nothing you can do about it.

Help! Weird Nova Launcher "widget" on home screen - can't get rid of it.

So I was playing around with some widgets a couple weeks ago and somehow got this Nova "thing" on the side of my screen and can't figure out how to remove it. Seems it's always right in the way, lol. Screenshot below, but a few points:
a.) It's on every page of launcher home screen
b.) I can drag it and keep it anywhere vertically on the side of screen
c.) I can drag it to the other side of the screen but not drop it anywhere in between.
Hope someone can help me here, I feel pretty stupid on this one, thanks!

Usually you can drag any widget all the way to the top and a "remove" X will appear to drop it on. If long pressing doesn't give a menu option to remove or delete I would look at my backups. Even if your backup is weeks or months old, restoring it will get rid of the widget and you can quickly arrange things the way they were before. If you don't have any backups, make one and uninstall Nova. Then reinstall and restore to see if the widget is gone.

Ah, good point about the backups, I'll check to see if I have any - I may have some on my cloud drive that I backed up after reset as well. I had looked for the droppable to delete it but wasn't there, was kinda hellbent on figuring out what exactly it is or is supposed to do but I'm just happy to get rid of it at this point. Thanks for the help!

Ever solve this? I have same issue

I have no idea why no one has responded to this but it's actually quite simple go into settings then go to accessibility then choose Nova launcher and you'll see the option to turn off Nova launcher shortcut

Split Screen to Split Top

Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.
Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.
Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.
Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.
Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.

Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.
After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:
-Turn ON system animations.
That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.
I hope this helps someone

Thanks for the reply.
Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?

I have it in:
"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"
I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.

Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.
What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.
I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?
Just to discard animation related settings.
I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that

Well, what do you know...a bit of success.
Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.
So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.
Thanks for the input.

I'm glad it helped at the end!
I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...
Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.

1,000% this. I'll be returning my brand-new Pixel 6 and returning to my old phone which will never even be eligible for A12
