Doubts from a GS4 user :) - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My Galaxy S4 just "died" and I decided that I'm over paying big bucks for high end smartphones when today's smatphones are just as capable. So I've bought a second generation Moto 4G but I have some doubts:
- When I press the ON/OFF button to turn off the phone it only shows me "phone off" or something like this...on my GS4 it used to let me choose from "phone off", "airplane mode" and "restart". Can this button be configured to act like this?
- On my GS4 the notification bar was just awesome. I pulled it down and I could instantly turn on/off the WI-FI, 4G, set the phone to only vibrate, set the phone to airplane mode, set the display's brightness to low during the ninght. Can I configure the notification bar to act like this?
- When the battery is charging the notification bar doesn't show the percentage. Can this be changed?

1) No, you'll need to use custom ROM or Xposed in order to do that. It is not customizable by default on Lollipop.
2) Yeah, just pull down again once you're in the notifications area. You can also pull the status bar down with two fingers at the same time, that will also open the quick settings.
3) The battery percentage can be found on the Quick Settings part of the notification shade, which you can access by using the methods I pointed out above. The battery percentage also shows up on your lockscreen while charging, right next to the icon.
If you wish to have the battery percentage shown at the status bar at ALL times, download Battery Percent Enabler from Play Store. It does not require root or anything else.
Hope I helped.

Do you have KitKat ot lollipop.
Using xposed you could.
Use two finger and xposed
Use xposed.

I cannot see the "set phone to vibrate" anywhere here. I don't want to have to install a custom rom to do something as basic as the stuff I've described. If it comes to it I may install apps that can do what I'm looking for but this stuff is so basic that installing a rom is just pure overkill.

This is the GS4's taskbar. Not only you can have those functions I've mentioned above but as you can see you can choose a bunch of other functions

Just click on the bell in the upper left corner and the phone will change to vibration mode.
For tweaks in the notification area you can root your phone and follow the hints of my preposters.
But there are a lot of apps in the playstore to rearrange or change the notification bar,most of them need root privileges but not all of them. HereĀ“s an example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=de
And as you see by the vibration mode,some features are not visible at the first glance, every phone is different and you may find some things by just using it.

missing icon issue.

hello all i am having an issue that is way more annoying than anything, on the today screen in the upper right hand near where the X or the drop down options menu there is my bars for signal and speaker icon and 3G icon ...only half my reception bar shows up and my speaker icon and battery icon dont show up at all. i have tried restarting uninstalling all my htc_home and reinstalling but nothing gets the icons back ...if i press in that area i can adjust volume its just a lack of the icons if anyone has any ideas how to correct this id love to know! other things i use are wizard_retouched, i have kaiser tweak, and pocket toolman...which i noticed this time is when my icons half went away is when i went to use pocket toolman i have uninstalled and reinstalled everything back down to bare bone but nothing worked. i would love feed back so i dont end up throwing this against a wall.. Wanted to edit because sometimes the speaker icon will come back then go away after my phone sleeps and when i wake it up its back to the half reception bar / no speak/battery icon....thanks.

The icon right above your screen is from HTC task manager.
just kaiser_tweak and pocket toolman which allows some basic stuff..but i didnt change anything before the icons just vanished....and i have since uninstalled them...well kaiser u dont uninstall but ya kno...
Try disabling htc task manager.
Start - > Settings -> System -> Task Manager -> Button -> Enable Quick Menu on Today screen. Put this off. And see if this helps.
I think I had the same problem but I cant remember how did I solve that, sorry.But I think its something with registry(hiding some icon on the bar).
So far it has come back BUT i don't kno if it is going to stay but hopefully works, i have had the problem but i do not remember how i fixed it either...since i disabled the quick icon thing..it looks all naked in that corner but that is fine id rather have my battery icon back =) ty

[Q] "Allow mobile data?" yes/no each time enable data

Hi,
Each time I enable mobile data, a dialog pops up reading:
"Allow mobile data? Additional charges may apply......... Cancel / OK"

Is there anyway to disable/bypass this message as it's annoying I have to tick ok each time I want to turn on mobile data.
Thanks in advance,
PS running stock rom
I noticed that problem too and would be interested in a solution for that. But i don't know how to solve that...:/
Get a widget that turns data on. I'm using Power Toggles and I don't get the question, only if I enabled from the top status bar icon.

Thanks - good to know, but I'd rather just stick with using the top status bar.
I wonder if Elixir2 can block it, much like it blocks the 'data off' notification as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39570962&postcount=13
Wouldn't know what setting to look for in Elixir2 though.
Cheers
I also like to use original Sony widget..any possibility to disable? Also disabled the notification when you turn it off with elixier..but dont Know which File to disable..

This is bugging me as well. I think this can fixed with root. I have no experience in development so I can't tell you for sure, but if one can change the size of navbars, then skipping this message should be accomplished by changing a 1 into a 0 somwhere in the code.
Have looked through the other services in Elixir2 and nothing obvious stands out to turn off this Cancel/OK dialog on activation of data. It's incredibly annoying!
(have successfully disabled the notification after turning it off)
Would love to know which flag it is I need to disable...

5.1: Missing Shortcuts & Settings Menu in Notification Bar

I just manually upgraded to 5.1 (rooted and encrypted) and have run into a problem accessing the shortcuts and settings menu when swiping down on the notification bar.
Right after rebooting, if I swipe down on the notification bar I see the shortcuts (WiFi, BT, hotspot, etc) and am able to click on the gear symbol to access the settings menu. The problem is when swiping down again, I only get a "No notifications" message. When touching the profile icon, I don't get the settings menu either. Also, I no longer see the priorities selection when using the volume button, only the slider.
I looked through the settings and did not see any options for enabling/disabling the shortcuts/menus.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks
That's very weird.
Post a screenshot.

Please post a screenshot of the volume issue.
I've tried the double swipe but I still get no menus. I've also noticed that I get no notifications showing up in the bar. I hear them but they don't show up. I also no longer have the swipe to unlock feature on the phone even though it's set for it.
I've also flashed it again manually and still no joy.
Thanks
If you're here its not user error, you should try and factory reset.

[GUIDE] Alert Slider - Partial Workaround

Since I had the Oneplus 5 I noticed the alert slider's functionality is pretty dumb. I have looked everywhere for a way to have it in silence/vibrate/all and I finally found a partial solution.
This lets you get SILENCE/ALL/VIBRATE in this order from top to bottom positions
Download OnePlus Mode Switcher.
The app lets you set the volume of the standard "ALL" setting to vibrate. It works in the background and you can set it to open on startup.
Set the slider options like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This has been tested and is working on OOS 4.5.10, but it should also work on any other OOS custom rom.
For those who need a much more customizable slider, I suggest MoKee or RR. These roms have the MoKee slider options but they're not OOS based.
don't see how getting used to op5 slider is hard. tbh it's logical that bottom is and top is mute.

It's badly implemented. It doesn't reflect the standard Android settings of silence/vibrate/all.
It breaks all those apps that revolve around those statuses, since they didn't even flag the position change the same way.
The priority setting is useless (for me), it doesn't allow you to mute apps, and so if you're in a meeting you can only choose between them hearing everything or you not hearing anything.
The volume in all/priority can't be set to 0. This is basically them brute forcing a design flaw on us so that we use it as they wanted it.
The settings cannot be changed without Xposed [which for now is unstable and so the old module devs (for 3/3T) are waiting]. This is just stupid, we're on android, not iOS. It's literally just a triggered action, they could change it in maybe 3 minutes counting system bootup and IDE opening time. How much money is that, less than 1$?
I agree. I don't ever use the slider 'cause it's useless..

Battery Saver mode in Android 9

I can't seem to find the Battery Saver mode in Android 9 (MIUI v10.1.2.0) anymore.
There's also no indication in the battery meter for activating such mode. (used to show as orange in the meter background)
Am i the only one missing this?

Whatsapp / Line notifications have always been unreliable in Chinese ROM, that is quite a common issue.
Another thing that you might check is under Settings -> Battery & Performance -> Scenes -> Non-interactive mode and make sure it is DISABLED.
