Yeah, if you star contacts, you can set priority mode so that starred ones ring through, and it cleverly distinguishes between calls and messages. I haven't done enough testing to check hangouts, email, etc. But it does work for calls.

You can't do the "two-calls-to-override" thing but I'm pretty sure you could reproduce that with Tasker.

Is there a way to manage my list of devices that the Google Play store checks for compatibility? It's still checking my old Nexus 5 (that I sent to be replaced) as well as the T-Mobile G2 I used prior. I'd like to remove them.

It looks like they finally fall off the list if they haven't been used for 3 years. The last thing on my list is an old Galaxy Nexus I threw away in November 2012, and my N1 and other ancient stuff from before that no longer show up.

I've found that just leaving all the shitware apps turned on (disabling nothing) results in better battery life these days. Seems disabling system apps causes the OS to endlessly try to use them, burning battery. Used to have like 15 disabled apps on my Note 4. After LP yesterday, I just turned them all on. Smooth sailing.

I'm asking because on my Nexus 4 (that I lost) I was able to use BetterBatteryStats to disable anything causing partial wakelocks. Since I can't use that anymore, I'm just curious if there are any apps that are known to cause a lot of battery drainage that I should look out for

Also speaking of keyboards, mine fucks up and flashes to this occasionally when typing after 5.1 (I use the dark material theme), goes away after I tap any character

Disconnect the battery from the board. You should get a few months of battery life before it discharges itself.

And okay I reenabled most of that. I just remember the google stuff causing battery issues with my nexus 4, but that was a couple years ago so I guess things have improved.

Probably safer to just disconnect your aorta from your left ventricle. These issues will just fall away.

Unless you're going on a two-week jungle adventure and need to eke out every last drop of battery life, just leave your phone the way it's meant to be and use all those magical things you're denying yourself. Some people have battery issues sometimes, they don't know exactly what causes it and why, if it happens to you it wouldn't be something you could really avoid anywayactionjackson posted:My understanding was that notifications are wake locks, so a phone that is displaying notifications must "wake itself up" quite a bit which is worse for the battery than if it is sleeping (or whatever it's called). Honestly if you don't even know what's going on under the hood (and why would you need to? It's a phone) there's a good chance you're making things worse by messing around with stuff you don't understand. At least try it stock and see if it's fine! Crack open a live wallpaper and kick back with some cloud printing

actionjackson posted:My understanding was that notifications are wake locks, so a phone that is displaying notifications must "wake itself up" quite a bit which is worse for the battery than if it is sleeping (or whatever it's called). If you're just unchecking the "show notifications" box in Android Settings' app info screen, that has nothing to do with wakelocks and you're just making your phone less useful. That quite literally JUST stops notifications emitted from the app to be displayed on the screen. It was designed to be used on lovely apps that embed adware and present ads as notifications in the bar, which was a common thing up until 2012 or so. An app gets a message from Google's backend while the screen is off. For sake of example, Gmail gets a message that you got a new mail. The Gmail app will try to do something with that information, like sync the message to your inbox locally so it can be displayed when you open it. The app needs a wakelock so that the system doesn't go back to sleep and kill Gmail while it's in the middle of downloading. As part of that same processing, it also just pops up the notification. That last part is the only thing that gets stopped. You seem to be trying to turn your phone into a brick just by cargo culting poo poo from XDA forums, who are like the best examples ever of cargo culting poo poo on their own.

Displaying notifications and syncing data in the background can be (and usually are?) separate. The notification itself isn't the issue, and you can actually disable notifications in app info, rather than disabling the app. But that won't stop an app from giving you wakelocks by syncing constantly in the background. ^^^^ dammit, yeah, what he said
