Android 5.0 Lollipop thread

There are. Whilst I like the recently opened apps with the little x in the corner making them like windows, they look messy, and I think it was this mess of open apps that prevented me seeing what I was doing

Don't like the new white keyboard either, with even smaller characters (or am I imagining that?)

Yes, all this ^^

Does this not happen automatically? My N5 is permanently on silent and my alarm wakes me up every day. I don't think i changed any settings.

Not on Lollipop. Silent mode has gone.

Anything to do with that Priority setting which lets certain calls through? Maybe it lets alarms through as well

On 2nd thoughts I've always put my phone on silent by turning down the ringer volume and the alarm still works. I don't think I ever silenced it using silent mode.

Mapped, that's how I did it before the update.

Priority mode is a clunky work around it seems.

That's what I do at night. Wouldn't even know where to find the silent mode

The old way still works for me after the update and I've been woken up by the alarm every day since.

What device? I'm on a Nexus 5

Same. I have my volume on 'None' permanently and the alarm still goes off in the morning.

It tells me I'll get no alarm which I've tested and is true.

Another thing that I've had happen, and I think this happened before the update. I think the last time it happened was when I was listening to a voicemail. I wanted to hang-up as I didn't need to hear the whole message, but the screen was blank (black) and I couldn't get it to come back. Had to switch the phone on and off again. This has happened a few times. Anyone know what's causing it?

Maybe some setting in Sound & Notification then Interruptions. It mentions Alarms are Always Priority Interruptions

I know that's a different scenario, but maybe something needs to be tweaked on Sound & Notification settings?

The volume rocker if turned to minimum goes to NONE and says "No interruptions, not even alarms", whereas if you have it on "Priority interruptions", it looks like you can turn off calls, messages, events and reminders but alarms will still sound. I think!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I've just tried ringing myself from the landline whilst in Priority mode. No volume coming out of phone. Alarm is set to go off in a minute. Will report back if it works

eta: Alarm works fine

I predict that once you get used to it, going back to the previous OS will seem like a massive step back.

As for me, I HAVEN'T FUCKING GOT LOLLIPOP YET.

Oh, you may find this useful: https://gigaom.com/2014/11/17/silent-vibrate-do-not-disturb-android-priority-notifications/

 

[twentythreedom]

Careful now

 

[Mapped]

Ignore me, I've found out why mine keeps waking me up on the NONE setting. I go to sleep every night with earphones in

Priority mode is useful info to know about for when I don't have any earphones in.

 

[MBV]

Thanks all

You sleep all night with earphones in?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

So, back to my screen going black in the middle of a call and not being able to get screen back on... anyone?

 

[MBV]

Pressing power once doesn't wake it up?

 

[Mapped]

You sleep all night with earphones in?

Yeah. They're ear buds and they block out external noise. My wife is heavily pregnant and in and out of bed all night, so my earphones stop me from waking up as well.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Pressing power once doesn't wake it up?

No. Unfortunately I've not taken note of when it happens, but the last time was with a voicemail. Had to switch it off a few times to get it back. I shouldn't have to press power to wake it up in the first place though should I?

You should be suffering with your wife instead of having a good sleep

I think my screen goes black on my N5 whilst on a call as a power saving feature but when I remove it from ear it lights back up.

Doesn't seem to do that for me. It's almost like it's crashing. I was just looking at it a minute ago and had pressed menu button to get to phone book, but screen was blank except for the top and bottom bars. Pressing any of those bottom buttons brought nothing up. Can't figure out whether it's something to do with the lock screen but I'm sure this has also happened pre-Lollipop

Well I've had ascreen protector on phone ever since I got it and this problem has only started recently

Seems like it's not just me having problems

On the off chance you had the same problem I did a while back. Have you got a screen protector? I picked some up from ebay and they messed with the proximity sensor which turns off the screen when your head is near.

Every time I made a call the screen would go off and wouldn't come back on again with any reliability.

There are more expensive ones that had a bit cut out for the proximity sensor - I just chopped them off myself before giving up on them altogether though.

Yes, I mistakenly wrote cover instead of screen protector. The screen protector I have has a cut-off for the sensor and it doesn't look like it's slipped at all.

I've just installed the Proximity Sensor App and it says "Available".

I'm not sure what's happening now. I've gone to come out of the Proximity Sensor and have pressed main menu button again, but just black screen. I can swipe up and get Google and can swipe down for Settings, but can't get to Home Screen without using Power button

Still not got it! FFS google you utter bastards.
