I applied EU 12.0.5 OTA a few days ago. Today I noticed a new toggle called Work Mode in quick settings. I guess it arrived or activated with OTA. The toggle was on. Since I don't use the phone for work purposes I turned it off. It put a crossed briefcase icon (off work?) in notification area. See attachment. I wanted to remove this icon by toggling the Work Mode again but the toggle was disappeared from the quick settings. Now I'm left with this Work Mode Disabled icon in the notification area and it's very annoying. I couldn't find any other settings that is related to this. I searched Work in settings which suggested a Synch Work Mode toggle under Accounts & Sync but when I go there there's no such toggle. A quick Google revealed that Android Work Mode function does not work in MIUI and Xiaomi removed it from their ROMs. Looks like there are still bits and pieces remaining in their code and updating to 12.0.5 brought it back in Quick settings. Does anyone experienced a similar issue in 12.0.5? Do you see Work Mode in Quick settings? What happens when you disable the Toggle? Is it still there? I also reordered my Quick settings after that. Not sure editing the Quick settings layout made this toggle disappear. Thanks for your help.
No I dont have one.
Hi, I've got the same icon after previous OTA. Now it's gone, but don't know what exactly I've done to get it disappeared. Maybe just a reboot.
Do you have cloned an app ? My microsoft launcher said a have a work mode because I have a cloned app.

Hi thanks for the feedback. I have some social apps Whatsapp etc. cloned. But it wasn't there before the last OTA. Hopefully next OTA will remove the orphan Work More Disabled icon from my notification area.
hi i too got this crossed briefcase icon , MI sucks in update as usual . don't know when they will clear this error
If you have any of the dual apps (Whatsapp, Facebook etc.) enabled, MIUI asks you to enable the work mode (Yes/No choice), that's how enabled work mode again and got rid of the briefcase icon. I guess they use work mode framework to implement their dual apps functionality. I can access my dual apps again, briefcase icon is gone and I don't see any other difference.

You may need to open settings/apps/dual apps, and then select settings and select delete dual apps and their accounts. Your device will be reboot and you'll find it removed from the notification area.

I'm using Poco launcher. When launched a cloned app it asked me to enable the work mode with a yes/no option. I clicked on yes and cloned apps started working again.

Howdy!
So- shortly before the NoDo update, I noticed some erratic behavior with some of my apps. For one thing, push notifications for everything that wasn't a phone function seemed to be inconsistent. Secondly, certain apps just wouldn't work (e.g. AP Mobile crashed on launch, Alpha Jax wouldn't show notifications, gReadie, Flixster, AP Mobile and Weather live tiles wouldn't update.)
I did some research and it looks like these errors are related to the "push constipation" issue, where inactive or uninstalled apps with push or live tile function remain in the registry. Now, before NoDo if you had an unlocked device you could install a registry editor and remove some registry entries and the problems were solved... but I decided to wait for NoDo, hoping it would fix the issue but it did not.
So after trying everything, even resetting the phone completely, the issues keep coming back after some time. Until today!
Long story short, for whatever reason, disabling WiFi and cellular data, turning the phone off and then back on, and opening the programs that seem to be having issues while still offline... seems to fix the issue. After turning data back on I can confirm that all of my issues were solved:
AP Mobille tile updates
Alpha Jax notifications come through
gReadie live tile updates
Weather live tile updates
Maybe it's coincidence, but I just wanted to share here so that if any other locked, post NoDo users were having these kind of issues, they could try to fix it.
I was getting super frustrated and hope I can prevent that for some others lol. Good luck!
No go for me...
Alpha Jax from time to time will keep notification on there when in fact there is none, and also from time to time will show no notification when there is one. But on my Arrive after I get a new notification and play the indicator fixes itself, conversely if I have no notification and I have a game to play, if I play out the game, on the next go around the notification works correctly.
AlphaJax keeps giving me the Push Notification error. I tried your method with no luck unless I did something wrong.
I did a hard reset only about 2 weeks ago so this situation is just beyond stupid.
After the NoDo update, my tiles stopped working but using your method worked. I did exactly as you wrote but took an extra step and re-synced my apps that used toast notifications and now they're back. Although, it seems to only work for tiles that use toast notifications because the weather channel tile still has a mind of its own, but that's probably due to pull and not push and I reinstalled AP Mobile but the live tile doesn't work for me.
So Microsoft might be right in that the problem might have to do with some kind of issue with the phone's internet connection instead of the max number of registry entries, or it could be a combo of both??
Either way, thanks dude!
Gus can you post a step by step guide of what you did because I don't get anywhere. Cheers.

I think their problem is different from yours, as I reproduced your problem and this fix won't work for me either. I think there's was just a matter of resyncing the servers after the update while yours is the 'notification constipation' issue. I broke mine purposely, not sure if you remember, and can't get it back. I'm not going to hard reset either as I really don't care, as my main live tile (WeatherBug) still works... But hopefully Microsoft addresses this with a patch. You could always revert back to your back up and unlock as a temporary fix, then reupdate to fix the registry, though I completely agree with you that we shouldn't have to do it, and it shouldn't be an option. I don't think even Microsoft expected the growth it has received, both sales & marketplace wise, or it definitely would have set the limit significantly higher...

Select "Automatic Time Zone" in time settings when connected to Network. Go to Airplane Mode and Restart and turn Airplane Mode off!
It should work!

Hey Guys
doesnt any one know what problems it could b :/
do u think it helps if i flash a new rom onto my tablet?
I can't get Smart unlock to work with safe places. I've set my home address, which shows fine in the list of safe places, and it shows correctly in the map. But the phone keeps asking to be unlocked even if I'm at home.
I've tried rebooting it, turning off and on the location... Location seems to be working fine.
Any advice on how to make it work?
High location on? Noticed battery saver won't unlock it. Haven't tried GPS only..

Try letting google add ur location by GPS for safe places? Rather then ur address..

Well I tried that, but it's not letting me since it says that location has been already added, and I can't remove it, only turn it off.
One thing I've realized is that every time I reboot the phone I get a "Google play services stopped working" error. Could that have anything to do? Even after saying that, if I go to running applications it shows there, so I guess it just starts itself after crashing.
BTW whrn i installed the lolipop update I did a full factory reset.
EDIT:
I cleared the Google play services data and rebooted, this time it didn't crash. However safe places still are ignores and my phone keeps locking when it shouldn't

Tried that too without success... I don't get what is going on! It was my most anticipated feature
Could you let me know what you did to set it up? What settings you changed? Just trying to figure out if I'm missing something....
Thanks for all your help!
That's the feature I wanted from lollipop after leaving my Nexus 5.. Ive done just as a suggested.. Weird. Only other thing I'd try is to disable smart lock and a lock screen code, then setup through smart lock again.

My smart lock works intermittent. I would say a quarter of the time the smart lock operates. It's a shame, it's a really nice idea.
Wait, I may have found a possible solution http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-trusted-places-not-working-anymore.html
Update: Yes, uninstalling Google play services updates and then reinstalling updates followed by a reboot solved all my issues.
smart location has issues its not very accurate so if you want it to work at your location you'll have to add areas surrounding your location
as per Google's recommendation if smart location does not work try adding your location via pin tips.
Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread. My smart lock feature stopped working around 2 months ago and I already tried everything (except for a factory reset) and I can't get it work. Neither trusted device nor places work. I hoped that the recent AT&T update (installed it yesterday) would help, I deleted all trusted devices, wiped the cache partition, added bluetooth devices again with no luck.
Any idea how to get it work? I do not want to factory reset just to find you it did not help. Thank you.
It didn't work for me before, the recent update fixed it.
Hi All,
I am having a lot of problem with the internet data on my phone; I can browse and use any internet required app when using wifi but I am unable to do some things using my Data plan.
Whats weird is that I can use whatsapp, olx or facebook messenger to send text messages but cannot send images through them, I am able to play games such as Clash of Clans or Clash Royale but I cannot use Uber because it just keeps signing in but it never does.
At this point I don't think theres a problems with the hardware but with a specific setting I may need to modify (May be wrong though)
Heres what I've tried so far:
- Factory reset
- Reset Network settings
- Erase and add all of the APNS for my phone company
- Check on the mobile data (enable and disable) and enable roaming data.
- Made sure the SIM fits properly on the slot
- Uninstall and reinstall all the apps that I have had problems with.
- Everything tested ok when using wifi but it starts happening when I start using my mobile data.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I love the phone but am pretty disappointed on this situation I am having, Am even thing of maybe go back to Android 6.0 and see if 7.0 is the problem
Thanks!!!
Victor
Hi,
You need to check your sprint account and check if there is some restriction on your phone number
I had the same problem, everything ok with wifi but data partially working.
What i did is install the HiddenMenu apk then:
-LG Hidden Menu
-FieldTest
-NAO Test
-NAOT
-NAOT Settings > Enable > NAO Carrier: i selected ATT.
Then i restarted the phone and voila.
When i restart my phone i get an anoying Activating Device Popup. What i do is unlock the phone before it appears and when it comes up i slide down the notification bar and go to settings many time until the popup dissapears.

I got the newest update on my S7 active. The one where they removed the usage manager app. I used that heavily to turn off/on my data since samsung/AT&T decided to now include that in the pull down menu. I decided to use this method to add the tile (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ttings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/). I have before and it worked. I just got tired of redoing it after every update. This time though, it wouldn't add the MobileData tile. It added the Bluetooth tile fine. I even tried it twice to make sure it wasn't operator error. Is there any other way to easily access that function?

I believe you need root to add the Mobile Data toggle to the notification shade, I tried the SQL method about a year our so ago and that was the reason it was unsuccessful. It really sucks that AT&T did this.
The good news is there are quite a few third-party apps that stand in for Usage Manager in that capacity. I've been using MZ Mobile Data Switch since the update. I just put the icon where my Usage Manager was and use it the same way.
