Why is this "silent mode" screen coming up?

[AC Question]

When I plug in or unplug my phone from a charger whole it's on silent, a screen saying "good morning" pops up with a different wallpaper. It says slide to unlock on the bottom (I have my phone set to a fingerprint and pin). It has only the option to mute it from the options in the top right. In the center it says how the phone is in silent mode and mentions how I might miss calls and gives me the options to put the ringer on or not. I didn't change any settings recently for this screen to pop up.

I have the same issue on the galaxy s6. Noticed it just after the most recent update a few days ago. I haven't touched any settings but when I plug in the charger same thing happens. Says it's in silent mode.

Why has this not been answered yet?! I have the same problem. I cant see anything when I look through my settings that lets me disable that.

I have been looking all day for some sort of way to get rid of this problem.

I didn't even know there was an update that happened on my galaxy s6. All I know is this shows up everytime I plug or unplug my phone from a charger. I really hope this gets resolved because it's honestly quite annoying to deal with.

Agreed. It is annoying. I want it to go away. Can't find a setting to fix it.

Yeah same thing happened to my S5.
I didn't notice any android update... I don't really care about it but it's really weird and I would like to find out why this is happening

 

[gxm204]

Same thing here. Looking into it. I guess I'm not alone...

The same thing started happening with my S6 yesterday. This morning when my alarm went off at 4:30, I could not turn off the alarm because of the new screen. This is a problem because my husband does not get up at 4:30. Also, I don't like my phone being so easy to unlock. Why have a password if the phone will let anyone unlock it after it has been on the charger. Someone please tell us how to turn this feature off.

I heartily agree. Unnecessary, annoying splash screen that is not helpful. Anyone find a way of disabling?

According to some other threads, it's the peel remote app. I turned it off and the screen seemed to disappear.

 

[Chris Lumanlan]

Thank you!!!

I looked for peel remote within the Google store and it said I had it installed.
Clicked uninstall and now it's gone

 

[sdhobbs]

Thank you! I disabled Peel Remote and that seemed to do the trick.

What about those of us who use peel? Any idea how this silent mode actually works? I don't mind it I just don't know how to use it, I can never find out exactly how to activate it and it doesn't happen every time. Mine doesn't override my lockscreen, it says swipe to unlock but that just takes me to my regular lock screen. Any help is appreciated

You can go into the Application Settings and change some notification options there, ie no notifications when the screen is locked.

You're free to use it if you want to, but I thought I should I mention that when I went to disable Peel due to this issue I was surprised to see that it had also been the largest drain on my battery (moreso than the screen/OS, even) since charging despite me having not used the app. I'm not an expert but I know there are certainly other apps available that provide TV remote capabilities, which I do like to have on my phone in case I want it. I'm sure there's an option available that works well, without making its users feel harassed.

And the question is... Why a remote control app worries about the phone volume???

 

[Goatboy1974]

I'm also having the same issue. It's bloody annoying. I set it to silent, the operating system doesn't need to endlessly tell me it's in silent. Whoever thought of this "helpful" notice should possibly be shot? Harsh I realise but really . . .

 

[Goatboy1974]

Sorry my screen hadn't refreshed properly . . . I can see the fix. No idea I'd installed Peel but it's now off my phone and in the bloody bin. Thanks all.

 

[AndreausEl]

I don't have Peel Remote but i have the same issue and i dunno how to remove it.

Any help please?

Thank You
