Hey, after I updated to 4.3, I'm getting this extremely annoying invisible movable and resizable box on my lockscreen. Sometimes when it's moved it has small pencil icon on the bottom right hand corner.
Idk what this box is, as I've unclicked just about everything in SETTINGS>LOCK SCREEN and it's still there.
The reason I want it gone is it prevents me from quickly accessing my phone as the box highlights itself if I accidentally touch it.
Any ideas? Thanks

I removed one app 5 times because I could only get to settings during initial setup. I was so angry there was no menu button. Then I heard about the long press
Step by step like a tutorial if you want to.

New Message preview
After receiving a new text message, there's an alert on the lockscreen that reads, "Messages New Message". Anyone else find this practically useless? Is there a way to get that notification to give a preview of the message?
What I've been doing is either tapping on the New Message banner then swiping in the highlighted box below to unlock and go straight to that message. Or I pull down the top panel and tap on the message preview found there. Either works, but seems like extra steps.

okay. I will try it. thanks.
You can create an auto-reject list.
From the Phone App - going into settings (3 dots on the top right) and Settings-> Call -> Call rejection. From there you can set to reject form list and start creating a list of numbers you don't want to hear from.

If you open the messaging app, go to settings, notifications, and at the bottom if you check lockscreen it will show the sender and part of the text instead of just new message. You can also turn on pop up where it shows a pop up message where you can reply to a message without going into the messaging app. Pretty convenient. Hope this helps.

Anyone know of a way to make long pressing the home button on the lock screen turn on flashlight like in the miui rom?
1. long press on the recent apps button while looking at one of your home screens, or long press on the home screen to get your scrren menu then hit "home screen settings" uncheck "my magizine" to get rid of the magazine tab
2. go into camera and hit settings turn off picture stabilization to make the camera much more responsive and get rid of that "please hold still" delay when trying to take pics of moving targets (dogs, kids, etc)
3. until we get root third part apps will NOT save to the external SD card (your camera and some stock apps will, but playlists from 3rd party mp3, back ups from any back up app, 3rd party notepad, 3rd party alarms like smart alarm, etc will not) so be careful that if you need to back something up use dropbox or something like that these third party apps may back up to an emulated storage (still internal storage) so if you factory reset when we actually get root you will still lose everything you thought you saved
4. if someone helped you hit the thanks button, lol
Disable/hide apps you don't use from your app drawer: go to app drawer - long press recents/hit menu button (three vertical dots) - select "Uninstall/Disable Apps"

So I was playing around with the fingerprint scanner and wanted to add more then 3 fingerprints. When I was setting up my thumb, I also swiped my pointer finger. After the set up was complete. I found it let me unlock the phone with both fingers from the one setup. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I figured someone out there might find it useful.

Already posted in the fingerprint thread but thought it could be useful here..
What I did was use the 3 allotted different fingerprints and scan my thumb at slightly different angles so I could swipe my thumb horizontally rather than vertically and it works a lot better now.

Thanks!! Just confirmed this worked for me. I was able to use right thumb, left thumb, and index finger on just 1 fingerprint setting.
I am going to copy and paste this info into the thread I made on the Fingerprint Scanner Tips.
Doesn't matter How beautiful is the UI of Lollipop , There Are Certain Things Which You Will Feel Uncomfortable With .
Here Are A Few Con's Which I Feel Uncomfortable With .
1. Two Controls To Unlock Screen ;
First You Need To Push The LockScreen cLock ; Then To Unlock Security Pattern or Pin If You Enabled It ..
Uncomfortable !!! Isn't It ?
2. Two Controls To Come Out Of Quick Setting Toggles Even If There Are No Active Notifications .
First A Swipe Up , Which Brings you Back To Notification Panel ; Then A Touch Or A Swipe Up Again To Close Notification Panel.
Disgusting .. Isn't it ?
3. Whenever You Want To Get Rid Of Non Clearable Notification , Holding It Will Not Bring Up The App Info PopUp .. Instead It Gets You To Notification Settings Of That Particular App ; Which Means You Cannot Force Stop The App Which Shows Non Clearable Notification And Imagine You Have No idea Which Part Of System It Belongs To, Then It Stays Forever. Which Can Only Be Hidden And Not Stopped .
Weird .. Isn't It ?

Of course they do well ..
But the quick setting thing is what bothers me .
Two swipes to pull down is okay ..
But two swipe ups to close ; cannot agree to it

I think they are working on UX part too in recent builds, they fixed a lot of problems which were reported previously, and hope these will also be.

Hey explain why is the resolution of the camera reduced by 0.1 pixel on both ends? In other words why is the resolution 4.9 not 5.0 on back and 1.9 not 2.4 in front?
Hey guys!
I just bought my Huawei Mate 9 and coming from a two year old Oneplus One i can say it feels like flying, but at the same time I seem to been having some problems, I don't know if it is EMUI that works this way, but I find this next things serious problems more than annoyances.
1. First there is the notification bar, nothing wrong with it when I'm at the home screen, but when I go into an app it seems to vanish and the only way to know what's going on in my phone is to manually pull it down. Is there any solution to this? Is it a bug with EMUI 5.0?
2. Somewhat of a related problem, when I'm at my lock screen, I can never see ANY notification, the only thing I see is the time and my step counter, this is a very serious problem, I should be able to have a glimpse of my notifications at my lockscreen.
3. Finally there has been some times when I notice that my phone is loading slowly internet sites, and then I realize that the 4G option at the quick menu from the pull down notification bar has been turned off, this has happened several times, I thought it was because it could not find a LTE signal so it turned itself off, but when turning it back on it automatically goes into 4G/LTE. What's going on? Why does it turn itself off automatically?
I really need to know if this is an EMUI thing or something I can change or fix,
Thanks in advance guys.
Did you notice any problems before installing apps? First thing I'd try is turn off the step counter and any other running apps and see what happens.
The Mate 9 has some very intense power saving and you may have to play with some settings.
Some notifications dont seem to show on the lock screen. The built in email app is one of them. It makes a noise and the led pulses but the screen doesnt come on, theres no popup on the lock screen and the notification bar doesnt have any icons or anything to tell me anything. Gmail, messages and a few other work fine.
I have already disabled the power saving app closer thing, so it's not that, I will try to disable the steps counter, but I have a doubt, do I have to enable the "power on display when a notification arrives" setting so my notifications show in the lock screen?

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------
Ok I think Ive got it. Go to settings, notification and status bar, notifications management, select the apps you want to wake the screen and show a popup notification. Click "display on lock screen". That should do it. I dont know what "banners" means but I selected it.
Ok I guess banners means the message shows on the top of the screen if the device is on.
Could it be maybe a problem with the current theme? Not even Whatsapp notifications appear on the lock screen.

It seems those settings solved the problem, but not completely, sometimes the notifications appear and sometimes they do not :/
Is it possible to respond to notifications when the screen is locked?
To get notifications systematically on the locked screen of the Huawei Mate 9 (or P9), you may only choose the "Magazine Unlock" wallpaper. Then all notifications as long as you've granted them permission and the app is full compatible with Android 7.0 will appear. I have a few apps for which no notifications appear either on lock screen or sound, though they do on my P9. I believe this is due to a necessary Android 7.0 update for the apps.
Are there settings for the following features?
1. To turn off the message on the home screen that says "swipe up or down to show apps".
2. Turn off the Wallpaper for the Always On display?

The swipe message disappears after you use the gesture to both open and close the app drawer.
As far as I can tell, that wallpaper is unchangable.
I already post this in another thread...
The blue text on the lock screen.
You have to double tap on it then tap the next button in the bottom right.
Keep pressing next until it turns into ok.
Once done it wont come back on.
And you can go into the aod settings and change the background and style of the lock screen.
You can definitely change the wallpaper for AOD, in the themes section. I've seen a select few other wallpapers for it, keep in mind the theme store has more paid ones than free.

I have opened and closed the app drawer over and over with this gesture and yet every single time i unlock my phone, i get this message. Are we sure thats the solution? I've even restarted my device and did a restore on it as well and i still get this message. It is absolutely mind boggling that there is no way to actually disable tooltips like this one.
EDIT: Ask and ye shall receive! So, no sooner than i posted this did i look and my phone was downloading an update. After the update this annoying message is GONE! Whats funny is the first thing i did after getting home with the new device this morning was to check for software updates and there wasnt one.
Ok so I did a quick search and didn't see anything but I'm working so I didn't try too many variations.
Anyways, when I open a folder that I have in my edge panel, it automatically opens the keyboard every single time. It is probably the most irritating issue I have and I logically see no reason for it. The problem becomes more irritating when you have more than 6 items in a folder. The keyboard covers most of the bottom row of icons so you have to close it before selecting what you want. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Is there a way to disable it?
I don't personally use the apps edge panel but I added it to test this and I do not get the keyboard popup on either the Samsung keyboard or Google keyboard.
Alright, I've figured it out. Apparently it's a bug caused by changing the dpi which makes no sense but I'll roll with it. My dpi was set to 480 and when I put it back to default of 411 it doesn't do it.
Can't u just move the bar to edge panel up to top of the phone? I made mine smaller and moved to top, no issues.

The issue isnt the location of the edge panel. I can swipe the edge panel out fine and everything is just peachy. However, when i tap a folder on the edge panel, the folder opens but for some reason so does the keyboard. So, when a folder contains more than 6 items, the bottom row is covered by the keyboard. That means you cant click on that row, and the keyboard doesnt close without tapping the back button. Basically its a nuisance thats not worth the trouble. I prefer everything small but will have to live with it. Im going to try other DPI settings and see what the max is before this bug presents itself.
