Smart cover doesn't work on lollipop - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a flip cover that doesn't work with my mate7 lt10, when I lock it I have only the default wallpaper (magazine) with the digital clock, I can only answer or reject incoming calls.
My phone is running under the b331.
Can someone help me out please

If it looks like my attached screenshot then that's just how it looks

This is something that really bugs me as well.
Huawei has gone through the trouble of implementing the smart cover feature, but it has literally two (from what I can tell) features: Answering calls and controlling music, as long as said music is coming from the stock music player.
I would love to see my notifications on the smart panel, have some toggles on there and maybe even a calendar or something. But no, Huawei disappoints once again.

Yeah, I know what you mean bud, I'm equally disappointed in it. Maybe if this post gets enough attention from people requesting same then we could send it to Huawei as a features request.
Although, me being one of the few people that haven't jumped into the MM beta, I'm not sure if it might be something they're already bringing forward to the new OS?

I highly doubt it. Huawei is notorious for not really giving a damn and just going forward. Plus, if we were to request it and they actually agreed on adding new features it would certainly delay the release of the official MM update even more.
I've just abandoned my "smart cover" altogether and just go about with the phone in its naked state.:good:

Thank you, cause i discoverd that i can also use the flip cover for music
does anyone try the smart cover on kitkat or marshmalow? and does it worked for you?

it has only clock and music player. music player is active all the time though unlike on lollipop. there is no background, just silver color with circular clock in it. the circle's border fills as the time passess. this is how it looks.

Thanks for these informations, so Huawei have a lot of work to do

I agree. And for me it works better on lollipop than on marshmallow. If wallpaper is more beautiful on MM, with MM I can't answer a call when smart cover is closed.
Does anyone have the same issue and a way to fix it ?

[APP][2.2+] Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster

When your phone is in your pocket, full volume notifications are necessary if you don't want to miss a message. But when you already have your phone out and unlocked, there's no need for them to be loud and annoying, especially if you're already using the app they originate from (e.g. message apps).
Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster lets you set custom notification volume levels for when your phone is asleep and when it's awake.
This is my first app, so I apologize for any issues it may have, but I hope people will find it useful. Either way, it's been nice to have just for myself!
Nice idea, but ram hungry!

Aw, is it really? Bummer. For me it was on par with my other background-type helper apps I use regularly. What device/version have you tried it on?
Very useful app. Thank you!
Does this effect battery life at all? This is a great idea for an application. I hate when I almost crap my pants from a notification being too loud! I hope this app does well and has many more updates in the future.

I have an HTC Evo Design 4G which has atrocious battery life (carry around a spare in my wallet) and haven't noticed any decrease. I regularly check the battery use because I have to watch for things eating it up and it hasn't shown up yet!

Great and very usefull app Thanks for sharing
I've got a problem, when someone calls me, and my phone isn't in my pocket, but I'm not using it either, the screen turns on, so the phone goes vibrate mode, I don't know if can be fixed. Great app btw.

Damn! I never actually use my phone as a phone so that never crossed my mind. I'll look into it changing it, but right now the app simply works on whether the screen is lit up or not. Thanks for the heads up!

S-view kind of functionality

So, I bought one of those windowed flip covers, the OnePlus One definitely has the "lock-unlock" functionality when you use a flip cover with a magnet, but I noticed there is no "window view" functionality in CM11 (I am currently running CM11 nightlies).
Is there a way or some kind of mod I can use to enable or mimic the window view thing, something were after pressing the lock button it will display the time and/or notifications?
Thanks.
Haven't seen anything like that for this device, and it might not be likely due to the irregular availability of OnePlus accessories.

Where can we propose for development? This is something that I had with my LG G2 and now that my son has it, I am jealous. HELP!!! If anyone out there has had the chance to play around with it, I am sure that they will attest to it.
I am sure that there are enough people out there with the dimensions of the windows in these cases, so that they can be coded properly.

No one really proposes development. They don't take kindly to requests from the users. If you add a bounty and have other people propose the same then someone may will be willing to tackle to it but it'd be limited to that particular ROM.

The one+ does not have an amoled screen and cannot power on just a portion of the screen. That is why we probably won't see s-view anytime soon.

I have to heard this before, however the LG G2 as far as I know, does not have an AMOLED screen, however they still seem to have a way to pull it off. I'm not well versed enough to understand the "why" of it however there must be more there must be another solution, unless LG is using a similar panel as to that of Samsung's AMOLED panel.
Unless you can convince Spigen to make a Slim Armor case for the OnePlus One.

I have no idea what the Spigen case has to do with this. There are many other cases out there with a window or windows integrated. Nillkin is a respected case maker with a windowed case available, even though,from what I heard, it has not been up to par. I purchased a dual window that case that is of very nice quality and I am pretty certain that once the word gets out that there are Roms out there with this integrated functionality there will be many more case makers interested.
Cheers.

Wow!!! I had not seen that case. It seems very nicely built, is definitely something that would be of a great addition to the opo's case lineup. I'm not sure however if we need a third party such as a case builder to design the application. I think we would be better served and would get a greater result, if it were one of our recognized developers who were to take on the task, seeing as our developers have an advanced knowledgeof Android and clockworkmod.

Two OS features are missing in S6!!

I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!
Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.

it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:
Don't think it's the Os it's the phone model ID and product ID , if it's that important change it to a us variant, might not boot though

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

I have GS6 Edge Middle East edition
I have the same problem as yours no call alerts option
I really miss the vibrating feature after answering
I have the European S6 Edge - no call alert settings as well. I would like to remove the call connect tone and enable vibrate on answer. Hope Samsung will add this with the next updates.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

So I came back here to tell you about it. I'm T-Mobile US, so I already have that feature OTB. Weird some don't have that simple feature. Odd. But you're welcome, and good luck!

Battery life is on point considering it's a 3200mah cell, I have no complaints, I'm on the EU Rom which is based on the China Dev I believe or China Rom, all is working as intented.
The only little downside for me is the speaker ain't that great , but considering I have the R.O.G everything else pales by comparison.
Everything else is spot on and the camera is decent to, the price point is on point .....so again without a doubt I would recommend the Mi Mix 3.....:good:

3 things which annoy me about MIUI (which Xiaomi did on purpose) ...
1. Divergence from stock Android behaviour for Notifications. i.e No Status Bar Notification Icons or Expandable Notifications on the Lock Screen. Notifications disappear from the lock screen when you unlock the phone.
2. Smart Unlock only works with Xiaomi products. Google Voice and 3rd party devices can't automatically unlock the phone. Location based unlock doesn't seem to work either.
3. Volume controls for Notifications and Ringtone are combined into a single setting.
Thanks guys, I'm on EMUI now so MIUI isn't an issue

shows us your Xperia 5 homescreens.

I'll start I guess.
Lockscreen. Home, left and right.
Redid my home and lock. Same ****.
Just new icons, and background mountain, lock wall is still likewise above, just with a background mountain so still fits.
I'll later today, remove the navigation bar all together. And going all gestures. For more seamless setup and controll. Just don't have any adb on my Macs and don't get it, as on Windows. Lol.
Edit** Added lockscreen and homewall.
It's no right, none did a setup yet, phone is on Monday a month old. ?? Come on all ?
I redo mine like at least ones a day ? can't show em all, just what I fall back to. Otherwise I'll be spamming ???

I disabled Ambient display on the Xperia 5. Seems to work much better. @ Android v9. I wonder once Android 10 is stable and fixes bugs in 10 will the new home button make things easier?

I thought that Sony's gesture actually works. But wasn't quite enough for me. And way of topic
And how better? My only real complaint was FP. And had 3 updates in 3 weaks, didn't fix, so I sold. The phone it self. Had no issue with. Besides. My year elder op6 preform better besides 21:9 :good:
Oh. Yeah. Sold to a company. For more than I gave. So no loss. I tried.
But let's hope. They'll fix stuff in @10, like systemwide dark mode :fingers-crossed:
I'ma fraid. Cellphone is not where Sony put their money.

What is that clock/weather widget, that's sharp
A new cell phone is just a bunch of radiation.
the Xperia 5 has an advantage over wider phones, but the top of the phone is too heavy and will tip over. Also, the bezel material is unlike the Xperia Z3, which was metallic and unique among Xperia flagships.
