text selection drag indicators behind keyboard

This issue is driving me insane and I can't figure out how to fix it ....
I am using Gboard right now because I can't stand Sammy's default keyboard .... Plus I like the integration of translate etc ...
Anyways the problem that I am having is with the drag indicators for the text selection being behind the keyboard at the very bottom ... this is also the issue when trying to select text for spelling correction.
I switched back to the Sammy keyboard to verify the same issue .... No joy ....
It makes selecting text extremely hard to deal with ....
See the attached screenshot .....
Any fix for this .... ?

Very strange. I just tested on mine because I love Gboard, and mine doesn't do that. On my screen, the little indicators float to the front layer and actually enlarge and shrink when I grab them. Do you have the latest version of Gboard?

Does this happen in all apps? Which apps where you using in the screenshots?

Mine does this. Can't stand it.

Yes I am running the newest version of gboard so I don't think that is the issue I have also tried to disable gboard the behavior is the same using the default Samsung keyboard .....
The behavior is encountered using WhatsApp and the default text message client pre-installed with the default Samsung TouchWiz.
Also just tried typing a message with telegram and the results are the same.......
However while using the xda app for posting this message the issue does not seem to exist see the attached screenshot.

I just fixed the issue ......
As I suspected it was a screen overlay issue ...
The app causing the problem was navbar ....
Uninstalled the app and the problem went away.
That really sucks because I like the idea of being able to choose my own colors and all the extra features that was included with navbar....
I guess it's back to the default software button colors until navbar development can fix the issue ....

Good find thanks for the update.

Wireless display for lg q6

In many phones there is a option for wireless display but i dint find any option in lg q6 it is there or not

Unfortunately, this doesn't has the wireless display feature buddy!
I just got my Q6 yesterday and was shocked to not find a lot of basic functions like screen capture, screen mirroring and many more. I think the display is the only best part in this phone. The face unlock doesn't works all the time, especially without proper light. I hope they will add the wireless display feature in the Oreo update. Lets hope for the best!

Thank for your replay bro
Thanks for your replay bro is there any option to make a rrquest to the lg regarding this issue so that they may update it further

Screen capture => volume down + power buittons

Not sure of how to request them. But you can contact them in Facebook regarding this. I hope the Oreo update will give us wireless display feature!

and all the while i thought that screen capture and screen shot may be used interchangeably.

No man! They are 2 different things. :laugh:

^in that case, what's the difference?

Screen mirror is like showing your phone screen on widi support TV or monitors

Lots of apps in the Play Store for this.

"...shocked to not find a lot of basic functions like screen capture, screen mirroring and many more. "
1st of all screen SHOT and screen CAPTURE are the same thing.
2nd of all I have the q6 and it HAS a screen capture setting in the short key as mentioned above and an option to set it in your top-of-page dropdown menu.

Only if you want to be correct. Otherwise, they are different, sure why not?
Usually I wouldn't reply to an 18 month old post but it seemed like weezybaby, or whatever their handle is, was being rather smug. So I thought I'd point out the weebabyz error as well.

[HOWTO] Enable notification badges in Poco launcher

Open system settings. Type 'notification access' in searchbar, open it and enable Poco launcher.

I'm missing the count number over the icons.

I'm missing my battery percentage and the ability to change fonts. Otherwise no real problems with this phone yet...
Mind you, it's been less than 24 hours since I got it but been playing with it for a solid 8 hours...

Search for zikko in themes store and you'll solve the issue with battery percentage. You can even use just the status bar from that theme if you don't like the entire theme.

Thank you so much. This even added more toggles in the expanded status bar. Now I've 14+sort instead of just 11+sort.
By the way is there an option to change sound profile (sound/vibrate/silent) with the same button like with other android phones. The only way I can have VIBRATE ONLY is if I enable both the silent and vibrate toggle. Kinda stupid and annoying.

Yeah, I thought it was broken when i first saw it without number )))) Now, i'm used to it .... Although it feels empty, my OCD says it needs at least a black dot in it, if not number.

Since then I've updated to the MIUI 10 beta rom, it has % inside the battery logo, but there are some themes available to fix that so battery % is bigger and displayed beside/ instead of the battery icon...
Like this phone, Quick and not too bad. The theme I use has a black background that hides the notch well but displays the few icons we have there...
Hope you're enjoying your experience as some have had hardware issues that I haven't experienced.

[App][4.2+] Widget Screensaver

Turn any widget into a screensaver!
Android has a native screen saver option (yes, I also forgot about that) that was called Daydream before Daydream VR was a thing and is now just called "Screen Saver".
I was surprised not a single screen saver app allowed you to put a widget inside the screen saver, so I quickly whipped up this app to do exactly that.
Now you can reuse that old tablet or phone (with Android 4.2+) as a night stand with your favorite widget for instance!
You can also show your calendar, the latest news, the location of your friends (see my Magical Location Clock app!), or use one of those apps where you can completely design a widget yourself.
The ecosystem is the limit!
The app has burn-in protection, support for multiple widgets, profiles and Tasker support for switching profiles, along with several other settings.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Frequently asked questions:
Widget Screensaver doesn't work?
Please explain what's not working so I can fix it. If any crashes occur, submit them so I can see them and if not, please tell me what does work and what steps you've taken until the problem occurs.
Widget Screensaver doesn't work for this widget?
Please tell me which widget suffers from the problem (with screenshots and link) so I can try and fix it.
Widget Screensaver doesn't work on my Huawei/Honor device running EMUI? I only see default screensavers!
Unfortunately this is due to Huawei blocking third party screensavers. Check this post from XDA for a workaround: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ver-on-huawei-and-honor-devices-running-emui/
The command to use is "adb shell settings put secure screensaver_components nl.jolanrensen.widgetscreensaver/.WidgetScreensaverService"
Can Widget Screensaver be used as always on display or when not charging?
While things like detecting when the screen is covered don't work, it is possible to start the screensaver anytime the screen turns off using Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm). Check out this profile I made: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=...&id=Profile:Start+Screensaver+When+Screen+Off
For more help you can visit the XDA thread or email me at [email protected]
I'll try to respond as quickly as possible, but it's just me, a student with a hobby, so forgive me if I cannot always respond immediately.
You can download the app from XDA labs at https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/nl.jolanrensen.widgetscreensaver or at the Google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.jolanrensen.widgetscreensaver

Thanks for the feedback! I agree it's a bit distracting to look at currently, I'll see what I can do
On another note I see some crashes can still happen, so I've gotta fix those too

This can be way more cool if there somehow mod to enable screensaver any time, like always on display, not only on charger or stand wall.

What you can do perhaps is use Tasker and an app like Daydream launcher to start the screensaver even when you're not charging.

Is this useable only when charged? And if not, is it not battery consuming?

The native android screen saver feature is only running while charging or docked. So yes, this is only running while charging.

Great project!!
One feature to consider is an option to disable the click-action(s) of the widget itself.
For a music-widget it is great, that I can pause/resume while staying in screen saver (! unintended gem !)
But for a calendar/agenda-widget, I might not want my agenda to open.
Again great project, coffee on its way to you or a Grolsch

Don't worry, the touch on the widget was intended haha, I'm making a widget currently that animates upon touch so I needed it. But I like the idea being able to turn it off, so it's going in my to-do list
And thank you very much

I think you figured out the answer!
---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------
This tool is totally incompatible with KWGT. I think the issue is that you need to click the widget to configure it and clicking on widgets with the screensaver active is making it impossible to interact with whatever pops up.
I think the screen saver needs to be turned off before sending the click to the widget. If this isn't default behavior, it should at least be an option (and maybe auto selected based on the app name of the widget).
A faster animation mode would be nice too ... have the widget slowly sliding over the screen

Are you considering adding the ability to show more than 1 widget? There are some small widgets that I would like to use at the same time because they work well together and they don't take up the whole screen so burn-in protection can still work
---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Also I have a quick suggestion, widget's horizontal and vertical sizes should have separate sliders for different screen orientations. Widget size is messed up with some widgets such as spotify's when you rotate the screen

I'll get back to your suggestions tomorrow, but first I'd like to share something for people that have been asking for a way to use the screensaver as an always on display.
This was actually very easy to do with Tasker, so if you have Tasker, enjoy: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=...&id=Profile:Start+Screensaver+When+Screen+Off
Yes, this also makes the screensaver start if you're not docked or charging

Yes unfortunately... EMUI removed the functionality... However, Android is Android so XDA has a solution https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ver-on-huawei-and-honor-devices-running-emui/

Thanks for the tip! I'm working on compatibility with some widgets. Some don't resize properly and some, like you said, require touch to be set up. I'm thinking about maybe a set-up screen where you can resize the widget and preview how large it'll get. This will also allow touch set-ups then. However this probably will take some time as I have numerous bugs to fix and it's just me haha.

I am considering it, especially now more people ask for it. What would you think about splitting the screen in two and having the widgets move around in their halves? I think more than two widgets would definitely get tricky, especially on smaller displays...
Suggestion noted! I agree it shouldn't be like this

Cool Idea and Well Build App

This app can keep multiple widgets at screensaver since 2015.

Official Android P Rom discussion

Hello all,
So I believe most of us should have the Android P update by now. I'm intrigued as to what you all think.
Sadly, the update has downgraded the experience of a great phone. Here are the issues which popped up for me after the update:
- Very slow fingerprint recognition and unlock
- Android crashes when you turn off wifi
- A noticeable drop in performance speed all round (animations are slow or clunky, apps are slow to open or to load)
- No digital wellbeing app which is a major part of Android P
- Unable to install Pixel Launcher 9
We spend quite a large amount of our time using our phones and ever since the update, the whole experience has taken a hit and now, and it's very noticeable. I'm desperate to get off this phone now, which is sad because, before the update, The phone ran beautifully without any dramas.
What do you guys think?

Have you done factory reset? I don't have any of the problems you say.
Digital Wellbeing is installed. Do the search in settings and then you can add it to the rest of the applications (there is a switch to do it).
The only problem I find is that the adaptive battery is not in place. I have to look for it in the settings. In the videos I saw of the taiwan rom it seemed that it was in settings -> battery, but in the European one it didn't. Not a big deal, but there it is.
I can't tell you anything about the pixel launcher because I use default HTC Sense.

No I haven't. I don't have the time to reset and and restore everything. An update should just work and not require a factory reset.
I managed to get Digital Wellbeing working but it needed some effort. The version from the Play Store wouldn't let me download it because, apparently, it is incompatible with the phone. Weird.
Anyway, so I had to download the APK, install, download Activity Launcher, install, then use Activity Launcher to show the Digital Wellbeing app in the app list and also allow it usage permissions. Then I was able to use the app.
Another issue which popped up after the update I forgot to mention above was that the navigation bar at the bottom has reduced in size, which is good, but unfortunately it still behaves as if it was the same size as before, so when you're typing and you press the space bar, it sometimes thinks you've pressed the home button and takes you home. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING.
One other thing which I've realised is that you're unable to use the new Android P navigation bar because HTC have their own version of the navigation bar (which is dated now) and this cannot be overridden. Another annoyance.

Sounds like you should just sell your u11+ and go buy an iphone.

Ha! Extremely sound logic. I bring up issues a recent update has introduced and your suggestion is I sell my phone and move to a far inferior platform. You really are a shining beacon of brilliant intelligence. Bravo to you, good sir.

Hi guys,
Anyone experience WiFi connection with hidden SSID? My newly update U11+ unable to connect to hidden SSID, but it is okay with broadcast SSID.
Please help. Thanks.
update:
Sorry guys, my stupidity didn't check the setting properly at the bottom of the there is setting the mentioned if it is hidden. checked the box , viola it is working now. Thanks.

although I was a little annoyed with some of the changes at the start, such as clock now on left in status bar (the rest I forget tbh), overall I love it.
same speed as always across the board; apps, animations etc. with plenty of apps/files loaded.
1 thing that's really stood out for me has been the (learning) adaptive brightness. it's just awesome!
and so are the colours. screen looks so much better since pie, very impressed.

I think it is a good idea to factory reset when there is a big version change. For small versions it is enough to clear the cache.
Regarding digital well-being, I have been able to update it directly from the play store.
I see the navigation bar well. It doesn't frustrate me. I think it works correctly. And Android P gesture navigation would like to have it as an option but I'm sure I would change it back to the traditional method, so I don't worry too much.

I was just poking fun at how unhappy you seem to be with things not working.
Post-update issues are pretty common, and though annoying, nothing to get too worked up about.
Just wipe and move on, it's not so bad.
This is a forum of tinkerers, after all.

Totally happy,sorry.Plus i've been able to use Quick step module(oneplus recents).I love the UI and i haven't noticed any issues whatsoever.Sound mods also working as they should.I like it better now

Haven't met all the issues you're describing! My U11+ is working fine with Pie, just as it was with Oreo!

Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?

About The same.Slightly better.Adaptive brightness working better in pie,giving a little bit of juice.Overall i like it more now.Plus,with Quickstep recents it's awesome

i am finding this pie update very good...the phone ui looks more fresh now, the auto brightness works perfectly and i noticed a huge improvement in battery life...and i can finally use last gcam version for incredible shot!
