I to have this issue

This happens because the antenna is under the back key

I finally made the Switch from Huawei P8 Max to this phone and I am loving every second if it. As for the question/issue,I have this issue but I I think this is more a feature than an issue as it appears to be a data synchronisation indicatior like the hard drive blinking light on laptops/desktop. At least this is my observation and I hope it is not something else as it only happens on my phone whilst data is being downloaded/apps installed on 3g/4g speeds.

It's an issue. Try to put your finger on the antenna under back button while you are using 4g connection and the key will stop blinking

Good quality assurance team must be sitting at Asus Factory. Never saw such a thing in any phone as a feature so its definitely an issue

I really loved this phone before I discovered this issue, and I discovered bad sound quality through wired or Bluetooth headset

Himmm! I now see your point. It appears to be an issue but it does not bother me given the benefits of this phone compared to my previously owned Huawei P8 Max. I hope that with Android 7 update all these and any other issues will be ironed out. On the bright side this issue/blinking light is a data activity light so you know that data is being processed rather than waiting for other indicators etc....

Nice One! Agree. Someone's BUG is someone else's FEATURE. Compared to my previously owned Huawei P8 Max, this device is on a different level and when Root and Bootloader Unlock becomes available, this phone will be even more valuable so can't and will not complain.

I got the same issue. Back button flashing. Usually when browsing chrome (loading page). So is this hardware issue? Quite annoying actually I want the light to go off forever permanently. Possible?

[Q] is anyone getting bug report notifications?

i've been getting bug reports about once per day. i haven't sent them in or tried to see what's inside yet- it's been pretty busy lately.
i'm unlocked, rooted, and have developer options enabled.

Yes, I saw that too - only unlocked bootloader, haven't root or install custom recovery yet - developer option enabled. And, I only installed 2 dozen or so apps from the Store. Using a T-mo p/p micro-Sim with PAYG so it's running on WiFi for data, Talkatone & Google Voice setup to make a few calls - while seeing the battery life improved with some minor tweaks. The only crashes or freezes were from Boat Browser & Dolphin Browser so it might be related to Flash player ?
With an extended weekend coming up, I will drill it down to see what's up.
The bug reports come from the shell.apk, anyone knows how to disable them? I get about 3 per day.

Anyone have more info on this? I'm getting them and the report suggests its from Hangouts. I have a suspicion it's from group SMS threads.
I get this randomly too. Sometimes never in a day and other times a few times a day. Since this morning, I have gotten 3 of them. Anyone find a way to stop it yet?

I am stock/rooted and I get them as well. Sometimes several a day. Don't really know what's causing them but they don't seem to be indicative of any sort of major problem that I can detect so I am just assuming it's a weird KitKat glitch.

I just remembered that I had the same issue with my nexus 7 before 4.3 came but then it just stopped so it's just just a kitkat thing.
I got a few bug notifications the first week out. But haven't seen one in the past few days.

I'm pretty sure these are generated by holding down the power button + volume down + volume up. A snug case could inadvertently be pushing the buttons and causing a report to be made. I've had a few of these bug reports myself and I've found it to be true. Perhaps you're accidentally pushing the buttons, or a case is?

I just tried it and got a bug report. So that could be it. I have a neo hybrid case in my belt holster so it's possible.

I probably fat finger my phone at least twice a week and see one of these. My question is this; do these things take up storage space on the
phone? If so, where can I find them so I can delete them?
My problem is that I can't take bug report no matter what I do

Vivo Xplay 3s

until we get this phone setup with a proper thread on xda, post your tips and general questions here.
i have the phone so if you want anything tested let me know.
Great stuff let's hope Rayglobe comes aboard

yeah lets hope for that.
that vivo root app doesnt work for me. it begins then i get google services crash which leads to a reboot, only for the app to finish with an X id imagine meaning unsuccessful .
edit:
turned it off charge, and it worked.
even with English some menus etc are still in Chinese . liaow are rolling the phone out now with an international rom so wonder if thats what we have which i doubt.
How are you guys liking the phone? Except for the fact that some of the sub menus still are in Chinese. I noticed a beta version of Fun Touch Rom 1.17.11 is up, can't read the changelog though as it's in Chinese!
I've gotten Photo+ to work, even printed out the picture to see if it worked and it did. Tried to get the navigation to work. In one of their Vivo videos, three students use the AR Navi in Finland, so I was hoping this could be used in Europe, and it probably still can only again all the submenus are in chinese. There are downloadble maps, but as far as I can tell only Chinese cities.
By the way I am Mars from Denmark on the Liaow page
I find that text on screen seems to break up words as it hits the edge of the screen instead of moving the entire word to a new line. Same when reading online text or in apps etc. No sub menu to change text size to fix this. Anyone know what the button under the finger print scanner is ?

there is no button under the finger print scanner and I have the same problem with the words breaking up at the edge of the screen and its really frustrating and also I am having a problem locating my self using google map app do you guys know how to fix it and thanks.
Settings>Mix-Match>Font.... There you can change font size but still the same, breaking up words.
Sent from my vivo Xplay3S using Tapatalk
Found that in mix match. I'd imagine its to do with the translation from Chinese. We need an international ROM. Even the manuals in the phone are Chinese which is useless The button on the back is to take pictures with on the camera. I'll have a look at my maps see if I can sort it.

OK installed Google maps and turned on GPS data and WiFi. It did nothing. Searched my network again and picked the one I'm on then it seemed to work. Not sure if it knew were I lived based on my Google now location, but when I searched a route it asked me to start from my location. Seems to be working from that end. The maps won't find my location though when clicking the location button. So maybe there's a problem there with gps

It takes almost 10 to 20 minutes first time to get satellites, after that 2 or 3 mins and ready to go, let it on gmaps until gps starts working

Why want a sub-forum on XDA when there's a whole forum dedicated to international Vivo users? I assume the chances are low that a Xplay 3S sub-forum will ever be added to XDA...
I just registered for that forum, not too many people there yet though.
As for the GPS issue, yes it does take 20 mins for the first fix, then 1-2min for the second time you try. After that it Works perfectly.
The fingerprint scanner is a button as well. With air wake gestures enabled and blackscreen you can activate the phone by pressing the fingerprint button and Draw a V or M to activate the function of the choice.

Yeah, sure. The community still needs to grow and there're not many Vivo users outside of China. But hey, we need to start somewhere!
Hi to all Proud owners of "VIVO Xplay 3S", can anyone please advise how is the DTS-X sound quality?
Also do you get any preloaded 2k content on the phone?
How is the sound quality when playing music via stock headphones?
And last but not least do you know if this device support Wi-fi "AC" Standard or support for wi-fi "N" both 2.4 and 5 Ghz?
Any recommended site to order this Device ? As I live in Ireland.
Many Thanks
Hi mate from Ireland myself most of us if not all bought it from liaow . HiFi sound when enabled is amazing. It only works on vivos own apps video music etc. There was 2 or 3 vids preloaded for samples basically the ads floating around the web. Crystal clear. Not sure about the WiFi but it works good. I find the network signal isn't as good as my last phone. 4g works well. The translated text from Chinese to English is a bit messy . ie : words broken at edge of the screen . small glitches until the international ROM is released . overall I'm happy.

Build quality is excellent too, in fact I'm looking at getting the ZTE Nubia X6 from Liaow as well

[Q] Sensitivity, tap instead of swipe

Hi guys, i really like the phone but I have one major problem with it. Sometimes the screen randomly thinks my finger is tapping instead of swiping.. So when scrolling through a list, it doesn't scroll through the list, but rather taps the links. I compared it with my M8 and its definitely a huge difference

Just to sum up, the customer support in OnePlus is nearly non-existend.
I have seen the reports that someone with RMA ticket number 98 (can you imagine, just in first hundred) does not have any reply from them already 3 weeks.
God im seriously thinking about keeping my M8...
I am also experiencing the tap instead of swipe bug. Its a bit annoying. I love the potential of this phone and hope that Cyanogen will get all the kinks fixed. Maybe that's one of the real reasons for the official release not taking place.

Are you by any chance having the issue when not holding the phone in your hand? There seems to be some sort of grounding problem(?) when the phone is on e.g. a pillow which did not exist before the update pushed in the beginning of july. Apparantely CM is working on fixing it again.

I really hope they do rectify these issues. Cause I'm kind of regretting selling my Nexus 5. I mean this hardware is superb and I love the feel of the sandstone back. The software is just not ready for the masses.

I am looking at the forums. And: for me, the support responded to my questions within 24h in 3 of 4 cases. That's my personal experience.
I think you should try it. If this does not work: give your request an update. Or two. Or three. And then, if all that doesn't work, either: make pressure on the public forums. THEN you can/should be upset.

Yes it's common, i have this issue as well. I think it happens when the phone stutters/lag, the swipe turns to a tap. My solution is to flash fast, lag-free ROMs, reducing the incidents. You should try jgcaap Lag-free CM13 ROM and see if it gets better, it worked for me.
Thank you very much for your advice, I'm testing this rom, and doing very well not have lag or loses touch for now.

Galaxy S7 Touchscreen Problem

Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!
There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.
Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

Thanks for the link I think it's solved now. Still not as good as the XZ1 scanner but I found that my thumb was slightly angled under normal circumstances so I added more prints and so far so good
Sent from my Sony J8210 using XDA Labs
As far as I can tell you have two unlock states. You can't use the power button to wake and then use the fingerprint sensor to unlock you can only use the fingerprint sensor to wake and unlock.
If you use the power button to wake then you have to use the pin method to unlock. This is what I've found.
I've found it's usually if the sensor gets dirty, which seems to be quite a lot. a quick clean usually gets it working straight away

Clear your hand and the sensors place on the phone. I have no problems with it.
The latest android 11 update appears to turn fingerprint registration and usage into a better experience....
I've had problems with previous updates either lost functionality all together or sporadic usage.
Its nore more accurate than I ever remember.
Having lived with this for almost 2 years it looks like a combo of hardware and software. IE the software driver doesn't work fast enough to recognise the fingerprint and will occasionally miss a beat. I re-program after updating firmware updates and depending on how big the update is/ Security based and find I have to wipe fingerprints and PIN/Password too, for the fingerprint sensor to be re-discovered and then use the pre-setup program app which I have to use slowly 2 seconds between detections otherwise the app fails to detect the sensor and stops working again so I have to reboot the phone to re-detect and start programming the next fingerprint.
This handset has a bad fingerprint driver/app for the latest Android me thinks.
