Do Not press the button. Just touch it like using the fingerprint id and hold. it will click.

Not pressing it but touch it for like 2 seconds and it will take the picture
Should be working

That's what I'm doing. It worked on both of my devices before EMUI 5, but not now. Do you have the US version too?

Can you provide a screen shot of your camera settings? Maybe I have something selected that is overriding the feature.

Sorry for the other pic. Unable to delete it for some reason. Attached by mistake

Wow, you will never guess what setting caused the problem!
I had my volume button action set to zoom. When I switched it to trigger the shutter, suddenly the fingerprint trigger started working again! This makes no sense.
EDIT:
Strange... It only worked twice and now I can't get it to work again! What is going on?!

Issues with Google maps

Morning all,
Anyone else having issues with Google Maps on their Honor I seem to be able to move the map zoom in and out but can't type in the search box or click any of the menu buttons, tried uninstalling and reinstalling works maybe once of twice and then the same. Wasn't sure if it's an Emui issue or not as far as I know I'm on the latest version. Cheers

GMaps probs Honor 6X
Me too. I have problems with Google Maps on my Huawei Honor 6X even after installing or uninstalling reinstalling updates. It freezes and I can't click menu buttons. Only zooming in and ouy works. Perhaps we have disabled a phone feature which messes up Google Maps function.

No fingerprint gesture?!

Oneplus 6 got rid of the swipe down for notifications gesture. Is there any way we can get it back? Maybe like the flashable zip the 5t had in omnirom? This may seem like such a small thing but it's huge for me. With this gesture I dont have to reach up to get my notifications down and thats a lot less of a chance for having the phone drop and break on me. Especially because it's all glass now.

Well, the phone hasn't practically even released at this time, so it will take a bit of time to know.
I think the reason why there are no fingerprint gestures is because of the reduction in the size of the fingerprint sensor.

Ahh, thanks for giving it a try and letting me know before I get my hands on the device. Hopefully the developer updates the app to make it compatible with the 6! (if possible)
Quite upset about the removal of this feature as well. It was really useful. I'll be looking out for it / monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a solution. Wish OnePlus would simply add it back.
Workaroud
I followed this guide and it seems to be the only app that works with my OP6
android.gadgethacks.com/how...e-notification-gesture-other-devices-0174514/
just add https before it as i can't post links yet
would be amazing to get swipe gestures, especially while reading ebooks or articles, its so convenient scrolling and reading with one hand and a coffee in the other

That's not swipe either. I think the hardware doesn't support it

It does work if you download the app from the guide and enable foreground activity.
I've been using it for the past 24 hours with no issues (just the annoying android notification that there is an app running in the background which I hid so now all good)

I find this works well when you set it up for tap to toggle notification tray and enable foreground services under the non-exposed settings.
Any more updates on this? It's quite annoying they've not included that feature

fingerprint gestures

Hi there. I´m new to the Mi Mix 3, overall it´s a great phone but I really miss the fingerprint gestures like i had on my Pixel 2 (swipe down to open the notifications). I tried several apps, but non of these semms to be working. I´m on the EU 8.12.27 beta ROM with root. Is there any app that is working with this phone or is there any setting that can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Finger print quickaction is the closest I can get but need to double tap sensor. Swipe or single touch won't work.

I already tried that. But it doesn´t feel very handy to me. When you accidently touch the sensor than the action is executed. And the swipe doesn´t work very well. A bit of hit and miss imo.

Plus Beat alternative

I came from one plus 6T and I think that best way to deal with no LED notifications was app called Plus Beat. It activate stock ambient display according to predefined time interval. Sadly it's no working on 7 Pro anymore. Anyone is aware of good alternative for that kind of app?
Hello
I also come from the 6T and I have installed it in my 7 Pro.
I think it worked better in the 6T, but I do not notice that goes wrong in the 7 Pro.
The only thing that ever worked for me is the option of DND profiles. When I set it up and activate it, I get into the app and the Option Enable Plus Beat It's off.
Anyone know how to fix it?
There's another app. It's called "Always on Edge". Works fine for me.

Tried Pixel Pulse today and doesn't seem to work either. Notifications come in, however they do not reappear again(pulse). Tried Always on Edge and Pulse Beat neither of them pulse, which is weird because Beat Pulse worked perfect for a day. Battery optimization was off for these apps.

It's really strange, some reports pixel puls working other they it's not working.. So far pixel pulse working flawlessly for me. It repeat pulse until notification it's dismissed. I try some edge but didn't like it. I prefer apps that use native ambient display rather than screen overlay..like aos edge or any led screen app

This may be a very dumb question but is there a way to dismiss notifications from the actual notification screen (I believe this is the ambient screen)?
The only way I've been able to dismiss notifications is to go into the lock screen and swipe away the notification.

You have to select night sight and the phone can not move at all. You can't hold it. Set it to night sight and then put it on a table, you should see it say something on the top of the screen

Yeah, the only way to use it is the phone has to be perfectly still. You need to use a sold surface so the phone does not move at all

Uninstall it, clear data and cache, update the latest play service , then reinstall, you will be good to go.
Pixel 3 XL, not sure if thats really the milkway or just an anomaly, I believe the second, because I have a little light that might affected the photo.
