I was messing around with Mobile Data warnings but now I want to disable this warning completely. I know I can set my data limit to some large amount but I just want to disable this setting completely. Is this possible? I can't figure it out.
couldn't find that option ended up putting 1000 gb limit to avoid any alerts, let me know if you find it

LOL! I did the same. So dumb that it cant be disabled. I read somewhere that it may be a requirement for EU since data plans are really expensive there.
Arrgh! Did the same thing by accident. Even though I set a limit, every damn day I get an alert prompting me about data usage.
I can't read Chinese so I don't know whether there is an option to disable it within the Province/City drop-down menu. :crying:
We need to find a way to disable this damn thing!

What limit did you set? I havent received an alert since I set my limit to some ridiculous number.
I think the only way to get rid of this stupid "feature" is to nuke the phone which I am tempted to do but will wait until Oreo comes out for our phones. I wont make the same mistake again!

My last phone you couldn't turn off, reboot, or change network settings while the phone is locked. This is a very useful feature as if your phone "walks away" tracking cannot be disabled so as long as your battery is not dead you have full tracking abilities.
I did notice this feature seems to work with GPS. If you try to toggle, it will prompt for a password but that alone isn't enough to track it. I need to lock mobile data as well. I could probly just remove it from my notification tray but that is an inconvenience as I do use that toggle.
Any Ideas?

Not all devices have added those as all it takes to beat them is removing the sim card and all android devices will reboot if the power button is held for an extended time.
Well I thought about the reboot and it will boot back up so I didn't see that as a problem. Didn't think about the sim card though. Well lets just hope if someone gets a hold of my phone they won't think about it either. Anything I can do to make it harder is still worth it.
Oh well. If someone has a way to make this happen please share. I don't even know if its something I can make happen with an app or by editing anything in the android system. I will keep looking in the mean time.

I can tell you that there are 3 steps when a device is stolen and the first one is remove the battery and the second is remove the sim card so no one can call it. the 3rd step is resetting it.
You will need a custom rom to get those options.
If you care about security too much, I would say never unlock your bootloader.
Its so easy to keep pressing the power button and reboot to bootloader and flash stuff to access your memory (With unlocked bootloader of course)
But with locked BL, they have to erase the storage in order to unlock it and do stuff. So, if security is a big concern to you, its good to always keep it locked.
Hi,
As we now probably all know, the Global version of this ROM lacks a lot of features : no gestures, no dark mode...
But even without those missing parts, it is still irritating...
Here are the three things that are bothering me :
- 1°) the notifications : I have 2 SIM cards inside that thing. It constantly reports that I have a new voice message. But whatever SIM card answering machine I call, tells me "You have no new message". I erase the notification. I keeps popping up again...
- 2°) the dialer : when I get a call, I have to swipe up to answer it. On every other phone, a short swipe is enough to answer the call. On this device, I have to swipe up to the top of the device for it to understand that I would like to answer the call...
- 3°) whatever I do, the default app selected for SMS messaging is not kept after a reboot. I use Textra. I select it as the default app. Each time the phone is rebooted, I have to tellit that I want to use Textra again as default mesaging app.
Do you guys have those problems also ?
Regards.
It's not a real problem or bug, but really irritating
I have some more:
I know it's nitpicking buuuuut
1. When watching YouTube vids and touching the triggers by accident, it brings up the scroll bar and does not go away untill you let go of the triggers.
2. Can't silence notifications.
3. Unreliable OTG USB file transfers (gets stuck)
4. When increasing the volume on Bluetooth devices, it only goes up by 0 or 2
5. My alarm clock never works
6. Switching between Sim Cards is super slow
7. Searching for settings is difficult
And some more things that I can't think of the top of my head.

Hi,
Hum... That can be sorted I think
1°) About your thing with the button triggers : install Button Mapper. Open it. Choose to add a new button and tap the left or right trigger button. Once created, say you don't want any action to be configured. You should be good to go
2°) You can silence notifications. But you have to do that under "Notifications" and not under "Sound"... Go figure !!!
3°) Hum... Have you tried to format your card to another format like FAT ? I don't use that feautre so I can't really tell.
4°) Yes. I think that is true. But will try to confirm later when I'll use it in my car audio.
5°) Mine works... I think.
6°) It is not unusually slow here...
7°) The way they organized the settings is just... super stupid.
Conclusion : I think I will try to install the chinese ROM and root it to see if I can use that with better results.
Hi,
Another thing is totally stupid to me : that is the fact that you cannot pin an app to stick even if Recents are cleared.
So I can have gestures enabled because the stupid people at Nubia removed that from the EU/US ROM.
But that requires access to "Accessibility" services.
As soon as I clear recents, that feature is disabled...
And as it is gestures => no more control over device !!!
SHEER STUPIDITY !!!!
All in all, I think I will return the device within the next 3 days within my right of withdrawal.
Hardware is brilliant. Softwa
I will be returning mine also. Such a shame the software sucks.

Let us know how that goes. I've seen several posts on other forums complaining that Nubia is not answering emails when it comes to returns and RMA's for the Red Magic 3. Some have started disputes with Paypal to try and get their money back.

I am returning mine as well due to these software issues, and I received the same response about DHL. They did not say they would not take it even though I had used it, they agreed that I could return it because I was within my 15 days. I would assume as long as you didn't damage it (screen cracks, water damage, etc), they should still be able to process the refund.
For me, GLS is the courier. Never heard of them.
I hope if they get so much people returning the device because of it's lousy software, they may consider improving it...
Let's wait and hope...
Anyone had their refund yet?

So today my Samsung-SM-G950U had a software update that now doesn't allow you to remove the "Mobile Data Turned Off" notification but instead lets you silence it up to 2 hours. I used to be able to simply restart the phone and it was gone until I used it again and then I would simply restart but this option has been removed. Is there any way to remove it permanently?

AT&T phone, data works, turning off intentionally. I don't have a huge data plan so I turn off the data unless needed. Used to be able to simply restart the phone and the notification that data was off would disappear, now it stays in the notification bar.

I know how to use the phone and that's where it ends LOL but appreciate your time.
Sometimes I don't get a notification of an incoming text message until several minutes after it was sent. I'm totally stock and I have disabled adaptive battery and I gave unrestricted battery usage to the messages app. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
Do u maybe have doze/aggressive doze options in any apps u have? Maybe wifi/mobile connection disabled at screen off/lock option somewhere? Anything like that in general? Provider/connectivity issues recently? Poor signal issues at all? R u rooted running stock or non-rooted? Is it just recently? Installed any 'new' appz at all? Lotsa possibilities...gotta go thru and try n tick 'em off one at a time...a bit of detective work should give u a suspect...hopefully.

As I said, the phone is totally stock. The wifi and mobile is on. I think the signal strength is fine and I don't think it is a provider issue. I don't understand what you mean about the doze option in apps. I've never heard of that - what kind of app would have those options? I think it has happened since I've had the phone, but it is hard to say since it only happens sometimes and it took me a while to notice it as a pattern. I don't get a lot of texts typically and if I get a text, I don't always notice that it has been delayed. I think that it might happen most with the first text I get in a day.
'Doze' is a low power mode that android goes into after a few hrs. with no activity or screen wakeup. But if ur not rooted then I think it requires ADB to allow perms...if u did, you'd know it...lol
If there's no 'suspect' apps installed then the next step of uninstalling 1 app at a time until there no more occurrences may not be feasible. Only other option I can think of sux...a factory reset with wipe then add ur apps one at a time etc...

Thanks. I can't think of why an app would be able to affect this problem and I don't want to go through that amount of work, so I'm going to live with it and wait and see.
I'm having this issue as well. I'm in Mexico on a Mexican sim. Texts taking a long time to come through
My phone is randomly logging battery status. Sometimes every few seconds.
The log is always the same. Battery level greater than zero, with date and time stamp.
Sometimes it's a few seconds apart, sometimes it's a minute or two. Overnight it was exactly every 30 minutes. It's writing the log to a text file. It appears to have been doing this ever since I got the phone. Only yesterday, it just decided to start notifying me of this. An Office notificaation pops up with "Batterylog.txt is ready to download"
Every.
Freakin'.
Time.
Haven't figured out why or how to stop the logging, but turning off notifications for office at least stopped the annoying notifications.
I have an S22 Ultra, all stock and up to date. Any way to stop it?
Where is it logging it to? Can you share the file? I wonder if there is something in the header of the file

It's saving in Documents. This is everything it shows. i see no header info.
That doesnt help me help you. I have seen apps that log what they are doing, and with new Android permission rules, everything has to go into downloads... so that makes it even harder. I am at a loss with that info, sorry

Yeah. There just isn't a lot of info there. I was mostly curious as to why whatever it is feels the need to log the battery status every 30 minutes, and why the only info given is "battery level greater than zero". That's pretty obvious by the fact that the phone is on. I'm even more curious as to why, all of a sudden, it started sending me notifications for it. I haven't changed any settings in forever.
I'd like to know what app it is, but there is absolutely nothing to go on. The file size is up to 1.4 kb since 11/03 04:37. I wonder how long it will take to get to 1 GB.
I'm sure there has to be an explanation. One of your apps is doing it, just not sure how to figure out which one it is.
I agree. I'm sure you've thought of this but it might be time to uninstall your apps one at a time until you figure out which one is responsible for it.

That thought occurred to me, but I opted for planB instead. I ordered a Pixel 7 Pro last nigjt.
Not purely for this reason tho. Phone tookansty fall a couple months ago. Nickel size chunk of screen gone, and it hasn't been fully right since screen replacement. Something loose inside, among other things.
