Nougat known bugs thread *Updated*

Hi
I wanted a thread where we all write down the bugs we have found and report them together to get them fixed a lot faster.
I will keep updating the thread as more bugs are found or posted by other members.
Bugs so far:
Android Wear/Nougat bug - If you enable "Ignore phone when using the watch" feature in Android Wear and then click "Find Phone" on the watch, the phone won't ring. This worked on Marshmallow. It disables "android device administrator" too if you set it to ring your phone. Also worked before Nougat.
Some users report problem with Google Play Services when downloading apps.
Some people report double application icons in settings.
smart view case not working properly when on AOD feature.
Missing colors in Peoples Edge feature.
Screen mirroring doesn't work with a ue50ku6000 samsung smart tv.
Some users report different kind of Facebook bugs.
After playing clash royale I go home switch to other app and lock phone. Then I get a notification (sound enabled) and after notification sound is played Clash Royale music starts to play even with phone locked on black screen.

Gallery app is not good.
For example gallery album preview optimization is really bad. Assume you have folders worth 2 scrolling pages. When you scroll back and forth, it always loads the album previews again and again and again idiotically.
Another example is that you are looking images in an album, you clicked and image, scrolled,scrolled and scrolled a lot of images. If you press back button you see last image is centered on album. But if you exit via zoom out gesture, you are doomed. Album is centered on first image.
Also scrolling between tabs on gallery is laggy. If you have a notification on gallery (the smart thing asking for if you want this collage etc) after going in the notifications exiting via back button freezes for a couple secs.

Had the issue too. Disabled power saving mode and/or data saver made it work again (still a bug, as data saver and/or power saving mode (background data off) makes Google Play Services stop.

Sorry if its not clear. The reason being not good is because it is full of little bugs. I thought anyone used can understand that.

My notifications went silent, and when I tried to change the notification tone for sms, it said that I can't change the sound whilst I am on a call even though I hadn't been on a call in hours. Anyone else had this??

Camera filter doesn't show in camera interface (although i installed new ones).
Antutu score seems lower than MM version.

Sim Card manager text issues are still not resolved.
Inside apps I am not able to long press and copy text however this should be android native functionality not apps functionality. Used to work everywhere in MM.

after flashing BTU firmware I cant find all the themes in theme store. Majority of good themes are missing.

No i did not click re-partition as it says in sammobile web to not click it, ive done some updates in my other galaxy phone and not a problem with that, lets wait and see if anyone has a solution, or wait for another update

I don't know if is a bug, but AOD looks a step backwards from beta1, this one doesn't change its own brightness, and since yesterday I didn't see changing position neither, anyone noticed the same?

Same here but apps are dolphin browser, xe currency and stock message app

No solution?

Workaround is to use another launcher.

Thx for the tip,will try

I used google now launcher, but when choose app from opened apps, the screen will dim again. Waiting for fix with next update.

I did clear cache of nova launcher,and since yesterday it is working normal

I think that's not a bug, it's power save function, same happens in stock dialer, stock sms app and Gmail

When it cant be control by user in a normal on/off way,then its a bug

I have a same problem with Chrome and SMS stock app.
VIDEO on YouTube

The auto-dimming in email and Chrome happened for me in EMUI 4 and now 5.
I was told that it is a power-saving feature and cannot be turned off.

I hear you, man. If there was a way I would do it too...

I didnt have this problem in 4.1,im going back

Hi, occurs this problem on to the build 380? Thanks.

Same problem here. Battery saver is off, auto brightness is off too. Any workarounds or word from Huawei?

This happens on all mobiles with emui 5
Mate 8, honor 8, Huawei p9, nova...

Really stupid bug that shows how poor emui developers are. Still in latest chinese developer rom, no sign that developers are even aware of the problem. Don't know how so few little people are reporting this, must be blind.
It should only happen when power saving mode is enabled like it did in older emui.
It causes so many problems. I have screen set to my preferred brightness then it dims so much when I open browser that I have to increase brightness every time. The only work around is to use 100% brightness all the time, then it does not dim the screen but this just a stupid waste of battery and bad for your eyes indoors.

It's not just email and chrome either. It's any web browser, nearly all system apps and a small few other third party apps.
Another issue that may not be a bug is when watching a movie the screen contrast increase dramatically and causes crushed blacks, does not happen on honor 7 with emui 4.

Problems in EMUI 9 Pie Update

Hi everyone,
I just updated my phone to EMUI 9.0 (Indian Variant) and i have a few concerns which i'm listing below.
Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
When you use splitscreen Emui stop showing the recent apps list. I get empty screen with wallpaper. It seems the windows are there, because when I click in the empty space the apps switch, but they are invisible. (Credits Medard22)
Huawei and Honor have officially disabled support for Google camera in their latest EMUI 9. All who got the EMUI 9 will not get the taste of Google camera anymore until they will enable it again. (Credits Zenkilla, Irshad Wani)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

1. The icons are moved to the left on the Android Pie, you can't move it back.
2. This is also normal on Pie and EMUI 9, and also can't revert. The 'blue screen' never happened to me, I don't know why is that happening to you.
3. The tips will stop appearing after some time. At least they did on my phone.
4. From the lock screen: swipe up, tap the settings button in the right bottom corner (the gear icon) and unlock the phone. It will open the Magazine subscriptions.
I hope I helped.

1. Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
This is because most of the phone launching with notch and Honor has started moving that icon to left. No way to move back untill a working xposed module.
2. The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
Not possible anymore unless on emui 8 or custom ROM.
3. When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
Nope. May a theme you are using is causing this.
4. The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
It was there for 2-3 days then stopped.
5. How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
As mentioned in above comment but in my case, when i opened i found it opening gallery and that's blank.

Its being rolled out in batches. You'll get it soon.

Well my problem with he update is that function, where you could make the alarm ringtone grow louder over time is now gone. I always use very low alarm volume so that I would not get heart attack every morning. Got the update yesterday and the alarm was so quiet that I overslept. After years Google finally bundle it to the stock app and now huawei removes it. Now that´s a progress. Also having Honor View 10 I must say i don´t like the stock camera app. In EMUI 8 there were a handy swiping gestures bringing mode selection and settings, well they are gone now it´s now a bit more ... clunky.

How's your ram usage? I noticed before upgrade I usually have near 1.5~1.8gb free ram I think can't be sure I didn't screenshot it. Now I have 800+mb. Only diference between old android and new android is I add weather widget which didn't eat as much ram. Restart I get 3gb free.

I found a way to revert to the EMUI 8 vertically stacked recent apps, but it requires root. If you use Titanium Backup or something similar to freeze the Huawei Home app and switch to a different launcher, it will revert to the Android 8 style recent apps.
This is weird, because it's as if the Android 9 style horizontal recents is not part of the OS, but a component of the Huawei Home app.
I'm sticking with vertical for now because I was getting the same blue tint that you described on the horizontal recents.

Even i feel the same way now, but give it time to get used to and you'll surely like it.
Also as you said huawei removed what google made default, i have experienced similar thing in the smart unlock tab. Google provides a lot of options to unlock by location, bluetooth etc but huawei trims it as per outs own liking.

Even i thought that's the part of OS update, never expected it to be launched related. Although, i'm not rooted but i use a different launcher, so maybe i think i'll just root.

This is issue faced by only some users, so i believe we should make a factory reset as i'm about to do in the coming days.
Since you are having issue similar to mine, can you also confirm if you have the magazine unlock tab in the home screen and wallpaper in settings?

Is there any official feedback thread? I found some more bugs. Some webpages have problem rendering their mobile versions on Pie. Also the 3D panorama in gallery doesn't work. After you click on the 3d button it constructs the mesh then freezes Right now I'm not very excited about the update unfortunately.

So I'm the only one that wants to use gestures but can't because my case cover the Sides?

Android 9 (Pie) - Bugs after Update

Hello to the XDA Dev Community.
I'd like to start a threat with bugs after the Android Pie update on our devices.
1. Bug:
Camera App forgets the "volume down key" binding. Means, when double pressed in standby mode the cam is not started.
Solution: Sadly this works only temporary - start the cam app and exit or close. After that the above mentioned shortcut / quickstart works for a short time in standby mode.
2. Bug:
This one is still not repaired: when switching to black mode (to lower the battery consumption) one can not see in the apps overview which of the apps are deactivated - the letters are not visible. When you have the white menues, the term "deactivated" is quite readable. (This bug is existent from the beginning with Android 8 - i chatted on this topic with the customer service of Huawei last year but that guy had no blink of an idea, he sounded very unexperienced.)
My Device:
Unbranded, European version, yesterday received the update.
Wonder if anyone experienced same difficulties and perhaps if there are solutions to this.
Have a good day

Whenever you do a significant upgrade, do a factory reset. This cures most problems, people need to start doing this rather then moaning.

Quite a good idea - but I am long enough into the smartphone scene (since Windows CE and Mobile) to know well that "factory reset" is unfortunately not the magic solution to all problems as some would like it to be...
Of course factory reset is done. Problems are still there, and to be honest - we would have not awaited it as a solution to both bugs i mentioned above a priori, would we?
Well besides I recognized another bug or feature(?)
3. Bug (or feature?):
The native mail app no more shows contacts pictures left to the associated mails.
Does someone know if this is somehow configureable?
Thx in advance

Hi,
found next bug.
4. Bug:
Fast double tapping the "square button" works inconsistently.... It should switch between the two last apps in the tasklist..... May be it has to do with a little time delay / time lag in reaction of EMUI9/Pie... I have the slight feeling that the OS is not that fluent as before (under Android 8)
I hope that is it....

That AI thing in the left most corner in the camera APP is not working, it is the same button as the one you see next to the search bar when you swipe down for searching. I think it used to be some kind for scanner or products? Now the button just flicks and does nothing.

Update:
I deactivated the corresponding Huawei app (HiVision), now it fully disappeared in the cam app and on the lock screen (formerly found at the bottom when you swiped from down to up... The list where the flashlight, calculator and so on appear)

Hey there,
Have you tried to go to battery optimisation (go to settings, hit the search bar on top and start writing "optim" and the first one), then search for "camera" and disable battery optimisation. It solved the problem for me.
I've found that the Pie is more aggresive overall with killing the background apps. I've had to add way more applications (than on droid 8) to the "disable battery optimizations" and to "app launch" (in settings, battery, app launch -> set applications that you want to survive on the background to "manage manually")

OTA Update: Against all info - the update was found by manual search in the standard system settings. As it was found I parallely checked HiCare App - NO updates were found, it was a joke!
So maybe also check this way, do not trust HiCare alone.
Update:
Found and activated the performance mode (as you said - battery settings). Sadly no change in performance of the app-switching.

Disabling the battery optimization for the cam app is the solution. It works even after restart of the device without starting the cam app before!

Hi,
It helps a bit, but still inconsistently working, even after restart of the device. I also tried to put EMUI into the AppAssistant app to enforce it, but the app is not selectable (guess it should be HiStart, EMUI or something like that)...
Only solution atm is to SLOWLY double-tapping the square button.

Update on this issue, I tried to clear data and cache which brought me back to give consent again and all but it still didn't work. What I did was disable it, which tuned it into factory default and then enabled it again and wolah, it works again. Thanks for informing me about the app name btw, would have been impossible without it. HiVision.

Pretty stupid tbf. I'll look to move off the standard mail client i reckon

My P20 Pro (C782) finally prompted me to updated to Pie today, but having done so I'm experiencing choppy / clipping / stuttering audio when connected to my Sony WH-1000XM3's (using LDAC codec). This wasn't happening on Oreo at all.
I've done a factory reset, but the issue persists. Happens throughout whatever's playing (Spotify, Tidal, PocketCasts, YouTube) and is especially noticeable when pressing the power button to activate the screen.
Any ideas?

Anyone else having problems with the volume rocker?
I can't slide the volume to the left to get multiple profiles. Isn't it possible with the pie update?

Wonder if the volume rocker is not vertically orientated in Pie. Mine is working good, sliding down goes to silent. Above the slider is a button for vibration, sound and silence.

Sounds to be a limitation by Huawei software...
I also recognized following bug (Android 8 & 9):
If I configure any mail account to "manually" in the native Huawei mail app, the app still looks for mails after a time when i only open the inbox....
Same situation when device goes into ultra power saving mode or automatically powers off because of low power....after return to normal state or reboot after charge the app now looks on all mail accounts for new messages itself/automatically. This happens when WIFI was on before powersaving mode or power off. As soon WIFI is available at startup or return to normal mode aforementioned situation occurs.... Can be avoided by canceling WIFI connection to the server/router....
That is indeed annoying!

And what does sliding to the side do?
It should show all the profiles like media, alarm and phone volume? No?

I noticed that the homescreen shortcuts, that arised if you press and hold on the Phone Manager icon, were removed. Too bad, would link the power mode to homescreen. Even better would be a shortcut in the Quick Settings.

Beta updates thread #ColorOS 13 #OppoFindX5Pro #OppoAmbassadors

Hi guys just making this thread to keep everyone as up to date as possible on the ColorOS 13 and what to expect. I'm currently downloading the beta firmware that's been released to the Ambassador's possibly to more users outside the ambassador program so here's the current file size and change log. Any questions fire away.

After 24 hours or so later from installing the beta I have noticed a few slight issues nothing show stopping so far so here's slight run down of things I have found so far:
1. Google Wallet:
Due to this being Beta firmware you are given this error,
I have yet to test to see if contactless payment might actually still work despite the warning message but I do plan to test it anyway.
2. Brightness issue:
After installing the new Beta I noticed that when the device was booting up the screen was lovely and bright. However as soon as it gets passed the boot animation all of a sudden the screen got really dark to the point that even screenshots became dark as well note the warning image above. After some digging about in the settings menu I came across an option within the dark mode settings called "Reduce contrast in low-light conditions". After i disabled that option the screen brightness and screenshots returned to normal again.
3. The Power Menu:
With this new update the power menu has changed quite a lot when you press the power button or the power + volume up depending on your setup you will no longer see the the Emergency, Restart or Power off buttons at the top. What you will see now is a sliding option in the middle of your screen to Restart or Power off. However not sure if it related to my first point but i no longer have options for quick access to my contactless payment options. Hopefully once the official version gets released having quick access to my payment options will return
Before:​After:​

Can you check these things for me?
1. Does ColorOS 13 allow hiding lock screen pattern? It's not there in ColorOS 12 despite being a feature in stock Android since forever.
2. Go to App info of Google Drive, then Open by Default. Does it have the option to turn off 'Open supported links'? It's there in stock Android 12 but not ColorOS 12. An example is provided below.
3. When you use App drawer mode (App drawer seperate with Home screen) and long press a user-installed app icon, does it allow uninstalling, or just removing the shortcut? I can do this in OneUI and OxygenOS 10 but not in ColorOS 12.
4. In App Drawer, when pressing the three dot icon above an app, does it allow going to 'App Info' of that app? Again, I can do this in OneUI but not ColorOS 12.
(the top option is App info)
These little things have been bugging me since updating to 12, so really appreciate if you can confirm if they have fixed them in ColorOS 13

I update to for android 13 and the phone is hot in idel and the battery drain fast

I have a question about the new version. Did they change how notifications behave on the lockscreen? At the moment notifications dissapear from the lockscreen in these scenarios:
- after you unlock and lock your phone, notifications disappear
- after a while (say 5 to 30 minutes) notifications dissapear from the lockscreen after having unlocked the phone.
All oppo, realme and (since oxygen 12) oneplus phones have this behavior.
I want to know if all notifications stay on the lockscreen no matter how many times you unlock your phone or how many hours they have been sitting there.

Any update to our questions?

That happened to me, I rebooted and factory reset and now I am back to a fantastic battery with very little drain.

I have just tested this and had a Facebook Message notification, I unlocked my phone - ignored the notification, and locked my phone - it is still there!
I will wait up to an hour to see if it goes away!

So I will check for changes once complete

Ok 1st Thoughts
1) Google Wallet now works!
2) The option to pick Network settings (3G/4G has been removed for us UK EE users
3) New AOD - "home" Showing effects of Global Climate Changes

Does this mean it automatically chooses the strongest? Or does it mean it automatically goes to 5G settings?

Second beta works perfect

Few days ago i sign up for the beta tester, yesterday evening i got notification for update to 13 beta.
Excited at first but after reading known issues (2nd beta) one of them is "laggy in some situation" i decided to stay at 12 and waiting for the stable version of 13.
Then i wake up this morning, open my phone then realize it has been automaticly updated overnight -_-
I use my phone looking for new features and functions for about an hour, didnt find any bugs except for the universal search in app drawer is not working. Turn that off and now the search function is working properly. Google wallet is not popular around here so i dont use them. So far i like the looks of the new ui.
Gonna update here if i found other bugs, the phone feels a little bit slower tho (barely noticable, 0.xx second slower), hopefully due to the phone still processing updates and optimization of the new os.
