White circle when touching screen - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

After updating to Oreo I get a white circle everytime I touch the screen. In the previous version I remember that there were a "show pointer" option in the developer menu, but I can't find this option in Oreo. Anybody knows how to disable this?
Thanks for any help

Slightly below the middle of the Developer options screen you have the header Input and then Show taps. It's probably that one.

No, you're not the only one!!
I use a flip cover and i close it during a call, i think the proximity sensor is so sensible..
Anyway, are you rooted or stock? Because with the stock rom appened too much, with custom rom a little bit less..
I'm using the stock rom...not rooted. Is there some kind of a fix but changing rom?

If you are having this problem and youre not rooted you can simply press the power button once you accept the call. You wouldnt face the problem then.

i believe that a smart phone should be smart on its own ...i'm not supposed to help it be smart
it has a sensor that should work properly.
and if i had root?

You had a problem. I gave you a simple solution. Its upto you to do what you want. If you had root you could recalibrate your sensor.

Date & time opens after call FIX
I'm using HTC Desire HD with samsung rom, and this issue happened to me as well. However, I've managed to find rom options under settings and there I've put automatic sleep whenever I turn off the screen instead of 5 seconds on default. Also I've found that pressing the small clock in the upper left/right corner opens date and time and I disabled that option... since then I've had no problems with my phone... I hope this helps

Rotate Screen

Does anyone know how to get the screen to rotate to where the USB c plug is at the top. I've checked rotate in the settings and it rotates in both landscape positions but cannot get it to rotate in portrait? I use the pixel in my car and it sits on the angled dash but cannot hook up the power cord because it's on the bottom where it sits.Thanks

@jreink01 - Dude, I think the best way for you to do this would be to install a different launcher. I believe Nova Launcher will allow you to choose rotation angles of 90, 180, & 270...so pretty much everything you'd need to view your phone at whatever angle your cables require.

Would nova launcher work to rotate the screen in whatever app I'm in?

I believe so, you can always try it. Is there any specific your concerned about not rotating? I can try it for you possibly.

Not really any specific app, just would like the ability for them all to rotate if I need to open one up. If you can if you have nova launcher installed, can you check your various apps to see if it works in that launcher? Thanks so much.

sorry man, there used to be an option to allow rotation of 180° but I don't see it now. All I can get anything to rotate is 90°. Don't think I'm missing a setting but, I may be.

Hold your finger on the Home screen until the options open up -
Settings > Look & Feel > Screen Orientation
Set to Auto-rotate
You also have to ensure that in your system settings you have it set to allow rotation.
System settings > Display > When device is rotated
Set to "Rotate the contents of the screen"
I've done all that, still will not rotate, spoke to Google support, they are sending a update, specifically to my phone which they said should fix the issue.

Just to be sure, you've also checked the box under Accessibility settings to allow screen rotation, right?
Also, recomhub.com has an article on this that suggests checking to see if your accelerometer and gyroscope are working correctly. The dialer code is:
*#0*#
Under the service mode screen, tap on "sensors" and do a self test.
Their only other recommendation if your carrier locked you out of that service screen is to do a hard reset. That's also been known to fix the screen rotation issue, but at the cost of losing your data. So make a backup if you go that route.
That is checked under accessibility settings, I also tried the service menu, but was unable to get that to work. I'm on the sprint Network. After talking with Google support, they said that sprint would not have changed the service menu by using their sim card and activating the phone. Don't understand why that service menu won't work. I don't want to do a factory reset as it took me quite awhile to get the phone setup the way I want it. Thanks for your feedback in trying to help.

@jreink01 - interestingly enough, the Maps app rotated 180° for me yesterday. So, I'm guessing the determining factor is going to be whether or not the particular app you're using supports that orientation.
Edit: it only works or goes 180° during actual navigation.

HTC U11+ Software Update 1.23.709.3

Hi Guys
My amazing HTC U11 Plus recieved early this morning the new 660 Mb update.
The only reported improvement was voWifi for CHT customers. I think that the update bring more than just this.
The security patch it has also been updated to December 1st.
I have just realized that the navigation button doesn't hide during texting. If you try to hide them, also the keyboard hide.
Did anyone else realized something more/else?
Justin print screen
Seems a large update just for that.
At a guess i would of thought this could be the hdr10 update, and that is the true reason why europe orders were delayed so they would all get this update on launch.
Have you noticed anything with the screen?

I am not sure but looks like the Brightness it's a little bit better now. The screen is lighter.
Also the Always On function looks better now. But didn't get it checked as well.
Now it's not more possible to hide the navigation button. So sad for this. They are always on.

Maybe to hide the yellow tint at bottom that some users are reporting in taiwanese forums....
Mine has It, but is barely noticeable.

This new white navigation bar is driving me insane. It is so intrusive. It also takes up screen real estate in games. What's the point of a big phone if so much is no useless during games. Can I make it go away?

There is an option to have the nav bar be transparent and disappear automatically in apps. Swipe the nav bar to the 2nd row of icons, then select the icon that looks like a arrow pointing down from a line. Once selected, it should fix your problem. If you don't see this icon, you can add it by going to settings>personalize>change navigation buttons>drag show/hide nav bar where you want it.

Is there an option to make it transparent but not hide it in general but only in games? If I do what you suggest, I lose the bar in all apps. I don't want to do that because I don't like to do 2 touches (one to pull the bar up and second to press the button) just to go back or go home.

You could do, as I suggested in a different post, and download an app to set the fingerprint to make you go home.
The fingerprint scanner will work as normally to unlock your Phone however pressing it again when unlocked will take you to the home screen like it used to on the HTC 10 (and maybe HTC U11 not sure about that one)
Has anyone here after updating to the latest version the developer option can no longer be enabled? And most of the options undet dev options are not changable especially the usb debugging mode? Please see screenshots

Split screen view option missing from menu

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
