I just got the Oreo update C636 and Emui 8.0.0.366. All fine so far, except that an annoying icon comes up in the top-left corner. When I pull it down, it complains about an application "running in the background". How can I get rid of this icon ?
The application in question is World Clock Widget 2018. If I stop it altogether, the icon disappears, but the clock widget stops updating itself. I understand the motivation for the icon: background apps consume power. But this is just a clock, so I'm happy to let it run in the background. Battery life is great, 48+ hours.
I attach two screen dumps.
BTW, I can't access this Xda Forum from Chrome any more. The page opens normally, but then a second later a blank overlay comes up. I'm writing this from MS-Edge (yukk!)
You can use an app on the Play Store. This is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iboalali.sysnotifsnooze
thanks, it works. Apparently, the issue affects other Androids as well, not just Emui.

I'm running lollipop (Pure.White if you're interested) and its near perfect. The challenge I'm currently facing is around Quick Settings not being customizable, forcing me to go back to Power Toggles. But, when using Power Toggles and a couple alternatives, the toggles show up on the lock screen. Anybody come across alternatives that don't show on lock screen?
I believe this is theoretically possible. The notification telling me my Pebble watch is connected shows in the drawer, but not on the lock screen. Thanks all.
OK, sorted this out on my own. For anyone else, you want to make sure the app is using the lowest priority notification. In Power Toggles, that's "Not pinned and no icon" under Notification Position. You lose the ability to have it permanently at the top of your notifications, but that's minor.
I don't even want to compare Android 5.0 to iOS or Windows Phone. Let's compare it with Android 4.4:
1) In new Android long pressing a power button only shows "Switch Off" whereas in Android 4.4 you could enable/disable flight mode and enable/disable silent mode/vibration. In new Android to do the same you have to use a volume slider and then press the screen at least several times.
1a) How can you hide the panel which changes the priority mode? Nothing works - it just hides on its own after a while!
2) Recent Apps button shows phantom apps I removed from the recents.
3) Recent Apps button often shows bad previews (visually distorted).
4) The lock screen doesn't automatically show an unlock widget - once again, an extra swipe just to unlock your phone.
5) To remove all removable notifications you have to scroll them all down! In Android 4.4 the "Mark all read" button was always present at the top!
6) There's too much white everywhere and the whole palette feels inconsistent even among different Google(TM) apps.
7) Quick settings which you pull from the top totally suck. In Android 4.4, e.g. long pressing Wi-Fi icon called a Wi-Fi networks dialog - in Android 5.0 you have to go to settings (a tiny icon at the right top corner).
7a) Quick Settings occupy 100% of the screen estate and they are ridiculously sparse (it looks like 75% of screen space if filled with void).
8) The flow of notifications is totally ****ed up. New temporary notification appear on top of the list and hide permanent apps, so to view the latter you have to scroll the list. I don't know why but permanent notifications at least for me are equally or more important.
9) 12 and 13 Wi-Fi channels for 802.11n are totally disabled no matter which Nexus device you own (US or the rest of the world).
Other annoyances:
1) There's no way to configure the keyboard click sound or its volume - in Android 4.4 I could clearly hear keypresses, in Android 5.0 they are practically mute.
2) There's no gallery app and the Photos app is an abomination. The Gallery app from 4.4 hardly works (it crashes when you try to edit a photo).
3) Backup settings have been modified and now they don't allow to specifically backup /sdcard/DCIM - now it's done via Photos.
To tell you the truth I cannot find a single worthy Android 5.0 feature that I really love and appreciate.
I only use my gmail account for the play store and hangouts. I have zero interest in my gmail email, I've got my own exchange server and work's. So I don't have the gmail syncing emails, contacts or calendar so why is it that the new calendar is full of gmail entries and emails from my wife show her gmail image rather than the image I've added to her exchange contact? The contact app shows the right image so why not when accessing my own exchange server? If I get an email from her work address which is on the same exchange contact I get the right image.
In the new form over function calendar there's no option for month view. Sure you can tap the month but in 4.4 you could open it up at the month view and see exactly what days had events on them.
Unless someone who's played around with it more than I have has some solutions I'll be heading back to 4.4 as 5 adds nothing for me.
Hi guys.
Just updated my galaxy s7 to android 7.0 nougat.
For some reason the alarm icon is constantly displayed in the notification bar.
How do I get rid of it?
I have heard about system ui tuner.
It should allow me to remove the icon. But I can't enable ui tuner.
I have hold down on the settings icon for 10 seconds. It still doesn't show up.
Please help. Thanks.
Deleted all alarms even if they are not active?
No I haven't deleted them. I need them. I just don't need to be reminded that I have alarms active.
Before I updated android the icon would first appear some time before the alarm went off.
Can't remember exactly how long before, let's say an hour.
Yea I noticed the icon stays there as long as you have alarms set, even if none are due
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/remove-nfc-icon-root-adb-t3507739
i use this program and get rid of the nfc icon too it works great
Had a play about with the alarms today, and as long as they are switched off (They can still remain set) then the icon disappears
Only when they are turned on, even if the time and date has passed, the icon will show
Hello folks,
I've just received this latest OTA update for Oppo F3 Plus (India)
OTA Release Date: October 27, 2017
ColorOs Version: v3.0.0i
Latest OTA: 171013
Android Security Patch Level: October 5, 2017
Attaching pictures of update notif & changelog
F3 Plus: Bug n Suggestion
Bugs:
1. swiping on homescreens the transition effect is laggy by most of the time but after yesterday's ota update lag was reduced by 50% but with a 4gb of ram n QC chipset, one could never want to see a bit lag on this powerful device
1.1 i just noticed while using messenger when i minimizes the messenger chat head the transition effect is laggy. (already mentioned similar prob with homescreen transition which now says this device animation effects are at low level even though having sexy adreno graphics)
1.2 Again another poor transition effect lag: applied a theme from store which has huge clock on lockscreen and when i turn on the display the clock effect(zooms forward like a bloom) is laggy all the time. when i press on music on left bottom the appearance of music buttons is laggy and swiping up to unlock transition is laggy too...
2. while trying to lock apps from recent apps menu, entire mob gets freeze. rarely happening but didnt faced it after this latest OTA update
3. using Google's «wallpaper» app and setting wallpaper in "Daily wallpaper" mode shows a corrupted photo icon in In-Call background while calling
4. in camera the Bokeh effect is not croping properly which is bluring some upper hair edges n hands part... need to improve the Algorthm to fix it
5. [major] the notifications sound is unchangeable . so irritating to hear the default sound over n over again where there is no option to change it
6. assume im using whatsapp or any other app and a email received and i navigate to gmail via notification and when i press back the OS totally backs to homescreen but not to previously used app which is whatsapp. fix it!
7. in developer options > running services> at bottom the bar view of RAM shows absolutely 0 usage all the time... ram usage code is not linked to it. this is total rubbish . fix it.
8. in dev options> disabled apps> i disabled YouTube app but it still shows up and opens well and works well. what id that disable option suppose to perform? fix it!
9. when swiping down on home screen promotes to search and it shows MEMOS in search list but where is the memo app to search a memo? oops! i have installed Google's Keep and tried to search a word from home screen search but it couldn't search a memo in the end of the day. fix it!
10. [major] recent apps not clearing by pressing X button in recents by says roughly 300mb cleared but then manually closing apps by swiping up closes apps and frees more ram. fix it!
Suggestions:
[*]quick toggles should have been customizable with drag n drop feature n to add more tiles in list (i miss DND tile)
enabling developer options keeps the status bar warning all the way and i couldn't even get to see a time on status bar... i suggest to add a red flashing light on status bar instead of warning msg to turn off dev options all the timee.
[*]i use monochronic display view in developer options while my eyes start to strain becoz b/w display is more efficient in other way comparing to eye protection inverted colors. add monochromatic view in eye protection category
add percentage to calculator in portrait mode as the bottom part of calculator have one Button of free space
add customizable toggles in notif to align as we wish to...
Battery doesn't show usage graph and screen on time to measure the usage... in hardware section it always shows empty but why not a screen time is shown in hardware section?
[*]there is no MENU (3 dots) system in this OS. if i have to open a menu for any app settings i hardly have to open settings and navigation to call, messages, camera etc.. to change its options but why not holding recents button can open its settings and make it even flexible to user?
in recent apps holding an app could've navigate to "app info"
Add S or XS font view in display >font section to make the more content visible for this big display
move apps to sd card or change of installation storage should be introduced
theme store should be customizable while some themes have beautiful ui and clocks but bad icons and i couldnt customization each of them but to apply one whole theme which is sooo unusable of themes flexibility
enabling notification light to each and every app is like being dragged in a hell... allow the notif light enabled to all the apps by default. some users even think this device has no notif light. isnt this pathetic for both user n color os?
allow googles feed on oppo launcher for pleasent way to view updates
video calling via 4g is not available. whyyyy?
group selfie cam is not as bright as normal front cam
[*]music player: seek bar is tiny as needle. hardly finds it correct to seek it . make the seek bar larger
holding back button can kill a current app is not present in dev options as well as color os customization. bring that feature
I have not expected oppo can fix all these bugs as they suck at updates but im so happy to say that oppo has released one major update for F3 and F3 plus devices which introduced many new features of color os and new ui which is more alike iphone now.
Here is the source to know and download and flash the Nougat Rom into your F3/Plus

I'm keep getting notification about Nod32 using battery in background even after setting off this notification in the app's setting. What should I do? Its quite annoying that this notification cannot be deleted.
FRD-L09 8.0.0521(C432)
You go to the Apps settings, click on show system processes and click on Android System. Then go to notifications in that menu and find apps using battery or whatever it's called. There you can disable it.
Did you try clicking on the notification?
I have the same notification for weather app using battery which I can't delete by swiping left or right, but when I click on it, it disappears.
When I click on it the settings comes up which you see if you go to settings>apps>nod32. There is the option about battery usage but I already disabled the notification about battery usage.
