Hello everyone!
This is my first post on XDA
I found this on international variant of N7 Plus.
I'd like to share you a thing that I have found in settings menu. It's hidden and it's easy to dig it out :highfive:
Follow this steps:
1. Open settings app
2. Tap search
3. Type "navigation" or "fingerprint"
4. Tap Navigation Key of Fingerprint and Voila! Done!!
Let me know what you think. I found this thing randomly. Sorry if it is posted in wrong sub.
Now, is there an option to hide on screen navigation buttons?

Oddly, they haven't put some good Chinese variant features in it yet. Waiting for future update
Also anyone got any news on AR camera suite? Sarvikas said in event

That explains the feature we saw on some YouTube review of the phone

Strange! I don't even have it !
Don't have these option on the TA-1055 in Australia. Only have the fingerprint swipe for notifications
Same for me! Nokia removed this feature with the May Security Update!

Not seeing this feature on my 1055 in Australia, which is disappointing because this sounds cool

Yeah same here. Disappointing for sure. Why would they remove this...
Also I spoke to Nokia about the lack of "homescreen auto add icon" option in their launcher and they said it would be passed to the development team to "consider" lol
I was really hoping we could hide the on screen navigation buttons!
Dang.
Hope we see it's comeback in June update. haha.
Right now y'all guys can try the XDA's navigation gestures app. It's pretty decent app and nice replacement

Yeah I tried it out, it's pretty nice, tho it's a little obsolete on this device, given that we can't hide the nav bar (at least, not that I'm aware of?)
With june update, this hidden function is back

Hi,
I'm new to xda and have just bought H8. Really excited and happy about this phone. :good:
I have one question. I had Honor 5x before and it had a feature where I can assign a particular finger print to a shortcut. For example unlocking with my index finger would do a direct call to my home.
I don't see this feature in H8. I searched everywhere in settings including the smart key but of no help.
Any pointers? I really miss this nifty feature...
Hi, H8 doesn't have this feature, you can only answer call with fingerprint.

Thanks. Is there any other way around this. I am sure someone must have found out a way.
It was such a blessing in my Honor 5x.

What Android version do you have now? If I'm not mistaken, that feature was only present in EMUI 4.
Never saw it on my honor 8, just use the button as a shortcut

I think it's not present on honor 8 due to that fps doubles as a button

Then I'm mistaken. :laugh: Most probably Huawei removed it to compensate for the smart key.

Why not assign double click a smartkey to an app .
A triple click too ?
Is there triple click?!

Thanks. Double click on smart key can only open an app. But what I'm looking for is to assign a 'direct call' shortcut to it.

He said, there is only option to open Contacts not dial concrete one.
I investigated it and there is no way how to do it.

Well i found the same . Sorry OP . No more answers left
Found a way finally. This app can create shortcuts as individual apps. The shortcuts show up individually in your app drawer which means you can assign them as smart key functions! So now I can call my home with a single press of the smart key... :good:

Awsome. Great u figured it out.
From the main screen of the Honor View 10, if you swipe right, do you reach Google Now? I'm particularly interested if the UK version does this?
Thanks
You can switch that feature On and Off from the Home screen settings. It's a feature that came with Android Marshmallow, or even earlier if I'm correct.

Here's a screenshot, I forgot to add it to the reply. Maybe moderator can merge these posts into one...
Excellent. Many thanks. This is a feature not present in the Mate 10 which I have, which also doesn't have face unlock. The Honor doesn't sound like the inferior phone to it's more expensive cousin!
Hey guys I was wondering about the Pie update specifically multitasking I've noticed that in pixel phones you get live apps in multitasking screen and I was really excited for this feature but I just got my oneplus oneplus 6 2 weeks ago and I and I was surprised that it wasn't implemented so does anyone have an idea why it was cut out or even if its coming later in an incremental update?
Thanks in advance loving the phone btw
Do you have a video or something showing that? I've never heard about it.

Do you mean copying from multitasking? Indeed I can't make it work but it doesn't like a huge absolutely needed feature.
Or do you mean having suggested apps at the bottom? I've actually never seen this feature on any other videos. Maybe it was only in the previews but it wasn't kept in final Pie?

If you use the classic navigation buttons (back / home / recents), do you know that double tapping recents allows you to switch to the last app. I'm sure you'll find it as convenient if not more!

you can actually do that with new bar as well swipe where the multitasking used to be and it will switch between apps

Copying text from recents is a Google Pixel exclusive, no other phone has it. The only way to get it on other devices is to install Lawnchair along with Lawnstep, where this feature is/will be available (they were planning to add it, not sure if that happened already though).
EDIT: Ooor just use a custom ROM supporting this feature, should there be one.
Hi there,
Message to notice that Android Pie is finally rolling out for Taiwanese versions of HTC U11+.
Version received is 2.15.709.1! Will test this morning!
Nice day!
Have they just recoloured notifications and shortcuts portion ?

Still downloading, can't tell right now! The screenshot was on 8.0 showing notification to upgrade to 9.0!
OK! As tiny review : visual adentity as been changed in notification and quick access area (more colorful in settings menu), I've got the impression that the system is globally more responsive, dark mode has been added. Performances are the same, about 204000pts in Antutu before and after update! Let's see further to test a little bit more battery life!

If only they could add gestures and dark theme for main menu settings....
Bluetooth bugged?
Is bluetooth working for you?
For me, it deleted all my paired devices and it doesn't find any of them anymore.

Just tested right now! It deleted effectivelly all my other paired devices but I can pair them again without any issue!
Okay, I found out whats going on.
Apparently, in Pie, the previously connected devices aren't shown in the bluetooth menu but in "device connection". You have to pair new devices there and also my old devices refuse to autoconnect. But it works now.

Perfect!! Thanks for feedback!
I'm in the US using AT&T but still have the Taiwan version of the phone, will the automatic software updates still go through?
Is the U11+ any luckier than the U12+ in the gestures department?
Is the soft navbar still being forced? Any option to enable gestures?
Interesting video

Yes, I'm in Belgium with tw version and I could download the update. If you have a tw version in US, I suppose your phone is unlocked. Just try to search for updates manually in the settings, you should be able to download and install right now!

It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

Thanks a lot guys
OT but
But does anyone know a way to lock screen ( like by double tap) without the power button and without any launcher or rooting.
Thanks

I think it's only possible with those 2 options you mentioned.

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
