Starred contacts in DnD - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

On 5.1.7 with Google dialer but cannot selected managed favorites in DnD menu? Was working under 5.1.5 which is the last time I checked?
Anybody else

I don't understand. Are you saying that you can't manage your favorites contacts in DnD menu, or that you can't make DnD ring for your favorites contacts ?
In first case, I didn't seen such an option in 5.1.5/6/7
Second case : it's working ont 5.1.7, without any issue here.

Can't manage them in DnD, used to be able to on earlier version. Can of course add/remove in contacts but menu is meant to allow it

Oh. OK. I'm on 5.1.7, and I've this Manage favourite contacts menu working without issue.
In french, but the menu is here. And give me the possibility to remove a favourite, or add another.

Do you have the standard dialer or Google Dialer? That's the only thing I can think may be interfering with it

Now you ask me, I though that the standard (stock from OOS) was the google one.
I'm with the stock OOS one.

CM6 dialer

I'm wondering what is everyone using since the cm6 dialer doesn't search contacts as you type their name in T9 format. Or is there a setting I'm missing.

Dialer one off the market has all of those sense features
Yeah, I've tried it but it's slow and doesn't have any of the tabs on top like call log, contacts, favorites.
I'm not sure why the developer didn't choose to replace the default dialer with his and instead added a dialer. This creates a problem because after dialing and conversation is over the default dialer is shown.
I started this thread thinking the CM6 developer responsible for dialer app would take this as a request to the default dialer if anything.
Can we install the old sense dialer if we have the apk or will it not work since it isn't a sense rom?
I usually just hit the search button once I open the dialer to find the contact I'm looking for.
And as for returning to the dialer after a call, there is a setting in the preferences for this. There's also a setting in the main call settings for returning to the call log after a call.

It won't work: no sense apps will work on AOSP since there's not HTC framework.

turn off the "Display contacts photo" setting and that should take care of the slowness. it doesn't have tabs at the top, but you can swipe left and right on the list to change views.

Thanks, that helped with the speed I didn't know about the swiping either.
What about the buttons. Don't you guys find them to be too much against each other? I like the default dialer better. It "seems" like you are less likely to hot the wrong key.

Google calendar issue only with HTC u11 - SOLVED

Hi all,
I have a couple of strange issues using Google calendar on my HTC u11.
1.
When a press new event button I see a 'flat' interface instead of classic one.
See screenshots attached please.
On my Nexus 7 (same accounts, same calendars, same application version) all appear normally.
2.
I cannot swipe to delete event. Swipe gesture doesn't work.
On my Nexus works perfectly.
I tried of course to clear calendar data, install fresh but nothing.
Latest Google calendar version installed of course.
Recently updated ota 1.27 but the same.
Anyone is experiencing same issued?
Thx
Not sure what you mean by flat interface, however just created an event and can swipe to delete and short swipe to tap trash can to delete. Both ways work just fine. Im on Sprint 1.28. and latest as well.
All works normal for me. Leedroid.

Look at differences between your screenshots and mine.
When you press plus button in your case you see other colored buttons.

I will change calendar app awaiting a fix ever if it's a Google calendar bug in some situations
After a lot of experiments, finally I discovered what is causing the issue.
It's an app called Nougat Quick settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles
It need accessibility permissions to allow it to create custom tiles in the quick settings bar.
I have contacted app developer that confirms this bug.
Once disabled accessibility permissions, Google calendar works fine but custom tiles stop working.
I hope this is useful to others having similar issues.
BTW Ty all for your support.

You can get custom tiles with shortcutter by @LeeDroid mate. Try it out. It doesn't interfere with any other App like GCalendar

Notification on Android Messages not showing up

Hello!
I installed Android Messages app on my Mi Mix 3 but notifications doesn't show up. I have tinkered all the settings on the notification and turned it on but still it doesn't show up. No floating notifications, no badges, no sounds. But the messages does come in. No issues if i'm using the stock messaging app and other sms apps, only on the android messages and I really want to use this app over other messaging app. Anybody here got the same problem or anyone knows any turnarounds for this?
TIA

If you are not on the dev Rom install that then allow auto start, priority notifications, and no battery restrictions.
Other option is to install the app to the system but you need root.

Push the app to become a system app if rooted
Why does this need root in order to get notifications and why did none of the reviewers I watch mention the HUGE issue?
I don't get notifications from; Hangouts, Android messenger (google), Steam, Discord and they are all set to high priority when available, at least whatsapp seems to work....
Still waiting on the 72 hour hold.

Chinese ROM has always been that way as it's for the Chinese.
A lot of those apps are designed to work with Google play services which also needs to be installed as a system app for it to work more effectively

I did forget to mention I am on the Global ROM full stock, no root.
(edit)
I checked google play services, it is up to date as a system app. Enabled all notifications on it too.

Strange, usually global notifications work well especially with Google baked into global
Rooting and pushing to system app should still solve the problem unfortunately

Google notifications are borked no messages, Allo, or assistant. I moved back to eu rom. Actually don't see a reason right now to be on global.

I assumed that thread was Chinese, done same in this one so got mixed up.
Global usually works fine with notifications so it is strange. The global I flashed in December had perfect notifications, global on all my other Xiaomi phones worked fine so surprised it has issues.
In developer settings, go to bottom and turn off "MIUI 10 Optimization"
works perfect

It didn't work for me (eu rom, weekly build). On mine, if I switch to Textra then back to Messages, notifications work fine.

Is this for the Chinese or Global ROM?
I'm on the Global ROM, not seeing any OTA update as of now.
And I'm experiencing similar problems with notifications (Google Hangouts, Telegram, etc.) on the stock Global ROM 10.0.11.0 PEEMIFH
and surely you have changed optional/other permissions for notifications, yes?

Which Dialer/ Contact Manager app for OnePlus?

Howdy,
Just moved to OnePlus, excited to set up the phone.
What dialer / contact manager app do most of you use? The default?
On my previous phone I had Simpler installed, but not sure I'm in love with it. Wouldn't mind an app that lets me back up contacts without sharing all the data with Google.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I used to Google dialer and contacts.
But I switched to OOS dialer. With oos dialer, you get the custom vibration for ringtones and can call record.
I use Smart Notify for dialer, sms and notifications management. This cooperate with google contacts (or some other of your choice) and with phone app oop-stock (with call recording). This is super combination..

Ha, thank you for encouraging me to look at the stock app again.
At first I thought there was no "dark theme" in the Oxygen OS dialer, but when I turned the entire phone's dark in settings, the dialer went dark too.
I think I'll try that for a while, as well as other suggestions on the thread.
I use True Caller to avoid spam/scam calls. I'm very content with how it works

Whatsapp doesn't show the contacts - chinese ROM

Hi. I have an issue with Whatsapp. It has all the permission s available, so does google contacts. Ut for some reason the chats in what's app shows just numbers, not contact says..anybody came across the fix?
It's permissions do make sure you've set EVERYTHING there's stuff like Modify And Create Contacts and other similar ones this depends on
To fix manually in the meantime just go to the main screen, go to send a new message, then the three dots & Refresh
Go to settings - Accounts & Sync - Whatsapp - More - Sync now
That seems to work

That was done. Refreshing it did 5he trick. Thanks guys.
Cool!
If it persists after a reboot check permissions again (this gets very boring on the Chinese rom) but refreshing always brought it back for me.
Enjoy
The easiest way to fix this is go to privacy setting and look at behaviour of the apps, specially the permissions that WhatsApp tried to get and was restricted, or returned blank. Then set that permission to allow always.

Thing is, the fix is not permanent, I need to do it every few minutes. That's ridiculous
Why, I fixed mine once and it has never gone back. Have you checked all permissions, network restrictions, notification and battery settings and then go to compose a message, press on the 3 dots and refresh. You must be missing one of these things. Get yourself on to the EU ROM, you don't get this trouble. Good luck, you will crack it.

Are there any other battery settings apart form these on the app settings page (no restrictions)?
I am also on the Chinese rom and just fixed the permissions, marked autostart and excluded from battery saver. Everything works permanently.

The best way to do all this is not to look individually but search "battery" or "permissions" in settings. The layout isn't always great so I'd recommend searching for words instead of just scrolling through

Yes, you are right. What I find stunning in this phone is the fact 5hat the launcher after deep sleep reverts to a system one and lawnchair's settings for some reason are restored

Many thanks for this. I picked up a transparent Mi 10 Ultra a week or so ago and had this issue after flashing the Xiaomi.eu stable ROM. I could refresh the contacts within the app, but it would only stick for ten minutes or so. So far these settings have stuck.....
