Hey guys. I just recently switched to a T-Mobile One S from my Sprint Evo 3D. I've loved the phone so far, but I've noticed one dumb thing about it. On the Evo (running a gingerbread ROM), when long-pressing a phone number in a text, email, webpage, etc., I get a context menu with options to call, text, add to contacts, and so on. On the One S, I don't get any of these options, it just highlights the number for copying.
Am I missing something, or is this feature really gone? Is this true for all ICS ROMs, or just the stock T-Mo one I have? My brother seems to recall something about an Apple patent infringement that made Google or the phone makers omit this feature. Can anyone shed some light on this?
If the feature really is missing, is there a way to add it? Maybe there are ROMs that have already done this?
Thanks for any info!
Thank Apple for that.
Flash a ROM with a 1.78 base like leedroid maybe, you'll lose wifi calling though. Did this never work on Tmobile US One S or did this get disabled in 1.84 update?
If you're rooted, you can remove the HTC linkify app and the functionality will return...Not sure if you can disable via app manager if unrooted

I just tried the instructions linked in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536
Unfortunately, the only change is that now tapping on a phone number doesn't do anything (it used to bring up the dialer). Long-press still just selects the number for copying.
So now I can't even dial numbers by tapping them. I'm going to restore the build.prop backup and wipe the caches again and see what happens.

Did you reboot? Have you tried Settings/App Associations and clearing out the defaults? You might also have to clear the defaults in your dialer to get it to work.
I did reboot to recovery and clear the caches after deleting the apk and doing the build.prop changes.
I restored the build.prop backup and deleted the first instance of ro.da1.enable and then edited the second one from "true" to "false." This got the tap-to-dial working again, but the long-press stayed the same. I tried adding the ro.da1.method=false line, but that didnt seem to help.
I was going to check the app association settings, but that option in settings has disappeared. Is this because I deleted HTClinkifydispatcher.apk?

I think so...I didn't even do any build prop changes and I can tap to call from the browser but can't get the menu you described. Don't think I've ever seen that on any other phone I've used, so maybe it was specific to your previous models software?
I got the app associations menu back by restoring the linkify apk, undoing the build.prop changes, and clearing the two caches.
So now I'm back where I started. I have a softball game now, but I'll give this another try when I get back.
I'll get a screenshot of the menu the Evo 3D brings up when I long-press on a number.
Ok, I just went through the process again, and I don't get anything different as far as SMS and dialing goes. I tried clicking on a YouTube link, and I was given the choice between the browsers or the app, whereas before it would just open in a browser, so I know there's a change.
This time I renamed the linkify apk, deleted the first ro.da1.enable entry, and changed the second one to "false." I also restarted and wiped both caches.
Maybe the long-press menu was just a Sense option in Gingerbread. Does anybody know of a way to add this to a Sense 4.0 ICS ROM? Thanks a lot for the help so far, by the way.
I don't have any suggestions, but I remember this function/ability since you have brought it up. And I would like to get it back as well.
Going to look into it.

It will work if you double click the phone number, for me works
@syntropic - That'd be great, thanks!
@sebysebu - I tried double-tapping, and it just pulls the number up in the dialer like a single tap does. Is this what you get, or are you getting something else?

First of all I want to say that, also, I would like to have this function again.
Secondly, yes, this is what I get, I didn't tried before the single-tap, only the long press and the double-tap, my mistake, sorry. But after it pulls the number up in the dialer you can just dial then end the call quickly, then long press and you have those options. It's true that is more time wasted this way, but it can be done.
Anybody have any new ideas on this? I'm willing to use my phone as a guinea pig. I'm no expert, but I'm fairly familiar with command-line stuff.
Moved To Q&A
Please post in the correct section.
:BUMP:
Any new ideas on this?
Folks,
Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Running stock 4.4.2, rooted, Franco Kernel, w/ Xposed ( GravityBox ) and Tasker
Has anyone else had problems with a single button wired headset intermittently launching a classic looking voice dialer versus the new voice search stuff when using the headset's button?
I basically have a Tasker profile that unlocks and wakes my phone after I plug in my headset. This all works fine.
Problem is, when trying to actually use the headset to call someone, this classic looking (and I say that because it's a black background with white text, nothing fancy) voice dialer comes up but no matter what, can not make out what I am asking it to do.
If I hit the back button and try the headset button again, it will then sometimes go to the new voice search and work completely as expected. Not every time. Sometimes the classic dialer wants to hang around for 2 or 3 attempts.
Anyone seen this before? I was hoping to find a way to just disable this 'classic' voice dialer because I'm essentially trying to have my phone be more hands free if the headset is plugged in and know the new voice search works just fine.
Thanks,

Could you try starting your device in safe mode and not running any apps you've installed to test if one of them is causing the problem? If you don't experience the problem while in safe mode that's a good indication that an app you've installed is the source of your issue.
I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how your safe mode test went after you get a chance to give it a try.

Joannn,
Thanks for the thoughts.
I tested safe mode and the classic voice dialer does not come up at all so it definitely has to be some sort of app or weird way my system is calling something when using the headset in normal mode.
I tried the following with no success in normal mode:
1) Disabled Xposed and all modules - rebooted - no change
2) Disabled tasker and tested with just plugging in the headset and testing the button - no change
3) Switched from Nova launcher back to stock launcher - no change
4) Uninstalled a headset button control app - no change
So, I'm not sure why the phone randomly thinks this old dialer is the correct one to launch, nor do I have any idea where it is coming from. It doesn't appear to be a separate app and even when I look through the system apks, I see nothing that looks like it references this classic voice dialer. Not sure what's triggering it.

I've got to assume it's something related to Tasker or the Secure Settings plugin for it. I uninstalled every single app I could think of that may have had the ability to make any calls of any nature, and in Settings>Apps I don't see the Voice Dialler at all, even before I started uninstalling things.
Without Tasker being used, I haven't seen the bad dialer come back again.
Was really only using tasker to get around the fact that the headset button is ignored if the phone is pin locked. Guess I'll try and find another way around it.
Thanks for your help,

Okay, I'm going to take that back.
It's got to be stock somehow. I read some other posts and a quick google image search shows other people with the same dialer, especially when using bluetooth headsets from the lockscreen. I've pretty much removed everything from my phone aside from the stock apps. In the varying posts I've seen, the spelling is incorrect in 50% of them, and I don't know maybe if that has something to do with the language settings of the phone.
I also tested a bluetooth headset that had never been paired with my phone before and when the phone is locked, I get the odd dialer, when it's unlocked, I get the proper google voice search.
My next step would be to completely wipe and reinstall. But, I think I'm going to keep trying to figure this out before going to that length.

the spelling incorrect is not google. and if it was google, it would be spelled incorrect for all, not 50% of the people. the next question is do you have a mod for your lockscreen? whatever it is, it is not googles app that you screenshoted. and you wrote that in safemode, it didnt appear. which also indicates that its a 3rd party app.

Simms,
Figured out the 'spelling mistake'. Since I'm Canadian, I was running my phone in English (UK) versus English (US). When I changed it back to English (US), now Dialer is spelled correctly.
As for lockscreen mods, I do have GravityBox running with some Lockscreen tweaks, but in my previous testing, I totally shutdown Xposed. That's all I've got. Had the same problem with it totally disabled.
Just came across this post on Android Police with a lot of comments with the exact same problem I'm having. Seems even with using Tasker and Secure Settings to disable Pin lock, turn off keyguard, wake the device and take it to the homescreen, the phone still thinks the screen is 'off' and brings up the old dialer.

so it seams then that you either need to update your google search or you are using a samsung device and not a nexus 5.

I'm getting the same thing, mostly when playing a game. Will flash for a split second. Not sure what's causing it.
I don't think it's a virus tho.
Maybe its problem with system or launcher? I haven't found anything like that on internet or how to slove this
Mine is doing the same thing as well. I think at least for me it's because my RAM is getting close to making out.
Same problem
I have the same problem. Has anyone got any hints at least? It's very annoying and no other phone seems to have it.

I'm having the same issue. Screen goes kinda white for half a second and looks as it would start an app, but then goes back to what app you just had opened.
It is not a constant flickering or flashing, as reported from Samsung and other Devices and which is documented via Videos on the Net.
It would be hard to film it, as I haven't been able to reproduce thus behaviour.
When I play a game (King of Avalon) and when I'm just typing and that issue occurs, the typed text is gone. Luckily it doesn't happen while typing on WhatsApp or other apps with text features.
A while back it was almost gone, but then came back, without me having changed the app Setup.
I will reset the phone and see, if it comes back.
I still think it's an issue brought up from apps that use the GPU a lot.
Have tried different settings the Developer Options from Android (Disable HW-Overlay,...) but it didn't help.
Will report, once I have resetted, but will take a while, until I have time for testing.

Hey, I also had this problem, it helped me change the language in voice search to English and turn off "ok google". I use the phone in a different language and I also had it in voice search.
Hello fellow HTC u11 life friends -
I found this thread by Googling, so hopefully others will find it too. I have also been having this very annoying problem for several weeks. Can't remember when exactly it started. Was it after an Android update?
This problem appears to be related to the Google app settings on the phone, as the previous poster suggested. When I read his post, I went to the Google app settings (Setting --> Apps --> Google) and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but I noticed that there is a setting called Display over other apps. This was set to "yes" by default, so I changed it to "no". Since I made this change yesterday, I have not had the white screen flash once.
It seems like the Google app is being triggered briefly for whatever reason and then closing. By not allowing the app to display over others, if the app is triggered, you won't get that brief white screen like the app is about to open. At least, that's what I think. Fingers crossed the fix holds. I hope this works for others. Let me know!

Before I call you a genius, I still have to wait a bit (and of course hoping)
I just turned off different things in the Google App "show notification for ***"
In this case *** was for Price Alert, stocks alert, sports alert and so on.
Furthermore I disabled the "display over other Apps" as well.
I could imagine that this latter feature doesn't have to be turned off completely, rather than turning off all those useless alerts for stuff I've never even looked for.
Will try to go the next days to see, if that blinking is gone and if soy trying to activate the feature with almost no alerts in order to determine, what the exact culprit is.
Disabling the feature totally might do it, but if for example some alerts were useful, then it would be nice, if at least they worked out as supposed to.
Will keep you guys posted.
Fingers crossed ^^

Tried this method and so far (1h) no flashes. Sounds reasonable, that Google is trying to send some notices to the screen and that functionality is somehow bugged. I'm fine with turning off ok, Google. Have never used it anyway. [emoji28]

Are you using the built in Camera, or some app?
I got 8.1 too but no changes. Have to admit I'm using Google Cam Port. Might be that, because otherwise I've turned off kinda all notifications, but it's still flashing.
As mentioned earlier, I should do a full wipe and use the built in cam and such, but I don't really like it.
I'll see, when I find the time to wipe and set it up again...

Hi there
I have a question for the international users of the Magic 2. I have not yet owned a Honor device but had several Huawei Mate devices in the past. The ones which I had from China always had the issue with delayed/not syncing notifications, for example Whatsapp etc. It only got better with the international firmware on it.
Does the Magic 2 also have this issue, seeing it only comes with Chinese Firmware?
Thanks very much!
I have the HM2 and I haven't experienced any issues with notifications, using Whatsapp, Telegram or whatever.

I have had a different experience unfortunately. Some apps only seem to sync and receive new notifications when I open them.
I've tried adding the problematic apps to "unrestricted data access" (despite it saying this should not effect notifications) to no avail.
Hope someone else has a solution!

That's exactly what I was afraid of, I also know this from my previous Huawei Mates.. well I have placed the order now already for it.. so I guess I will have to see.
Go to settings->apps->apps->WhatsApp(for example)->power usage details->app launch.
Change to manual and enable all. I think you can then switch it back to automatic.

These problems usually originate with power consumption settings and launch settings, if you let it run in the background and launch itself, it should work perfectly.
In any way I use Whatsapp regularly and it seems working fine with the default settings I had when installed.

And this
Most people that are having issues with notifications are totally unaware of the the aggressive battery saver on Huawei devices. You need to manually allow apps to run in the background and not be killed by the battery saver. Unfortunately the settings are but hidden and some time there are more than one option to were to do so.

Hi,
As we now probably all know, the Global version of this ROM lacks a lot of features : no gestures, no dark mode...
But even without those missing parts, it is still irritating...
Here are the three things that are bothering me :
- 1°) the notifications : I have 2 SIM cards inside that thing. It constantly reports that I have a new voice message. But whatever SIM card answering machine I call, tells me "You have no new message". I erase the notification. I keeps popping up again...
- 2°) the dialer : when I get a call, I have to swipe up to answer it. On every other phone, a short swipe is enough to answer the call. On this device, I have to swipe up to the top of the device for it to understand that I would like to answer the call...
- 3°) whatever I do, the default app selected for SMS messaging is not kept after a reboot. I use Textra. I select it as the default app. Each time the phone is rebooted, I have to tellit that I want to use Textra again as default mesaging app.
Do you guys have those problems also ?

It's not a real problem or bug, but really irritating
I have some more:
I know it's nitpicking buuuuut
1. When watching YouTube vids and touching the triggers by accident, it brings up the scroll bar and does not go away untill you let go of the triggers.
2. Can't silence notifications.
3. Unreliable OTG USB file transfers (gets stuck)
4. When increasing the volume on Bluetooth devices, it only goes up by 0 or 2
5. My alarm clock never works
6. Switching between Sim Cards is super slow
7. Searching for settings is difficult
And some more things that I can't think of the top of my head.

Hi,
Hum... That can be sorted I think
1°) About your thing with the button triggers : install Button Mapper. Open it. Choose to add a new button and tap the left or right trigger button. Once created, say you don't want any action to be configured. You should be good to go
2°) You can silence notifications. But you have to do that under "Notifications" and not under "Sound"... Go figure !!!
3°) Hum... Have you tried to format your card to another format like FAT ? I don't use that feautre so I can't really tell.
4°) Yes. I think that is true. But will try to confirm later when I'll use it in my car audio.
5°) Mine works... I think.
6°) It is not unusually slow here...
7°) The way they organized the settings is just... super stupid.
Conclusion : I think I will try to install the chinese ROM and root it to see if I can use that with better results.
Hi,
Another thing is totally stupid to me : that is the fact that you cannot pin an app to stick even if Recents are cleared.
So I can have gestures enabled because the stupid people at Nubia removed that from the EU/US ROM.
But that requires access to "Accessibility" services.
As soon as I clear recents, that feature is disabled...
And as it is gestures => no more control over device !!!
SHEER STUPIDITY !!!!
All in all, I think I will return the device within the next 3 days within my right of withdrawal.
Hardware is brilliant. Softwa
I will be returning mine also. Such a shame the software sucks.

Let us know how that goes. I've seen several posts on other forums complaining that Nubia is not answering emails when it comes to returns and RMA's for the Red Magic 3. Some have started disputes with Paypal to try and get their money back.

I tried the button mapper app but it's not working. Can you provide more info on how you did it?

how did you return it?
I have no return option in order details
also how did they accept it if you used the phone? they say in their policy that the phone must be unused

As long as you return it in the first 15 days you can return it used or not, and I emailed their customer support to return it

I am returning mine as well due to these software issues, and I received the same response about DHL. They did not say they would not take it even though I had used it, they agreed that I could return it because I was within my 15 days. I would assume as long as you didn't damage it (screen cracks, water damage, etc), they should still be able to process the refund.
For me, GLS is the courier. Never heard of them.
I hope if they get so much people returning the device because of it's lousy software, they may consider improving it...
Let's wait and hope...
Anyone had their refund yet?

Hi,
As we now probably all know, the Global version of this ROM lacks a lot of features : no gestures, no dark mode...
But even without those missing parts, it is still irritating...
Here are the three things that are bothering me :
- 1°) the notifications : I have 2 SIM cards inside that thing. It constantly reports that I have a new voice message. But whatever SIM card answering machine I call, tells me "You have no new message". I erase the notification. I keeps popping up again...
- 2°) the dialer : when I get a call, I have to swipe up to answer it. On every other phone, a short swipe is enough to answer the call. On this device, I have to swipe up to the top of the device for it to understand that I would like to answer the call...
- 3°) whatever I do, the default app selected for SMS messaging is not kept after a reboot. I use Textra. I select it as the default app. Each time the phone is rebooted, I have to tellit that I want to use Textra again as default mesaging app.
Do you guys have those problems also ?
Regards.

I notice these weird things too but doesn't bother me too much. Coming off several other Chinese devices lately these are not so bad and hopefully get dealt with by a software update or by someone here.
Have they ever fixed the touch trigger issue with YouTube?

From version 2.07 to version 2.10 on YouTube, triggers did not fix!
