[Q] Does this HAM7 have lockscreen notifications built in?

Hey guys, Just wanted to ask a quick question about if the HAM7 has a default built in notification system for the lock screen. I have done many searches on xda and the web and couldn't find any info on this. Anyone care to help me out? Really interested in buying this phone but this was one of the things I was most curious about. I know there are other options like dash clock widget and other 3rd party apps, but I don't even know if widgets are available on the lock screen either! Help me out!
Thanks!

Hi turbo, yeah it does.

Awesome thanks!! Any chance someone could show a screen shot of what it looks like? I have the nexus 5 right now and the lollipop lock screen notifications are functional but not the most elegent of design. Any captures of what a text or email notification on lock screen would be so appreciated!
Thanks!

Really? Mine doesn't (L09), I'm using NILS to see notifications on the lock screen (not talking about the icons in the status bar.)

Are you sure we're all talking about the same thing? I think the OP means notifications in the style of the new Lollipop. Not every phone has these, they're not standard in Android up until 4.4 afaik, and have only been introduced for stock Android in 5.0.
Again, I'm not talking about the icons in the status bar, but about banners on the lock screen.

@vonotny - You're exactly right! I didn't get true lock screen notifications until Lollipop on my Nexus 5. The model I do plan on getting is the L09 and I assume this does not have the lockscreen notifications? This is kind of a bummer... does AC Display work?

Okay, now I get it. And you can set lockscreen notifications for WhatsApp and Facebook. But you don't get all notifications on the lockscreen, which is what you'll need something like NILS for.

What is NILS ?

Notifications on lock screen, it's a good app, but imho defeats the purpose of a lock screen if people can read notifications on top of a lock screen. It works well though.

Aha, my friend, it seems there is after all something I can teach you
This is NILS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
Shows you notifications banners of ALL app notifications either on the lock screen or as a home screen widget. Very handy, especially if you have your lock screen protected and can't swipe down the notification bar. It's like the lock screen notifs in iOS and Android L, has been around for a couple of years (since JB, I think).

Yes, no problem for me. I was trying to solve the OP's problem

text selection drag indicators behind keyboard

This issue is driving me insane and I can't figure out how to fix it ....
I am using Gboard right now because I can't stand Sammy's default keyboard .... Plus I like the integration of translate etc ...
Anyways the problem that I am having is with the drag indicators for the text selection being behind the keyboard at the very bottom ... this is also the issue when trying to select text for spelling correction.
I switched back to the Sammy keyboard to verify the same issue .... No joy ....
It makes selecting text extremely hard to deal with ....
See the attached screenshot .....
Any fix for this .... ?

Very strange. I just tested on mine because I love Gboard, and mine doesn't do that. On my screen, the little indicators float to the front layer and actually enlarge and shrink when I grab them. Do you have the latest version of Gboard?

Does this happen in all apps? Which apps where you using in the screenshots?

Mine does this. Can't stand it.

Yes I am running the newest version of gboard so I don't think that is the issue I have also tried to disable gboard the behavior is the same using the default Samsung keyboard .....
The behavior is encountered using WhatsApp and the default text message client pre-installed with the default Samsung TouchWiz.
Also just tried typing a message with telegram and the results are the same.......
However while using the xda app for posting this message the issue does not seem to exist see the attached screenshot.

I just fixed the issue ......
As I suspected it was a screen overlay issue ...
The app causing the problem was navbar ....
Uninstalled the app and the problem went away.
That really sucks because I like the idea of being able to choose my own colors and all the extra features that was included with navbar....
I guess it's back to the default software button colors until navbar development can fix the issue ....

Good find thanks for the update.

Hiding Nav Buttons without root.

Short of it is that my phone came from GS with OEM unlock locked. I want to love this phone but hate lack of viewable screen. I read that Nova Launcher can hide the Nav Buttons but I have 5.4.1 and cannot see where to turn on the function.
Thanks in advance.

It's supposed to be in beta, but I don't see option for nav and I'm on beta

[HOWTO] Enable notification badges in Poco launcher

Open system settings. Type 'notification access' in searchbar, open it and enable Poco launcher.

I'm missing the count number over the icons.

I'm missing my battery percentage and the ability to change fonts. Otherwise no real problems with this phone yet...
Mind you, it's been less than 24 hours since I got it but been playing with it for a solid 8 hours...

Search for zikko in themes store and you'll solve the issue with battery percentage. You can even use just the status bar from that theme if you don't like the entire theme.

Oh yes, I even sent this as a suggestion from the Poco launcher feedback form. I believe more of us should do this.

Thank you so much. This even added more toggles in the expanded status bar. Now I've 14+sort instead of just 11+sort.
By the way is there an option to change sound profile (sound/vibrate/silent) with the same button like with other android phones. The only way I can have VIBRATE ONLY is if I enable both the silent and vibrate toggle. Kinda stupid and annoying.

Yeah, I thought it was broken when i first saw it without number )))) Now, i'm used to it .... Although it feels empty, my OCD says it needs at least a black dot in it, if not number.

Since then I've updated to the MIUI 10 beta rom, it has % inside the battery logo, but there are some themes available to fix that so battery % is bigger and displayed beside/ instead of the battery icon...
Like this phone, Quick and not too bad. The theme I use has a black background that hides the notch well but displays the few icons we have there...
Hope you're enjoying your experience as some have had hardware issues that I haven't experienced.
Cheers...

Official Android P Rom discussion

Hello all,
So I believe most of us should have the Android P update by now. I'm intrigued as to what you all think.
Sadly, the update has downgraded the experience of a great phone. Here are the issues which popped up for me after the update:
- Very slow fingerprint recognition and unlock
- Android crashes when you turn off wifi
- A noticeable drop in performance speed all round (animations are slow or clunky, apps are slow to open or to load)
- No digital wellbeing app which is a major part of Android P
- Unable to install Pixel Launcher 9
We spend quite a large amount of our time using our phones and ever since the update, the whole experience has taken a hit and now, and it's very noticeable. I'm desperate to get off this phone now, which is sad because, before the update, The phone ran beautifully without any dramas.
What do you guys think?

Have you done factory reset? I don't have any of the problems you say.
Digital Wellbeing is installed. Do the search in settings and then you can add it to the rest of the applications (there is a switch to do it).
The only problem I find is that the adaptive battery is not in place. I have to look for it in the settings. In the videos I saw of the taiwan rom it seemed that it was in settings -> battery, but in the European one it didn't. Not a big deal, but there it is.
I can't tell you anything about the pixel launcher because I use default HTC Sense.

No I haven't. I don't have the time to reset and and restore everything. An update should just work and not require a factory reset.
I managed to get Digital Wellbeing working but it needed some effort. The version from the Play Store wouldn't let me download it because, apparently, it is incompatible with the phone. Weird.
Anyway, so I had to download the APK, install, download Activity Launcher, install, then use Activity Launcher to show the Digital Wellbeing app in the app list and also allow it usage permissions. Then I was able to use the app.
Another issue which popped up after the update I forgot to mention above was that the navigation bar at the bottom has reduced in size, which is good, but unfortunately it still behaves as if it was the same size as before, so when you're typing and you press the space bar, it sometimes thinks you've pressed the home button and takes you home. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING.
One other thing which I've realised is that you're unable to use the new Android P navigation bar because HTC have their own version of the navigation bar (which is dated now) and this cannot be overridden. Another annoyance.

Sounds like you should just sell your u11+ and go buy an iphone.

Ha! Extremely sound logic. I bring up issues a recent update has introduced and your suggestion is I sell my phone and move to a far inferior platform. You really are a shining beacon of brilliant intelligence. Bravo to you, good sir.

Hi guys,
Anyone experience WiFi connection with hidden SSID? My newly update U11+ unable to connect to hidden SSID, but it is okay with broadcast SSID.
Please help. Thanks.
update:
Sorry guys, my stupidity didn't check the setting properly at the bottom of the there is setting the mentioned if it is hidden. checked the box , viola it is working now. Thanks.

although I was a little annoyed with some of the changes at the start, such as clock now on left in status bar (the rest I forget tbh), overall I love it.
same speed as always across the board; apps, animations etc. with plenty of apps/files loaded.
1 thing that's really stood out for me has been the (learning) adaptive brightness. it's just awesome!
and so are the colours. screen looks so much better since pie, very impressed.

I think it is a good idea to factory reset when there is a big version change. For small versions it is enough to clear the cache.
Regarding digital well-being, I have been able to update it directly from the play store.
I see the navigation bar well. It doesn't frustrate me. I think it works correctly. And Android P gesture navigation would like to have it as an option but I'm sure I would change it back to the traditional method, so I don't worry too much.

I was just poking fun at how unhappy you seem to be with things not working.
Post-update issues are pretty common, and though annoying, nothing to get too worked up about.
Just wipe and move on, it's not so bad.
This is a forum of tinkerers, after all.

Totally happy,sorry.Plus i've been able to use Quick step module(oneplus recents).I love the UI and i haven't noticed any issues whatsoever.Sound mods also working as they should.I like it better now

Haven't met all the issues you're describing! My U11+ is working fine with Pie, just as it was with Oreo!

Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?

About The same.Slightly better.Adaptive brightness working better in pie,giving a little bit of juice.Overall i like it more now.Plus,with Quickstep recents it's awesome

i am finding this pie update very good...the phone ui looks more fresh now, the auto brightness works perfectly and i noticed a huge improvement in battery life...and i can finally use last gcam version for incredible shot!
