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?

Hi all
I just bought an S7 edge after trading in my iPhone 6S. Overall, its been a great experience. However, the 'Always On' feature seems little more than a glorified clock.
I was surprised to see there wasn't already an app or tweak to customize the 'Always On' screen. Ah well, maybe I should make one instead of complaining (I'm a computer science student, not an Android expert by a long shot but have done my fair share)? So off to find a way...
Technical Overview: Going into the settings, there's an option for setting a picture with a black background to stay 'Always On' instead of the usual clock/call&message counter thingy. This looks very promising. Might even be a little too easy. How about an app that runs in the background and replaces the image with a custom one. So say a whatsapp message arrives, the app draws the message on the custom image and viola!
Okay so maybe it wont be THAT easy, since I suspect the phone just reads the image once on locking and doesn't continually update it. That would make sense after all. Still maybe a refresh can be forced, will have to look into this.
Feedback? This is after all FOSS development, so I'm loath to do start anything without community feedback. Do you guys think this will be useful? Any other comments , suggestions etc. etc.?
Also first post on XDA; long time lurker though.

need root for that?
Exactly what i was looking for!

I'm definitely optimistic about this. Going to give it a first attempt when I find some time later this week.
Also, root will probably be needed if the wallpapers are on system files or if a reload has to be forced to view new notifications. Maybe a less functional mode can later be added which doesn't require root.

I like the always on display idea. But turn it off, because of a lack of features.
So yes, i would definitely love to see some development on this!
I too would love to see something along these lines
I'd be happy enough if I could just choose my own AOD image without making any changes to the clocks!
Would love to see 3rd party app notifications on AOD, more customizable features would be awesome

there is already lots of AOD similar apps with customizable notification display
I've developed an android app for bringing Always On to all android devices with AMOLED screens. It's called "Always On: Ambient Clock" . And it is highly customizable.
I can't post a link now since I have only 5 posts but you can search for it on Play Store.

Cool, just tried it. being able to see the battery % would be great too. and let it move around the screen like it does on the S7, so it wont burn the AMOLED. Plus add more features, will be a great replacement AOD :good:

My question is; is there anything special Samsung is doing to get extra battery life out of their AOD? I understand the big advantage is from the AMOLED, but is it just a case of any image with a lot of black has the same advantage as Samsung's AOD? Or have they triggered something special to get all those pixels off. And what about processes that need to run to display the AOD? I assumed that was part of the reason why Samsung's AOD was so minimal in what it can display - because those were basic things already running on the phone and didn't create any extra load.
Basically if there was something special about Samsung's AOD, it would seem to make sense to expand and develop that and build on their existing battery optimization (whatever that might be - special screen setting or special minimal process in the background etc). Otherwise bring on the third party apps!

i think as long your screen is dark thoes pixels will turn it self off BUT i dont know how much more third party AOD apps will drain battery because it will have to be running in the background even the screen is on? but i think the samsung AOD it triggered on of when it detected that your screen is off so it wont drain battery on background service while screen is on(im just guessing this cuz its part of the system it would be easy to trigger it on and off instead of let it run in the background)
It needs the ability for everything being displayed to move around. Stationary is not the way to go. Worse for displays.
Also needs ambient light detection so it can switch brightness on the go.
Lastly on Samsung devices the wave to wake feature stops working.

Burn-in issue was fixed in the last update. Auto brightness is on my todo list of updating the app. Backgrounds might cause an additional battery drain but I will consider adding simple ones with black backgrounds.

Great job.
And what I was saying is on my s7 edge I can use the wave to wake feature and the pocket detection.
For the s7 edge it waits a few second before turning off the always on display when in your pocket.
You should set a slight delay for the in pocket activation. Or make it less sensitive. There must be a way to make it happen.
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?

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.
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...

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.

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.

My fingerprint reader is noticeably faster and more accurate.
Looks like they have optimized the memory as I asked for I have a lot more Ram after closing every thing, I used to have 4.50gb ram now after just updating, I close every thing and I now have
And I Re registered my fingerprints inline with the fingerprint scanner update and it does seem to be alot better , just need better lock screen notifications I.e bezel border colours and I'm good to go, off-topic but has anyone got a YouTube substitute that allows you too use your YouTube account but let you use a different player I.e MX PLAYER OR VLC PLAYER or even a later version of YouTube that allows you to set the playback resolution you've set and keep it at that value, because I always have to change it from the default 480p which is so annoying, plus.. On my vivo v9 in the third part display options YouTube used to be in there which stopped you from always having to stretch to fit screen, but on this phone and the funtouch version YouTube is not in there for some reason, I'd just like it to stay stretched to fit screen instead of having to do it for every God dam video Grrrrr, any ideas would be appreciated.

I second that fingerprint has surely become fast.
Can some one explain if the global and chinese version is follow the same content in the updates or is it simply different ? I mean... according the the numbering the global version is some versions behind compared to the chinese roms ? is this correct that the chinese version seem to get faster and more updates ? (this is usually case with most chinese phones that the global version does not get updates as fast.
Got the update, too.
Battery life and SOT same?
They have also added a video editing option album.

Battery consumption is too high after this update. 20% battery loss within 15 minutes. No video or game played.

I lost 9% in 4 hours over night. Rebooted the phone. Charged back up to 100%. Phone has been running better then before the update. Battery seems better for me. Try rebooting.

Mine are still there.
Battery has definitely not worse, upgraded if anything.
Not sure if this is a bug due to new update but when I get a voicemail notification and I click to check the voicemail I get a message displaying "tips call not sent, no valid number entered". Anyone else facing this issue?
Well guys from Vivo forum someone has uploaded new control Center panel from Fantouch 9.0 UI.
http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/thread-4345771-1-1.html
It said that it works fine with 6.13.13 Pie software version of Vivo Nex S.(After applying installations restart your phone)
I've tried it on my Dual Display device with Pie and doesn't working properly as gesture navigation is not working any more and after few minutes of installation,also control center swipe gesture from the bottom also after few minutes doesn't work.
But you can try by yourself with Nex S as I'm still with 8.1.
It's easy to uninstall If doesn't work on you by going setting all app-system app and find Control Center and press uninstall updates,restart your phone and everything back to normal as before.

Can you please provide the apk, can't download the control center!
Edit: Nevermind I managed to download the new control center.
Does not work on Global Version. Probably because we're still on 8.1

okay but personally i like the new control center ui better, it matches better with my google themed phone! with power shade and VoluMIUI looks better then the old transparent control center.

After few days can you provide feedback of how Pie on Nex S perform especially battery life.
It's the same as 8.1,worst or better.
Also did you do dirty upgrade or clean install??
That's very important especially with major upgrade.

dirty flash, performance of the new pie version is great. i´m not a heavy user but i can tell you battery life is fu.... awsome, i get with the phone 3 days standby by near 9 hours sot in my use routine.
if i use the phone heavier, I am convinced that I can reach the 10 hours.
system settings, no bluetooth only one sim card and wifi + mobile network in combination, no battery saver activ, apps i use are, browser, google clock, Nova Launcher, buttons remapper, phone, Fluid gesture navigation, whatsapp, twitter, instagram, google assistant, banking app, youtube vanced, amazon, ebay etc.
yeah i´m satisfied, however pie is yet not perfect like oreo, there are minor bugs but they are little not big deal, and the only thing is we can´t theme pie with andromeda and vivo don´t provide deep black theme thats ridiculous, 3rd party support too we can´t use aod, clone app etc.
I love my Chinese Nex S this thing looks beautiful has enough power, and great display and a big battery. i pray that it last a long time i wanne keep it as long as i can. don´t need other phone. it has almost all what i need (LED notification is missing ) and it is futuristic. that´s my opinion.
if you all here don´t like what i write, keep it for yourselfs i don´t give a f......
I totally agree. Pie also brought the possibility of using the screen in half with all the apps and not just a few like with Oreo. The battery lasts for me 7 hours, only 4g, bluetooth with clock connected, Blokada as a VPN block, whatsapp and telegram always synchronized. The only difference is the AOD that has not implemented any external app. I hope Paatha13 insists with Vivo to have this option implemented.

I forgot. I went from 1.23.5 to the first beta of Pie. Then to 6.13.4, finally to 6.13.13 without ever formatting (I have the phone since November). I'm sure that formatting the battery could last longer.
---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------
One problem I find is that when I pick up the phone, the screen does not turn on instantaneously for unlocking but after about 1 second. Does it happen to you too?
Thanks for the details feedback and impression with Pie upgrade guys.
Good to hear almost everything is very satisfactory.
As for AOD and third-party app notification our only hope is Fantouch 9.0.
But again Pie brought much more customization option with AOD and that's welcome movement from Vivo.

Hy everybody
I installed the Android Pie Yesterday and I'm very disappointed by the battery management.
I usually use my phone 2 days without charging it but this evening it goes down to 40% with a low usage.
Is there a way to setup the power management in order to return to normal ?
