I installed pie yesterday (need to flash ruu and after that do ota etc.) and everything is working fine. Hotspot works at 2.4 and 5 GHz, adaway works fine systemless (need to check this option in Magisk), mobile data also works (LTE +, VoLTE). Maybe you did something wrong?

Since upgrading my single SIM UK HTC u11 to Pie the notification cards in the drawer are doubling up for some apps. I've noticed this with Sonos Controller app and Google Maps commute information notification. Its like there is a notification within the notification...

The hotspot is working fine for me (3.31.401.1 and Cid 34).
I have a huge battery drain due to Google play services and the location is bit slower than Oreo (takes more time to show the current location).
I have noticed some scroll issues in YouTube and Twitter.
Sense companion is not counting steps correctly and some days there is no notification with the steps resume.
Digital wellbeing and adaptative battery are hidden (you have to search for them). I think they should be into the settings menu.

Where is adaptive battery hidden? Only place that I could even remotely find it is in developer options and even then it is just the bucket options for the apps.

Anyone who wants to see "Adaptive Battery" in your Battery settings install:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/device-health-services/
That APK. Then go back into your battery settings and you should now see Adaptive Battery. So it does exist but highly possible HTC "forgot" the APK to "enable" it since this update does look to be a bit "rushed".

In the search box under settings search for "battery". The 2nd or 3th result says administrator (sorry, I use Spanish and I do not know how it appears in English).
What you say that shows under developer options is the state of the apps that the system manage.

In English "Battery Manager" . So now there are two odd ways to get this adaptive battery, fyi installing the APK also gets access to adaptive brightness. It changes auto brightness to adaptive brightness.

CleanROM 4.5
I had it on the original One X, if you remember there were some issues with RCB in the early days of that device. I recently have moved over to the One XL and have had no issues at all with RCB.
I'm running CleanROM Dev Beta 4.5
Perhaps the problems people are having has to do with the new AT&T OTA?

Go into your list setup. Press "Add". Scroll down and select "Add private and withheld".
The description reads: "Includes anyone calling from unknown, private, restricted and otherwise withheld numbers."
I am having some issues with root call blocker, basically I have it in hidden mode and when I type in the password it loads a black screen with the menu bar and nothing else, the menu bar is unresponsive. Will continue trying to send logs.
Also I am running nocturnal limited edition ROM if that helps.
EDIT: It seems if I clear my data I can get into it for a split second but once it is granted root permissions the screen goes black, I lose service, sim card has to ready itself again, and the same issue as I stated above happens again.

But aha! So, after doing a recovery install, call blocker wasn't doing its job. So, I restarted the telephony service, super user then asked to grant it access. We'll see if it works. But prior to this it wasn't even in the super user app list.

I have tried to fix this apparent issue, but on our one x everything works fine. Have you tried another launcher? Or another rom? I only say this because rare issues like this are really hard to track...

Something along those lines. I did a Nandroid of my ROM with Root Call Blocker on it. I flashed a few ROMs but decided that CleanROM was the one for me. So I flashed it back through recovery.
Upon doing this, SU never asked to grant permissions for RBC, nor was it on the list of approved apps. RBC then let a few "Unknown" calls through."
I cleared cache, deleted the app, reinstalled it, but nothing. SU was never even triggered. After I went through the Settings and restarted the telephony service in RBC's settings, SU asked to grant it permissions. So, perhaps that's a fix for anyone who's not having their calls blocked?
Never mind haha
How much does it cost after the trial ends?
EDIT: Never mind I see there is a pro version. A little too expensive for me. I probably wouldn't use it much. If it was like $3.49 or around there I could see buying it. Anyway, sounds like a really good app. Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure that clicking "enable blocking" counts as a fix.
I didn't say anything about enable blocking. I said restart telephony is what I clicked. Enable blocking was checked off and the app wasn't working.

What you are saying is that somehow the app never had root. That is not a problem with the app, but rather with the user.

If you say so. But clicking/unclicking Enable Blocking did nothing to trigger a response from SU. Not to mention, prior to the recovery, it worked just fine. Hitting the "reset telephony option" changed that.
But hey, if you don't want people trying to help you with YOUR bad programming (for free no less), that's on you. There's other apps in the market that don't have this issue and do the same thing.

I have tried other ROMs and even a stock build. I've cleared cache, etc. but am still unable to get anything to show when I open it. Unfortunately I have tried everything I can think of to get logs but have been unsuccessful. When I first install it there is no problems other than having trouble getting root at first. Not sure if logs from that stage will help since the issue doesn't occur till I set up hidden mode.

NXT-AL10
OK I'll go with the L29 than.
Hi at all in the general page of Huawei Mate 8 in this forum speak that the problem isn't the Mate 8 but new version of Android, and change same option solve this problem, try to see it
Update from the new firmware B137 for AL-10. It seems the push notifications for FB messenger, whatsapp are working better now but gmail and viber doesnt. You still need to open the viber app to get the messeges or turn on the screen to get the emails... Tested after restarting phone and left it on sleep mode without opening any of the apps. Battery mode set on perfomance. If set on smart doesnt work. But the problem comes back if you free up the memory.
The other problem with google map still remains. It cant determinate your possition on network and wlans (battery saving mode) only if you switch to gps (high accuaracy)
B137 Update
I just updated to the B137 update, and I was able to get notifications from viber, twitter but not from whatsapp or snapchat so therefore I decided to update whatsapp via the hi app as it had an update. I updated it and after was then not able to receive any notifications from viber or twitter either. I deleted the whatsapp and re installed it again from the one in play store and was able to get twitter and viber notifications back again which was strange but i am still unable to get notifications from whatsapp and snapchat. ive checked permissions and notification settings between the four apps and they are all the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I downloaded the OTA, but if I'm running Bad Boyz 8.0 rom, do I have to flash a RUU first or can I install this over Bad Boyz? Its systemless root using Magisk.

if you have root and twrp installed you can't, flash the oreo ruu(which will wipe you phone)and return you to stock then you;ll recieve the ota and go from there.

It has been said many times in the main thread, but here are only a few (I sold it because HTC is not going to fix anything):
Cannot disable the led into do not disturb mode
Digital wellbeing is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Adaptative battery is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Battery problems (I lost 1,5h SOT)
HTC sense companion is not counting steps (I think there was a new version of the app THREE months later to fix it)
Those are which I can remember and were persistent after factory reset and even after re-flash the RUU.
As I said, I sold it two months ago and I never will buy another device from this manufacturer.
I have a sprint model that i unlocked,since the update i can't use hotspot, i tried ##72786# it just gives me a menu with 4 options that i can't change.
Is there a way for me to get hotspot back?

Android Auto doesn't work

Hi,
Android Auto on my Jeep Renegade doesn't work properly with Realme X50 Pro.
When phone screen is off, Android Auto on my car goes off.
When i turn on screen phone, Android Auto on my car work fine.
any fix?
thank you
just an update: under developer options i can choose "never sleep while charging". It works, but not really a fix.
I think its more RealmeUI/ColorOS' aggressive background app killing. Try to disable all the power saving options related to the auto app, allow it to run in background (not their "smart background" mode) etc
Same issue on my Realme X50 Pro
I have exactly the same problem with my Realme X50 Pro (EU Version). I tried to turn off different battery optimization settings but i couldn't configure the Android Auto app specifically since it is a system app.
Is there a HOWTO to turn off all battery saving options in Realme UI?
No issues for me. But I did turn off the smart power optimization for Android Auto and also turned off App Quick Freeze for all apps. I have the CN variant.

Do you have the option to turn quick freeze on/off for Android Auto? I can't see Android Auto in this list. Probably because it's a system app in Android 10 (with GApps).

Overall it's pretty good. The CN ROM is better than I thought it would be. I honestly can't tell that in in it. There's no Chinese language anywhere.
I do have a few issues.
1. I use Google messages and replacing the stock messages app with this was a bit tricky. Needed to use ADB to disable the stock app. Then and only then, can I set Google messages as default. However, every time a message comes in, I get a pop up telling me that so security reasons I should use the default app. Annoying but something I can live with.
2. I do not get notifications from certain apps. I guess this phone has a very aggressive battery management and as a result not all apps run in the background to give push notifications. This could be phone specific and not variant specific.
3. I use a mileage tracking app called MileIQ. This app is currently not working as it needs access to my Physical Activity. However, it does not show up under the app permission for me to grant it. Also, when I check the Physical Activity settings, the app does not show there either.
That's about it for issues.

Overall it's pretty good. The CN ROM is better than I thought it would be. I honestly can't tell that in in it. There's no Chinese language anywhere.
I do have a few issues.
1. I use Google messages and replacing the stock messages app with this was a bit tricky. Needed to use ADB to disable the stock app. Then and only then, can I set Google messages as default.

I'm facing the same problem on my X50 EU version and it's quite annoying. Is there maybe any hidden activity, adb command or anything else to fix this?

Thanks man, I've already got the OTA update. Haven't tested it sice, but nice to know it's fixed

Question Mix Fold 2 Tips & Tricks

Here are some things I've learned and/or used to solve things and make this phone how I want it in the first month of so of ownership:
- install all the Androplus magisk modules
- if you search for "more dark mode options" in settings you can choose to force whatever app you want into dark mode. this one took me awhile to figure out
- if you are rooted and have any problem getting notifications use the app DozeOff from the Fdroid store
- if you want to see screen on time install digital wellbeing from the play store, no app will appear installed but you can use the app activity launcher to open it, then in settings you can choose to have the app appear.
- for some reason forcing desktop mode in chrome android does not work for me after turning the chrome flag on, but using the app Chrome UA forces chrome to display websites in desktop mode as default each time instead of mobile
- use vivid navigation gestures so you have gestures with a 3rd party launcher
- if you want to use a 3rd party app and hide the nav bar, use the magisk module Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures q-t, us the androplus modele Hide Status bar to get a truly fullscreen phone when unfolded.
- are you not getting the latest MIUI update and also want to stay rooted with magisk? install MIUI downloader from the play store, grab the latest software there you want the full version. go to miui updates in settings and tap on the icon 10 times, you will now have the option to flash update files. install the magisk module MIUI flash freely. you can now flash a full rom update from the file you downloaded. flash the update but don't reboot. go to magisk and install magisk to inactive slot OTA. you'll now have the latest version of MIUI and won't have to wait.

How to install MIUI updates manually / early - xiaomiui
Xiaomi continues to release updates for their devices but sometimes these updates may take longer to arrive than normal. With this guide we are going to teach
xiaomiui.net
just follow that, then you have to install the magisk module to be able to install the local file

Phone updated on its own. I had to reboot to turn on the setting to press 10 times. When I rebooted. It was on the new firmware but I'm not rooted anymore

You have to turn off auto update in Developer Settings.

So now I have to root it again like I did the first time rooting?
Yes. Auto update must be disabled both in Settings and in Developer Options. You can manually update, but to preserve root you must carefully follow the instructions knives of ice and I have posted on the forum.

Is your Android Auto working?
Anyone else had issues with voice calls sounding absolutely awful for the other person?
Apparently it sounds like I'm under water and doesn't sound great at all. I then recorded a phonecall with someone and can confirm that my end sounds absolutely awful.
I'm in the UK and using Giffgaff if that counts at all.
EDIT: Had a SIM from Three arrive that I ordered 'cause I'm off to the US next week, just made a phonecall with that and the quality was a typical normal quality, not an underwater sounding mess. So whatever it is, it's something to do with Giffgaff and the phone (it works perfectly fine on my previous phone).

Do you have VoLTE enabled? The VoLTE toggle appears in Settings/Mobile Network/SIM if coded on your SIM Card. Some SIMs, like those from T-Mobile, allow this automatically. With some carriers you have to get around the fact that this is not an "approved device" on their Network. Use the dial code * # * # 86583 # * # * to disable carrier check and the VoLTE option will appear. If it is working you will get an HD symbol before or above your cell signal bars in the system notifications tray. Without VoLTE enabled, even though you are connected to a 4G or 5G network, voice calls fall back and connect on the old 3G networks. To see if you have correctly enabled VoLTE look at your system notifications tray and note what you are connected to - ie 4G. Now place a voice call and see if it stays on 4G or whether it changes to H, H+, HSPA, or 3G. If it drops, then you don't have VoLTE enabled. If the code to disable the carrier check doesn't work, you can unlock the bootloader, root with Magisk, and install a VoLTE Enabler module. Voice quality on 3G is poor compared to VoLTE (which carries voice calls over 4G or 5G). The Americans have shut down their 3G towers so you won't be able to place voice calls in the States unless you get this settled. Alternatively, when you land in the US you can connect to the airport's WiFi and download the Google Voice app, get a free American phone number, and you can then place free phone calls in the US and Canada to American and Canadian numbers, and for just a few pence call home. Google Voice uses mobile data, so it will work anywhere in the US over 4G or 5G data. Unfortunately GiffGaff doesn't have any roaming arrangements with US carriers (it only has EU roaming partners), but if you have picked up a Three SIM, their Three Go Roam should work. If "automatically connect to preferred network" is enabled in the Settings/Mobile Data/SIM of your phone, then it might try to connect to AT&T which could be problematic. I have a Canadian SIM and the dial code to disable carrier check and enable VoLTE works with Canadian carriers, but on a trip to Colorado last week I couldn't make voice calls as the trick didn't work on the AT&T network which uses a "whitelist" of approved devices for VoLTE. T-Mobile doesn't, so I changed the phone setting to "manually select network", waited for it to search, and then chose T-Mobile. I then had VoLTE back and could place voice calls. Let us know how you made out with voice calls in the US. EDIT: I just checked with someone in the UK and GiffGaff doesn't support VoLTE at all as they push all their voice calls over 3G and VoLTE is Voice Over LTE (4G). Three, Vodafone, and EE push their voice calls over 4G in the UK.

Can you share how you rooted this phone? Coming from a person who doesn't know how to at all
Hi,
After months of sitting on the fence, I finally purchased the phone and taking delivery of it the next couple of days. Coming from a 1st time user of Xiaomi and foldable phone, I would like to ask a few questions if I may:
1) Unlock the bootloader - waiting period of 168 hours.
So during the waiting period, can i start using the phone normally and transferring my data over?
2) After waiting period is up, I will start installing Magisk via patching method to root the phone. What are the list of Magisk modules and what are the must-haves to install for this phone? I don't drive so Android Auto is not required.
3) When can i start running the ADB commands to uninstall the chinese apps?
4) Is it a must to disable MIUI optimizations in order to enable horizontal split? I read somewhere that there is a horizontal spilt mod?
Thank you for taking the time to read and clear my enquiries. Really appreciate it.

You can use it normally. Just make sure you log into your xiaomi account and dont log out during that time or else it will reset the timer
2) After waiting period is up, I will start installing Magisk via patching method to root the phone. What are the list of Magisk modules and what are the must-haves to install for this phone?
I would recommend androplus module for the global conversion and universal safteynet fix
3) When can i start running the ADB commands to uninstall the chinese apps?
as soon as you get the phone. Just make sure you dont remove the wrong one or else you get boot looped and need to factory reset
4) Is it a must to disable MIUI optimizations in order to enable horizontal split? I read somewhere that there is a horizontal spilt mod?
I dont know of any mods to enable horizontal split so im pretty sure it is. MIUI optimisations has given me more problems than features though so im fine with having it off (other than my keyboard getting reset every time I reboot)

As ThatsJustLogic said, be very very careful with what you erase. My first go I deleted xiaomi cloud and I kept getting an error pop up every 5 seconds.
In terms of modules, it’s really up to you and how you want the device to look and feel.
Thank you
ThatsJustLogic and​Glesi2323 for the kind advice.​
Hi, surprised no one has mentioned this but.. There is no way to customize the app grid?? It only has the default 4x5 option and no way to change it, am I missing something? Is there a way to fix this without rooting, etc?
