I just got my 3a a couple days ago. Sprint carrier, SIM locked, can't unlock the bootloader for a while. I installed the Android 10 December update this morning while sleepy by pure accident and now the color and quicksetting shape options in developer options are 100% GONE. I guess Google intended these options to only be for the Pixel 4 and that's why they're removed? But now I can't change anything I already previously set without a factory reset, something I really do not want to do.
Is there any way to change these settings over ADB?
I am very visibly upset this is a problem... Especially with a two day old phone. It's like "hey here's a cool thing you can do" and then two days later "oop, we can't let you do that anymore, sorry" without any mention of it in any changelog.
EDIT: okay, I'm dumb, this is in the styles and wallpapers stuff now, which I disabled the app for previously when I set up the phone since I had no need (nova launcher takes care of the wallpapers for me.)
don't be dumb like me, re-enable the styles and wallpapers stuff and the settings are in there now.

Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
Hello everyone,
I have my Nexus 5 since january. It`s been a really great experience.
I love to customize my N5. I am always changing icons, wallpapers and lockscreen looks.
For that, I keep looking for new apps in foruns like this, or Mycolorscreen, or Deviantart and etc.
One of this days, I found these lockscreen apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.optimus
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.sony
All of them are from the same developer. They are really beautiful, well designed and I was very happy with the look and experience that those apps gave me.
But soon I notice something strange when I first boot my phone in the morning: the N5 kept the home screen lit... It did not matter how many times I pushed the main button, trying to turn the scrren off and get the lockscreen working. I also noticed that the apps that usually open in the first boot were not getting started. Their notifications were not showing up. The screen kept ligthen up in my homescreen...
I was suspecting that these apps that were working properly before the installation of the three lockscreen apps above, were "fighting" with the new apps (the lockscreen apps). As the lcokscreen apps are from the same developer, I figured that they were the problem. So I unsitalled them. The apps that have always been working fine before the lockscreen apps have been installed are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rgruet.android.g3watchdog
and
http://www.amazon.com.br/MacroPinch-Bateria-Pro/dp/B0085YOD1A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399848399&sr=8-3&keywords=bateria
I have been using the stock lockscreen since then...
Today (May 11th), I found the following lockscreen app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qiigame.flocker.global
and decided to give it a try. And I loved it. It is a very beautiful lockscreen.
But after trying it for some time, learning how to use it... I reeboted my N5...
Unfortunally, the issue I (tried to) describe above happened again. After reeboting, the screen got lightened all the time. I push the main button and the scrren did not turn off. 3G watchdog, Battery and Lighfolw don`t show the notifications of starting up.
So, I am back in Nexus 5 sotck lockscreen!
I would love to use these lockscreen apps. But I don`t know what is going on. Can someone pelas help me???
I am sorry if this thread is confused. It is not easy to try to explain it in english. lol
I think this is just a case of buggy apps. I read through reviews for these apps from nexus 5 users, others are experiencing the same problems. The author of the last lock screen app you are using said to try going into the apps setting and choose "home button settings" and follow the three steps there, whatever those are, to solve your problem.
So far, my third iteration of setting up this phone (twice today) is working, so maybe I don't really have a question, other than "Has anything like this happened to you?", but I thought this was better in the Q&A rather than general discussion section. Mods please move if you disagree. I really did think about this, but couldn't decide where to put it.
I had to buy a new phone about two weeks ago because my S7 Edge's battery swelled up and bent the back of the phone's case. I wound up trading it in on a new S8+ (from Verizon). I love the phone even more than my S7 Edge, which is saying something.
Anyway, I like to use Samsung's themes to switch things up a bit, and I change themes every couple of days. I always search the theme store for new themes that are free. I've learned that most of them are crap, but you can usually tell by looking at the preview shots if the theme designer has gone overboard by using poor color choices/backgrounds in the dialer and messaging apps.
Ok, so first problem: I was playing with a couple of newer (free) themes:
1) Dark Night
2) [LSA]Shinny Moon Town Theme
I switched to the first theme and all was fine, but I thought it was boring, and kept looking.
When I switched to the second theme, I saw a brief message that some elements were incompatible and wouldn't be used, but the message went away before I could really read it carefully. The theme applied, though, and seemed to work correctly.
I liked the colors and style of this theme, but thought the folder icons were too ugly to live with, so I thought I'd just switch the icons back to the stock icons. Here's where things got wonky.
I went to the icons sections, picked the default Samsung icon set, and applied it. The folder icons did not switch back!
At this point, I panicked a bit and just decided to return to the stock theme. When I applied the stock theme, everything looked OK, but I noticed the Infinity wallpaper wasn't working - it just acted like a static wallpaper.
After web searching a bit, it seems this can happen if you set the Always-On Display screen background to not be just blank. I followed the steps in an online instruction for fixing this, but the infinity wallpaper still was not working.
At this point, I tried clearing all of the app caches (in Settings/Device Management/Storage) and rebooting. This did not help.
I then tried clearing the device's cache partition by looking up how to do that online. Timing is a bit tricky on holding down the power key, but after a few tries, I got it right, and managed to clear the cache partition.
Still no working infinity wallpaper. It really seemed broken, and none of the online suggestions I found worked at all.
Now, I realize this may not be a big deal to some, but it's a new phone, and I'm OCD enough to want stuff that was working out of the box to continue to work, so I decided to reset the device.
I did that, and got about 60% through my somewhat involved process in re-installing everything and re-enrolling in various services (iris scanning/fingerprints/credit cards in Samsung Pay/etc. etc. - you all know the drill).
When I went to set Smart Lock options for preventing the device from locking when I'm at home (Trusted Places) or the phone is detected on-body, I found that the Smart Lock screen was completely blank. No options appeared, and no button appeared at the bottom right to allow you to start the setup process for various Smart Lock options..
Back to Google, and I learned the fix was to remove "Smart Lock" from Trust Agents, reboot the phone, and re-add Smart Lock as a Trust Agent.
(PRO TIP: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO THAT).
After the reboot, I couldn't even keep the Settings app from crashing whenever I tried to visit the settings page where Security-related settings are managed. (Samsung's or Google's wonderfully irritating dialog box: "Settings keeps stopping" - yes, no s**t).
Clearing caches and the cache partition did not fix this problem, either, so I reluctantly and nervously reset the phone for the second time in less than 6 hours.
So, I guess my story so far is that this third time appears to be a charm, and everything so far is working great. I'm staying far away from third-party (non-Samsung) themes in the theme store for now, even though they'd always worked fine for me before.
I have absolutely no idea why I had the problem with the Smart Lock setup, though. Everything worked fine after the second reset as far as the Smart Lock setup and options, although I hadn't done anything in the previous attempt that should have interfered with something as baked in as the Smart Lock stuff. I hadn't even changed the default wallpaper or home screen setup yet!
Also learned my lesson about slavishly following steps on a website (Remove "Smart Lock' as a Trust Agent? If I'd really been thinking, this would have seemed like bad advice to me, but things weren't working right anyway, so maybe a bit of experimentation was justified, I don't know...).
Anyway, just thought I'd post my experiences in case they're of help for anyone searching for these type of problems. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this setup will "take", but I have to say my confidence in messing around with manufacturer-provided capabilities and content, using their built-in software and eco-system on their current-year flagship device, has definitely been shaken.
Hello everybody, Happy New Year to all! First post on here after a few years but I never left XDA without an answer till now. My question is about the color of the notifications and the Quick Toggles drop-down menu. I was on beta 3 (The *new* Beta 3, on Android 10) and my notifications and Quick Toggles finally became true black like I always wanted them to be. I didn't think much of it, just welcomed the change. Problem is, I then decided to backup my phone and install 10.3 stable, 2 days after it came out, via local upgrade. I backed up my phone and installed, rebooted and was greeted with a phone with all its data but reporting 10.6 (and having grey notifications and Quick Toggles). I knew that *shouldn't* happen and since I'd already backed up everything, I decided to wipe everything and reinstall. Problem was, the only rollback package I managed to find was 9.0.2 and that was after hours upon hours of searching. I installed the package via Local Upgrade and wiped everything from the stock recovery, booted into it fine and set up my phone. I then installed all OTAs back up to 10.3. Phone booted up fine and everything seemed normal. EXCEPT, for the fact my UI is pretty much how it was on Pie. I watched videos of OP6s with 10.3 having all black notifications and Quick Toggles and read posts from other users in Reddit and OnePlus forums where they either had the same UI as me or the all black one. I've read multiple, very differing accounts from users of the same phone on the same software and also noticed this inconsistency myself but I couldn't find a clear answer anywhere, no one seems to know how the UI is supposed to be and I don't know enough about how Android works to know what actually controls this part of the OS's looks. I'm starting to believe I did something wrong but although I've been through many roms, mods and magisk modules, I don't actually know what to do this time. Any insight, advice, help or guidance, would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Hello i have bought from banggood power 6 with Android 9. I have some problems. First i set up a live wallpaper which is an automate wallpaper changer. After reboot lost this wallpaper and put the factory one. Same with widgets after reboot none of them works and have to set up them again. Third many apps need accessibility on but when i activate them after all are deactivated by themselvesself. And last in notification bar some apps need to be run such as weather but after some time close. I know there is something about battery optimization is about and duraspeed but how can i deactivated? Please help me cause device is totally useless
I had Power 2 a few years ago and iirc it comes with a custom launcher right out of the factory.
It is not using a standard android, you will see most icons like settings and so on already ooking different.
It also hat a problem or rather a lazy-ness thing. The phone downloaded latest anroid and securitxy updates but did not install them.
I was pretty disappointed.
i would probably only use it with a custom rom from the behinnin but that also had some issues.
But my power 2 fell from 30 centimeters and stopped working.
I don't want to put a custom rom or root but if this would help i will do it but is it possible to this device?i searched it but no luck
