No, but it will in the future.
No

Hmm than it probably will in the future, they must have updated the kernel for that to work.
For "real buttons" : do you have TouchPlus option on your Huawei p8 max? There are screen protectors for P8 that have buttons in them, with those screen protectors you can disable on screen buttons. But i dont know if they are available for Max, havent found them

Yes. I'm on v018 and it's 5.1.1. I think it was released last week.
No. I don't think the phone supports double tape to wake up screen. I tried it and nothing happens. I can't find any options in settings either.
Yes. In Settings/Navigation bar/Navigation bar ENABLE. When enabled, there's an arrow on the left of navigation bar. Click it to hide the bar.

Having problems getting google contacts to sync. I have installed Google Play?services from the Huawei app store, and all the other google sync happens OK (gmail, photos etc), but there isn't an option in the google account section in settings (all the others are in there).
Is there anyway to sort this please?

Hi there
Thanks for the reply, I've now sorted it, I didn't have Google contact sync apk installed, a quick search found it for me.
The only problem with the Bluetooth method you suggested is it doesn't sync any changes, but thanks for the help anyways.

I'm going crazy...
I had the same problem on firmware B130, now I'm on B161 and no more issues. Put Whatsapp in the protected apps, use the Performance profile. If that doesn't work, update the phone.
Hello,
I have a Huawei P9 Lite mobile Phone. When I make a whatsup call the screen switches off. I am not able to identify the status of call but I can speak and hear very well. The screen is back only when the person who I called cut the call or end the call. If the call is not connected also the screen goes blank and will return only when the ring tone ends.

Nubia Z17 mini notifications issue

Hello every one!
I couldnt find thread about Z17 mini. If i missed it please move it to the rights place.
I've been using my Nubia for 2 weeks and i couldnt set my notifications right.
Most of the time i get new messages on Whatsapp only when i open the application. I asked my Chinese Seller about this issue and All i've got was: "Dear. You can set your own."
If anyone can help i would be pleased.
Regards!

The problem with a Chinese ui is that it's killing the background push service. If you open recent apps swipe down the specific app and it gets locked. I guess you should have neo safe. In that you can setup power behavior for each app. Ignore background process of WhatsApp and so on and keep it alive in the menu.

This can actually be done, but it is a bit weird:
go to: Settings --> Notification center --> application notification --> down to Whatsapp
Enable all of them (or leave some out as you wish)
Also, in the current app overview (long press red circle) swipe down Whatsapp so it has a lock next to it. This will prevent the system from killing the service.
I also disabled powersaver mode and power saving control in the battery settings (below "other system settings")
Then I went into the NeoSafe app --> Power --> right top settings icon --> Background protection whitelist --> add whatsapp
Also in the NeoSafe I added Whatsapp to autostart: Permission --> Power-on speedup --> Enable Whatsapp
It might be that some of it is not necessary, but this works for me. Now I'm getting all the notifications as they come in Whatsapp
consider upgrade to latest OS build# NX569H_ENCommon_V1.07 shall fix all these issue
To get my messaging and email apps to work I've had to root and push the apps to the system. No problems now.
Thanks for All your answers.
Joren90 - I haven't even noticed NeoSafe app . I did what you wrote and I think it works!
*Do you know guys how to root this phone? Last phone I rooted was HTC one V.
*Will it get an official nougat update?
I'm currently using NX569J_ENCommon_V1.33 ROM version. Looks little bit Chinese
* One more question: Is it possible to get the notification counter on application's icon? I mean when I get a message on Whatsapp could I also get a "1" attached to WhatsApp's icon? Only rooting and getting extra app is a solution I guess?
Thanks again and have a nice day!

Official nougat ROM comes out in august for the mini.
For root u need to get the twrp script then flash the latest super user zip. This can be found here:
http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-910474-1-1.html
For the notification counter another launcher might work.
Thanks Mackay53!
Nice to hear that Nubia gets official Nougat update.
But since I have no "system update" option in my settings menu do I have to upgrade it myself via some app/pc software??
After almost one week using my Nubia with new settings I'm gonna share a little update with you:
*All the notifications (WhatsApp, email) are working fine and I have no problems whatsoever
*The quality of the phone, speed of the phone, quality of the photos and videos are great as for the price I bought it (250€).
Although I like this phone already I really want to... sell it. The lack of OIS is bothering me. In fact it doesn't have any image stabilization... At least it doesn't work for me at all. The quality of videos is great but all the "shakiness" is killing the nice feel of the video quality.

You can install the update by downloading the ROM from the chinese Nubia support pages or the EU version from the nubia India support pages. You then need to enter recovery mode when phone is off by pressing and holding Volume Down and Power Button at the same time.
If you install twrp and root you can install a couple nougat custom roms (mokee + reserection remix) instead of waiting till august for official ROM. Phone becomes a lot more smoother and faster.

Could I ask where you found the Resurrection ROM from please? Nothing came up via Google, thanks. How are the camera functions on a custom ROM? Could I also ask which ROM you're using and how it compares to stock please? Any bugs? Google apps working completely fine? Thanks!

We were talking about Z17 Mini. But I guess they're both almost the same when it comes to OS.
I get the notification counter ? No rooting needed. I've installed Nova launcher and TeslaUnread plugin . But then you have to allow both apps (Nova+ Tesla plugin) in your NeoSafe app.
Btw. How is your EIS working? Anybody?
neosafe enable
how to enable neosage in the 2.04 global rom?, since the same e is inactive

I'm using global 2.10 and if I close an app, even it configured in autostart or reboot the phone, the notifications do not arrive, I already did everything and it does not work, there is no neosafe on the global, how to solve it?
hi guys,
to allow notifications do the following:
joren90 suggestion:
go to: Settings --> Notification center --> application notification --> down to Whatsapp
Enable all of them (or leave some out as you wish)
Also, in the current app overview (long press red circle) swipe down Whatsapp so it has a lock next to it. This will prevent the system from killing the service.
then go to settings --> Apps and in the top right corner there are three vertical dots
touch it and choose auto-start management
allow Whatsapp or app you need and it should work even when the power save management is on
works on build v2.10

How can I get Whatsapp messages (to my phone) read out or displayed on my HU?

Hi all,
I have an Erisin 6046B Android 6.01 HU. The bluetooth integration works great, but I'd like to have the ability for Whatsapp (and SMS) messages that are sent to my phone, to be displayed nice and clearly on my HU? Or at least (in the interest of safety), read out by my HU?
I have used an excellent app called Drivemode on my phone before, which reads out Whatsapp and SMS - but obviously that would just still be on my phone. It would be cool if this could connect to the HU and read them out there through the car's speakers.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Force app to go full screen, including the camera cutout?

Hi all,
Does anyone know why it is that we can't make all apps go full screen? Too many just cut a black bar at the top where the camera is.
I've heard it's because of Android 10 and devs have to enable but I've used other Android 10 devices that allow you to force proper full screen on all apps. The inbuilt full screen apps setting only shows a couple of apps.
I'd also love to know if this is possible... It's driving me insane with the huge black bar cutoff.
Install the G- Visual magisk module
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/root-oneplus-6-6t-notch-killer-t3945193
Just use Netflix and Amazon prime older apks for full-screen
I have older versions of these two which let u full screen (even the cutout area ) if u install this version u can then select full-screen mode for these apps which drove me crazy with the same problem on my 1+7. Hope it helps all OnePlus 8 n 8 pro users
Just google Netflix 6.13.0 apk and Amazon prime video 3-0-246-15341 apk at least untill OnePlus fixes this issue u can find some peace with ur new device. And yes welcome to OnePlus :laugh:

Choose this one...
It appears like this..
I use the "None display cutout" module in the Magisk download section. Works just like the notchkiller by enabling in developer settings.
But seriously. My S10+ was able to do that natively. What is Oneplus doing

I'm on the standard OP8 and that G-vision module works but it pushes the clock so far left most of it is blocked by the camera. Is that normal? Is there a fix for that too?
If that doesn't work then at least I was able to push the status bar icons further up making the spacing look more even. So there's that.
