How to enable new things from Android O - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there people
I ve just up dated my 6p to Android Oreo
But the notification dots and the pic in pic mode are enabled they don't seem to work or may be i am not doing it right if somebody can help me. I ve checked the dots in each app but still no luck. Aside of this the software is working perfectly fine with alot of bugs gone and i even feel it smother

For picture in picture mode to work, you need to update the Youtube application, and I believe you have to be a Youtube Red/Google Play Music subscriber for it to work.

when subscribed in pic in pic it only worked there!
but not in any other App

The are few apps that implemented it yet, video calls on WhatsApp, YouTube only with red subscription, videos in chrome (not youtube) and VLC player I believe

Google Now Launcher doesn't support notification dots. Download the Pixel launcher or the Lawnchair launcher if you want them.

I tried this and it worked . Pic in pic mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZwLwO7T5Bg

Youtube + Panel dont work

Hey Guys!
First i wanna say, great site
I got a problem with the youtube app and panel which i can download here. I installed the youtube app and the panel which came from this url.
The problem is, when i click on the youtube app it doesnt load, and when i use the youtube panel the screen turns white and nothing happens.
Have u guys got any ideas? Thnx in advance!
greets, Frank
Hi,
I don't have tried the panels, but i have tried a few different youtube apps for X1.
After installing these youtube cabs, even my WMV codecs which came shipped on my phone were currupted. The problem was, that the youtube cabs installed their own codecs and they have overwritten my original ones.
I don't know, if there existing a youtube app which is compatible to X1, but i recommend you don't use any youtube apps, until anyone gives you a link with functional app
I had to Hardreset my X1 to get the original codec of wmv on its place
i hope there is anyone who can post a functional youtube app link
best regards

You should've followed the link and actually read a bit in the youtube app thread instead of creating a new topic :>. Or use the search function of this forum. It works well, I know .
Sounds like you do not have an english winMobile 6 Rom?
You have to change the *.[numbercode].mui in the windows directory to your countries code to get the application working.
Codes and more infos in the youtube app thread. just take a look.
hmmm, right my windows mobile is not an english one...
As i had installed the app, there was no info like that, i think it was too early when i tried
thanks a lot, i will try it again; ofcourse reading instructions
Heh, i have the very same thing. I guess when the title says 'working youtube' i wont bother reading >5 pages just to confirm it really works.
I cant decide it is common logic or lazyness .
hehe ye thnx! It works now =) I just needed to change the filename.
Problem however, i cant see any movies through the app. After a few seconds i get the error: " Error: Cannot play this video ". But the video's work fine when i go to http://m.youtube.com.
Any comments? =)
Heh,
today I went to my favourite F1live website (I'm a real F1 fan)
And was really HAPPY to watch video right from the page with sound!
Damn

Heh, i thought i had it working too, however, same thing as you have. I can scroll, search and pictures show up and all. However, when i want to play a movie. It say's "Error: Cannot play this video".
God, this is driving me nuts.
Youtube with Opera Mobile only works on 50% of the vids', its very choppy too.
Youtube with KinomaPlay works, but its choppy when in landscape and you'll have to pay for the full version to have more then 10 search results.
Youtube with Coreplayer works, but its buggy and crashes ALOT.
Youtube with youtubeplay works, but its only low/med-quality and the interface is very simple and dull.
Man, it will never change
Until we'll have a full Flash support for WM,
not FlashLite 3!

I need help with Instagram app

As we know, this device comes with a "brilliant" feature called image stabilisation. You can turn this function off in the camera app. But somehow in Instagram it still remains active. Not only does it crop the images and videos, but it also makes the quality worse. My phone is rooted and I tried to use root explorer to find an .xml file in which I can turn the stabilisation compeletely off. I had no luck, and I have no idea how to fix this problem. Can you please help me? It's really annoying...
Other apps like Facebook, Snapchat don't have this problem.
Thanks in advance
did you try disabling the image stabilisation ,uninstall instagram and install it again?

I had that problem too , but it didn't bother me . When I taked a photo on instagram it resize it again at the right resolution .
If my phone was not totally dead , i would find a fix for this but unfortunetly I screwed the phone up and can't use it anymore .
Hope you find a solution

That's the case with pictures yes. But with videos it stays the same. Thank you though!
I'm really trying to find a way to fix this but I can't find one. Soooo annoying
I also have stabilisation in facebook Messenger...

PiP Still Not Working - Official Android Oreo

I haven't been able to get Picture-in-Picture working since I've been on Android 8 - DP2 all the way through DP4. I've been hoping that when Android Oreo officially released that it'd fix the issue but I just upgraded and still can't get it to work. Has anyone else found a work around for this?

Yeah, is a YouTube Red subscription (or whatever it's called right now) still necessary?

People on Reddit claims that it doesn't work on YouTube unless you have YouTube Red. That's a shame
I read somewhere VLC added support for o pip

Yes, and it's working for me
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they don't have a reliable / user friendly way to make ads work well while in YouTube PIP mode. Too bad, especially because 1) it's a #$%@ move. 2) YouTube Red is only available in select countries.
I am still getting the forced reboot when you have PIP for YouTube playing and then toggling the screen off and on. Anyone seeing this too?
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
It works on Duo, so I would try that and if it works then you'll know it's a YouTube v YouTube Red thing. I have Red and it works fine so I can't test this for you.
I also have Youtube Red, but it forces reboot for me if my screen is turned back on after it had turned off or if I turn off the screen while Youtube is playing in PIP mode.

I can confirm this happens when I use PiP as well. Can't let the screen turn off....
Have submitted to Google.
I have it working fine on Youtube Red.
Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.
Here is a list of apps on my phone supporting PiP

Out of curiosity, what does PIP do for WhatsApp? Is it also for videos only?

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:

Thanks for the hint - sounds very promising. I tried installing it, but no "Notchkiller" menu entry in developer settings. Do you have that working on an OP8P ?

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.

You're losing Widevine certification when you're unlocking the bootloader..

So you either watch HD with a black bar, or SD full screen. Great...
