Double Tap Gestures Control
Overall POCO F1 is a great and easy to use for so many people with revamped POCO launcher.
Double tap to wake and Raise to wake features are working fine.
It is difficult to lock the screen always by pressing the power button.
If Double tap to lock and long Press Fingerprint sensor to lock the screen is present then it will be more user-friendly.
Please add those features in next update.

There is a shortcut that if you press a navigation button, it will lock the screen. I have it on now. I press "backwards" for a second and the screen goes off.

Put a screen off widget on the home screen . It is a system widget so doesnt create issues or battery drain.
Display feature
Found this feature in MIUI. When you expose the sensors to bright light(sunlight or torch), the screen tints to light color. For example a black UI turns to grey UI on exposure to light. It's not auto brightness because i never use auto brightness. I have tested it on a Redmi Note 5 pro and the same thing happens on it too. I am not sure how useful it is for people using this phone.
Overall it's great and fast as a bullet, but I found one thing.
When I scroll page up and down, if the "reading mode" is on, you can see red color dragging behind letters on page. Especially if it's white text on black background, night or dark mode in some apps. So much so, that I had to turn reading mode off.

Snappy but slightly juttery due to that, would prefer stock miui 10 animations rather than the sped up ones. Themes don't work properly either
Notifications issue on lock screen
my notifications won't appear on lock screen after unlocking the device. 1st it's show up then the 2nd time it's gone even though i didn't open the notification.
why??
please help me.
the MIUI is convoluted for me, I've been using Xioami phones for almost 4 yrs now, (Mi Max, A1, and Poco) there are many unnecessary bloat in the software making the UI tedious to use most of the time, notifications are limited and needs a little tweak, unlike stock android, notifications works out of the box, also another minor annoyance to me is the Poco launcher, even after changing the icons, some keeps on return to their squary look, ruining the looks, but all of this can be solved by just flashing a custom ROM which everyone will do here in XDA

Notifications are an issue on MIUI - if you pull down the notification shade once you unlock, I believe they stop showing on lock screen. Even if you haven't opened the notification. This is not for all notifications but I did notice this happening.
Screen Touch Issue
The screen responds for other than human skin touch like headset wire, cloths and other stuff when u keep the phone in the pocket without lock also opens the apps due to body touch,
It annoying and irritating

Thanks, will do
Basically I hate MIUI the main reason for me which convinced me to buy this device is the SNAPDRAGON 845.
MIUI is the worst UX I've ever had on a phone. There is no logic in the settings, so that I end up searching for everything instead of navigating as I did on every stock device. You can't see notifications because of the badly implemented notch. Background services are being killed for no reason (i understand the need with the non play store Chinese apps though).
Also I don't get all that bloat on the phone. Nasty facebook app, some xiaomi calendar, notes what ever app. And all the apps asks for permission, they don't actually need. And why can't I disable most of the apps, nor can I fully delete them (without root). Also, you can't block them from sending notifications. LineageOS here I come
The only nice thing IMO is the notification dropdown where I can see current download speed, data being used today and data left on the plan. Luckily I can install LineageOS in few days (due to that unlock time period one has to wait).

Try Using a launcher that will help you change the UI of the device.
i'm use various xiaomi phones but the only one i use miui is original mi note ( don't have CM support lol) MIUI is crap to my eyes and heavy bloated, notifications don't show for no reason. Always on AOSP and LOS.
there is a option for lock screen " Double tap to lock screen" option available under home screen & Recents menu
4K 60 fps + Bitrate 100Mbps for third-party video camera applications
Will 4K 60 fps support appear in third-party video camera applications?

flashing gingerbread to galaxy tab p1000 is a nice idea. It opens many app compatiblity to the tab. But its full of issues compared to froyo. I'll share my issues.
first the goodies
Those who still having odin flashing doubts quote here i can give you a beginners guide.
I am going through every aspects. Some are previously discussed but some are not mentioned in any other threads or forums i think. Please share yours too if any.
I flashed gingerbread european version xxjq1.
The best thing i noticed was booting time. of tab went down to less than half on froyo. Very fast booting. Also booting sound changed to a nice music though its not a big deal.
Lock screen is the same as froyo as i expected something like galaxy s2.
But you can set different wallpapers for your home screen and lock screen which was not in froyo.
Home screen is looking same but its samsung home 2.3.3 version. Icons on the home screen dock is changed. Browser icon changed to green. Except that nothing looks changed on home screen from froyo.
Now comes surprise. The notification bar became extremely smooth compared to froyo. Flawless. But not as smooth as galaxy s2 or better devices like that.
Over theme color changed so the notification bar icons color also changed to a more dark green. Best other thing about notification bar is, if you have an ongoing call minimized the bar
looks crystal green lighted. Its awesome to see which is missing on froyo.
Another thing which i think very handy is music player got integrated into notification bar.
When music player is running you can play/pause, previous/next, fast forward/backward straight from notification bar. Big improvement.
now technical
Task manager got updated. There is one more tab named downloaded.
Your newly installed programs are listed here. So dont have to go to settings applications.
Ram manager changed. There is no stage 1 stage 2 option. Only one button clear memory. I think it is good.
Stock browser's change should be admitted. Its like wow. I assure you no other browser you installed comes even close to its user interface. I am writing this now in it. It bacame buttery smooth to navigate. Not a small lag when scrolling on a big content rich page and switching to new tabs. There was no lag to scroll even when youtube was playing in desktop mode with flash. Even my desktop firefox lags a little to scroll when playing hq youtube but our tab aced.
Also there is a memo button and phone button integrated into browser menu bar which is very handy. Overall browser is awesome.
I forgot to mention before there is no new stock wallpapers.
Now about music player the onboard virtual 5.1 improvement is incredible.its like wow compared to froyo. Plug in your headphone and you will notice.
In settings the battery info has greatly improved. There is a graphic demo of battery use.
And ofcourse battery consumption DECREASED much much much. I have to say that beacause i had a problem with the battery. When its about 40%-45% it suddenly dropped to 3% and shuts down in 3-5 min. But now its completely gone. Plus i assure you that you will be amazed with the battery capacity of our great tab.
When using camera the preview has been improved much. Its like flowing when scrolling through pictures. Plus quality of recorded video increased much.
now the media storage system improved much. As i mentioned tab became fast, media scanning also became much fast. Sdcard thing changed to usb storage on gingerbread. Plus there is a progress bar in notification for media scanning. Thats good beacuse we couldn't see progress before.
Call setings is having more options than before video calls voice mail etc on the first page itself.
The stock video player codec improved much. Before i had a brrip mp4 movie showing unsupported format. But now it works smooth. Plus video player became smooth overall on playing.
Anyone with more goodies please add. I'll add more when knowing. I wrote all this for those who want to know changes before trying gingerbread on their tab.
By issues, I assumed you meant problems/bugs/incompatbilities. Are you saying there are no disadvantages to doing it? I've a forgotten XEU tab. I keep hoping Samsung might officially offer GB but the longer it goes the less likely it seems.

Ofcourse there are disadvantages. I was little busy two days so i cant finish. By issues i definitely mean bugs and problems.
Yeah, now comes the problems
Starting from the beginning, the power on is having little problem. On froyo you have to press power button for like 1 or 1.5 sec and release. Tab will power on after one more second. But now I have to press it until it power on. I don't know if its bug or not but for me its annoying.
after booting here comes bigger problem. The four button leds on bottom never turns off until screen goes off completely. Even if there is 1% charge the leds are on. And ofcourse it doesn't turn off when playing videos. Its really annoying like if you are watching a full length movie in a dark room you have to keep starting at these led and its really annoying.
but I have found a solution. There's a widget named buttonbacklight in market. it requires root access. But very useful. And if you turns off screen and on it again led lights again. You have to turn it off again. but that's not hard as starring at those leds all the time. Plus you can cut the led brightness to half with this widget. Great for dark environments. Thanks to the widget maker.
I forgot to mention, the light sensor now works perfectly. on froyo it takes some time to adjust the brightness on changing lighting condi tions as it has nothing to deal with hardware. but now its fine.
Now comes a big problem. The camera is having real problems on autofocusing. you can't use the camera to take shots close by two or three inches on a dark room by autofocusing and flash. You will get only a bright white picture. this was not in froyo. It was perfect. so you can't use the tabs camera to capture text in a dark room. I tried it on black surface also but no use. Its not for completely dark but with limited light also. Set the flash to auto and if flash is needed to take picture then closeups are not possible. I think this is not mentioned anywhere before. And the flash turns off after focusing. Not good on dark rooms as you can't see any
preview.
Sorry I forgot to mention before, there is a big improvement also for the camera. There's TOUCH FOCUS added now.
On froyo there was four options on USB settings. but 'ask on connection' is absent now.
Its very hard if you connect your phone for different purposes frequently as you have to go to settings and change it.
Now comes another problem for media. On froyo music or video pause when you disconnect headphone or what that is connected to 3.5 mm jack. This is good and is present in gingerbread also. But it pauses when you plugs headphone or whatever into the jack. This is annoying but not too hard to deal with.
The gallery app has not improvedand became worse than before. Its very slow and lags to load files. I expected rotation animation on switching landscape portrait modes.
although the Codec improved on video player, its user interface became hard to user.
You can't set brightness for video if your phone's brightness is set to auto. so if you're watching a movie and you want to increase or decrease brightness you'll have to exit video and change brightness. Not on user defined brightness. But very annoying when brightness is auto.
And the screen rotation animation when you switch between two landscape modes is gone. It was a little eye candy.
Another problem is also very annoying. On froyo there was different two different icons for downloaded and downloading tasks as there was a little animation for downloading ones so that you know something is downloading. But now there's no animation for downloading and both exactly same icon. There's only animation for something that is installing. So if you wanna know if something is downloading or the download is complete, you have to pull notification bar down. very annoying if you left something downloading and came to see if its complete as you have to unlock phone and pull down the bar.
Get back soon.little busy.
ram
ram usage is much high than gingerbread. I've got upto 120mb ram usage in froyo. But gingerbread usually use 190 to 200 mb all time. U have to use task manager apps to clear some apps and bring usage to 150mb. But memory management depends on apps independent offree ram. If u run an hd game with a download in some heavy browser, ur download 'll cancel because the game force close browser for resource.
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
Hoping to get feedback on user experience with the Mediapad M3. I have not seen a post for this and just purchased US m3 64GB - waiting on delivery.
It would be great to hear from you on the following:
- Are you pleased with the purchase?
- Country
- 32 or 64GB, LTE
- Stock or custom ROM
- Expanded storage size
- What you like most about the device.
- In reading through threads here, seems most everyone loves the hardware and build quality.
- Firmware updates have corrected issues seen early. Settings adjustments and launchers help too.
- 5ghz works if device is rooted and file tweaked
- Unlocking and rooting are possible but not as clean as we've seen with other devices. Untrusted screen popup on boot is annoying.
I will likely use stock and be hawkish for updates and would appreciate your insight.
Thanks in advance.
John
Just recently bought this and had it for an hour.
Compared to a couple of other tablets I own, I'm blown away by the sound quality so far (Its really loud..)
Located in USA 64GB on Stock rom latest update.
The main feature I look for in tablets is the expanded storage so it's a plus.
I like the size, weight wise it's not so bad, screen is bright indoors (Some people say it's not enough)
I'm saddened that this device isn't really popular, it doesn't have custom roms or kernels but I can make do with it with what ever it has. Besides that I have a OP3 power horse for anything else.
As the name suggest for this tablet it'll literally be only for media like books, manga, videos, and music(?).
You won't be disappointed and will be more eager to use it when it hits EMUI 5.0 and it's Nougat update :]

Thanks for the response! Great insight.
Did you get the firmware update when booted up or did you have to check for updates? I agree on Nougat and EM5. Come quick. ?
I have had Nexus devices since GNexus. Nexus 5, 7, 10, 6, 9 and 6p. Of these, the Nexus 9 had been the most disappointing by far performance wise. The sound is decent for movies and videos. However, been waiting for the right replacement and do hope this is it.
Thanks again.

It already had the update when I got it. Bought it used (like new) on Amazon. It's really snappy and kinda big for my small hands but a better keyboard fixed that right up. Using thumb keyboard and the layout fits very nicely when typing in either horizontal or vertically.
Performance wise you just need to switch it over to performance mode and you can forget about it being sluggish.
Have been looking at this as a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 whose battery is slowly failing. The specs look great but the lack of development is kind of concerning, I love trying new roms on my android devices.
I've looked at the root and twrp threads and it looks like things have progressed to the point I can be confident of having a rooted device I can take nandroid backups of. As long as I can have root and put Action Launcher 3, TB, and the other basics on it I should be happy.
Now I just have to debate whether an extra $50 for the 64gb version is worth it considering I'm coming from a device with 16gb.

1. Yes. Very little traction on development. Would love to see this pick up.
2. Good progress on rooting. Wonder what the unlocked warning page looks like...but only want to see it once.
3. Action Launcher 3 is great & I will install even before rooting. I run Action 3 on my 6P.
4. Spend the $50 - you get a headset and twice the storage.
Mine arrives today. I will post feedback once I give it a spin. If the IMUI 5/Nougat beta program is open, I will register.
Too loud

It is loud indeed, unfortunately too loud for me. The lowest volume is the same as 50% on my Galaxy S6.
I've tried Fine Volume Control V2, which works great on my phone. But on the M3 you have to open the app itself to adjust the volume. Using the volume rockers resets the volume level.
Is there any other apps I can try? Thinking about returning it and wait for WMC.
Hi,
I'm also interested in buying this tablet, but I have some concerns:
1. I will be using the tablet 100% in landscape mode. Can I lock the rotation to landscape (*without* third party apps)?
2. In landscape mode, is the navbar to the right instead of bottom? Can it be changed to bottom in the settings?
3. I saw that it supports gestures on the fingerprint reader. Can the navbar be disabled in the settings, so only the gestures can be used? Can *both* be disabled (since the fingerprint reader is right where you hold it in landscape and it will get accidentally pressed) so I can use a third party pie control?
4. Is the lowest brightness low enough so you can use it at night without any problems (and *without* software filters)?
5. At the lowest brightness, does it flicker? Using a white background / picture, when you wave your hand / finger, is it continuous or "framed"? See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ru474L8N15w
6. Can all versions be rooted & TWRP installed, or only the US version? I will buy it in Europe. Can Xposed be installed?
Thanks.

6. Can all versions be rooted & TWRP installed, or only the US version? I will buy it in Europe. Can Xposed be installed?
Thanks.

This might not be the tablet for you if not rooted with ROM. Others may know differently but this is what I have found.
1. Landscape locking: if you use a launcher like Action 3, you can lock in landscape. However, this does not lock stock settings menu.
2. Landscape horizontal nav bar: no but you could turn them off. This is a phone OS with little thought of limiting phone centric features.
3. Disabling nav bar and finger print gestures: you can turn each off independently but not at the same time.
4. Brightness or dimming are fine. Low setting is low.
5. No flicker at lowest setting.
6. See the post of rooting devices. I think all can be rooted. Unsure about Xposed.
There's also a built in pie type control.
I pulled the trigger on the 64gb version today. It's $20 off at newegg this weekend and my son had given me a newegg gift card for xmas. Bought what looks like an ok case on amazon - will be looking to see if seidio/trident/otterbox come out with one in the future.
Now just have to wait for my new toy to arrive .

You are probably talking about the home screen orientation, which for most launchers is by default locked to portrait.
But are you saying that, if you hold it in landscape, the Android settings is still in portrait?

Correction: Actually, system settings display in landscape. I had the portrait screen orientation setting locked.
If you don't have security enabled, does touching the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off turn it on?

But can you lock the orientation to landscape? Or it behaves like a (giant) phone: either auto-rotate, or just portrait?

I could not find a way to lock it with stock launcher. It can be locked in landscape with Action launcher and ADW launcher.

You can turn off the fingerprint ID so that it does not unlock and wake. However, the fingerprint touch pad continues to allow gestures once unlocked. I have not found a way to turn off security. I think I read you need to root before you can do this.

I'm not talking about the home screen (which is launcher dependent), but the "global" orientation.
For example, you're holding it in landscape with auto rotate on. Open Chrome. Swipe the notification shade, go to toggles, then toggle auto rotate off. Does Chrome remain in landscape, or it switches to portrait?

The button in the only has two options, auto rotate or portrait. So it locks both the homescreen and apps to portrait like lots of phones do.
Had the same problem with my old Galaxy Tab 7.7 and had to use an app to fix it.

@finduz answered this as I understand it.
Hey friends
I really don't like the navbar which is reducing the screen to much, so I decided to install J Touch app from playstore.
Loaded a nice looking home button jpeg picture from the web. Give the button a one hit back function, a long press home function and a swipe up for recents.
Please see attached pictures navigating is nice and I whish I could even eliminate the navbar on the homescreen

Keeping one icon appear on the screen all the time may cause burn in I'd be worried about that

No I don't think so. There is transparency setted, the button is popping if hitted and it is shifting up on home screen. You could be as scared or even more about a status bar burn in...
and look how much time is needed:
"Test Results
The iPhone X displayed burn-ins before the Galaxy Note 8 at 17 hours. However, it took 510 hours for the images to become permanently etched on its display which also marked the end of the test.
Compared to that, the Note 8 took 62 hours to show first signs of display burn-in, which is impressive. However, it had permanent marks way before the end of the test. The Galaxy S7 Edge showed signs of burn-in sooner than the iPhone X, however, it showed permanent burn-ins much later than the Note 8 and almost at iPhone X’s 510 hour mark."

Ok so would you recommend the app over navigation gesture? The gesture is not polished at the moment I'll give the app a go

I think so, you can also activate temporary move, which is helpful is s.th. is hided by the button. So you can move the button away for two seconds. You can hide button always in landscape, it is hiding when you are keyboard typing... it is perfect for 18:9 displays.
If navbar would have a one button control too, I wouldn't use J Touch.
You can also give it an iPhone look but ok I guess everybody is hating apple .
Edit: Ah ok you mean gesture. Sorry I didn't have this option until now.... don't know what is better
Looks like a nice app. I prefer LMT Launcher though as you can set it to do almost any task and only comes on the screen when you activate it so creates a really clean look with extra functionality.
Or you could try Gesture Control from Conena.. I'm very happy with the way the gestures work

Have you been able to use lmt with stock os? If so, I'd like to know the secret for getting rid of the nav bar
Not sure. Not really a fan of stock. From other forum members, it's possible to disable it with the joneplustool app. Both that and LMT require root.
I've been using Swipe Navigation. It even has long press functionality. Loving it so far.
That looks bat **** ugly, why don't you just download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en ?
In my kg g6 its eating battery like elephant ??
Xposed Edge anyone?

Its real really full screen as far as I can tell
The very top of my screen is the Twitter bar. The punch hole is centered on that but obviously the screen cap won't capture it so I drew it.

You could also use Monument Browser which has had the same feature for a while, has a desktop application for windows and has a lot of features that are difficult to find. However it's a nice step for the Samsung Browser
most of the browser will make a black broder where the punchole/notch ist, so this is nice
This is an irregular practice, yet it makes the telephone simpler to deal with, while keeping that Infinity show looking sharp.

This doesn't work with all apps. If the app has the capability the OS won't Force the status bar, otherwise the apps will continue to performance like they have before. Most apps don't support a full immersive mode because in previous versions of Android it was built into the OS and apps didn't have to support it.
Edit: I should rephrase that because I'm not taking into account the knotch area that didn't exist when immersive mode hit android. It seems immersive mode ignores that.

This is what i mean... The statusbar becomes a black border and the screeb behaves like before so no more screen area to use
Samsung browser beta just became my default browser again. Wish edge would implement this. I was pissed when they removed it so now I'm a happy camper that they've returned the feature.
