[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkonus:
Just got a new Mate 8 this week, and after not having a smart phone to use since 2010, I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far with my limited exposure . . . even fine with the stock EMUI interface too. :eek:

One thing I noticed right away was the phone's inability to rotate a full 360°. Left and right horizontal rotation is fine, as well as the normal vertical, but try to go inverted, and the screen did not rotate at all for the home screen or for any app I tried. Funny, because I actually had a Chinese phone back in 2008 called an i9, which had the same rotation issue for only the inverted position.

I tried turning auto rotation On and Off, rebooting, etc., but no help. I did not try any hard reset on the phone, but I did go to Google Play and installed a rotation app called Set Orientation. When running, using the app's Automatic (full) rotation setting, the phone now rotates properly to the inverted position on the home screen as well as the few apps I tried so far. This made me happy that the hardware doesn't seem to be the issue with it not rotating inverted.

I did a forum search for rotation issues, and did not see any threads for this specific issue.

So has anyone else had this partial rotation issue and maybe an easy fix for it?

Also, I was wondering if there might be any downsides to having to always rely on an app like this, as maybe it won't always be compatible with other apps which may need to have the screen rotate to the inverted position?

Thanks,

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdamocles:
If I seem to remember correctly, even the 6p didn't rotate a full 360 degrees. I actually think it is app dependant. I use this rotation control.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkonus:
Yes, I'm already using a rotation control app that has worked to allow inverted vertical rotation too, but I'm wondering why you believe it's not a bug, but possibly only about app dependency if it does full 360° rotation ?

I have to admit I haven't been too well up to date on Android devices and apps for at least 4 years now, and I know some apps want to prevent certain screen orientation settings, forcing the view in certain modes. However, it seems like some software setting is out of kilter, or even a bug to me for this particular partial rotation issue, not just about app dependency.

For instance, why would the home screen, with auto rotation turned on in the settings, allow for rotation to both horizontal positions, the normal portrait position, but not allow for an inverted portrait rotation?

Also, for even the internet browser apps, which from what I recall for several other Android tablets I owned years ago, they would all allow rotation to all screen positions for 360° when rotation was turned on, with this phone it wouldn't allow inverted portrait rotation, that is, not until I installed the Set Orientation app and used it. Do Chrome and Firefox for Android typically not allow for inverted portrait viewing unless forced by an orientation app or rooting the device to change system settings?

I did find that using the Set Orientation app it interferes with the factory installed camera app display when using the phone in either horizontal position, so I need to disable it when using the camera to take landscape images.

It isn't a huge issue, just a minor inconvenience (along with a couple others) which I came across but can certainly live with, because I'm really enjoying the phone so far for the most part.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdamocles:
Look at the phone/dialer App. I don't even think that allows any horizontal rotation or full rotation. Almost all lock screens on different phones don't allow rotation either unless you have a custom ROM installed. I just don't think it's a bug . I think it's done like that for a reason, good or bad. I think it may be a phone restriction because I think my Nexus 9 allows full rotation on some apps. You just might have to live with it.

I think the home screen doesn't rotate 360 degrees because who views phone stuff upside down?

For example, I had 360 rotation turned on for my phone/dialer app and if your laying down the App will go inverted . If the proximity sensor isn't quick enough and doesn't turn off your screen, you might hit the hangup button like I did one time.

Look, Netflix is landscape only.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
On a device with small and relatively symmetrical bevels on the top and bottom like the Mate 8, or my previous LG G4, it's very handy to just pick up the phone and use it, irrelevant of the orientation.

I never use the power button and/or fingerprint scanner so a simple double (or on the Mate 8 usually triple) tap wakes up the device and hey presto, use it as it is. Is it the "right way round"? Great. Was it upside down? Does not matter, use it like this for now as well.

So for that reason I would also like to have an upside down possibility (haven't installed xposed yet as I find the need for it not great enough, for now). Other than that I find not a lot of real disadvantages of having the possibility anyway.

Note: not all apps worked as planned upside down but the dialer, homescreen, browsing, etc. made no difference regarding holding the phone :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumanji:
Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has come across any Nexus 6 deals lately? The 32GB model was $250 on Amazon a few months back, so something like that would be great!

Just shattered my screen, so I am wondering if it's just more economical to buy a new device...

Cheers,

Su
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zfrnz:
Your device with a shattered screen is a nexus 6.... right? If it still works, I would say to just keep it in it's shattered state. If not, I would get it fixed or if you can wait for this possibly HTC made nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumanji:
Yeah it's a Nexus 6... the touchscreen works, but there is a massive chunk of glass missing over the sensors in the top right. The screen turns off and doesn't turn back on when on a call, and it's also sort of dangerous.

I had my phone set up perfectly, and I don't really want to upgrade... so ideally, I would just like to do a Nandroid back of the broken phone and restore into onto a new device (my bootloader is luckily unlocked).

Cheers,

Su
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
If you're looking at replacing the entire device, why not just try replacing the screen first? Apparently your digitizer is still fine... I think you can get the glass replacement for ~$20 online. It may be a bit more difficult to just replace the glass, but it's doable.

Best case, you're out $20 and some time... Worst case, the new phone cost you an extra $20 and some time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumanji:
I just need a fully functional phone again, asap, but thanks for the suggestion. (Also, as mentioned the proximity sensor appears to be broken, and that's presumably not easily fixable).

Cheers,

Su

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
My Droid turbo 2 went through the wash. I put it in rice for a couple days then sat it in front of a vent and hairdryer on cool. After starting it up it seemed to work, but later the vibration motor, speaker and flashlight don't work. took apart the phone as far as separating the back and front frames. All of those components are on the back frame. I cleaned all the contacts with alcohol, but it still does the same thing, works, but intermittent. Anything know what else I can try?
[ZenFone 2 General] Hank87:
Hi all, I would like to share with friends xda my discovery.

My smartphone some time suffered of lags opening applications or switching apps, so I made a trim through an application on the playstore, almost all the free memory has been trimmed, now the smartphone is far more responsive, even on AnTuTu the i/o score has much improved.

Should android 5 manage itself the trimming but maybe it's too infrequent?

In the app I have scheduled the auto trim every night now, so no more slowlyness.
[ZenFone 2 General] mr_gourav2000:
Please give playstore link of application.
[ZenFone 2 General] mickey36736:
I'm not sure. But it has auto trim as well.

Interesting. I'm gonna try someday.
[ZenFone 2 General] Hank87:
Yes, that's the app

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
POST ONE

App SMS when you send the message, as failure Most do not worry, because it successfully sent.

Suggest you search the roms thread for a fix .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-Ego:
JJEgan may be right! It prob did send. You can confirm this by either sending a test message to another phone like your friend's / family member's or by downloading another sms app like hangouts.

Goodluck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onnagan:
they received my text but.it say failed in our convo..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-Ego:
That's good. That means JJEgan was right, it works! It just tricks you thinking that it doesn't send. Letting the dev team know the issue may patch up the problem in their next release.

You should Thank JJEgan

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahamtan79:
hey. I'm a beginner and I think I made my phone completely broken. let's tell you the story; I wanted to root my device, after that searched a lot on the internet and decided to unlock it, unlocked it by HTC dev and it was alright. after that I installed TWRP 2.7.0.2

and got to recovery and installed superSU.zip after that I rebooted my phone and It got to system. I went to superSU and it said:"there is no binary code installed and...". I thought it is not rooted and after that installed it again and again and the same error from the superSU. I decided to install CWM and I installed the superSU from my phone storage and the same error from superSU after rebooting. I read something in another page of this forum that had my problem and I happily followed the introductions and installed the superSU from sd card and wiped cache and dalvik and ... . after that a factory format and boom the device didn't get to system after rebooting and just showing HTC logo and showing this red text in the bottom : "this build is for development purposes only. do not distribute outside of htc without htc's written permission. failture to comply may lead to legal action."

and I checked it by kingo rooter and it said your HTC_one_M8 Is rooted. do you want to unroot is? I told it yes and it said unrooting successful but when I connected it to pc again kingo said the same thing "your device is rooted do you wanna unroot it" ... . I tried to root my device before rooting in recovery mode by superSU.zip (superSU was not the latest version) by kingo but it was not successful.

after that I installed revolution hd and I thought that I crashed my original HTC one m8 rom but it didn't work and I don't know what to do with this disaster. I can get to bootloader and connect it to pc and detect it and do everything but I can't get to system. help me please. I told everything. my device is a HTC one m8 and I had updated it to android 6 and sense 7 and s-off. oh guys I think I need your serious help. thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Your main problem is wrong TWRP and wrong SuperSu that you installed on a Marshmallow stock ROM. But now you really in a mess ... what you can do for others to help you is post the fastboot getvar all result without the serial & imei no.

You may need to restore your M8 with a RUU if available or use a non-rooted backup.

Hello,

I'm hoping to buy the HTC 5800 Fusion (aka S720 Libra) {you know... the CDMA version of the Vox} to use on Verizon Wireless.

I am wondering if Blackberry Connect will work on it. According to HTC support, it will not. This doesn't make sense to me as, if the HTC 5800 uses WM6 Standard, and WM6 Standard supports Blackberry Connect, why wouldn't the HTC 5800 support Blackberry Connect.

My logic is correct :)

However, does anyone have any experience getting the Blackberry Connect package/suite working on a phone it wasn't explicitly intended to be used on?

It would be a lot of trouble to pay Qwest $450, activate the device on VZW, then have to cancel, and return the device to Qwest. I guess I need some reassurance. :rolleyes:

Thanks!

Matt

Spoke to VZW Data rep Teddie (she's a she) at 585-321-7650 x25911; who spoke to RIM. RIM stated that the HTC Fusion 5800 isn't specifically supported, however it should work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykonovets:
Hey! I have Nexus 6 with unchecked 'Enable USB debugging' option. When I tried to update to Android N, device became unbootable (it stucks on bootloader). Standard options like resetting to OEM setting etc did nothing, so I tried some recipes to get it alive (adb/fastboot. Seems like I cannot do anything as I haven't enabled debugging option, so my question is: could I (or even anyone) resurrect it? Or should I get a new phone? :)

Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
that has nothing to do with having usb debugging off. go back and flash the latest factory image.

So I CAN flash it with another image, right? By restoring I mean making it alive, I do not care about data etc

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
If somebody wants to buy Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon, maybe this pros and cons can help.

This pros and cons are from my point of view, from my experience and needs from one smartphone.

After 2 weeks of usage. (Latest Global ROM)

Pros:

- Display (when you are inside, nice colors and sharpness)

- Performance (nice and smooth in day to day use, 78k on antutu, more than S6,Z5,Nexus6..)

- Speaker and Headphone out

- Battery life (average usage on wifi messenger, instagram, viber, browser and bluetooth music streaming.. Getting 8h+ on screen time)

- Camera (but only for social networks)

- Slot for SD Card

- Fast fingerprint sensor

Cons:

- Camera (when you put captured images on PC or zoom in you can see whats going on)

- Lack of Optical image stabilisation

- Display (when you are outside and wearing sunglasses you almost can't see anything on screen)

- Notification LED (tiny and dark)

- MIUI restrictions for font change and theme customization

- Lack of 2.0 quickcharge

Thats it for now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Luiggi79:
I agree with your point of view and i will share with you little tricks to optimize cons parts

1.camera----->install Google camera from Play Store;you will get a better performance&quality

2.display:a)set colors to "cool"

b)set contrast to"increased contrast"

3.MIUI deep customization:a)turn off internet on the device

b)clear data from theme app(don't worry,you will don't lose any previously downloaded theme)

c)open theme app with internet off and go to desired category of customization

d)turn on internet and you will be able to download whatever you want:boot skins,lock screens,icons,etc

4.notification LED--->you can change LED color
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fgermne:
Thank you on advice!

1. will try again. I have tried with google camera first day but results were almost the same.

2. Still can't see outside when it's sunny and wearing sunglasses.

Redmi Note 3 Mediatek version have 30% brighter/better screen on sunny day situations.

Xiaomi said that they have changed "screen pixel technology" on Snapdragon version and now it sucks on sunny days unfortunately.

3. Worked!

4. Any color, LED light is small and dark.. they should put bigger or brighter LED light.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] TacoNikky:
Actually i used mediatek version and snapdragon version of this Phone, snapdragon variant is better under Sun light. You are not able to see with sunglasses it is true but the colours on screen will be lightened in snapdragon variant. It is called as sunlight technology and it works when you choose automatic contrast in screen settings :good:

I just got my G4 (US991 running MM) a few days ago. Low headphone volume was crappy. I found a way to increase the volume using the built-in but hidden 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC controls. Using Nova, use the activity widget. Choose settings, then choose 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC. Be careful moving that volume slider, its very touchy and will get LOUD quick.

BTW, when choosing an activity, press/hold to launch the activity without actually linking that particular activity as the widget. This allows you to play around with activities faster without having to start with a new widget each time.
[G4 General] Bootyshine:
H815

It just opens sound & notification tab from settings :< H815 running v20d MM . :(
[G4 General] el6006:
This is what it does on my uS991.
[G4 General] htr5:
My H815 on MM 6.0 v20d briefly shows that settings page header but then closes and goes to the sound tab of the regular settings.

I can't found it, make a video of it please or be more specific.

I have the same thing, sound & notification.
[G4 General] el6006:
Using Nova Launcher, on homepage, press/hold to add a widget. Choose the Nova Activity widget and place it on the homescreen. The activities list will automatically open to let you choose what activity that widget actually activates. Scroll down to settings, click on it and look for "32 bit Hi-Fi DAC" and click it. The widget will now be linked to this activity. YMMV.

I can now turn up the volume about half-way while listening to music because it actually gets really loud now. Rebooted and the setting stuck. Good luck peeps.
[G4 General] Bootyshine:
Guys guys. Plug headphones and play music. :) I got it. But the settings dont really change much :D Its nice to play with them tho :D Thanks OP :)
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
I finally found the "32 bit Hi-Fi DAC", but when I click, it send me to sound & notification, too bad, thank you.
[G4 General] Xceeder:
Found it and it works , good find OP

Do the above steps and add the widget to home screen then plug in some headphones , play music and then click the widget , it does boost the volume quite a bit but I have Viper4Android installed so it might be because of that as to why my volume increases significantly.....
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
I use viper also. Most def. viper does such a good job. Viper + other sound mods. Are not good to run though. Can fry the voice coil in the speaker from to much boost. I dont use head phones i plug min in to my amp in my car and its to much sometimes with viper alone. Have u ever tried goin into settings in viper and setti g the ui to expert you get loads more options than when u first install it.
[G4 General] el6006:
I've used Viper before. It was great. Tons of options available. I don't really care for super loud music. I just want to be able to adjust the bass levels so it sounds nice and deep but not boomy. Sometimes equalizers boost the higher frequencies as the bass and it's just boomy and terrible and makes me hate life. Lol. Best equalizer I used was DSPManager during the CM10 days. It made my bass super deep and clean without muddy mids or high frequencies. Perfect. I still keep my Samsung Fascinate as an MP3 player because of DSPManager and it's awesome sound.
[G4 General] el6006:
I also found a screen mode option that offers, standard, vivid, and something else setting. Tried it, didn't see any difference. I was looking for a scaling option like I found on my S6. Darn.

While playing around with this though I noticed that the phone recognizes different devices. I've seen a headphone icon, a headset icon, and an auxiliary device icon pop up in the notification bar. I assume the DSP works differently with different devices maybe? I don't know.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackinfinity:
Since EMUI got no App drawer you rely a lot on folders, my really only problem with EMUI right now is how the folders look, I really do not like that they pop up in fullscreen like that, I know they do in a lot of launchers out there I have never understand the purpose of this, to me it is clear, the android vanilla/nova/apex folder look is superior and a lot faster to use more flexible and looks better. I really wonder if Huawei will ever submit using tradtional vanilla android folder. I think this is really important.

I would normally just switch launcher but I have found that EMUI is best optmized and lags a lot less then 3rd party launchers with Marshmallow, with lollipop it was the opposite.

What is your biggest problem with EMUI ?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobboW:
Yes, the launcher I hate.
