[Vivo X Fold] Rumdogusmc:
Did anyone ever respond back to you? I am having the EXACT same problem with Pulse SMS...It just flips back to stock SMS as soon as anyone sends me a text!
[Vivo X Fold] GaresTaylan:
The only apps that dont revert to stock for me are Textra, Signal and Google Messages. Google Messages wont send MMS but the other two will.
[Vivo X Fold] LKMR.PREZ:
Yeah I'm not able to apply the update either. No option in recovery for selecting update file and local upgrade doesn't see the file even though it IS on the root of the device storage.

When I click on the file from the file manager, I get the error message in the photo.
[Vivo X Fold] NeoGoku123:
I get this error message every time
[Vivo X Fold] GaresTaylan:
Anyone having issues with Google Play tonight? Mine opens and just shows a try again screen that does nothing. Based on what I see on my other phone it looks like it may have received an update as the icon is different.
[Vivo X Fold] LKMR.PREZ:
Working fine for me as of right now.
[Vivo X Fold] alecmim:
I have the same problem and it is coming directly after a restart of the phone. solution: wait. I waited almost 2 hours when suddenly it came back and I could re-access play store and google account without the try again thing.

anyone have a solution? noting that i disabled previously PEM & SPS for notifications, I re-enabled them but it didn't help.
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Hello guys. Had the same issue with playstore also yesterday. What I did to fix was uninstalling playstore update from app manager, then installed the latest play store apk from apk mirror. Then I restarted the device. Thats when it came back and worked.
[Vivo X Fold] GaresTaylan:
Unfortunately not working for me. Still stuck on the Try Again screen.

I signed out of the play store and when I go to launch it I no longer get the Try Again screen but now get a "there was a problem communicating with Google servers" error.
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Also had that issue before. Same way I did. Just redo everything again but this time make sure to restart the device before u open the play store after the reset. Also sometimes for some reason especially with this device connection for the playatore goes down then back up. Just wait an hour or 1 then try again. Don't worry eventually it will come back. And after all that if it does not work then reset the phone. Buy the way when I got the phone before they shipped it they installed play store and I had many issues. And honestly when I did the reset and installed everything again many issues that i.had was gone. So give it a try.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
I never had Play Store issues but changing it with an APK from APK Mirror was one of the first things I did when I got my phone.

After nearly a month of fiddling and trying things out I settled on the following configuration:

Launcher: Total Launcher (full support for two Home screen Layouts!!! I love this one! Needs some getting used to as it works a little bit differently than other launchers)

Phone: Google Phone app

Messages: Google Messages App

Contacts: Google Contacts App

Video Player: VLC

All Google system apps have been reinstalled with their latest versions from APK Mirror.

All possible permissions have been given to all apps and services.

As I use dark mode I still do not see some notifications (mostly Facebook Messenger) but I get the small notification counters on the app icon so I know that there is something. Also, I get ALL notifications on my watch so that's covered.

Pretty satisfied for the time being.
[Vivo X Fold] will5431:
Have had the phone for 3/4 weeks now. No issues for anything except maybe a way to activate google assistant; hey Google feature. So far it says ok google isn't unavailable.
[Vivo X Fold] Shawnki91:
Hi all, may be my OCD, or a minor thing to try and fix.

Any ideas how to chnage the Vivo account picture, and name that displays in settings? Everytime I try, I get a server error.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
You can't.

The account needs to be completed with a phone number to be able to change those and you can't add one.
[Vivo X Fold] Shape0:
What settings did you turn change to keep notifications but improve your battery life? I have deleted the battery management app but still have all single permissions active and high background power usage for the apps I want notifications for. Thanks!
[Vivo X Fold] wwyjoe:
New OTA Trial Version update. Version number after update per below picture
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
How did u get the small notification counters on the app to work? is it for the apps or the just some? Thanks
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
One version number higher than the trial they sent on July 23rd.

So bound to be the same changes with probably very minor tweaks
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
With the launcher I use i can select which apps to show those. The stock one I think also can show them for most apps. FB Messenger showed them for sure.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Most probably it is the same one, just a release version of it.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Probably

But will trial users get access to mainline or continue with trial updates …
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
I think we should receive them with no issues.
[Vivo X Fold] GaresTaylan:
New OTA has fixed my issues sending MMS with Google Messages on T-Mobile.
[Vivo X Fold] atilcan:
hi, can you share the version number. did trial but didnt get any update on top of it.
[Vivo X Fold] wwyjoe:
Updated my previous post that the OTA update is Trial version. Verson number after update is shown in the picture attached in my post

[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
I removed the majority of the applications except a few main ones for notifications and even if my main application like the outlook is not running in the background I still get notifications without much delays
[Vivo X Fold] Shawnki91:
Turned off AIEngine under System Management and things seem to be working rock solid overall. Even my Google Nest doorbell notifications are coming in, in real-time!
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
So i did this update and it killed all my notifications. I am not reciving any more notifications. did u have the same issue? if u did were u able to fix it? please let me know Thanks
[Vivo X Fold] dallas1164:
I updated last night and everything is working great. No issues so far
[Vivo X Fold] shoho80:
is bluetooth fine?
[Vivo X Fold] dallas1164:
Yes. My watch is hooked up and headphones. Both working
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Received a trial update
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Be careful with this trial update, my keyboard has stopped working, tried restarting the phone still doesn't work.

So post this update my gboard keyboard stopped working, I had to switch to the default keyboard, uninstall and reinstall the gboard keyboard to make it work.
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Yes guys hold on this trial update. It messed up my notifications and also anything related to Google is not working. Play store will not load and YouTube app too is not loading. Those r the issues so far I ran too. Looks like I have to reset the phone and start all over. Can we downgrade? If any one knows how too and has the files please let me know. Thanks
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Just have to go to settings en touch few settings or nothing, and finally go back to area to write a message and keyboard appear again.

I think update reset few default parameter.

Solved here.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
For me it's much better about all notifications, remove AI engine feature.

Put back battery management, i receive notification without issue, with 1 or 2 seconds delay, like WhatsApp and telegram, my computer is still more fast but look like instant notifications for all services.

Battery life seems much better. Need more daily test usage.

Playstore, official youtube and revanced work nicely. No issue on Google services.
[Vivo X Fold] cleverpro:
I don't think so bro. Android apps are built to be responsive with different aspect ratio since Android phones come with various types of screen. The stretching over front camera hole option on other brands like Samsung, Xiaomi work just fine. Vivo otherwise gave me a really hard time recently.

The same problem happens on other Vivo phones with Origin OS, people just don't pay attention to it since we rarely use normal phones in landscape mode. It's a different story with X fold when it comes with a 5:4 large screen and we use it in landscape a lot. The white letterbox is really pain to the eyes.

Have anyone rooted the phone and tried notch killer module?
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Hi, is anyone managed to make Youtube Vanced work on the Xfold? I've installed everything, Vanced Music is working fine, But Youtube Vanced is Crashing upon opening.

I can see it in the Task list, but can't open it0 Any advice welcome.
[Vivo X Fold] Apo11on:
You CANNOT make the phone work on AT&T, period. Either ditch the phone, or change carrier (that's what I did) - those are your only options. Before switching to T-Mobile, I was having the exact same issues you have, and I worked with AT&T's advanced technical support supervisor, who was speaking directly to their network engineers about this issue.

Without going into lengthy details - AT&T network is currently incompatible with this device. They have 2 options: they can either set your device as 'PDA' in their network and provision it as such, and then data works fine, but no phone calls. Or they can set it as Next Gen 4G/5G device, which has to use "nextgenphone" APN, but unfortunately their network is configured in such a way that when they set your device as a Next Gen phone - it has to recognize the phone model or their reps have to be able to manually set it by selecting from pre-defined list of manufacturers and devices, in order to provision 4G/5G data on the device . Currently, AT&T network is not able to recognize this device, and they are unable to set the device make and model manually, because the entire 'Vivo" brand is not on their manufacturers list. You can confirm this by logging into your AT&T account and trying to change your device in the account settings online. RIght now it will show as either Unknown Device, or wrong model from different brand. If you try to change the device - AT&T site will bring up a list of manufacturers to select from, and Vivo will not be on that list.
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
Thanks for the reply.. agreed dropped ATT and moved to T-Mobile
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Youtube Vanced is stopped... And it seems Google (Youtube) Update some core package, and YV die...
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Really nice feedback. More precise than basic data.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Thx i inderstand much better...

Root feature it's actually experimental and for experienced users...
[Vivo X Fold] mX87m:
I've been following the Vivo X fold news for a while now, and I found someone on Twitter has already installed Magisk on it. I'm not sure if it is working though.

link to tweet

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1527622210000945152
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
I ask Tutorial if it's available.... Magisk is the FUTURE...
[Vivo X Fold] VTEChump:
That is awesome! Any idea if that could potentially fix the notification issues? (I rarely get third party app notifications on time). Also, not having third party app notifications show up on the AOD is close to a deal breaker for me. One last issue I have is the screen brightness, barely legible in direct sunlight (my Fold 3 is much, much brighter).

Other than these issues, I love everything about this phone. The larger outer display is the best! Unfortunately, without fixes for the notification issues, I'll likely be selling mine :(
[Vivo X Fold] mX87m:
Apparently, he/she has a website from his/her Twitter handle (https://androplus.org/), but nothing about the X fold on it. he/she is probably still testing. I wouldn't jump in it is still too early to unlock the bootloader.

Edit: forgot to mention that someone already asked for the method to root. it seems unstable and could boot loop:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1529717192605937664
[Vivo X Fold] mX87m:
I've heard some people were able to fix the notification problem! I still do not own the phone but, I had a Xiaomi with the same issue. I just pinned (locked) the app in the app switcher and all was fine and dandy.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Battery optimization, locked, special and unique authorizations… don't fix definitely notifications issue... you have issue and sometimes don't...

Somewhere in ROM from Vivo, they extra kill and delay notif... i have another VIvo after 3 years of update, still issue...
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
I contact them in DM directly.
[Vivo X Fold] mX87m:
@lesscro let us know how things go for you. Be careful and don't rush things!
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
I got my answer, AndroPlus make the job :

If a enthusiast is ready to try... Need to be experienced and have correct driver on desktop.

And to have a DUMP !!!
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
my friend, there are still some available packages here and there, and I've installed it on all my devices and worked like a charm. only issue is fold X so far.
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
sorry guys, but what will be magisk benefits? I'm a bit ignorant on this topic..
[Vivo X Fold] Pervokur:
just uninstall com.vivo.sps com.vivo.abe
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I wouldn't try with that boot.img it is best to either pull or your own or pull from the firmware.

I attempted this and it led to a bootloop. I was however able to get back in my device with a full firmware download from recovery but i couldn't capture the traffic to get a link directly from vivo servers.

We technically need the boot.img from vivo and vendor.img from their firmware which can be used for (in theory) all devices for the x fold. That said does anyone know any sites that have uploaded the vivo x fold firmware as it is not posted on vivo support
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Guys, how do you get rid of the Battery management app?
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:

[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
One more thing happened after the update. So i had all the google services and play store and youtube not working. So i was getting ready to reset then ihooked up the phone to the computer to back up. Then i noticed that the play store is back online and working also youtube worked too. So i am not sure what is the issue and why it got resolved when i hooked the phone to the pc. Still having no notifications but the google services is back working. It could be i have issue in connection internet and got solved when it used the computer internet. I honestly dont know and does not make any sense to be. Just sharing my finding
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
So post 12 hr - no issues observed so far, google apps working fine and notifications seems to be working as normal (without any delays)
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Thanks! I know that thread.

It is mostly useless as half of those apps have been updated with new names on the X Fold and some are not even there. Some can't be removed at all as they are system apps...

So again I ask, hot to remove the Battery Management app on a Vivo X Fold specifically.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Somewhere in this thread, you have command with ADB to list all app on X FOLD.

After you have another command to delete specific app.

And not so long time ago, one user explain that he remove battery app but still have battery management inside android it seems.

Maybe 2-5 pages back.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
I'm completely fine with Google's power management policies. Just the Chinese manufacturers overdo it with theirs... I can list the apps, yes... and I still don't know which the correct APK is... I can probably guess it but I don't want to risk a reinstall just because I removed the wrong file.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
You want exact name of package to remove. Okay.

I give my turn because i didn't play with system and since last update it's clearly much better about battery management because Vivo relax a little about crazy kill or block all about app...
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
If that is true, I'll also not touch it. Will see how things go with the update...
[Vivo X Fold] Ayit Boss Geez:
Hi, i just got the phone and want to unlock the bootloader. However, I don't know how to downgrade it, the downgrader tool says no packages yet, and trying to local update to an older firmware says it cant because its older, anyone have any other way of doing this?

Edit: Made a seperate thread for this
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
Curious, which cellular provider/location are you with?

as some here have not had the Trial version mess their notifications and Google services.

I am from Toronto Canada with Fido (not an Vivo X fold owner yet, but interested) and hearing the VoLTE is not working here in Canada for this phone is giving me pause on purchasing this phone now.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Come back with few daily usage, bettry is very much better. Anyway, keyboard (Gboard) have issue at each restart.

Google Play (v26.5.19-21 [0] [PR] 388558437) don't left me to update any apps...

China vs USA ??? Or small bug ?

Anyone else can confirm issue ?

Regards mate
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Well here is the weird thing, So after the update every thing stopped plsystore and notifications. So i kept tring different things with no hope. Then i decided to do a full reset. The sec i hooked up the phone to computer to back up. Sudenly all the notifications came in and play store worked. I dont know what fixed it tho every thing works fine now and i did not reset.

Not sure location has somthing to do with it. I am in Chicago and Tmobile. Network is fine even on 5G
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
Good to hear that it is working now, and yes heard that T-Mobile is working in the States (was hoping to find someone in Canada with a fully working service- thread that I started: https://xdaforums.com/t/vivo-x-fold-volte-access-in-canada.4476419/ ), lucky you are able to use full service with them.

Here in Canada, I am hearing that the VoLTE communications settings is greyed out with two of our largest carriers, Rogers and Bell, so that is not good as I am really interested in getting the phone, but not if the standard VoLTE is not working.
[Vivo X Fold] mrwoc00cowrm:
I hope they find a fix for this WiFi calling situation
[Vivo X Fold] mrwoc00cowrm:
No problems as of yet
[Vivo X Fold] mrwoc00cowrm:
I use smart launcher 6. Its great
[Vivo X Fold] mrwoc00cowrm:
WondaMobile is great. Got my vivo x fold in 3 days.. Ordered Friday, received Monday.. 512gb Greg.. Loving it
[Vivo X Fold] mrwoc00cowrm:
I hope they find a fix for WiFi calling soon
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Ok i update Playstore from APKmirror

Welcome back to the game.
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
Just call tmobile and ask them to send you a free cellular signal router, basically you connect the tmobile router to your internet router and the tmobile router will broadcast cellphone signal throughout the house, you wont need wifi calling anymore because you will get 5 bars of regular tmobile signal. That's what I did.
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Do u pay monthly subscription for that?
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
no it's FREE
[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
Guys did anyone try the New update ?
[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
Okay so I tried this is by far fixing most of our issues guys

The notification issues on the home screens and the messenger and android sms issue as well it worked fine.

The notification content as well was annoying and doesn't show the message content fixed

Some of the finger print and facial unlock is improved

Download and install it's safe so far
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Guys this is driving me crazy. Google play store stops working and keeps showing Try Again. I did every thing i even reset the phone still same issue. The only way for it to work is to hook it up to pc then it works. If i disconect and try to open it it go back to try again. Any one has any idea or a way to fix this? Whats the connection between the pc and the phone for it to work? what am i doing wrong?
[Vivo X Fold] greenenggxx:
What issues were fixed?
[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
Please read what I wrote previously
[Vivo X Fold] greenenggxx:
Guys I just updated and now my dark mode notifications are working too! Had to enable Google again for Gboard Gmail etc to work.. will report back any issues
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Hi, I get 5G on both Telus and Bell
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
APK mirror, install lastest APK of Google, solve issue for me !

Try and send feedback if you can.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
I can confirm that the latest update fixed the notification issue for messenger and some others. All notifications are OK (in dark mode)... I think...

Regarding wifi calling, is that a T-Mobile issue? I constantly see the wifi calling icon when on wifi.

As for launchers, once again, check Total Launcher. It has full support for two separate home screens and works quite well on the X fold.
[Vivo X Fold] invensmaster:
Thanks for your reply. Tho i found where was the issue. I was resetting then disabling com.vivo.pem & com.vivo.sps.

For some reason they used to stop playstore from working. i don't see the connection. But i spent the whole day doing trials and errors till i finally figured it. Conclusion i am on last build (trial) all is working good also notifications r coming in and all is good.
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
So far so good.
