[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
hi guys, just got an update to 12.0.14.8.w1 today. No idea what the changelog is.

Another point, my phone is working like normal after settings the right priorities in battery management, for the right apps and adjusting all the notifications. the only thing not working is the Hey google voice call, but the assistant button works . I've deactivated all AI engine stuff in system management. hope that helps.

Anyone has a solution to make youtube vanced work? would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
HOLY SH*T, how did I missed that, you are the best! lol. I never noticed there was a quick action icon from the drop down that lets you split screen dual run ANY app. I always thought the drag from right edge quick panel was the only split screen options available (that panel only allows certain apps to split or float). Wow, I was wondering why the hell vivo didnt do this simple thing when samsung been doing it for 3 years now. THANKS!
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
I make youtube work without ads by, paying for youtube premium lol it's worth it, for the 1-2 hours I spend on there every day. Oh and they also have a student discount available that drops the price by almost half. So it's like 20 cents a day...
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
:) thanks, but no thanks. with vanced , you can also skip the sponsors and all the crap inserted in the videos . I'll wait for a fix. There is a new one coming up called Revanced :)
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
lol yea the sponsor insert is annoying, I skip that using the "3 tap method", where I skip forward 30 seconds by tapping the right portion of the screen 3 times. hahaha
[Vivo X Fold] sonsolar:
Can you download offerup to see if it functions properly? If you're in the US. I'm having a problem and it's only on this phone
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
timalpipo:​

Did you get vanced working or are you waiting for revanced?
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
not working yet, keep trying different setups
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
If you get it working let me know! I've tried everything and nothing has worked so far. Staying hopeful though.
[Vivo X Fold] q173242:
Another question: when you charge the phone via cable you get a charging animation on the Lockscreen

When you charge wireless there is none. Can that be changed?

Edit: nevermind - animation disappears as soon as a notification is displayed
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Hi, sorry but i can't find the way to use the assistant button... Need help. Thx
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Does someone know how to connect a Galaxy watch 4..? I've tried many ways but felt everytime. I just can use watches on tizen... Not Samsung on Wear os.
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Hello from métropole 😉. Do you speak french? Hope you will enjoy your new phone. Personnaly, i love mine😊😊😊
[Vivo X Fold] tanipat:
hmm i guess so, if that is the case might need to order one to protect it first before using it thanks man
[Vivo X Fold] Mdaly001:
What are y'all using for your keyboard? Can't land on one that works well
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Gboard for me... no problem.
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Me too, it is a fantastic machine.
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Got this update and here is the change log
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Does anyone know how to verify your phone number with a vivo account? It doesn't let me choose "united states" as the prefix for my phone number so I can't verify via SMS when trying to download new themes and whatnot....It only gives me Asian countries to choose from. Not sure how to get around this :/
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
In France we have the possibility to create an account on vivo french website so no need to log with phone number but with email adresse. Don't know if you have the same way in the US...
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
I created an account on the vivo website, but in order to make purchases in their theme store you have to verify your phone number, which it doesn't allow me to use a US phone number :(.
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Has anyone noticed and tested the dual Wifi feature on this phone ? Seems to have two different Mac address for the same phone showing connected to the wifi with one connected to the 5Ghz and another to 2.5Ghz
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Hi, got the update today 😉. Now i’m looking for the way to use the power button as google assistant opening... how to do it? Thx
[Vivo X Fold] Mdaly001:
Anyone on mint mobile have it working? I am having issues calling out. I can receive calls and send/receive texts no issue. I am ollowing mint mobile recommended android apn settings
[Vivo X Fold] hslav:
My inside screen has started to show marks (damage on underlying screen) along the center screen after a few weeks of use. It happened randomly, I did not drop or damage phone, it was fine earlier today, now it's randomly broken. Does anyone have any idea if this can be repaired or I have any recourse (this was purchased on aliexpress, I am in New Zealand).
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
This unfortunately looks like hinge damage. most probably some defect with the hinge has punctured the screen from behind.

It is for a replacement I fear...
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
I'm on T-Mobile, which shares the same towers used by mint mobile, and can reports that I get a weaker signal than my S20 received, but adequate to send and received calls, texts and stream media. I've moved around Seattle to test and getting good to slightly better signals around the city where I've tested the signal.

I didn't edit any of the APN settings or make other alterations to get this signal level.
[Vivo X Fold] Mdaly001:
I'm an idiot I have Google voice installed and it was never giving the prompt when dialing out to choose to dial from carrier number or Google voice number. That was blocking outgoing calls. Changed setting so doesn't require a prompt and voila!
[Vivo X Fold] mhorton7219:
What watch are you using? I have a galaxy watch 4
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
I have a Galaxy gear S3 frontier myself and experiencing some weirdness. Battery use has gone from 4 days to two. All settings confirmed including gear plugin. Strange is that the Samsung app will show disconnected but watch will update weather. I reset the watch and no glory. Anyone have an observation that might nudge me in the right direction?

I'm not against updating watches as my gear is 6 years old. I updated the battery two years ago, but new stuff is nice. If it works. 😁
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
Tag huer connected e4
[Vivo X Fold] mhorton7219:
I can't get my galaxy watch connected
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
You'll need the galaxy wearable as well as gear plugin, if you don't already. Configure location to always allow.
[Vivo X Fold] mhorton7219:
Thank you! I finally got it paired
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
I wonder if you'll experience battery drain like myself and quit a few others, I'm assuming, due to android 12. I was getting four days on a charge with my trusty two year old S20, but now down to less than two. I've decided to leave the samsung ecosystem and get an Amazfit GTX 3 Pro. I had the S3 a little more than five years and changed out the battery in 2020, so I'm due for a new toy.

Not to draw anyone away from the gear S3, but the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro has an "amazing" list of features and not a single connection complaint on Amazon's product review page.

Anyway, the gear S3 worked with Huawei and Xiaomi, so country of origin is not the issue, it's sammy's slow uptake on android 12, which will just about have to improve by the time the z fold 4 comes out, 'cause that will for sure have android 12.

But, for the time being, samsung can pound sand, as far as I'm concerned.
[Vivo X Fold] mhorton7219:
I'll have to see how everything does. I will say it was a little difficult to get it paired. This is the first day so I will see how things go.
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
I had a bit of a change on the connection front with my gear S3. After fighting with the watch to get a stable Bluetooth connection the pairing, quite suddenly "completed". All along I assumed the pairing was a done deal, then the watch nagged me to acknowledge the pairing. That was about 12 hours ago, at which time i had 55% battery. Now I have 53%.

Appears the phone and the watch came to an agreement. 😅

Have no idea why devices would take more than a week to pair. All indications we're it had taken place when I installed the gear app and plugin.

Patience is key, but I'm too impatient to wait.....a week!
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Amazfit Stratos - paired here

Amazfit Notify app to have bette notifications and feature doesn't work...

No notifications arrive to watch...

I will check again autorisations, extra autorisations, notifications access...

But Ocean x Vivo, secure to much the phone... it's look like, it's not your phone, they left you to pay to use it how they want !!!

Crazy !
[Vivo X Fold] mhorton7219:
Mine, galaxy watch 4 seems to be doing well also. As someone mentioned in the thread, make sure also to allow the galaxy wear app and plugin for background power consumption high.
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
Setting should be "let it burn, baby!!" LOL

Although, I have to say, I'm getting 6-8 hrs SOT with 40-50% battery left at the end of the day. Been very impressed with the battery.
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
I'm having issues with the phone ringing for 1 second and then dropping calls. I have a second line and have the vivo running TMobile, when I call myself, Half of the time the call will go through and ring and the other half it will start running and automatically drop. Anyone having similar issues? Phone is an an area with good signal and 5g indicator is on. I saw somewhere that Bearer settings had to be set to NR as well and it is but issue persists.
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
I have tried several times to connect my watch 4 but always same message : watch not compatible with this Phone. I only have the possibility to connect watches with tizen system. Any ideas?
[Vivo X Fold] mhorton7219:
I did download the wear app from vivo app store. When you go into it, follow the instructions there. I also had the galaxy wearable app and watch manager from the play store. It took me a few times to get it to work. Hope this helps
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Thanks... i will try this.
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
Seems like when I have issues with the watch I restart it and things seem to resolve themselves. Although I did reset the watch one time when things seemed to be unfathomable. All's good now. Not going to reset the phone. Screw that crap, hard enough to set it up the first time around.

Key for me was enabling location all the time and high power for the watch and plug-in,

All seems to work now, but I do have a gear S3, which is tizen based.

At least one other person got their watch 4 running on this phone. Maybe they can chime in.
[Vivo X Fold] darzy88:
i had this exact issue and what i had to do was download the watch plugin from playstore and then download samsung health app also and open that app up and sign in as soon as i done this and opened up the app to pair it worked straight away
[Vivo X Fold] DanZan6:
I have the same issue with t mobile. Strong signal, 5g
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
Can you pull out your TMobile sim and tell me what nodel number sim it ism does it start with TM? Or is it a R15 sim?
[Vivo X Fold] DanZan6:
It says tm9263
[Vivo X Fold] azn2coo:
Thank you!!! I was able to activate on google fi with your instructions.

Only issue I'm having is that i'm not able to sent or receive mms. Regular text message is fine.

Try with stock messaging app and same issue. MMS just stay stuck in sending mode, and any MMS that come in just get stuck in downloading mode. Try reinstalling google fi and clearing the cache and data, and no luck.

Are you experiencing this issue also?
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
No issue sending texts with pictures or GIF as I use phone messages app.

Were you able to get Google Fi connection stable while roaming???
[Vivo X Fold] azn2coo:
Yes I was able to get stable Google Fi connection with roaming.. everything works great even regular sms. Just mms is not working.
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
Thanks did you any other adjustments??. Mint Mobile does not have issues but Good Fi seems unreliable at times
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Thanks a lot.
[Vivo X Fold] Ayastar689:
Salut oui je l'ai reçu y'a pas très longtemps et je m'éclate avec. Il est fantastique. Hâte que l'OS soit mis à jour dans une version pensée pour l'international
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Pareil... En espérant qu'une vraie version globale sorte et surtout qu'elle soit compatible avec ce modèle 🤞🤞🤞🤞
[Vivo X Fold] danscorp:
Hi to all!

Do you have a black bar when rotating the screen in landscape in some apps?

This black bar is located on the underdisplay camera side. Do you know how to get rid of it?
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Bro', it will be never international, we have chinese version, then destination China.
[Vivo X Fold] Ayastar689:
X80 pro launches in a few days in France, officially. Wait and see :)
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
Really nice, then international, but we have a chinese version.
[Vivo X Fold] jwilson77:
First off, a huge thanks to everyone who has provided help on this thread, it's made all the difference in get my X Fold usable.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I'm have to use the provided Messages app, but I am noticing when I send a message to a group of people, I receive individual messages back; this sucks. Did anyone know if a way to fix it so that the responses stay in the group (MMS) text/thread? Thanks!
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Has anyone tried rooting it using another vivo phone rooting method like kingroot or anything?
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
Have you tried Textra
[Vivo X Fold] jwilson77:
I have not, but I have tried Pulse and Google Messages and neither work well. Do you use Textra on the X Fold?
[Vivo X Fold] tee00max:
New the Vivo Gang and so far I'm loving it, have all notifications working, custom launcher and icon pack installed. However when you have to system set to dark mode, anyone else notice you don't get notifications? As soon as you take it off and go back to regular mode, you get notifications again. Weird.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
where's a good copy of kingroot?
[Vivo X Fold] jwilson77:
I've been using Textra that last hour or so and it's working like a charm! Thanks for the recommendation.

Looks like my phone is now stuck on bootloop.

I downloaded Ampere to check the charging. When I tried to open it it crashed twice. Then afterwards the phone shut off and now it keep bootlooping. 😩

Anyone know where I can get the OS? And how to write it?
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
where can we get a good copy of Textra?

Still not getting our official forum open.. :(

I just downloaded it from the Play Store, but I'm sure you could also get it from APK Mirror or the like.

I just downloaded it from the Play Store, but I'm sure you could also get it from APK Mirror or the like.
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
can you share the playstore link please?
[Vivo X Fold] djudenne:
Hi everyone, need your help, I love my X Fold but an issue for me compare to Z Fold 3 are on big screen mode, some webpage still think I use a phone and maybe not well made but because of the that the video that can use full wide of screen become like 80% of screen, but on Z fold it's more reconize as a tablet or computer don't know but look better, see picture on left X Fold and on Right Z Fold.

You can see the big video on the left but on the right a small video on screen.

The link of the webpage : https://www.premiere.fr/Cinema/News-Cinema

We can see under the video the title is write bigger in the X Fold that on the Z Fold, so really better for read such website on Z Fold. Same if turn smartphone, no difference. And screen resolution should not be the issue as even bigger on X Fold.

So anyone know how I ca nmake Chrome for example believe I use a Z Fold ? Maybe this can be solution ?

Thank you,
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
Yes and just a better experience
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Head into recovery to reinstall current version of software. You'll probably need to clear cache and data from recovery as well I suspect
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I get instant bootloop with boot.img. Also I do have dsu loader I'll try again
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:

[Vivo X Fold] Pervokur:

Thank you my friend, its work make it so better this is so great 😃
[Vivo X Fold] drbubbles123:
Is anyone having trouble with their call quality on t-mobile? For some reason I get dropped calls and people say I sound like a robot. LOL I've already went to T-Mobile and had my sim changed but still having call quality issues. I have 5G and 4G when I'm on calls so I don't understand. Everything else works fine text messages YouTube Netflix.
[Vivo X Fold] sbrown222501:
Yes seeing the same thing on my Vivo X Fold and using Tmobile also. I have tested on my other line and when calling the phone rings on the vivo after the 3rd or 4th ring risking whomever calling to hang up.
[Vivo X Fold] drbubbles123:
Yeah I'm super sad but I can't keep this phone if I can't figure out how to fix the call quality issues.
[Vivo X Fold] drbubbles123:
I'm surprised more people are not talking about this. I've noticed if I turn off a v o l t e the call quality is better but I go down to hsp+ and if it goes to 3g the call usually will drop
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
what dpi value did you set to achieve improved viewing???
[Vivo X Fold] djudenne:
I use same that the one on Z Fold 3 for big screen : 786 :)
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
Thanks , one thing I noticed is that if I want to return to previous setting # of 356 it seems it wont revert back immediatly and almost requires a re start????
[Vivo X Fold] djudenne:
Originaly for big screen me it was 638 DPI and i try to go back and it work, was like before
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Today's update, might fix the call quality issue..?
[Vivo X Fold] chris92500:
Hi, I'm newbie with this phone. Do you know how to force landscape mode in some app ?
[Vivo X Fold] jwilson77:
This is done by changing the "Smallest width" setting in Developer options, yes?
[Vivo X Fold] drbubbles123:
Please let me know if you see any improvement and call quality. Then maybe I can keep this phone LOL
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
Does the Vivo X fold have a setting that allows to for unlocking via face or fingerprint and go to directly to home screen without having to do the swipe up???

On Samsung is an extra setting under security but don't find anything like this here
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I'll try and grab the Ota link to share.

That way we can get the boot.img directly from the update
[Vivo X Fold] GaresTaylan:
Any luck?
[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Does anyone know how to enable Volte or HD Calling?
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Same as samsung : go to setting fingerprint. Face. You have the choice after in the "face" menu : choose lift to activate and unchoose "stay on the lockscreen..." (sorry my menu is in french so i translate the way i suppose...)
[Vivo X Fold] darveniza:
Thanks for that , the setting was there per your instruction
[Vivo X Fold] krabman:
Anyone figure out how to get browser apps to go full screen in landscape?
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
So the phone is working pretty well. The only thing I'm having trouble with now is my contacts are not being connected to my text messages. Like half of my phone numbers in my text messages are just the phone number even though they are in my contacts. This is an issue with both Textra and default vivo messaging app. Any way to resync them or get them to show up as the contact?? I have tried syncing my Google account and I have tried resyncing on textra. Neither have worked.
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Guys, Found an alternative that works to you tube vanced, it is you tube revanced. I've installed the light version and it is working.

Get Micro G from Here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/team-vanced/microg-youtube-vanced/microg-youtube-vanced-0-2-24-220220-release/

and revanced lite from : {Mod edit: Link to Telegram removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

and goodbye advertising and sponsors..
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I haven't received the update
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
Here's a few suggestions I've come across, although I haven't tried them because everyone I text is in my inbox. ; ) https://www.online-tech-tips.com/sm...ts-not-syncing-on-android-try-these-12-fixes/
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
I just received the update like an hour ago. I'm on tmobile, check again to make sure.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
No update on three UK
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Ah, I'm in the US, not sure if that makes a difference.
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Thanks, I tried all of them and unfortunately, no luck. Even did the deleting google account and readded. Bleh.
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
Top right corner, tap the 3 dots, then check the box for DESKTOP SITE
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
Yes the phone allows you to connect to two wifi networks at the same time and then combine the speeds.
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
Yeah. Mines was the same I went to TMobile and upgraded to an R15 sim and it fixed my dropped call issues. Hope this helps you too!!
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
Are ALL new sim cards they give out nowadays, R15 sims?
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
Yes. It should be R15. Make sure to double check and it's better to go in and get one. I've heard people buy them online and get the wrong one (older models starting with TM)
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
What carrier are you on?
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
I see people talking about changing the DPI to the fold 3 dpi, what benefits does this have?
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
Thanks, I got mine in store 2 weeks ago at a corporate store so I guess it must be a new model sim.
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi23:
Are you having issues? Check your sim to see if it's R15
[Vivo X Fold] nvgear:
Not having issues with calls or reception when out of the house. The only issue I have is wifi calling doesn't work, so I had to get a cell signal booster for my basement.
[Vivo X Fold] djudenne:
No i try before and not solve the issue but DPI do :)
[Vivo X Fold] djudenne:
Some webpage will be better to read on big screen with higher DPI, check my message with picture of both phone and you will see the difference :)
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
How do you change the dpi?? And what is the fold 3 dpi?
[Vivo X Fold] djudenne:
Go to dev mode and in the section "drawing" you will found one call "Smallest width", there you can replace original DPI by 786.

But before open dev mode, you need to be ok the big screen, if you do that on external screen, you will change DPI of external screen, so use rhe big screen and then change DPI.

I add one pictureof the menu as reference
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Thank you sir. Turns out I already had it set to 638.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
638 is the default one that needs to be changed to 786, if I'm not mistaken...
[Vivo X Fold] cleverpro:
You have to increase the dpi of your screen. Turn on developer mode and change the dpi to 851. It's perfect for both tablet and phone mode.
