[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Textra doesn't seem to notify me with sound. I get the text messages but no notification sound. I fixed the default messenger app and get instant notifications through that but I heard that Textra worked for a few people. Any ideas on why I'm not getting the notifications from them? Also, why are only like 25% of my contacts showing up with names? Most are just numbers and I simply cannot remember everyones number. I don't see any differences between the people whose name shows up and the ones that don't. Anyone having this issue?
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
adguard pro worked for me rooted or not rooted
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
I've been going back and forth between the default messenger and Textra, finding the only time I get a notification in Textra is when I'm using the app. Just going to use the Vivo messenger until something better and more reliable comes along.
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Damn... The default messenger really sucks with gifs and ****..and don't even get me started on group chats lol... Well **** balls. Any idea on the contact issue? I've tried resyncing Google contacts and all of that. Nothing works.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Okay

So I am in freaking love with this device. With root, I receive almost all notifications (facebook and telegram are having issues displaying some notifications).

But also I installed pixelify module and the change is rather nice (photos attached). It isn't perfect but there's about 90% functionality on the vivo x fold. I'll talk to the developer to see if there's any further refinements. But sufficed to say it makes me want to see why GSI doesn't work. Has anyone grabbed a logcat to see what the issue is???

I am really curious to see if lineageos can run on this correctly (to really have a pixel fold before google releases)
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
It seems that we are definitely the banned ones.. Even the Vivo X80 got its own forum..@xda, why ?
[Vivo X Fold] VA50:
Has anyone been able to get Google Assistant to work?
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Yes I did
[Vivo X Fold] Allografter:
Right, I have managed to change the internal screen dpi to 1200 (I like it this high because it gives it a high-resolution PC look) and more apps now have the tablet interface (Playstore for example). The outer screen changes to 677. The quick toggles and brightness bar remain distorted (worse in folded state) but the iPhone style right side swipe for toggles and left side swipe for notifications are not affected, so I now use this instead. I also tried the power shade app but found it too clunky. If anyone wants to use a higher dpi than 800, then switch to the iPhone style.
[Vivo X Fold] Allografter:
Also, strangely, can't seem to download or side load Call of Duty - doesn't seem to work. YouTube revanced works initially then when you next open the app, it says there's no internet connection. Any explanations for either?
[Vivo X Fold] finalstrider:
Wow, so my vivo x fold arrived in 3 days into the UK too! Wondamobile were fantastic!!!

Bought it on their website last Sunday and it was dispatched on Monday and it arrived today by Fedex.

However, I'm now a little stuck.

I'm just trying to set it up and I have a registered a vivo account but after logging in, it asks me to bind my telephone number.

This won't work as I have a +44 UK mobile number being based in the UK.

There seems to be no way to bypass this so I can't install Nova launcher etc.

I'm assuming Vivo have updated their security but can anyone advise what I can do?
[Vivo X Fold] dallas1164:
Try regeristing on a PC that way you can bypass the phone #
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I downloaded and installed so I can’t really validate it’s an issue. But to confirm it’s call of duty mobile correct?

I haven’t tested YouTube revanced. Are you using an adblocker with vpn?
[Vivo X Fold] finalstrider:
Yep, I had created and registered my vivo account on PC but when logging in on the phone, the next screen requests you to bind your telephone number for extra security. There's no way to skip or bypass it.
[Vivo X Fold] Allografter:
Thanks, that's very helpful. It means that the isn't a device issue but something I've probably done!
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I just went through this yesterday and there was a way to absolutely skip it after log in. I’m not sure what you did though so I would log off make sure you’re registered on the pc and try logging in there first

Log off of the account on mobile and try again
[Vivo X Fold] finalstrider:
Yeah, I'm really a bit lost. I tried rebooting the device and it's the same result. Basically I choose "enter email and password" and after doing so the next screen is the one I attached above that asks for phone number
[Vivo X Fold] finalstrider:
Okay, thanks for everyone's input. I finally solved it by creating another vivo account with another email address (on PC again) and this time it logs in on the phone - really not sure why this account/ email works and the other one doesn't. Thanks once again for helping a newb out.
[Vivo X Fold] Bryan839:
How are you enjoying the phone. Can’t believe how quick delivery was for you! That’s brilliant. I’m actually thinking of keeping mine now and selling my iPhone 13 pro max.
[Vivo X Fold] Allografter:
Sorted out YouTube Revanced. You need to go into permission management and grant micro g permission to autostart and run in the background otherwise after the first opening of the YouTube app it stops working.
[Vivo X Fold] finalstrider:
Thanks Bryan, yeah I couldn't recommend Wondamobile enough! So far I'm getting my around Origin OS and setting up Nova, lots to do and plenty of bloat to delete but my first impression is that it's fantastic!
[Vivo X Fold] GaresTaylan:
I was battling this issue and this 100% worked for me. Thanks for the great help!
[Vivo X Fold] GregWrath:
Hi all, Just wondered if anyone else is having trouble with unlocking certain apps using the fingerprint sesnsor?

For example, my banking app.. asks me to put my pin in to allow the app to use the fingerprint every single time i open the app? and some other apps (the majority work) just fail to open and have to use my pin.
[Vivo X Fold] atilcan:
first of all thank you all for sharing tips and helping people here.

So far, I am loving the phone. The missing piece of the puzzle is that when I install and use Nova, I cannot use the gestures(swiping bottom right/left to move between apps, 3 finger screen split). Is there any workaround for this as these are essentials.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
All the apps I have that use it, work properly. Only when I delete a fingerprint or add a new one, it will ask once to reenter my pin and then works again. (but that happens on all devices)

Also regarding the charging. Sorry for not replying earlier but had some long days lately. With my Laptop's 65W USB-C charger, Ampere really does not show more than 1500mAh but the phone still charges quite fast... Not as fast as with its own charger but I don't mind as I almost always charge overnight. One of these days I'll try Ampere with the original charger to see what it shows then...

And yes, Wonda Mobile... as I mentioned already they did a great job for mine too. 3 days after postage I was setting my phone up. (this is also not the first time I purchased from them. Back in 2020 or maybe 2019 not sure exactly... I got a Huawei Mate 20 X from them and I used that phone many many moons )
[Vivo X Fold] GregWrath:
Thanks for the response ill look into it, and i can second OrionBGs comment on Wonda Mobile, ive used them several times and never had any issues. I even bought an LG Wing (was actually a great phone dont judge) from them and now my Vivo x Fold, fast delivery with Fed Ex, recomended.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
By the way guys, I have found that reinstalling the Google services and Google Framework APKs did something, and certain google things that were not working before that, worked properly after. Just see what exact versions you have and download the same ones from apkmirror or somewhere else. I have also downloaded the latest Play store from there too as it was not updating on its own. For instance, I think this finally fixed my connection with my Ticwatch 3 Pro Ultra. ( Wear OS)
[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
I am having the same issue and I thought I am the only one, so this is a Nova issue right ?
[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
Guys any launcher better than Nova you think of ?
[Vivo X Fold] Bryan839:
With nova installed when I flick away an app it just instantly goes back home. There is no nice animation etc. Is this the same for everyone?
[Vivo X Fold] francoiscox1:
Hi everybody. I'm french, so excuse my...

I bought this splendid phone and used it from 4 days now. In France 5G is perfectly working. I had problem with sending MMS, but after 2 days, problem solved by itself😳...🙂

I have a question about system sounds. Is everyone knows how to disable the battery charging sound without using silent mode? Thanks...
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
Warning for thoee potential vivo fold USA users.. at least in att I'm having issues with the phone I can make and receive calls but as soon as I use data to browse internet I can't make calls anymore. I tried adding a data Sim to Sim 2 but at random times I would loose cell signal. There are mixed results from users and that might have to do with where you live and if att has shut down 3g towers and volte mess in the USA.. I'm taking the phone to att and see if they can help... any other att users oithere ? FYI I also tried Google fi and had very unreliable service in places where I would otherwise get great signal
[Vivo X Fold] VTEChump:
I tried on AT&T, data worked, but I couldn't make calls or text. I'm now using on Tmobile, everything is great so far (5g speeds).

Love the phone hardware, software needs work (notifications don't always work, AOD only notifys text and calls, nothing else, multitasking is lacking). Hopefully all these can be fixed with software updates, but won't hold my breath.
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
Can someone on ATT comment on cell signal reliability and APN setting steps to make the phone work ? I am able to get reliable 4G data however when making calls as soon as I dial the call ends… I guess the response is ATT is no go ? I would hate to return the phone. Do the T-Mobile folk have reliable service ?

Anybody experienced issue with phone in pocket, it second time my phone call a lot of my contact...

[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
Hey guys, so I just purchased the Vivo X fold, and I'm wondering which network in the US is the best for this phone. I'm looking to either go T-mobile or AT&T (unless there is a better one) but can't seem to find which one would have better 5G/4G coverage. I'm in a big city (Houston) so coverage itself is not a problem, but trying to figure out which one has the most used bands between the two.

[Vivo X Fold] cleverpro:
Hello everyone, I had the device for almost 2 weeks now. I have a problem with forcing app to stretch over front camera hole.

I have every app with "Display the front camera" option in "Setting" -> "Display and brightness" -> "Display at the top of the screen" checked.

Some apps work just fine like games, facebook or google map but some don't like Edge, chrome, microsoft apps like excel, PowerBi as below.

Anyone has a solution for this with or without rooting the phone?
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Why Is that Taking so long to open a dedicated forum for this device?
[Vivo X Fold] lesscro:
We are 5/10 maximum with this device.... it's not Samsung, you know...

Maybe a request can be interesting...
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
I think there are more than you estimate, and also, if you do not open it , you will not attract people..
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Where should we record our request for an official X fold forum?

Maybe these apps are not adapted with form factor… I left all in auto mode personally…

Then in major app, we have a black band on top ? It's this ?

I'm using the standard Android navigation gestures for back, home and recents (with no nav buttons) and have no issues with them.

I had a problem creating a Vivo account with my email so just an FYI use a different email if it happens. I don't know why but it worked for me 😎👍
[Vivo X Fold] MR.MEMORYLANE:
What I did for OfferUp just to get by for now.I opened it up on online (Google) and created a shortcut to my home page but yeah I have the same problem but this works for me and I one less app I need
[Vivo X Fold] MR.MEMORYLANE:
Took a screenshot before I changed mine and it was 638 if that helps
[Vivo X Fold] MR.MEMORYLANE:
I got that pop up here in the US but I get 5G mostly 80% of the time. If it’s not 5G it will switch 4G but I work close to the airport so it might interfere with the towers. I think it automatically pops up because it's a Chinese and not global rom. Hope that helps 😎👍
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Those two. If anyone is having issues with google contacts syncing, you can try also reinstalling Google Contacts sync. Just click on the current one ang get the same version.

Eventually nova launcher has its issues with fullscreen gestures. Is there any way to install new icons and fonts. The vivo ones are chinese and ugly:)

I'm reluctant to sell mine, I really do love it, but I've been locked into apple for so long it's almost impossible to switcht to anything else.

Look how amazing it looks 😍
[Vivo X Fold] Logan3824:
What launcher/settings are you using for that setup? It looks so good!
[Vivo X Fold] Bryan839:
Thank you. Nova launcher. With a live wallpaper.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
So does the pixel launcher actually. I thought it was the pixel launcher installed with root. But if it is happening on NOVA Launcher it tells me there's a bug in the gestures for Vivo X Fold. As a work around I used Classic Navigation which is fine I suppose

Hi guys, has anyone tried to use a Gamesir x2 type-c game pad withe the x fold? It fits inside with main screen unfolded and looks gorgeous BUT even with OTG turned on the Game pad won't connect :/ blue light blinking. And any led working only if USB cable plugged in. Thx
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Guys! You are welcome! 😉

For the new forum section I mean...

When you ask the right person politely, things happen.

Feel free to open separate threads there for different questions regarding the phone.
[Vivo X Fold] LKMR.PREZ:
Wait really!? Lol I still can't add the X Fold to my list of devices though 😢. Will this be the official forum eventually? I can see a section for the X Fold, but is it still being set up because typically the official thread is broken up further into sections for development, questions and answers, and so on right?

P.s. thanks for your efforts.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
I doubt that they will enhance the section any furtheras this is a China only (at least for now) very niche device, but it is still enough. We have a home now 🙂
[Vivo X Fold] MikeChannon:
It takes a a few days to a week or so, for a new device forum to be added to the device list (then you can add it to your list of devices).

[Vivo X Fold] Allografter:
I love this phone. It's the best built handset I've held in a very long time. The only real issue I have is with the recent apps gesture not working on Nova launcher on the outside screen whilst not being able to actually close all the apps at once on the inside screen. I've tried clearing the cache and resetting the the home launcher to originOS and back again but still no success.

Any suggestions? Cheers.
[Vivo X Fold] timalpipo:
Damn, you are right! My 😞 bad
[Vivo X Fold] LKMR.PREZ:
I think this is another vivo quirk. I've posted about it on here and haven't gotten an answer. This is the reason why I'm sticking with the stock launcher for now.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I would say it is. I wonder if we should open defects with vivo on this as it doesn't seem to be an issue with the launcher but vivo itself. Maybe something to fix in an update or Android 13?

Example booking.com or train ticket check the shot below when I click on download is still it doesn't do anything and the permission of everything is on also which is weird

[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
Okay I think it was an issue on both apps and it's the same behavior on other phones as well
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
A couple of things: comment and question. Several forum members have noted google chrome is not available (non rooted) and I noticed this as well, so I went with chrome beta and haven't noticed a difference.

Second, I want to use use a different launcher, so I created a vivo account using my email and signed in on my PC, no prob, but when I come back to my fold, I use my email to sign in and all is honey until I get to the safety verification. I can't get past that puzzle. I fell the haptic feedback by holding down the seeming fill piece, but I can't get it to move to fill the slot.

Maybe I'm a total moron, scratch maybe, but how do I get past that?
[Vivo X Fold] LKMR.PREZ:
Have you tried on both displays?
[Vivo X Fold] yesso440:
I got the same issue and the only way I did I don't know if it's going to work but it worked for me

Before doing anything make sure that play service is enabled on your phone and make sure thay your play store is the latest version

Download chrome from Vivo storevon your device

Go go to play store and make sure to use the update all button check below shot
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
No

Got it!! Thanks heaps.
[Vivo X Fold] audscott:
Got it figured out. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

One person previously reported a similar problem with his Vivo account. In the end, he made a new account with another email and that one worked fine. I did not have such issues with mine. Was running Nova launcher for a while but right now I'm back to the original Vivo launcher. With some fiddling, it is ok.
