hey guys, I'm about to trade my htc desire for a nexus one and have read up on a few problems, and I wanted to find out first hand from you guys wether they're actually problems, or wether they are a load.
Which leads me to my questions.
Does your nexus one have any of the following problems:
1. trackball gets stuck sometimes
2. the on/off/standby switch has stopped working (or you have had to send it back to be repaired)
3. the touchscreen randomly stops working
4. 3G connectivity issue
5. Wifi problems
6. Proximity sensor sensitivity issue
7. earpiece: insufficient volume
and lastly -
Is there any reason why you would not recommend me selling my desire and buying a nexus?
Thanks,
Brandon
It would be easier to have them numbered
1. Trackball - never heard of it.
2. Power button - never had anything on mine, but there's a good reason to believe there was a faulty batch out there - some had to exchange theirs.
3. Touchscreen - The issue is that it starts "missing" the presses, registering way below. Pressing the power button twice (entering and exiting standby) "cures" it. A real issue, happens very rarely.
4. 3G - opinions are split on it, reported only by vocal minority and only in areas barely covered by 3G, and only long time ago. Personally, never saw anything that could be considered as "issue". Actually, rather good reception and good data rates over bad connections.
5. WiFi - again, depends on what "issue" is. It's not completely flawless, for example, fails connecting to encrypted network w/ Cisco 521G. Haven't had any problems on mine, though.
6. Proximity sensor - never heard of it.
7. Volume - never heard of it.
To the last question - why would you want to do that? You have a device with very similar specs that runs very similar firmware. Froyo is already out for Desire, AFAIK, and that exchange would only bring you the trackball notifications and the future updates (Gingerbread). Is that the reason for you to switch?
P.S. All or almost all of the issues listed above would be similar for both phones, since they're almost identical.

Thanks for the reply!
The problem is that the there are only about 4 chefs cooking for the desire (and about 5 others uploading their own version of the 4 roms). And the battery life on the new froyo ROMs are terrible. I used up the whole battery in about 6 hours with 3g not enabled, and brightness at the minimum.
and there seems to be much more support for the nexus. (XDA support that is)
+ there are much more cases available for the nexus, I think it looks better, and I really love the idea of the trackball and how it can change colors
P.S I forgot to ask how are the capacative buttens?
Some have said they don't exactly work (you have to press them a few times before it works)
I remember reading somewhere that you have to press them a bit above the buttons and they work fine. Is this true? or are some devices just randomly screwed?
Thanks,
Brandon
No to all.
Atleast I didn't notice
Any reason not to just keep the Desire? The n1 is great but the Desire is nearly identically and slightly better in some ways.

Does your nexus one have any of the following problems:
1. trackball gets stuck sometimes- Never had this problem......
2. the on/off/standby switch has stopped working (or you have had to send it back to be repaired)- Um, not for me.... But I have heard this happening to people.
3. the touchscreen randomly stops working - NEVER ever has this happened
4. 3G connectivity issue - I only use wifi since it's everywhere. More efficiant and faster!
5. Wifi problems - None for me.
6. Proximity sensor sensitivity issue - Nope
7. earpiece: insufficient volume - Nope, I find it too loud sometimes. But, I do have sensative hearing.
and lastly -
Is there any reason why you would not recommend me selling my desire and buying a nexus? No reasons honestly. They are both pretty similar except for support and design as well as a few other diffs. The only thing I like about the desire is it's hardware keys and chin

Ugh, I do have issues with the capacitive buttons. Like I said above, I envy hardware keys. It's not that they don't work, they just arent calibrated. You need to touch way above where they are for them to register. If you press the button where its placed exactly they don't work.
NOTE: I should let you know about all the cool things the Menu button does (second button with the lines) I just found out about the Menu button on my Nexus Lol!
I would do that trade and not have any issues at all. The nexus is The most active device right now and will be thru this year at least. Those problems you listed are not a big deal, the power button only fails for some people. Use track ball wake and you have nothing to worry about. Everything else is not really a problem.

They're all screwed equally All the capacitive buttons register too high, so you have to press higher to hit them. At least they're consistent.
not a single mention of white notification burn-in. seems common.

yup.
1. get stuck on going "down". kind of annoying but a spazz around with it fixes it.
2 yup, cant get it to unlock sometimes.
3, sort of. wouldnt mind it louder and of better quality. More depth.

:O I remember someone talking about it in the desire forum - If I use a black notification bar I should be fine right?
Brandon,
Does your nexus one have any of the following problems:
1. trackball gets stuck sometimes No
2. the on/off/standby switch has stopped working (or you have had to send it back to be repaired) Yes & Yes gettting repaired by HTC as we speak.
3. the touchscreen randomly stops working No - used to occasionally before Froyo but not anymore
4. 3G connectivity issue No
5. Wifi problems No
6. Proximity sensor sensitivity issue No
7. earpiece: insufficient volume No
8. how are the capacative buttons? Fine, If you swipe them downwards in the opposite direction but the same manner as you would, to select the notification bar. If you tap them with the pad of your finger instead of the point it also a non issue. OTOH tapping with the point of your finger you just need to tap slightly below.

I disagree and do not think the majority of power button failures are due to poor maintenance. Is your poor maintenance theory just a hunch perhaps? I keep my phone nice and clean, no obvious crap beneath the button. In another thread someone who had a failing power button dismantled his phone an reported the power button presses a switch that is connected via a ribbon cable to a circuit board. No amount of cleaning these fixed it for him. Furthermore people who have had their "power buttons" repaired have reported that all these these items appear to have been replaced when they get their repaired phone back from HTC. Same phone comes back with new IMEI because the circuit board has been changed as part of the fix. To me this suggests that on the faulty units the issue goes deeper than just the button and a users maintenance of it. I am just hoping that the FIX is permanent.
I've had my Nexus One for a few months now and I can't say I've had any of those problems, well my WiFi sometimes just disconnects, but I think that's just to do with the distance between my room and the router. As for button and trackball problems there's been none, even after a horrifying ordeal where a friend spilt beer on my N1 then instantly after in the panic I dropped it in the sand :/
The swap in my opinion can only be based purely on aesthetics, IMO the N1 is nicer, not being biased, the Desire is beautiful, I just think the N1 is more sleek. Hope this helps even a little.

Yes exactly, just use black color and you'll be fine. That white is such a horrible color anyway.

How about a poll?
1. no
2. switch is "soft" on the replacement I just received (was fine on original phone and 1st replacement)
3. no
4. YES! RECEPTION IS A BIG PROBLEM! AS IS 3G CONNECTIVITY (3 bars and websites won't load WTF?)!
5. no
6. no
7. yes
maybe add:
8. PINK screen - YES. Just keep asking HTC for replacements, screw them for their poor quality control.
9. camera color tint (blue for me) - YES. Ok for me ... but I made go another replacement binge if I find anything at fault with this phone.
10. I also experience bad call quality - got fixed by the replacement.
1. Trackball - NO problems here.
2. Power button - NO problems here.
3. Touchscreen Unresponsive - Roughly once or twice a month. I put it to standby and back, and it's fixed. I've noticed that only certain ROMs do this. I never had the problem on FRF50 or FRF83, but I have once in a while on FRF91.
4. 3G Connectivity - NO issues.
5. Wifi - NO issues.
6. Proximity sensor - NO issues.
7. Earpiece volume - NO issue, but I have always had one of Pershoot's kernels installed, which includes an "audio fix."
I would have no hesitation recommending a nexus. Though, if you're a gamer, I'd say get a Galaxy S phone because of the better GPU.
#3 is the only one that consistently pisses me off.. all the other ones are software and can and are fixed with different roms.
Picked up this phone just today and my god I love this phone to death but every phone comes with complaints. Most things arent big and will just take time to get used to but this one I cannot ignore. I love having the vibrate on keypress option selected and the HTC One when it vibrates makes this very unpleasant loose spring like sound whenever it vibrates. Am I the only one thats noticed this or is this every device?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
many people do have this ... me too.... thats my second device and both of them got this crappy vibration sound...
i replaced it because of that .... but because of that i disabled every vibration functions on this phone to get rit of it ....
so i guess you have to live with it ... try to replace it and hope you get one with a good vibration motor or disable all vibrations

Isnt that due to the OIS? Not sure about but all of my 4 Ones had that. The One of a friend also sounds like that. I´m ok with it.

I'm sure there will be soon an option in custom roms to control vibration intensity, and put it to the value you like! it's only a matter of time, I'm sure!
[I'm sure there will I am currently facing the same issue with my replacement and thinking about replacing it again but hesitant because every device comes with its own minor defects, u only notice the alight clicking in a very quite environment and only on short vibrates such as when typing, but to be honest this is as perfect as it can get, everything seems to work with this device with no problems except this, and I might apply for a replacement and end up with a worst unit and another major issue, I have emailed HTC complaining about their quality control, cuz my first device had gaps and a tiny hair under the screen, my second device had a touchscreen problem and now this one which has a minor vibration sound.
The problem is I am too picky when it comes to this kind of stuff and a little ocd about them so I am positive that other people won't even notice the issue and even the repair tech might claim it's normal and in all devices. So yeah
my device is work related so giving it to them for 2 full days is kind of troublesome for me
add me to the list
I have had my HTC One for 2 days now. I too noticed this on mine. I just chalked it up to the phone being all aluminum case vs my old EVO was plastic/metal. I have a few other complaints too lol.
Ok the rants!
1. Why did you have to move all the buttons all over the place? Seems like every button is opposite to other android phones? Especially moving the power button to the far left? Who designed this? Must of been a left handed person. Come on at least compromise and put in the middle! Stupid!
2. Why limit to only 3 buttons at the bottom of the HTC one and in all actuality...you never enabled the "HTC" to be a button so we are stuck with 2! Most phones have at least 3! Again Stupid!
3. The Home button and back buttons. Ok maybe the person designed this drives on the wrong side of the road or goes in the exit door or something? The buttons need to be flipped in my humble opinion. Home first (left side) or at least in the middle, back button to the left or right sides. OH and bring back the quick access button!
4. Ok speaking of the "HTC" logo/button at the bottom. Why put in circuitry for it to be a button and then not enable it? Stupid #3!
5. The widgets for "Bluetooth", Wireless", "Mobile", and "GPS". Why light blue for the "on notification". Seems like a **** poor color choice. At least a green or red would be fairly noticeable considering the widget itself is blue? Hello.....great designing there.
6. The power button. More recessed then ever before making it difficult to push down or even find. No step up here.
7. Lock screen can only have 1 widget on it? Really? Wow...couple steps back here.
8. Full animated weather locking screen gone/no longer available because HTC forces you to use their one and ONLY ONE version their crappy line art weather on the lock screen. I don't mind the plain jane weather for showing up in the app list but placing it on the bottom of the lock screen with nothing else is horrible. I want my weather back to the lock screen. I know I have mentioned it a lot...sorry pet peeve, have it it so long on all my other phones.
9. I won't mention Blinkfeed. I have that pushed off the side and hear that sense 5.5 is around the corner which will allow you to finally turn the damn thing off.
Hey guys, I wanted to point out that you can reduce the vibration intensity, therefore getting rid of the "springy" feeling! Just download FauxClock. (Yes you need root of course). Gratefully this app doesn't require you to flash anything, it just needs BusyBox. The only downside to reducing the intensity is after so far you basically lose haptic feedback. (I wanted to reduce notification buzz.) And this is where I went with plan B.
Plan B (NO ROOT!): This method, you guys, will make you feel real dumb for not thinking of. Personally I did this to get rid of notification buzz but keep haptic feedback, but you can also just turn off buzz on certain apps. Simply open up App-ops on Android 4.3, go through all your apps, and untick the "Vibration" permission! That's it guys! Feel dumb now?
Note: to open App-ops is an activity, you can download App-ops launchers from Play Store or, in my case, I used a Tasker task.

Why does Samsung have to change something thats beautiful from pure Android
Status bar: Whats with the stupid up/down arrows under the WiFi icon and the broadcast lines on the data icon. Does anyone care? It makes the icons look smaller and the status bar look really weird. Are the UI folks all blind? Why does the font on the status bar huge? If I enable battery percentage, thats half the width of the bar. On second thought, maybe they are blind. My N5 status bar looks absolutely beautiful.
Tweaks are nice...but: Its nice they provide some tweaks. I like the fact the phone call notification has mute ,vol, and end buttons. Nice touch but can't Samsung keep the material design in tact and add these features?
And for ****s sake, its Back, Home, and Task Viewer. Not the other way around. Sheesh.
Occasional heating of the phone (almost never happens with Nexus 5).
Horrendous battery. I think the battery life is same as my 1.5 year-old Nexus 5.
Great screen and awesome camera.
I wish they offer this phone in two flavors. Pure Android and Samsung Crap.
Sorry, had to vent.
I like the way the wifi icon is set up. And since I'm a right, the back on left is nice for me. Heating is much of a problem i noticed and battery lasts well for me. Have you cleared the cache partition?

Yes, that was one of the first things I did. Also, brightness is usually set between and 5 and 10%. The screen is very bright. So you actually find the up/down data arrows under the WiFi icon useful? How? All I always ever cared was whether I had a WiFi connection or how strong the signal was. Both were well represented in the Lollipop/Marshmallow implementations (filled in white with no discreet bars).

Yeah I've found it useful sometimes. When apps or webpages get stuck or slow, the indicater is useful to me in telling my phone's network usage.
I use the data symbols as well. Especially when uploading files to Google drive etc... Sometimes the uploads stop and the indicators help determine if it's the case. Hope they leave them there.
I love the arrows, as well. When I don't see them, I know it's time to kick my kids' tablets of the network...
I am very concerned with the heating issue. Something is drawing on my battery hardcore, which obviously increases heat. I have to power off, then back on to stop it. A standard reboot doesn't solve it.
Then get a nexus
Just bought a global version of the nubia red magic 3 and the display has a red tint like the ones on Samsung S8.. It got worse as it was emphasised when I turned on the night light:crying:

Indeed, literally I circumvent it by turning off Adaptive brightness and leave it on 50%, the game launcher has brightness control built in too so that helps. If you want gestures, I can recommend "Fluid NG" in the playstore, then run the adb command to hide stock navigation and you can turn it off and on when you want. The CN Rom truly is great but the SMS system is not good in US with their WeChat or whatever it's called lol. Plus LTE won't work you can only get 4g on CN.

RM3, 8/128GB, Red, NA variant.
Just got the phone. First impressions here first. I'll probably write a full review with pictures in a separate thread.
There's no particular order of importance of these following points.
1) The phone is gorgeous - it's a stunner. Also, huge. Makes my old OP6 look small. Side note: there's only swiping down from notification portion of the screen - meaning that you have to reach to the very top with the first swipe. But overall one-handed operation is not that much different from OP6 - in other words, tough.
2) Less slippery than all glass OP6. Feels really good holding it.
3) The display quality is on par with OP6. Not quite as picturesque as a GS9 display, but very nice looking. Haven't tested it in full sunlight yet. Also, the display is huge. Literally feels much bigger than OP6. The bezels are noticeable, but are definitely not a problem because most apps hide them.
4) Display 90Hz - you notice it right away and then you forget about it. But when I went to OP6 (the fastest phone I've used before,) it felt a bit choppy. 90Hz is real. Also, the phone itself feels significantly faster than OP6 - boot up, how quickly widgets update after a reboot, etc.
5) The battery is... fantastic - I'm so far projecting about 11 hours SOT.
6) The camera is MEH. I'll have to test it more, but so far it looks like a weaker version of OP6, which was already meh. I'm sure it's gonna provide excellent pictures in good light (haven't tried), but in low light - not so good. For example, 48mp mode is completely useless in low light. You have to switch to 12mp to get a decent shot (it combines 4 pixels into one to get more light.) I tried a few Google Cam apks, but haven't found one that worked.
7) There are bugs:
a) My sim card won't allow to set up call forwarding with AT&T. It works fine with OP6. Gonna get a new sim card tomorrow.
b) Swype keyboard (old apk) just doesn't stick. I tried like a million of different ones, none stick - phone always reverts to GBoard. Maybe it's an Android Pie issue. Very annoying.
c) Chromecast and Smart TV work perfectly except for one thing - screen mirroring doesn't work with Chromecast. You can stream, cast, mirror with TV etc, but that one single thing just doesn't work - it says Connecting...
Overall, I'm very happy with the phone, provides I can resolve some of the issues above.
Just bought the eco-sport case... It's worth the price, but if you are planning to use or buy the controller, just by the the case suitable to it...
UPDATE on the Red one:
1) Chromecast now works with screen mirroring just fine - must have needed to be rebooted.
2) I think the issue with the sim card and not being able to configure call forwarding is almost clear now - the card reports the Slot 1 IMEI as CDMA (14 digits). But even the Slot 2 IMEI (15 digits) gives an error "Network or Sim Card error." Called ATT and they recommended a new sim card, free of charge. When I get a new sim card tomorrow I will report back.
3) I have a serious issue with either the phone or the power button position. My phone rebooted 3 times in 5 minutes today. It may have been me inadvertently pressing the power button w/o realizing it. It it may be a defective phone. I rebooted the phone, cleared cache in recovery, and there were no more problems. However, the power button is in a perfect position for my thumbs, both hands, to press that button without realizing it. Maybe I'm holding it wrong.
UPDATE #2:
1) I'm still struggling with some issues but I am also getting some resolved. The power button thing came back once - I still cannot tell what the problem is.
2) On the bright side - this camera is amazing in bright light and medium light conditions.
I took some photos in good and dim lights. The results were spectacular.
Example - a room was illuminated by a single weak lamp and a distant window full of sunlight. The 12mp picture was as good if not better than a Galaxy S9 picture.
This was significantly better than OP6.
I think if someone made a Google Cam port for this camera, it would be flagship level quality.
Guys, FYI, some of our questions might be answered through this link: https://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-1472848-1-1.html
[The system of XDA won't allow me to share this as a new thread so I'll just post this a reply]
It's in Mandarin but google will translate the texts..
For those who worry about the security of the thread, here are its contents:
(P.S. They refer to the Red Magic 3 as Red Devil 3)
Since the launch of the Red Devils 3, due to its strong performance, super heat dissipation, cool appearance, and long-lasting battery life, it has attracted many magic beans to place orders at the first time. The first 90Hz screen, 4D shock and five-finger control are well received.
After the listing of the Red Devils 3, we also received feedback from some enthusiastic magic beans, and compiled this quick question for some of the more feedback problems, hoping to help everyone get started smoothly~
PS: It is expected that a new version will be pushed at the end of May (actually likely to be advanced) to focus on some of the more feedbacks.
Please have the magic beans in need to leave IMEI in this questionnaire, we will give priority to push. Https://wj.qq.com/s2/3664012/b082/
Red Devils 3 Q & A APP Banner.jpg
1, the screen has a distinct graininess, the resolution is not so high. It doesn't look too delicate, can you feel the granularity?
A: Previously, on some models, to save memory usage, the resolution of the built-in wallpaper was reduced.
Subsequent we will increase the resolution of our own wallpaper. Please download the HD wallpaper yourself to experience the clarity of the screen.
2, the screen color is a bit rich, the color temperature is a bit yellow when the eye protection mode is not opened, is it yellower than the first generation?
A: The Red Devil 3 is an AMOLED material, which is more beautiful than the LCD display. It is a normal phenomenon.
Regarding the color temperature, the factory is adjusted according to the style of the public, and also supports customization.
You can go to the Settings - Display - Screen Color Display and adjust to your favorite color temperature on the palette according to your own habits.
3. I feel that the top speaker sound is smaller than the bottom sound speaker. It sounds like no texture, no bass effect?
A: In order to give users a better gaming experience, the Red Devils 3 uses a dual-speaker and dual-tone intelligent power amplifier solution to increase the volume.
In the audio design, in order to ensure the balance of volume and tone, the upper speaker is mainly used to output the medium-high frequency band. The lower speaker outputs a full-band solution for an excellent listening experience.

To add a hidden network, open Settings - WLAN, slide to the bottom, click "Add Network", then click "Hide Network", select "Yes", and then enter the name of the hotspot you want to add to add it.
If the WiFi network that is normally displayed directly cannot be connected, please provide the brand and model of the router. We will transfer it to R&D for analysis, and we suggest that you contact the after-sales detection process directly.
11. The fever is a bit big when playing games.
A: Turning on the "Red Devils Time" will result in a slight increase in power consumption and heat. You can try to close it first. The specific path is: enter the game space, click on the avatar in the upper right corner, click on “Time Setting”, and click on the first item “Red Devil Time” to close. At the same time, click “fan adjustment” to turn on the cooling fan and adjust the fan speed to “quick cooling”.
12. The triangle on the right side of the back cover logo light is found to be out of color, and the top left of the camera is also. I thought it was the oil on my hand. I cleaned it with a wet tissue and found it to fade.
Answer: The logo on the back cover LOGO lamp and the camera is laser engraved, which belongs to physical etching. In theory, it will not “color fade”. This may be caused by dirt on the surface. Please wipe it with a dry cloth or a corner of the clothes to return to normal.
13, using Huawei, Xiaomi and other friends charger and data cable can not be charged, unplug the charger still shows charging?

14, stimulating the battlefield game is prone to the right perspective can not move?

15. After setting the screen refresh rate to 90FPS in the game space, is there a feeling of spurring the battlefield?
A: At present, only some games support the 90FPS refresh rate. Since the stimulus battlefield does not support 90FPS display temporarily, it is recommended to set the screen refresh rate to 60FPS or “Auto”. The recommended setting is “Auto”, and the game works better when the game settings match the screen refresh rate.
16. What is the effective rate of the 240Hz touch screen reporting rate?

A: The Red Devils esports game phone uses a dual antenna design. The WiFi antenna is located on both sides of the top of the phone. It is recommended that you do not hold the top of the phone with your palm when playing games or watching movies on the horizontal screen. Use your fingers to support your phone to prevent the phone's wifi signal from being blocked.
18. Will the fan get into the water and get into the ash?
A: The fan body can achieve IP55 waterproof and dustproof, and all of them have passed relevant tests. Please feel free to use them. It is recommended that you use them with care to avoid any troubles to your experience.
19. Can't connect to the computer?
A: The latest bidirectional Type-C data cable is included in the package, not the traditional data cable with USB interface.
If your computer is relatively new, with a Type-C interface (smaller, similar to the charging interface on the bottom of the phone), the original data cable included in the package can be directly connected.
If your computer comes with a normal USB interface (traditional, larger USB interface), use a traditional Type-C data cable with a USB interface. In most cases, the data cable can be used universally.
But be careful not to use the Huawei brand data cable, you may encounter compatibility issues.
After plugging in the computer, you need to unlock the phone first, and click the top line from the drop-down status bar to say "Android system is charging this device via USB", click on the menu, and then select "Transfer File", then you can get from the computer. I saw the connection information. If you still have problems, please contact the after-sales detection process.

Interesting.
First of all, I love this phone. The main selling point for me was the massive battery and from there it's just getting better counting in the other features, but as always, nothing is perfect and I'm not that experienced with Android in general so figured I'd ask away here. As a disclaimer, for all the things below, I'm not interested in rooting the phone, feel free to write if rooting is the only option though and if doing so, what I am asking for would work.
Is there any way to turn off the volume warning? Like if you're going above 70%. Seems it's a lot less aggressive than on my old S9 though.
Is there any way to add a few more steps to the volume? It appears 15 is the highest volume at the moment. And the highest volume is a bit low for my taste, when listening to music. I'm using BOSE QC20's and while they sound great, I could use a few more steps. I used some App on my S9 but it didn't really sound that well. For comparison, on the PC you can put VLC on 200% AND turn up the volume on the headset as well, if you want.
What kind of screen protection would you advice? Or shouldn't I bother with that?
How water resistant is the phone? All I know is that there is no classification yet. Even it isn't, how would you rate it? Go Swimming? Drop it in a pool of water? Walk with it in the rain? Or panic if one droplet gets anywhere close to the speakers?
Can I dual charge the phone? As in, if the Fan is connected, can I put one charger in the bottom Type-C port and one into the fan?
What happens if I put the charger in the Red sideport? Not that I would, just curious as I saw a warning saying not to.
Similar to the dual charge, would a PC gaming headset work on the phone that uses 2 3.5mm pins? The sound pin would go into the fan and the mic pin would go into the bottom slot of the phone, or vice versa?
I've been trying to change the Notification sound and ringtone for Whatsapp using the same sounds I had for my S9. I've added both (Orange & Whisper) but they just don't want to work. I made them in .mp4 (aac), .mp3 & .oog formats. When I select them in the list, they are played as they should but when I get a message and/or recieve a call, the latest (standard) signal is instead used.
Update: I managed to get the notification sound to work now (Whisper). By going into the Phone Settings -> Notifications -> WhatsApp. Seems that option in there would override the App Settings. However, when I get a call now, BOTH the original ringtone and the S9 (Orange) one is played ontop of each other.
While we are on WhatsApp, how can I remove the big notifications. Like, there's 2 types. The one at the top of the screen (I want this) and then it's the big popup in the middle of the screen (that has a reply field and some more options (I don't want this). I remember it was a hassle to get rid of on my S9 so thought I'd ask.
Bug or feature? When I'm inside a program and exit back to the Home screen, I've noticed the "locked" bottom row starts jumping, as if they want to swipe up. I'm using the Two-Layer mode. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature "showing" me there's stuff down there.
Last but not least, can I move the clock on the lockscreen? It's currently in the top left corner, I'd prefer to have it centered.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!
I've replied in line to the questions I can answer.
How water resistant is the phone? All I know is that there is no classification yet. Even it isn't, how would you rate it? Go Swimming? Drop it in a pool of water? Walk with it in the rain? Or panic if one droplet gets anywhere close to the speakers?
Not very, there doesn't appear to be any waterproofing, check the sim card tray for example, no rubber seal.
Can I dual charge the phone? As in, if the Fan is connected, can I put one charger in the bottom Type-C port and one into the fan?
You could but the phone isn't going to charge twice as fast, I think it'll likely only charge from one port but shouldn't do any damage.
What happens if I put the charger in the Red sideport? Not that I would, just curious as I saw a warning saying not to.
People say it dies but I haven't tried it, it's not the same as a C port so you'd have to force it.
Similar to the dual charge, would a PC gaming headset work on the phone that uses 2 3.5mm pins? The sound pin would go into the fan and the mic pin would go into the bottom slot of the phone, or vice versa?
No, there's no mic in option afaik.
Bug or feature? When I'm inside a program and exit back to the Home screen, I've noticed the "locked" bottom row starts jumping, as if they want to swipe up. I'm using the Two-Layer mode. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature "showing" me there's stuff down there.
Probably a feature as I think I've seen that on some pixel launchers but I don't use the stock one personally.
1) There isn't;
2) You can only set Outdoor Mode on, but the volume will go up, no volume steps wil be added;
3) I think you should go for one with good comments, since you have the fingerscan under the display and a screen protection may void It;
4) the phone is not certified for water/dust resistance. So, just avoid contact with water. Tho, I don't think some raindrop will ruin it;
5) You cannot dual charge the phone;
6) The Red sideport is a Trademark Port made by Asus exclusively for their optional accessories. So, just leave It alone if you don't wanna be sorry;
7) No such phone will ever have the drivers made for Windows/MacOs which makes the headset to work on a personal computer;
8) You can have this setted on the Sound Settings;
9) You can have this setted on the Notification Settings;
10) that's a feature;
11) you must use third part apps for that.
Thank you so much, both of you.
The volume warning is a lot less of a pain than I initially thought. The one on the S9 is rather agressive so had some bad experiences. Can't say I notice any diff with Outdoor mode but I'll try more later, suppose it's fine.
Good point about the screen protection, I'll definately keep the fingerprint sensor in mind.
The waterproofing, or non-waterproofing rather is one of the Con's of the phone I suppose. Not that it's an issue but I'd rather not care at all as I could with my old phone. Thanks for clarifying though. My dad lost his old iPhone 6 to having his phone in the rain so I kinda know the limit then (as that also lacked any kind of cert).
No dual charging, makes sense. One takes prio.
Yeah, I'll not mess with the red port. @willhemmens, dies as in "throw the phone and buy a new one" or "phone shuts off but just restart and it's fine". (Like, battery is dead/dies). Just curious here really.
I see, that's too bad. Suppose I'd have to get one of those 2 becomes 1 3.5mm cable adapters.
@NajimKiSaad, that's just for the phone ringtone/sms though? This is for Whatsapp exclusively. It's as if a WhatsApp call triggers as a normal call as well as it's own settings, kinda.
Hm, where? Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> WhatsApp -> Notifications, it's set to - Behavior: Make Sound. Same in the App itself, Popup is not enabled anywhere.
"Bug or feature? When I'm inside a program and exit back to the Home screen, I've noticed the "locked" bottom row starts jumping, as if they want to swipe up. I'm using the Two-Layer mode. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature "showing" me there's stuff down there."
Well, that's good to know. How do I disable it? I just find it annyoing.
And for the clock widget on the Lockscreen, any recommendations? I like the style of the default one, just the position is kinda off.
Once again, thanks for all the answers!
Not related to your questions but have you felt that this phone just cuts off the internet connection to Whatsapp? I don't get notifications after a while and the Whatsapp Web says that my phone is not connected to internet even though there is internet. Whatsapp only starts working when I open this app. Then, I get all the messages. I have allowed unrestricted internet access to this app and turned off battery optimization for this app. Any ideas?
That's interesting, I haven't had it as you describe it no but since I got the phone, I've noticed the "last online" doesn't always show on my friend I have on WA. Could be that she has turned it off but it works sometimes.
Looking at the top bar on the phone, I added internet speed and it says 0 B/s quite often so my guess is that it only uses internet on demand, maybe it has something to do with that?

Think I might have seen a post about it too, could be wrong though.
