im currently looking for a new phone upgrade. so far the P9 is at the top but i have a question. does this phone support fingerprint gestures? i know the honor 8 does so im hoping that this phone does as well.
Yes, it does. But Honor 8 has a fingerprint button, which can be configured for single and dual tap functions, and holding. But the swipe and call and alarm gestures are in the P9, too.

thanks again for the help Shadowprince94! i guess ill go to my local bestbuy and take another look at the honor 8.

So I just messaged ZTE about how I think double clicking the camera button to launch the camera would be a good feature. I thought, that's too simple, there's no way its NOT there. Sure enough I look in the manual and it says " In other screens, Press twice to launch camera..." when I double press it does NOT open the camera.
I hope some dev talent picks up this device. The hardware is there just needs some polish on the software. I'm very satisfied with this phone, My first none Nexus device since before the Nexus S. I was blown away by the design and specs so I had to get a hold of one.
Yeah that feature seems to not be working at all. Bummer too.
I noticed something interesting today with my axon. When holding down the camera button in any other screen, the haptic feedback triggers. So something is assigned to the button, it may just be a programming error.

So im not the only one! thank god I was worried I had some sort of internal hardware issue... It gives the slightest vibration on a double click but nothing launches.
EDIT: I just tweeted at AXON about this issue. Hopefully bring it to their attention and we start getting some polishing on this otherwise pretty great software.
Camera Key
the quick launch feature was removed last minute out of fear of taking pictures in your pocket. It may be readded at a later date with a software update. If you have any questions call 1-800-617-5065. that number is a VIP line just for the axon pro

Hmmmm well on Twitter s/he told me they would look into the issue So I hope that they come through... If anything a double press when the screen is unlocked would be cool too.

Their R&D dept is very consumer friendly and one of their guys at headquarters is a nexus guy and he's on XDA all the time.
Yea their customer relations is on fire. I just got a message on Twitter about an update from the problem I asked about a few days ago. I'm very impressed.
Hi,
Is there anyway to enable\add the DT2W feature?
Thank you.
Unfortunately i think that is permanently removed from the stock rom. I have tried to search through Quick Shortcut Maker, but no success.
might need a custom kernel to implement this..
Not only this, but compared to Mate 8 we also don't have network speed indicator, no Autostart permission settings, no Gorilla glass, no Quick charger out of the box? Why we don't have these features? 550€ for useless Leica stamp on the back of the phone... [emoji23] [emoji23]

That's how the world rules :cyclops:
Anyway I don't miss the dt2w future as the fingerprint reader is enough convenient
Still sucks that we don't have tap to wake, this option needs to be there - end of story. And I hope they include it with an update like they did with mate8.
The flip case/fp sensor does a good job though. Almost never miss dt2w.

Hi guys,so as the title say, i plan to buy xiaomi mi5 64 gb for 250$ from aliexpress,i see this phone have so development going on and i plan to put cm on it right away,so would you recommend me to buy this phone,or is there some better phone for 250$,please note that i want to install any stock like rom on it if it dont have one from factory,but root is a must,i was also considering xiaomi mi 5s but it dont have any development,so please help me,have a good day )))))
Hi vlatko98,
I tried both in Xiaomi Shop and the Mi 5s is better IMO but since Xiaomi didn't release the kernel I choose the mi 5 because I don't wanted to take the risk to stick with MUIU.
Cheers

Does the Mi 5 have a quick shortcut to start the camera app? I haven't read anywhere how, but mind telling me? A button press? Shaking, or what?

You can long press the volume down button to take pictures while screen is off. The screen will stay off though, so you won't actually see what you're taking.

Nothing else? Like a double tap or click? Anything?
If you are going to buy the Xiaomi Mi5 , get a very hard case because it can break easily if you accidentally put a lot of pressure on the device physically. It's a very good phone. 10/10 performance , 8/10 camera ( compared to S7, google pixel) , battery life 10/10.
The Xiaomi mi5s is not worth your time...
I bought mi5 64 gb white,it will be a long time to arrive,but i am waiting thx for the suggestions guys

Developer ROM has an option you can activate to launch the camera app with a double tap on volume down with either screen off or lockscreen.
Hi,
Is anyone affected too ? Typing edges letters in the keyboard is a pain in the ass, there is too much delay. Every corners have delay, this happen in horizontal too. Pocophone seem affected too :

Mi 8 China - 128GB Blue - Xiaomi.eu 8.9.24 MIUI 10
I will try the app, but writing is not a problem on my Mi8 6/64 China version. We should check production date, maybe.
No issues here. Can understand that there could be an issue with F1 with it's cheap display, but probably a software thing.
Calibrate it maybe.
Same problem please any solution?
Yes it happens. I'd fix it by activating on screen buttons. It seems that most of the lag on MIUI 10 is related to the full screen gestures. Give it a try.

Thanks, it's much better. Hope they'll find a solution, full screen gestures is pretty nice.

No problem, glad it helped. I encourage you to use the comments app included in the phone to report this kind of bugs. I hope they step up their game on the next update cuz the OS experience is kinda far from complete.

I did it. thank you very much, is Shame I love screen gestures. The question is why does it all happen to us? What can affect some devices?
I have the same problem, i bought on mi chineses site. Bought 2 weeks after launch, i'm using right now 10.0.5 stable chinese version!
so depressing to see all this people that had this problem and i bought a redmi note 7, which is a 2019 phone and it also has this problem...
Omg at last someone who reports the same issue... I'm experiencing exactly the same with full screen gestures and keyboard edge buttons don't work sometimes like the letter "p" or "q". Also the "go to home" screen gesture doesn't work sometimes and requires me to lock and unlock the phone for it to work. Don't know what's the problem but at least I'm a little relieved because I thought I had this problem only ?
Hey guys,
Made my first ever YouTube video of an unboxing and first impressions of the Huawei Mate 20 pro.
Let me know what you think, maybe I'll do more as time goes on!
Sorry for the blurring (you'll see!)

What was blurred for half the video? And I feel the hardware for dual SIM is there but software prevents it.

Aye sorry about that. The blur is hiding my IMEI number from in the system info setting screen, but I did a bad job at adding the blur via the YouTube editor! It took overnight for the processing to complete and in all honesty didn't fancy waiting again to rectify it! Won't happen again
Your point about the sim is possible. Mine is a sim tray that's one side for the sim and other for the memory card. It's also possible however that it's a hardware thing that perhaps that side of the tray will only read a sim etc, but as you say likely software dictated...

My initial testing of it seemed good. Though for now I'm happy with using the fingerprint and occasionally my pattern security
I think you did a nice job. I see what you mean with the blurring but hey it happens! I can't wait to get mine.
