Chrome Webpage Shortcuts saved to homescreen deleted on restart - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Anyone else seeing this? Happens every time I restart after creating them. Doesn't make any difference if I put them all in a folder. They still go!

Happens on my Mate 10 too. Try enabling auto rotate homescreen in settings (pinch to zoom) and rotate homescreen into landscape and then portrait again and see if this refresh brings them into view again.

Seems to be that changing any display settings makes them come back. Have turned darken interface colours off and they now seem to stay there after a restart!

[Q] Auto Rotate in Album

Hey all
I typically like to use my phone in portrait mode, and only want to rotate when I'm watching videos or when I'm viewing photos.
I have used rotate switches, and whilst they work perfectly, I was wondering if there is a solution to what I want.
Is there a mod/app/rule that we can set up so that the phone enables auto rotation in the Album? even if the screen is locked to portrait?
thanks

^Yeah even I prefer to keep my phone in portrait mode at all times, so I know that it's kinda annoying to toggle it on/off every time before opening the album app!
Although I couldn't find any solution for the same, there is a simple workaround. Just search for "ScreenRotate Small App" in Play Store. Using this, at least you could save yourself the hassle of navigating through the Settings every time to toggle it on/off!
you can use Tasker and create a rule to turn on auto rotate when you open the gallery (and other) apps and turn off auto rotate when you exit it

In the Tasks, you create one for turning on auto-rotate (action -> display -> display rotation -> on) and one for turning off (action -> display -> display rotation -> off). So there's 2 tasks total for this. Then in profiles, create one based on Application context, choose the applications you want and hit back, then pick the Enter task (auto-rotate on). Then long-hold the Enter task that just showed up, and choose Add Exit Task, where you'll pick the auto-rotate off task.
If you still need help (and if I have time later), I can add screenshots of the process.

Strange bugs in my Note 5 (Split screen mode, Orientation lock)

I'm experiencing some strange behaviors on my Note 5 that I can't find mentions of anywhere else on the web. The bugs are minor and pretty much everything else works, but it's still quite annoying that I can't find a way to fix these issues. Do any of you know what is causing these problems?
Firstly, when I go into split screen mode I don't have that white circle that lets me adjust the sizes of the two screens. I get that circle in pop-up mode, just not in split-screen mode. Why would this be? I can't find any item in the settings menu related to split screen mode so what happened?
Secondly, I can set my phone to auto-rotate and turn the phone to landscape, but the moment I try to lock the orientation the phone turns itself back into portrait. I'm not just talking about the launcher; no matter what app is in the foreground, I can't lock the phone to landscape unless the app forces the phone into landscape in the first place. Again, I can't find any item in the settings menu related to orientation locking.
Bump?
In regards to the orientation issue, I know the quick toggle only has portrait and auto-rotate as it's two options. I don' t think it's a true rotation lock setting.
Does anyone know anything about the multitasking circle, or is that too not a feature in the first place? (I'm pretty sure I saw screenshots with the white circle present though)

wallpaper dims when applied

Why the wallpaper dims when i applied as my home screen wallpaper?any way to fix this? I need full brightness
If you set WP from within the Settings -> Display -> Wallpaper you should click little "drop" icon with the sign "Illusion" in the bottom left corner and then move the slider to the left-most position. By default it is set at ~20% blur for some reason.

I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy!
Does anyone have a solution???
Nougat doesn't have dimed wallpapers anymore by default
still on marshmallow.. i dont think it's a default setting, more of a bug? it didnt use to happen before, it was quite a recent development for me.
I've tried everything including switching launchers and rebooting the phone, but it still won't resolve.
I don't want to do a factory reset though, that just seems like way too much work.
Don't reset your device, emui 4 dim always wallpapers but not on emui 5
Hi! I'm not sure if this will still help but when I received the latest version of MIUI Global (12.0.2), my wallpaper dimmed as well. I was able to figure out what to do. Go to Settings > Display > Dark Mode. Look for "Adjust wallpaper to Dark Mode" and turn it off. It brightened my wallpaper again.

Magazine pictures

Hey guys,
do you know if there is a possibility to add my own pictures to the magazine? If not, is there any app in which is that possible?

On my phone I use tasker to change my wallpaper every hour (if the screen is off). In settings>display>wallpaper you can select to have your lock screen wallpaper the same as your home wallpaper. Now, when tasker changes my home screen wallpaper, they both change. I don't know how else to get magazine wallpapers to randomly select from my own pictures.
Edit. I'm stupid, there are wallpaper changing apps so you don't need to use tasker, then use the setting option I mentioned. Ofc, these methods will change all your wallpapers, not just the magazine wallpaper :/
Just checked on my phone and there is a MagazineUnlock folder, have you tried just deleting and putting your own pictures in that folder?

Thank you, at least something
I copied some of my own pictures into the MagazineUnlock folder and they display perfectly on the lock screen.
Go into Wallpaper settings and at the bottom there is "album to display" you can check that MagazineUnlock is ticked or even choose another folder if you have another location you want to use.
Thank you, "Random change" was unchecked in my device so i was unable to see "Interval" and "Album to display" options. Now it works, thanks again ?

Auto change screen quality?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is an app that automatically changes the screen quality from FHD+ to WQHD+ when launching a video app like YouTube or Netflix so that it's possible to save some battery when not watching video?
Thanks in advance
Turn off adaptive power saving
Yes there is!
Use Bixby routines
For the "If" select "App Opened", pick your desired apps
For the "Then" you can select "Screen resolution"

Tried it but it doesn't work cause it have to close all apps to change the resolution so in other words I guess it's not possible at all

It does work, I just tried it. The only issue I ran into was chat bubbles from messenger enlarged when switching apps.
But your issue of having to close all apps is incorrect. I have plenty of apps in my task switcher I can change back and forth with just slight "glitching" I guess you could say because the screen resolution is changing.
