[Q] HTC One multitasking

Is it the same restrictive/sucks as HTC One X, or does it follow the AOSP multitasking performance/experience?

It's the same

If no developer has yet added the tweak to switch between stock android multitasking and HTC's version, I'd say try a different launcher.

I haven't had anything reload or refresh yet with my One. I usually have the apps running and use home to back out of them and the multitasking menu to go to another app. I'm sure it'll call me a liar and reload something today now i've posted this lol.

The two developers who did apparently took the feature out? I don't think the multitasking/recent apps function is built into the launcher...it's built into the SystemUI, I think?

As I've had to tell other people, the One X did not have "sucky" multitasking, it was just limited by only having 1GB of RAM.
This device has 2GB of RAM, and because of that, I've seen apps stay in the background for hours. I played Pinball Arcade for about 2 hours last night, came back to Chrome and it was still fully loaded with the website.
The only reason ASOP ran better with multitasking is because it started with less crap in RAM (such as all the Sense UI).

Do we have a new feature with Lollipop update such as multi tasking? For example; can I write a message on whatsapp while I listen music on youtube?

No and its not a "lack of multitasking" issue. You can not "listen" to Youtube in background (unless you are using a 3rd party app). Its a built-in restriction in the Youtube app. Google want you to subscribe to their "Google Play Music All Access" paid service so they will obviously not provide you free music via Youtube...
I also presume that there are some other reasons why they blocked this app in background mode, probably some copyright and advertisement issues..

Who asked "can I write a message on whatsapp while I listen music on youtube?"
If you wanted to know if Lollipop update enabled some Touchizz multi-windows features designed for phablets and stylus then don't ask if you can "listen to youtube while doing other stuff" and then saying that Im answering something you didn't asked...
You asked a simple and precise question, I gave you a simple and precise answer.
So I presume your question was:
Q: Does lollipop on the M7 enabled multi-windows features like its possible to do with Samsung's Touchwizz?
A: No.

pressure sensing

I turn on icon shortcut action and go back to home screen but nothing happened?!did I missing something?

use HiCare app for userguides/manual. when this option enabled, certain shortcut icons on default huawei emui home should have quick task options when pressed abit harder.

guys does the Chinese version of p9 plus support 3d screen or the pressure screen sensor? on mine it does not seem to be working, VIE-AL10

Music and video app you cant straight away. Maybe if rooted and location changed, it might get rid of the Chinese online stuff. I have sent feedback to Huawei to get rid of that so if we have a big luck might get it fixed on Emui 5.0. You can always instead just hide the app, and use some other player from google store.
For the dialer, you can get rid of the yellow page by:
settings>apps>(menu>show system processes)> YellowPage>disable

Okay thank you very much for the responses, I can't seem to find any app that can play music from the lock screen, as for the yellow pages, I have disabled it, but Everytime I press any number, there goes all the Chinese stuff that I don't knw where they coming from

Yes that remains. But in time as your contacts fill up, then those Chinese contacts show up less.
Don't forget to use the feedback app to push through the message to Huawei to get the dialer, music and video app optimized for non-Chinese speakers.
Edit: I haven't tried myself, but i wonder what happens if Music and video app taken out of International version roms are used on the our device.

Google Assistant available on the Mediapad M3!!?

A couple of days I received my Mediapad M3 and I am very impressed with this tablet,the sound,speed...Is phenomenal....And two days ago I received an update from Google with the "GOOGLE Assistant"...Is extremely weird because Google don't have any plan to give Google Assistant to any tablet,so we have the first tablet worldwide with Google Assistant ? Nice right....Now I can control all my smart things in home from My Mediapad M3 !! :good:
Here is a picture:

I can confirm. I am in the USA and have US model of the Mediapad and I held the center circle and it popped up and said I had assistant now.

That's because it appears as a phone to apps. If you change the dpi to make it appear as a tablet it will not get google assistant.

Yeah,but anyway we can enjoy the assistant in our tablet.....
Is nice anyway lol

I need this help too. Thanks!

You can set View Mode to Medium or Large and once you restart you will get Google Assistant. Then you can set it back to Small and you get to keep GA :good:

Massive Galaxy Apps update

Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.

Thanks for heads up, here's what I got

same here...

Just checked, had like 12-13 updates! Thanks for the heads up

That's the only useful new feature of all the updates.. rest all are related to integration with bixby.
It was pain to reach all the way up on this everest tall phone to pull down the notifications, real pain with one handed use. Now the issue is solved.
Thanks for the info

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.

touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Has anyone here used the app CarStream to watch Youtube?

I have wanted to move from my regular android head unit to Android Auto for a while, but some of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work don't have regular podcasts. So I have to watch them on YouTube. If anyone has used this, please let me know if it is working well. I really want to get a higher quality head unit, and this would definitely motivate me to do it. Here is a link to a video example of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AjJW0H93Y

http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/

Yes it is working perfectly fine. I've just recently started using it. It also has inbuilt internet browser and u can also watch videos from your device's internal or sd storage. But i prefer using AnyAutoAudio app while driving because its much safer as it plays youtube on the background n u dont get distracted by the video too

"Apr 2018 : Google has blocked all custom apps on Android Auto, hence this app won't work anymore." ((

Someone figured out a solution for this? Like making an Xposed module for the Google services.

I am also interested since, from April, it does not work with my daughter's displeasure anymore
there is a solution for no-root

You can downgrade the Google Play Service to 12.21.
It works. And also using Android Auto v2.95
But I choose mirroring app Android Auto over the carstream.

If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.
If not, then you won't get the app working.
If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.
In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:
1. Open LuckyPatcher
2. Tap search box
3. Search for Google Play Services
4. Tap the Google Play Services
5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.
6. Choose change the app components
7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row
8. Then search for update and you can disable:
com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)
com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)
com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService
9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:
Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!
