Hi,
Stupid request, is there anyway to sort contacts by last name ? Can't seem to find an option for it on the default app and I installed Google Dialer / Contacts and they don't want to do it either. They show by surname first, but still sort by first name ...
It's driving me nuts.
Thanks
Open Contacts. Hit the hamburger menu button on left (3 lines). Hit the gear button for settings.

Where is that screenshot from ? Samsung or Google Dialer ?
Cannot find the setting in Samsung one and Google displays last names first, but does not sort by it.

I found the same screen, I don't have the option?
Yeah that was the Samsung Contacts app
It seems the march update removed sorting options from contacts. I have the same proble as Theberge43 in 2 S10s with different CSCs.

I had the same issue before the update.
I think this is a regional variation. I have an S10 sourced from Hong Kong and I have checked with the local Samsung support desk and they say sorting contacts by last name is not an option.

I have a dual-sim S10+ (G9750) and I have the same issue — the option to sort contacts is physically removed from Samsung's contacts app. Moreover, even when using Google's own contacts app that still has the option to sort by last name, there is no effect — whichever sorting option you choose, it still sorts all contacts by first name.
Now, I thought I could easily solve the issue by flashing some other regional ROM, but it turns out that dual-sim options in China and Hong Kong (G9750 vs G975FD) actually come in Snapdragon variant, as opposed to dual-sim Exynos variants in Europe or elsewhere. As much as I prefer Snapdragon variant, I now cannot flash any stock rom for Exynos dual-sim variants, thus being stuck with first name only sorting for contacts.
I cannot fathom why would anyone remove such an option, especially for international versions of a flagship phone.
I have found a way to change that. Go to Settings - Apps - Contacts, then hit the "gear" button in the upper right corner and there you can find "sort by" and "show first".
No it doesn't work on a HK region based s10, the option is not there ?
Samsung contacts order
Thank you stigg14 finally got my contacts in correct order.

On Android 11, One UI 3.1 still has this problem? Today I noticed that I do not have the options "Sort contacts by" and "Name format".
Can the problem still be solved in Settings->Applications? I can not make it! Can you give me a print screen?
Application version: 12.1.10.42.
Thx.

At least I am not the only one... I have a international Dual sim S20 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G G9880 12gbRam 256GB
There is no option in the contacts menu to sort contacts at all. I want to sort by last name.
Tried https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S20/phone-does-not-have-a-way-to-reorder-contacts/td-p/13...
Does not work for me. NO "Sort by" option in the menu. What fool forgot a sort function ???
Nor is there an app I can find that sorts the phone's contacts.
Please help.

Are there no stock USA roms for the Snapdragon ? G9880 owner.
I am in the USA
I use Google Contacts. I do not use Samsung apps. They are garbage.
I have my S10+ and s S20 Ultra.
So, to further complicate the issue,
if I setup my contacts correctly according to Google contacts on my computer, putting the correct info into the correct blank spaces.... I get last name first and company names in alphabetical order but ALL of my Doctors are listed under the letter D "Dr. ______ , _________"
But on My S10 they all listed properly including Doctors in alphabetical order last name first.
As Expected, My S20 Ultra can not sort anything. Its first name or prefix first. I was hoping the recent upgrades to Android 11 or 12 would fix this. The updates did nothing.
So, to find and be able to search for any contact on three different platforms I now have resorted to making redundant contacts.
In google contacts:
1. I have a correct list, putting the correct info into the correct blank spaces
2, I have the same contacts also listed backwards, putting the last name in the first name slot and vice versa.
3. I abuse the File AS slot depending on the type of contact for Doctors I list "Last, Dr. First - Type of doctor." For personal names I do not use the Save as slot, For businesses. I put the familiar version of the company name in the Save As slot and the true company name on the "Company” slot.
4. Every contact must have at least one nonidentical duplicate/ Different enough so the Auto merge function, which I HATE, does not recognize similar contacts. This is done with adding spaces and carriage returns in the middle of Names, phone numbers, email addresses etc.
I do end up with nearly triple the contacts but I can always find and in needed search for what I need.
Plus, Google is well known to auto merge or delete contacts. It happens to me a lot. But since my contacts are redundant, they never delete both or all three versions of any one contact.
I also shut off the auto sync and only add new contacts when I am on my computer. Google differentiates a contact entered on a cellphone from one entered on a computer.
Contacts entered on a cellphone may only be local and may not be shared with other phones you own. But contacts entered on a computer ARE shared with all phones on an account.
Nope this helps.
@mrgcav I'm not sure if you're asking a question or not, or what your question is. But, I wanted to point out that I use the Google phone app (which includes the contacts within it). In there, you can change the settings (3 dots menu) and set the display options to do first/last or last/first as you desire.
I would agree that having this to deal with would be annoyed with, but I find I just search for what I want, and that eliminates most of my issues with using it. Searching finds the name first or last without issue, so it makes it much faster and easier to find. I never scroll to find contact names... I have far too many (my cell is actually running my company as well, so I have 2 numbers (cell + google voice work number) and contacts in both sides, and this searches through both accounts without issue. If I really wanted, I can find business-only contacts by going to the GV app and searching there, too... point is, I don't scroll there either.
If you have read all my posts then you know my problem. My most recent reply yesterday was my workaround solution of the problem.
I m glad to heat you have something that works for you. But in my case it does not apply.
Because my phone is different than yours. You probably have a locked corporate carrier trackable phone. The data on most phones is not private and google in their user agreement says they have a right to copy any data you have on your phone. Google will share with Police and government agencies and sell your data. to anyone.
I have unlocked Samsung untrackable (nearly) phones. Google cannot copy my data unless I let them. My phone, My data. Google is always asking me for access to my media and files on my phones. It is annoying. Google apps will turn themselves on and off at will even if disabled.
Example: I do not use google Translate. I used it once and deleted it. It reappeared and I have not been abel to delete it since. I have it "Disabled" but it runs in the background trying to collect data anyway.
Anyway.
Under the three dots I do not have sorting functions as I mentioned previously, Nor does sorting solve the Sir name prefix problem such as "Dr."
I search as well but before using my workaround the search would not find all instances fo what I queried.
Then there is the fact that google deleted contacts. Which I also solved.
So maybe I need to explain it better, assuming you read it thoroughly.
You can think you're not being tracked, but if you're using the internet in any way, you can be tracked, period. I'm not saying your efforts aren't worthwhile, but I don't think just installing/disabling/removing apps will get you where you want to be (you need to have a far deeper control of the OS to get there). Regardless, feel free to carry on with your intentions... good luck.
Anyway, I think you're still asking for a way to sort contacts. Assuming that's the case, my point is that many apps can offer that functionality, so you should be able to find one that meets your needs. I recall I had used one in the past called DialerOne and that one seemed to have lots of options like the ability to sort by first or last name. I simply used the Google phone app as an example, really.
I agree, I'm not fully understanding what you're looking to accomplish with this particular thread. I would like to help, so if you want to explain, I'm happy to continue to try.

Hi everyone,
Today I released an application I've been working on for the past week. I'll be adding new features, such as exclusion list for speak aloud's, etc. This works with all the contacts on the phone (Facebook, etc.).

NEW PRO FEATURES: voice on Bluetooth A2DP headsets and wired headphones, smoother and improved UI

- Ads are displayed on the application.
- After each call, the phone will advertise Caller Name.
PRO version:
- Lowers ringtone after two seconds to say name aloud.

FIXED: in some situations, the ringtone wouldn't reset back to normal.
ENHANCED: faster loading of the contacts.
ENHANCED: minor GUI glitches.

How to use the widget?
Press-and-hold your finger on an empty space on the phone's main screen. Select Widgets and then Caller Name. That will add a new icon on the phone's main screen. You can use it to toggle the talk aloud functionality ON/OFF without changing your phone's ringtone volume (it automatically turns OFF is set to vibrate/silence).
If any problems, please JUST SEND ME AN EMAIL, I can better keep track of those than comments on the MarketPlace! Giving a bad review doesn't help me fix anything...
Thank YOU for the bug reports, they are extremely useful to improve the application's functionality. Before giving a bad review, please drop me an email so I can investigate what could possibly be wrong.
Thank YOU for the suggestions, they really help improving the application!
Let me know what you guys think, suggestions are also welcome!
BR,
¬D
nice app man!

I've updated the application today to fix a few bugs. I've also removed the ad's that would show up after the calls. So now it's pretty much like Pro, except for the smoothing of the voice when the call is ringing.
You can also uninstall the application and reinstall the application that previous licenses are restored automatically.
Enjoy!
New updates:
- Read aloud SMS senders, widget to turn it off without having to fiddle with sound settings.
Current version is 1.8!
great app!
Thanks

Was keen to try this app, downloaded and have not been able to get passed the opening screen before a popup tells me its not working and must force close or report.
HTC Sensation
Fixed that problem, current version 2.2
It was a silly mistake where I was trying to do Pro features on non-pro version... and also there was a problem with the keyboard not showing up on HTC Sense devices (blame HTC for their modifications on the framework...).
nice app man!
Bluetooth?
So far Pro version works good on my Bionic. But... if this would announce through my Bluetooth when connected instead of my phone speaker then it would truly be perfect. Any possibility of adding that feature?

That's an awesome suggestion. I'll add it to the list of things to-do. I also have on the list a letter-based selection of the contacts too, for easier filtering when driving.
yes it is a usefull application.

I've modified the first post to add the wish-list and to-do's. Suggestions are welcome, if there is something you'd like me to consider for future versions.
Nice app, using the pro version.
I've noticed two issues though. 1) no name is announced if a contact only has a last name. ie: contacts first name is left blank. 2) on a test, I sent an sms from my 360 area code phone to my 352 area code phone and no name was announced.
Would it be safe to assume this happens simply due to the way my contacts are set up?

Hi there RRSpikes,
1) I can fix that issue, will be fixed on the next version. Just need to add a verification, nice catch!
2) I'm just guessing you don't have your own phone number on the other phone? The application doesn't say the name if it can't find the contact by the phone number.
Thanks!

For #1, cool, thanks.
For #2, both phones (Tmo SGS2 & Sprint SGS2/ETg4) have active service. Could the key to this be that both numbers are in my contact list under the same name? I doubt this will make a difference but I also forward my 360# to my 352# or vice versa depending on where I'm at.

Hum... So both devices are SGS2 correct? I was thinking if it could be an API issue with a manufacturer. So let me see if I got it correctly, if you send from Tmo -> Sprint and vice-versa, it never says your name? Can you check if on the messages app, it appears your name? Is your personal contact a Google Contact or something else? Also, can you try asking someone to send you a text and see if it is working?
Thank you for helping me figuring this out!
great app
what do you think of adding...
read selected text
say the time (triggered by pressing vol up+down or cam button or whatever )
i cant think of anything more right now, my mind is bent on my UCAS.... hope you like my suggestions, sorry if they are a repeat, didnt have time to read the whole thread

Hi PersianSphinx,
Reading the message itself... I could do that, but it kinda is a bit out of scope to the Caller Name. The app is about letting you know from who, not the content. It is only my opinion, but if the phone would read my messages aloud, I wouldn't like it. Unless you are driving or something... I guess I could think about it if the device is connected with a BT headset.
Saying aloud the time, totally out of focus

I do like this app, but there are currently two issues that stop me from getting it.
a) Duplicate entries. In the case where a local contact is also on FB, it creates two entries. I know there is an option to hide one of these, but this also means you lose half of the contact details. It should be possible to merge these, no?
But more importantly
b) Ads and I'm not talking about the banner ads (although would prefer an ad-free version - paid for, of course). The issue is the added icons linking back to your other apps. Fair enough if these were in the about page or something, but remove them from the menus. It just ruins the clean look of an otherwise excellent app.
If you made a fully ad-free version and found a way to deal with linked contacts, I'd be more than happy to pay for this app.
First of all, thank you for the feedback.
About A, the duplicate entries. I think it is currently not possible for third party apps to get the linked contacts in Windows Phone. Even if you linked two or more contacts there is no way for a developer to find out they are linked. Please someone correct me if I am wrong here(I hope I am).
About B, the color icons in the app bar. I am sorry they annoy you. I believe this is a less annoying way to promote my other apps. It is just an icon. But you are correct, they should be limited somehow, not showing so much and maybe only in certain screens. Point taken.
Once the app becomes mature I will release a paid version without ads.
Nice app, duplicate contacts can be hidden, its fantastic.
But - stupid adds on bottom page, some strange buttons.
I'd rather pay some money than annoying adds...
So, now its unusable for me.

I've seen some apps that pull data from Facebook and Windows Live; merging it into one contact. However, I believe this is done by comparing the name and probably depends on it being exactly the same. Having thought about it a bit more, I think your solution of being able to hide one is actually quite a nice way of dealing with it; plus it has the added advantage of being able to hide those birthdays you're not necessarily interested in.
It would be great if you released a paid version. Keep us posted if you do, as I really like the app and would definitely buy an ad-free release.
Keep up the good work!

Sorry you see it that way. But that's how life is - free apps come with ads. I tried to make ads unobtrusive and looking nice, but it is only possible to some extent.
About the color icons in the menu: they were not color at first, but then they looked similar to the other icons and you expect them to do something related to the current screen, which I think is worse. I decided to make them color - they look nice, different and you always know what they do. This is for the black theme. If you are using white theme, they look the same as other icons (black). There is nothing I can do about that.
As I wrote, once the app matures I will release a paid version. I just want it to be perfect if I am going to take people's money for it, this is why I am waiting a bit. Also, I will make the color ad icons in the app bar appear less often and in fewer places, as I promised Gorki247.
Thank you for understanding.

Yes, it is possible to merge contacts by comparing the name, However, I think the name is rarely exactly the same in Facebook and in the phone(Windows Live). The main reason is that in Facebook your friend normally writes his real name while in the phone you write whatever name you know him by (maybe a nickname or just the first name).
I have an idea on how it might be possible to merge contacts but I am not sure it will work. I will try it for one of the next versions and will let you know if it works or not.
Thank you for the feedback and for understanding the problem, it's always good to have a constructive discussion. This really helps me make Birthdays Diary a better app.
I will definitely announce it here when I release a paid version.
New version released!
The next version of Birthdays Diary is now available in the marketplace! I hope you'll like it! You can download it from here.
The update adds several new features and also fixes some known issues. Here is the complete changelog:
Version 1.2 changes
[New] Ability to add custom anniversaries

[New] Compatibility with low-memory devices
[Improved] Birth date is now visible in search
[Improved] Advertizing menu icon is now showing much more rarely

The inbuilt windows phone calendar does a great job in syncing and reminding all the birthdays of your windows live,fb contacts. But this a nice app as well.

Very nice app!
it's the most fluid birthdays app I tryed.
I just miss the possibility of notifications like reminders.
Apart from that it's very good.

Hi eltonada,
I am glad you like the app!
Reminders are definitely coming in one of the next versions. I am currently thinking on the best way to implement them.

Great review, thank you!
Also, I really appreciate the suggestions, they definitely make sense. Since this is the official forum thread, I will write a few comments:
Suggestion 1: improving responsiveness.
I am trying to improve responsiveness all the time, but there is always more to be desired. Also, it is different on different phones. For example, it works great on Lumia 800 with its 1.4 GHz processor. It works fine on the Omnia 7, but not as fast as on the Nokia. I guess it would be worse on the Lumia 610, but I do not have such a phone yet.
Suggestion 2: pin individual user as live tile.
This is definitely doable, but you can also pin a user from contacts. You can also post on his wall from there. I am not sure what can I do to make it better. Please let me know if you have something in mind.
Suggestion 3: integrate Facebook Contacts with Contacts on the phone.
I am already working on this. This was an idea since the first version but I never had the time to do it. It is not very easy, you can read my earlier posts in this thread for more info on that topic.
Suggestion 4: Pull in last status update for the Facebook contact.
This is also doable. I am also thinking about other ways to integrate Facebook. For example, maybe it would be nice to see who else wrote on your friend's wall for his birthday.
Let me know if you have other suggestions or anything else you want to share about the app. I will be happy to discuss it.
Looks fascinating, I like the GUI, will try it out.
Hello everyone,
Version 1.3 is now available worldwide. It is mostly a bugfix release, here are the changes:
[New] Introduced a setting to disable category-based background color for the live tile
[Improved] Spell check is now enabled for Name and Description fields (when adding custom anniversary)
[Fixed] Minor Facebook integration issues were fixed
[Fixed] "Single birthday" mode for the live tile now works correctly
Another update is coming soon, it will include support for three new languages: Portuguese(Portugal), Portuguese(Brazil) and Dutch.
I would appreciate your help with translating the app to other languages as well. If you want to help, just let me know and I will send you the files. It should take no more than 2-3 hours if you are fluent with the language.
Thank you, I hope you like the new version.
Paid version released
A paid, ad-free version of Birthdays Diary is now available. You can get it from here: http://bit.ly/Krfrvr
The paid version is exactly the same as the free version, except it does not show ads at the bottom of the screen.
Please note, that the paid version uses different storage than the free version. This means you will lose any settings or custom anniversaries you have entered. This is a limitation of Windows Phone, one app cannot access the storage of another. I am planning to introduce SkyDrive integration and the ability to back up and synchronize data there, but this is not yet available.
Thanks ldokov. I noticed the paid version today and bought it immediately based on my experience with the free version. This is the best Birthday app out there, IMHO. Works really well on my Lumia 800. Great job!
Personally, I also love the fact that we can add other anniversaries and set the live tile to use the relevant colour. It's a really useful feature.
Edit: Just noticed that with adding a custom birthday, the 'year is unknown/does not matter' option doesn't seem to do anything; i.e. the entry will still show a birth year even if this box has been ticked (unless I'm missing something).
Thanks

Hi Gorki247,
I am glad you like the app!
Indeed, I just tested it and it is a bug. Even if you check that the year is unknown, it still shows you the selected year. This will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for reporting it. :good:
Hi everyone,
I would like to announce that version 1.4 is now available!
The most significant in it is the support for four new languages: Dutch, Czech, Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil).
Here is the full list of changes:
[New] Four new languages are now available: Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch and Czech
[Improved] Live tile: if contact picture is unavailable, contact name is always displayed
[Fixed] The app was crashing sometimes when selecting main or related contact for custom anniversary
[Fixed] Filtering by category was not working properly

What to do about the not not working volte? Earlier even after june security patch volte with jio was working fine but ever since hmd released that server update, it's all messed up. Can't make calls at times and the data doesnt work most of the times. What should i do?
Dual sim dialer and hands free
Hi my previous dual sim phone had a dialer where you could key the phone number and press one of 2 dial out icons (one for sim1 and one for sim2).
Is an option like this available in the standard rom 7 plus ?
I have set the default dialing sim to sim1 so that hands free works as per my previous phone. Is this necessary for hands free ?
Anyone here from Korea? I cannot use VoLTE. Apparently, Nokia phones are not registered in the VoLTE here. Living in place that has the fastest internet and call connection, the 2018 phone becomes the bottleneck. Smh.
Does anyone know a workaround for problems like this?
Hi,
I've got two questions.
1. Is it possible to stop Google Play from adding new icons for every app installed in the default launcher? I don't want to change my launcher, hence my reason for asking.
2. Is it possible to have multiple variants of messengers in the phone, kind of a similar feature in S7 after Oreo update? I need one for my work Sim.

Try apps like Parallel Space, here are some alternatives on a quick googlesearch. https://alternativeto.net/software/parallel-space/

Yes, you just need to disable the Add Icon to Home Screen setting in the home settings - see screenshot.

No, no native dual messenger option in the Android One version. The China market software, on the other hand, does have this function (my wife has the Chinese version of the 7 plus).

Hi all,
just got mine. So far i like it. There are a few things that bother me though.
1: settings->storage->internal shared. At the bottom in system i have 13GB used. Why so much? I cant imagine that android 8 uses so much.
2: in developer settings i saw aptx, aptx HD and a lot more to chose from. But every time i select anything else then the default and exit dev options, it reverts back to default. Why that?
Im on 8.1.0.
Thanks!
PS: is there some PC software available for the new HMD Nokia lineup? I know in the past there were the Nokia PC suite and Ovi suite but i doubt they work with the new phones.
I have a really odd WiFi problem with my Nokia 7 plus. I had problems when I first set it up - I couldn't enter my Google credentials over WiFi. It would only work with a SIM inserted to use mobile data.
Since then it appears I can't browse, or use applications on the Nokia 7 Plus which use secure connections over my home WiFi - eg. Twitter, Amazon login etc.
No other devices (Mobile Phones, Laptops, Tablets/ Smart TVs) are affected by this problem using the same network, no special rules have been created for this host on my WiFi AP/Router.
And I don't get the problem on other WiFi networks - only the Nokia 7 Plus on my home Wifi. Anyone else experienced this or know what to do to fix it?

how to unlock the bootloader of nokia 7 plus ta-1062? the chinese variant of this phone doesn't allow me to use google pay
Hello,
Am rocking a Nokia 7 plus but it is now stuck in April security patch after downgrading from Android p beta 3 to Android Oreo 8.1.0 .Also checked manually in the system settings but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.
How is the build quality?
Hello
I have just bought this phone couple of days back and i am loving it so much so far.
I have not even touched its ceramic coated back yet and have just put the plastic cover as soon as i opened the box,
Is the ceramic coated rear and overall build is such fragile to spoil quickly ?
My mom's Moto G5 Plus still has decent quality back after an year of not very careful use.
So, what is your suggestion ?
Here are a few that I've seen demos on but could not get to work on my North American (Rogers) Huawei Mate20 Pro. Publish other features confirmed not working.
Build Number: 9.0.0.146(C792E15R1P17)
- Hivision. This feature covers the missing "eye" logo from the camera app, dragging up from the bottom corner of the screen to launch Hivoice and Hivision, the missing "eye" beside the search bar found after dragging down (in Gesture mode) to open the device search and the two finger press action to identify "on screen" objects. Hivision not available was
- Magazine Unlock: The ability to use and configure the Magazine Unlock features on the phone. you should be able to select through a list of feeds that get displayed in your personal "Magazine". The feature is supposed to be available under: Settings > Security & privacy > Screen lock & passwords > Lock screen style, and select the default Magazine unlock style.
- 3D Live Maker - You may be able to find this in the Google Play store. I did. It's called "3D Live Maker" - developer contact is [email protected]
Citations on Unavailable features:
Hivision. source huawei.ca online support chat:
Quote from Huawei Support Chat:
Me: the phone help system suggest that I can use Hivision to identify items on my phone's display, but when I try the feature (by two finger pressing on a website for example, as described, I get a system message saying "Install HiVision to access this service"
Support: Yes, I would like to share with you that some features such as this one are not available in North America.
Me: What about the AI Google Lens like feature where I can take a photo and identify what that is in that photo? Like types of food and what not?
Support: Yes, actually this is the same feature, from HiVision.
Me: So Hivision is not available in north america at all?
Support: As of yet, we do not have these feature available.

Magazine Unlock.
source huawei.ca online support chat:
Quote from Huawei Support Chat:
Me: I was looking for information on how I can configure the Magazine Unlock features of my new phone. I saw a video online that suggested I should be able to click on Setting -> Home Screen & Wallpaper from there I should be able to see a screen like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
however, what I see is this one:
as you can see, I don't have the "magazine unlock " button
Support: Please go to the main Settings menu screen, at the top, on the Search bar, input Magazine, and tell me the options you see.
Me: None. Nothing comes up when I input Magazine.
Support: After double checking this situation, if you could not find the option through the steps previously mentioned this will mean that function is not available on your phone yet.
But do not worry, at the moment there is an update for the Mate 20 Pro that will arrive Over The Air by the end of this month, that will help us to add some features. My kindly suggestion for you is to wait for this update to arrive and install it on your device, in order to check this feature. Also, please allow me to invite you to visit our consumer website, we have manuals, FAQ and other information that can be helpful for you: https://consumer.huawei.com/ca/support/
Me: I actually was on that site before coming to support. I downloaded the manual but it did not have any reference to Hivision, or magazine unlock, while all of the information on the rest of the internet does would you happen to have a list of features that are not available in the north american version of the phone?
Support: My kindly suggestion for you is to visit our consumer website, we have manuals, FAQ and other information that can be helpful for you
Me: Do you have a list of features that the end of month update will be bringing?
Support: Currently there is no information about the contents of this update, I kindly suggest you to contact us back once you receive it, so you are certain that we have all the information about it.

Where in heaven's name is this Huawei online chat? I searched high and low on their site but I don't see anything. Were you using Facebook or Twitter maybe?

Lol.. sec. I'll post a screen shot of cdn site when I get back to desk
HiVision only works on the Chinese model. I haven't read any official word about whether it will be available on other models.. It seems to be linked to Huawei's Chinese alternative to Google Assistant.
I have Hivision here on the Australian LYA L09 Single Sim.
Have the eye top left of camera in photo mode. Also 2 finger hold down on screen for search in website and other applications.

So from the Huawei Canada site:
www.huawei.ca
click Phones and more, this should take you to the consumer site consumer.huawei.com/ca/support
Click Support
Then you'll see a contact us button lower right corner of the screen, click on that
should launch support options, click on online chat
fill in information and you should get an attendant. If not, try back later. One popped up really quick for me during business hours.

Hola
My appreciation mate for going through this. Interesting that I don't see this widget in my browser. I must have some security feature turned on or similar that may be blocking this. I will look into this tomorrow. Again THANK YOU very much! :highfive:
It has been explained to the OP on several occasions that the 'Magazine Unlock' feature is fully implemented and working - just not in the settings themselves. You go to 'themes', and then 'me', and then 'cutomize', and you are free to choose 'Magazine Unlock' as your style of lockscreen. You don't need to even have a Huawei ID in order to do this. To actually customize the Magazine Unlock, you do it from the lockscreen itself. It all works, and it is as perfectly useless and horrible as one could imagine. Can someone please tell me what the point of having a lockscreen at all it? I pick up my phone, and it unlocks. WHY would I want to flip around to various backgrounds, or fudge my way through clunky and broken notifications, or do anything else from the lockscreen?

It has never been accurately explained - and, with all due respect, you are posting more rubbish (ie your last inaccurate post saying Hivision was Chinise fw only). You are confused. You are customizing the lock screen image for Magazine Unlock within the Theme, not the Magazine Unlock functionality. You are modifying a THEME configurable customization, not the Magazine Lock feeds. As quoted from Huawei - the feature is not available in the North American software load. You will not get a hit if you launch settings, type in Magazine into the search bar, AND have a North American software load.. Could someone who has a non-N/A version of the phone

While this isn't the thread to be posting a question like that, I'll entertain you, just this one time. Not everyone wants their phone to unlock immediately after looking at it, they may have personal, confidential or sensitive information behind the lock screen. This is precisely why there is an additional configurable "slide to unlock" after facial recognition. You have chosen to disable it, but I believe it's enabled by default - to each his own.
I'm not sure if you have been personally offended somewhere along the way or not, but i'd appreciate it if you would stop following me around, unless, of course, the unlikely event occurs where you are able to post some accurate or helpful information.

Quick question. Just to make sure I understand. By Magazine unlock do you mean the ability to have a different lock screen every time you wake up your phone or do you mean something else?

Yes - however the feed selection option is missing. Currently you can only select images from downloaded themes
The missing functionality is the ability to select/configure new feed streams.

Hivision?
Any updates on HiVision in Canada?
I'm with Telus and on 9.0.0.127. No HiVision yet.
Is there a way to install it manually?
I downloaded to the global 171 firmware from my Optus Australian firmware and lost all the magazine lock functionality as well.. it's technically still there but the images and categories that you could change before are gone.. had to aslo download some Huawei apps. Huawei ID up the top in settings is missing as well . Strange... Maybe because this firmware isn't technically really for public yet...

The very last thing anyone needs is for us to get into a pissing match about this. I just want to say that I have never said anything about Hi-Vision, so direct that particular witch hunt elsewhere. As for the Magazine Unlock, uhhh... What is your continued argument on this subject? It works, perhaps not in the way the the brochure promised you, but it works and the irony is I left it enabled and now I love it. The pictures featured are incredible, and the real power of it is that you could give your phone to someone else and they could do a variety of things with your phone without being able to unlock it. They can obviously take pictures, they can set alarms or timers, they can use a calculator, they can record audio, and they can use the flashlight. The ability to 'customize' it comes in the form of adding pictures to the gallery it uses to rotate through.
This phone is pretty new, so by all means contact Huawei and plead the case for Hi-Vision to be unlocked here in North America, but... So far, we have received timely updates via OTA, and we have even been given stuff like the crude beta implementation of IR scanning, which I hope they develop further. I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, either way I doubt you will force an official answer out of them. A year from now, if we still don't have Hi-Vision we can talk about abducting the children of their CEO out of an airport to hold as hostage... Er, wait never mind.
I've recently updated my Galaxy Note 9 from Oreo to Pie. Before this update I've never noticed nor encountered this.
I use the cut and past option also known as clipboard often. Lately when I goto my clipboard I find various clippings that I never cut. They are a series of numbers or numbers and letters with dashes (-).
As of right now I have 19 clippings within my clipboard.
9 of them are only numbers. Each of the 9 clippings have 12 numbers.
The other 10 clippings are of numbers and letters. Each of those have 4 sets of some kind of number and letters. Here's an example (TYRC-X424-TW3K-78H2)
Immediately after typing the example I now see a clipping in my clipboard that now includes characters such as (@#).
This is exactly what I do. I find something online in lets say Google browser on my phone. I'll find a story or news article. I'll press and hold a name or something so that I can copy it. I then goto my youtube app (not logged in) and select search. I then press the screen within the search and a popup comes up that gives me the option to paste or clipboard. I select clipboard and then all the weirdness begins with the codes.
What exactly is this? Why is this happening? What's causing it? Are any of you encountering the same thing?
I know for a fact that I've deleted my entire clipboard content and this event keeps taking place.
Any help or info on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks!

ONE UI PIE 9 Has been rushed it's a joke i can't comment on your clip board issues, but i got a feeling its bugs as PIE 9 is buggy as hell! Have you checked your clip board network usage ? is it sending and receiving data for no apparent reason ? i doubt it very much your hacked did you reset your phone once you updated to pie ? As that is recommended to wipe out some issues that you are facing! Or maybe Samsung or Android OS is activating Apps using clipboard as everthing has keys in this day and age.. it's just an theory!
Interesting post and response. I just checked mine..

I then goto my youtube app (not logged in) and select search. I then press the screen within the search and a popup comes up that gives me the option to paste or clipboard. I select clipboard and then all the weirdness begins with the codes.
What exactly is this? Why is this happening? What's causing it? Are any of you encountering the same thing?
I know for a fact that I've deleted my entire clipboard content and this event keeps taking place.
Any help or info on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Those 16 characters appear to be some sort of activation key. Are you sure you didn't copy that key string from somewhere?
As far as it talking to the internet, check to see if you have Samsung's customization options enabled. If you do, all of their apps will phone home to Samsung what you do with the apps so that they can better "serve" you with features and personalized suggestions.
If you don't have it turned on, the app will still phone home, but its "supposed to only be for bug reporting" purposes. Take that with a grain of salt.

Have you tried wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode? If that doesn't help backup your device and perform a hard factory reset.
I figured it out. Just don't know why this app/phone is doing and allowing this. I've an app on my phone that has to do with a grocery store game/promotion. The grocery store gives customers game tickets that you can scan from a phone from the game app. Apparently the resulting key from the barcode on the physical gaming ticket is being recorded by the app onto the phones clipboard.
I guess stuff like this happens when we give "them" permission.
As to everyone else's response, yes, I have reset my phone after the pie update.
Thank you all for the responses and input!

ONE UI PIE 9 Has been rushed it's a joke i can't comment on your clip board issues, but i got a feeling its bugs as PIE 9 is buggy as hell! Have you checked your clip board network usage ? is it sending and receiving data for no apparent reason ? i doubt it very much your hacked did you reset your phone once you updated to pie ? As that is recommended to wipe out some issues that you are facing! Or maybe Samsung or Android OS is activating Apps using clipboard as everthing has keys in this day and age.. it's just an theory!

Go to apps, then select system apps and search for "clip".
