How to disable new menu widget added after update? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

After the last update to the phone this new menu has shown up when I swipe left or right on the screen. It shows a small group of four rectangles that open up a list of apps. It is conflicting with other apps that utilize the left or right swipe & have no use for it. I have looked everywhere & can't seem to locate the setting. I figured it must be a new feature added with an update.
Thank you

Type multi window in search box and switch to disable

Awesome! Thank you so much! I thought I had looked everywhere. Not sure why my android update enabled the feature automatically.

Don't worry, it's a new feature that came with the update, not an existing one that the update enabled.

Removing system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface?

hi all!
just got myself a diamond yesterday after spending 8 months with a n95 8gb... overall impressive phone but coming from a dopod d810, i find the system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface extremely annoying!
how do i remove them???
system status dialog -> where you can click on the volume, date, 3G icons on the top right hand side of the phone
also anybody knows how to remove the functionality where you press the vol up/down and it changes the system volume?
Hard Reset the daimond. When it boots up after configuration and when it says 3 seconds to customize , press reset.
PS : Opera also wont be installed. you can download opera cab seperately
If it's just the interface, why not uncheck it from Settings>Today ? Or does it come back? Not tried it yet myself

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
start->preferences->system->TouchFLo
unselect third checkbox..
Allright .. that´t the way to disable TouchFlo...
but how can we get rid of the system status dialog?
(another way than soft reset before HTC customizing runs...)
thx alot...
one more here that is really seeking to get rid of that awfull system status.....
thats the only thing so far i really hated on the diamond
Doesn't my solution (3 posts up from here) work to disable the system status dialog window?
It works for me (MDA Compact IV -Dutch)
yes it works real fine, the problem is everyone still wants the touchflow 3d
we just want to get rid of the system status on the upper corner
Guys..
instead of the full screen system status, do U think I can get the original Touch/Cruise system bubble instead? It's similar to the full screen, but the icons are slightly bigger and appears on top of the screen in a bubble.
Any ideas?
I also find the system status page an unnecessary step. Coming from an Imate K-jam, I preffered just pressing on the icon at the top (alarm bell / envelope / handset etc) to take me to the pop-up bubble at the bottom of the screen where I could either enter open the inbox / call register/calender etc or dismiss.
I read somewhere that the system status page is to bring up large icons for finger pressing. I don't understand the logic of this as the only way I bring up the system status page is by pressing on a small icon in the title bar!
I would like to be able to remove this system status screen step
Why does everone ignores the answer already given??
* To disable the Systemstatus screen, go to Settings>System>Touchflo
* untick the third checkbox wich states (translated from Dutch): "Show Systemstatuswindow when ticked on statusicons"

The idea is that you don't have to aim so precise, just press anywhere near the icons and then you can take your pick by pressing an easy target.
Anyway I do agree with you that it is an annoying extra step, it is a good thing it can be disabled (see previous post).
hi
any idea why my elf does not have 3 options but only 1 "enable sound when finger scrolling and panning"
Is there any workaround to turn off the touchflow?
maybe it's because I was flashed the rom to an "original orange" version?
thanks

Same here, but I found this registry key that helped me (i really hate the big system status menu!) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeTitleBar\Enable which must be 0 to disable it! You don't even need to reboot, works instant!
Ever since I updated the ROM, I really hate that big system status screen.
I thought I would have had to live with it, so I am very glad to found this thread.
Thanks guys!!!

Lockscreen Doesn't Lock...

Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as I am. My lock screen doesn't seem to actually lock the phone.. i.e. if you press an app without sliding it up, it just opens. The lock icon, however, is still displayed. My lock screen style is set to productivity, and that still all works, and I have no security set up. It's worth noting that it was working with no issues up until a day ago, and nothing has changed :/
For further clarification:
By not working, I mean that before I used to have to slide the tab up, or to launch an app I would have to drag it up, but now that doesn't work.
Here's a video showing what I mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bclXBQwqXa0&feature=youtu.be
This just started happening to my AT&T HTC One tonight! I found this post by doing a search to see if anyone else had experienced this same issue on their One.
Also I can no longer drag the icons at the bottom of my lockscreen up to get into that particular app. And pressing anywhere on the lockscreen seems to unlock the phone and take me to the desktop.
I'm using the "music lockscreen" style, fyi.

I just figured out what was causing it on mine... I actually received my Pebble smartwatch in the mail today and had installed the Pebble Android app onto my One. This also required going into the Settings on my One and enabling Accessibility for the Pebble and Pebble Notifier and these 2 accessibility settings were what was causing the lockscreen to behave this way.
Don't see anyway to get around it so far...

Wow aha actually I did install the pebble app just before it started happening.. I wonder if it's a problem on pebble's side or htc... good catch though!
Yeah, not sure of that either. I just wondered and posted about this myself in another XDA thread I found on this very same topic:

I have got this on my HTC one, I have come from an iphone and wanted to have the screen turn on when any emails are received. These show up on the lockscreen so when I'm driving if I get an email the screen turns on.
I can use several apps to do this but they all require to be enabled in Accessibility, if I do that the lockscreen unlocks when its touched anywhere as mentioned earlier without swiping. If I disable the accessibility setting its all back to normal but the app doesnt work....ie. the screen doesn't come on.
Any one figured this out yet?

I found a work around for it. It requires root access, Tasker and Secure Settings.
What I did was create a Context that is activated when the display is on and then using Secure Settings, disable all Accessibility for all events. As an exit task, I re-enable all my accessibility apps.
Now when i turn on my display, I actually have to slide to unlock.

Under the profiles tab
Press the + icon in the botton right corner
Select State
Select Display
Select Display State
Change "Is Off" to "Is On"
Press the back button
You should have a popup of available Tasks (if you have any)
Select New Task +
[Optional] Give it a name
You need to do the following section as many times as you have Acessibility services
***********************************************
Press the + icon in the lower middle screen
Select Plugin
Select Secure Settings
Press the Edit button
Select Accessibility Services
Select a service, and make sure is disabled (by default it will be)
Press the save icon in the lower left
Press back
************************************************************
Repeat the previous section as needed
When you are done creating your task, press the back button
You should be back at your main profile screen.
Long press the green arrow of the task you just created
Select Add Exit Task
Repeat the *********** section but save the accessiblity services as "Is Off" for all your services.
Tasker has a bit of a learning curve, and hopefully this will get you started.

Thanks for the write up its really appreciated. I'll give it a go.....
M.
Efox29. That works very well.. Thanks again for the advice.
I've got this set up as well but for me it is extremely hit and miss. Nearly 50% of the time I still get the single touch unlock and the other half of the time tasker works perfectly. The only thing I can think of is that my pin unlock causes a problem but why only half the time.
Anyone else have this problem?
I suppose I should be happy my problem has been cut in half but I wish it was completely consistent.

It's not ideal but works ok, for me it's better than nothing.

Actually having used this tasker solution for a few days now it works about 75% of the time and seems more reliable if the screen has been off for a while vs reactivating the screen very soon after turning off. Still sometimes I get the one touch unlock after the screen being locked for hours. On the whole the accessibility problem still really annoys me but I agree this solution is better than nothing and so far I haven't had any more accidental call answers.
Sent from my HTC One using xda-developers app
has anyone noticed that another issue with this accessibility bug is that the screen will flicker or flash black for a split second after unlocking? again, this only happens after you turn on accessibility for an app.

[Q] Where did they move the ability to edit Quick Settings to?

Hello. There used to be an "edit" icon on the quick settings (pull down toggles) screen, allowing you to rearrange the quick settings and choose which ones appeared. It is no longer there in the latest update. I've searched all through the settings and can't find any way to edit them. Does anyone know how to do it now? Or did HTC remove the ability to choose which toggles show up in the Quick Settings?
Looks like the software was older than I thought on my refurb. It had done one update and then reported it was up to date. But today it started downloading more updates and now the edit button is there.

Secondary favorites bar

Hello,
I'm very happy with my mi A2 phone but there is a bar that for some reason I can't customize or delete, I don't know how to call it so I call it "Secondary favorites bar". It appears at the bottom of the screen under the google bar when you push the square and on the top of the screen under the search apps bar when you open the apps menu sliding your finger up.
I would like to know how to deactivate that or customize it.
Thanks
Long press on desktop - home settings - suggestions - apps <- disable it.
As far as I know, you can't customize it.
This bar showing your last apps you can't customize it

So, two updates ago the bar came back, and I can’t find “suggestions” I was hoping to be able to do it again, but I can’t find the option.
If that’s not possible I would happily go back to the previous version, since that update the phone hasn’t been working very well.

Notification problem

Hello, I installed the last Global ROM (11.3.3). I have a problem with notification: there's the same bug as all Xiaomi devices with notch: the notification doesn't appear near the clock.
Moreover, WhatsApp notification doesn't appear in the lockscreen (even if I selected to show the notifications in the app settings). This fact, anyway, does not show if I remove the lockscreen PIN.
There's a fix for these two problems?
I cant post screenshots as a new user..
Anyways, Settings/Display/Notch&Status Bar/ and hit the "enable icons" which is disabled.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! It restored the notification in the notification area. But I'd like also to know how to show the notifications in the lockscreen. The problem seems to be only with whatsapp, as Facebook's and Instagram's (for example) notifications are shown there.
I am trying but I can't find it right now.
What I can say is, I did have working notifications at some point but it allowed anyone to see the content of my Whatsapp messages and even reply to them without unlocking the phone so I turned them off somehow (was probably Special Settings/Quick replies)
Going to look further, the Notifications in Settings don't do anything. It could have something to do with me blocking the Internet on most Xiaomi apps but I sure hope that's not the case.
Edit: found something interesting in settings/apps/other settings. Selected messages and at thr bottom there is a setting to show notifications and guess what. it only has a single option related to the lock screen "don't show notifications at all" so it cannot be changed.
woah this miui is a mess
edit: I went ahead and debloated the phone from most of the Xiaomi apps. I have no access no notifications settings anymore but it didn't fix the problem
edit2: softlocked my phone and had to wipe everything. Notifications are back on stock lol
FIXED IT! woohoo!
After many, many hours of messing with my phone .. here's what you have to do:
Settings-Passwords & security - Privacy - Special app access - Battery optimisation
Here, click the blue bar and select "All apps"
Now scroll down until you find "Notifications" and open it.
Select "Don't optimise"
Holy mother of god NOW THAT'S A MAZE IF I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE!
sorry about the double post but wtf Miui
Edit: it breaks after the first notification. Then I reboot the phone and again it works for the first notification uhm yeah I give up. So I put it in Optimisation mode again, along with Always On and settings storage (had disabled them earlier) and now notifications pop on my lock screen but only new notifications!
Once I've unlocked the phone, the lock screen is empty until something new comes. However my Apple Music app now shows on lock screen as well with the typical controls for switching songs.

Thanks man!! I'll give a try! I've also discovered that notification were blocked, on lockscreen, for some contacts (the ones I wanted to be shown). I definitely agree with you that MIUI is a mess... My last phone was an OnePlus 6T, now I own a Mi 9T Pro. The hardware is amazing, but the software is a crap compared to the OxygenOS.
