I am just wondering right now. To all the developers out there. Is there a way to turn off the GPS? I know there has to be a software out there that can actually disable the GPS when you don't want it on. PLEASE Help.
-Sorry about the title if anyone got excited or I misleaded you. I just wanted to get the attention of you guys seeing how if I had a boring title like"gps off," no one would probably even give it a view.
Don't know what your point is.
As long as you do not have a GPS application open it wont be active. To proof this get a good task manager and check what's active in terms of programs. Sure if you have whatever GPS software (Framson GPS gate or so) linked at startup it WILL be active.
Can someone please close this thread

What a totally insensitive way to get attention..
You're a total TWAT!!!!
Sorry mate as long as your phone is on (the cellular radio that is) The Man knows where you are.
Next time better choose a more appropriate topic title..

Hi guys,
Decided to try an android phone after not touching one since the magic.
Anyway couple of questions if you don't mind.
First is... can I root the phone without affecting the warranty?
I've noticed the note is very slow at waking the screen, is there anyway to fix this?
Also it seems sluggish in certain places like the lock screen, when going between tabs on the browser etc. Any tips or tricks I can do to help this speed up?
Sure I will have more questions in time.
change ya browser and wait for ics like me rooting has its side affects and security issues specially with beginners like me. bricked 2 phones and had my phone hacked if u wanna root check a tuturial first i did find a good article on google with pro's and cons of rooting . i think the warrenty will be affected but dont take my word. hope that helps
On my Honor 7 I was able to use the fingerprintreader as a back button if i pressed it once. It was a great feature, and was one of the reasons I got a new P9 Plus.
To my great disappointment this feature is not available anymore.
Anyone else feel this is a huge step down? I feel this is one of the features that convinced me to go for a P9 Plus instead of a S7 or Note7. If I've knew this before I probably wouldn't have bought the phone, that's how important I feel this feature is.
I guess there are no solutions to fix this, and that we only have to sit and wait and see if an update will enable this feature again?
Is there any way to reach out to Huawei about this? I only found an EMUI fan mail-address.
Hi, i am also very disappointet!
The Fingerprint-Backbutton was nearly the greatest feature in my Honor 7.
Today i made the Update and the functionality has been removed - that step wasn't in the releasenotes. Otherwise i wouldn't have updated my phone.
Now i also hope the deletion was an error that will be fixed in the next version.
Hello. I just bought a Huawei Mate 20 lite, and I immediately noticed that when the notification menu is pulled down, the background (the part of the screen that's visible under the menu, not the menu itself) is flickering. I tried lowering the resolution to HD+, down from FHD+ and the problem seems to disappear. Any ideas as to what that would be? If it is a hardware bug, I can return the phone and ask for another one, or maybe if there is a fix anyone knows of, and this little "bug" here doesn't turn into a bigger problem overtime, I can just apply that.
Thank you very much and have a nice evening.
The same happens to me and not only that. If i left the phone in the same screen for a few minutes and pull down the notification bar or any other dark (not black) screen the screen looks like is burned.
Hio, i have exactly the same, i don't know why they would do something like that but, i don't think its some hardware damage or unwanted either since on other backgrounds if you want so, or other screens it doesn't happen for me, as far as i can see only happens on home screen etc... Also a friend from me has exactly the same with different firmware... Don't know about the burned looking part from 2nd post, definitely don't have that!
Greetings

Looks like a dynamic contrast issue to me. Go to settings, display, color mode and pick normal. That might fix it.

Hello friend, I tried what you recommended, but to no avail. My biggest concern is whether this might be a hardware issue, or it's most certainly a software one - if it's a software issue i wouldn't be bothered at all and i'd just wait for an update or even put a pure android on it, but if it is indeed a hardware issue, i need to know so I can return the phone.

Try it out?
Install a different firmware, roll back to the oldest firmware or something like that. Change your backgrounds, try it out with different apps, play around with screen testing apps. Even if someone here has a similar problem and it's hardware related, yours might still be something different. It's hard to tell over a forum.
Good luck with "pure Android" though, this phone will cost you quite some bucks to just get unlocked and there's merely any support for AOSP ROMs (maybe not even the littlest bit, I didn't look at OpenKirin yet since the phone is so expensive to unlock lol)

Does installing new firmware (I'm currently using EMUI 8.something) v oid warranty? I still haven't gotten the official update to 9 and I'm thinking of just installing it manually myself.
Hi folks,
I have bought this lovely piece of tech.
I have already ordered different case as the one supplied by vivo has absolutely no grip whatsoever.
I think I've done most of the setup, tested cameras, get notifications working etc and I'm pretty happy with how things are.
I do, however, have some questions:
2) After double clicking power button I'm getting some chinese crap on my screen - any chance on getting rid of it, and possibly mapping other action under double pressing of power button?
3) At this stage is there any point of running debloating script via ADB? I deleted what was possible from the phone via app manager etc. Is there any real improvement to the battery life, performance?
4) Any known way to replace this vivo music player widget with another one in the quick menu?
I keep reading forums/internet so I may find solutions to the above in the meantime ( point 1 is missing, as I've managed to find a way to fix it while writing this post )
Any help is most welcome!
Ok, forget about number 2 as well. Chinese lady, whom I happen to work with and who actually imported the phone from China for me has turned it off it was vivo wallet.
I still wonder though, has anyone managed to map double click of power button for something else?
