Hi, I recently got my p20 Pro and have some gripes if someone can help.
1. I like to use blue light filter. I want to use it all the time. Problem I have is, phone seems to turn it on and off depending on ambient light. I don't want this. There is some setting in display about automatically adjusting display based on ambient light and I have switched it off but no luck.
2. I installed nova launcher (prime version) and am struggling to use it. I want to add apps to homescreen and also to the bottom of screen. I cant do that. When I long press on home screen, I get option for setting, wallpaper and widgets but I can't seem to add apps.
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
Any help please.
Edited to add 4th question..

I don't think there is a way to do this, other than use a third party app that does the same thing.

For Nova, you go into your main drawer and just hold down the app and then you can drag it to your homescreen
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
No notifications on the ambient display, unless EMUI 9.0 as fixed this. However 8.0 and 8.1 do not have this function.
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
The only quick action button you have for the camera is to go into its settings and choose the "ultra snapshot" option right at the bottom of the settings menu. This will give you the option of double pressing the volume down to take a quick snapshot and gets the camera activated.
Any help please.

Hi
When ı was using Nokia n8 there is a screen saver app which is very useful when ı locked the screen it shows some animation and time.
In additon to this you can adjust time interval for night and it become more visible that hours so you can use it as a digital clock.
However although I downloaded a number of application for my note. These applications works like aother applications I mean if you close the screen by pressing power button then screen totaly offline. You can only see the digital clock while screen is on.
So I am sure iti is my mistake but if you can show the right setting I can use it.
Thanks
Then wait for ICS to come..

Hopefully someone can point out how to fix these.
1. I somehow was able to get the home screen button (without an application) on my Note 3 to open google now with a single click (not a double).
Right now google now opens for me by holding the home button. I would like to get this back to being ONE click of the home button.
2. Any way to disable the vibrate on finger scanner unlock? I hate haptic feedback and have disabled it in all the normal places (sound, keyboard etc) - but I cannot figure out how to get rid of the small vibrate when it unlocks from a fingerprint scan (I don't think the S5 ever did this).
3. For some reason the 'Always on' google now feature is greyed out within the google now settings and says 'This feature currently unavailable for this language'. On the previous screen my language is set to 'Default language: English (US).
Any help would be appreciated.. overall I like the phone a lot. Quick charge, brighter screen and the QHD is very noticeable in certain situations.
*EDIT
Was able to solve #3 by deleting app data associated with google search and resetting up google now
**EDIT 2
Figured out that it was actually NOVA launcher that allowed me to do #1, so got that working now
Anyone been able to get rid of the vibrate with the finger scanner?
For #2.
Go to settings > Sounds > Vibration Intensity
Set Notification to lowest.
So, I finally updated to Nugat last night, and now Android Auto 2.0 has a few annoying 'features' I needed to fix. I figured them out, so I'll share here.
I could no longer get to my main home screen. This used to be really handy, as I could plug in my phone, get everything setup, tap recent apps and then home to get to my regular home screen. I need to be able to do this to arm my home alarm and to launch Waze.
SOLUTION 1 - 1 Tap Quick Bar
There are a lot of apps like this, and I tried this one first, did exactly what I wanted it to, but it left too much going on in my notification pane. Basically this creates an additional notification bar that you can add settings or applications to. I added Action Launcher 3, Waze, my home alarm app, and two others to it, worked fine.
If there were a way to have a notification bar like this be active only when Car Mode was enabled, it would be my preferred method.
SOLUTION 2 - Custom Quick Settings - (PREFERRED)
This works perfectly, takes up almost no space (one quick settings tile), and looks like it is built in.
I installed this, added a quick settings tile to go directly to my Action Launcher 3 home screen (my wife set it up to go to Nova Launcher), and now I just pull down on the right side of my Nexus 6P screen, tap on the Quick Setting Tile that says Home, and bam, back at the home screen. Tap on the Home button in the Android Auto overlay and I'm back in Android Auto (I just leave it in Waze).
Hope this helps others.
I'd like to have the night light tile like in every other device that is not from 2005 on this phone. I'm rooted on Pie.
CF.lumen works but doesn't have a tile.
f.lux works but doesn't have a tile.
Red Moon works but it's an overlay and looks absolutely hideous. Generally I would stay away from apps that just overlay a semi transparent yellow layer on the screen.
The apk from Sony isn't working on Pie.
Night Light KCAL isn't supported by the kernel.
By night light I obviously meant the piss filter that makes your screen yellow at night. I'm usually not a fan of these filters but the XZ1C has a ridiculously high brightness even at the lowest.
Anyone knows something that I don't?
I found one!

For apps that don't have a quick setting title, you can download an app that lets you add any app/action you want as a tile. Might be the easiest way since you're rooted. Try this:
1. Download Quick Settings.
2. Open the app, tap Show All.
3. Enable App & Shortcuts #1.
4. Drop down your quick settings and tap Edit.
5. Scroll to the bottom you should see a new tile called App Shortcut. Add it to your quick settings.
6. Tap the newly added tile, you'll get a prompt to select any app of your choice.
Hello everyone,
As you know, when the icon in the upper left is pressed, the image is projected onto the rear display. It's annoying to press this icon every time the camera is opened. Can I make it open automatically by changing a value with the Setedit application?
Yes, but after restart it will be off
1 - go to camera settings, set "preserve settings" to ON, Autostart - ON
2 - switch on rear display in camera, then minimize camera app
3- in recent app make sure camera app is locked, so won't be closed by MIUI
After this when open camera, rear display is already ON, check if it works for you and let me know
Thank you but I am looking for a permanent solution.
Up.
Up.
Plase help me guys
Without re-compiling the camera app with modified code, you're out of luck my friend.
As a die-hard Tasker user, you could make a task and add it to the home screen that opens the camera app and then use AutoInput to look for and select the rear screen display button upon launch with said task.
