Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the BLUE VIVO AIR sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...
Hello
I am new here. I agree with you making a separate thread for q/a. So is this thread for all the devices or for only high end devices..?

This is for vivo air device only
This is a device specific thread
Press thanks if u liked my work
Ok got it
Official Lollipop images?
I got a Fly Tornado Slim from Russia which is identical to the Vivo Air.
Other names of the phone are: Kazam Tornado 348 (UK), Allview X2 Soul Mini (Romania) and Gionee Elife S5.1 (India, first appearance)
I checked all of the manufacturers, but couldn't find a lollipop firmware so far.
Did anyone have more success?
Root!!! HELP!!!
Does anyone know how to root the Vivo Air?
Any help will be appreciated

I tried framaroot too and it failed...
I've even tried the PC based ones, but I can't get the phone to work in USB Debugging mode on the PC so they wont see it.
Did anyone ever have any luck with root?

Tried all root tools so far and couldn't root it. Some people had the luck to root it, I heard. But it depends on the firmware installed.
I use the current "Kazam Tornado 348" firmware so far, which is a slightly modified Vanilla Android.
Camera software non responsive.
Good morning ,
Good people. I Just received my BLU Vivo Air (black) yesterday and love it for the mid tier phone that it is. I love the form factor and how light and thin it is.
Right out of the box there was a minor update for bug fixes and performance. After that everything was still working fine. Including camera. Now this morning I attempted to use "CharmCam" once again to take a night shot. When I loaded the app there was a light haze and I could see the image behind the haze. It was as if the camera lens some how over exposed to allow more light in. The issue is that the software was also non responsive to the point of not even being able to take the picture. So I rebooted and still same result. I then tried the native camera app and this worked fine the first time and then the same haze and non responsive software buttons after the first picture.
Once I get a chance I am going to do a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue.
Still love everything else about the phone.
I'm looking for some info on the stock launcher to see if it is even worth while keeping it versus installing GEL or Nova. The icons on screen don't bother me per se, I have an iPhone.
Issue with bluetooth phone audio in the car
Hi Everyone,
The issue i'm having with my Blu vivo air is the phone audio doesn't go through the car speakers or use the car mic. I'm connected through bluetooth and I can play all my media audio through my car speakers. It's only when i try to pick up a call and talk that this feature completely doesn't work.
I understand that with so many different car head units functionality can be a little different. I'm just seeing if any others are experiencing the same thing. I had no issues previously with my htc one. I just started loving this phone too, and this is a big feature for me. My only work around is to pick up my phone and take it off bluetooth and answer it normally, which i shouldn't be doing in my country. I own a scion fr-s stock head unit for those wondering. I hope there will be an update to fix this issue......
Thanks

Have you tried to format the phone? I saw a post the fixed WiFi connection by formatting.
Also, a few of the users here has already received some updates. I believe the most recent is v11.

WiFi does not work
I just got mine days ago, the WiFi was working when i first set it up but then it stops for no known reason. i have done a factory reset on the phone and was able to connect to my WiFi network again, but as soon as the phone finish updating the WiFi stops working again. does anyone knows how to fix this? i really like the design of the phone, but i'm going to return unless this WiFi is problem permanently fix.
Vivo Air Battery Issue
I find Vivo Air to be excellent phone. Battery life is great, with 3G enabled it lasts more than 3 days, but it is my wife's phone and she mostly uses it for calls and viber.
The only issue that she has it that battery percentage is not shown correctly. The percentage goes down as it should be and after some time it will just go up. For instance it can go to 55% and the next time she lights the screen it will show 85% full. So, she does not know what actual battery status is. We tried with installing battery apps, DU Battery Saver, but it shows wrong battery percentage as well.
I have opened case with BLU company and they advised to perform factory reset, without wipe data cache, but it did not help.
BLU is a little bit slow with answers, so I tought that maybe somebody had same problem and can advise how to solve it.
So, any ideas what to do?
Can this be reduced?
Using this phone is near impossible (browsing, ex) without so many false touches!
This has to be fixed.
No root = no build.prop edits.
Anyone know of a solution?
May have to keep my Note 5.
I've noticed that the screen is crazy sensitive. It's almost like i didn't even touch it yet and an app will open or the screen will swipe... Interested if there is any was to adjust it a bit as well.
At first I thought this was just a subjective thing that random people were experiencing but last night I was playing monkey King escape and it kept swiping me to the side when I would swipe up and vice versa. Also getting random clicks when scrolling through menus and webpages... And I'm using cases so it's not edge sensitivity. As much as I like everything else about this phone I can't deal with something as basic as that going wonky on me for this amount of money.

I'm having the exact same problem. It's very frustrating. It is difficult to do anything without unintentional opening apps and links. I'm hoping this is a software issue that can be resolved with a firmware update. If I cannot find something where Samsung acknowledge this issue before my 14 day return period is over. I may just have to go back to my S6. That's a shame because I really love everything else about this phone. There is a discussion about this issue here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/galaxy-s7-edge-touchscreen-overly-t3326936
I experienced the same problem when using without a case. But with my case on, no issues at all. I have a Spigen neo-hybrid case if it matters to anyone and love it.

The S6 definitely wasn't as sensitive as the S7 without a case, but I kept the same model of case on my S6 as well. I tried using the S7 around the house without a case and it definitely is touchy. No issues with the case on though.

Thanks for the reply. I do have a Spigen Air Cushion Ultra Hybrid case. It does help with the edge but I have an issue with the entire screen being over sensitive. I don't have that problem with my S6. Apparently I'm not the only one. It's even mentioned in a couple of reviews. I'm just hoping that it is resolved in a firmware update.

I'm getting that same case!
yeah, I think a firmware update should fix that sensitivity and bring it down a tad. Not sure if all variants (Sprint, T-Mobile AT&T?) have it set this high or if it's just Verizon. To me, it's not like a dealbreaker or anything, but ideally I would like it lowered some.
I have the same issues with extra screen sensitivity, so does my wife's regular S7. Actually when typing responses on this forum, I often hit the wrong thng on my SwiftKey keyboard on accident and it closes out everything lol. Then I have to start over. I'm not even sure how the heck it's happening.

The S6 Edge+ was nearly flawless.
Tapatalk browsing on this (S7 Edge) makes me want to throw the damn thing! LOL
Maybe this is Samsung's answer to TW lag. Just like in the old days (I'm talking i486 w/ Win 3.1 LOL) of making the mouse tracking fast to make the computer feel faster.
Just posting to say my screen is too sensitive as well. I fixed some false presses with a case, but still regular scrolling and clicking can be hit or miss if I'm hovering too close to the screen.
I've noticed this also, trying keeping your finger not so close to the screen when using it lol.
I found a solution for my over sensitive screen
I really feel stupid for my last post. I should have not jumped the gun so soon. I should have given it some time. Anyway after working great for the hours as I played around with the phone yesterday the over sensitive issue has returned today though not quite as bad as before. I just left a local Verizon corporate store to make an exchange. The problem is they do not have any S7 Edge's in stock nor have they ever received any S7 Edge's in their shop. Almost 2 weeks since the official release and not one Edge phone. They did have the regular S7 in stock and I considered switching to one. I also had my S6 with me and considered re-activating it. I ended up leaving with my Edge. I pre-ordered my Edge online and have one more day to decide to send it back or not. Sorry if anyone used that Verizon repair assistance and it didn't work. I meant well.
I called Verizon tech support today in regards to the screen sensitivity issue. He first had me boot in safe mode to see if the problem was present without any user installed apps. Problem still existed in safe mode. He suggested that I run the Verizon repair assistance to see if reflashing the firmware would help. He emailed me the link to the website. I didn't think that it would work but I figured I would give it a try. If it didn't work I was going to take the phone to the local Verizon corporate store for an exchange and maybe even switch to the regular S7. To my surprise it actually worked. My phone's screen is normal now. I'm still in kind of disbelief because it is such an enormous difference. Before flashing, just barely touching the phone would open apps. Scrolling on websites would open links. Now it only happens when I intentionally tap apps and links. The repair assistance is easy to use. It backs up your apps and settings and restores everything for the most part when it's done. When the phone first boots up it starts the setup wizard. When it gets to the part where it ask to restore backups from the cloud I wouldn't let it because it wasn't yet connected to wifi. I learned the hard way what happens when your phone installs a complete backup on data and repair assistant re-installs a backup and settings. Anyway the program will tell you when you have to make manual selections during the process like what USB connection to choose. I don't know if this will work for everyone but it definitely worked for me. I'm going keep testing it though in case the issue returns. I have only 2 days to return the phone for a new replacement if necessary. Here is the link to the repair assistance website.

Please keep us up to date on this over the next couple days. If this is the fix it seems too good to be true! Also, do you mean when you said - you learned the hard way about letting it restore the backup via data instead of wifi - that the restore simply eats thru a ton of data? Or was that some other meaning? My home wifi is slow as crap compared to LTE so I don't know if I have the patience to wait for a full restore on my wifi lol.

Ok I did this and since I don't have much on my phone I chose NOT to back it up.
It downloaded a big file (the latest fully updated ROM, presumably) so if you don't have a fast connection this may take some time. We were getting good speed so it only took a minute or two.
It does seem to be better.
It needs to settle in before the jury's out.
Definitely worth the set up as new if it turns out to be the solution.
It was driving me nuts.

See my update on my original post please. As far as the data issue, I purchased my S6 last November from Best Buy. They set everything up in the store as far as my Verizon and Samsung registration. On the way home unbeknownst to me the phone was restoring all of my dozens of apps from a backup on Verizon. I was in my car with no wifi and I didn't realize what was happen until I received a text message from Verizon informing me that I was almost out of data. I shut off mobile data right away but I had very little left at that point. Apparently downloading loads of apps eats a lot of data.
I have sensitive S6 (it may be similar to other S)
This suggestion is from somebody else but it worked for me.
try this:
setting | personal | accessibility | dexterity | press and hold change it from 0.5 to 1.0
Changing that setting didn't work.
This phone is useless IMO for browsing in most apps. Every time I touch to scroll where there's an item that's clickable it selects it. VERY annoying. NEVER had this before in any device. Methinks this is going back.
I hit the twitter or Facebook link in posts when scrolling occasionally but it's few and far between.
hi to all how any one that has the same setup will help me understand i will try and keep it short first im using samsung note 4 running 6.0.1 now
ok so here goes i use my gear 2 together with my note 4 as a trusted device you know like every time the gear 2 is close the device must stay unlocked but it does not stay unlocked and there is no Bluetooth disconnecting anything like this i look at that so battery is full the gear 2 and phone stayed together and there was no setting like disable and enabling of Bluetooth at any stage but i connect it now and its fine but after a wile (don't know the exact time here ) but say after 3 hours of no use i press the power button and it asks for my pin or fingerprint as if the gear 2 is not near but it is still on and there was nothing like it disconnecting it is as if the phone on its own make sure that it asks the finger print every now and again say like i leave it overnight the next morning first fingerprint then you can use the phone i hate this it kind of bugs me if the steal the phone and the range is to big the device will lock any way why lock when the gear 2 it near the phone any help please
honestly, i stopped reading after few seconds.

From the Google Smart Lock support page (https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6093922):
"Note: When you don't use your phone for 4 hours, and after you reboot your phone, you'll need to manually unlock it with your PIN, pattern or password"
It's a security feature.
EDIT: ...and, wow, yes, that was some run-on sentence!
Is there a root app to disable it or not

Ok, so here goes:
I use my gear 2 together with my note 4 as a trusted device. You know like every time the gear 2 is close, the device must stay unlocked. But it does not stay unlocked and there is no Bluetooth disconnecting, anything like this. I looked at that. Battery is full, the gear 2 and phone stayed together and there was no setting like disable and enabling of Bluetooth at any stage.
I connect it now and its fine, but after a while (don't know the exact time here ), say after 3 hours of no use, i press the power button and it asks for my pin or fingerprint as if the gear 2 is not near. The gear 2 is still on and there was nothing like disconnecting. As if the phone on its own make sure that it asks the finger print every now and again.
For example, i leave it overnight the next morning first fingerprint then you can use the phone.I hate this. It kind of bugs me if they steal the phone and the range is to big, the device will lock any way. Why lock when he gear 2 it near the phone? Any help please.

I really had to break that down to make it readable for me. But as others said, it's an Android feature. Afaik there is no way of disabling that all together. There might be some xposed module i haven't heard of, but with my moto360 i couldn't get it to work the way you'd want. Sorry mate

As the programmers use to says: Its a feature, not a bug
Some people are just plain jerks, and I wish XDA would take these "grammar police" trolls a bit more seriously and penalize them.
Perhaps OP is using a translator, or is from another country, or is young. That should not matter to any of us and we should offer our help regardless of whether he/she includes proper punctuation or not. I'm sure the effort he/she put into typing it was much greater than that of the ridiculous responses some of you gave.
thanks Crossvxm i appreciate that you came up for me its just i love the new 6.0.1 but there are a few new thing that google does not say and i thought it was a bug like my Bluetooth failing

The Note 4 is problematic all around, but 6.0.1 is a problem for every device that has it. It is the reason I left my Nexus 6P, and my Nexus 6. I have a Xiaomi Mi Max, also on 6.0.1 and it has the same major flaws I experienced on all devices running 6.0.1. The problems I speak of are the WiFi and Data stop working briefly while browsing the web, or downloading something. However, I believe this is an issue related to the security patches related to Qualcomm devices on 6.0.1. It seems like an overall radio problem.
Hello good people of XDA,
My father's P9 Lite (VNS-L21) just developed an issue with the camera and I have no idea what the cause is. As soon as you try and use the camera the app crashes and it keeps restarting. The issue is also happening with 3rd party apps which use the cam (such as facebook app). I have factory restored the phone and still no luck... Video can be found here: [youtube_url]/watch?v=pxQIOnpawNE
Until a month ago the phone was still under warranty and I tried going to Huawei support for help. But customer care is utterly useless and a total waste of time! They've been sending me from one place to another ever since, and recently stopped replying to any of my emails, to the point that I have now given up on them and their bull..... So I am now trying to salvage what I can myself.
Apparently the phone is a Chinese model and in fact the box says 'G9' although the phone's info menu states that it is a P9 Lite. The problem seems to be just with the cam but my father said that he never dropped it and that the problem emerged just after a firmware update. So I was wondering if anyone here could point me to the right direction of how I can re-flash (if that is a correct term) the phone. Any help would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Exactly the same problem with the phone of my girlfriend (it's a G9 as well, chinese version of the P9). The problem appeared after the EMUI 5 upgrade. I have no idea what to do appart from downgrading to EMUI 4 I guess...

Yes its a software issue. I've been browsing around the forums for the last two days trying to learn how to revert back to old firmware and it was actually easier than I thought.
Follow this thread and you should be fine. The cam is working again on EMUI 4

Thanks man, I'm not going to waste more time and probably follow this guide then but before I do, just a quick question : I remember reading somewhere on another forums which I don't remember the name, some guys complaining about the video (not the whole camera) not working on the P9 lite, and it seems it was a problem with google options (don't ask me why, I have no idea...).
I'm not saying those 2 problems are related but could be, have you found that thread as well by any chance and maybe try the solution given by changing some google options ?

No prob! No never saw that thread to be honest. But I did a factory reset and completely wiped the phone and the problem was still there. So I doubt it how the default settings would be set in such a way that the camera doesn't work. Would be worth giving it a try if you manage to find it though.
The instructions in the link I posted take 30min tops, so you won't waste too much time either

Actually come to think of it, my girlfriend has a P9 (not the lite one) and she had issues with videos only, and yes there was some thread which suggested to turn off the "OK Google" option "From any screen". In that case the setting worked but as you rightly said. But it was only the video which was problematic and it worked in 3rd party apps such as FB - just the original camera app wouldn't record videos. So I think this problem is a bit different but it wouldn't hurt if you tried before downgrading. I had completely forgotten about that sorry
Thanks by the way, I downgraded and it works again as expected now.
Still I hope there would be another solution that would allow us to upgrade to EMUI 5, have you found another solution since by chance ?
Anyone have so many problems as me when using Waze in Android auto?

Are you using a Oneplus 6T? I just got off the phone with Oneplus support because I cannot get Android Auto to work at all.
I'm in similar boat too.
Android Auto is messed up on this phone.
OnePlus has been of no help whatsoever.
I have been providing them logs they requested. No reply from them.

damn... sucks seeing all of you having issues with AA
works great for me... I'm on the latest 9.0.11 with root and twrp and haven't seen any problems

I posted on another thread, but I'll update this one too. I have an almost clean install as my phone was only hours old. I upgraded to the latest oxygen build (non-beta) and still no-dice. Tier 1 customer support was worthless, as was the advanced support team. It wasn't until after they told me to return the phone and hope for the feature to be fixed eventually in another build, that I again tried but with the factory dash cable. Android Auto worked immediately! I'm not sure why, but the cable that I was using with my other phone for AA wouldn't work for the 6T. Now that it is working, it works amazing.
I hope this helps someone else... Best of luck.
I can tell you my non-standard cables on my Essential phone are intermittent with AA in my car, but the stock cord, works...only phone I now that didn't work at all is the Pixel 2 XL...sold it anyway. But I use AA daily and about to buy this phone because I'm on Verizon and been awaiting support. So as long as the cable is just the issue, no biggie..can always buy a spare one for the car.
