Guide on Enabling Day dream in Honor -EMUI

We all know about magazine screensaver but very rare of us know about daydream. It is very similar to magazine screensaver. Even I was not aware of this until I was searching for something in my Settings and came to know about this feature. Then I searched about this on Google and used it by enabling it in my phone.
Usually we don’t like that our phone is in charge, we can’t use it. But still we can do more with this. How about watching your gallery pictures while you kept your phone on charge and all of a sudden a picture from gallery appeared which brought a smile on your face. Just put your phone on charge and see the magic.
Instructions to enable Daydream in your phone:
Step 1: Go to Settings> Display
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2: Search for Daydream and enable the toggle
Step 3: Then you need to select the folder as picture source, which you want to be as screen saver while your phone is in charge.
Step 4: The next setting in daydream that you can do is duration. For how many minutes you want the daydream to work after your phone is plugged in for charge.
It will start working when your phone will go in lock stage or idle after putting in charge.

Android O Preview Battery Data

Along with the complete overhaul of the settings app, the battery stats section was also overhauled in android O. One thing, however, that you can't do with the new graph, is see everything that's been using you battery all in one convenient list. According to whoever was assigned an issue on the google issue tracker about this, there should be a button or something titled "show full device usage", and this should show everything that's using your battery, screen and google play services included. does this option show up for anyone using the developer preview? i can't seem to find it, and i want to make sure i'm not missing anything.

In my settings>Battery menu, if I scroll down I have a list of apps taht use the battery in order of percentage used.

but that only shows the apps that you've used, it doesn't include google play services, nor does it include your screen or other hardware.

Popup menu on OTG

I recently tried connect an thumb drive via OTG cable on my H870DS, and each time a popup prompted me to selected the connection mode (see screenshot attached). Is anyone having similar?
I'm wondering what each option means, and how to change it if I made one a default. Thanks

1st option is to charge your phone, 2nd is to charge something connected to phone, 3rd and 4th are for file transfers,don't know what 5th is, as u stated u connected with u need to select file transfer and click just once on the bottom or click always depending on what ur needs are, u can always change it in developer options, hope this helps.

I have the same problem with my h870ds. That menu pops up but no OTG devices are ever recognised whatever option you choose. No good answer found for this.

Same issue, used to work fine. Now I cant get it to work at all.

How do you access menu Samsung "apps we recommend you put to sleep to save battery."

I went to sleep with new Samsung S7 Edge and I was given a notification about 33 apps to check to that are recommended to put to sleep to save battery power. I switched to another app and the screen was gone!
How do I get back to that menu so that I can sleep a bunch of apps that drained some of my battery overnight?

Mystery shortcut (or accidental feature) on my G4 Plus

Here's a nagging Android riddle I'd like to understand just out of curiosity, as opposed to researching an 'issue' that needs to be resolved. We all have better things to do (laundry, pull weeds, floss) than to make a case out of this post.
I'll ask anyway.
In my graphic the shortcut on the left shows normal behavior from the Settings widget in Oreo. The shortcut on the right, however, just showed up on the home screen out of nowhere. I'm clueless about how it got there and why it has color. Is anybody familiar with this?

I think it's a spyware from mobile-tracker-free.com . Coz I used it before and it comes as the name of WiFi in the settings to avoid attention of the user.

It's not spyware. But mystery solved. The peculiar green shortcut is an Oreo feature.
In my case it showed up by accident. Here's how it's done on purpose:
Long-press the Settings app icon until a pop-up box appears with a short list of widget items that can be dragged to the home screen. In my case there are only 3 options -- battery, data usage and wi-fi.
There are similar effects by long-pressing other apps like Gmail and Messages.
