Force and enable split screen - Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

First of all, need to thank the Chinese Huawei forum where I found this neat trick. Also if this has been posted here then sorry I did searched but nothing came up with this topic.
Anyhow the trick is to force the split screen functions where any incompatible app may prevent the split screen to open as it should.
First of all, need to go to setting-about phone. then touch the build number with your knuckle multiple times in a quick succession. This will activate the developer option.
Go back to the setting first page, and the developer option new tag should show up. Go into this tag and scroll down to the very bottom and enable the " Force activities to be resizable" then reboot phone. The Force split screen is good to go after reboot.

Thanks I'll rebrand my Mate to Chinese then because they get all the updates and the good stuff. :good:

I am enjoying the Chinese versions quite a !ot and no urgency in changing to international version just yet. One major issue is the notifications and that can be quite annoying for some. But somehow I can live with it.

You don't get notifications at all?

Notification depends on how often one uses the certain app. The Chinese version is very aggressive in shutting down the app in the background. One app I get quite regular notification is the email app despite I use the same frequency with the others. One advantage I find for its behaviour is my battery is really efficient. I have times that the phone lasts me 3 full days with about 5 hours SOT between charges.

no need to use your knuckle on the build number. just regular touch with fingers will work.

Does anyone use Gesture Search?

Hey guys,
Does anyone use Gesture Search from Google? I just found out about this app and I'm lovin' it! but I couldn't figure out how to use the 'Double flip' function in the app. From what I saw, the app's suppose to start when you flip the phone, it's a neat function but apparently I can't get to work on my Rachael anyone got any ideas?
Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3ZYKIqj7A
sounds interesting, going try that app right now
I can't get the flip to work either...

doesn't work with yours as well huh? maybe i should report a bug to Google
It also didn't work for me, I was going to post my own thread about it
did not work for me as well, updated and tried as soon as i got the market updates notification
Me neither! Tried on all settings, tried left handed, right handed. But nope, no joy.
I use it all the time to dial numbers..
I cant stand the stock dialer app, and the 5 clicks to get to someone.
gesture only takes a few seconds.
Always worked fine for me.

Yea, that's what i love about this app. I can just swipe two letters
and my friend would pop up on my screen and I can just tap the call button.
Lovin' it! But we're talking about the Double Flip function on the new
update for the app (ver 1.2). Does that work for you?
I just posted a thread on the Google Discussion page, hopefully someone
can fix this. Will keep you guys posted

I don't know if you are on MM yet but I noticed that there is a thing under App's (on MM) in settings where you can set what apps draw over e.g.. facebook chat bubbles. I think if you enable your apps that you want notifying you on lock-screen to draw over mode then it may show on lock-screen. Its working so far for my weather updates from google app... I could be entirely wrong and I am using a fairly wonky build of MM but I just thought I would offer my insight Best of luck bud.

I am not on marshmallow as yet waiting for the Ota
I'm sure MM will fix that for you bud!
I do know the struggle, waiting on OTA's for us in New Zealand is painful. On top of the fact that before I went MM I wasn't getting notifications at all, calls missed cause it wasn't bringing the call screen up...all sorts of havoc.
Worst comes to worst you could try factory restore, then do the theme thing that other guy mentioned. You should technically have a default, it's weird you are missing it.

Notification when I press Power Button

Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.
I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.
@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!
I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!

It's probably a thing that MUST remain like the settings screen and quick tiles. There are parts that you must follow. This is one of them.
I really enjoy it and use the shortcuts many times a day.
Just because you think "it's broken" doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you.

Enjoy it? now there's three different processes steps just to get to restart. on Android 10 it's literally just hitting the power button to get to the full menu. yes, enjoy yourself.

What are you talking about? It's the exact same process turning off your phone as Android 10...
It's still the same, since it's how to original android 11 is.
I agree with you about how inconvenience is that, it adds extra steps to do things.
but, in the other hand it's also makes user easier if they have like cards stored in their phone so that they can easily access them, or maybe having a smart home also would be a lot easier to control.
I just wish that oos will have the option if the user want to use the old one or the new one.
also you said that oneplus could just easily change that if they want to, since the beginning oos is the "improved" version of the stock android and still have the same experience as the stock one
so they add a bunch of new features, NOT changing the stock feature so that the user would loosing the experienced of the stock one

It's the same but with extra step
since I always reboot my phone every day to refresh the phone, this change quiet give me some inconvenience
before you just hold the power button then press , now you have to touch the 3 dot menu tap the power option and choose the option
which the 3 dot menu is a bit far for my one hand operation, also I don't know how to do the advance reboot
don't get me wrong, at first I'm a bit skeptical about that but now I'm used to it and quiet liking it
It's till there..., and you wright! Is Bad. I don't like it one bit.
But , if you are root'ed like me i use Easy Reboot app.

Firmware vC33 (International only) is out!

Here, as usual for the "vendor" package.
For the full ROM upgrade you have to go to the proper support website.
Not for EU variant?
Thank you very much for the info an download - any news on the changelog?
here is some info:

Did you guys try it? I saw a few screenshots somewhere that there are some new AOD styles, is that true? As the ones that are available now are very bland (made them like they don't care) that would be a huge deal for me.

Hey ! I downloaded update from Indian site and my phone is global (europe). As far as I see there's much more clock styles for AOD. Screenshots in attachment.

The linked stuff os just the firmware, the so called "vendor blob".
For the full ROM update you have to reach out Realme's support site, something like this and select "realme X2 pro".

Yeah I'm just waiting for the release on EU website as I've always done, just feel more confident that way. I'm just curious, I can't find the website again which showed the new AOD style, so you guys don't see new stuff?
is global version de eu version?
how do i know which i have.
I also receive the OTA but I can't find it on the realme support page, it still show the .32
Little question, I'm currently rooted. Can I installe the OTA via the Realme updater without issue ? (except the loss of root, but I don't care)
I've noticed an issue with the dialer. When calling someone there is no dialer tone so I don't know if it's actually ringing until the other person answers. Did anyone else notice this issue after updating to c.33?

Hello.
I've made the C33 update too but I don't have the behavior you're describing.
I tried calling multiple phone numbers I have at the office (mobile and fix) and each time I was hearing the usual tone before people pick up the line.
By my side, I have noticed another strange issue, but I don't know if it's due to the C33 update or if it's is due to something coming from my unit only.
After finishing the update process, the phone restarts normally but at the beginning I have a pop-up message asking me if I want to activate location services.
Each time I reboot my device, this pop-up message does show and I have to accept it even if the location services hasn't been switched OFF before reboot.
This pop-up message doesn't show if I make a restart instead of a reboot.
However, the more annoying thing is that the GNSS services aren't working as before whatever a restart or reboot is done.
If I use a GPS test application, I usually can see the number of sats and all the relevant details they give (NMEA messaged, etc...).
But since C33 update, I can see these information only for a minute or a few more, then they stop being refreshed and no other information are available than the position and speed.
It doesn't affect navigation, but I have some personal tracking project and these information were essential for my needs.
Can someone make a test with its X2 Pro and tell me if this issue does only concern my phone and not the C33 update?

I have exactly the same symptoms. GPS tool works after reboot for three minutes. Then all satellites are gone. See second screenshot. Navigation keeps working and is accurate. I do not have a "enable location pop-up" after each reboot.
I have X2pro 12/256 global with C33.

I do not get this message when rebooting, but I do have the same with the GPS test app (tried 2). It does give my right location also when moving around so the GPS does work correctly.
Thank you people for the quick feedback.
I don't know if it is possible to apply C32 *.ozip package after a C33 update to recheck if the behavior was also present in previous firmware release.
I tried looking for some answers about firmware version reverts, but I can only find downgrade process to go back to Android 9, and it isn't what I want to do.
I know this type of NMEA informations isn't relevant for everybody, but in my case this issue has a huge impact on a bench metrology system I'm using and using my phone as a GNSS Location tracker is a very handy solution.
It was properly working in July then I had to debug other matters before using back this function again in November.
If I was aware this update will affect my phone, I will probably not apply it...
I didn't notice any issues while using Google Maps, nor did I see any warning messages, but I've noticed the same thing using the gps test app.
