TA-1021 - visual bug with dark themed apps - Nokia 6 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've got a TA-1021 and there is a bug where dark-themed apps use the wrong list dividers, which are black instead of white. Here are images of some apps running on my Nokia 6: [url]https://imgur.com/a/yBVEd[/URL], and here they are running on other devices (both real devices and emulators), on different Android versions: [url]https://imgur.com/a/5B1nD[/URL]
Perhaps it's some kind of overlay that Nokia (or whoever HMD outsources the development to) applied to the device that causes this problem. It's been this way since I bought the device some months ago, and every time there was an update I hoped somebody at Nokia would've noticed the bug and fixed it, but apparently no one paid attention to it. I've also posted on the community forum but received no response.
Is this problem present on other variants / other Nokia phones as well, and does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you.

New ROM for Orange customers

HTC has released a new ROM for Orange customers.
It can be found on the HTC website.
good find, now if only htc would be so kind as to give a changelog
Could anybody who has downloaded this tell us what the major differences are please. Don't want to be bothered to download it if it tries to fix a problem i haven't got - if it aint broke etc.

Same here, I want to know what changes it will make, No point doing all that hard work for a minor bug that I don't have.
Thanks.

Well I've downloaded and installed the update - I'm one of those "strange" fellows who assumes that an update should just be applied as it will "update" things.
What have I found:
No real differences to anything at all. I did have a bug whereby the browser would start turning itself off randomly (both WiFi and 3G and with 1 or more tabs open & many different sites so no idea what caused it - happened both straight after a reboot and also when been left on for a few days) This no longer seems to be happening.
My main bugbear with it now is that I've found that I can't see all the programs that I used to have on the Store. I can see Twidroid free but not Twidroid Pro (which seeing as I've paid for it I'd rather like to download again!) I also can't see Space Physics - again I can see the lite version but I've paid for the full game and that's not showing anywhere.
I can see other programs that I've previously purchased & able to download (CoPilot, Retro Defence) but it's irritating in the least to not get the full versions of other programs I've paid for already.

I wouldn't worry about that. It sometimes happens when a carrier releases an update. They need to 'validate' it with the big G before it gets access to protected/paid apps...

Thanks for the reply, frankly I haven't come across the bug on my browser, which goes to say, I won't need this update.

I have just installed this and there are no real differences except they have added a 4x4 (i.e. the whole screen) People widget, and increased the size of the thumbnails on the People widget.

Applied this update. Readme did not work. Now my headphone connection autosense is fsuked. HTC still haven't confirmed the changelog.
Hi,
I am new here and I am Hichjacking this thread, as my problem is in regards to the ROM Update on Orange.
As someone posted in this thread earlier, I do have the same issue that some of my paid apps are no longer available for me. ie Silent time, my backup pro.
I was able to get my MyBackup Pro online, however Silent time pro is not available. Is this also probably because its not approved for the new ROM update yet, although its not nearly 2 weeks old.
I can live without the other ones, but I loved Silent time Pro.
Can anyone help me and shed some light?

Android Market on Froyo...

I noticed that some apps (mainly paid ones) and my own downloaded apps don't show up in my marketplace (using Froyo). Does anyone know how to fix that or is it something I just need to deal with for now?
This has been explained before. There is a post in the dev section on how to solve this problem.
In fact it was only a few days ago I answered the same question.
Basically its just because of the new version, and the older programs not written with the future in mind, same thing happened when people manually updated other versions, should fix itself, when froyo offciqlly rolls out.

Presentation, and question of a newcomer - signal and GT-S6102 ?

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to this forum, I've been following some discussions and threads for about 3 to 4 weeks now, I wrote a mail to members privately, and this is now my first forum posting, opening a thread.
My mobile phone is of course a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos aka GT-S6102, which I have had for about three and a half years now and I'm pretty satisfied with the phone I must say.
I am not really a programmer (oh well, I played around with Pascal a few decades ago!), neither am I a developer – and I admire all the more the work done by some of you here –, and I been using Linux for over 10 years now and I know my ways around this operating system.
So when I got my first smartphone I quickly realised that there had to be a way for me to free my phone.
And with the beginning of the new year, I began to take action! Inspired by all extremely useful information I read on this site, I was able to
- root my phone,
- work with CWM (temporary version ), among other things make a nandroid backup,
- install a new kernel (iDuos),
- free space on the internal storage on my phone (thanks to Link2SD), etc...
And much of the software, the methods, the information, came from the pages of this site – so thanks again to all of the contributors!
But the reason that makes me post this message today is the frustration that I have, due to the fact that I was absolutely unable to install an application that I was very eager to test and use : Signal private messenger.
No matter what I tried, the app (3.9 and now 3.10) would not get installed on my phone!
I tried with Wi-Fi, with the data service of my phone service carrier, I tried with a second cellphone which is just the same as mine, I tried using Hideman VPN service, I even tried a version of Signal that did not come from the play store (of course I did not forget to tick "allow third-party applications") – all with no success!
I even got in touch with Open Whisper System (the only thing I haven't done so far is get in touch with Google) and exchanged several mails with Masha (well, perhaps my ability to communicate is not the best), but I did not get any answer to my last question – which is the reason why I am asking the same question to the readers of this thread (and users of Samsung Galaxy Y Duos aka GT-S6102) :
do you know if Open Whisper System's Signal Private Messenger is supposed to work with our cellular telephone?
Do you have it on your phones? Did you have trouble installing it?
Anyway thanks a lot for your answers! And if there is anything else you need to know about the configuration of my phone, please let me know.

User switching @m3 lite?

Hi all,
got my new Mediapad m3 lite 10 today. It is planned to use this device as a family device, and so each one of us would like to have its own account at this pad. But I can't find the setting to set this up :silly:
My Pad is a BAH-W09 with Software BAH-W09C100B022
Thanks, jennix

Hi!
Same problem with my pad bah-l09
I was searching yesterday for apps, which can deliver these functionality to this device, but i only found apps which are cloning other apps to use them in parallel and/or with different accounts, but thats not what i want. Other apps like SwitchMe (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme&hl=de&rdid=fahrbot.apps.switchme) require root access, which also isn't available at this time i think. Are there any other app which can build user profiles at this tablet?
cheers, jennix
I got a response from the Huawei-Support and they told me that the M3 Lite 10 is not meant to get multi-user - support. :/
WTF!!! I was considering buying that tablet because it seemed to neatly fit my needs. However that Huawei unnecessarily(!) stripped off Android's build in multi-user capability for a tablet(!) is almost a complete KO criterion. I wanted to use it amongst other stuff to install different users for my wife and me so we both could check our emails independantly - what an overly rare and complex task! If the tablet can't handle that scenario it's almost useless for me. :-/
I'm really a bit sick'n'tired of hoping some day someone will find a new trick to root phone AB, someone will find the time to build a new recovery for phone CD and someone will be able to compile a working current Android version for phone EF in order to unleash the full capability of some hardware I own. Think I should switch back into search mode, throw in a couple of bucks more and get a M$ tablet without some artificially cripled firmware and instead the guarantee to sustain a current software version with all relevant bug and security fixes during the product's life time...
I just got my M3 tab today, noticed this same problem.
Checked from google and found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ultiaccount&rdid=com.excelliance.multiaccount
Installing this shows warning about virus, so deleted instally.
Could someone check if this is really virus or false alarm?
Hm, install a Chinese app to get a single second user as a poor replacement for something that's build in but has been willfully ablated by the manufacturer - I wouldn't be willing to do that...

With Google's "Feature Drop", How Hard Would It Be To....

I don't know if you've heard and/or even know what I might be talking about, but apparently Google is going to be releasing some impressive updates to their apps within the next couple of months; called "Feature Drop(s)". You can find out more about it either by Google searching it or here like I did: source (https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/9/...bocall-screening-portrait-mode-duo-video-call)
Now, I’m practically drooling over some of the planned updates; but no more so than for the automatic robocall screening! I even apply it whenever I can when any number that’s not in my phonebook calls. It has always been my gripe that this wasn’t automatic and anyone that talks to the “screener” are the only ones that get through! But, apparently the great minds at Google figured things out…! Now, if only it were possible to get it to our Ol’ Faithful or our taimen/walleye, sooner than later…..
I know there had been ways of getting something from the newer Pixels (dark mode, camera, Assistant, etc.) and it might’ve been as easy as installing the .apk…
I highly doubt it were to be as easy as merely installing an .apk that’s from a Pixel 4, but……
In any case, any and all are free to chime in…
And, in any case, I guess you can also consider this a plea to anyone that can make this happen – whether it’s offering their stock .apk and/or a modified one and/or a method to obtain this app/feature…
Thanks in advanced!
UPDATE
Well...for those who might be interested....apparently it's already in the works from Google -- source: Pixel's Automatic Call Screen comes to older models soon - 9to5Google -- so I guess I'm calling out to anyone that might be able to get it to our taimen/walleye even before the official "rollout"...
