On the Mi 9 you need certain codes: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/wifi-calling-volte-mi-9-t3917887 Maybe try those and see if you have any luck? May I ask where you bought your phone and in what country and what network you are trying to use wifi calling? On the Mi 9 thread...

Sorry, I am a bit confused, what does that mean in practice? Does it mean that, without that option, it's the phone which chooses if the wifi signal is strong enough to route calls via wifi-calling, and, if it isn't, it makes calls through the mobile network? If so, why is that even relevant...

Do you mean that, with Vodafone, wi-fi calling does not work at all? Or that it works, but the phone chooses to switch to mobile signal if the wifi is not strong enough? May I also ask where you bought the phone from? I have been considering a Mi Note 10 from clove.co.uk

I have been having some Bluetooth issues with my Huawei P20 Pro dual sim CLT-L29. My mono bluetooth headset often appears as connected, but, if I make or take a call, it goes through the phone speaker, not through the headset. If I click on bluetooth - headset name it says "connected for calls...

I have an unlocked Huawei P20 Pro, dual sim (CLT-L29) in the UK. Wi-fi calling works with Vodafone, EE and Three, but Vodafone is the only network which causes constant notifications to pop-up on my phone, to let me know that wi-fi calling is available. I could maybe understand that a...

I didn't understand - what did you mean?

Glance Plus is the only app which I found does something similar, but it doesn't work as well as the Always on Display in Samsung phones. If anyone knows of other apps, any recommendation is welcome. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thsoft.glance&hl=en_GB

Not a question, but an FYI. I bought the dual sim version (CLT-L29) of the Huawei P20 Pro in the UK, from clove.co.uk FYI (hoping it’s useful to other people): I have tested it with the 3 major networks in the UK, and wi-calling works with all 3, even if the phone is an unlocked dual-sim...

As per the subject: is there any icon or any way to let you know that a call is being made with wi-fi calling? Samsung phones have an icon (the one to the left of the wifi icon below) but I couldn't find anything similar on my P20 pro. Yet I am sure wifi calling works because I can make calls in...

Quick question: is it possible to get typeapp to retrieve mail from the inbox folder immediately (push), but to also retrieve mail from another folder every 4 hours or so? This is the setup I had with Aquamail and K9mail. I ask because I have a 'newsletter' folder where all the newsletters...

As for typeapp, what leaves me confused is that its documentation talks about whitelisting it in the battery settings. However, even though 99% of Android users fail to understand this, whitelisting is only a very partial exemption. You don’t need to whitelist Whatsapp in order to receive...

You might also want to look at these two links about privacy: https://mobilsicher.de/security-desaster-blue-mail-app-and-other-email-apps-transmit-login-credentials https://androidforums.com/threads/email-which-apps-keep-it-private.935578/

Are you sure it works when the device is in Doze? I ask because Google documentation explains very clearly https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby that whitelisting is only a partial exemption, and that the one and only way to be sure the device receives...

Anyone? yes, I know it's an old question, but it's still valid! Am I the only user for whom not having push email is an issue? I can live without getting instant notification of my private email, but work email is a different thing and I have had multiple situations where this has caused problems.

A few questions on Huawei Private Space vs Samsung Secure Folders As per the subject, I’d like to understand how the two compare. I have a Samsung and am considering getting the Huawei P20 Pro. I have found a broad description of Private Space in this manual...

Common sense, as well as explicit rules in most forums, suggest it is frowned upon to hijack discussions and bring them off topic. If this is not true of XDA, I apologise because I didn't know. I still dare question, however, what the benefit is of reading a discussion about where to buy an item...

Don't hijack other people's discussions. Asking a question by opening a separate thread would be better. Also bear in mind you're more likely to hear pro-Huawei opinions on Huawei forums, and pro-Samsung opinion on Samsung forums, because, clearly, each forum will be more populated by people who...

Have you tried third-party apps to get always on notifications for whatsapp and other apps of your choice?

Thank you, guys. qwerty1q, have you tried wondamobile? Does the price really include VAT and custom fees, as they say? You don't think buying from a UK store like clove is worth the extra £100 or so? dreamWille, do you remember if you bought it directly from Amazon France or from a...

qwerty1q, do you know of any UK or Western European store, other than clove.co.uk (and strangers on ebay or amazon...) that sell the dual sim version?

I am in the UK and am considering getting a dual sim (the L29 variant) of the Huawei P20 Pro. Do you know of any store that sells the dual sim version (sim-free, unlocked), and that would ship to the UK? A reputable foreign store that would ship to the UK would be OK, too (but if from outside...

Can the native always on display notifications for non-stock apps? Eg for an email client other than Huawei's built in, for Whatsapp, etc?

May I ask what, exactly, you have tried and doesn't work? I don't know about Huawei, but with Samsung phones only the sim which is activated for data can be compatible with wifi calling (at least that's the case with EE). Did Three UK sell you the L29 variant of the P20 pro? Have you tried if a...

In what country? The UK? Western networks hate dual sim phones as they go against their very business model, which is the reason why dual sim versions of flagship models are practically never sold in Western Europe or the US, but typically have to be sourced from the UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore...

I am considering buying the dual-sim CLT-L29 version of the Huawei P20 Pro, and I'd like to understand if it is compatible with wifi calling in the UK, specifically with EE and Vodafone. I understand from the networks' websites that their wifi calling should be compatible with single sims P20...

The doze mode introduced with Marshmallows breaks push email because email apps will no longer check for email when the phone is in doze. You can exempt apps from battery optimisation, but the exemption is only partial (read: useless). With Nougat it's even worse because Doze has become more...

So, here's my experience. I bought a 128 GB dual sim s7 edge SM-G935FD from ebay. I think it ran a UAE firmware. There was no wifi calling. I didn't try to update the firmware. I went to the sammobile website: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/ , searched the...

I am not sure dual sim S8s are out yet - we were talking about the s7 edge. These dual sim phones can typically be bought in countries like the United Arab Emirates or Hong Kong, or on ebay, but if you buy from there and bring the phone to Europe or the US it basically means no warranty. There...

What do you mean exactly when you say you changed the CSC? When you ran Odin, did you load all 4 files: BL, AP, CP, CSC ? Specifically, did you load the CSC file or the Home_CSC file in the CSC box? Thanks a lot!

I understand the dual-sim version is the L29, and it's not sold in Europe, but can be bought on ebay. Does anyone know if this is compatible with wi-fi calling on the EE network in the UK? EE says the P10 plus is, even if not bought directly from them, but it's not clear if this applies to the...

copex , thanks! Are you on EE? Have you had a chance to verify if wifi calling works? Also, is there any particular way to flash the firmware with Odin? Or shall I just follow one of the many guides on the web? I don't need to be rooted, right? I don't want to root because otherwise I won't have...

So you flashed a single-sim firmware (for G935F) onto a dual sim phone (G935FD) and it worked? Did you retain dual sim functionality?

This guy said that he managed to flash the sm-g935f firmware onto an sm-g935fd , ie a single sim firmare onto a dual sim phone. http://www.coolsmartphone.com/2016/04/26/wifi-calling-on-unlocked-galaxy-s7-handsets/#comment-3029183255 He claims he retained dual sim functionality, but failed to get...

Thanks both. SM-G935FD is the dual sim S7 edge sold in Singapore and other Asian countries (not Hong Kong). If I search sammobile.com, I see there are: a Singapore Starhub version (Starhub is a local carrier): https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/126542/G935FXXU1DQB7_G935FOLB1DQB7_STH/...

chrisully, thanks. S7 or s7 edge? Single or dual sim? If you have a UK version, I assume it's single sim? Where did you buy it? Also, may I ask what BTU means, exactly, and how to interpret all the codes of a firmware? I thought BTU meant unbranded, but there are Asian unbranded firmwares...

I am interested in getting a dual sim version of the s7 edge to use with EE in the UK. Could you please elaborate on compatibility with EE's wifi calling? Did you read about it in some forum? Do you know people who have tried it? Do you know exactly which versions are compatible (935FD, 930 ...

The S7 edge is one of the few phones which the UK network EE says is compatible with its wifi calling, even if not bought directly from them (ie not on an EE firmware). http://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-device/wifi-calling However, are the dual sim versions of the s7 edge compatible, too? AFAIK...

No, it does not. Android's official documentation explains that whitelisting is effectively useless, because 'other restrictions still apply' : https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby.html#support_for_other_use_cases I have tried, and imap idle with k9 mail...

The doze mode introduced with Marshmallows breaks push email because email apps will no longer check for email when the phone is in doze. Specifically, push email with imap idle no longer works, because email clients do not have access to the network when the phone is in doze. AFAIK the only way...

No updates? Am I the only one who cares about push email not working?

No one knows? Anyway, this partial solution works for me: http://androidforums.com/threads/marshmallow%E2%80%99s-doze-broke-push-notifications-my-fix-is-preventing-doze-with-macrodroid.1058445/ It's about using MacroDroid to wake up the phone every 45 minutes, thus prveenting Doze mode from...

I have found that the GSAM battery app tracks it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en_GB ( charts --> other). I haven't found a way to monitor it from Android's system - not on my sony Z5, at least.

Is it possible to set up Tasker (maybe with this plugin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin ) or another automation app (eg Macrodroid) so that it wakes up the phone every x minutes, say, every hour, in order to cause the phone from exiting...

I have a dual sim Sony Z5 running Android 6.0.1, but I am posting here because my question should be generic and not Sony-specific. I have been doing lots of reading online, but cannot find the answer to these very basic questions: When exactly does Doze kick in? Some sites say after 1 hour...

Is there a way to disable media scan on KitKat? I have a rooted Sony Z3 with an external microsd card. I know there was an app for Gingebread, but I understand it's not compatible with Android 4+. I understand it used to be common to place a .nomedia empty file in folders not to be scanned...

I am having lots of issues (have had to reset it 3 times over the last 10 days!) with my Sony Z3 running KitKat, but I am posting here as I see this as a generic, non-Sony specific question. I am rooted and use BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock detector to identify partial wakelocks. I have had to...

I have a Sony Z3 dual sim (D6633) running stock KitKat, rooted. I am posting here, and not in Sony's forum, as I understand this is a generic issue which can happen to any phone, and is not Z3-specific. I cannot download anything from the play store; the screen is always stuck at 'download...

I would never consider it because it doesn't have a microusb port: you can only charge it using the pebble-shaped carrier it comes with, which i don't want to carry around with me all the times. One thing I like, though, is that it seems the only headset I know of with an earplug that seals...
