    Thread Bluetooth issues: headset connected but calls go through the phone!

    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...

    Thread get rid of constant notifications that wifi calling is available?

    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...

    Thread Huawei P20 pro dual sim CLT-L29: wifi calling works in the UK (Vodafone, EE, Three)

    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...

    Thread Any icon or indication that a call is being made with wi-fi calling?

    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...

    Thread UK: where to buy the dual sim (L29) P20 pro?

    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...

    Thread P20 Pro CLT-L29 dual sim: compatible with wifi calling in the UK (EE or Vodafone)?

    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.

    Thread Is there a way to get push email to work with Doze?

    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...

    Thread Dual sim version compatible with wi-fi calling (EE network in the UK)?

    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...

    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...

    Thread How to get push email notifications to work when the phone is in doze?

    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...

    Thread Can I use Tasker (or a similar app) to automate exiting Doze mode?

    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...

    Thread Questions on Doze and apps not working properly

    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...

    Thread [Q] How to disable background media scan on Kit Kat?

    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...

    Thread Wakelocks and battery stats access in Lollipop and Marshmallows

    Can the Z5 read battery stats and wakelocks logs (e.g. apps like wakelock detector or better battery stats) with Lollipop without root? Is this supposed to change in any way with Marshmallows? It beats me why Kitkat doesn't allow reading battery stats: just reading, not writing nor changing...

    Thread External SD card access (move apps + apps writing to SD) in Lollipop and Marshmallows

    With Lollipop, does the Z5 (without rooting): allow apps to be moved to an external SD card? allow apps to write to the external SD card? With the Z3 and Kitkat, point 2 was possible with root, but I haven't figured out point 1, not even with root. I read somewhere that Lollipop should allow...
