I have another bug.

When you install a new app, they make a shorcut but it doesn't appears out of the app box until you restart the phone (there is not visible icon and you can't tap anything).

Maybe something more to add to the list.

P.S. Also, anyone is experiencing troubles with the notification bar? Mine just hides by itself and I want it fixed without hiden. Thanks in advance.

One more small bug. You cannot set a custom picture for AOD. It lets you pick one but never displays it.

Hi I noticed notification bar hides by itself, and I can't remember if it happens yesterday.

It seems to be a bug. Yesterday I had the bar always displayed on the screen, but today just hides when you are not using it and you are not inside of an app or menu.
When you stay on the main screen, just hides by itself.

They shoud seed devices to omnirom devs and other well known community developers, that is what oneplus does and it worked for them really well.

Soundquality listening to music from the headphone jack seems weak too. Will add it to the list once others confirmed it.

I'm shocked that a phone this awesome has such terrible software...the potential for a game changer is there. All Nubia has to do is what OnePlus did when they were still new in the market - Get support from big name devs. Lineage 17.1 with the added Nubia enhancements for gaming would be epic. They should start a community forum and a Beta software channel.

Nubia - Get the help of the developer community, you won't regret it.

I just connected my headset to check it, went into youtube and put an actual music video.
To test the sound strenght, I put my TV volume at 35 and sit 1 meter away (for me, 30 is loud; I have sensitive ears)
I can heard the song perfectly and clear, I didn't detected something out of place like quality or volume, even at max volume.
The strenght was good, at max volume I couldn't heard the TV (even before reaching maximum volume)

P.S.
Tested with a second headset, nothing wrong occured.

I have 2 more things to add to the list:
- The percentage when you are on fast charge don't show decimals. Shows this format: 32%. Not this one 32,33%. You can see the decimals on the CN version I think (proof ->

- When you click the button of recent items, and you press the cross to close all the apps, sometimes don't close anything, others close all but the actuall app. I think this is a bug

Nubia will do what they always have done. NOTHING. They sell devices, and never update them. We are on our own.
THIS! EXACTLY! Funny people who bought this phone and are now upset about the state of the software. They should have done their due diligence and researched the XDA forums of the Red Magic 3 and 3S to find that the software on those phones is also TRASH and even more so, that they were only updated ONCE! They launched with Pie and a ton of bugs, and they'll die with Pie and ton of bugs!

i saw it all regardless i chose this device and voted for the top option "i dont mind Software flaws" it's stable for my demands. I Just made this thread for other people to be able to show nubia what they could fix.

Yeah, I choose this device because of his gross power. The only thing that really bothers me is the problem with the 5GHz band connection.
The other multiple things sure they are a pain in the ass, and they even made me contemplate the return of the device (because you have 15 days to do it).
But we are trying to show them the problems the device has, to have some feedback and support them to do it as fast as possible.

I'm using the North America version 3.08 and I don't have any 5ghz Wi-Fi issues at home.
