Finally we have been blessed with the android 9 update but something im annoyed about is the dark mode is more like a dark grey mode and not a fully black mode. Does anyone know if vivo have plans to add a fully black mode? It would be beneficial to the vivo's battery since it has an oled screen. Plus i think it looks better ☺

The Nex battery life is already awesome so that doesn't bother me. What's important to me is reducing the blinding glare and it does that very well.

:angel: Respectfully i honestly don't know why you come to xda forums, everything is fine with you Twotems, almost every post i see from you is saying everything is fine, battery life is fine, no need for ui changes, it seems like you don't have any ambition towards new stuff and ton's more customization.
If we say we need more battery life it means we need more, not "it's fine".
If total black gives 20minutes more of use, its 20 more minutes of peace of mind. :cool:
If you check other brands like samsung, oneplus, xiaomi they know and they give the total black UI to users so everyone is happy. They don't want to just make one type of person happy, they want to make everyone happy. :highfive:

Samsung x2, iNew, Jiayu, Lenovo, THL x2, Nubia, ZTE, Xiaomi x2, Asus x2, Blackview, Huawei (current), Vivo (current). That's 16 phones I've owned in the last six years and I have plenty of posts on here slamming some of them. I think my credentials for new stuff and experimentation are obvious.

However I'm very satisfied with my Nex which replaced my Mix2. There are a few little things I'd like to change but I realize all phones are a compromise. The fact that you're complaining about the No.1 2018 GSMArena ranked flagship for battery life is frankly ridiculous. My desire for dark mode is to eliminate glare. The battery aspect is a non-issue for me but it would certainly be welcome on my Huawei P10.

I come here to share my experience and learn from others. My days of rooting and modding were short-lived and I don't bother with it any longer. I don't need your endorsement to participate on xda.

I'm not a fan of dark gray either.
Prefer pure black theme.

There's many complaint from users about that and Vivo said will improve it with future update

Until then there's custom black that meets out needs.

You guys should all of you complain through Vivo support via messenger.

As many people request truly black theme Vivo will listen otherwise no.
