That's what it looks like on a home screen and full screen YouTube. Might have found the weakness for you.
General Vivo X Fold: tips and tricks
- Thread starter avetny
- Start date
There might be settings to change it but I don't screen mirror much so I don't know a lot about it.
If you have the phone folded while casting the black bars on the side are smaller. But still there.

Super thanks for the in-depth investigation.
Yes that is kind of weakness for me because I like connecting my phone on TV and watching movies I am carrying with me + plus other media.
Hmm I need to research to check if there is any kind of app that does the work for me.
Thanks so much again.
I am still consider getting it...
Hi,
first of all thank you everyone for sharing experiences, tips and tricks. I have decided to buy the phone but I have 1 major requirement that I need to double check.
Does anyone use the phone with companyportal(intune) enabled. This is a "must" for me, my company manages the phone via intune when we setup our accounts to our phones. I know that google services is a requirement and we can install it but wanted to double check if anyone here has this experience. Setting up my company email to the phone is a priority for me..

my fold 3 did that with my samsung g9 neo and technically they're part of the same ecosystem.
Anyone in the UK looking to buy a 512gb version? I love it but the lack of android auto maybe a deal breaker as it means I’d need a second phone in the car
Hey guys, two days ago I got my X fold delivered. Big thanks to Wonda Mobile for a 3 days delivery from Asia to UK!
Interestingly enough I am getting notifications on I think everything with dark mode enabled! Have not deleted any of Vivo's apps and I have not disabled anything. The only place I don't see notifications, other than calls and smses is the always on display.
I'm in London on Smarty (runs on the 3UK network) and have 5G everywhere I had it with my S21 Ultra (it is even better I think) getting more than 700mbs
I have checked and all UK operators are running their 5G networs on bands supportd by the phone.
The only major problem I have is the connection to my Tickwatch 3 pro ultra gps. The Wear OS app (from play store) will connect to the watch but not go through the setup proces after selecting my google account. Just spins and nothing... Tried with the Chinese Ware OS app but during setup it tells me that for decices otside of China I should use the one from the play store. Any help on this would be helpful.
Regarding notifications I just went and enabled everything in app info notifications and permissions sections for the apps I need and also in the single permissions section.
Ask me for specific things and I might be able to test them for you guys.

Thanks dude! Really helpful. I like to have a smallest width setting of 900 under developer options but some people have mentioned that this seems to mess up the brightness bar and quick action icons on the swipe down menu. Would you be able to confirm and take a screenshot if possible? Cheers!
HI,even you connect vivo to TV by wire or mirroring, you still have some black bar
Got 2 update so far but I didn't update my phone yet cause sometime update will give more issues for the phone.
Hope Vivo can catch up software updates with Samsung for multi-tasking, that what I really want right now
We are not an InTune customer but instead utilize Workspace One. I was able to get enrollment to work but there were a few caveats.
1. The device would not pass safetynet attestation. If your InTune admin has this enabled, you will not be able to get by it. As I am one of the admins, I was able to create an exception.
2. The stock launcher will not display the work profile. You will need to use a 3rd party launcher - something like Nova.
Great to hear! I pulled the trigger yesterday - blue 512gb on it's way to me, can't wait!
Let us know if you manage to get any more (eg whatsapp) notifications showing on the always on screen or sidebar. That'd be super useful. I use a Vivo NEX phone at the moment, and while I'm used to Gmail/Email notifications not showing always on, my whatsapp does - so hopefully there is a workaround
Thank you mate for the detailed answer. this is going to be difficult considering that its a 50k+ company and dont think that I would get an exception.
Still a chance if anyone with intune is using this phone, I'd appreciate if they can share their experience.
From what I understand, The only notifications that will show up on the always-on screen are calls and messages, nothing more. This is by design I think. Might be wrong though...Great to hear! I pulled the trigger yesterday - blue 512gb on it's way to me, can't wait!

That is an interesting question... I think it was 681 but not sure. Left it at 768 for now. It looks quite good for me and I'm also using the font size set at "Standard" (by default it is on "Bigger")

I have 5G on the videotron network and forced the 5G radio by using the app "ForceLTE" in the Play Store. I previously used this app to enable 5G for my Oppo Find N and it has worked on both phones with China ROM. I change the settings to "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA" under set preferred network type. After a few moments I have full 5G signal.
I also have managed to get all notifications working using the methods described by Greggles on YouTube. I noticed that even though notifications were being delivered, that they would not appear on the lockscreen. I isolated the culprit to be "Smart Notifications" under "Notifications and Status Bar". By turning that thing off, all my notifications started to appear on the lockscreen. I also ensured that "Google Basic Service Management" was turned on under "Accounts and Sync" which seemed to also help with notification issues.
Lastly, I followed the steps to set up a Vivo account to set a default launcher from a 3rd party app also outlined by Greggles. I have been using Niagara for quite some time and it scaled beautifully for outer screen and inner screen (see photo).
I can say that I have tried most foldables (Z Fold 1/2/3, Surface Duo 1/2, Oppo Find N), and the X Fold has so far delivered the best experience so far. It was well worth it. Happy to see many others enjoying too!2
These are the instructions (assuming you have BLU):
- Download and install DSULoader located at https://github.com/VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader
- Download the following GSI rom to your external storage:
I highly recommend the BvS version found on the page as other versions have issues. Download the BvS LOS version to your device. - Configure DSULoader to load the GSI rom (this requires extra steps - through ADB but the app provides the exact ADB command to enter).
- Once DSULoader is configured, reboot. The rom will never load and it will bootloop for 10 minutes (which is plenty of time to grab the boot.img)
- Enter the following commands through ADB while the GSI rom is bootlooping because of the dual screen
- The boot.img will be stored on your computer (rather the location where ADB is stored). You will need to get the boot.img on your device. You can push the file to the download directory or upload it to gdrive and download the boot.img from your gdrive. The next set of instructions can be found https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html or you can read on
- Open magisk manager once the boot.img is on your device. Tap install under magisk and patch the boot.img. Do not select patch vbmeta.img in boot.img
- Once your boot.img is patched move the patched boot.img back to your machine (preferably in the same directory adb resides)
- Connect your device to your computer and run adb boot bootloader
- Once in fastboot, execute the following command:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img - Once completed run
fastboot reboot
And you are done

Not sure why it is greyed out for you but believe me when I tell you it is not worth it. Many apps do not look OK after this is enabled. I turned it off the next day and never looked back. This especially affects Maps quite badly...1
The option dezborders talks about is not the standard Dark mode one. It is the one in the Developer Options.
I have enabled the normal Dark mode as I can't stand the light from all those menus, especially in the evenings. Yes, it might be messing up some notifications but I get all of them on my watch (including Messenger, Viber, and so on.) -
6Finally successfully root my X Fold.
System Version is 15.7, here's my original boot.img without patch, hope this is useful to you guys.
And this is the 15.7 OTA package link which I intercept by wireshark.
And is there anyone know how to connect Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 to Vivo X fold?
Tried for a few hours, but didn't get any solution.
