General Vivo X Fold: tips and tricks
- Thread starter avetny
- Start date
I checked with an app and it appears the device is failing SafetyNet check. Most probably something from the Google services framework is missing of does not have the proper permissions
Is it the blue one? I'm in Oxfordshire and would be interested. Please get in touch.
Just a quick one, did you get your x fold 3 days after purchase from wonda? My fold 3 literally died yesterday and I need a new phone ASAP. The 2-3 working day processing time and 7-10 delivery time was what stopped me from checking out yesterday. I'm also in the uk.
Yes, I made the order on 27th and it was here on the 30th but have in mind that there is going to be some holiday there and things will take a while. There was a warning on Wonda's web site...
Hi everyone
Any new updates/news about the global version of vivo x fold? should I wait to buy it?
I read it will launch globally in September, but maybe this is not an official thing, so what do you suggest? buying the Chinese ROM or waiting for the global version (in case vivo really wants to release it globally)?

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly, I really appreciate it. I took the plunge and bought the blue 512gb just now! Do they ship by DHL or Fedex? And there's no customs to pay right?
Thanks again!
Hi
They use FedEx,
Hi, they use FedEx, all duty tax are paid upon checkout, no extra payment on delivery.
This is as they stated on their website clearly.
I recommend everyone to use PayPal in case they are not comfortable buying from a new sellers, you will have 180days buyer protection.
Also as soon you receive the phone, try to register it with vivo.com immediately by S/N or IMEI, so you know it's original and authentic vivo brand, not just a first class copy phone.
You can check the S/N immediately front of FedEx guy, if it's not original, then don't accept the shipment, and ask them to return it to HK.
Hi, I think it's an Indian website (https://www.bgr.in/gadgets/mobiles/vivo-x-fold-5g-price-in-india-1242736/)
you can see it: will release in September 2022 (but maybe this is in India only, or maybe they mean everywhere!!) I really don't know.
I'm afraid to buy the Chinese ROM now and then another month or two a global version there + vivo local dealer don't accept the warranty here as it's a Chinese ROM phone.
Thanks
Hello, thanks to your effort, Google location history finally works well on my phone.For anyone who wants to use VoLTE and Google location history, here's my Magisk module:

You don't need old scam app, just unlock bootloader and use DSU Loader to get boot.img (search it).
boot.img for PD2178_A_12.0.14.8.W10 is saved here:
Vivo x70 Pro+ Bootloader Unlock - HOW TO GUIDE
WARNING! THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE CAN GO FROM HERE. THIS MIGHT BREAK YOUR DEVICE!!! UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER REQUIRES A WIPE AFTERWARDS! UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER WILL DISABLE YOUR FINGERPRINT READER! (FIXED BY RELOCKING)...forum.xda-developers.com

But after install your module, most the notifications works non-realtime, it works like the original system without delete pem, which means until I tap the app, the notifications will show, but if I did not open it manually, it won't show any notification.
I thought it is the problem caused by GCM, but no evidence, and I didn't figure out any solution.
Do you have any idea? Thank you!
(Sorry for bad English.)
Guys, I'm having quite a hard time syncing my wear os watch to the phone.

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.
4Hey 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.4Extracted from update log:
