General Vivo X Fold: tips and tricks

[OrionBG]

Guys any launcher better than Nova you think of ?

Looked at several options and Nova is still the least bad one...
I'm using the standard Android navigation gestures for back, home and recents (with no nav buttons) and have no issues with them.

By the way guys, I have found that reinstalling the Google services and Google Framework APKs did something, and certain google things that were not working before that, worked properly after. Just see what exact versions you have and download the same ones from apkmirror or somewhere else. I have also downloaded the latest Play store from there too as it was not updating on its own. For instance, I think this finally fixed my connection with my Ticwatch 3 Pro Ultra. ( Wear OS)

Same thing here play store stopped working all of a sudden tryied installing un installing. Would you please tell me exactly what you did Thanks

Anyone know how to get the ad blockers working on Samsung browser on this phone? They all stop working after you open and close the browser. Thanks

Which services and framework apk's did you reinstall? Can you list them please? Thank you!

Also for those on T-Mobile.... if you have access to Ultra Capacity in your neighborhood, go in APN setting and change the bearer to NR.... save and then look at the speed difference.

Thanks.

I had a problem creating a Vivo account with my email so just an FYI use a different email if it happens. I don't know why but it worked for me

 

[MR.MEMORYLANE]

Hey hey was hoping folks have figured this out. I am having these issues: 1. OfferUp won't search or login. 2. Fl studio crashes won't open at all

What I did for OfferUp just to get by for now.I opened it up on online (Google) and created a shortcut to my home page but yeah I have the same problem but this works for me and I one less app I need

 

[MR.MEMORYLANE]

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")

Took a screenshot before I changed mine and it was 638 if that helps

 

[MR.MEMORYLANE]

Did you get a pop up message saying that since the SIM card was not from mainland China that you may not get 5G services? Just heard that some UK SIM cards trigger this warning

I got that pop up here in the US but I get 5G mostly 80% of the time. If it’s not 5G it will switch 4G but I work close to the airport so it might interfere with the towers. I think it automatically pops up because it's a Chinese and not global rom. Hope that helps

Those two. If anyone is having issues with google contacts syncing, you can try also reinstalling Google Contacts sync. Just click on the current one ang get the same version.

Eventually nova launcher has its issues with fullscreen gestures. Is there any way to install new icons and fonts. The vivo ones are chinese and ugly

Right now we can't , we have to wait for Vivo come out software update to do it and hope they will make it soon

How can we change fonts, I only see chinese alternatives from the settings, the current fonts are showing turkish characters in bold

Is anyone in the UK looking to purchase a 512gb model?

I bought mines from wondamobile a month ago. Took 3 days to arrive from HK. So far, apart from notification issues. It's a very good phone

 

[Bryan839]

I'm reluctant to sell mine, I really do love it, but I've been locked into apple for so long it's almost impossible to switcht to anything else.

Look how amazing it looks

What launcher/settings are you using for that setup? It looks so good!

So does the pixel launcher actually. I thought it was the pixel launcher installed with root. But if it is happening on NOVA Launcher it tells me there's a bug in the gestures for Vivo X Fold. As a work around I used Classic Navigation which is fine I suppose
