I cant see it yet here in philippines.
any1 got a apk :-D

Another thanks for the heads up - also not always checking.
Tis good!

Google really seems to me kicking a$$ This is like a huge upgrade over the older version and quite unexpected too! Microsoft really seems to be losing out to android in a big way....
The annoying bug in pinch and zoom is now fixed.....earlier it used to suddenly zoom out like crazy or zoom in abruptly....it never used to smoothly zoom in/out...!
Great job google!

Can't see it in Romania...

For those with root who can't find it, use Market Enabler to set a US provider. Should show up then.

Sorry, but what market fix do you have in mind ?
My problem is, in spite of having downloaded an update mid-December (and "About" reads "version 5.0, build 5014"), it still shows no sign of vectorized rendering.
So if there's some market fix to apply, I'll gladly do!
(For information, the Androïd Market upgraded itself at the sametime without any problem, and I have a International i9000, German firmware)

didnt notice that. Thanks

how do you know its not vector based

Well, the vector feeling just isn't there. It's still the same sequence when zooming: blurry zoomed bitmap, then grey grid, then tile by tile redrawing (downloading of bitmaps) at the new resolution. When using fingers for zooming (or shrinking), the zooming (shrinking) movement I initiate is carried through until it reaches the next zoom level.
Other reasons that make me think something is wrong with my 5.0 version:
According to the google help page about caching and offline reliability (www google com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1079238 - sorry no URL yet) I should have a "Cache Settings" menu item; all I find in the "More" submenu are "Labs", "Help", "Terms, Privacy & Notices", "About".
I never got anything from dragging down two fingers (which should "tilt" the map somehow)
Compass mode is not there either (first, tapping on the compass button to center the map on my current location, then tapping on it again to activate compass mode)
Funny thing is I've already had a google maps upgrade, and that was successful (what it changed, mainly, from the original version shipped with my device was that the "compass" button used to be a Lab feature, and was streamined in that version. I also think that the Google Places integration was much more comprehensive in that version).
Thanks for any help,

3 issues I have with my G2

Issue #1. Sometimes when I try to set a wallpaper it puts on the default blue wallpaper with white lines. The only way the wallpaper I selected shows up is if I reboot. ( I think this might be an adw ex problem )
Issue #2. When watching videos in youtube or on different sites the video will freeze up but the audio will continue even if I exit the website or youtube app. I usually have to reboot or just wait the duration of the video for the audio to stop.
Issue #3. When I open my gallery the pictures don't always appear and the videos in my gallery never work. I just get a black screen but the audio will play.
Does anyone have these same issues or know a way to fix them ? My phone is stock. Thanks in advance.

I have that problem to sometimes when I'm on youtube

1. try a different launcher and see if it still happens. If it does, it's an issue with your ROM/phone. If it doesn't, it's an issue with ADW Ex (and I'd then recommend that you try another one, like LauncherPro or something)
2. There is a known issue with the latest version of YouTube app - to avoid this, either downgrade to an earlier version, or make sure you rotate back to portrait mode before the video is finished playing. If the video ends (or you try to pause/stop) in landscape mode, your phone will lock up.
3. Are these videos that you recorded with the device itself, or ones that you put on there from your computer?
You mentioned that you're stock - are you rooted? Have you flashed anything (new kernel, etc?)

When I said I was stock I meant that I am unrooted. I apologize. The videos in my gallery are ones that I have recorded myself . Thank you for answering my other problems. Launcher Pro does not bug out my wallpaper.

I would do a master reset and if it is still happening after that then you have a defective G2 and should do a warranty exchange

Just an update , I am having the same issue with the wallpaper on launcher pro plus. Perhaps it is the phone itself and not any of the home replacements ?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Are you trying to use the same wallpaper, or have you tried a few different images? Might be soemthing funky with the file itself?

It happens to any wallpaper I select from the default wallpapers. It really isn't a big deal and I guess I can deal with it. It is just annoying that I have to reboot if I want a different wallpaper lol.

Yeah I was wondering about this crap. Any specific version that you recommend, and where to get the APK?
Also about the wallpaper problem; I've had this problem in the past and it was an issue with the ROM, but clearly you don't have that since you aren't even rooted. Like someone else suggested, if you can do a factory reset, as painful as that is, it might fix the issue. Who knows, maybe something in the system became corrupted?

Pictures are Rotated 90° in Handcent

Just got the SE4GT. Gotta say this is a Great Device!
One of the issues I have is that when I attach a picture to Handcent, and it is converted to MMS, the pic is rotated 90° counter clockwise.
But when I use the native message app, the attachment is in the proper orientation.
The other issue is that when I am going to take a picture, and the camera is in
Portrait mode, the settings are horizontal. If I enable auto rotate in the phone settings, the settings rotate properly. But I usually have auto rotate off. Do I always have to activate it in order to have the camera settings properly orientated?

Don't worry about it... I've tried to manually correct it and send the picture and it just ruins it for the receiver. Even though it looks fncked up it is actually perfectly fine. Get over it, the person that matters (the receiver) sees it just fine and you already knew what it looked like.
...it drove me nuts for a few weeks, but, whatever...it's fine. Just remember to tell yourself that the other person sees it normal.

Thanks.
Didn't realize the receiver gets it correctly.
I put an inquiry into Handcent the other day.
Funny it works correctly in the native message app.
Would appear to be a Handcent compatibility issue.

Hmm I receive them rotated. I am wondering what I can do to fix this as well.

new to the forum and I just wanted to add my issue. I posted an ad on Craiglist from my E4GT and the image was rotated when posted. So i tried to rotate the image and see what happens. Image was still rotated in the post even after clearing cache/cookies. wondering if there is a fix
steve

I was having the issue as posted, in addition to MMS messages Hanging forever, and never get sent.
I since made the SE4GT native Message app the default, and messages are being sent correctly regarding >
1) picture not getting rotated
2) MMS messages being sent without delay
Don't know if it's a Handcent Bug, or a user setting issue.
Nevertheless, the native app is working properly, even though I'd like to use Handcent, as I have on my Evo 4G.

I had to stop using handcent because of this and I have used it for almost 2 years straight. But the stock messanger is cool in landscape mode. Toss in Honey Glow v3 with that themed stock messanger and your not even worries about handcent ( well I do miss being able to send higher quality 1.2mb pica for sure )

I have the inverse issue with Handcent. I have a Galaxy S2 running CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) and the stock messaging app rotates pictures taken in portrait mode by 90 degrees. I have found that Handcent correctly displays/sends the image (on my end and for the recipient).

Same issue with Go SMS
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

The problem is within the camera app and camera hardware. I suggest you use an application like vignette or pudding camera. They use different coding i guess? that allows the picture to taken in the orientation you take them. I will assume you must have auto rotate on for them to know though. Before this, all my pictures would be sent sideways.

Disable FullScreen Keyboard (NO ROOT)

Hi,
I would like to suggest to our moderators or to our app developers if they can tweak the Xperia Keyboard or Google Keyboard to disable the fullscreen feature whenever you are on landscape mode (like playing games, watching movies etc.).
The reason for this request is the fullscreen mode on landscape is quite annoying since it covers the entire screen.
Actually, I found a good solution for this but by using an Xposed module. However, I don't want to root my phone since I just bought it a month ago. I hope someone can help me do this without the need of rooting the phone. Command via ADB shell will do as well if there's a certain command for that.
I'm using Huawei P10 VTR-L29C636B162
Thanks!

Hi,
I don't have anything issue like that with Gboard. Can you post a screenshot for better understanding, what you exactly mean?
And we also need your phone model and firmware version.
I'm on VTR-L29C432B162.

As per your screenshot and with the attached image below, you will see that our keyboard on landscape mode covers the entire screen and this is not helpful when playing games, (like mobile legends). But, if our keyboard has an option to disable fullscreen on landscape, the background will still be visible.
The image that I have attached is screengrabbed from Playstore from the Xposed App/Module called 'Disable Fullscreen Keyboard'. It only mean that this can be done if our phone is rooted. But, my request is if we can also do this even our phone is not rooted and no need to install Xposed app or modules.
I hope our mods can modify Google Keyboard, Swift Keyboard, Swype Keyboard, Xperia Keyboard(ported) disabling the fullscreen feature of the keyboards.
I hope I made it clear.

Up. I hope someone can fix this.

yeah this feature is so annoying,full screen in landscape mode were disabled when i was on kitkat. now its back again on gboard 2017 for nougat and beyond. at least on certain apps or games only

It would be interesting if it's even possible with root...this is so annoying. I switched from iOS and thought Android is a bit further but after more than a year on Huawei I have to say, that many things are far behind a jailbroken iOS.

It is available rooted by the looks as bauer said above.
It drives me mad too. If I'm watching Netflix or something and someone messages I have to guess and hope that what I've written is correct or I have to go back out, write message, go back in, find the movie and start again, quite annoying.
Had email back again saying I should be getting my BL unlock code soon so hopefully this app still works.

This is possible with xposed module called "Disable Fullscreen Keyboard". But Xposed requires Root. So far no way doing this without root access.

[US BETA 3][ZSL5] Official Android 10/UI 2 BETA for the US unlocked Note 10+ (N975U)

READ THE OP FIRST BEFORE POSTING!!
This thread is for discussing bugs, issues, work around, and suggestions for the beta for the US models. Please no discussion of the international models. There's already a thread for that, and I don't want to confuse bugs/fixes for the wrong model.
If you have the international model (N975F), please see @henklbr 's thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...laxy-note10-sm-n975f-official-oneui2-t3987433
Stay on topic. This thread is to discuss issues with the beta, not how to get it. There's already a couple threads for that as well. The basic step is to sign up for the beta in the Members App, or download the OTA from firmware.science. For further assistance, please see @tlbland0426 's thread at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...available-note-10-unlocked-sm-n975u1-t4002783
When posting your issues, please state what software version you're on (current one is 2ZSL5), and if you did a dirty flash, restored data, or did a complete clean install.
I know this isn't an official channel to report to Samsung, but bugs discussed here can be forwarded to Samsung in the beta app.
Please read the OP and the entire thread before posting.

Been running the beta (ZSK3) for less than 24 hours. I did officially register, and started to download the OTA through device settings, but it requires WiFi. I was at a hotel and the WiFi there was achingly slow, so I went to firmware.science so I could just download the OTA with LTE, then manually flashed it through recovery.
I performed a clean install. Factory data reset, flash OTA, then another factory data reset. Then I set it up from scratch. I didn't restore anything.
Here is my experience so far:
Pros:
1. Dark Mode - I love the native system-wide dark mode.
2. Space below keyboard - I use gestures and GBoard, and I like how now even third party keyboards are pushed up a bit, and you have the keyboard switcher and close keyboard buttons.*
3. Charge Status Toggle - Ability to turn off the charge status. (Thank you Samsung!)
4. Fingerprint Icon Toggle - Ability to turn the fingerprint reader icon on or off.*
5. Improved Biometrics - Fingerprint reader seems to work MUCH better now. Even with the last few updates on Pie, my FP reader was almost worthless. Now it's nearly flawless.
Cons/bugs:
1. Brightness Slider - No longer able to display brightness control on top in the notification shade. I use the brightness slider a lot, and it's frustrating having to fully expand the notification shade when I want to adjust it.
2. Gestures - The new gestures aren't very intuitive. I prefer the gestures from Pie. I know I can still use those, but I'm really trying to get used to this style, since it's what Google will push everyone toward anyway. This system of gestures is Google fault not Samsung's.
3. Home screen Jank - I occasionally get issues with the home screen freezing. Seems to be when I'm having issues with the gestures, particularly getting Google Assistant to activate via swipe.
4. Syncing issues - There's several Samsung apps/services that will not sync. Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet. Samsung Contacts, and a few others. Under Samsung account settings, when trying to sync them, they say "syncing" then change to "Couldn't sync." This occurs in WiFi and cellular.
5. Disney+ - Not compatible from the Play Store. I was able to install it, log in, and watch movies with a work around, so I know it works. Not sure if this is Disney's problem, or Samsung's. I know it works on other devices running Android 10, so who knows.
6. Netflix - this could've been my issue. I was in the Netflix beta program, and Netflix installed, but kept telling me to update, then telling me it wasn't compatible. I had to leave the beta, and sideload an older version from apkmirror. Working fine now.
7. WiFi issues - It connects to WiFi just fine, but some apps wouldn't load or allow me to sign in while on WiFi. See below.
8.. VUDU - It would initially force close. I deleted and sideloaded an older version that would freeze on the load screen. Updated that version through the Play Store and it wouldn't force close, but would freeze. I was on WiFi and when I turned it off VUDU loaded. (WiFi was pulling 250 Mbps down, so it wasn't the issue).
9. Hulu - When I tried to log in, it kept saying couldn't reach server. Again, was on WiFi in a restaurant pulling 250 Mbps down. But once I shut off WiFi, it signed right in.
10. Full Immersive Mode - This option is still missing in Samsung Internet and most video apps. It works just fine in YouTube and Disney+. We should have the option of using full Immersive Mode at least in the internet browser. As far as movies, make the rounded corners on the black bar less rounded.

Disney+ app workaround. See below.

Install the SAI.apk
After that has been installed open that app and then select Install APKs
Select the 3 other apk files that you downloaded then click Select (3) and it will install the working Disney+ app

You actually can put it back on top, you just need to set this.
Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

Yes no issues with that, but i cannot remember if i installed the apps before i upgraded...

One of the only real issues I'm having is with the new gestures, mainly the recent apps gesture. When using it straight from the home screen it works like 50/50 for me and sometimes causes OneUI Home to crash but using it when you have an app open it seems to work much better.
Edit: (2ZSK3 obviously). I got the OTA through the beta registration and had some issues because I had #hex installed so I did a factory reset. I did however restore everything from Samsung Cloud afterwards.

It still shows as incompatible in the Play Store for me. Go to the Play Store and look for Disney+. Below the unsintall/open buttons, tell me if you see a message in red lettering that the app is now incompatible with your device.

Yes, the recents gesture from home screen is very wonky. I had some home crashes too when I first installed and set everything up, and I actually wound up doing another factory reset to get rid of them.

I have been running the U1 firmware on my Verizon Note 10+ since the day it launched. It retains wifi calling, volte calling, and visual voicemail. The only thing missing that I've found so far is native video calling in the phone app but that wasn't a big deal to me as I never use it anyways.

How'd I miss that! Thank you!

Also found doing factory reset after installing this that whatsapp would no longer verify my number.

So today I sent several feedback reports to Samsung through the OneUI beta app. Please keep the feedback coming. In my experience with past betas, Samsung really does listen to our feedback when it's directed through the proper channels.

Besides the new animations I don't see anything really worth writing home about. It's beta so there's quite a bit of bugs. Android auto on my android 10.25 screen exhibit a buzz and audio moving from car to phone sporadically. The new gesture navigation is not as easy to use. I much prefer using Pie control (which is not 100% compatible now) for launching home, recent, and back. One handed operation to swipe diagonally up to shrink the screen. Diagonally down to bring top of the screen down. I've also seen more battery drain and on screen fingerprint isn't as accurate anymore. Beta 2 is supposed those 2 things. The one UI lock up is also being addressed.
I'm hoping beta 2 will soon be releases for US unlocked. Otherwise, I think I will switch back but dreading that as it will factory reset my device.

Beta 2 was released this morning finally. I agree this is one of the buggiest betas I've tried in the last few years. I'm the opposite of you with the fingerprint reader though. It was almost useless on Android 9. On this beta it's much faster and more accurate. Works nearly 100% of the time for me. Although it seems more sensitive to the screen being dirty.

Beta 2 has been released
I awoke to a notification that beta 2 was released. Below is the changeling from Samsung.
[ Beta Software Update )
:l S/W Version
- ZSKH
:l Bug Fix
- The screen flickers
- When returning from some app to the home screen the
background can appear to be blurred
- The status bar disappears when turning the screen off,
/vhile some app is opened
- When taking a screenshot, and opening Recent window
after that, the screenshot of recent window is captured
- Keybaord is cut at the bottom
- Keyboard can't be resized
- Two contacts app display after update
- Application that has been removed from the folder and
laced on Home Screen disappears
- After update, app shape changed to Android app shape
- AOD doesn't appear while charging
- A Noise can be heard when connecting a Bluetooth device
- Improved gestures interactions, some problems have been
axed.
:l Known Issues
- No scrolling in widget state.
- The Fingerprint icon stays on the screen after unlocking the
device.
: Disappears when unlocking with fingerprint icon displayed
)n lock screen

I took the OTA this morning and it seems to be running ok so far. The screen flickering was something I saw alot on beta 1 and that seems to be corrected. My battery life was pretty good on beta 1 also so I will have to see how this performs. Thought it was interesting it has the December security patch already.

My lack of patience and frustration with beta 1 got to me and downgraded to 9 over the weekend. However I did not deregistered for the beta just in case I want to try future betas. The one most frustrating for me was audio output going from car to phone and vice versa when using android auto. I did report it so maybe it will get addressed in beta 3.

You can also restore apps in Smart Switch if you had backed it up on Pie.
