With Android One phones getting 5.1 Lollipop, has anyone gotten the "on-body-detection" feature in the Smart Lock section of the Settings screen? The Google website says it's turned on only for specific devices. Any update on whether or not Android One is amongst them?

it seems not..as i have the same version of play services on my a1 and on my moto e..but my moto e is having it but not in case of a1..maybe it can be turned on from activity..may be..idk and have not even tried..
So I've spent a few hours trying to find where the Multi-Window settings are or at least how to enable it for hours! I saw that the phones as old as the M8 recieved this feature with their nougat update. Would it not be included because it's a low end device VS a flagship?
If anyone knows how to enable it natively please let me know. I know there is some way to enable it through root but would prefer it to run the way its designed to.
Thanks!!

long press an application in your recent apps list and drag it to the top of the screen. it should snap in place. then you can select another app from your recents or just tap an apps icon and that app should snap to the bottom. hope that helps
First I thought why people hate on this os, I can deal with it, I love stock android but I have also used miui in the past so color os should be fine, but thinking that was a big mistake.
It doesn't support basic android 9 pie features like swipping right to clear banner notifications, a screen on time chart (leave alone digital wellbeing), dark mode of atleast some sort (all flashy white colours, cannot even take the amoled's advantage) and many more. Even a redmi phone with android 6 or 7 with miui 10 has all android 9 features and here's color os lacking even at the basics.
And even its own features are incompliant. You can only create dual apps for select 2-3 apps, unlike in miui where you could clone any app. Also what is this thing with the call menu when you receive a call, its of 2 kinds, one in which you have to swipe up/down to take/end a call and other being you just have to click the call pick/end button. They need to show their customisation skills there, wow.
And though the phone supports L1 liscence and has a hdr capable display it still doesn't support hdr content on netflix or amazon prime. Their answer to that is an osie vision effect feature in settings>display>osie vision effect, which btw to use you have to also enable smart slidebar(in convinience aid) and then go the supported app>pull out smart slidebar and then enable osie effect. All this then only to see that it says 'not supported in current app'.
Now the main reason for my frustration being not able to download files when the phone is locked. I put anything on download, may it be a video in youtube app or a file in chrome or any download manager app, it downloads only till 1-2 mins after the phone is locked. I come after an hour or so and the download is stuck there. How can one not be frustrated then.
So conclusion is to hell with color os, just waiting for a stable custom rom(pixel experience rom for that matter).

Yeah I know few development for this os in the process. For sot I use actiondash. Substratum works mostly on stock android so no use trying them. And yes about the background downloading I tried locking the apps, turning off battery optimizations for them but didn't try turning off sleep mode, will do. Thanks.

I guess so too. Because they don't have much time to deeply modify the OS.
I'm facing a weird issue on my Realme X. After updating an app on Play Store, I don't see "app updated" confirmation on notification panel. I need to open Play store to check if the app is updated or not. My play store version is 17.8.14. All other notification working like when an update is available, when I install a new app etc. Only I don't get notification confirmation after updating an existing app.

Clear data of play store & play services, reboot and let those update itself, then update your apps. Also check for if any specific notification is disabled for play store.

This doesn't help. I know all these workarounds and tried already. I have created a post on Google Community and it seems like most people are facing this bug starting from 17.8.14 update. And after 17.9.17 update, it's even worse. There is no notification from Play Store whatsoever (no notification when an update is available, when an update is completed, when a new app is installed successfully). Google has screwed the notification function on Play Store.

Well can't say. No issues here.
Hello, I am trying to keep my 3aXL on android 9. I've tried 10, and my essential mods I want don't work on stock, and I found 10 it's self to be a buggy mess personally. I have already disabled automatic system updates in the developer options, but I also want to disable the prompts that try to pop up right under your finger at random times trying to get you to click update and have no confirm prompt. I have had to completely reflash my phone twice because the prompt just pops up randomly when i'm scrolling through an app or something. If anyone could point me in the right direction to completely disabling updates and prompts it would be a huge help.
Thanks!
Lol, Android 10 is better than 9 in pretty much every way

I know this isn't exactly the answer you want... But... If you root your phone in Android 9 it will not stop the update notifications but it will make the update fail so you will remain on Android 9 no matter what.
As far as actually stopping the notifications you have to remove update services which you cannot do without root and what services i can't say as haven't done this since like Ice cream sandwich. Also almost all custom roms disable upgrade as well.
All that said i agree with the above 10 is better in almost every way and 9 is now very outdated and insecure.

No that's very helpful thank you. I am rooted already. I have been looking around for a thread or guide on how to disable the update services but to no avail. Not sure if i'm just not looking in the right places or searching for the wrong things but if you could give me a run down on how to do so, or point me towards another thread that explains how to do it that would be great. Thanks!

What mods are you trying to use? How long ago did you try Android 10. Compatibility always seems to better with time and Android 10 has been out for 6 months now. Plus, it your mods haven't been updated to be compatible with Android 10, they aren't going to be. They also won't work with Android 11 either. How long are you going to hang on to the outdated (security updates) Android 9? At some point you are going to have to bite the bullet and move on.
As far as Android 10 being a buggy mess, I don't think anyone is going to agree with you.
Opie, I totally understand your plight. I remember I had an exploit and needed to turn off the system prompting me to update for like a year and a half before I figured out the new way of doing things on the new version of Android.
I think the app was called titanium freeze. It was many years ago.
Hi, I recently had to revert back to One UI 2.5 because I experienced a couple bugs that I can't live with. As expected, Samsung has been bugging me to update OS on daily basis, and I have about 10 days left before they're forcing the update onto me.
I read somewhere that I can use ADB app control to disable this notification. I installed it from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-adb-appcontrol-v1-5-0.4147837/
However, I can't figure out which one to disable. Could anybody please point me to the right direction? thanks!!
