I believe Google disabled that feature some time ago. Anyway, for screen off hotword detection ur phone had to be plugged in to a charger, because it is (3rd party apps might provide such a feature) or was a battery hungry feature.

Thanks for your reply. Even so google could offer the possibility to choose if we really want this feature.

Yo do not want that. As Chillman explained it would eat the battery.
The processor would never go to sleep mode as it will be forced to constantly analyze incoming sounds.

Phones that have this feature have a special low power hardware module that can recognise the hotword. Running voice recognition is very battery intensive when done using software, even this phone will run out of battery pretty quickly if it was recording and analysing ambient noise 24/7.

Google maps draining my entire battery

Since about a week the battery life of my one X has become terrible. According to the battery usage screen, google maps seems to be draining all the juice. Im not actually using gm though, so something must be going on in the background.

Thanks in advance!

Just disable it
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
And how do I do that? I can close the process, but it will automatically go back on. Disabling the app itself is not something I know how to do and not really something I would like to do either.
Perhaps one other thing of importance: when I open maps (or now) it says location services are turned off, while they are not.

disable from settings app manager OR
get greenify from playstore and just greenify it
problem solved :good:
Also, where do you live at? Might be your not connected to the right sattelites for your region. You could go to play store and download faster fix and make sure your phone is reading off the right satellites.

Push notifications not working/only working on Gmail and stock apps

So I've had this issue for as long as I can remember, the issue is simple to explain, basically for example if I'd get a message on Facebook messenger or WhatsApp the notification would never come up unless I actually opened the app, I always locked the apps in the task manager but that never seemed to help, also in battery options going to advanced I disabled auto cleaning for the apps I wanted notifications from, that having no effect whatsoever I'm coming here asking for your help, I think I'm running the chinese version of EUI 5.5.013s, and I read somewhere that the notification issue is fixed in the Indian version of EUI for the x800 which I can't find. Can anyone lend a hand?

I also have the same problem. For whatsapp messages, i need to open whatsapp in order to receive messages.
I have been using this phone for almost 2 weeks now and i can honestly say it is the WORST phone i've had! bad camera, bad battery life and now late notifications.

I generally love this phone, its never lagging and stuff, its cheap and IR is good for turning off them projectors during class. The notification issue is the only one I have.

My IR remote keeps on crashing. Are you using the stock IR remote?
I dont have lag issues either.
How is your battery life?
Do you sometimes have focus issues? especially for close (1Metre) objects?

Google Assistant Issues

Can anyone else confirm whether the Google Assistant is working correctly on their device?
I can't seem to trigger 'OK/Hey Google' when the screen is off - this functionality worked flawlessly on my Galaxy S8 but only seems to work on the A70 when the screen is on.
What's also interesting is that when I try to access 'Voice Match' the sub-menu doesn't open when clicked (but isn't greyed out).
I've tried reinstalling both the Google and Assistant apps but with no success.
I really miss being able to give commands when driving!
Presumably Bixby (ugh!) still works with the screen off, so I doubt it's a limitation of the SD675 chipset?
Same here. Doesn't work when the screen is off, but works when it's on even if the device is still locked.

Thanks for confirming.
I'll flag this to Google and Samsung teams, but I feel it may be intentional...
Make sure that lock screen personal results is ON in the Google app >> settings >> Google assistant >>assistant >> your phone (in the assistant devices list at the bottom of the page). This is off by default.

Thanks for the guidance. Is your screenshot from an A70?
I don't even have that menu option available? Here's what I have, you can see how it's missing from the list.
Hmm yeah that's from my A70. I am on the beta version of the app so it might be that. Try v10.20.2.21.arm64

Thanks, I tried this but still can't get OK Google to trigger the Assistant when the screen is off. Is this not driving anyone else insane?
Have you found any solution buddy

Forcefully Enable Always on Display Mi 10T

Is there any way to forcefully enable AOD on Mi 10T? Via build.prop or tweaking MIUI itself; I just want to try this while my phone screen is off, that's all

It's a fun novelty, we should all admit.
I tried installing the Always on apk from the m10 on my 10T but nothing changed.
Then I changed my region to India (global rom) and the AOD option appeared in settings but when I applied it, nothing happened.
Always on displays are only available on OLED screens that can illuminate single pixels. LCD will never have always on displays so this thread needs closing.

LCDs are never meant to have AODs, yes, I get the whole point out of it, but My point is, there are ways that other MIUI devices, i.e., RN9Pro curtana, with a lil bit of flashing some AOD Mods thru Magisk have proven that MIUI AOD can be enabled, what I'm trying to convey is that, os there anyone here, with the knowledge and enough curiosity that could help people like me to enjoy a bit stupid but fun way of "messing around" with the android framework, that's all. You don't need to "Close" this thread.
Honestly, ain't anyone here amazed by that MIUI AOD? It consumes power because we have an LCD panel, yes, but we can turn it off anytime. It's both the novelty and satisfaction that gave birth to this stupid but curious idea.
It's not that much of a novelty, i had aod 10 years ago on several phones... It just comes to the fact that you don't really don't need that
si think this is a good idea! probably all LCD displays know aod handling. It just doesn’t allow it because of the brutal reduction in energy use!
Iomarius said:
LCD 永远不会有 AOD,是的,我明白了全部要点,但我的观点是,其他 MIUI 设备,即 RN9Pro curtana,通过 Magisk 稍微闪烁一些 AOD Mods 已经证明了可以启用 MIUI AOD,我想传达的是,这里有任何人,有知识和足够的好奇心,可以帮助像我这样的人享受有点愚蠢但有趣的方式来“玩弄”安卓框架,仅此而已。您无需“关闭”此线程。

How do i start AOD?RN9pro

General Verizon 6 pro and Android 12

First off, I Love the phone. Hardware is great, Android 12 is mostly great but there are some weird things I've noticed that haven't really been an issue on previous phones pre-Android 12. I got rid of a OnePlus 8 pro for the Pixel 6 pro.
1: I have to use a Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter (Bluetooth to auxillary input) on my car to Bluetooth to my stereo. Issue is, the adapter is ALWAYS on and when in range my phone is ALWAYS connected to that adapter. Android 12 gives you the option to quickly switch when you're playing music or watching a YouTube video in the volume slider menu but not say when you're playing a Facebook video, Instagram video or similar. The workaround has been to just completely disconnect Bluetooth which interferes with other devices like my Fitbit and such.

2: AOD doesn't come on when it's dark out. I usually get up at around 4am, and of course it's dark in my room. When it's pretty dark, not even pitch black AOD doesn't turn on. It's almost like the phone lacks a proximity sensor and relies souly on a light sensor for AOD. Another scenario was I was out with my family trick or treating tonight, in the suburbs where there was plenty of light and AOD still didn't come on when I pulled out the phone to check the time. Of course this isn't a huge issue, just an inconvenience
3: the lack of ability to set your own lock screen shortcuts. I don't use Google pay, nor do I control devices using the Google home app or shortcut.. it would be nice to set those to whatever I want. To add into that, I do have those both disabled but occasionally the Google home shortcut appears when I click the power button to turn the phone on. If I click it of and back on about 80% of the time it disappears.
I don't want anyone to take these as complaining, just thought maybe I'd chime in on some "issues" I've noticed.
