Hello Everyone,
I've been sticking with the old 7.0 update for a while, because of an odd issue I was having with the Spotify playback notification. Basically, I just found it annoying how the volume controls kind of clipped into the album art on the 8.0 upgrade. Could anyone confirm for me whether this is still the case on 8.0? Not sure if this is an odd request, but I'd appreciate it regardless. I've been having some performance issues that I've read have been improved with the newer updates.
In case this is something that only I have noticed, it would still help me if someone would be willing to take a screenshot of Spotify running on the Oreo update.

Hey, I'm running Android 8.0 EMUI on my honor 7x right now. What's the issue, I didn't really understand from your original post. I use Spotify daily, and I've never seen any clipping that you have mentioned? Thanks.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Basically, I'm referring to the fact that the volume controls where cutting off the edge of the album art, specifically when the Spotify playback notification is collapsed.
Here's how the expanded notification looks in 7.0, pretty much the same as it did with 8.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, here's the way that the notification looks when collapsed in 7.0:
The problem is basically that in 8.0, instead of downsizing the album art like you see here, the size stays larger, but the volume controls are in the same place. This caused the volume controls to overlap the album art slightly. Like I said, I don't know if most people would consider this an issue, or if it's just a pet peeve of mine, but it's just the way I'd prefer the notification to work.
When I talked to Honor support in order to get my phone downgraded, they told me it was a glitch, and that it was up to Spotify to fix it in a future update. I was just hoping that maybe they would have done that by now, since it's been over a month since then.

the thread you linked to has just an mp3, not an app. to set it as a ringtone, copy it into the windows folder on your device memory (not sd card). you may have to reboot after this but then, it should be an option for setting as ringtone or alert
EDIT now that i think about it, you may have to convert to .wav or can use the mp3 trimmer app found on most ROMs

Haha, class! Can't wait to annoy everyone at work with this. Thanks

It doesn't work on my Blackstone
After blowing the mic I get the message my phone is not supported. When I quit the app, the volume has gone to silent. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you blowing straight into the mic? (note you must blow BEFORE tapping Ok)
Eventually I passed the mic-check, but I don't hear anything while blowing in the mic.
Tried it too when tapping my finger on the screen while blowing, but it won't work
Still the volume is switched to silent after I close the app. Tried 1 to 5, no difference.
so neither sounds when tapping? I guess there is something wrong with your volume. In my case it reverts to my previous volume when I quit...
I just briefly tried it and it worked the first time on my Blackstone.
I really don't understand.
No sound when tapping either. Installed it on internal storage and storage card, no difference.
I've played music in the background while running the app and I can still hear it when tapping the screen. Still no vuvuzela-sound though. When I quit the program, the phone switches to silent-mode.
Really strange.

So indeed there was a problem on some ROMs maybe...
Just got this device and when it sits for a while it begins plays music in the background...puts you in mind of being at a Spa...has water sounds to it. It is the same sound just looping over and over.
I have looked at every setting and options and I cannot find the sound source at all. Does not do it all the time but I cannot track where this sound comes from when device sits for a while...
Sounds crazy but anyone have this experience on new 4.4.2 device?
Do you have an alarm set?

Since you just got this device I take it you're not rooted. Otherwise you could install App Ops via xposed installer and go to Media and control what apps are using Media function of your device (Screenshot is from my Nexus 4 but its the same for the Note, I was too lazy to go get it )
Are you sure there's no alarm apps, or maybe live wallpapers? Or maybe if you side loaded an apk then maybe it could be that. I'm just pulling at straws.
Post a list of installed user apps and I'll take a look and see if anything seems out of the ordinary :good:

Thx...I am rooted and opened Xposed and loaded Apps OPS...so I need wait until sound comes back and look under Media to see if something is there?
This is a nice tool iHeart ready always pop-up in notification area when I have not used for days...wonder can this app kill that as well?

Yeah, you should see it running under media and then you can just block access.
The same applies to the other heart app you were taking about. You can also block notifications in App Ops. There's also another way to do this. Go to settings-apps, select the Heart one and press the 'show notifications button'

What I was looking for
Your design is what I was looking for exactly - too bad it doesn't work on my watch for some reason but that's ok I just wanted to say what a good design it is.
Cheers.

It works, you just have to build the watch. Press + in the upper right corner.

Thanks for the help, but I did that. I built a new watchface using the 2nd design (the one on the Right in the pics above) which leaves the bottom row free for standard widgets. Sadly, only the widgets appear but not the watch.

Sometimes it takes a bit to load the watch face,
here it is a picture of the watch face working today:
It Works
Thanks to all for the help... it turns out I needed to reset my watch which I did yesterday for a different reason and suddenly this watchface is working as expected
Really happy with it.
BTW, I was about to upgrade to the latest software but saw in the user reviews that it might break 3rd party watchfaces... did any of you upgrade yet and if so, is this watchface still working after the update?
Cheers

That's good news.
It's really lovely how Sony is still supporting this watch.

Simple to set up and works like a charm, thank you.
If you have troubles getting the watchface to load try uninstalling the Sony Smart Connect app and reinstalling it. It's the most common problem my users have and it generally fixes the issue.
So last night I installed Oreo from the official google release. https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/index.html
Today I'm struggling to hear phone calls from the actual phone (as in the other person talking on the phone). I haven't tried earbuds or anything else yet. The ringtone and notification volumes seem a little weaker than the 7.1.1 stock I was running. Everything is at Max...
Has anyone else witnessed this issue, or is losing your hearing another post-eclipse side effect?
Strange, I haven't noticed this. I took the OTA
huh....seems same if not louder to me actually.
i installed manually with the image and no sound issues
Yep I have stopped bothering to mention these because my expectations have become incredibly lower from these so called upgrades, but yes, earpiece volume in call, ringtone volume, both are lower than 7.1.2, 100% certain about that. I make a lot of phone calls so it took me only 1 minute to notice. Well done Google. Loud in call volume was one of the better things for this phone.
No OTA, full image flashed with wipe here.
check that its not trying to play sound through a connected bluetooth device, when i upgraded it was send mine through my watch had to turn off my watch and reboot then the sound went the the phone ok
I received oreo via ota, and no issues here, try reinstall the img!
Well, I guess I'm just getting old and can't hear anymore.
*Damn kids on my lawn
Oreo call volume is extremely low. Tested it alongside of my wife's pixel running N and you can really hear the difference.

so i guess

Wallpapers doesnt work
It's more laggy now.
I'm currently using the eu rom, is the image already available to download? (the global one I mean).
I got the same update for the standard global rom earlier (UK). Took about 7 min to install after the download. It’s early days, but double tap is better and the proximity sensor/call issue seems to be fixed for me.
It enabled a "super" wallpaper and reset the lock screen clock design, but everything else seems OK so far. No slowdown for me.

Nothing is wrong with the battery after the update, mate. It is just that you're using the phone more often after the update that's why.
I switched to 12.5.1 because of the battery life on this build.It is just bad.
after update 12.5.1 i get deng sound when haptic feedback on . any help my friends ?

wait, I felt like it was louder before the update.
and also the front camera in low light sucks now.
I have also noticed few issues at the control center
do you guys have the videotools box disappear? ?
Now on my youtube, it does not show the side videotools, complete gone
For me it seems to be working as before, does anyone have an extended changelog? the one from MIUI is... well... not too great.

My wireless buds sound louder at the same level of volume I used before the update. About the quality of the sound I can not say is better.....looks same to me.
It feels much smoother after the update, notifications for music bug from time to time and can't be cleared but it feels great otherwise. Haven't found any other problems.
Screen brightness is still "dimmer" until almost 80% of the slider???
I notice this in official ROMs and also with custom ROMs.
Is it a hardware "feature" or a screen driver bug?
