Have been doing a bit more customising and almost set up properly but still a few hanging issues:

Sometimes when I unlock the phone, the brightness is set differently even though the ambience of where I am is the same, sometimes it could be dim and others bright and it doesn't really change.
Not fixed - CM7 issue
The Email app doesn't appear to be the best. It's very dark, is there any brighter theme available or maybe suggestion of another app for pop3 mail?
Not really an issue - APP Issue
I'm using GO SMS and unfortunately I'm still having an issue sending group messages, I've the option to seperate each message to each person into its own thread, sent a small group text, only to maybe 10 people yesterday and it split it into 4 separate threads, only 4 separate contacts who I sent it to as opposed to the 10, so where did the other 6 go? I couldn't check delivery status or anything.
Not Fixed -Possible App Issue, possible CM7 issue
Also with GO Dialer EX, I assume it's because I've over 1,900 contacts, but it freezes quite a lot if I'm going through my contacts/groups/adding new etc. Also you can't see the individual times of consecutive missed calls from one contact and if you have a missed call notification in the notification bar, clicking the notification used to clear the notification and bring you to the missed call screen, now it just brings you to the missed call screen but you have to go back to the notification menu to "clear" the notification, again, this didn't happen in sense and clicking to see the missed calls also cleared the notification. I also miss being able to just open up the dialer, press call on a blank field and it would call the last dialled, also with the way the call log is, I don't like that it groups the contacts together, I much prefer being able to see a log based on time only. Also by grouping the contacts together, you can't just click on a recent called contact and it will go to phone them immediately as you could with sense.
Not Fixed: App Issue, plus now discovered, if you have 2 missed calls, clear the notification and get 1 more missed call, the notification will come up again but say 3 missed calls
I miss the fact with Sense, you just clicked the clock and you got to your stopwatch/countdown timer/alarm straight away. Is there any way to get this back? Clicking the clock now brings me to a screen that isn't much use.
Fixed: App Issue - Got a separate stopwatch/countdown timer app and use stock alarm and using Go Weather widget
The included Calendar app widget has a few annoyances, you can't click a number to go straight to dialpad with from within an event, only 1 event is displayed in the widget and to go into details of that event you've to click into open the calendar first and then into the event. Again, the sense calendar app was better and you could also scroll through the events from the widget itself.
Fixed - Assigned swipe up and swipe down action to open calendar from home screen, this makes it just as quick as before to open the calendar app and gets right into the app, also I can now just click numbers and it opens the dialer, not sure what the issue was before but it's working grand now
Twitter widget is also worse than it was in sense, it only shows one tweet at a time as opposed to sense which you could again scroll down which is much handier if you're looking for say updates from AA Road Watch while stuck in traffic and you can just keep your eyes open for the AA logo on a scroll rather than clicking and clicking and clicking to see if they have any updates.
Not really an issue, I don't even use twitter that much
Calculator is too basic compared to sense one too
Fixed - Real calc
Another thing is I used to like to have "camcorder" shortcut instead of "camera" (I just feel it's better to have instant access to record something rather than photo it). You could easily then switch to camera if you want to photo something, there was no camcorder shortcut so I downloaded one, but it opens only the camcorder alone, as opposed to the same thing that you got when clicking the camera, in which you could easy switch between camera and camcorder. Any way to start that same thing, but just in camcorder mode by a shortcut?
Not really an issue, added camera and camcorder shortcut to home screens
Can someone also tell me if the CM7 "File manager" does the same as Astro? I installed Astro before realising there was a file manager there, guess there's no need for both so can I uninstall astro again? I'm only a very basic user that would be copying/pasting and installing apps via astro, so if this can all be done via file manager, I'll just get rid of Astro
Not really an issue, seems astro is better though, you can select multi select files in a folder to edit.move etc and just looks to be more options in general.

A few more issues then using Go Dev Team apps:
on froyo, I had handscent and loved the way if I got a text, the led would be a permanent blue until I read it. I checked this option in go sms too but it doesn't seem to be working at all. I tried flash on at 300ms and then off at 0, I also tried at 300/300 and it didn't seem to flash at all.
Have also noticed a bug in go sms where a different contact name could appear in someone elses text, which happened before with Handscent on froyo, was hoping it would have been fixed. I wonder is it go, or a bug with android itself that's causing this.
Hoping I can sort the above not fixed issues so any advice would be appreciated, the LED notification thing is a strange one, just doesn't seem to work at all for go sms but it may be something conflicting with the CM7 settings or stock settings? Any feedback appreciated!

Note & Thanks
Not sure what your reply means, are you on the dev team for go/cm7 or something? If so, have plenty of suggestions and bugs to report
Hello,
I am on 6.0 with my G4 and my issue is that since the mobo got replaced (= I had to build the system from zero, bootloop ftw), I cannot toggle which applications should be hidden on the lock screen, i.e. I don't want anyone to be able to read my incoming mail/sms/token etc notifications, but I want to set the facebook's messenger to 'non sensitive' so I can see what they want without unlocking the screen (like with spotify, I can fully access the notification with pause/fwd/rev etc.)
Sorry if this had been discussed before, I couldn't find a resolution for my issue.
+ before mobo replacement, it worked like that (messenger notifications were visible, sms/etc were not.)
Thank you for your guidance.
I'm really annoyed that I can't open my phone from half way out of my pocket because it has the "don't cover the top of the screen" message. The option to turn that off is missing from settings now.
I can't use my own wallpaper because even if I change it, it still forces magazine unlock.
Receiving and taking calls makes you go to the phone app to answer calls.
Standard power saving is missing from my top menu.
I don't understand what is the deal with this update. Phone is stable, but I'm missing fairly standard features and I'm getting forced to use certain things I don't want.
You can change the lockscreen wallpaper by changing the lockscreen style to another theme. After that, you can change the wallpaper (tested using pixel launcher and setting wallpaper for lockscreen).
I just tested unlocking my phone from my pocket and works fine. Covering ambient sensor with my hand also allows to unlock via FP.
You should have a heads up notification for incoming calls.
What build number are you on and what variant 7x? in the US here with 8.0.0.330 build.
Hi, am new on this group.
I've purchased Vivo V9 a month back and I like this model. But, I am facing notifications issue in my Vivo V9.
Thing is, when I got notifications on Whatsapp, G-Mail, Missed Calls, Messages etc. so all of these notifications doesn't always shows up in the locked screen/notification tray etc. I am a freelancer and it's very important for me to keeping eye on my G-Mail, UpWork App (My Work Related App), Parallel Space (Using one useful clone app on this), Skype etc. But most of the times, I don't get any notifications on the locked screen even sometimes on the notification tray. I've checked with all the settings such as each app's notifications/permissions settings, general notification settings etc. everything. Even, restored my phone for two times. But, I always missed few of my important notifications. i.e. I've setup Whatsapp to show all the notifications one the locked screen, pop-up, notification tray etc. but whenever i got message on Whatsapp, it makes sound, popup appeared, showed in notification tray but doesn't show in locked screen.
Moreover, sometimes the notifications doesn't shows up even on a notifications tray.
I wanted to know that is somebody facing this kind of issue on this model? If so, what did you do to resolve this? Or, if someone has idea of all the possible reasons for this issue?
Thanks!
I have already read a lot about the various issues concerning notifications in the status bar. However, I am as of yet still missing a discussion on notification issues with the ambient display of the MI 9 SE.
I am experiencing that MIUI standard apps (like the Xiaomi messaging app) are able to shoe notifications on the ambient display. However, all non-standard apps (like Telegram, Slack or Email apps) are not able to do so. Has anyone observed differntent behaviour? Any suggestions on workarounds for this? Anybody already tried the beta and is the notification bug of the ambient display corrected there?
I see gmail, whatsapp...(mostly because i use them alot) but I am also missing some notifications of certain apps. Try to change their android notification settings and turn evertything on, and check if that makes a difference.
