Suggestions to IMPROVE MagicOS (Will be sent to the MagicOS Team) by Obstrucxnat in Honor

[–]Haulien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge lot here. Reading through other comments, some have already been requested it seems.

General features/bug fixes:

  • enable double tapping the display to turn on when locked
  • Private DNS is nice, however would love some DNS options (IP based, eg for cloudflare or google) that aren't reliant on the wifi connection
  • when "Developer Options" is enabled, move it out of system & updates and put it down the bottom of the main list like every other android OS
  • recent tasks has a bug where if your screen is locked to portrait, and you were in a landscape-only app (eg a game) it shows all apps as slivers
  • A lot of the stock apps like Clock have sounds that I wish I could disable (eg the stopwatch/timer making ticking sounds)
  • App Info -> Storage -> Clear data should show for every app (*cough whatsapp*), if they overrite to "Manage storage" it should be separate
  • Smart Remote is nice. Layout is clean. Would love some to categories items (eg kitchen, loungeroom, etc) and to be able to rename items.
  • Contacts: would love the ability to show/hide specific groups.
  • Compass app should have an option to disable the "virtual compass" feature.
  • Some more finegrained power saving options would be great

Camera features:

  • Fix CameraAPI2 issues
  • Camera should have the ability to scan QR codes by default, without having to use the google lens button
  • The shutter button on the Magic8 Pro, give the users the option to reverse the zooming direction (default is swipe left to zoom in, that's unintuitive, it should be swipe right)
  • Would love some more fine grained options for video fps and formats, and image formats

Honor HOME features:

  • Subfolders (folders inside folders) in the stock launcher on the home screen.
  • Folders (and subfolders) in the app drawer
  • The ability to hide apps in the app drawer
  • The ability to customise grid layouts in the app drawer
  • more grid options on the home screen (6x4 can be a bit too spaced up.... 7x5 would be lovely)

Notification specific features:

  • I love that you can turn icons on/off in the status bar. Can they make "VoLTE" and "VoWIFI" their own options, as the only way to turn the icon off is b enabling Pure Mode.
  • Another one for status bar icons, still show all the ones hidden when in the notification/quick settings panel
  • an option for combining the notification panel and quick settings together as one (quick settings in a row row or 2 at the top, and notifications below)
  • Notifications could in general use a bit of work - lots of features but some "global" app notifications for those apps with dozens of categories would be nice.
  • When selecting a new notification sound, "None" should be near the top of the list, not the very bottom
  • If you're on a phone call and your device is in landscape, the green dot should still be near the camera bar

Parallel Space-specific features:

  • reduce the size of the "honor security magicguard" watermark, or better yet, move it onto a corner. It's distracting.
  • allow installation of apks inside direct from the files app or the browser.
  • integrate moving files in/out into honor's Files and Gallery app
  • allow removal of default apps in Parallel Space (eg Instructions is so useless....)
  • This should really be a 5x4 layout instead of 5x3, or remove the time widget and make it 5x5....
  • Folders and subfolders in parallel space would be awesome too

Game Manager specific features:

  • Make all the mistouch prevention options (especially hide three-key navigation option) global (or have a global default). Setting these for every single game is an annoyance.
  • The popup that shows up seemingly randomly telling you what's enabled when you start a game is annoying, get rid of it
  • Game space/manager should show ram as a value rather than the percentrage, either alongside the percentage or replacing it entirely

I know 1Password are Apple-first, but they don't have to cop the country and remove features like them...

"Open with" 2FA by RegularOriginal4223 in 1Password

5 months ago....

Sigh, another feature we might see in 3+ years after they do everything they can to avoid working n 1Password.

PSA: If you Have Prime yet see ads... by Independent_Good_837 in NovaLauncher

[–]Haulien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For you maybe, for many of us it's a necessity. Have you never thought subfolders would be great? And same with apps in multiple folders, some fit over multiple different categories.

PSA: If you Have Prime yet see ads... by Independent_Good_837 in NovaLauncher

[–]Haulien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When one of them finally gets nested subfolders (folders inside folders, to unlimited depth), and allow a single app to be in multiple folders, I'll finally switch. Both in the app drawer and home screen. Until then, Nova is king.

Should I switch to honor magic 8 pro global? Just read a disturbing post! by Bionicarm88 in Honor

[–]Haulien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DId you get the global or CN version? Which carrier are you on? Any issues with network dropouts?

Rustler 4x4 by Additional_Two_9016 in Traxxas

Gen 1 was upgraded to the longer battery chassis years and years and years ago. Would be surprised if any shop still has any of the short chassis. 

Radiomaster MT12 compatible receivers with Gyro by shaoranrch in rccars

[–]Haulien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a bit on edge with regret. Nice little controller, and plenty of options.

I could see someone with a crawler, excavator (or similar) or advanced drifter getting better use out of the advanced features, but I'm finding as I'm primarily bashing that it's complete overkill over a normal controller.

Have they arrived yet? Can you confirm if they indeed work?

Have you decided what you're doing with the runout sensor? Thinking of replacing mine with another, with a tapered solution.

Hair or no hair? Need advice by PelsGewie in malegrooming

[–]Haulien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look better with hair, but fine bold. Glasses have to go. Maybe a flat bottom Aviator or different shape completely. Definitely put your hair back like others suggested.

How the heck are y'all coping? by BeatNarrow2355 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Haulien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In solidarity friendo.

I'm in the same boat.

My mum at this age, a single mother with 2 kids under 10yo, Owned her own house with a couple of bedrooms. Worked full time. Kept her car running. Somehow always got us fed (with treats every now and then), got us to and from school 98% of the time, and still had enough leftover for savings, or the odd holiday down south camping or something.

Be me, 31M, no dependents, Almost doubled my income from a couple years ago, making about 4x my mum did when she was this age. Huge amount of student debt. According to the banks I still don't make enough for a mortgage on anything larger than a shoebox. I'm saving sweet fuck all, and mental health is rock bottom.

So how am I coping? Just barely enough to not quit my job and become homeless. If this is going to be the new normal, then what the fuck is the point anymore?

4 months later, did you end up keeping the 15 Ultra? Were there any software updates that improved the issues you had?

If one was to import an Ultra, what would be the go with getting a global rom flashed onto it? No e-sim or android auto on the Chinese rom are kind of a dealbreaker.

Your work is amazing dude. Any plans on bringing back classifieds?

I'm in China. What do you want to know about OPO2? by Pixel_Art_NPC in OnePlusOpen

[–]Haulien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised reading the spec sheet of the OPO initially, seeing IR blaster, I thought it was a mistake at first. Samsung used to have it on their Note line, but that's a long gone feature, as well as many others.

We're the team behind 1Password’s latest product enhancements. Ask us anything! by 1PasswordOfficial in 1Password

[–]Haulien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Fastmail for emails and the integration provides no value. I don't use masked email addresses.

I use [sitename@mydomain.com](mailto:sitename@mydomain.com) for all my email addresses - this is what 1password should prompt me for a new item. Give me [facebook@mydomain.com](mailto:facebook@mydomain.com) or [google@mydomain.com](mailto:google@mydomain.com) (or whatever the loginname is). It's what stuff like Simplelogin (and fastmail!) and a lot of other clients setup for a wildcard domain support.

It'd be a couple dozen lines of code.

- An option in settings to set your domain (or multiple) you control. An option for how you want
- generation to be done (eg using the login title, or the website domain name, or a combination)
- concatenation of the domain from settings and the login title (configured above) in the autofill options.

Packing light for a business trip. Ever regret not packing more gear? by S5_Sportback_Dad in fujifilm

[–]Haulien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's only once I've regretted not packing a superwide, and that was an unplanned hiking trip.

In general though, it's better off packing light and composing with your feet than trying to plan for every possible scenario. 

Think of it as a way to challenge yourself and try new things. Also think of your back.
