The default browser has a blue tint by default and I thought this is some problem with the screen. Searched forums and found a lot of owners complaining the same. I installed Dolphin browser and there was no blue tint.
Finally found that the blue tint is because of power saving feature. This cannot be controlled from the Settings -- Display instead there is a separate Brightness and Colours option available in the default browser!!
Launch default browser
Menu (scroll down to see more options) -- Brightness and Colours
Select Default (Default browser background colour) -- Ok
The blue tint is now gone
A browser restart will reset these changes. To make these changes permanent:
Settings -- Power Saving
Background Colour (uncheck)

I understand but mine doesn't have a Brightness & Colors setting which, as I see, others have encountered. Therefore I went to change the browser to Opera or Dolphin, or Chrome, but see no way, thought I have followed instructions, to change one of those to my default browser. Seems they all have the necessary settings greyed out. I feel like a rat trapped in a maze and it is making me see why iPhone users like the more intuitive nature of that device. Any help, short of telling me switch phones would be appreciated. I was a programmer for 25 years. I feel like an idiot with this.
No "Brightness & Colors"

Got same issue and only control over brightness.
If anybody has suggestion on how to fix this annoyance I would appriciate it (if a fix is available).
Also, is there a fix for making the browser use the system brightness instead of it's own setting? It's quote annoying to have the blue tint but even more so annoying when the brightness is like always wrong (ie. not same value as system setitngs).
EDIT: Well, the browser might not have it, but going to the system Settings -> Power Saving -> Background Colour and unchecking the tick-box did fix the stupid browser tint issue.
Thanks.

Now i have 2.2, i really want to make the most of it
some things i cannot find?
- still no notifications of new sms/mms when streak is off. Streakled only flashes the icons on the right and then it's all black again. This is
the biggest problem off them all. I still cannot understand why this important one is not solved yet.
Possible solution : your streak has to be rooted...install ledstreak...some extra notes thanks to Bizzach
A couple of items on your first point.... I use Streak LED and it works perfectly for me, so that you're notified when SMS's come thru.
If you're rooted, you need to turn off notifications in Superuser Permissions. Then the Streak LED light will stay on after they come on for a second. Also, if you're using Handcent as your messaging client, uncheck the box in settings for 'disable screen on' (or something to that effect).
It's so nice being able to just glance at the phone with the screen off and tell if you have a message waiting that you didn't hear. And yes, I agree, this is the biggest thing that Dell missed putting nativly into the Streak.
more info: you still cannot see your missed calls, just your missed sms/mms.
- i want differend wallpapers in differend screens, love to scroll trough my sexy wife pics on every screen
Possible solution : but still not perfect : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824010
- on 1.6 i had a shortcut to view a red and green bar on top of the screen to view the processor working..cannot find it anymore now?
I downloaded SeePU from the market..it give 2 small bars in the top bar so you can see your network and cpu usage.
- i like as many icons on my screens as possible..launcher pro gives me 5 vertically but the spacing between the icons horizontally is way to much (landscape mode)..can i change it?
Solution : works with launcher pro plus
- the minimum brightness is still to bright to brows at night in bed..anyone an idea how to get it even darker?
possible solution but not ideal : adjbrightness ..but it has no widget to change it fast.
- in 1.6 i had perfect backgrounds, in 2.2 they all are croped and horrible resolution?
possible solution : wallstreak but still i have a grey vertical small band between the differend screen pages when scrolling.
- To many connections issue in stock webbrowser and others.
Fixed : latest update from dell
- google maps has problems showing the map..map on screen freezes.
No solutions yet ...maybe have to wait for updateUpdate : i deleted the last update and now ik works perfect again.
- My dell streak is getting really slow
Solution : install systempanel..so you can stop apps that are eating up resources. it also has a widget you can put on your desktop that kills all the background or
active running apps. You have to exclude some apps in systempanel itself so they don't stop working after you hit stop all...like any alarm apps or dedicated apps that have to be running all the time. So hit the kill all icon and it is all running smooth again.
- wifi is less strong in 2.2 then in 1.6.
No solution yet..maybe someone knows how to tweak this
- No dedicated fm radio app.
- still no dedicated dock for just charging.
- voice dialing crashes all the time
- can't lock orientation to portrait, even with other launchers
- temperature settings on screen seem to be set all skewed... after being in pocket, have to wait for screen to cool before I can slide or pattern unlock phone
- voice features don't work properly for google search or Swype if there is ANY noise nearby, even in near total quiet. seems Dell broke the voice function.
- swype behaves extremely poorly. very not impressed with its function. normally swype performs so much better. I will attribute this to Dell as they've done something to the functionality of the touch screen.
Possibel workaround : I'm running slide-it and it's running perfectly
- seemingly no ability to assign different notification sounds to the varied TYPES of notifications (i.e. SMS, Email, Gmail). they all have to use the same sound.
Solution thanks Rodjordan :can't you set them within each app. I changed the settings in gmail & handcent individually.
-No toggle app works fully for 3g. I always have to turn it on in the settings and after turned on, I can kill 3g for a few seconds with a toggle app, but it will come up by itself again.
- no exchange connection
solution : delete default policy on exchange, synch, create default policy again.
- i miss the icon in the top bar that shows when i'm toggle gps on and off.
- anyone know how to switch between keyboards? Settings just allows modifications to both keyboards; no way to select one.
Thanks to msgnyc :longpress into any textfield and choose input method. Choose your desired input method
- always going in portrait mode after working in landscape and viewing video on stock videoplayer of youtubeplayer?
please share your solutions I will update when i find them.

The tuneIn radio app just streams radio, like so many others...the streak has a fm radio module inside so it has to work without streaming. Or am i wrong
Nope, you´re right. With Android 2.1 and root there was an Streak-fm-radio-app on modaco which worked fine for me. It doesn´t work on 1.6 and I don´t know how about 2.2.

Ahh, i got you. Didnt even know the Streak had a built in FM module
I just took the dive and installed the stock 2.2 ROM. I'm not going back to 1.6 but this thing has some issues:
- Anyone know where I can get the numeric battery level?
- *#*#307#*#* fails with something about "PASSPORT on SD" error.
- I was hoping this ROM would fix my Parrot CK3300 pairing issue but it did not.
- anyone know how to switch between keyboards? Settings just allows modifications to both keyboards; no way to select one.
- In 1.6 there was a setting to keep the backlight on when plugged in. Can't find it here.
- I don't necessarily want my favorites in alphabetical order. Anyone know how to reorder the contacts in the contacts stage UI widget?

Notifications doesnt show up on lockscreen & online games doesnt connect to servers
I dont know if it is just me but I am not getting any notifications on the lockscreen. I did look into the notification settings for each app. No notifications show up even after enabling lockscreen notifications. This is a huge issue and is really annoying because as such there aren't any notification icons in the status bar. Thanks in advance
Edit: (Another issue is that most online games does not connect to their servers at all. PUBG, Dragonball Heroes.) My mistake guys. It was my router's problem, not the phones. Sorry!
Have you enabled lock screen notification for each app, which is different from system wide option?
For the online games, I don't have the problem. You might had tinkered with a wrong option. Kindly check them all one by one.

Thanks but I figured out the online games issue. It is a problem with my new router. Had to change its settings. Totally unrelated to the phone.
About the notifications, I did enable them individually but it didnt change anything. The lockscreen is empty all the time. I have to pull the notification shade down to see any updates.
PS: This is my first time using MIUI. The settings are kinda confusing

I also bought the f1, I've had rmn 3 pro / 5 pro ad MI 5s plus. All of them where pure miui and I'm sorry to say this but the f1 has a poco launcher and I haven't tried other launchers yet but the f1 doesn't show icons on top notification bar. It's supposed to be like that which is annoying as hell!

It depends from the theme you are using. Some of them has that feature some doesn't.

Notifications are not showing up in screen lock of POCO F1
I read all the blogs to fix this issue but a simple action made my notifications to pop up on my lock screen. Initially, when the phone gets manufactured, the software would have set some default value(ON/OFF) but the real value will be set for particular action only when the user explicitly sets it so, just try following steps which may solve your problem(Solved for me).
> Go to settings
> Go to Notifications and status bar
> you will be able to see a toggle button of "Show on lock screen". Just make it as disabled and then enable it.
> then on the same screen select App notification.
> select any app for which you want to show up the notifications on lock screen.

For me, it started working fine only by disabling and enabling the toggle button of "Show on lock screen" and I have selected POCO F1 default theme which is a standard MI theme of POCO.
Nope, I am still not able to enable notifications on my lock screen in my new poco f1
I just updated to the new miui 12. The official update as my phone is not rooted.
Now I got the same problem, there are absolutely no notifications on the lockscreen. Why? Anybody else has the same problem?
Before you ask me, yes, of course I have enabled the notifications at the settings
Hi everyone,
I came across this new app showcased by YouTuber, Mrwhosetheboss in his recent video called Power Shade and oh boy has it revamped my whole notification shade!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3zyFC0pc9I&t=3s
I figured you guys would love it too and decided to share.
Link to App: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/treydev-inc/
I don't know why it's not on the Play Store, I emailed the developer complimenting and asking why it's not on the Play Store, will post back here when I get a response.
I came across this Google Sans font in the app itself and it looks amazing on my notification shade, would anyone know how to get the Google Sans font for my whole device?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Power Shade is truly AMAZING app for Android (No Root Needed)
https://youtu.be/uhIRuamiKoo
Powershade is Amazing! Funny how you got Android Sans also. We think alike. I emailed the dev also as it was in the Play Store and has only just recently been removed..no response though. The issue is however that a lot of the quick setting toggles you will notice dont work or take you straight to settings, eg Hotspot and the accessory permission will revert from time to time. Apart from that it gives the mate 20 pro a beautiful refresh from that horrid emui
Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from
That’s usually an indication to me that the accessibility service has been disabled. It frequently disables for some reason, I sorta fixed that by turning offf all the battery optimisation etc for the app. Both ways through battery settings and special app permissions OTE=TeeKay35;78482099]Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from[/QUOTE]
I just found it on the play store again
Once I give the app Accessibility permissions, I get an "1" as in an "unread notification" permanently stuck in my status bar. If I revoke the permission the notification goes away, but the app doesn't work any longer.
Does anyone know how to make that "1" go away ?
I tried this app but ended up uninstalling it. It's an interesting idea but I noticed that it negatively impacted the performance of my phone. Scrolling within several apps (including Google Play) was less smooth when this app was running as an accessibility service and returned to normal after this app was no longer running.
I also didn't like that it created an overlay not just over the notification shade but also over the system tray. I think the default Huawei system tray with dark theme enabled looks way better than the one this app creates.
I use the 4 button navigation tray option (the 4th button pulls down notifications as an alternative to swiping from the top of the screen) + the built in option to hide the display notch.
Using these options the notification pull down was smooth from the top of the screen but when using the navigation button instead there was a flash of white on either side of the notch every time notifications were pulled down.
Problem with this app was i started getting poor battery life out of my phone since the installation of this app. Avoid it
I have no battery problems with this app.
my phone it´s normal since i installed this app.
When making an app a device administrator there is often a performance hit or other problems like battery drain. I definitely noticed a performance hit while running this app but the results might be better for some people than I had. As a rule of thumb you want to give as few apps as possible device administrator priveledges.
Installed it, give all permission, untick from 'Launch' in Battery settings, all works flawlessly. No battery drop because of using it, no performance drop & power shade all the time when i slide down (no more emui stock notification). This is by far the most theme changing using the restricted Emui 9. Good!
Any trouble with it causing problems with screenshot features, mine freezes on knuckle gesture and goes to screen recording from the drop quick panel.

Hello guys, thanks for sharing power shade with us!
I've got a problem with the toggles, I press on the data one to switch it on but it doesn't switch it on and I have to press and hold to activate it manually.
Anyone experiencing that?
Nice app - I used to use Material Notification Shade back in the day when I was on a Nougat ROM on my S7 Edge, it wasn't compatible with Android O though, but now I can resume using it on Android P
The dev says he's going to try to get it back on the Play Store soon so that the pro features can be unlocked.
It would be great if he can fix the screenshot issues when selecting from the drop down quick panel. It just keeps going to record screen instead, but actually freezes up. I've sent numerous emails highlighting the error.

There's already a feature like this in Android?
It's called night light. Implemented in 2016.
Open your settings -> Display -> Blue Light Filter and configure it. You have the choice of a custom schedule or Sunset to Sunrise. You can also just manually turn it on and off and change the opacity.
You can also access that menu by pulling down the notification bar and in your quick menu, there is a "Blue light filter" option with a big "B" for an icon. Tap and hold to access menu.

In developer options, the option you select (Simulate Color Space or SCS) overrides the choice in the Accessibility Menu option. I use this option a lot, especially at night. It's a two-step process.
Go to Accessibility, scroll down to Color Filter, and toggle it. You won't be able to see options, and a note that says "Overriden by Simulate Color Space" should show. It should stay mono even after wake.
Color Space only affects your perception of the phone. It does not alter the phone's perception of its surroundings. If you take a photo using SCS, it will still be a color photo when you take it.
