Hi all
I have my new 925 and could do with some help!
How do I switch off the live tile for People?
Why do I need a Nokia account?
How do I switch off the dimmed clock on the lock screen?
How do you switch off in-call notifications for messages etc.?
Can I set the default search provider (for the magnifying glass icon) to Google instead of Bing?
Any help would be great!

You dont need Nokia account... except for Nokia Mix Radio (switch to US account on Nokia web account page) if your region not supported
to turn off clock go to settings - glance
for most of your question check http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp8
Thanks.
I'll note my solutions here for others.
How do I switch off the live tile for People?
You can't. But making the tile 1x4 rather than 4x4 stops the live aspect of it.
Why do I need a Nokia account?
Unnecessary completely.
How do I switch off the dimmed clock on the lock screen?
Settings --> Glance
How do you switch off in-call notifications for messages etc.?
So far this is the biggest flaw as it can't be turned off.
Can I set the default search provider (for the magnifying glass icon) to Google instead of Bing?
Yes. Settings --> Applications --> Internet Explorer
Then Settings --> Language+Region --> Search language --> Bashkir
Hit the search button, login to your Google account
Reboot
Set language back to English
Hello
I'm seeking to get notifications (such as gmail subject, or a new sms) on my lock screen.
So I installed HeadsUp Notification which is said to be compatible with Android 4.2 and lower, and I cannot activate the service in the android options.
I mean, there is a "service" option, I click on it, and I find a screen where there is only a text, and no checkbox or anything
Do you know how to activate the service? Or to get another application that may display my notifications on my lock screen? (even if it replaces my actual lockscreen).
Thanks

This thread may help you to activate the service:

I am also looking for a notifications app, see my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma.../looking-notification-app-standalone-t2925247
I will try HeadsUp Notification.
Hi
Can anyone recommend a Call Confirm app that works with the Nokia 8 / Nougat dialler? I'm looking for something that pops up a panel when you touch a tile in the dialler to confirm that you actually want to dial that number i.e. prevent mis-dials. I've used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nanabit.callconfirm&hl=en on my old phone for a couple of years but when I put it on the Nokia the panel doesn't pop up and it seems to be hidden behind the dialler. I've tried a couple of other apps from the AppStore but they seem to have the same problem of the pop-up being behind the dialer.
Any info appreciated.
Cheers Andy
Edit: Having revisited this it seems that the Nokia / Nougat dialler puts up a full screen panel when you tap a tile and the Call Confirm box is between this panel and the tile panel. With Marshmallow the CC box just appeared over the tiles.
Hi again; updating on my post above. I have now updated to Oreo and Call Confirm by Vlad Lee seems to work as it should.
Hey i noticed we can not expand the notification in lock screen! I had Honor 6X before this and i used to be able to expand the notification in lockscreen. Any idea how to do it in the honor 10

Huawei disabled that feature from the last couple of updates for all devices citing privacy issues.
Do you know if there is any way of getting around that, is there any third party software that could re-enable expanding notifications on the lock screen - it's one thing I really miss having just upgraded from a Nexus 5X!

Yea i have novalauncher but it doesn't affect lock screen. i think you need lockscreen launcher but I don't want to change. Huawei should give the option in lockscreen settings
If you have face unlock enabled, go to settings - security - face unlock and disable smart lock screen notifications
Honor\huawei has indeed screwed this up. faceunlock or pin or etc is not the problem.
The problem is at lock screen, you can see a notification for whatsapp
If it is just a single message, you're fine. You can read it.
But if it is multiple messages or multi line, you can't, as it only shows amount of messages notifications, and the FIRST line of the message.
You can't expand the notification to read the rest. You end up having to unlock and go into whatsapp to read it.
*Sometimes you just want to read the messages, without ending up showing yourself last online in WhatsApp........
Ifyou have enabled face unlock and swipe to get to the launcher you can press the power button, the phone will recognize your face and then you can pull down the notifications.
Same if you want to skip a song at spotify etc.

Can't. It doesn't work.
Steps.
1. Press power button or lift phone to start face unlock
2. U can see whatsapp notifications on the lock screen, but they are grouped up. Meaning, can't expand to see contents
3. Face unlock recognizes your face. You can now able to slide to unlock
4. Still, the notifications can't be accessed or expanded to read full content

The same issue here. My wife's Honor 10 after customization completely lost lockscreen notifications and camera shortcut too. I spent long time trying to solve this in notification settings but failed- non app like default SMS, WhatsApp or Messenger displays notification on lockscreen. Do you have any advice please?

Hello. Notifications currently aren't working with custom lockscreen themes. Devs from honor said it was for higher security. I hate to say that the only way to see notifications on lockscreen is to change lockscreen theme to default, just lockscreen is enough though, you can keep other things like icons etc in whatever theme you want. I personally hate the clock being at the bottom of screen but there is no other way for notifications to show up properly atm. I also tried custom lockscreen 'launchers' but they're bugged. Hope this helps.
Tested working on Huawei View10, You can enable full message content on lock screen by going to phone settings > security & Privacy > Face Unlock > and disable "smart lock screen notification". These seem to be a bad description on Huawei part because you would think this turns off notifications on lock screen but it only limits the content on lock screen for security purposes. The only time i need to expand my messages on lock screen is when phone is sitting on desk and i don't want to lift the phone to unlock it in order to read my notification. Lock screen notification can be set for apps separately. Hope this helps.
Hello,
I don't know if this is a bug, a "feature" or just my device but would anyone be able to check their "Call & Text on other devices" Quick Panel icon to see if it toggles the feature on or off and let me know? Mine takes me to the settings. I used to have it enabled all the time on my phone and I would toggle it on the tablet as required. That way I get to enable it only when I need to use it on the tablet.
Since migrating to my S23 U from my S22 U and updating my tablet to One UI 5.1, the option now takes me to the settings page instead of simply toggling the feature. This is the case on both the phone and the tablet (S8 +) so I think it's either a bug or a "feature"
Thanks in advance
I don't have a S23u, but a S22u and tab s8 ultra...my s22u was setup with call & text with the tabs s8ultra. worked like a charm. My s22u screen broke and sent in for repairs. I used an old s9+ lying around. For some reason it asked me to change to s9+ for call & text. I ignored the pop up...when I got my s22u back call & text was disabled. When opening call & text I had to re-register/configure my s22u for call & text as it automatically changed it to my s9+, although it never worked on s9+. After changing settings it worked on s22u and tab s8u. re-register/configure call & text

Yes, the same. The icon is not activated (disabled) although the function itself is enabled. When pressed, it jumps to the Settings of this function, where Calls on other devices and Messages on other devices are now separated. In Calls, my GW5Pro watch and in Messages - empty!
Google messages has this bug that keeps any notice below sms screen flickering forever.
Looks like they modified the Quick Panel icon to take you to the settings so that you can toggle individual options i.e. call and/or text on other devices. I can see how that could be useful but I really miss the ability to simply keep the feature "on" on the phone and toggle it on/off on the tablet as required.
I would have preferred two icons one to toggle calls and one to toggle texts if they wanted to give users the option instead of the extra steps especially since it's called the Quick Panel for a reason lol
Thanks for looking guys. I really appreciate it
