settings>Apps>tap the 3dots>configure apps>special app access>Picture-in-picture> you will is the list of supported apps. I would like to use it with Netflix, youtube. but it not working.
as for split screen, I use it a lot as it is the only way right now on this phone to get youtube to play and use a next app at the same time. (because youtube will not play in the background if you just use the normal switch apps) (netfix has no split screen support) I also you the split screen when using Waze and it comes in handy with the calculator also.
as for how much you can see in split screen, if you change display size to "small" so much more fits on the screen.
the (dot) I know it's a google thing but if they going to pick and choose what to support, they could have left that one out. LOL

    Anth0ny, 03 Apr 2018It should but as I don't have a display with a USB-C input ... moreThanks for enlighten me, just updated to Android 8.0, software number 2.21.708.1, by this afternoon of sudden pop up update, 1.86GB of file size OTA download.
    Yes, now at developer mode, there is AptX, AptX HD, and even LDAC bluetooth codec to choose, may try at nearer shop or bought a AptX compatible headphone to try.
    For the USB C Display port on multiport adapter, I read somewhere that the phone will still charging even on USB PD via USB C port, just that it doesn't do QC 3.0 charging.
    I also has bought a HTC original USB C to 3.5mm adapter, around USD 11, waiting it to arrive and test my old earphone.
    I also bought many cheap USB C to Micro adapter, for charging with existing cable and QC 3.0 charger.
    For the PiP of Android 8.0, Youtube need to subcribe to Youtube Red (sorry, premium option). I test on Google Map, it works, after I press the "start" on navigate, and press the home button, a small map screen shown on the home screen (I think is the only apps that get full support on PiP).
    For video player, VLC player support it, but VLC player can have PiP feature in other Android version, tested on Android 5.0/6.0/7.0 without issue.
    Then, this PiP feature actually is nothing revolutionary, which has appeared on Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung owns implementation, and ASUS Fonepad owns floating apps, including video player, around 5 years ago. I found that it is more of a gimmicks on smartphone as the screen is small (especially the overhyped Samsung split screen feature), the benefit of multi windowed apps on small screen are very few.
    Anyway, the app icon's dot that you don't like is one of the Android 8.0 feature, not an issue of HTC.

      Anonymous, 03 Apr 2018Yes, get all these accessory, just missing the 3.5mm adapte... moreIt should but as I don't have a display with a USB-C input I can't test it. but I have used it with a adaptor that was USB-C to HDMI/USB-A/USB-C and was able to connect to my TV and use a keyboard & mouse at the same time. But it was not able the change my phone because it only supported USB PD and this phone is Quick Charge 3 or 4 (I don't remember which one) and has no USB PD support.

      Yes I see aptx in the Bluetooth codex in developer options.
      Enable your developer options and see if the Andrio 7.0 on your phone has it.

            4. Half swiping notifications now give you a timer to put that notifications on snooze
            5. Swipe up anywhere on the home screen to go to the all apps menu. Note the all apps menu icon is still on the home screen and can't be removed or repositioned.
            6. Swiping dong anywhere on the home screen no drops the notification bar and then swiping up from anywhere sends it back up.
            7. New oreo style icons
            8. Icon folders I now Clear, instead of black
            9. Comes with February 1st 2018 security patch pre-installed

                Need to ask is this model doesn't comes with type C to 3.5mm adaptor? I just get the USonic earphone, a type C USB cable, and a wall charger on my 64GB version.
                The supplied USonic earphone with noise cancelling enhancement do sound awesome though.

                    Finally the oreo OTA update is here for the USA factory unlocked version of this phone.
                    I'm typing this as its download in the background..
                    When it's done downloading, I'll power off, clear my cache partition, then restart to install it.
                    Will let you all know what i find different in it, in a few days.

                      Nekomimi, 31 Mar 2018I see~ thank you. I thought that more rom means a better ra... moreThey both have the same 4gb of the same type of RAM.
                      So slow down due to lack of free space on the ROM is only performance different you could see and ROM fee space would have to drop below 15% before you see that kind of slow down.

                            Nekomimi, 31 Mar 2018Hello, quick question. What is the advantage of having 128g... moreThe 128gb ROM model has the sapphire crystal glass back which is much harder to scratch.
                            It can still break as its glass but it not going to scratch as easy as the Corning Gorilla Glass on the 64gb ROM model.

                            That and the extra storage space, that's it. Nothing more.

                              Hello, quick question. What is the advantage of having 128gb rom instead of 64gb rom othee then “can store more files". Thanks for the educational.

                                    Knock off phones are getting harder and harder to detect by just looking at the outside. It's only the performance or when you open them for repairs then you realize it's not an original

                                        U ultra is good phone not great comparing to same range phones.touch, sound,moderm speed is good.but display is fill with faded colours.size is too much for 5'7 inch mobile.too much for pocket.some apps ara laging dual core is not even enough to manage syatem apps.there is no gallery.no 3'5 jack.sometimes internal memory not respond to pc.(i7 ,16GB ram).so my opinion is thil twice before buy this.if you looking for beauty then go for it otherwise don't.
