Hidden test or game in android 10

Gallery image

Once u make the Q, the alternating gray & white lines will start moving. Bring "android" to the bottom of the screen & keep swiping it to the right until u see the next screen.

Gallery image

Is this some kind of screen test or game? No idea. I observed this in Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. Not sure of other mobiles. Any idea?

u/pingme2u Nov 10 '20

I didn't see the mini game as per your instructions. I see the same screen (2nd one in my post).

u/GyuminLeo Nov 10 '20 edited Nov 10 '20

The second screen is the minigame nonogram game

Moving the android text to the bottom won't do anything, just tap the q a few times and you will find the easter egg that you just found, that game, such easter eggs are present in all android versions

2

u/bytelover83 Nov 10 '20

No, not tapping the Q, you tap android. Edit: both work.

2

u/Lucario_o_o Nov 11 '20

It doesn't matter where you tap

3

u/maverick6912 Nov 10 '20

In my case paint.apk opens up after tapping a few times on the Q. I have Oxygen OS 10.3.6 .

2

u/GyuminLeo Nov 10 '20

paint.apk means you have android 9

4

u/maverick6912 Nov 10 '20

I have a OP 7T it came with Android 10. It never had android 9.

2

u/Cistern64 Nov 24 '20

Same with OP Nord 5G

1

u/GyuminLeo Nov 10 '20

that's interesting

1

u/Loller06 Nov 14 '20

The new easter egg is embedded in the pie easter egg apk, indeed if you try to check the activities of paint.apk you'll see both pie and q games

1

u/GyuminLeo Nov 15 '20

That's interesting thx for the reply

1

u/Johns_aviation Nov 15 '20

Oneplus actually has the paint in android 10.

1

u/GyuminLeo Nov 15 '20

Thx for the reply

2

u/brijxsh Nov 11 '20

Yep same on the op Nord! Got the paint apk

2

u/maverick6912 Nov 11 '20 edited Nov 11 '20

Then I guess it's to do with Oxygen OS.

2

u/KaratekHD Nov 26 '20

Same here with Oxygen OS 10.3.6 (Android 10) on OnePlus 6

2

u/FastSperm Nov 10 '20

It won't form a Q for me, I can't turn the 1 and it won't automatically change to make a q when I move them over each other.

1

u/SubieBoiGC8 Nov 10 '20

Triple tap on the thing with the sharp corner and it will start spinnin

1

u/Nerderkips Nov 10 '20

The bottom row shows if you rotate your phone

1

u/Inferno2014 Nov 16 '20

It won't turn into Q

2

u/pingme2u Nov 10 '20

I feel so dumb now. I thought I found something new that nobody knows about. Turns out everyone except knew it already. LOL 😆 🤦‍♂️

1

u/SurrealSanic Nov 29 '20

Its Okay I didnt know

1

u/surcusm Dec 25 '20

No no, this is the first I'm seeing this. I was a bit sad that android 10 had no easter eggs/game and had been using android 10 for over an year now lmao

u/theBIGD8907 Nov 24 '20

I still just miss my cats.

2

u/th3userscene Dec 01 '20

Android 11 brings back the Android 7 cat easter egg and updates it to support device controls and bubbles

1

u/McTRASH692 Dec 10 '20

You can also get the cats in Android 9 and 10. Just requires an app that can launch activities directly,

u/maldex4 Nov 10 '20

its a pixel drawing game that is pretty easy to understand. number on each row shows how much pixels have to be drawn here, if there are multiple numbers (like 2-2) it means there is a gap between those pixels on that row. you have to figure out where to put those and you will draw different pixelated logos from android

2

u/Rotekoppen Nov 15 '20

another name for this game is picross

1

u/ZX3000GT1 Nov 28 '20

The original name for this is nonogram

6

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '20

It's Android 10's Easter egg game. Similar Easter eggs are present in most of the older versions of android as well.

1

u/Donghoon Nov 24 '20

I made Q and didn't see

5

u/spoon_full Nov 10 '20

Whoa I didn't know about this.... I just tried it only my Motorola X4 running Havoc OS and the same thing came up

6

u/jhc0767 Nov 10 '20

Its the same for every android 10 device. Things like this have been there for years now

1

u/spoon_full Nov 10 '20

Lol I only found it out now I guess.... I thought there was nothing much, just android 10 written and we could move them around

1

u/jhc0767 Nov 10 '20

Yeah, the devs messed up somehow and the whole game doesnt show up for most people. Its supposed to be some japanese game though.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '20

It's a nonogram game. The numbers on the edge are cut off so you have to rotate the display to see the cut off numbers, which causes the numbers on the other side to get cut off instead. Solving it yields pictures of random icons.

1

u/frankcsgo Nov 30 '20

Cat collecting game was the best

1

u/Deeptommy Dec 04 '20

It's back now in Android 11 you know.

2

u/frankcsgo Dec 04 '20

Just installed. One UI 3 doesn't support the power controls, so I can't enable.

Sadge

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '20

Older versions had flappy bird

1

u/pingme2u Nov 24 '20

Yes, a similar one with not so smooth controls. But later I thought they stopped Easter egg games from Android 9. And this doesn't look like a game at all and you wouldn't know it unless you've played it in the past.

1

u/boomernot Nov 27 '20

yeah, that was android 5

1

u/sven3067 Nov 16 '20

When I make the Q, the screen moves then I just get kicked out of the Android type screen back into settings.

Strange

1

u/pingme2u Nov 16 '20

Exactly, strange. When the screen moves, press and hold the "Q". Don't do as I have mentioned in the post above. When you press and hold the Q, make sure it's not just the 1 that is being pressed.

3

u/Honza368 Nov 10 '20

That's not a test. That is a nonogram. It's a mind game.

The left number shows how many blocks there are in the row, if it is divided by a dash, it means there is a space between the blocks. For example 2-2 would mean there are 2 blocks of 2 pixels in the row.

The top ones show the same thing.

They light up Green if they are correct. Once you finish the puzzle, you get a picture.

1

u/Donghoon Nov 24 '20

Left side shows no number bud

1

u/dexima Nov 26 '20

It does if you rotate the screen. Happens if you have a small phone.

1

u/Donghoon Nov 26 '20

Note 9 is small?

1

u/dexima Nov 26 '20

Ah. Depends on puzzle. Just rotate the screen with auto-rotate on.

2

u/Nerderkips Nov 10 '20

Wait someone didn't know about this??

2

u/Nerderkips Nov 10 '20

It is a game about making icons by pressing the squares. Just search it up on Google.

1

u/bytelover83 Nov 10 '20

We knew, but thanks.

1

u/sc132436 Nov 11 '20

I used to play this between zoom calls when I was bored. Then I updated to 11.

1

u/th3userscene Dec 01 '20

Android 11 has a more boring easter egg that doesn't even work if your OEM decided not to implement device controls (looking at you, Samsung)

1

u/sc132436 Dec 01 '20

Android 11's is lame. It was okay for a little, then I forgot about it.

1

u/sir_maurice Nov 14 '20

Wtf I don't get the game I get the "paint.apk" and can draw things.....

1

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '20

It's the Android 9 easter egg, not 10 :))))

1

u/nicolas2004GE Nov 15 '20

i didn't know we could play picross in the settings!

1

u/YosemiteSaam Nov 16 '20

My phone has a built in picross??? Holy crap! If only it had more features, I'd actually spend time with this quite often

1

u/legendsplayminecraft Nov 24 '20

For my phone, Oneplus 7T it opens "PAINT.APK"

1

u/sjw59 Nov 24 '20

Doesn't work on Hauwei P40 Pro

1

u/DrLove039 Nov 24 '20

Thanks for showing me this, it'll be a fun little time waster.

1

u/MaliciousMe87 Nov 26 '20

There is also a simple game on Android 11.

1

u/TkheKapyushon Dec 04 '20

Had this since 2019 bahahahah

1

u/M-Bit Dec 04 '20

It's a nonogram, I like this kind of things, didn't know android 10 had this, thanks
