Hi everyone, and thanks in advance if you can help. I need my phone to be silent during daytime meetings and at night. I've installed an app which should take care of this. However I still get sound notifications. I'm assuming it's the "interruptions" feature over riding the app as I see the star icon displayed. Is there anything I can do to stop this? It's really annoying me. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Hit the volume button one so the sounds mode dialogue pops up onto your screen. You'll see three options, All, Priority, and None. Select None.

Hello Heisenberg and thank you for getting back to me. I've seen the option you describe, but I wanted something that would work with my calendar and automatically mute during events - plus at night time and then revert back to normal. Every time the app I'm using modifies the sound profiles, the star icon appears and lets notifications through. I think I'd prefer to disable "interruptions" and use the app full time as it's far more efficient and versatile. Do you know if it's possible? Sadly, I can't find a way to make the phone work in the way I want it to - do you have any other thoughts please?

I don't understand why you need an app. I just use profiles and adjust the sound mode manually, it's easy enough.

Ah - I tried that and couldn't find a way to make it happen using my location, an app will do it all automatically during the day based on my calendar and also at night. Am I missing something here?? Forgive me if I sound dim but I'm getting very fed up having to constantly mess around with the phone settings because it seems to override the app settings. What happened to "quiet hours"??
Hi all,
In my last experience with S5 I didn't have this issue. And I think is annoying because I can't watch a video normally which means every time a whatsapp notification comes the video enters in pause mode for a while. Is there any special configuration to avoid this? Actually I'm using this app "Don't Pause!" but as I mentioned this is not a normal behavior. In the past I didn't need an extra app to handle this.
Thanks in advance.

Any idea? In addition to this concers, this happens when no headphones, just speaker
Did you get a solution? Im having the exact same problem.
Have you tried not to disturb
Yes I have tried DND mode and incredibly it still does not work. I managed to find sort of a solution. I disabled pop up notifications, so now whenever I get a messagw the phone still vibrates, but it doesnt show on screen and video isnt paused. I didnt have this problem at all on my S6, I dont know why it happens on S7 though.
Jumping notification order when notification list is open & new notification comes in
Hi
I've tried looking all over the internet for answers to this, but I'm maybe not wording the searches correctly, as I'm not really getting any answers. This is something which has been ongoing in Android for quite a while now, in multiple versions, and it's quite an annoying bug.
When you have the notification list open and a new notification comes in, it can cause the notifications to jump around / reorder / switch, potentially causing the swiping / dismissing of the wrong notification or opening of the wrong notification.
Has anyone found a fix or solution to this?
Bump? Anyone found any info about this?

Just stumbled upon this after getting fed up with this exact issue.
It only seems to happen to me when using google play music. It constantly decides its a higher priority and jumps to the top of the list. Happens on my U11 currently and on my HTC 10 before.
I don't think I ever had this issue with my Pixel XL but I could be wrong. Did you ever find a way to fix this? Going to be playing with notification power controls for google play music and see if turning off automatic will stop it from trying to be top of the list always.

It's not as bad as it used to be, but if still happens. Very annoying. I just dont understand why they cant just add new notifications to the bottom of the list every time.

For me its not even with strictly new notifications. They will decide to re-order themselves while I am trying to read a text message or type a reply. Really annoying.
Hey all,
For the life of me I can't get notifications to show up my lock screen. I have tried enabling it in settings but no dice. Even when I put down the notification bar on the lock screen it is still empty. Any help would be appreciated as this is getting a bit annoying.

If you have already anable lockscreen notification then you must check from general settings, apps and one by one check
the menu notification if you have anable lockscreen notification there too

Tyvm. Would you happen to know if there is any way to show all items that are currently in notification bar on my lock screen and not just newly received/unread items? I like to have access to my Play Music and Pocket Cast notification widgets all times.

I emailed Huawei Tech Support yesterday regarding this issue. I was prompted to call in to tech support for further assistance, and told by a service rep that this is a known software issue. Along with led notification light also, she then created a ticket for me... I asked her if there would be an update correcting the issue soon? She placed me on a brief hold then returned stating that; "eta should be about mid March!" ?
I refused to trouble shoot with her due to the phone surprisingly deciding to display notifications and notification light by itself!
After pressing lock button and viewing lockscreen again, NOTHING BUT DATE & TIME.... It's been intermittent ever since, although play music seems to efficiently control lock screen with image and track controls every time!

Why do they say it's a known issue when some, like me, do get notifications? Although, I do notice that I do not always get notifications from my news app, etc. But in whole, I am getting my Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, CNN, nottifications. You are not getting anything at all in your lockscreen?
I'm using the US version

Yes throughout the day I will see them, but they're inconsistent, and intermittent! For example just listening to a music app during one record I can power on screen... see title and artist... Power off screen.... 5 secs later, power on screen.... Noting! It's the same thing with messages, they should remain there "on lock screen" until they're are checked or acknowledged, via lock screen, home screen, or task bar!
US version as well, and it's same with led notification light!?

Did you make sure that those apps that you want to receive notifications from aren't set to sleep when the screen Locks?
Settings > Battery > Close app after screen lock

I appreciate it! After checking here all my apps are set to "don't close".
*Bump* Guys has this issue been consistently fixed with the latest updates? This was honestly my only legitimate knock on the Mate 9 software... Appreciate your input! Thanks!
You need to go to the themes app and enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings. It's the one one that will allow notifications on the lock screen.

Confirmed from my side. Enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings is mandatory to get notifications .

Definitely confirmed. I am using magazine unlock and constantly get lock screen notifications. Also yes to media controls for casting, music play etc. Huawei should make it clear in manual that only way to get lock screen notifications it to use magazine unlock.
Now go rebuy the Mate 9. It's an excellent phone ?

Guys, sorry to rehash this issue, but has anyone figured out how to ALWAYS display the notifications in the notifications tray to the lockscreen? I bought the phone again, but I'm not seeing the notifications mirrored in the unlocked phone's notification trade... Like EVERY other Android phone. Let me explain:
I get a WhatsApp message, it will show up on the lockscreen. Say I then unlock the phone, don't do ANYTHING to the WhatsApp notification. The phone locks again and this time... No notification on the lock screen, despite me not acknowledging it!
Has anyone been able to solve for me? Perhaps a other lock screen app you use maybe?
Thank you! This phone is so perfect, the software is slightly off though, but maybe you guys have this solution! ?
Same thing here, I think all you can do is wait for an update, but don't get your hopes up ...

Thank you for the input, friend. All these updates since launch, can't believe they haven't fixed something that is native across all other Android phones... I wonder if their other phones with EMUI do the same thing? Can anyone confirm?
If there really are no other options... Can you guys recommend alternative lock screen apps you may be using? I tried Flotify, but the stupid thing didn't display the Music player or YouTube casting controls on the lockscreen and the quick reply was weak... ?
Thank you!

It displays Spotify controls anyway, although a bit too big :/
Sad thing about Floatify is that the timeout of your screen is always set to 30 seconds, regardless of what you set it to in Settings - display. Until you pay for pro... Then you can change it.
I did however notice that Spotify functions without Floatify now. I'm on c432B185. I wonder if Huawei fixed it. A lot of other notifications that wouldn't display on lockscreen before works as well.

Yes Sir - YouTube casting, TuneIn Radio also work without the Flotify lockscreen, however, other notifications I have tested, Google, WhatsApp, Textra, etc... show up once, you unlock the phone, not check the notifications, come back, and it's no longer there !
I cannot believe this does not bother anyone else, other than you and I, it seems !

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with getting messenger notifications. Sometimes I just don't get them, only after half an hour. It happens when the phone screen is off and I don't use it. However other apps notifications arrive.
And sometimes I get the messenger notifications in wrong order and it's very annoying.
I tried to solve it by setting the app start to manual but it didn't help.
I hope you can help solving this.

whats your app launch settings
for me when i go to app launch and click the blue tab the choices i leave is
auto launch on
secondary launch on
run in background on
then i press ok.
Thanks
I can recommend keeping the app you've got issues with open in the recents window. Swipe them down to "lock" them which should make sure they aren't automatically closed. That fixed my issues with WhatsApp without changing any other options.
Okay
Thanks
