Again, I searched for about 30 minutes before posting this.. in both diamond and touch pro forums and all over here.. I figure this is a common issue, but still found nothing. Maybe I'm a bad searcher... (Sorry)
I get a ring sound, but no visual notification of texts or emails.
Is there anyway to make touchflo3D or something show the actual text message or email pop up when received?
I'm sure there's a small notification icon somewhere, but I can't see it... And even if I could.. I'd rather the message just pop up anyway.
Thanks-
You need to go to Start>settings>sounds & notifications>Notifications Tab>Event>Messaging: New text message> then click the "display message on screen" box.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
EDIT: Repeat same cycle for email notifications.

Oh geez... I am feeling pretty stupid now! Thanks for posting that... I probably deserved to get a "look at your f*ing manual" response.
thanks again.

okay im having a problem with that. I've done that several times and it works for several minutes then my on screen notification stops showing up and the setting is unchecked. Im not sure if its becuase i receive a txt msg while using an app or w/e but i have 2 go through that setting like 5x a day...its gettin annoying!!! any ideas??
Having same problem here. The "display on screen" box keeps becoming unchecked on its own. Does anyone have any idea/solution to this? I recently took my phone back to O2 to upgrade to the latest firmware, and it's still happening. I'm pretty sure it happened with the previous firmware as well.

I noticed that a long time ago too and don't have the solution.
But it seems to me that the option gets unchecked automatically only when you are doing some specifics things wth your device. Otherwise it remains checked and works properly.
For example having the option checked, open some of your usual applications and send yourself an sms (my carrier allows me to send myself an sms through their webpage ) and you 'll see that sms pops up with some of them and not with others.
Luckyly the most recent version of windows mobile (the one with the thick bottom bar) has a new notification method, so when you touch the taskbar, an amplified version of that taskbar rolls out, and there you 've a "message icon". You touch that icon and it drives you directly to the pOutlook app and shows you the message. That's Cool!

Is it a universal update or is it for some devices?
Does anyone have the apk please?
All i can say about current 1.5 update is CRAP..total crap.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S running Froyo 2.2. Here is the bug list.
1. Login to FB from PC and open chat. Now click on "Go Offline". Now open FB app on phone and open CHAT section. Your friend list will not load even after waiting for 30 min on a 1 mbps wifi connection.
2. CHAT UI is simply crap. Now we have 3 groupings , "Active Conversations" , "Available" and "Idle". We don't need grouping at all simply show a single list with GREEN color on right for Active(not idle) and Orange for Inactive like we have in Gtalk for Android.
Also , if we are chatting with any friend , Just make same UI change in the Single Main list to indicate it ass Active chat.
In-short, just mimic what Gtalk for Andorid app does. Keep It Simple Guys.
3. CHAT is not working and need proper testing. try this.
Login to FB from PC , start Chat. Now hit "Go Offline". next, open FB app in mobile and enter chat section, Your Chat friend list will never ever load friends. it will simply show "Loading......"
4. Sound notification for Chat is not working. I am 200% sure that i have set a tone to notify me of incoming chat.
5. When i enter FB app on Phone , give is option to auto-login to chat or not. and notify us about same.
6. if we enter chat and return to home screen, i get logged out. WTF is this ? I am supposed to be logged in chat.
7. PUSH notifications : All i can say is "WTF" !!!!!
Reason: PUSH on iPhone and BB is REAL INSTANT. And if its TRUE Push , why do we see "Refresh Interval" option in Settings section ? If its PURE PUSH , we don't need this at all. If its for those running OS < 2.2 then fine.. However , if i choose ""Refresh Interval" at xx hours and set "Notifications to Active" and ticked all below options , I am still not receiving any PUSH notifications when i am on home screen. However when i enter the app , i get it. Is this you call PUSH ?
Dear Facebook, Go and test your app before you release it to the masses.
I turned off refresh interval to none, and turned off all notifications ticks, but left "notification" ticked, and it seems to push almost instantly.
as far as checking on battery drain. that is to be determined since i tinker with roms, apps and other stuff a lot!
but so far the push part works on 2.2..
but the app is still millions of years behind the iFail. come on FB dont you know that more people are useing Android then then IOS.

a friend using HTC DESIRE and all is working at his end..which phone you use ?
I guess its problem with all Samsung users
I am useing a Samsung Captivate with a 2.2 rom installed
[ROM]Perception Build 8 (CogKernel2, Voodoo5, 1280Mhz OC/UV, tons of tweaks)
but , i do not think it worked too well last night, so it might have been a bug when it came out.
No push here (T-Mobile G2, stock with BaconBits kernel). Googling was no help, seems like a crapshoot if you get push correctly or not.
Actually push works fine on the Galaxy S, last night push wasn't working properly for me but i'm guessing that was Facebook's fault, as it wasn't working properly on my PC either. Works instantly now, but i took the advice someone said earlier about unticking etc and i'll see how that works out.
Push notifications not working on Evo running CM6.1. So frustrating!

Take a breather, man. There are some kinks but it's a step in the right direction. Just a few months ago the FB app was almost completely useless.
I don't have any problems on my DZ thankfully. Haven't used the chat extensively but everything works fine including push.
Update :
1. I get PUSH notification instantly when i am IN App else not.
2. If I am on homescreen ,and if a frnd of mine ping me for chat on FB, chat msg is received but no Sound at all

I got the same thing for the IN APP push, and not just anywhere in the app, but I had to be on the app's homescreen where the notifications bar sits. Even weirder was that the notification tone was <i>max</i> volume when it happened, like Facebook overrode the regular notification volume that everything else uses. I'm not really sure that it even qualifies as push, either, since the only way I could see if I had notifications before was to check that same screen. This was the only time I just happened to be on the screen when a notification came through.

Hi, i just started using whatsapp plus again after a couple of months and now everytime one of my contacts comes online, im getting a notification sound and a popup window, is annoying since when 3 or 4 contacts get online at the same time, obviously i get that damn sound everytime.
Is there an option im missing? just cant find it anywhere, or is it an implementation on the original Whatsapp app?

Fortunately, yes, there is such option! If you're using an android phone, go to setting->application manager->find WhatsApp in the list->under "Force stop" there should have a checkbox named "Show notifications"->uncheck it and that's it!

In whatsapp go to plus settings
2.5.1 should be disabled
And in conversation screen in plus settimgs disable status change toast
And you r done
ahhhh so THAT'S where it was... i was looking for "event notifications" or something like that, but toast doesn't ring as a sound notifiction setting, anyways i just disabled it, thank you both.
Since the Oreo update I am not able to set a notification tone for messages... I have FDR'd 3 times now... It wasn't working right away... I have done resets with restoring data and NOT restoring any data..... Whether I change it in the messaging app or in the settings drawer it shows it changes but plays the default tone still.... Or sometimes plays nothing.... Any thoughts? I have cleared cache.... To be honest it seems to be doing kind of what it wants as far as tones for messaging.... I am trying to use factory installed tones and also downloaded MP3 tones... It plays the tone just fine as I am trying to select it but doesn't play when a message comes in............
I thought I had the same problem but finally figured it out.
Under the settings/notifications menu in the messaging app, change the tone in the New messages selection.
Edit: for the record, I hate the way notifications work in this new Oreo update. For example, if I have multiple messages that I haven't read, if I exit the app without having read some, the notification goes away entirely.
Plus, the badge notification isn't working on some apps unless I have it set for push notifications, which I don't want.
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now... at least that I know of.

You are a life saver!!! I wonder why we can't change it in the Messages app anymore... Thats kind of a big flaw.... Thanks!!!!
Did you read my edit above? Any ideas?
In particular, two apps, Facebook and Words with Friends 2, I could set them (in Nougat) to not allow push notification but a badge would show up on the icon letting me know I had a new item in the app without it going to the top notification bar. I can't get it to do the same now.

I'll keep playing around with the notifications. Maybe I'll figure it out.
Honestly, I disabled game launcher. I don't even know what it's for. Maybe I'll play around with it to see. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I am going to work on getting everything setup and play around and see if I can help you out.... I think I know what you are after....

I think this is correct for the most part. Here's what I'm running into now, though. On several apps, including one for work that I need notifications for, the badges aren't even working at all, even with all apps set for all push notifications. For me, the badges are more important on some of my apps than the notifications on the bar at the top.
I hate this. Why would they change something like this? This all worked fine in Nougat.
I purchased Nova launcher prime a while back. Looks like it's time to go try that one again.
I'm having the same trouble. I have Push notifications turned on, but Facebook, Words with Friends, and the native email app won't show badge notifications.
Email shows an old number in the badge when, right after rebooting, it shows the notifications.
I'm not enjoying this update.
I would like to set different notification ringtones for gmail and sms. However, I cannot figure it out on P20. Any ideas? Thx.
You can set the individual ringtones in the settings of Gmail, Messages etc.

Ok cool, explain !?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
For example, in Messages, click the menu button (top right), then select Settings -> Notifications -> Sound. Select the sound you like.
In Gmail: click the hamburger menu (top left), then scroll all the way down and select Settings. Select your account, then click Manage Notifications. Click on Mail -> Sound. Then select the sound.
Well it's not possible on the P20 Pro
I've looked everywhere how to set different tones for SMSes, Calendar events et emails et it's just impossible. I can't understand why Huawei would block that. It's so basic. Same thing with Gmail lables: impossible to set a specific tone per label. Why?!
same on P20, it just vibrates...what the heck
I replaced the SMS app with another one that allowes to change the tone (truecallers). For the calendar I use the Huawei app for the notifications only. Now for Gmail, I haven't found the way to set a particular tone for a specific label (which I could do on my previous phone).
And I have a problem with Airbnb that doesn't allow to change the notifications tone; my P20 Pro set it to "default" which is most inconvenient.
Same issue here, it seems that Huawei removed the option to choose a specific notification sound in notification management. I can't seem to understand the reasoning behind such a decision... Hopefully they will fix that in a future update
Can't change ringtone....
Wait--- they produced the fanciest camera-phone ever, costs a ferking THOUSAND dollars, and you can't change the sound that incoming gmails / SMS's make??? (On my new P20 Pro this appears to be the case)
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
That's exactly it! It seems unbelievable. Worse... You cannot get rid of the Huawei calendar, therefore when you have Google calendar AND Huawei calendar running at the same time and that you want to add an event with the voice assistant, at the end, you have to manually tap on the calendar you want to enter the event in! No way to complete the task totally handsfree. I'm so not buying another Huawei phone the next time (even though the camera is great).
I'm really disappointed by this too, this is a huge problem! Android has had this ability for years, it makes no sense to take it away.

Have you found a solution for this? I have the same problem... Cannot change messages notification tone. But I am surprised that the internet is not blown up with this error. Might work for some???
I think I've found a good solution! The AutoNotification app lets you set the sound for any of an apps Notification Categories! I haven't completely tested it yet but so far it seems to be doing what I need.

Hi, have you got this sorted yet?
I have not long had my P20 Pro and have also found it frustrating but I have sat and played around with it and found the solution, albeit it a bit of a hassle to do!
Apologies for no doubt going over old ground here, but I need to work on the assumption that there maybe others, slightly less experienced, that may also be trying to work this out.
Ringtone first! Use a computer and Windows Media Player, to first get your desired tunes/tones onto. (Rip into Media Player using MP3 from the settings tab).
Next, unlock your P20 Pro and connect to your computer using the supplied USB cable, once connected, swipe the screen down and select the “MTP” option (file transfer). Your P20 Pro will then be recognised by your computer and will quickly show up in Media Player on the right hand side.
It’s then just a matter of dragging and dropping any content from the left side of the Media Player window into this area on the right. Once done, be sure to click “sync” above your devices name.
Then disconnect your P20 Pro from the computer, go to “Settings”, then “Sounds”, scroll up until you see “Phone ringtone”, click this, next select “Music (on storage)” at the top right, choose your desired tune by popping a dot in the adjoining circle and finally click on the tick, top right corner, to apply. Done!
Next, Email notification sounds.
I have my home screen setup so that once unlocked, I can see the “@“ icon (with Email written underneath it) in the middle bottom section of the screen, but it is this icon you will need to use, if it’s not where mine is!
Although this may seem very odd, I can assure you that it works.
You MUST use this icon “@“ to setup your email account(s) in order to then be able to set different tunes/tones for each of them.
The first time you hit the “@“ icon you will be prompted to select what type of mail account you are using etc, follow all relevant onscreen prompts to get setup.
Whichever mail account you add first will become the default sender for emails, this can only be changed once you have added an additional email account.
Once your account(s) have been successfully setup, exit back to the home screen, only so that we are starting from the same point!
Select the “@“ icon, the default sending account opens first, next, click the three dots at the bottom right labelled “More”, then select “Settings”, look under the section “ACCOUNTS” and select which account you wish to deal with, next, scroll the screen up until you see the section “NOTIFICATION SETTINGS”, from here select “Choose ringtone”, and finally, select “Music (on storage)” to find the tunes/tones that you previously added using Windows Media Player, place a dot in the corresponding circle, click the tick to the the top right of the screen to apply your selection. This technique can now be used for all other email accounts, to give you separate tunes/tones for each email account.
You can, of course, also use a third party app, such as “Zedge Ringtones” and once you have selected and downloaded your chosen tone, it will appear under your phones settings/sounds/phone ringtone or default notification sound/Sound
Hope this helps, my P20 Pro is now finally personalised to my own liking!
I think I have worked it out.
Click on setting then click on general settings.
Then click on manage notification
Under you email address you will see - Email normal: allow these notifications. Click on the writing and not on the blue slide at the end.
Under notification category a little way down you will see sound. Change your notification

Traded up from Honor 8 where I was happy as a clam regarding the notification options. I had them all just right: different ringtone for each SIM, separate notifications for my email accounts and, most importantly, different tones for SMS on each of my SIMs, plus the general notification tone for everything else. Now here I am, holding my Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS and all I get is ONE notification tone for my SMS and any other notifications.
Seriously?!

Maybe someone has found the solution? I can’t believe P20 can’t set different tone for notifications and mail. It has tons of unuseful settings, but this one was essentiall! If I knew this before, I would never ever bye Huawei P20!! It’s a disaster! (
Unfortunatelly you can't.
I try all the methods above and none works.
sad but true...
Huawei is going down because of the poor software development.
