I accidentally discovered a "fix" for the notification panel bug. Sometimes it doesn't pull down with the finger eh? I set my smartkey to do nothing when pressed once. When the panel glitch occurs, I just press the smartkey once, and then the swipe down action will start working again.

Well it's essentially recommended to do a factory reset after upgrade.

I'm running it and i have no bugs, just do a factory reset from recovery. It's a major update so bugs like this appears sometimes if you dont do a factory reset.

The nifty tether without root hack is now patched.
In MM you pop the sim card out... Turn on tether... Pop the sim back in and presto tethering.... This worked great but 7.0 blocked it... Anyone found a work around without root

What happened to me on Nougat is when I receive like multiple consecutive WhatsApp messages, and I pull down the notifications (you know, to read the message without sending the read receipt ), I only see the last message, not the ones before, so I'm obliged to open the whole convo...
This and other little things like battery life made me roll back to MM.

is that real that on honor 8, the gyroscope stops working when you update to nougat and you have to roll back the previews update to use vr apps, pokèmon go and so on?
this can be my new device and this is the only thing that stops me becouse i use vr a lot.

I realized, when you leave huawei "Health" app installed, gyroscope is not freezing. Have you tried that?

thx for reply

MM bugs

hey guys, i've had a couple of bugs since i flashed MM, not major bugs...but still annoying
1. sometimes some of the apps lose their white background, they return to look like lollipop by themself, i have to disable and enable it again
2. message icon stay at the notification bar even after you read it, you need to open it again for it to disappear
3. finger print scanner, if it works as it should it works really fast, but sometimes it hangs to 3 seconds then it unlocks the phone ( this issue is present also on lollipop)
these are so far the bugs i encountered....is there any solutions? THANKS

No Push notification when app is not running.

Has anyone figured out the solution for notification issue on Mate 9 AL00.
Currently on: B153
Android Authority said today that an update is coming to fix that, but I haven't read that anywhere else.
They said it in the article about Mate 9 issues and how to fix them, also the touchscreen issue.

I'm on B156 too... The problem still there... We have to wait a little more.... For now you have to lock all the apps that you get notifications to recent apps...
Notification bug:
The aggressive RAM management and battery optimizations that cause the issue with third party launchers (mentioned above) also results in notifications not coming through. An update to fix this problem is rolling out now, and you should receive it shortly.

I've got the same problem with AL29 B126.
In fact if I don't receive notifications after some hours the system will close automatically the app.

Push notifications
Pushover still not working on B183. I have configured to allow notifications, priority display, etc. Its set to 'Dont Close' in the battery manager lock screen power savings section. I have it as 'Allowed' in the Exempt from battery optimization...
Has anyone got push notifications to work?

where did you get B183 Im still on B175 in my AL00 and Im able to receive notifications once I locked the apps I want to receive notifications from
I hate being that guy but for the record I have no notification issues.
I've set Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Trigger, etc. to not close on screen lock and after a month of owning it I guess EMUI's learning algorithm got a hang of how I use my device and now it never kills those processes from memory.
I did find that after not using WhatsApp for a couple of months it DID start killing it from memory so it does seem to be constantly evaluating my usage patterns.
I'm on B156.

Hallo, last night I received B182 update , install it , and now everything seems to be solved
I briefly want to describe my experience to help those who are getting crazy with that issue like us .
Got my Mate 9 one week ago and immediately get the bad experience of notification problems (Whatsapp at first, Telegram later. I'm not a Fb user) . Delay of all notifications when the phone were in stand by mode (screen off) after 10 minutes. I've tried ALL that was described in the several forums I searched to solve the issue and that you confirmed: NO WAY to get rid of that
I've noticed that when the function - "app gemella" sorry- "dual app" was on (I use two sim's and whatsapp account) the problem was really big. I tried phone hard reset, reinstall latest version of Whatsapp apk but nothing changed. Yesterday I contacted Huawei service assistance but they were only able to tell me to wait for an upgrade that fix this bug... They even didn't know when the upgrade could sort...
And magically , last night , it came the new MHA-L29C432 B182 . The phone seems to be re-born , very fast and reliable in giving all the notifications I got.. If I think that I was about to sell it...
it was working fine with me on B186 (chinese version) but after fw update to B213 gapps notification and auto sync are acting up, sometimes I got some notifications but not all the time, I re-applied all the settings as described in other forums and still issues is not fix
Update: after reapplying notifications and permissions settings to the apps I want to get notifications, deleting and adding my google accounts, lock them in my phone, complete depleting my phone battery and charge it again..my phone is back to normal again, battery last the usual 2 days under moderate/high usage, notifications and autosync working, not sure but I'm under the impression that after a major update it takes some time to the AI of the phone to get back to what it used to be or maybe I was just lucky, still Mate 9 rocks !!!

Not sure if my issue is the same but I'm losing notifications randomly. I've tried loads of things also from forums but it seems without any lasting success. However after a restart I'm keeping the notifications for the moment and they're not randomly disappearing.
Not sure if this is of any lasting help mind and that they will again start disappearing randomly.
My next step is a factory reset but what a pain that is!
I'm on B182.
Update: so far so good. I now have notifications that are 12hrs old and still visible. I'm wondering that if you make settings changes, they aren't picked up unless you do a restart!?

Auto Screen Rotation bug?

Hi
Has anybody a bug like mentioned above?
My FRD-L09 with the latest fw b131 has that bug. After rebooting it works as usual but after some time it stops rotating the Screen.
The Rotation is enabled in the Settings. Tested with many apps like google fotos, the stock foto gallery, even chrome does not auto rotate.
As is said, after a reboot it works again.
Try wiping the Cache Partition in the Recovery Mode menu. If that doesn't work then backup the data on your device and perform a hard factory reset on your device.

Is the issue gone for once as you rebooted?!
Yes, as i stated above
Good
I have the same issue, after some time the rotation is not working anymore. A restart fixes that temporary, but it is getting annoying

It has happened to me twice in 2 days. Not sure if it was camera related, but that's when I noticed it because the pics I took in landscape were rotated 90 degrees in the gallery, and nothing auto-rotates after that. So rebooting fixes it.

A hard factory reset solved the problem for me, at least I did not get this issue again since 3 days.
But I think it has something to do with "smart assistance", this is the only setting that is deactivated since I've made the reset.
So try to turn things off there and maybe I am right, if not do a hard reset (Do not forget to backup your data !!)
Have the same annoying bug on my Honor Note 8, must be something to do with Huawei's power management cause it seems to happen when battery goes below 10%. Restart seems to fix it every time
Hello,
I have the same bug on my Honor 8.
Does someone found a solution ? it's very annoying
Thanks!

You are my personal hero, PreDer!
I only deacticated all options in "smart assisstence" settings. Only Smart Key is activated. I did a partition cache wipe afterwards (no factory reset!) and now everything is working perfectly for last couple of days!

Hi, any update?
Same issue here, but today It reactivated the function by itself as it stopped working with gallery and google photo uploading.
I had anyway some movement options active in smart assistance, which I now have deactivated leaving only the smart cover option.
It is still working perfectly for me with only smart key activated in settings. No issues anymore so far...
Ok thanks, looks like mine too is working again.
Something like the error message of "Google....etc etc...impossible recording" whenever the microphone was used by an app, even taking movies. I then discovered that I had to deactivate the "Ok Google on every screen" option.
By the way, even if I wanted to wait for a massive test of the B380 upgrade, I found that my Honor 8 had downloaded automatically the upgrade, prompting me to reboot to install it, when I left it connected to my home wifi.
I can't find anyway to force it not to download system upgrades by itself, I have a very bad experience from iPad of unnecessary upgrades, is there a way to take control manually of system upgrades?
Actually I haven't seen any battery improvement after the upgrade to B380...
I have the same issue. I can confirm that the reboot fixed the problem. Will see how long befoe this bug comes back.

Rebooting fixes until smart assistance critical option forces the problem to come back. It might be a conflict with some particular app, but deactivating most of the smart options one at a time to see which one is the guilty will solve the issue.
Unfortunatly, reboot fixes the bug for me for only 5 or 6 days :/

As multiple times stated, rebooting is USELESS if you don't deactivate the smart option that fights with some of the apps!

Nougat OTA update Available 28/3/2017

Its arrived at last , and before April too ..
Can confirm, this is Nougat (7.0) with the security patch of 1st February.
I'll try to find some big differences on the settings..
Oh, and before I forget. Welcome everyone, I just got this phone yesterday. Switching from a Zenfone 2, I hope I'll get a good battery life like almost everyone, and try to participate as most as possible.
EDIT : Which topic we should use? This one or https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/p2a42s23217030row-t3580293
Gmail is 100% crashing on my side
EDIT 2 : I received a mail and it didn't crash anymore. Weird
I'm not sure I can recommend anyone upgrading to this yet....my phone has become very laggy and stuttering in different apps....it got better after I cleared the cache and a soft reset, but I guess it will be a few bug-fixes in the near future. I know that maybe a factory reset will be the solution, but I haven't got the time at the moment...
Which ROM variant were people on to get this ota update? I'm on UK three and there is no sign of it. Could be that three have to mess with the rom first, or a staggered roll out.
Build: P2a42_S056_161130_UK
Edit, ok attached screen shows s062. Rest of world.
Is there an easy safe way to swap from three to generic ROW ROM? Don't want to root or lose warranty.
Looks like after the update quickcharging has stopped working

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70965471&postcount=8 don't know if this void warranty, its factory image firmware but they will see that you phone was on three network and now have ROW firmware, ask at you mobile network provider
Will Row have different modem etc. So potentially different performance or will it be identical minus 3 bloatware. I'm always reluctant to install ROMs not available direct from manufacturer from online because of risk of malware... Is this link a trusted source?
the Update is great, after factory reset...
All looking good here and battery only dropped 4% so far with 1 hour SOT
my phone is the 3 UK version . I flashed over to S048 then upgraded to S062 . Installed TWRP and tried a few custom ROMS but went back to stock ROM to see if i could get Nougat update and I did . Havent looked to see if minor bugs are fixed yet but youtube sync seems to be fine .
The noise cancellation system is not so aggressive in loud environment
Still can't use LED notification from third party application in Nougat...
i expected Launcher, Camera app , themes support UPGRADES
they just upgraded from 6.0.1 to 7.0 , by leaving the apps as it is , its a kind of disappointment , they might have at least included a BETTER launcher,
Hope they upgrade their APPS also to next level, mainly that CAMERA
Many apps are force closing. Any ideas to fix these issues? Thanks!
There is a second launcher hidden called VIBEUI . long press on screen and you get to select wallpaper , widgets , preference or settings from the menu at bottom of screen . press preference and that takes you to homescreen settings . press default launcher and you can choose between VIBEUI or android ( stock launcher ) . Although vibeui seems very limited

I cleared the cache, and restarted the phone, after that I had no problems anymore.
the battery drain is faster than marshmallow in 6h i loose 14% usually i loose 6-7% ...
Has anyone noticed the 'nightmode' now totally sucks? In 6.0.1 it doesn't distort the colour just significantly dims screen. In 7.0 it doesn't dim at all, just changes to a sepia tone!! Why did they change that function! YouTube audio sync appears fixed and the os feels smooth and snappy.
Few annoying quirks like once quick draw is open some items don't switch on/off with single press.
DPI change option are available in Developer options...??
Yeah, I noticed. I downloaded the "Night mode for Lenovo" app from the play store, but it's kind of lame to have to rely on an app for functionality that was baked in 6.0.1.

Yeah feel annoyed as other than this functionality, everything else is either better or simply different. Oh well... EDIT found a great work around. It remembers the brightness level in two states, with auto and without auto. I will just set the brightness to lowest with auto off and then disabling auto, will give me my 'night' mode.

Update QF3 available for sprint 7/5/17

new update available. says "security , new device features " , its the android june security patch and possibly a new feature
If your using the no root hotspot it still works through update!!
It installs weird too after rebooting it restarts then the screen will black out and say "installing applications"
then it will say software is custom until the update notification at the top stops. even though it already popped up a toast that said successfully upgraded yet that still has to fill up (in the notification) then it all goes to normal seems smoother than ever
I am applying it right now, will follow up if I run across any issues.

All I know is the last update(not this one) broke my phone, My system app crashed randomly, vibration would continue to vibrate after calls were answered, very slow response and frequent random resets. Notifications would either not appear or not disappear. One time I lost all my home screen apps. The problems were so severe I decided to upgrade to the S8.
After this update my phone runs like new.... too bad I already decided to buy the new S8.... although my 'excuse' for needing it apparently has been fixed by this update, Now I just want the S8.
