I have both At&t and Verizon Note 8 they both have SOS

Mine doesn't show up.

Update. I just flashes the entire rom again and now feature is back.

Update again. The setting is gone again.

I checked for updates and it says I am on the latest. I see SOS under Advanced Features under Dual Messenger.

Yes I have it. It was an issue with BK Disabler. Problem solved.

Same here. Just received it. Security patch as you guys told.
New call screen layout as in XZ1?
One change I see is that I don't have Bluetooth activation problems anymore. While before this update my Bluetooth suddenly disconnected and couldn't be enabled unless doing a restart, it seems that now this doesn't happen. My Bluetooth stays enabled and it can be easily enabled disabled.

Install Pixel 2 phone app and set is as default phone app from settings.
XZ1 and Pixel 2 phone apps are same.

Hello,
when I install system update 47.1.A.8.49-R4B for SONY XZP. is the root gone then?
In this update, you can go to app drawer from home screen with swipe up, and back in home screen from app drawer with swipe down. ?
Interesting, same version number came for the XZ1 anc XZ1c.
Is it actually the same software?

Nope. The difference between XZP and XZ1/C is display Flash, Treble and new Dialer.

Expanding Notifications on Lockscreen

Is anyone able to expand the notifications on the lock screen and take actions?
For example: Reply to IM or delete an e-mail.
I got the P20 a few days ago and I did not even notice whether I was able to do it or not, but it was not bothering me at all, so I would guess that this was a possibility. I read a review that mentions "finally being able to expand lockscreen notifications on Huawei EMUI" so it looks like it was an option.
After the most recent update ***-110, I am unable to expand the notifications from the lockscreen which is really annoying.
I tried disabling all types of biometric identification as well as the PIN code. Still doesn't expand.
I contacted Huawei and they told me to wipe the cache partition - which I did. It didn't help.
I then performed a factory reset and tried expanding the notification before restoring or installing anything. Still doesn't work.
Which leads me to believe that the issue comes with the recent software update.
Can someone confirm any of this?
If anyone has not updated yet and is using version **106 (I think), can you expand the notifications on your lockscreen?
Same problem here
I have a P20 Pro and I could expand my notifications on 106 firmware. Earlier today I updated to 107 and I losts the ability to expand notifications for quick reply etc. Really annoying they must change it back I constantly answer all messages from my lockscreen. It's almosts a dealbreaker for me and my usage. No way to enable it again which is really bad.
just updated to 112 (I'm in the UK) and they are broken as well.
So my hunch was correct. The out-of-the-box version 106 had the option. The subsequent updates removed it for WHATEVER reason.
Can confirm .110 has the bug Wasn't present before but will probably be fixed in the next minor
Just to confirm, expanding and replying to notifications on .106 works fine.
Have pending .110 update, I think I'll wait for a hot fix or something.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue with my P20 after installing the sw update.
But I'm wondering how even a factory reset didn't solve the issue? Shouldn't the factory setting set the phone back to .106 version?

Nope. You have to rollback if you want to revert to 106, but it seems that you can't rollback after a factory reset. I learned that the hard way after finding the rollback option and it was saying that there is nothing to rollback to.
I'll contact Huawei next week an inquire about this issue.

Thanks mate. I had to factory reset my phone and it work fine. Big thanks for response!
Having the same problem myself, really doesn't make any sense why they would disable it with a software update. One upside though is that my Google Maps finally started working okay in FHD+ mode as it was unusable on 106 but works with 107 update (in Ireland)
No issues with this on EML-L09 8.1.0 120(C782)
Don't remember having the issue on 112.

FunkyHuawei. It should roll out within the next 2 weeks.
I have the same problem with my P20 Pro since update CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C432) :crying:
So I just contacted support. Didn't have time to argue with the live support but they seemed to be tripping balls.
They told me the feature got removed or it's something with overall privacy settings. (Which isn't the case cuz I checked everything and I already told them before I have 'show notifications content' turned on.)
Also they told me the only thing available is to view notifications content - which I also told them earlier is impossible in my case.

.110 here and it does seem all notifications come in expanded by default (instead of collapsed) but I am able to take all actions like reply or like messages, reply or delete mails etc.
Recording 1080p @60fps also works.
Running stock rooted (magisk 16.4) build .110 on a black c432 l29.
Guys i have the .120 update and still can't expand any notofication from the lockscreen and even reply from It...

Update Germany CLT-L29 8.1.0.120(C432)

Hi guys,
Just received via OTA last night.
Anyone now more about this update?
The first thing i recognized is the new animation, if you leave an app and go back to home screen...
Just testing if updating of widgets is still an issue.
Some camera fixes I think.
so far...
Benny
my phone received the update few minutes ago
Received this update today as well. T-Mobile in the US.
https://imgur.com/a/Yr0zOSi
Slow-mow in 8x and 32x got rid of these snowflake-ish pixels. At least on mine with that firmware-update. Hussa! :good:
I also just received this in Ireland, noticed the new app closing animation but still haven't brought back the ability to interact with notifications on the lock screen. I'm running. 120(C432) also.
I did notice my handset was randomly rebooting on .107 so hopefully this is fixed as well.
Will update if I notice any other changes since the update.
I've just spotted this new eye icon in the top left hand corner of the camera app that seems to launch a new bar code/item/QR scanner feature powered by Amazon Assistant. Almost like Google Lens but nowhere near as good from what I can tell.
It appears to be the same thing that you can launch from swiping down from the middle of the home screen to launch the "app search" feature and the eye icon is up in the right hand corner of the screen. Really not sure how much if ever I'll use this to be honest!
Same here. Poland

A review of the Huawei Honor 10 on androipit.com mentions a view updates in Emui 8.1, apparently "HiTouch":
"(...) can be visually adapted in many ways and offers some exciting additional functions. On of them is called HiTouch and it’s an intelligent aid to identify products with the camera and to buy them directly. To use HiTouch, you have to activate the corresponding option in the settings in the Smart assistance area. The first time you use it, you’ll need to install the Amazon Assistant app."

Hi there
After updating to the 120 firmware, I noticed that Huawei finally dropped its own Emui smart unlock feature (unlock only if connected to a Bluetooth device) in favor of Googles native solution (unlock with Bluetooth, secure place, wearing detection). But after a short while, the smart unlock menu cannot be opened. If I chose it in settings, the phone asks for my pin, after entering I get a blank screen. Clearing dalvik cache, reboot etc didn't help. Restore to factory settings solved the problem for 1 day, but after that I suddenly got the same blank screen. Anyone any idea?
Edit: found a solution to the problem. Just disable secure unlock as a trusted agent under security settings, then clear app cache, enable it again as trusted agent and reboot. Working fine after that.
Anyone found a way to disable/change the new app-close animation in the settings?

You can disable all animations in developer options if that helps.

Split screen view option missing from menu

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.

I am from the Philippines using an unlocked T Mobile V60. After reading this post, I checked the update in settings and saw this too. I am not sure I want to press the button though. I'll wait for braver souls to try it first I guess.
I like it so far. Even snappier. Mic and camera controls are nice.

I just found the problem: I had all animations to 0 in developer options. They need to be on at least .5 for share and edit of screenshots.
I was unable to type using any keyboard when using Naver Whale browser. Other browsers worked fine though. I had to manually update Naver Whale browser to enable typing again. This only happened after upgrading to 12.
Hi,
i have a t-mobile v60. i checked the system update page and i can see it but the download will not work. can anyone please send me the link to download the update so i can manually flash my phone?
I just got bought a used v60 TMobile variant and I'm trying to get it unlocked for my carrier here in Canada....I tried one site and they were unable to provide an unlock code (possibly the original owner didn't pay their bill). The IMEI comes up clean here when I ran it but I may be forced to have a remote unlock from what appears to be a reputable company online. They want to flash the v600vm kdz to unlock it.
It has android 12 update ready to download but I held off because
1. I don't know if it will affect being able to get it unlocked or flash the other variant firmware
2. I wanted to wait to see if there are issues with android 12 on it.
But I'm wondering if it's at all possible the android 12 firmware is no longer locked?
Any suggestions for my particular situation?
Has anyone else had camera problems since the android 12 update. The camera settings menu has dissapeared.
Anyone get display not registering movements/taps?
I thought that this was an issue with the drawing over other apps functionality that A12 has been cracking down on (Tasker, Pixel Filter, etc.), but even disabling/removing the aforementioned apps, this still happens intermittently, which renders that phone useless randomly. No matter how many times I lock/try to unlock the phone (via fingerprint), the screen just does not register taps/swipes...
And yes, this happened from A11-A12 upgrade, and is still present after doing a factory reset on A12.
I did a FDR and I still have several bugs.

Can you be more specific? Are you in the photo or video mode for example? Have you tried deleting the cache (and/or data) of the camera app, and trying again?
EDIT: Are you using battery saver mode perhaps? I know when you are using extreme battery saver (or whatever it's called), camera app becomes real basic, and there is no settings menu.

Smart Lock notification was stuck in the settings menu, Bluetooth initial connection bug, when a folder is created to group apps and you click the plus to add + select the apps you want and click done, they are not added. These are the initial ones I've noticed. I've had a few times where I went to go back to a certain screen and it studders. Google Map when it's small cause you have to take a call or go to something else and try to click the square box won't maximize, you have to go to the app icon and select it. I do run Google bets apps. These apps didn't give me issues prior to update though.
