Hidden apps feature disappeared - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Yesterday I restarted my phone. When it rebooted I noticed that some settings had changed (navigation key layout, battery icon...) and my previously hidden apps were now on my homescreen. When I tried to hide them again I discovered that I can no longer access the hidden apps screen. Does anyone know what might have caused this? And is there a way I can reactivate the hidden apps screen?
Thanks

Hidden apps does not work with drawer screen style.
check if drawer style is active.

No, it's still on standard screen style. I tried switching between the two but it didn't help.

[Q] Vanishing Widgets with JB

Hi,
Just got HTC One X today and immediately updated to JB. After installing my apps and setting it up, I noticed that certain widgets would disappear from my home screen (Nova Launcher) and from lock screen (WidgetLocker). Only certain widgets - Battery Widget Reborn, Power Toggles, Smooth Calendar. After a reboot, they show up as grey boxes and I would have to tap and setup the widget again. Also noticed that SwiftKey would no longer be set as default keyboard and I would have to disable/re-enable to be able to choose it again.
Messed around and it's the same behavior with the stock launcher but with that, they the widgets just disappear altogether.
I did a system erase and pretty much nothing installed, same behavior. I've played with every setting to see if that had an effect but no different.
Has anyone encountered this or have any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to disable lock screen weather

Hello all, I have a frustrating issue. I cannot seem to purge the weather widget from my lock screen. It's some sort of widget that auto-rotates the screen to portrait and provides a slide-out tab that displays my local weather (screenshot attached is with the tab slid out). It only started appearing recently (never had this happen before), however I don't know what triggered it. There are no lock screen system settings that allow me to enable or disable anything but the clock. I have removed every weather app from my device (even the stock app). I even froze TouchWiz (I use ADW instead) thinking that might have caused it. No dice.
So what app/widget is this and how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance.

Lock screen notification issues on Nougat

I'm having very inconsistent lock screen notifications on Nougat after the update. I'm on the stock theme with Magazine Unlock.
Update: It appears as if new notifications display on the lock screen. As soon as you unlock the screen, then re-lock it, the notifications disappear from the lock screen even if they're still active in the notification tray. This is not how lock screen notifications are supposed to work, AFAIK and as far as I remember from Marshmallow and other ROMs as well.
Global:
When device is locked: Show all notification content
If device is locked, prevent typing (...) [unchecked]
Screen lock secured with PIN, fingerprint unlock enabled
App specific (In this example, 'Slack'):
Allow notifications [checked]
Display on the lock screen [checked]
When locked: Hide notification content [checked] (tried this set both ways, no difference)
I don't see any lock screen notifications with these settings. In the case of Slack above, I have active notifications in my status bar and I don't see them on the lock screen.
I went to bed last night with nothing displaying, woke up and I saw Calendar, Gmail, etc on my lock screen. Used my phone a bit, re-locked display, turned screen on, and back to no notifications. This morning though, Tasker is now showing in my lock screen (as it should) but none of my other apps are showing on the lock screen.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
I have a similar problem.
I have just upgraded to Nougat, EVA-L09C432B360, and I have no notification on status bar on screenlock. I find it annoying. Didn't find any work around.
Once the screen is unlocked I find the notification on status bar.
I dont want to have the notification displayed as a banner but only in status bar.
It's very annoying. I didn't have this problem on Marshmallow with the VUi Material Design theme, maybe once he gets a version for EMUI 5.0 it'll start working again.
I've just upgraded to B378, but still I got no notification in status bar of the lock screen ( nor aquamail or whatsapp). It might be the applications in fault here.
I just got a brand new Honor 8 which immediately upgraded to Nougat, and this seems to be the default behaviour for lockscreen notifications on EMUI, not an issue or a bug.
Since EMUI is heavily iOS inspired, and this is the notification behaviour on iOS then they copied it. I suggest trying a different lockscreen app until Huawei changes this.
That is caused by the theme used.
Go to themes, customize, lockscreen style, and be sure that you have selected #unlock with images"
I have only magazine unlock option. This did not solve the problem.
I'm having the exact same problem on my P10 lite (it came with Nougat out-of-the-box).
Has anyone figured this out? I don't have unlock with images option either..
As mentioned earlier - EMUI does not use the standard Nougat lockscreen notification actions. Do not expect it to work like stock android. The only way around it is to do one of these two options:
1. Install a 3rd party launcher (be careful, some don't play nicely with fingerprint/pin security)
2. Install Nils Lock Screen Notification app from the Play Store. This app does exactly what you want and lets you keep the stock lock screen.
Had the same issue with Gmail notifications using an Honor 8. The solution I found was hidden in Gmail Settings.
Open Gmail settings
Click on your email account(s) under the General settings
Make sure Notifications is checked
Select Inbox sound and vibrate
Make sure Label notifications is checked
This was the missing piece for me: Make sure the Notify for every message is checked
Screenshots of Gmail Settings
Also make sure you have changed the default email app to Gmail. Settings, Apps, Settings (wheel that appears at the bottom of the screen), Default app settings, Email - Gmail.
I had the same problem before. To fix it you have to enable the magazine unlock after apply the theme.

Teclast M40 and game Dragon blaze

Hello,
I don't know if you will be able to help me because I have the impression that the factory rom has some gaps.
My Dragon Blaze game launches in the background upon startup / restart. Yet I have checked many times and no applications have an automatic launch. In addition to that, I am unable to close the app when I press the Recent key. It remains locked with the padlock. If anyone can help me that would be nice.
I added 2 photos.
Thanks you.

1. What are you using to check autostart? Is it a built in feature? It can be problematic to limit what autostarts on some Android ROMs.
2. Apps with padlock will stay in recents list, that's a feature. Try to hold/swipe from recent menu, should be possible to unlock it.
It autostarts because it is locked. You can try long-press on the app icon while in Recents and tap on Unlock or something like that.
Thank you, I have to find a solution. When I long-press on the app icon while in Recent, I scroll to the down for unlock/lock the app.
But I don't know why the app automatically auto-start and lock at the restart.

Question Top buttons in apps now broken with android 12 update

In apps i cannot click anything that appears right under the status bar, whether its the search bar, sidebar expand button or options, its all broken. Quick settings work fine though.
I rebooted my phone but that didnt fix the issue. Has anyone else experienced this?
The weirdest part is how it works on certain types of user interfaces. In settings you can click on the search icon at the top that brings up the search menu, but now the search bar that is active does not respond to any touch inputs.
Found the issue!
Energy Bar (curved edition) drawing other apps caused the problem. It worked completely fine in android 11, but it seems that android 12 just broke that app in particular. Disabling "draw over other apps" permission for it fixed it.
I hope this helps anyone having a similar problem.
