Notification bar bug? Lock screen notifications? 4G keeps turning off? Help pls

Hey guys!
I just bought my Huawei Mate 9 and coming from a two year old Oneplus One i can say it feels like flying, but at the same time I seem to been having some problems, I don't know if it is EMUI that works this way, but I find this next things serious problems more than annoyances.
1. First there is the notification bar, nothing wrong with it when I'm at the home screen, but when I go into an app it seems to vanish and the only way to know what's going on in my phone is to manually pull it down. Is there any solution to this? Is it a bug with EMUI 5.0?
2. Somewhat of a related problem, when I'm at my lock screen, I can never see ANY notification, the only thing I see is the time and my step counter, this is a very serious problem, I should be able to have a glimpse of my notifications at my lockscreen.
3. Finally there has been some times when I notice that my phone is loading slowly internet sites, and then I realize that the 4G option at the quick menu from the pull down notification bar has been turned off, this has happened several times, I thought it was because it could not find a LTE signal so it turned itself off, but when turning it back on it automatically goes into 4G/LTE. What's going on? Why does it turn itself off automatically?
I really need to know if this is an EMUI thing or something I can change or fix,
Thanks in advance guys.

Did you notice any problems before installing apps? First thing I'd try is turn off the step counter and any other running apps and see what happens.
The Mate 9 has some very intense power saving and you may have to play with some settings.

Some notifications dont seem to show on the lock screen. The built in email app is one of them. It makes a noise and the led pulses but the screen doesnt come on, theres no popup on the lock screen and the notification bar doesnt have any icons or anything to tell me anything. Gmail, messages and a few other work fine.

I have already disabled the power saving app closer thing, so it's not that, I will try to disable the steps counter, but I have a doubt, do I have to enable the "power on display when a notification arrives" setting so my notifications show in the lock screen?

Ok I think Ive got it. Go to settings, notification and status bar, notifications management, select the apps you want to wake the screen and show a popup notification. Click "display on lock screen". That should do it. I dont know what "banners" means but I selected it.
Ok I guess banners means the message shows on the top of the screen if the device is on.

Could it be maybe a problem with the current theme? Not even Whatsapp notifications appear on the lock screen.

It seems those settings solved the problem, but not completely, sometimes the notifications appear and sometimes they do not :/

Is it possible to respond to notifications when the screen is locked?

To get notifications systematically on the locked screen of the Huawei Mate 9 (or P9), you may only choose the "Magazine Unlock" wallpaper. Then all notifications as long as you've granted them permission and the app is full compatible with Android 7.0 will appear. I have a few apps for which no notifications appear either on lock screen or sound, though they do on my P9. I believe this is due to a necessary Android 7.0 update for the apps.

deactivate heads-up notifications from Whatsapp on S8+ ?

Seems like a constantly reoccurring topic:
Anytime I'm using my phone, watching videos or showing others things on my phone, I'll receive any incoming whatsapp message as a very indiscreet pop-up in the top section of my screen.
I've tried using the "adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0" setting that works on some phones... sadly not on the S8+.
There's an App by Jawomo called "noHeadsUp" in the playstore, however this app involves activating (and then partially bypassing) the "do not disturb" function accompanied by the statusbar notification.
Jawomo's App "Headsoff", which worked perfectly on my S6 edge, seems to not be working on Android 7.0
Anyone have a solution to this issue?
(Pop-Up notifications are, of course, turned off in whatsapp's settings)
THANKS!

Yes only way i found now is - ON the Pop-Up notifications to, only show when Phone is OFF in WhatsApp
I had NOTE 7 and we could stop the Preview in that older phone
Why we are not able to that here

This actually disables the notifications from popping up when I'm actively using my phone.. but yeah... now they pop up when my phone is locked... not sure which is worse.
Thanks though.

ive been trying to find an answer to this for over 2 weeks since getting the s8 and still had no joy , had the same issue on s7 but there was a solution to that but doesnt work on my s8.
i have emailed whatsapp developers direct and had no response from them at all.
think the only solution for now is to use a different messaging app and delete whatsapp.

If they didn't remove system ui tuner, we could then stop it. I hate the damn crap always popping up in my face. People seem to talk more when I'm trying to watch youtube and cover the damn video.

There a free app called noheadsup that works for me. Install app and use single app setting scroll down to WhatsApp and you can disable the popup notification in there. I still get vibration alert when I get a msg.

Does it work to go to the Apps manager in the phone's Settings, and turn off Notifications for WhatsApp?

if you turn off notifications for whatsapp then you dont get any sort of notification at all, i still need the sound or vibrate just not the big banner across the top with all my message contents on view for anyone looking at my phone to read.

It's called "peek" now and if Samsung left the system ui tuner in, then we could disable just the peek/heads-up.

This is what I did to make it work.
Installed noheadsup
Open app and go to the in app settings (basic settings)
In the first box "disable all" make sure this is not activated
In the second box "disable single" activate this and press settings.
This will load all you apps in a list.
Scroll down to WhatsApp and select it
In this next menu make sure that allow notifications and show silently are both on. Set the "on lock screen" to not show notifications
Go back... And turn on vibration and sound alerts.
For me, the sound alerts don't work but the phone does vibrate and there are no popups. S8+

For that we do not need this App for it to show Silently
we can just go in the WhatsApp settings and
Turn on Show silently
But if the PAID version works with sound i would Pay

Doesn't work for me neither

Same here.
It disables popup, but there is no sound then..

After update i do not get mesg Previews anymore

Tiles
I have successfully disabled heads up notifications for my s8+. Get the Tiles apk by rascarlo from the Playstore, grant adb privilege, enable the head up tile, booom, goodbye intrusive heads up notifications.

Not working here.
Nothing is working.
Only thing that is working is to mute the notifications all together per app... so no sound or vibration. This is really a very bad thing. I hate it.

1. Activate show notifications silently in settings.
2. Download an app called lightflow and set up notifications for WhatsApp.
3. Now you won't get popups, only sound and vibration.

Using this worked for me, no headsup notification but there's still sound and vibration. I think this is the best method because it modifies a system setting instead of needing an app to run in the background all the time (how Lightflow works).

Open Messenger, tap on your profile picture (top right), scroll down to chat heads and switch it off. I also find them annoying.

Notifications on lock screen - how to unhide content?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to set the phone to show me notification content while screen is locked?
It is super frustrating that it shows me the title of the app and just says "content hidden", especially for music apps when I want to skip a track etc or reply to a Whatsapp without unlocking the screen.
I checked in the notification settings for each app and it set to display but still doesn't show when locked.

It already says "display all notifications".
The notification is visible but the content inside is hidden..like the media controls and messages.
I'll try turning off the notifications and enable again and see what happens.

It's face unlock. Someone else had a similar question a while back.. Face unlock hides notifications unless it detects your face.. You need to turn it off and leave it off.. There's also another setting in face unlock called smart lockscreen notifications.. That needs to be off as well..

Thanks for that, it fixed it.
Damn face unlock was so fast and useful.

Where can I activate notification display *and* having Faceunlock on?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------
Oh and since you guys seem to know your phone, just bought a mate 10 pro, i got another question for you is there a way to change the icons to a pack from PlayStore or stock android without installing a launcher?
I ask because emui puts this white background on google apps and lower the icon stock image. Really dont like it and the Desinge app only changes the color and doesnt remove background.

Fix
It's caused by the smart Lock screen notifications under face unlock. You can keep face unlock on, just turn off that smart setting and it should work.

Hey, thx for this useful answer. But I still do have a question about Notification Content when I am listening to music. Im not able to skip a song during playing e.g. spotify. Where can I change this settings? My previous phone offered me the option to allow content or some content and hide notification like whats App, Messages etc.
Do I have to change the settings may in spotify itself? Thx for hepling

I'm not sure that's what you do... But then again I have a Huawei so it could be slightly different. You actually go Security & Privacy > Face Unlock > *Switch off Smart lock screen notifications*

Question AOD notifications

Sorry, me again!
I'm working on the notifications, and how to get them coming through, I'm on MIUI 14 now. I've got the always on display set to 'on' and to show notifications. But they don't seem to be showing for some reason.

Probably not very useful for your case but on MIUI13 I have no problems with AOD notifications. everything appears there.
Have you enabled all the apps in Settings>Notifications and Control Centre>Lock Screen ?
I think they are connected with the AOD ones...

I popped out for a bit this morning, and Strangly, I had a missed call, and text notification waiting for me. Seems to take a bit of getting used to the notifications on this, some apps only notify when I open them, even if they're set to lock screen.

MIUI Battery optimizations...
You need to disable this for every app you need consistent notifications. Hold your finger on the app icon and then select App Info. Then scroll down until you see " Battery Saver" Change it to " No Restrictions" for all the apps you need. Also from that page, you can enable the Autostart option
