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?

I have that on but still no email notifications

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.

must have apps for unrooted ?

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!

@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner

Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui

Accessibility icon

Hello, how can I disable the accessibility icon in the button bar ?

Maybe it's impossible

Same issue here. I had it activated for something to do with FFBE on my other phone and it carried over to my OnePlus. Unfortunately, there is no option to disable or enable it, they've seemingly only added "triple tap to zoom" and hidden the icon zoom.

Sorry to hear that...it's quite annoying for me because this button use the right place of the back button of my old OP3 !
I tried the navigation gestures ans it's no no no...

Disable the android Accessibility suite. Search for it in your settings, disable the app and it should go away.

New Accessibility button on Android Pie

How many of you have tried out the new accessibility button on android pie? Once enabled, it adds a new button on the navigation bar by using which you can get access to a few shortcuts which are really awesome and much needed (See the screenshot below).
Steps to enable:
Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility menu>Enable "Use Service".
Try it, if you haven't already.

Its awesome

It is indeed. We no longer need to keep pressing the power button eveey time. It's definitely a welcome move by Google

Very good idea buuuuuuut.
Look what happens if you use a large font and display like I have to. Totally missed the point of it!!!!!

Reachability cursor alternative

After updating to android 10 reachability cursor stopped working are there any other alternatives?

Would like to know too.

I have started working on a "replacement" for personal use, perhaps someone else will find it useful. It's really barebones right now with no configuration options at all.
To get the app working, first you'll need to allow "Display over other apps" by going to: Settings -> Apps & notifications -> One Hand Cursor -> Advanced.
After that, enable the app's accessibility service by going to: Settings -> Accessibility -> One Hand Cursor service.
Once this is done, it should be possible to swipe from either the left or right lower edge of the screen to bring the tracker and cursor into the screen.
The source code can be found here.
It doesn't work very well with the new navigation gestures in Android 10.

A great app.

It works great!
I use it in addition to the Fluid Navigation Gestures app.

I just installed it on my onePlus 6t and allowed Accessibility and Display over other apps. When I open the app, it is stuck on the Home Screen, I suppose, it says "Hello World", a pink play button in the right bottom corner. Could anyone help, please!

You don't have to do anything else than enable display over apps and then accessibility and it just works.
From the sides you can swipe and point anywhere on the screen.
Opening the app is useless.

Do try and get it up on the Play Store. It's fantastic having a one handed cursor again. Thank you!

Ur a genius, using with ROG 2 (Android10-Gesture Nav)
This app made my life so much easier as I have a big phone, maybe some feedback for upgrades if ur open to hearing;
Make cursor able to do gestures like scroll through I web pages eg. (Swipe)
Also being able to access notifications menu would be good, as cursor disappears for me once it passed top area of screen.
& Maybe a colour change for trackpad thinking maybe white or grey sort of classic look.
My Workaround:
(I know it doesn't work the best with gestures Nav enabled but I think I can get the hang of it+back is to swipe L/R but when I use your app I only need tap bottom L/R of my screen to show trackpad) + (I added to my start-up menu on phone)
Many thanks for sharing :good:
I think you made a really good app man, congrats.

If you tap twice on the notifications bar, it expands notification and quick settings.

Sometimes you have to disable and enable these more than once to make it work.

I just released an alternative to that app, you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcursor
Thanks!
