Notifications bug still present ?

Good morning everyone,
I'm from France. Two years ago, I bought a Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I was very happy about this device, but I had to sell it because of a bug with the notifications not coming through (Whatsapp, Facebook..) when the screen was off. I tried all the settings possible but nothing worked. Today, I'd like to buy a Huawei Mate 9, but I wonder if this bug is still there ? I did a lot of researchs about the settings we must apply before seeing notifications coming through.. like Protect the apps, Ignore battery optimization, switch power plan to "performance" etc... But people still have troubles on many Huawei devices.. I even red an article on xda about how to get rid of Doze on Huawei devices to see the notification get fully functional..
But also red many articles saying that Huawei will roll out an update at the Autumn to definitely see notifications work directly out of the box.. Is it true ? And is the fix already implemented in Emui 5.0 on the Mate 9 ?
Thanks a lot for all your answers. I'd really like to buy this device but I won't if this bug is still there...
Have a nice day !

I believe the bug you mention is due to the "feature" in EMUI which aggressively kills apps as soon as the screen is locked. In EMUI 5.0 this has now become an opt-in service. There is a list of apps, empty by default, which are killed. So the user now has far more control over this entire process. Personally I have had zero issues receiving whatsapp's or other notifications while the phone was sleeping.

Thank you very much for your answer ! That's very interresting and I'm very happy about it !
Where is this setting exactly in Emui 5.0 ?
You have 0 problem about notifications (on data as well as wi-fi ?) but, was it 100 % functional out of the box or did you have to apply some settings first ?
I'd also like to have more feedbacks before I make my final decision ! Anyways, thanks again ! That is a wonderful news !

It's part of the battery screen, app power saving tab. Worked fine out of the box for me, didn't need to change a thing.

Ok, that's great ! Thank you ! Can other Mate 9 owners confirm it ? So I think I'll go for it on Friday !

I can confirm. There is no notification bug that I have found yet.

what about notification icons on the status ar.. has that been fixed or it is still just a number

It's still a useless number.

Wtf use is a number? Where have all my notification icons gone? Is this a emui issue?

I bought the mate 9 couple of days back and I'm confirming the issue of whatsapp still present. You won't be able to know how many unread messages you have from the icon, unless you open the app or top slider. Bearing on mind I've formated the device but it was a useless trial.

That's a different issue from what OP was talking about. You're discussing the fact notifications are grouped together in a number, he was discussing whatapp messages not even arriving because the phone would kill the application. The first is still present (Although the Android Police podcast was saying it would probably be fixed soon by a software update), the second has been solved in EMUI 5.0.

That's why I'm using smart launcher 3. Bestest launcher anyways but it also shows notifications per icon, really great. And the notification number in the notification bar you can switch them off int the settings. Better even, all my phone's notifications end up on my Pebble...

Nova launcher in my opinion is the best. I've been running it on all my android devices since it was released. It also has unread notification counts on each app of your choice. It's very fast and efficient. I have a Pebble time steel, so I agree with @blackspp.

+1 for Nova launcher on all my devices (paid)!

I also confirm notification issue with mine bought in germany

Hello again everyone,
So I bought the device two days ago and I received it yesterday. In the first place, when I ran some tests, I was I little bit worried because, on data, I had my Whatsapp notification only if I opened the app.. On wi-fi, everything worked instantly. Same problem I had with my Mate 7. Worst, a friend made a Whatsapp phone call right next to me.. And the phone started ringing only 10 - 15 secondes after..
But then, fortuantely, my friend and I kept running some tests and suddenly, the terminal behavior was normal.. So... I didn't understand all of this but.. fingers crossed for now !
Thank you all !

I can confirm the delay of push notifications with Nine email. Very irregulary. Some time the notifications are very on time but sometimes the delay is max ca 4 minutes.

I confirmed the whatsapp notification bug still present.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I can also confirm the notification bug exist. I enabled all permissions and disabled all battery optimization options but am still not getting whatsapp notifications unless I open the app.
Does anyone know if switching to Nova launcher will help retrieve those notifications? Or does it only affect the display of the notifications (bubbles on icons instead of number in status bar)?

For what it's worth I've installed Nova on day 1 and have had no issues at all receiving whatsapp notifications.

Touch Lock on the new Android Wear?

I just got the update to 8.1 on my Pixel 2 XL yesterday and saw the update to Android Wear on my Huawei Watch 2 just now. It looks like I've got the new notification vibration strength setting but I can't find the "Touch lock" option anywhere. It's supposed to be in "Settings > Display" underneath the "Always-on screen" option, but I don't have it.
Anybody else having this issue since getting the upgrade? Can you guys see the "Touch lock" option?

Are you saying you got the Oreo Wear update on your HW2?
In my Watch, which has the N7176C build (the last Nougat build with August patch which already has vibration strength feature) , screen lock feature is in "Personalize" (don't know the exact translation since my Watch is set in french).

I think this was my original problem. I hadn't gone digging around for the vibration strength feature before this latest update so I just assumed it was associated with the Android Oreo update. I probably only just got the August patch and like Kianush suggested, I looked at my system versions and it's still Android OS 7.1.1 with Android Wear at 2.7.0.178645119.
Sorry for the dumb post! I guess I just got too excited about getting the update and didn't realize what I already had.

Swipe down will on the watch face to pull up the toggles... Second row first one will lock the display from touch and motion activation and will not turn back on until the power button is pressed...

9.1.0.185 P30 Update

I received this OTA update this morning. It contains camera & fingerprint optimizations as well as the July security patches , according to the changelog. The update file was over 4gb, so there must have been more changes right?

I received the same ota update, i downloaded it anyway regardless the file size.

I didn't get any update yet in UK. On which countries are you guys? I will try to use an VPN so maybe I an get it faster
Did you actually notice any of the improvements mentioned in the changelog?

It updated against my settings and will in the middle of the night, no clue how big it was or what it did, only that I know I confirmed that the settings were off every time the phone bothered me about automatic updates and yet it greeted me with a new update in the morning.
I need to either sell this phone or root it before the week is over or I will go insane.

Today I got it in baltic states. Fingerprint seems to be a little faster but I'm not sure. And phone feels smoother. For camera changing from main to telephoto transition is faster, some new options for doing video and better autofocus in my opinion. They must have done something more than just fingerprint and camera update because 4GB is pretty big update.

Got it today in Germany. Fingerprint seams much better now!

Got it today in Bulgaria .

Thanks for letting me know. Still nothing here with Fido, but if one Canadian provider started offering it, then they probably started the deployment and it shouldn't be too long now for the rest of us to get it (assuming we both have the C792 model that I have).

Unfortunately that's not necessarily the case. The P30 Pro received multiple updates in the past 30-60 days, while my P30 only received a single one (9.1.0.164). Huawei are far more active at updating the P30 Pro than the P30, and some countries are getting even fewer updates than others. So, it could take weeks, if not months for it to finally appear on our P30s..
The P30 Pro received an update with the July security patches, while my P30 never received anything. I love this phone, but I already miss the steady flow of security updates that I used to get every month with my previous Nexus phones.

same down here in the states...

I got a problems after the update.
The phone doesn't show me notifications anymore. They arrives, sounds and vibrations, but it doesn't show me any kind of notifications.
And even the power-off popup menu doesn't appear when I press off the power button.. there mus be some problems with screen layers or who knows what
Help! I don't want to reset

Try to wipe the cache partition this fixes most problems after a update....
I do this after every update and never had any problems...
This will not reset the whole phone so you will not lose any data...
Power off your device
Press and hold the power button and volume UP button until recovery mode appears
Use volume buttons to highlight ‘wipe cache partition’ and use power key to select it
Reboot the system once the process is completed

It worked!

Security patches, camera improvements (why they don't care to elaborate which one?) and fingerprint improvements shouldn't weigh more than 500-600mb.
If they made the update 4GB, which is a full ROM they obviously changed a lot of things more... why don't specify what is beyond my knowledge. Welcome to Huawei transparent communication with their customers about their products

9.1.0.185 just arrived on my C792 Canadian model, currently installing.

Could simply be that they recompiled everything with a newer toolchain or linked against newer libraries, causing image-wide changes to the files.
I still suspect tho that there are more changes than what the changelog states. Just looking at what was in updates on the P30 Pro these past two months (fingerprint reader improvements, camera improvements, etc...), some of these might possibly be in there. We are also supposed to be receiving voltage-based screen dimming at some point (versus the current PWM method).
---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------
I think the new voltage-based screen dimming is indeed there. There's a Flicker Reduction setting now under Display -> Eye Comfort. So, there might be a few more hidden changes in this update.

How can we get this update here in UK?

My wifi calling doesn't work on the sim card which datas are enabled

Always on display don't obey scheme MIUI 12, Global V12.0.1.0.QFDMIXM

Just updated to latest MIUI 12 Global V12.0.1.0.QFDMIXM.
Anyone else beside me who have problems with the always on display being on all the day round, even though it's set to be on just between different times of the day?
Worked before the upgrade. Tried setting the settings on and off a few times to see if they "stick"

Yeap it is the last update of the app that is buggy.
Just go to your apps. find the AOD app and uninstall the updates. Then it should be ok again. Just dont update it again from the settings.
Or if you want a newer version just pick one from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/?q=always-on-mode
The Last from June should be ok (one of the July is the buggy one, dont remember which)
MIUI Always-on display RELEASE-2.1.490-06231557 by Xiaomi Inc.

Update. A new version of the app just came out. Go to the settings update and try.

Wasn't aware of this, downgraded to version from June 30th and the schedule of AOD works again! Apparently not related to MIUI 12 then. Will try the new update later.
How did you learn about this? Is there an AOD MIUI updates and bugs thread somewhere?

I found it out myself...
Some miui systemapps (aod, recorder, launcher etc) are not beeing updated with the os. That is why its a different section in the settings.
If it just has been updated (only the app not the os) and you find an error its propably the new update...

has anyone found a real solution for this? except rolling back?

Nope, issue still persists for me too. Always on display have seen releases with upgrades many times since then, always with the changelog saying "fixing problems" (LOL), but this massive bug still haven't been fixed.
Really bad of xiaomi first breaking this and also not fixing it, would be discovered directly for every serious software maintainer after this long time. But a China phone is a China phone, even when it's really expensive.
Too bad the cameras are so great. For my use cases, there still haven't released any newer phones in the same price class with this versatile and good cameras. I'm probably not going back to xiaomi after the mi note 10 because of this and many other software issues, but who knows. With this rate I'll live with the mi note 10 for another five years lol

i have my AOD set to off beween 23:00 and 07:00 and also the wellbeeing on sleepmode from 02:00 to 07:00.
It appears that with the latest update the AOD turns off between 02:00 and 07:00...

Interesting. Tried updating to latest release of AOD which for me seems to be 24th of November, and played around with the timing settings again, and also for digital wellbeeing. Still can't get AOD to disable though =/ downgrade to release from last summer still restores the functionality

Schedule the miui battery saving app's standard battery saving mode, and inside the ordinary battery saver mode activate "disable always on display" works as a workaround for me. But then all the other things the battery saver does also activates during the schedule (like stop app sync and lots of other things)

After updating the AOD app got updated and i cant roll back... Ant it still is not working. AOD never shuts down...

Now on Global EEA Rom instead of Global. AOD problems persists on that regions latest official ROM ( V12.1.3.0.RFDEUXM ). The old fix from above doesn't work anymore - a more recent version of the AOD system app is included in the rom so the "upgrade" to an older upgrade compared to the old roms doesn't work anymore.
Interestingly there is also a new setting for the AOD in MIUI 12 on this rom, besides Always on and Schedule (which don't work), there is also a "on for 10 seconds after you touch your device"-setting for the AOD. But naturally, when that's activated the AOD also stays on indefinitly.
The only "fix" atm is to use the battery saver function on schedule, the battery saver disables the AOD. Unfortunately the MIUI battery saver does a few other things at the same time =(

Possible solution: for other reasons I've had the "MIUI optimizations" disabled in the OS developer settings. Activating MIUI optimizations solves both the 10 seconds setting and the scheme on V12.1.3.0.RFDEUXM

It is hidden now, yes. But you can get it back. Go into developer options, scroll down and find "Reset to default values". It has to be pressed 5-7 times I think and then "Turn on MIUI optiomisation" and "Notify about high-risk features" are revealed below.

I'm on the same boat and I really would like to crash the head of that idiot who engineered this trash phone.
Phone in the pocket and I miss all informations and NOTHING is displayed on the locked screen.
The cell phones were invented to facilitate communication but Xiaomi & Poco's idiot engineers invented the way on how to trash brand new phones!
Excuse me for the rant but I'm really angry because I'm losing communication with other people since I bought this trash toy.
The phone: it's the EU version but since latest update it says "Global version MIUI 12.0.10" and this is one of the confusing things about these misleading poor companies.
I installed the APK suggested above but nothing changed.
There is NO option in the settings about always on display even so looking online people show this setting on the MIUI 12!!!
I may not receive MMS messages anymore (I never had any problem before with other phones) since I bought this Xiaomi trash electronic toy, the wi-fi signal is weak and the is NO communication on the locked screen!!!
I tried to reach both Xiaomi and Poco in many different ways but they NEVER replayed!
Surfing on Xiaomi global and Poco forums it's a waste of time!
I found good information on the Xiaomi EU forum, some other people complained about the MMS issue, BUT I encountered a create a new login problem since the forum doesn't accept my e-mail.
There is NO way to contact anyone from the forum so I'm cut out of any support!!!
What the stupid companies are these Xiaomi & Poco!!!!!!

Beta updates thread #ColorOS 13 #OppoFindX5Pro #OppoAmbassadors

Hi guys just making this thread to keep everyone as up to date as possible on the ColorOS 13 and what to expect. I'm currently downloading the beta firmware that's been released to the Ambassador's possibly to more users outside the ambassador program so here's the current file size and change log. Any questions fire away.

After 24 hours or so later from installing the beta I have noticed a few slight issues nothing show stopping so far so here's slight run down of things I have found so far:
1. Google Wallet:
Due to this being Beta firmware you are given this error,
I have yet to test to see if contactless payment might actually still work despite the warning message but I do plan to test it anyway.
2. Brightness issue:
After installing the new Beta I noticed that when the device was booting up the screen was lovely and bright. However as soon as it gets passed the boot animation all of a sudden the screen got really dark to the point that even screenshots became dark as well note the warning image above. After some digging about in the settings menu I came across an option within the dark mode settings called "Reduce contrast in low-light conditions". After i disabled that option the screen brightness and screenshots returned to normal again.
3. The Power Menu:
With this new update the power menu has changed quite a lot when you press the power button or the power + volume up depending on your setup you will no longer see the the Emergency, Restart or Power off buttons at the top. What you will see now is a sliding option in the middle of your screen to Restart or Power off. However not sure if it related to my first point but i no longer have options for quick access to my contactless payment options. Hopefully once the official version gets released having quick access to my payment options will return
Before:​After:​

Can you check these things for me?
1. Does ColorOS 13 allow hiding lock screen pattern? It's not there in ColorOS 12 despite being a feature in stock Android since forever.
2. Go to App info of Google Drive, then Open by Default. Does it have the option to turn off 'Open supported links'? It's there in stock Android 12 but not ColorOS 12. An example is provided below.
3. When you use App drawer mode (App drawer seperate with Home screen) and long press a user-installed app icon, does it allow uninstalling, or just removing the shortcut? I can do this in OneUI and OxygenOS 10 but not in ColorOS 12.
4. In App Drawer, when pressing the three dot icon above an app, does it allow going to 'App Info' of that app? Again, I can do this in OneUI but not ColorOS 12.
(the top option is App info)
These little things have been bugging me since updating to 12, so really appreciate if you can confirm if they have fixed them in ColorOS 13

I update to for android 13 and the phone is hot in idel and the battery drain fast

I have a question about the new version. Did they change how notifications behave on the lockscreen? At the moment notifications dissapear from the lockscreen in these scenarios:
- after you unlock and lock your phone, notifications disappear
- after a while (say 5 to 30 minutes) notifications dissapear from the lockscreen after having unlocked the phone.
All oppo, realme and (since oxygen 12) oneplus phones have this behavior.
I want to know if all notifications stay on the lockscreen no matter how many times you unlock your phone or how many hours they have been sitting there.

Any update to our questions?

I have just tested this and had a Facebook Message notification, I unlocked my phone - ignored the notification, and locked my phone - it is still there!
I will wait up to an hour to see if it goes away!

Does this mean it automatically chooses the strongest? Or does it mean it automatically goes to 5G settings?

Second beta works perfect

Few days ago i sign up for the beta tester, yesterday evening i got notification for update to 13 beta.
Excited at first but after reading known issues (2nd beta) one of them is "laggy in some situation" i decided to stay at 12 and waiting for the stable version of 13.
Then i wake up this morning, open my phone then realize it has been automaticly updated overnight -_-
I use my phone looking for new features and functions for about an hour, didnt find any bugs except for the universal search in app drawer is not working. Turn that off and now the search function is working properly. Google wallet is not popular around here so i dont use them. So far i like the looks of the new ui.
Gonna update here if i found other bugs, the phone feels a little bit slower tho (barely noticable, 0.xx second slower), hopefully due to the phone still processing updates and optimization of the new os.
