Notification content privacy - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

All my notifications show their content without having to go into the app first. I've tried all sorts of settings but nothing seems to work. Please help.

The setting is buried deeper than King Arthurs sword, but what you'll want to do is search for "notification" in settings, tap on "Notifications Management" under Other, and then the menu in the top left will have lockscreen notification settings.

I have it working on the lock screen, I was referring to when you get a notification on the top status bar and you pull down, the content is there for all to see, complete emails etc.

I'm not sure that's possible, did you have a previous phone that could do that?

I believe its the GPS/Location icon. There is another thread below asking how to remove/hide it.

Why is it showing if GPS is not engaged?

With "Access to my location" on, the icon will have the three curved lines on the right. It doesnt matter which selection you have on under "Location sources".
I wasn't used to seeing that on my N2 because I did the plist edit to remove it. Forgot myself what it was. There are too many things up there on this device. The smart screen eye icon should go on and off when it sees you instead of staying up there and blinking.

Standard devices have GPS icons only on if GPS is *in use*...

Help hiding the VPN icon in Touchwiz

In stock Android previous to 5.0 the VPN icon appears as an annoying persistent key in the top left like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After 5.0 they moved it as a system icon to the right and it can be turned off or adjusted.
It looks like this:
It seems like in Touchwiz they never updated this and the key is still on the left. Even if you're using 5.1.1 (I assume 6.0 will be the same.)
---
2 Questions:
1) Without rooting, is there a way to remove or hide that icon?
2) Is there a way to file a bug or ticket with Samsung to let them know to fix this in the new Touchwiz? Or some other way of contacting them?
1) Long press on the notification and see if you can disable the notifications there.
2) ha Good luck with that.

Just have to live with it then.

How to hide the "Full screen display" bar on EMUI 8

I'm writing this as a guide for my future self (and for the people who find nothing when searching).
If you're like me, you're happy with your Huawei experience (except for them nerfing the bootloader unlock thing), but one thing I hate is this bar.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When it shows up, I usually click it, then click OK, and the game or app I'm using becomes full-screen most of the time. It doesn't really bite me until I open an app like DuckTales Remastered, which doesn't work in full screen mode. This is when you notice that the bar can't be hidden or dismissed, and you will often touch it by accident, making the confirmation dialogue pause the app and break your immersion, or worse, the app restarts in full screen and you lose all your progress.
If you have this problem, download hide full screen by huawei by kaipochi, and open it. Permit it to draw over apps, and you will have a bar display over the full screen bar. You click the number to cycle through three sizes depending on your phone, you can click the bookmark to change the size settings and create shortcuts that open the app with the bar, and click the X to close it.
Hope this helps EMUI 8 users!

Question Flashlight notification on lock screen

So I guess I feel stupid but I've got a flashlight notification on my lock screen. Not sure how it got there and I cannot find how to get rid of it. Someone got a suggestion. Thanks

I've had the same bug and don't get why it's notifying me out of context. To solve it, I disabled the feature altogether. Long click the at a glance widget > Customize > click the gear icon beside "at a glance" > Turn off flashlight.

Thanks. Adding the "at a glance" widget to my home screen and following your instructions produced no flashlight option. I was at my wits end and then I disabled Nova launcher. That produced the "flashlight off" notification on my home screen also. Long pressing that took me to a different at a glance page where the flashlight option showed up.
