Dear all, i don't get any notifications in the status bar for anything as i used to get in other phones, also there is no notification led ligh, is this normal in the phone not to have these features as I can't find any option in the settings to bring them up
Read some reviews stating it might be a bug. Expect next update to resolve it. Don't really know if there's a notification led present or not.
There's a notification led at the bottom chin.
There is no space for notifications!!
Hi all,
I just received the delivery of F1 today. The phone is exceptionally good, but this notification thing is a huge irritant. The notch in this phone is rather big, and the remaining notification space is taken up by battery, wifi, phone signal on the right and time on the left. This leave no room for any other notifications! One of the best and most necessary feature of android (ie missed notification badges on status bar) is as good as disabled. I hope xiaomi does something about it. This is simply unacceptable.

Yup, seems like every other details that were supposed to be shown in status bar will now have to be accessed by expanding the notification shade ( pull down notification). This applies to battery percentage, network speed, app notifications and etc. It's kinda bummer as I keep missing out on replies from messaging apps due to this. Hope they fix this fast.
Actually they should have mentioned that as really if i would knew it i wouldn't have bought this phone as it is very annoying if the phone is silent i miss everything as also the notification led at the bottom is not working they should fix that

I just received an update MIUI 9.6.14.0. However, it didn't fix the notification situation. Anyways, I tried to understand this issue further. I tried the one-handed mode (OHM) to see if the notification displays the app notification badge. Unfortunately even in OHM the notch seem to a predefined UI cut out as opposed to a dynamic status bar. I also noticed that despite "Show All Notifications" is set on "On the lockscreen" settings, no notifications are displayed there as well. Either I'm really missing something, or there's a real bug on POCOF1 notifications.
On a side note unrelated, I really feel that the right side notch space is poorly managed. I believe the time, battery + percentage + mobile signal could be easily accommodated this space, leaving the left side notch area for app notification badge and what not.
That's the exact screen i have as well. No option to show notification badge
There is no option like this telling show notification icons where did u find it

Turning Off the notch just makes the status bar background black so that it mearges with the notch. It does not actually disable the notch. Still no notification badges.

In Android 9 Even if your phone has notch you'll see the notifications on left side with small icons. I think it will take a month or so or maybe they'll introduce it with MIUI10 update

Facing the same dam issue its highly annoying as i have missed some very important msgs phone was on silent mode n i missed them. This is highly unacceptable I have to scroll down after some time to see the notifications again and again.
Is it possible to return it to Flipkart ?? I am already unhappy with the Netflix issue on top of that this issue.

I think this deserves its own thread so more people will be able to get a better view of the Vodafone Kit Kat update which i got today as an OTA ( D80220A DE 16GB ).
1. Auto brightness works perfectly (although it's a bit dark in low light conditions,maybe my eyes have to get used to it)
2. Knock on is instant, works perfectly and it's 100% accurate and successful (led light flashes cyan instead of white)
3. Auto account sync now works perfectly(it used to refresh randomly)
4. Battery life is actually better
5. Some apps run faster and they have the 3 dot option which first appeared on 4.3 I think?
6. Locations services and gps have merged to a single toggle button but you can still switch to different modes. Also more battery efficient.
7. White icons on status bar and transparency for status bar + front touch buttons on apps that support it
8. Updated LG applications
9. On screen phone application added (allows to control phone screen from the computer while on wifi) and preinstalled Google Drive app.
10. Camera photos are saved by default in a "camera" folder instead of the 100LGDSC.Camera(old) contains the old photos in gallery.
11. No knock code and no ART options available.
12. In application settings there is a separate "Disabled" bar next to "All" listing the disabled apps (Which is very convenient)
13. Printing added on general settings
14. 4G works normaly as before
15. The font on some apps is bigger
16. Weather animation now working properly and without lag on the lockscreen
17. Camera autofocus seems to have been improved, especially in video recording
18. No more stuttering on menu animations while something else runs in the background (i.e. When a chat head pops up or the weather widget refreshes)
19. Option in settings for turning on or off the led notification light for downloaded apps
20. Aspect ratio correction was removed from the settings (I can't find it so correct me if i'm wrong)
21. Two new FM radio widgets available
Changelist by the community members,not confirmed by me:

Issues:
1. "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error showing up after each boot
(Note : Reportedly a hard reset fixes this)
(Note 2 : I confirmed that SwiftKey causes the error and it should be resolved by an app update.
Vote for the bug here: http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...stions/5560697-foreclose-on-lg-g2-at-t-kitkat)
2. The Bluetooth process is running even when off but i don't see high impact on battery life as others mentioned.
Eventually people will report the issue and it will be fixed in a future update.
3. Noise and hissing when playing music with earphones and the stock player.
4. Sometimes,when plugging in the headphones the sound comes only from the the phone speaker and only way to resolve this is by rebooting.
(As for the lower benchmark scores after KitKat i've never tried it and i couldn't care less)

Additional thoughts:
This update is more like an "under the hood" job ! Phone feels smoother and stable overall, many small issues have been sorted and a few details here and there were refined and polished, resulting in a stock Rom the way it should be done. In short words I'm very satisfied.
Feel free to ask me questions

I'm not sure if this is KK related or it has been there before but when I receive an incoming call while I'm browsing a small window pops up with the caller info and 'answer' and 'reject' buttons so you won't get interrupted by calls if your doing something which is a really nice feature!

Wao this is a very positive review regarding update. Seems like it was well worth the wait.
I'll be very glad if Auto Brightness is working fine now.
Two questions
1. Opening threads in messages app seem to take a second in JB. Any difference felt in kitkat?
2. Photos taken as portrait come out as landscapes in PC and have to set them as portrait again in windows. Kitkat solves this?

No widgets redraw or stutter like on JB.

there was a suggestion to choose only bluetooth from the battery saver items and turn it on immediately but i tried that and it doesnt woek.
Can you try swiping the navigation bar downwards? I saw a video about a KK review on G2 and he can hide / show the nav bar by swiping gesture. Please confirm?
The bluetooth service doesnt seem to run on the Korean version guys.Maybe they fixed it?
I found another issue guys tho i dont know if its only on my end:
When using the quick window case there was supposed to be music controls when playing music with the stock player,no?

This is a simple yet cool module to customize the AOD Display on the Galaxy S7. Only S7 is supported currently because that is the phone that I currently own and can test with.
Whats it do?
As of 3.8.18:
- Allows for a text label to be displayed below the icon. This text label is of the "title" parameter from the notification itself. If the notification uses a "RemoteViews" layout, then the "title" parameter will be empty and no label is shown. It works great with Textra SMS and Snapchat to show who they are from. I can customize each notification per app but need a list of apps to further support.
- The text label is fully customizable, text color, size, and maximum width are fully adjustable.
UPDATE: 6.22.18
- Added a crap ton of stuff.. See screenshots
To Do:
- I might add long press on icon to clear notification (if this is possible, I think it is though.) <- Not possible
- Also, possibility for full customization of the clock and positioning of everything. As of now, the defaults are fine with me personally <- Still thinking about this, might make it so you can literally make your own
- Music controls always on bottom of display (maybe) <- Moved to below notifications due to reasons

Hi
I have an s7 (SM-G930F) but with the AOD layout I have... the text is almost completely gone.
For ideas you can maybe look at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-galaxyxmod-t3410719
All I miss is the grouping of same notification. For example: I loved too see the Facebook-notification-icon with just the number of notifications below that. Instead of like 4 separate notifications-icons.
And maybe how it could add a picture to any AOD layout.

Hmm, my layout did that the first time too, but I fixed. Can you send me your aodservice apk? Also sorry for the "PIZZA TIME" that was my default if a title couldn't be retrieved xD I thought I got rid of it, guess not xD.
As for the grouping, I saw in the code, there seems to already be a method there. I will see why its disabled but I can always add my own.
But what I am understanding - 5 people message you via Facebook messenger, you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it? I can do that, thats quite easy. I prefer having all 5 expanded with the names, so I can reply to one. Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?
Replacing image is no problem, just know that it will consume battery faster when a non black and white image is present.
Hope you can add s8 support someday, it looks kinda cool

Do you know how many notifications are required before that plus is created? I noticed in the code a "Max notifications" variable. Adding the feature of multiple lines shouldn't be too difficult

Sorry for the late reply.
Wow I see my screenshot was pretty big.. Didn't see that on my mobile
Didn't even see the "'PIZZA TIME' either.
I see in your second post you already do grouping? That looks good.
"you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it?"
I don't really understand this one, but if I get 2 notification I would like to see 1 icon with: (2).
"Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?"
Sound good. But double tap is already a function on the icon's. So maybe long press or something? Or make it an option in what way to acitvate?
AOD apk is attached.

Haven't noticed yet, will check when I wake up in the morning, that's when I have a lot of notifications. Lol
Lol, took me 10 mins, still haven't figured out how to attach a screenshot.
Anyways, only 4 icons were shown before the + sign was introduced, but I think that's because my icons ass more spaced out due to long titles(didn't use title wrap in the app), and out of the 4, 2 were grouped notifications. Hope this is useful.

Yep! Its definitely 4! I found the code. Now just gotta figure out how to add a new row.. Shouldn't be too bad. Just gotta find time. Have a paper due and an exam on Friday.
Also, for the notification title that is really long, I can make it so it scrolls across instead of wrapping (i think, things behave differently in AOD due to making sure the device can deep sleep)

Great idea for the scrolling titles!
But can you make it optional, because not everyone would want it that way.

UPDATE: New version EB_CD_1.4_BETA is now up on Google Play Store. Download now! Please leave a rating on Google Play Store if you try the App, your feedback is very valuable!
NOTE: The App is tested on Samsung Galaxy S9 so far, for the looks. If you have a Galaxy S8/S8+/S9+, please post some pictures as a feedback. Thanks!
Greetings! I made this special Curved Edition of Energy Bar for Galaxy S8/S9/+. Look forward to hear community feedback on this.

Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

UPDATE: What's new?
EB_CD_1.2_BETA:
* Adjusted the curve at left corner by 1 pixel, because every pixel matters!
* Fixed issues with 'Status Bar' mode - portrait to landscape switching/auto-hides.
EB_CD_1.2.1_BETA:
* Minor Bug fixes
Hey Guys! If you try the App, please leave a review on Google Play Store, it will be really helpful, thanks!
Hi. Great app. S8+ it doesn't curve all the way. Corners cut off on one side left or right. Or both if centred.

Thanks!
And the apparent cut is the intended behaviour of the App. As the description says, Energy Bar's width represents your current battery level. If it covers entire width of your phone, it means your battery is at 100%. As the battery depletes Energy Bar shrinks as well.
In centre origin, the depletion happens from either edge of the phone.
Nice one thanks. I'll rate in Google for you.
What's new in EB_CD_1.3_BETA ?
* The curves just got smoother, the smoothness level will depend on the thickness you choose.
* The 'Merged Segments' and 'Gradient' color configurations now displays mirrored, as expected in 'center' origin.
Hey Guys! If you try the App, please leave a review on Google Play Store, it will be really helpful, thanks!
Thanks like it a lot.Samsung S8+
Can you implement some sort of burn-in prevention? There will always be a part of the bar which remains the same throughout the day and that might cause burn-in over time. Other than that the app is awesome!

Will look into it, for now try switching up the origin/colors/color modes.
What's new in EB_CD_1.4_BETA?
* Fixed internal crashes.
* 'Hotfix' for Energy Bar disappearing randomly, it's based on remote devices' feedback. Thanks for the patience. Please uninstall current version > reboot phone > Install latest version, this will make sure that there are no traces of Energy Bar running from previous version.
Hey Guys! If you try the App, please leave a review on Google Play Store, it will be really helpful, thanks!

Hi! Thanks for trying the App. There is actually an exclusive version of the App for Galaxy Note 8, it is better adapted for the curve of Note 8 among other optimisations. Try it out - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=you.in.spark.energy.curved.note8

Thank you!
Displaying a numeric percentage goes completely against the philosophy of visual battery indicator, so it will never be added to this App. Hope that makes sense.

The latest version of Android doesn't allow 3rd party Apps to overlay on Lockscreen, unfortunately!

Unfortunately I can't see the full battery bar because I only get 80% battery. But I'll be fixing that real soon.

Nice app! I only wish for 2 things:
* make option to make bar wider, at least by couple of pixels. I also have CPU meter at top and it shows a pixel-or-two gap in between. I am aware this is only on my setup, but this wouldn't hurt nothing
* option to make bar all the way to the end ALWAYS visible and distinguish full/empt yonly by color! It means the bar and the left/right curve would always be visible, but full percetnage would be i.e. red and emptied percentage blue, etc
Thanx

hello everyone
i have a few questions about notifications on Huawei mate 20 pro. First, i can't swipe notifications down on the lockscreen to see the full message. I only see the first line. That is very annoying! I had a s9+ before this one and i liked the swiping down of the notifications. Second I also don't see notifications on the always on display. I mean, what's the point of it if you only see the time, date and battery?
Are these things just in the EMUI or can i change it? And would it help if we send emails to them? Oneplus for example listens to their community. Is huawei like that or more like Apple who gives a **** about the community?
i hope you guys can help me!!!
PS: I know that my English isn't great, so i don't need comments on typos :silly:
Need to go into face unlock settings and can turn off the hide notifications before unlock option.

i don't think you understand me. I CAN see notifications and i CAN see what's in the message but i CAN'T expand the notification to see the FULL notification.
I was saying this since day 1 lol. found out if you tap precisely on the little arrow on the top line of the notification it expands them all. I would screenshot but returned my Mate 20 Pro this morning for a refund.

My first one had green screen which was annoying in itself. but I just didnt unbox the replacement so it was easier to return
but yeah:
Notification issues (missed calls just dont really show anywhere unless you open the dialer app too)
Issues unlocking the device - face unlock didnt work very well and I followed the advice to set it up with my face being lit from the front, fingerprint reader didnt work very well for me either and I had tried deleting and adding my fingerprint a few times too - would work fine for the first day. I would always end up having to enter the pin number to unlock it which also annoyed me that I could have a pattern unlock - would have been quicker to do a pattern than a 6 digit pin.
Silence from Huawei on updates, bugs and green screen issue.
I purchased simfree unlocked from a general store and not a network but it still relies on my network for updates.
Camera was great but it did take work to take a good pic - all this please hold still to sharpen and stuff. I never managed to take a quick snap that was in focus lol
Gone back to the Pixel 2 and saving my money for next year, if this gets root and stock android and maybe a hardware revision to elimiate all green screens then I'll come back to it though!

All your points are spot on, except that after a bit of work, i can get incredible camera shots, but I would also add:
Notifications appear and then disappear sometimes, or appear again after I've got rid of them
Swipe down from middle of the screen should be notifications, and not search
No swipe up from bottom of screen to access flashlight etc... like you can do on the lock screen...
Automatic brightness often switches down while I'm unlocking the phone, probably because i'm covering some light while reaching for it, and then doesn't ramp back up, so have turned this off

For anyone else on Vodafone, what are you doing about yours? I'm thinking to hold off replacing as long as possible to try and get a better screen
I agree with both of you. The software is bad imho. I have a LG screen but no green screen problems. I am thinking to return it because of the bad software and the screenproblems. But what phone should i go with then? The only phone that has a lot incommon with the mate 20 pro is the note 9. Maybe pixel 3 xl but it has way less battery, less ram, no super charging...

I would have Huawei over Samsung any day of the week
I have Samsung S9, LG G7 and now this Mate 20 Pro.. honestly Huawei is amazing piece of HW, but the software side is way behind LG or Samsung.
You will just spot all the missing features during daily use. There are so much useful things that works on LG/Samsung, but are missing on Huawei.
Is there some official email, or developer forum, where we can post feature requests?

yep, that is what i mean. There are a lot of little things on samsung that makes it for me better. for me software > hardware. although samsung has both.
Hi guys, I want to use this Thread for share the bugs and the problems of android 11 update from sony.
In the end I'll can share all this bugs to Sony Developers and hope for a fix.
My device: Sony Xperia 5 ii [Firmware Vesrion: 58.1.A.1.178 Android 11]
Problems & Bugs:
1- When you get a notification with the always on display: the icons of apps that have a notification are no longer displayed example: instagram or telegram icon are not displayed in the always on display.
2- In multitasking the ability to copy text directly into any app has been removed (it was a new android 11 feature that sony apparently removed) .
3- The application drawer now (in android 11) has a completely black background in "dark mode", and not dark gray like the previous version. (there is no possibility to set dark gray) .
4- The shutdown screen is not adapted to the 21: 9 screen and is too far up and difficult to reach.
5- The flashlight when used makes very little light compared to any other smartphone. Problem also of the last android version.
6- There is no possibility to use android's original Theme and Backgrounds system to change interface color and icon shape.
7- [!NEW] Black screen when you make a screenshot on videos.
8- [!NEW] The notification light blink too slow and is not easy to see if you get a new notify.
If you find a bug or problem please reply
• Little update 02/03/21 (MM/DD/YY): I contacted sony from the chat in real time and I reported all this bugs to developers.

I'll add increased battery drain.
I had a random reboot about 3 hours after updating. Can't be sure it was anything to do with the new version as I wasn't using the phone at the time. Just saw it go off and the SONY boot screen appear.
i got two reboots, one during typing a whatsapp message and the other when i plugged it into a charger
Got another one this morning, only realized when i took the phone out of my pocket and it asked me to enter pin
Grr, another restart, so I did a backup, factory reset and a restore.
Fingers crossed that does the trick

That does sound like a lot of reboots! I've not had any since the one on the first day of update.
Struggling to see that much benefit or difference to Android 11 if I'm honest. I like the screenshot in task switcher but nothing much else new. More negatives if anything! Someone else posted about the black screen when holding the power button for example.
I've just noticed notifications history doesn't show. The 'Notification log' is empty.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue but my always on screen is showing out of date notification icons. The ones in the attached picture show notifications I've definitely swiped away previously!
My always on display is set to display on movement but I can't see changing that option will make any difference to the icons.
my sony 5ii XQ-AS52, is working in a very weird way
caler id- when im having one cal at the time, everything is a okay.
geting caller id of a waiting call while im all ready in another call isnt working. i can hear sound of another call but no caller id just black screen
ui- when you open app and return to home screen, the the apps that are pin to the uper spot of the screen are starching up in very weird and unatural way. its not consistent.
sudden mute- Microphone stops working intermittently during calls.
geekbench- 30 percent drop in performance tests
some thoughts:
i tried to get humen suport from google, regarding to stupid problem with chrom freezing sins the day of android 10, but they are only referring to useless articles.
this inst the first/second/fifth android version, this isnt the fisrt time this tsunami of bugs is raining on users affter major system update, so why the hell this procedure isnt improving??
its make me very angry to see how many people with different devices having so much troubles
pepole that spent a lot of hard erning money for their smartphones.
in time perspective, android is getting more and more restrictions (no call recording, lot of google blotware pre install and more) the opposite of what brought her to success
how come pepole pays for working devices and google is ruining them and taking the time(or just politely ignore it) to fix it?
why pepole should have to root their smartphones in order to be able to use basic functions like chosing their favorite browser, call recordings and god forgive me the option to delete fb, cod and booking com.
this is without mentioning the time, the brick/warranty risk by rooting.
if software updates are so good why we can roll back in all android smartphones? what is so scary?
i like android, but i dont like the way google is going and this is contrdict to the compony big promise, do not harm
i dont know how to rol back.

Just updating on this one as I don't think the issue is with the update as such. From what I have seen, the icons look to be legitimate notifications that are active, with the exception of the Facebook Messenger icons. Even if I have closed the chat bubbles these still appear. Maybe just an issue with how that app integrates with the lock screen?
EDIT: This is way worse than I initially realized.
The navigation bar/pill is buggy as hell.
First of all, I now have an ugly-ass black bar on the bottom of my screen in a lot of applications (maybe all of them actually, I'll have to check). I even have this bar in full screen/landscape apps which looks even more stupid.
Second, the bar sometimes gets stuck on one side of the screen. Meaning that when I switch from a landscape app to a portrait app, the pill will then be on the right side of the screen for no reason (and vice versa).
Finally, the gesture pill interferes with taps and gestures ALL THE DAMN TIME. Anything that is too close to the pill I cannot tap or swipe.
I open any app, there's a black bar at the bottom for no reason. I play a game in full screen, I can't tap tiny icons on the edge of the screen because the gesture bar interferes. I go back to Niagara launcher, I can't swipe through my app list because the gesture pill is stuck on the right side and, again, interferes.
This is plain unusable.
Battery drain on android 11.. A10 is better for battery life...
Maybe try a factory reset?
Lock screen updates seem to enter deep sleep and even the clock shows a time in the past for a moment when you double tap to wake it. Same with notification icons.
So, here's an update on lock screen mode vs icons/time inconsistencies and also notifications lag.
If you go to Ambient Display settings and then "When to show Ambient display", if you set it to "Smart activation" then the info in the lockscreen is refreshed properly and even more important, notifications when the phone is locked are showing up without delay.
the chat head is being replaced by buuble or something called like that, and it's causing restart when ever you try to tap the plus button
It seems that first A11 security/maintenance (not sure about this) patch has arrived, hope some issues are fixed.
New A11 update just arrived: 58.1.A.3.87 (Feb/1st Security Update)
I just got a new X 5II yesterday.
After i read about some problems with A11, i made a Geekbench 5 test between A10 and A11.
The results are ...
A10 - CPU - SC 898 / MC 2736
A11 - CPU - SC 719 / MC 1951
I reseted the phone and ran the benchmark again.
A11 (reset) - CPU SC 700 / MC 1811
I think there is a lot wrong with the A11 Update.
UPDATE 24 h AFTER THE UPDATE:
The results of geekbench are now a lot better:
SC 880 / MC 3132
Seems A11 is doing a lot of background stuff after the update
@infinity81 You might want to test again after a week or so. There have been multiple reports about this improving after a while. Somebody posted a screenshot with a score of 886/3148 on a different forum.
