He is right

That's a shame, one simple thing wish they did improve upon

Anyone else is concerned regarding this?? Or would the 3rd party app work? Like amoled always on display rathen than stock aod that can't display WhatsApp , instagram etc

EMUI is so horrible... No AOD 3rd party notifications, no expandable Lockscreen notifications...
EMUI will be the reason for me not buying this phone

A few EMUI beta testers said so

I see there is a case on the official site that has an aod on part of the screen. If you look closely on the lower part of the aod you can notice a missed phone call and messages icons.
Any ideas on the case and why huawei aod would only work on that particular one?

Huawei going 'all in' with this flagship...surely any shortcomings people kick up a fuss about will get addressed in some fashion?
say that with no confidence. I only have the P10+ and...while it had a few updates; I never really downloaded them because it required me to back-up and re-boot unlock and re-root my phone #useless
RoOSTA

Anyone tried 3rd party apps to get always on display with notifications?

yeah not workin bud

The AOD is very basic

Any hope that notifcation will be added to the AOD?
thanks

Third party aod appd work yep. I use Amoled Always On, weighs a year - except you have to tap to get to the lock screen.

I don't miss my Pixel 2 XL as I never used AOD.
Mate 20 Pro is much better

No 3rd party app notifications on such a powerhouse like Mate 20 pro, I was so disappointed when I got mine yesterday... I moved from G6 and really miss that. I have 2 weeks to return my device and I might do that and go back to G6 and see what the companies will offer in the spring. This is ridiculous that Mate 20 Pro does not support 3rd party notifications on their AOD. Really disappointed.

Let me see if I have this right.... you replied to a post that expresses disappointment about Mate 20 Pro not having AOD notifications for 3rd party apps. Does OP6T have AOD at all?

BURN IN

Guys, do you have a BURN IN on your device ?
I Got one, but i did Not leave the Phone on for hours or Something Like that
Probably image retention, it should go away.
Though I suppose that's on a very low brightness on gray background, I don't see it as a big deal.

What most likely happened is that a logo or picture stayed on your screen long enough for the OLED pixels to become discolored. This is what happens with Plasma and OLED TVs. If you're going to have something static on your screen like navbars or a logo, it's usually best to have them solid white or black along with the rest of your screen. A lot of people with Pixel phones have reported the same thing.
Call LG and have them replace it, hopefully you sign up for the second year warranty.

I've noticed the same on the bottom where the soft buttons are (when I hide the buttons). It doesn't look quite as bad as yours, but there's definitely a noticeable bar that's off-colored.
Mine's the same way at the bottom. Not sure at the base at the top. I just started yesterday to hide the navigation bar at the bottom.

Stupid Logic of ColorOS

I am using Find X China Version in Australia (Yes, sorry i think i should get a international version), hardware and design is awesome but the ColorOS is quite stupid to do simple thing right.. mainly the notification function
"Double Tap to wake up screen" Yes, it has double tap function to wake up your screen but it's only allow you to do this when the Always-on display is off. WTF..
"Apps Notification on lock screen" Yes, when you turn on the Always-on display to make sure you won't miss sth.... and Yes, you will found out some App notification is missing (like WhatsApp, FB Message, G-mail..)
"Notification Light effect" Yes, i don't why it's only flash 2 times when new message comes in, yes only 2 times to let you know you have notification... WTF...
Great device with Worst OS ever. :good:
Yes the worst software, makes it almost unusable. I sold mine week later as I couldn’t live with software, at a loss of course.
Phone hardware design is fantastic.
I’m looking to buy international version as I like the phone.
The early reviews don’t mention these restrictions so I was suckered in.

Android auto

Hello
I m very interested by mate 20 pro . Is anyone can test android auto please ?
I'll let you know as have pre-ordered this beauty for Friday ?
Android auto is working fine for Spotify and for Google Maps - however the Dialler doesnt work and in my Audi, when a call comes through it makes the MMI screen turn Black and I have to disconnect the phone to get Android Auto to come back up.

Same issue here in my Ford with the Mate 20 Pro. Tried using Google phone app instead of Huawei dialler as others had suggested for issues with P20 pro in the past but the issue still persists.

I had the note 9, and I feel the mate 20 pro is miles ahead. Yes there is some issues but I'm confident that Huawei will fix these and hopefully fairly quick. I returned the note 9 to Vodafone after 3 days as was extremely disappointed

Same issue here
I'm experiencing exactly the same in my VW Golf - have moved to Mate20 Pro after being long time Apple user. This is really frustrating - I wish I'd found out about it before buying.
I think it is something to do with the fact the default dialer is not compatible. I couldn't install the google dialer and set to default (which I think would fix it).

Already tried this unfortunately and it didnt fix the issue.
I recommend bringing this to Huawei's attention it'll be a case of the more people make a fuss the more likely they are to address it I know it took them some 2 years to support Android Auto at all on their phones.
I talked to UK live chat and reported a bug. They wrote it up and assigned it to development. Which was really nice to hear.

Where did you get the live chat?
From the HiCare application.
Tried mine today, in vw passat had no issues making a call at all. Maps and Spotify also worked fine. I did have to swop to a higher quality shorter cable as it disconnected after 30 seconds but with new cable no issues here.

Mate 20 pro Always on display / Samsung like

Hello guys,
i´m new to the mate 20 pro and have a question about the always on display function.
Is there any way to show the notifications of Facebook, Whatsapp etc. on the AOD like the Samsung devices have?
I only have notifications about SMS and Phone calls.
Thnaks a lot!
Only with 3rd party apps, the native Huawei AOD is pretty much useless on this. I'm using this one
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
There were some problems with notifications display on the M20Pro, but they have been solved a couple of weeks ago.

Yeh in the apps settings untick where it says fingerprint support, fingerprint will still work but you won't get that fingerprint screen popping up.

Love this app, but had to delete it. It drains my battery fast. Left the phone overnight for about 7 hours and the app consumed 7% of battery. Otherwise this app is an absolute necessity (for me at least) for AOD notifications

Exactly same for me, i love it but it drains too much battery. There are other things to try like lowering the brightness but still too much for me. Don't think it can be helped though as the screens always on just blacked out, so the phone can't go into doze mode.
Sent from LYA LYA Ya Bums on Fire
I have tried Always on Amoled and Glance plus and both were just too battery hungry for me, not terrible but more of a hit than I am prepared to have.
I have wondered if a halfway house like edge lighting only would work. I could live with the AOD if the LED was not so small and dim too.

The one that I linked earlier in the thread used around 2 percent an hour, no where near 4 percent unless you set the maximum brightness. But for me even 2percent an hour was too much that's why on my previous Samsung phones, I switched aod off and just relied on the led light. The aod on this phone is bareable battery wise. But maybe its because it has a bigger battery.
Sent from LYA LYA Ya Bums on Fire
It is very odd that Huawei thinks the current AOD is 'good enough', I mean surely no matter what the market people have a handful of 3rd party apps that are critical to see notification icons about. Why have AOD at all if it is going to be so gimped? I'm new to Huawei phones, but since they obviously understand cutting edge hardware it seems odd that they are so out of touch with some of the software end of things.
I need help, if possible. I found this app as by far best aod on mate 20x!
All is perfect but one bug is making it useless unfortunately. Im my bag, probably on touch, it show navigation bar (I use it because nova launch) in white color and it stays like this endless.
So not usability even all other is superb for me
Edit
It happens when swipe down from top, it shows status bar and navigation bar and they stay. When swipe from down, it appears short and dissappear
It seems I need disabling touch screen. Only fingerprint to work.
Sorry, I'd like to help, but can't really understand what you are saying. What app are you talking about?
Always on AMOLED | Edge Lighting

Question Oppo find n2, is anybody ordered?

New one
Better cameras
Better fast charging
Better screens
Better snapdragon
Is anybody ordered? From where?
Giztop maybe?
I just placed an order at Trading Shenzhen. They're usually a bit cheaper than Giztop and offer Global shipping with no added import duties. I bought the Find N with them and do far I'm satisfied.
Thanks for the tip... Looking now...

Yeah, Android Auto doesn't work. The error message says that it was not pre-installed. It must be bundled with the operating system.
Anyone else getting a message saying “Messages” wants to send a payment request message…….
When using Google messages as default messages app? I’m getting that error every time I mention something involving money like “I got a visa gift card for Christmas”
Anyone know how to turn that off or any work around?
Running latest software

I got the green one. I'm coming from a rooted Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. At first, it got super annoying going back to the CN strict-heavy rom but, it doable in the US
Cons:
- Launchers still don't work without work around.
- Google messages doesn't send messages to non-RCS users if you send a message with hot words that have to do with money.
- Only 5 apps can be locked (running fully in the background, auto startup from boot) at a time.
- Even if notifications are set AND you chose to never revoke access, some apps still won't send notifications unless you mess with the setting again (usually toggle on/off)
-default messaging app doesn't allow group sms (all messages are recieved separately)
Pros:
- super duper compact and perfect in every way (hardware wise)
- 5g is a major go (reason why I sold my first oppo find n)
- everything else not listed above runs super smoothly (in California, on TMobile)
- Pictures are really good and videos too
I have my Xiaomi watch running on it fine, when my notifications don't work on the phone sometimes, it always does on the watch.
Unboxing was crazy, holding the little green hulk felt perfect. Really hope a global rom gets released or someone finds a way to root this phone.

The price for N2 and Mix Fold 2 are more or less the same. Which do you prefer? Really tempted to order one of these two foldables.
