Bluetooth volume is not synchronized - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

How can I solve this?
The normal behaviour is to control the volume of media with the Bluetooth headphones, but with the Mate 20 Pro it's independent, so you have to adjust 2 volumes!
How can this be possible?
Samsung gives the option to change this, Pixel 2 XL also doesn't work like this, same thing for iPhone, OnePlus....
Can it be changed? Is there an app for this?

damn it really seems like EMUI has a lot of cons

The other things that bothers me a lot is that you can't get rid of the "displaying over other apps" notification.

you mean the notifications that pop up on top of the screen or there is a notification that says "displaying over other apps" that you can't slide away?
I think there is an adb command to get rid of all pop up notifications (but not sure if still works on android 9.0), it will still vibrate/make a sound and the icon of the notification would appear on status bar.
If it's the second there is an app NCleaner to block unwanted notifications per app but not sure if that is a system notification or something that if you block would block other wanted notifications.

EMUI is flat out terrible...

Lots of these things can be solved. As for the bluetooth volume, oh boohoo you have to use two volume sliders?
The displaying over other apps can be removed like every other version of android. Slide it across, press the settings icon, and turn off the notification.

Quite honestly I'm ok with multiple volumes. Why? Because when I go from one device such as my xb950 to my car, they use two different volumes. I just wish I could have ring ton and notification tone control

same here, lacking the setting to control ringtone and notification volumes independently ....

you can use NCleaner app

And also is it just me or is the bluetooth music quality really poor. I have good headphones and they sound like their 12 dollars. I did come from sony though

Is there a faster way to pull up the volume levels of the phone without going settings -> audio -> and then selecting it.

Silent mode widget toggle? It'd take up a 1x1 spot on your homescreen and would allow you to quickly change profiles. I use one I created from Widgetsoid, but any of them on the market should work.
Audio manager is a free app that lets you adjust the volume of every mode independently. Gives you a nice widget too.

hmm ill look around but wouldnt that make everything completely silent? i just want to turn it down
I have the pro version and you can adjust everyting as loud or quiet as you want. I assume the free version does as well. Download it and see. If it's not what you want, uninstall it.

constant notifications sounds but no notifications [solved]

My S3 is constantly indicating that I have notifications and it drives me up the wall. Any idea why it is doing this?

You can go into settings notifications and turn them all off or only select the ones you want notifications from. I get way too many too.

Sorry I was a bit unclear. I'm getting notifications sounds but no actual notifications. It just bleeps like I have had one. If I knew which app was doing it I would just turn it off but as I don't have any just a sound I can't
Managed to find out what goes on. Samsung has an notification reminder under accessibility. The default setting there is 1 minute. Switching it off sorted my issue out.

MATE 20 PRO - Generic questions RE: notification sounds / contacts / ringtones

Guys,
For those out there who have this phone or are still testing. Can you:
Set different ringtones by contact (I can see you can only set 1 ringtone by SIM card in settings)?
Can you assign different notifications per app? Eg: a different sound to SMS receive compared to email received -- Can you set notification sounds in the native app itself while disabling the normal Huawei system notification otherwise?
LED notification PULSE light. Any one take a video of it displaying in the dark?
Can you set different LED colours by different notifications using a 3rd party app like LIGHTFLOW? Not sure if it has Pie support yet...
The fact that there's a 99% likelihood this phone cannot be unlocked to customise as I see fit is a big turnoff, meaning a lot of useful apps I have to go without...making Huawei stand up and tick more boxes is now extremely important
Any help is appreciated

Based from my limited reading, the OS itself is preventing this. I am a big fan of customized ringtones and notifications too. I'd know when it's my wife calling or when it's work or something else. I'm not closing my doors on this. I hope we'll get a solution real soon.
If you use Google contacts, click on the contact go to the 3 dots on the top right in the menu there is set ringtone
Google messages, settings, notifications, sounds
If you go to settings, apps, notifications, sounds you can set different tones for almost any app
weird, I don't see any "notifications" under apps as you've said

Even without Google contacts you can set tones for different people in the stock dialer contacts app, go to edit the contact and at the bottom there is a tab saying "more fields" and it will allow you to set custom ringtone. If you go to settings then apps and click the app you want to customize and at the very top it'll say 'notification management" click on that and then click on sound, and then you can pick a sound.

When you go into each app settings there is a notification option, sometimes it is under miscellaneous or more options.

I use Light Manager 2 from Google Play. Works pretty well for me with customisable colours of the LED.

In the stock contact app if you click on the contact person and edit, then go to more fields at the bottom there's a ringtone option there.

awesome, cheers for that. Shame it only lets you select from the start of the song. Coming from Samsung, it would give you that option as well as suggesting the "best" part of the track for a ring tone. which always worked really well. Do you know if there's anything like that in the software or even a 3rd party app that can do it?

Always On Edge - Edge Lighting App

So I thought I would start a thread since this seems to be the best app out there to replace our missing notifications LED. This seems to be the best solution at the moment but I'm having some issues.
1. I can't seem to get the colors to change on a per-app basis.
2. The edge lighting around the notch doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else figured this out or have any other suggestions?
Here is a link to the app for those that haven't tried it yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
In settings for the app, give it the required permissions, scroll down to the blue box that says "enable app and its color and time", select the app you want, check enable edge lighting, (I have only checked out One Color) then tap the colored box, and select the color you want, and press Choose.
Been playing with it today. Works well enough that I paid. One remaining concern, is effect on battery so we'll have to see how it behaves tomorrow.
For the ring around the camera, enable "notch support" under widget settings and make sure you have either "around all screen" or "around notch only" selected under lighting above.
To get per app notifications, use the "when a notification comes" option under how to start and it will open up a selection.
Another really cool feature is "display notification icons" that can be used together work edge lighting, or stand alone by itself to create an alternative to aod that stays on when there are notifications pending.

Try the system apps checkbox. The UI isn't the greatest and it took me a while to get mine sorted out, but seems to work really well one configured.

System apps checkbox in the AOE? Didn't see this option. If on the individual app, I've set all notifications to on
I've been playing with the notch ring only cause is what I am interested but it somehow disable Always Display and dont know how to get it back... I just want the led notch ring notifications
Is it me or does this app have an archaic setup process? It just looks so dated and hard to use.

Found that. Thank you.
Which option do you choose for the following;
*allow this app to run without restriction or
*allow the system to prevent this app from running sometimes
I am curious....it cannot be setup to work as the original led notifications, right? I mean, the light ring disappears after a few seconds...cannot be set to repeat after a certain period of time..?
Yeah, it has a reminder function. Thanks for clarifying to myself )
Curious about battery usage with this app. The features are cool but the setup is just a pain.

You can set the time that it shows up and also there is a repeat option as well.
Hi. Great app!! However... Even tho I've ticket to show the app's icon when a notification is received... I don't. Any ideas? Cheers
I can't get this to work at all on my s10. wanted to it flash different colours (with screen off) for variety of notifications (Skype, WA, Nine (email). Messenger). None work. can't get any light to come on at all....is there something I'm missing!?
Make sure that the built in edge lighting isn't turned on.

Thanks - all good. Seemed that Nine was supported as Samsung email works fine as does Whats App. To me this is a 100% solution to the no LED light so happy days..
Yes I'm very happy with it so far. :good:
Im still tweaking with this - can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the AOD it puts on the phone. I just want the notification ring.
I cant seem to get this to work as well

Notification sorting miui 12

Installed Miui 12 eu rom, now notifications are sorted by time instead of priority...
I have many persistent notifications and I intentionally set priority to minimal / 'trivial' so they stay at the bottom
I now have to search the notifications in the list and it's annoying.
Anyway to get it to the way it was?

Maybe try disabling this?
Not sure it made any difference.
Some of the apps did however stop "refreshing" their notifications and jumping to the top after a couple of times I opened them.
Some asked for permissions again...
There is just 1-2 apps that still do this.
ended up using Mi control center app
solves the notification sort problem + notifications aren't huge which I like and overall a very neat app.

nice app, but would be great if if worked correctly with custom quick settings tiles, like from Tasker, AutoNotification or Blokada.

Thanks for sharing. I have my first MIUI phone (coming from stock Android) and notifications in MIUI were driving me nuts. This app seems to return the stock Android behavior, hopefully there are no issues with it.
I still wish MIUI would honor the notification priority, what sense does it make to have silent notifications otherwise..
I am sorry for asking if it sounds silly, but how do we adjust priorities of notifications from different apps? Like I want some apps like text messages and missed calls etc to show on top of others in the list.
One more question, in Oxygen OS there was a feature of silent notifications, they were separated from the rest of the notifications by a neat divider labeled other notifications, they were collapsed by default and did not make a sound or splash. Can this be achieved in MIUI 12?
