Notifications.....wtf! - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

So I have just sold my OnePlus 5T to get the mate 20 pro and I cannot believe how bad the software is on this phone - it is so difficult to get your head around.
All I want is for my notifications to wake the screen upon receipt and to notify the banner when the phone is awake - FYI a £1000 cannot do this.
I have just had my OnePlus alongside the Mate 20 and every notification from the OnePlus came through - they simply do not on the Mate 20.
Gmail - Lock screen notifications are intermittent, banner notifiactions simply do not come through.
Sky News - Nope
Whatsapp - Nope
Twitter - Intermittent
Strangely enough, some of my sports apps (Futbol 24 & Sofascore) work absolutely fine.
Am I missing something or does a £1000 phone not do notifications very well?
Don't get me started on Nova launcher ............
Shocking!

So firstly ensure you're using the magazine unlock or default theme as I know there are issues using themes and notifications on the lockscreen.
Secondly head over to settings----notifications---more notifications and you'll see the option to wake the device.
Also ensure under battery the apps listed are not managed automatically.
Hope that helps!

For my sanity are you not experiencing any issues with notification? It just seems very strange that small development apps come through fine but the likes of Gmail and Whatsapp do not.

Please try the following methods:
1)Make sure the SIM card is inserted. Setttings---Battery---- Click the gear button on the upper right corner--- switch on “Stay connected when device sleeps”.
2) Settings---Notifications----More notification settings---turn off "Smart notifications"

go to security settings and switch to no content, and then switch it back, whatsapp shows now the content on my locksceen

Lock Screen Notifications.

Hey all,
Has Hauwei fixed the way that their lock screen shows notification? Can you still only view new notifications on the lock screen? Does it still not play well with 3rd music app widgets?

I got mate 10 pro,dont have any problems with music apps, but notifications has a bug, which kills apps and notifications are delayed or not showed at all untill you unlock your phone..
Darn, that is super unfortunate. I think I may have to pick something else up. Ty for the feedback.
I'm also disappointed.. could stay with mate 9 pro, i see no difference, mate 9pro even felt smoother.
I had the same problems with the notifications with my Mate 10 pro but i just figured out why.
It can be weird and not user-friendly but if you don't choose Magazine Unlock from the LockScreen -> LockScreenStyle, you won't be able to have notifications (or only messages notifications). Check also the top right corner menu in the Notifications Management and set it to Always or Don't diplay notification content.
I hope this will help you.

I can only select magazine unlock, no other alternativ is present and i can't seem to uncheck magazine. Any ideas?
Is this still a problem?
How can a phone not notify you when it is locked ? seems like a pretty major flaw.

I have Mate 10 (not pro) international version and I don't have any problem with notification on lockscreen or not. Out of the box all notifications were working as on my second phone NOTE 8...

No problem with notifications too
But problem with expanding notifications in lockscreen with magazine locks.
My mate 10 don't show the message / wechat / whatsapp / email notification anymore when screen is locked. I remember it used to show, and I think I have accidentally changed something to disable this feature. I already went to Setting/ Apps & Notifications/ Notifications management/ and enable EVERYTHING.
In addition, at the upper right top corner I clicked the 3 dots, selected "Lock Screen Notifications" and choose "Display all notifications", still no hope.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks!!

Notification not going through on lock screen

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is another common bug, but it is getting a bit frustrating.
Whenever there are new messages coming through (say whatsapp, wechat, facebook messenger), there's no notification showing up under a lock screen.
I have already enabled ALL my apps for notification, even the right hand corner under notifications management -> Lock screen notifications -> display all notifications.
I have also tried to change a few themes already and it's still the same....
Is this a common bug for everyone? If not, is there any other ways i can fix this? Just scratching my head on this....
Thanks for the help!
Cheers!

If you mean the black AOD screen the answer is yes. Nothing shows up there expect the battery and music from the Huawei player.
If you mean the screen after that which allows you to use quick toggles the answer is no. That one works just fine.
My lock screen is set to magazine. Maybe that helps.

Local notifications not working

Maybe it's because many of applications haven't been adopted for Oreo yet, but I've tested a lot of apps - most of them fail to send local notifications. Maybe it has something to do with Mate 10 specifically. I don't have other Oreo devices unfortunately.
So, the story began from Tick-tick task manager. It works smooth on my Note 4, but I'm unable to make it work properly on Mate 10. I've set "ignore battery optimization" option for it, let it run in background and auto-launch, enabled priority notifications for it, blocked it in recent apps (the lock button), but with no luck - reminders just don't work. Then I tried a number of other task-managing apps (wunderlist, and others). Only one them worked (don't remember which one, really tested a lot). Found an app called "fake notifications" just to test the local notifications, set notification timeout for one minute, blocked the screen - no luck. Notifications only appear, if the apps are not closed after creating the notification.
Push notifications work properly (messengers, etc.). Looks like it has something to do with the local notifications specifically.
Some links:

Maybe, I sound a little unemotional... so... I need my task manager working!

It looks like all of the problems with notifications not popping/widgets not updating etc are just caused by aggresive optimisation in EMUI 8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-huaweis-background-task-freezer-t3728298
So for, as I can see, there's no rootless solution.

Huawei disabled that feature from the last couple of updates for all devices citing privacy issues.
Do you know if there is any way of getting around that, is there any third party software that could re-enable expanding notifications on the lock screen - it's one thing I really miss having just upgraded from a Nexus 5X!

Yea i have novalauncher but it doesn't affect lock screen. i think you need lockscreen launcher but I don't want to change. Huawei should give the option in lockscreen settings
If you have face unlock enabled, go to settings - security - face unlock and disable smart lock screen notifications
Honor\huawei has indeed screwed this up. faceunlock or pin or etc is not the problem.
The problem is at lock screen, you can see a notification for whatsapp
If it is just a single message, you're fine. You can read it.
But if it is multiple messages or multi line, you can't, as it only shows amount of messages notifications, and the FIRST line of the message.
You can't expand the notification to read the rest. You end up having to unlock and go into whatsapp to read it.
*Sometimes you just want to read the messages, without ending up showing yourself last online in WhatsApp........
Ifyou have enabled face unlock and swipe to get to the launcher you can press the power button, the phone will recognize your face and then you can pull down the notifications.
Same if you want to skip a song at spotify etc.

Can't. It doesn't work.
Steps.
1. Press power button or lift phone to start face unlock
2. U can see whatsapp notifications on the lock screen, but they are grouped up. Meaning, can't expand to see contents
3. Face unlock recognizes your face. You can now able to slide to unlock
4. Still, the notifications can't be accessed or expanded to read full content

The same issue here. My wife's Honor 10 after customization completely lost lockscreen notifications and camera shortcut too. I spent long time trying to solve this in notification settings but failed- non app like default SMS, WhatsApp or Messenger displays notification on lockscreen. Do you have any advice please?

Hello. Notifications currently aren't working with custom lockscreen themes. Devs from honor said it was for higher security. I hate to say that the only way to see notifications on lockscreen is to change lockscreen theme to default, just lockscreen is enough though, you can keep other things like icons etc in whatever theme you want. I personally hate the clock being at the bottom of screen but there is no other way for notifications to show up properly atm. I also tried custom lockscreen 'launchers' but they're bugged. Hope this helps.
Tested working on Huawei View10, You can enable full message content on lock screen by going to phone settings > security & Privacy > Face Unlock > and disable "smart lock screen notification". These seem to be a bad description on Huawei part because you would think this turns off notifications on lock screen but it only limits the content on lock screen for security purposes. The only time i need to expand my messages on lock screen is when phone is sitting on desk and i don't want to lift the phone to unlock it in order to read my notification. Lock screen notification can be set for apps separately. Hope this helps.

Notifications doesnt show up on lockscreen & online games doesnt connect to servers

Notifications doesnt show up on lockscreen & online games doesnt connect to servers
I dont know if it is just me but I am not getting any notifications on the lockscreen. I did look into the notification settings for each app. No notifications show up even after enabling lockscreen notifications. This is a huge issue and is really annoying because as such there aren't any notification icons in the status bar. Thanks in advance
Edit: (Another issue is that most online games does not connect to their servers at all. PUBG, Dragonball Heroes.) My mistake guys. It was my router's problem, not the phones. Sorry!
Have you enabled lock screen notification for each app, which is different from system wide option?
For the online games, I don't have the problem. You might had tinkered with a wrong option. Kindly check them all one by one.

Thanks but I figured out the online games issue. It is a problem with my new router. Had to change its settings. Totally unrelated to the phone.
About the notifications, I did enable them individually but it didnt change anything. The lockscreen is empty all the time. I have to pull the notification shade down to see any updates.
PS: This is my first time using MIUI. The settings are kinda confusing

I also bought the f1, I've had rmn 3 pro / 5 pro ad MI 5s plus. All of them where pure miui and I'm sorry to say this but the f1 has a poco launcher and I haven't tried other launchers yet but the f1 doesn't show icons on top notification bar. It's supposed to be like that which is annoying as hell!

It depends from the theme you are using. Some of them has that feature some doesn't.

Notifications are not showing up in screen lock of POCO F1
I read all the blogs to fix this issue but a simple action made my notifications to pop up on my lock screen. Initially, when the phone gets manufactured, the software would have set some default value(ON/OFF) but the real value will be set for particular action only when the user explicitly sets it so, just try following steps which may solve your problem(Solved for me).

> Go to Notifications and status bar
> you will be able to see a toggle button of "Show on lock screen". Just make it as disabled and then enable it.
> then on the same screen select App notification.
> select any app for which you want to show up the notifications on lock screen.

For me, it started working fine only by disabling and enabling the toggle button of "Show on lock screen" and I have selected POCO F1 default theme which is a standard MI theme of POCO.
Nope, I am still not able to enable notifications on my lock screen in my new poco f1
I just updated to the new miui 12. The official update as my phone is not rooted.
Now I got the same problem, there are absolutely no notifications on the lockscreen. Why? Anybody else has the same problem?
Before you ask me, yes, of course I have enabled the notifications at the settings
