Hello, I am a proud owner of a Huawei mate 20 pro. Everything about the device is pretty much solid. I don't have much to complain about, other than the fact that, I experience a slight problem with the notification panel. Whenever, I play a game such as PUBG and I get a text message, I pull down the N. panel and everytime I do that, it doesn't fit onto the screen. This happens on landscape mode btw. Like, I can't answer my messages through the notification, because it gets pushed into this weird view. I can tap on answer, but that pushes my keyboard on top of what I'm typing, that way it's impossible for me to see what I'm typing.
I think it's because the panel is just too large.
This wasn't the case on both my Galaxy S8 and Note 8.
I will try and make a screenshot of this, the next time it happens to me.
Does anyone else also experience this issue? If so, is there a fix available? Thanks in advance.

I added 2 photos. The black one is the original Notification panel of the phone itself. The white one is from an app called power shade. You can see the difference in length.

I saw the idea posted somewhere previously that instead of getting the capacitive lights on, we really should be putting the phone's AMOLED screen to work ! specially that it doesn't consume any backlight energy when displaying a black screen. So I developed an app that does just that, upon receiving a notification, it will display a black screen with a red dot somewhere in the left top corner. Ok, i really should put these in bullet points..
the application does the following:
1. When your phone receives a notification, it switches the screen on and displays a red dot somewhere in the top left corner. The location of this dot is random every time you receive a new notification. This will guarantee using different LEDs so that the same ones won't be burned out ! The reason why I chose red is because it uses the least amount of energy to display.
2. The app runs as a service, after installing, you'll need to lock the screen once and unlock it for it to activate. After this, the application should run automatically after a reboot.
3. To get rid of the red dot, the only key you can use is the home key. Using the capacitive touch buttons will do nothing, and so as clicking anywhere on the screen. Once your screen turns on, the notifications disappear and will not come up until a new notification sound is received.
I have also logged the touch drivers and saw that although I'm displaying a black screen and setting flags to not respond to touch messages, android is still receiving touch messages when you touch any spot on the screen. This, I imagine, consumes resources! So I disabled the touch drivers when the black screen is active. Pressing on the Home button should reactivate it. If your screen is unresponsive to touch even after the notification screen is dismissed, a simple restart should take care of it. Once you've restarted, you can uninstall the app.
Now the touchscreen drivers were a lot easier to mess around with. The sourcecode given by samsung helped me achieve the activation/deactivation of the screen. Things are not the same with the capacitive buttons. You'll notice that when the black screen is on, if you touch any of the soft buttons, they'll light up (although am suppressing them programatically). Am still analyzing the drivers to see if there is an easy way to disable these drivers too when the notification is on.
One more note, make sure the notification sounds that you choose for your different apps (Calendar, Gmail, Gtalk.. etc) are the default samsung notifications or the ones you placed in /sdcard/sd/media/audio/notifications
Any other sound notifications will simply not trigger the program to display the notification screen.
I just want to let you guys know that this is a beta app. Install it at your own risk.
Enjoy ! Comments and feedback will be appreciated

Thanks for the heads up, but after reading the thread I think I'll wait till it's been tweak a bit more.
That's a good idea, but if it's going to flash using the screen, why no take advantage of the fact that it's a SCREEN and flash an icon instead of just a little red dot?
For example, use the same system icons that appear in the notification bar when messages are received / calls missed, etc. And if you're worried about burning out pixels you could make it change location every minute or so.
Just my $.02
that was mentioned in the original thread... I think it is a good idea... I cant wait to see how this grows...
Does this require your GS to be rooted?

the idea of a full icon was mentioned, but just like a blinking led, the idea here is to keep the notification using as little power as possible. Not sure if the power usage would be more or less showing one pixel or a whole icon.
Obviously 100+ pixels would use more power than just one but the screen is very power conservative. I think it's at least worth a try to see if it really impacts the battery that much.

I have it on my phone atm, it's not rooted. Seems to be working fine.
doesnt work if you have No Lock installed too
Umm..i have nolock and it works fine. Try turning it off, then lock and unlock your phone, and turn it on again. Should work.

It was hurting battery leaving the screen on even though it was just red. I uninstalled it from manage applications and now my screen won't turn on once it is off, I have to pull the battery. Anyone know if doing a clear storage wipes the internal SD card?
+1 for icon notifications
If we can't have a real led, lets look cooler than all the other phones and have little icons of e-mail, sms, and missed calls. It would be nice.
and make them loook purrrrdyyyyyyy iphone-esque
Installed this today and so far so good. Sure it would look better with actual icons but if it saves me from having to unlock my phone all the time to look for new messages then I'm happy.

Not sure why this thread is not getting enough attention when there were so many people begging for a notification app to come out?
Thanks for making the app, will try it out soon. Will give feedback as soon as I get it.
Not working for me at all. Tried default sounds, custom sounds, with puzzle piece, without puzzle piece, etc. Even tried a reboot. Yes, the service is running.
Samsung Vibrant
EDIT: Just worked, but seriously took like 10 minutes before the screen flashed and the red LED started blinking.
I'm having a problem with it as well. I see it running, but it doesn't notify me except for the initial notification. Also it seems to just keep the screen on.
I'll keep playing with it to see off I can figured it out.

I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
First of all, I'm new to Android phones and this forum I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, if not, let me know.
I've purchased a Cubot One, knowing what I can expect and it really works fluently, but it comes with an issue, annoying sometimes.
Left half of the screen flickers (in a very exact way, just left half), depending on what it's showing. For example, desktop 1 shows the wallpaper and icons flickering, but if you go to desktop 2 that effect disappears. It never happens in an open app, except if it's showing a bitmap or icon, and not always. If you're in the block screen it never happens. If you're using, let's say, Whatsapp app the screen is perfect, and in most of apps.
I make a complain to the seller and waiting for their diasnogtic, but I thing it could be a software issue, so I'm writing here. Could anybody make any suggestion?
Thanks
Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.
@Oppo-newbie
Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
As you can see in the title, I'm having problem with onscreen keyboard inserting multiple letters. I'm sure it didn't happen when I initially got the s7+. I've tried on both Samsung keyboard and gboard. Gboard has been a little better. I've also disabled swipe typing. I notice that when hovering over the screen on the s7+ and my z flip, buttons are highlighted or pressed without touching the screen. Is there a way to stop that as I think that's the problem.
Did search before posting but found another post on same issue woorded ddiffferently.

TEST...
I've aadd a Glasprotoctor on the screen..,The only response on the screen with a normal keyboard is max 0.5mm in front of the screen.
So no issues are visible on my side.
Really?
I also experience this on my Mi9 Lite. Also on my MSI laptop but not that often. Maybe its realted to the OS hiccups? Is it really that bad?
