Hi,
I have noticed a bug where alarm does not give neither audible nor visual notification while do not disturb mode is on with alarms exception. This was tested on 119 and 128 firmware.
Could anyone test this for me so I know this is not just me?
Regards
Mario

Working fine here on 124 UK firmware.
Have you altered a setting in this screen?
Thanks mad.jack10 for testing this.
I have the same setting as yours. Did you test it while the screen was off?

Yeah screen was off, phone was charging.
Do you use ambient display? I don't

Yes I do, however it does not make any difference if I switch it off. I have reset the clock app even
UPDATE: OK, clearing the cache partition seems to fix the issue

On my side, since few days, on my new MATE10PRO, the alarm notification is always SET ON event if I've no alarm set...I've set ALARM off and on, I've resetted clock app, I've cleared cache partition...nothing works. Do you have any idea ?
Use the Google Clock (download from PlayStore). instead of the native Huawei alarm clock. Make sure you enable all the battery settings under battery / start, enable all the notifications (including making it a priority app) and disable battery optimizations under apps / special access.
Too much work for a simple alarm functionality!! I just got a Mate 10 pro. Not set it up yet. Going through the threads make me wonder if I made the right decision.
Huawei has always been and still kinda is about great hardware (or alternatively good hardware for not so much money) but weird software. Some software features are really great (better than stock Android even: screenshots, gestures, plenty of options in the settings, display color modes, app lock, one handed navigation etc.) but others are just worse than on other phones (e.g. lack of all the smart unlock options, battery saving features preventing widgets from updating or apps from staying open etc., lockscreen notifications not expanding etc). You really have to pay attention to the settings with Huawei phones, especially if its about power saving features because they tend to close apps rather than keeping them open. One thing that EMUI already does better than pretty much any other system (Samsung, LG etc. - except Stock Android) is that it's very smooth and fast and stays fast for a very long time (unlike Samsung phones). Hope this helps with deciding whether you want to keep the phone.
Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.
FIRST!
So, I've installed and tested and here are my initial findings:
It works great and looks gorgeous!
If you have your notifications set to display the notification contents, those contents will also flash on the screen.
The default display interval of 60 seconds works perfectly, but when I set it to 30 seconds, it flashed approximately every 10 seconds for some reason.
The notification it chooses to flash doesn't appear to be based on the most recent received or highest priority. Can you explain how the app knows which notification to flash on the display?
So far, there is no way to interact with the notification. Swiping away or double tapping do nothing.
The only way to wake the phone is to press the power button or fingerprint scanner.
This is a great start and I hope you please keep up the great work! I will be donating to the cause!

The times were accurate on my pixel 2, but my pixel 3 which only just arrived, was being stopped. Probably due the aggressive process killing I've read about. So this morning I quickly added a secondary wake to keep it from being killed. I'll sync the times when I get home from work.
It uses the natural order of notifications. A priority option would be a good idea.
No interaction yet, but that's planned. So is a blackout period (don't pulse when you're sleeping for example).
Ignore my comment about the notification priority - that was user error.
Feature request: Can you add an option to have the ambient display stay on (no pulsing) until the user bypasses the ambient display screen? The flashing of the ambient display is a little distracting when the phone is on a desk. This way, we could still tell at a glance when we have a notification waiting, but the screen will go back to all black once we act on it or simply unlock the phone.
I can try but it may not be possible without root.

I have been working on a similar app, and could not find a way to get this to work while still allowing the device to doze, so the battery life is heavily impacted. Did you solve the battery drain issue?

I haven't noticed a battery drain issue, but I'm hoping xda can help find one if it exists. I'm not actually turning on the screen so doze should remain active.

Ah, I see. I have not actually run your app. I did not realize that your were pulsing the notifications themselves -- that's clever! For my own implementation, I am animating a fake LED that fades in and out, which obviously requires the screen to be on. The AOD has a way to doze with the screen on, but I have not found a way to expose that functionality to an app without root.
Anyhow, I see you are using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle to schedule your pulses. I wonder what the battery (and timing) impact is compared to setAndAllowWhileIdle?
Nice work on this!
I originally went down the road of doing a custom screen to mimic the LED until I came up with this idea.
From other threads I've seen some people will prefer that even if it uses slightly more battery.

I'm willing to be a tester for you if you need one. Pixel 3, rooted with magisk.
There's now an option to be able to swipe to dismiss and double tap to open the app. I'm working on notification actions next.

Dude, you're a beast! Keep it up!
I may be able to use the real icons and colors. If so should I just remove the icon customization or would people still find that useful?
Hi mate, i bought your app right away. If you can integreat the original Icons for the famused apps, that would be great.
And can you look at the puls time? I set my time to 20 seconds but it puls every 40 - 50 seconds? Strange.

just as it is perfect now, only the repetition time does not work reliably
There is a possibility that the AOD stays on until the message has been read
Been looking for a way to customize the notifications since there's no LED light on this phone. I installed and bought you a coffee, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi is this app only usable to Google Pixel phones???
Man this sounds like an awesome app however I'm on an LG V30 (which also doesn't have an LED but this doesn't seem to work. The notification interaction feature alone would be worth the donation.
I'll mess around some more and see if I can get anything
Hey everyone,
This will be a Thread for collecting all the kinds of bugs and other issues you might have encountered.
I talked to the german FB group and talked about them sending them a collection of bugs etc from the community. They gave me an email address (from the communication team) where i can send it to once everything is done.
They will then proceed to send the information to the people developing for axon 7 (A2017G in this case). Of course it's not guaranteed that they will definitely fix all the issues. But it's worth a shot imo.
So at first it's important that bugs have the most importance in this thread since those have to be fixed in order to get an enjoyable oreo experience.
BUT you can also post any features you want to have back (examples are daydream, screen color calibration)
To get things finally started, here are the issues that i gathered so far from this thread:
-SD card mounting issues (SD card doesn't stay mounted after reboot)
-Increased battery drain (mixed opinion, some say it's worse, some say it's the same as nougat)
-Preinstalled apps which are uninstallable (like Accuweather, WPS Office) reinstall themselves after reboot
-Events set in Google calendar don't show a notification
-Bluetooth audio developer options (LDAC, 32bit, 96khz, etc) do not stick
-screencast not working on some miracast devices
-Panorama has lower vertical resolution (approximately 1900px while Nougat had 2800px)
-Charging sound file is missing (now it uses error sound file when connecting/disconnecting USB which sounds really annoying)
Missing Features that you wish to come back or added:
-Screen Color Calibration
-Daydream (which might come back since how they worded it to be temporarily disabled)
-Camera2 api not yet fully implemented
-Vulkan API (was present in Nougat, now removed in Oreo for unknown reason)
-Screen lock app (shortcut in quick settings to lock the device)
-Option to remove Carrier name in status bar
-Dark Mode option (preferably true black background for the while UI like quicksettings menu, settings menu etc for max SOT.)
-More sorting options for stock music player (by title number etc instead of by alphabetical order)
-ZTE Toolbox app
I'm sure there is more. But this is what i have found so far as of now. If there is any more issues you encountered, please post them so i can add them to the list.
Also if i missed any additional info for the issues above, please feel free to tell me.
- Dark mode option
- further dimming option (lowest brightness still too bright)
- screen off toggle/widget
1. Screen cast still won't work well, I never get it connected to miracast since nougat and they didnt fix it on oreo, all my other devices work so good with the same miracast.
2. Battery drain faster than nougat or I think this even worse than oreo beta build B01.
Feature:
- The alphabetical order on music folder for stock music is still annoying. No one hopes listening music from A to Z based on title.

I don't know if it's just me, but I have a bug where the download manager won't download anything for a long time despite having stable internet connection. This affects Play Store app downloads and downloads other than Chrome (since Chrome has its own download manager it seems). Basically, if I want to quickly download an app or update them, the initialisation starts but it keeps waiting for stuff to download. It won't abort with an error, it just sticks to the spinning circle. In the notification bar you won't see the download arrow animation, which should be there actually. But if I lay down my phone for a while and then pick it up, it may start downloading normally. It's very annoying, you can imagine m

I know what you mean. But it's not a bug from oreo. I had this too on nougat. Sometimes it still happens. But not as often as it used to be. Dunno what fixes it sadly, but thats probably an issue of play services messing up something since the axon 7 isn't alone. Many other devices have this problem as well sometimes. It comes and goes randomly.
And as you said, chrome and other apps with their own download manager don't seem to have these issues. Again, it's probably play services doing something wrong. Not sure tho, just a guess as play services had many problems in their history

What do you mean with dark mode? Like amoled substratum themes? Or like night light?
Poor wifi and 4g reception. This has been my main problem with this rom.

Quick settings, status bar and system settings are all unbearably white. Due to Google's safety measures you can't even use a third party filter anymore.
On Nougat you could change the quick settings to gray at least and use a third party filter for all the rest. On Oreo, no chance at all. What a bad user experience!
So why even bother with a system update, if it doesn't let you adjust the display brightness to your liking anymore?! And I haven't even mentioned the usefulness of an all white UI on an AMOLED screen (Battery!?).
Panorama has lower vertical resolution.
Nougat approx 2800px
Oreo approx 1900px
Signal issues
Hd calls work with incoming but call does not connect for outgoing
Band switching issue band keeps switching thats the main reason for battery drain on 4g
My network is Jio 4g in India
It works in band 3 5 and 40
3 and 5 bands work together but they wont work well with 40 that is they keep switching from one to other with internet connecting and disconnecting
So i switched off band 40 using network signal guru app with magisk root permissions and everything works fine except slow internet speed and persistent hd call issue
Can anyone make solution for band issue
If there is a possiblity to reduce the heat generated during simple tasks.
I had most of those issues: significantly worse battery life, camera freeze when using RAW capture, when I reseted the phone, everything is back to normal, maybe battery is like 5-10% worse than nougat but not sure. Can't say anything about the missing features. I want them too, but most of wanted a Stock + UI and now we complain ? vanilla Android lacks many features like it or not. Hope they release some future firmware update to fix any issues and update the security bulletin.

You had most of these because i used the same thread your post was in as well about the freezing raw capture with stock cam.
But you are the first and only one who had this happen with the camera. So far nobody else reported having the same issue.

I disagree on both of your statements. here is why:
1. It is possible to downgrade, but not with all official update.zip that exist (I succeeded in the meantime!)
2. It is a bug in the Oreo rom that the device type is not set, preventing majority of old update.zip to run since they check the device type
I am missing the stock Nougat 'lock screen' option in the Quick options menu. I am using an app to soft lock the screen at the moment which works but am not sure at all why they removed it in first place.
I am also missing the Messaging and Phone customization options available in Nougat, including the different message bubbles types and the background change settings. It is now simply white and blue and you couldn't change it.
I have had a hard time fixing the Notification problem Oreo brought to many apps, including system, resulting in oversleeping for alarm clock app not working at all. This may not be a particular problem of ZTE directly since apparently it is an Oreo issue but I still don't understand why so many notifications have been forced to the swipe-down menu without default option to disable them. Like "this and this process running in the background" and using default notification tone for every single thing happening to the phone. Adjusting settings in Android System notification modes solved some problems but delayed or not showed at all certain notifications like SMS messages or alarm clock not working - even though these were specifically made to pop and make sound.
Battery life for me varies. It may be up to 10-12 hours if I don't do almost anything and just keep it in stand-by to 3-4-5 hours if I use the screen, some browsing and listening to music. Screen-on-Time in general is up to 2-3 hours in best case scenario. Also sometimes for no apparent reason I see the battery percentage going down like every few seconds by 1 percent and with no use of anything special, just the screen. Overall I could rate it (a little) worse than Nougat considering that I've now gone through all Power settings and disabling anything I don't need per app.
I can only congratulate ZTE for making Dolby Atmos now working on both earphones and front speakers at all times, including with custom player equalizer running at the same time as Dolby Atmos. It never worked for me and was also accompanied with various bugs on all 6, 6.1, 7 and 7.1.
The "choose what your SD card should do" on every restart is pretty bad and I strongly prefer the Nougat behavior when it simply worked. Maybe adding a Setting - "do not ask again" or an option in the System Settings where you can change the status of the SD card on the go would work better than unmounting it every time. This causes many issues with file managers, players and different other apps with files located on the SD card. I hope they re-work it.
Finally, I noticed that Ultra Power Saver works in a much worse way than it did on Nougat. It kind of goes into another OS mode upon return from which it does not start apps that are set to auto-start upon reboot. The Nougat style of simply black-and-whit-ening the screen and turning off any data was so much better and didn't return the phone in a half-functioning state when connected to the charger. Also at 15% as I adjusted it, the middle power saving function (Power Saver or so) does not seem to be at least visibly working so the battery keeps draining as fast as if it was not on.
So, in short - dark(er) Quick Menu, getting back Nougat default app customization options, fixing the SD card message upon every reboot, not forcing TouchPal to be default keyboard or in use even if another keyboard is chosen, or disabling both, and possibly working on better battery life would be all amazing. I still think ZTE did a great job with 8.0 and am happy they finally released it to us.
The phone was frozen and restarted several times.
After that, fingerprint doesn't work and I had to reconfigure fingerprint record.

Holey Light is a LED emulation app. It animates the edges of the camera cut-out (AKA punch-hole) as replacement for the sadly missing LED on many modern devices.
Additionally, it provides a notification display for when the screen is "off", replacing - or working in conjunction with - the Always-On Display feature. As this display is not around the camera hole, it is aptly named the Unholey Light.
Supports all Samsung devices with in-screen camera hole, and several Google Pixels.
Features
Emulates notification LED
Four different display modes: Swirl, Blink, Pie, Unholey Light
Configurable animation size, position, and speed
Customizable color for each notification channel
Selects initial notification color by analyzing dominant color of app icon
Displays during screen "off", sub-1% battery use per hour in Unholey Light mode
Separate configuration modes for different power and screen states
Ability to mark notifications as seen based on various triggers
Respects Do-Not-Disturb and AOD schedules
Can hide AOD completely, partially, and/or keep the clock visible
Additional AOD Helper package for further battery usage reduction
All teh details and all teh sauce!
It's all on GitHub!

There's no selection dialog for a Wi-Fi network / Bluetooth device at all? Have you tried closing/reopening the app? Uninstalling/reinstalling it? Making sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both on and you're connected to something?
I do not know how to link the device/companion app manually, no. Until I needed it to work around a bug in the notification system, I didn't even know it existed.

Try un/reinstalling and rebooting.
I've seen others who use notification access comment it sometimes doesn't start, though I haven't encountered that behavior even once during testing.
Otherwise I don't know. Did you grant all the permissions? Did a device link pop up?
It could of course also be an internal crash. Check logcat.

I found out that it's working for Gmail and Samsung's Stock Email app, even when locked.
WhatsApp works, but only when unlocked and only when status bar is visible (so not for full screen apps).
Does your app stops the phone from going into deep sleep?

WhatsApp works fine for me, both locked and unlocked, so that's strange. What sort of full screen app did you test with? Might be Android hides the overlay when an app is fullscreen? Note it only works in portrait mode, there's no way to draw in the right place in landscape.

Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FibMTD5Mdx8
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for the Galaxy S20, S20 ultra, S10e, and Note 10 and noteplus devices. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off (sometimes this can cause the light to freeze to a white glow this will be fixed)
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music (does not work together with other indicators so other indicators will stop working if you enable music lighting this will be fixed)
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appearm, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both! (this only works for the only show ring and only when you set it to a solid color the option is not available for gradient colors which will be added later)
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
how do i disable individual notifications: currently this is a planned update, you can go into custom colors and set each app you don't want notifying to 100% transparent
light is constantly flashing even if i cleared all notifications: sometimes theres forced notifications such as when you're charging it will force a notification that says you're fast charging, the light will pick up on these you need to hold on these notifications and turn them off to stop the light there should be nothing at all in the notificationpanel, if you still have a flashing light with nothing in the panel contact me.
frozen light: music lighting will disable all other indicators same with battery indicator or battery temp indicator, you need to set custom zones otherwise the light will be frozen, glow also tends to freeze the light so turn that off if it's frozen (this will be fixed in a coming update)
How does it work if the front display is set so the camera is above the top of the display (as the OnePlus 8 can do)

Doesn't work on OP8 Pro with 'Hide the front camera' set in phone settings

Just tried it, and it doesn't work as you'd hope - the ring moves down with the adjusted screen position so it's no longer around the camera. I don't use my phone in that mode so it's not an issue for me.
On a happier note it's quite a cute app. Takes a bit of getting used to though.
One to watch out for: If the 'Enabled' switch is turned off (during the test process) then it drops the 'Accessibility Service' permission. Unfortunately the app doesn't realise that (seems to only test on app startup), so when you re-enable it the app then doesn't work (cos the Accessibility Service permission has dropped). To get around I 'force stopped' the app then started it again. It then does the service check and comes up with the pop-up.
Look forward to having a default 'Off' setting so I can enable only for a few specific apps - I have a lot of apps on there and setting them all to 100% transparent is more work than I fancy.
Cheers, Dave

could you explain what you mean by ring moves with the adjusted position, and thank you for reporting the bug.
Hi! Is it possible to get a code for the oneplus 8 notification light app? I'd be glad to test it out !
Thanks
On my Oneplus 8 IN2013 your ring stays a little bit outside the camera hole.
The camera is a little bit lower and to the left.
DM me if you need help.
In my device too the ring is a bit off. I attached a screenshot
This is a great idea. I miss the LED indicator so much after I bought oneplue 8. The position of the ring is not accurate, however, it locates a little up-right of the camera. Hope you can fix it and I will definitly give it a try. Thanks.
Awesome app, like it a lot - is there a way to send some money your way to get rid of the ads, too?
Registered for the Beta, hope it fixes the position issue on the OnePlus 8
Update: Just paid for the full version, got the beta, but none of the cutout settings have any effect on my OnePlus 8, cutout stays in the wrong position.
it seems, the developer was not accounting for the oneplus 8 and 8 pro being different screen sizes please try this file and tell me if it works

Hi zzcool,
at my Oneplus 8 the cutout isn´t placed around the punch hole, the cutout position can´t be chanced either.
Cheers!
Can I get a code for the app too?
Just tried it on the OP8,
The ring is set slightly wrong. The camera is a bit to the left and lower.
There are several problems with the app (in my op8). The ring always appears even if you unlock the screen. The ring cannot be adjusted around the hole of the camera. And most importantly, for the ring to show me when the screen is off I have to have the "Override system" option activated, but when the ring is activated the fingerprint sensor also appears (and does not disappear). This can burn the screen over time and increase battery consumption.
Would love to have code for this one
Great work !!
I'd like a code for the premium edition if you'd be so kind?
I'll leave a review on the play store when I've used it
Thanks!
