Notification icons in top left part of the notch - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

This is the most ridiculous thing in the poco F1, not sure why many people are not complaining about this in the review. Unlike in OnePlus6, a phone with notch, where you still get notification indication in the top left notch area, in poco F1 MIUI, except for time, we don't see any notification indication in the status bar.
Shouldn't there be a option to disable clock and show notification icon instead?

The AM/PM is so not necessary.

There should be option for on /off status bar icon.

Yeah, this is pretty annoying. Sadly, it isn't fixed in MIUi 10 either, since my niece's Redmi 6 Pro works the same. And it even doesn't have that wide notch, couple of notification icons could be easily fit on either side.

This is so annoying, I wish Xiaomi adds option to toggle time and icons

Interesting thing is for Bluetooth transfer, it's cutting AM/ PM and adding the Bluetooth icon

The same thing happens to me, it's a serious problem. I'm still waiting for it to be fixed in future updates.

As per my experience I wont be fixed soon, if sometimes. This is the issue with many Xiaomi phones and still persist in upcoming MIUI 10. This was a reason, why I turned back phone to seller.

Pretty annoying to see that nothing indicates there are notification in the notifications drawer once phone is unlocked. I don't care if they don't put the entire icon of WhatsApp or messages or just a couple of dots to show there are notifications in the notification drawer. Missed a couple of important updates from an app !!!

Not only is it a waste of screen space, it is annoying to always open the notification drawer to check which notifications, if any, have arrived

Let's see what they do.

"Interesting idea" is quite a joke?
They took away a standard android feature and now consider it is something new!

I feel like this person might be bullshitting us, Everytime he says it's interesting and that it will be fixed... It's a bit suspicious.

About the NOTCH

Is there any way we can actually disable the notch, I mean literally make it black and move the status bar below the notch , just like on normal smartphones?. Will that be possible with some mod in the future,or does such a thing already exist?
That is a nice solution but they would have to write code to disable the touch completely in that area and a lot of work will be involved in case an app tries to fill that area. Xiaomi doesn't likes to work, and they create more bugs with every fixes. I am not even mentioning how odd that will look, Xiaomi doesn't likes to work but they do care about the design and want their devices to be elegant. I have never never seen such a great looking cheap casing ever in my life, even Samsung can't achieve that.

I still don't see what the big deal is. You can see the icons if you slide down the notification bar. It's a little inconvenient but not at all frustrating or unacceptable. Sure they can fix that to some extent in the future through an update but it definitely is not a deal breaker. Using an IOS device for an Android User, That's Frustrating.

Raised my voice to POCO on status bar thing,

Let's see what they do.
No notification on status bar due to the notch is realy frustrating. Hardly 4 days of usage, I miss those notification icons on status bar. Its like they skipped step 1 for achieving god_knows_what. I have literally started hating the phone in 4 days itself. Trust me, its beyond frustrating. Its like you went back to Symbian OS -_-. How can they miss out on such a basic and addictive utility?!

Probably for the same reason they waste time to badly redesign Android's user interface instead of just using the standard Google layout.
At that point, that's the only reason I'm not buying this phone, until we see AOSP ports.
Would have been a no brainer if it was shipped with Android One instead of MIUI.
Well according to me, this might be the best way to overcome the notification icons problem.

I have exactly the same query. On checking several posts on internet, i have realized that 'Fullscreen' doesn't imply 'Include the notch' for notched phones. Am i wrong?
If there's only a way to include notch in all apps(playing video and games too) rather than excluding it. Seems like inclusion of notch as a part of screen for the complete UI in Poco would give a much better experience.

Disabling the notch on MIUI 10 Global 8.11.13

On previous MIUI versions I saw such option to disable the notch, however I don't see it on 8.11.13 no more. Any work around or suggestions? Thanks.

Until a better solution shows up - such as it being reintroduced in the next update - Nacho Notch is the best solution I've found. Just make sure you give it the appropriate permissions and set your powersaving such that Miui won't kill it constantly
hi. Apart from disabling the notch, how to disable that little 4-shortcuts-square-menu that comes on the top right or left corners in fullscreen apps/games. It includes screen capture video shortcut and other 3 shortcuts. I keep clicking the show-up-menu in those corners accidentally in games and its driving me crazy. Any help?
In game booster settings you can turn it off

On official Pie they disabled (or forgot?) the hide the notch option, hope they fix it for the next update....does someone knows if face detection is good on non official Roms? That´s my only reason for staying on stock Rom until now

EMUI 9: Return Network & Wifi icons to right of notification bar

Ahoy, XDA.
My Huawei Mate 10 pro recently updated itself to EMUI 9 (Android 9) and one change is really annoying me quite a bit: the network and wifi indicator icons are now positioned with the other, transient notification icons on the left hand side of the notification bar.
How can I move these indicators back to their proper place: the right hand corner?
I have been using Android since 2010 and, seriously, I never asked for and don't want such a pointless change. I like to have the left hand corner clean -- meaning all transient notifications have been dealt with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It only simulates having a notch, which makes no sense at all when the phone doesn't have one, and it makes the statusbar icons lower

I just received the update today. Saturday January 26th. Certain icons to the right don't bother me either.
It appears that they made the active icons to the left and the static ones, i.e., battery and time to the right. Seems logical to me and less clutter on one side only.
Any solucion?
My Mate10pro was automatically updated with emui9 as well. I agree that the mobile network and wifi status icons are VERY ANNOYING on the left side. In my understanding the status bar should show status icons on the right and notifications on the left side. It is simple as that.
Any idea how to fix this and return the icons to their proper place???!

Notifications fixed? If so, I'm gonna buy this phone again!

Hello xda-people!
I have just one simple question.
I bought this phone like 2 months ago and sold it like a week later, because I couldnt handle not showing notifications because of the notch.
It was like "show for 3 secs and then show the clock again"
I kinda hated that, although I think the phone is just good for 260€.
My question now:
Is that fixed? If so, how's it now?
P.S.
I want to stay on MIUI, since I really like it.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Touch issues and stuff like that still persistent?
Any other issues?
Still not fixed, another feature brought to you by the flagship of compromises.
Never settle bro
Not as of now, but seems they do plan to make it better. Just note that I'm using a notification mod and it works so well. You can check xda for the link and steps if you still plan to purchase the phone again

Same here thats why im using miui with notification mod and touch issues hone with custom kernels..
Forget it!
Suggest u to buy Lenovo z5 pro gt.
2. Notification dismissed from status bar, expect to keep notification showing in status bar
As the space in status bar is limited for POCO and POCOPHONE, after testing with a group of beta users we picked below 2 solutions:
Keep AM/PM status and a notification indicator when there are unread notifications;
Remove AM/PM status so we could put more notification icons in status bar
Feel free to share us your preference.

Question Hide Notch option

Hey All !
I'd like to know if anybody knows if there's an option not to hide the notch in the system, i can't find that in the settings, even in Notifications & Control Center/Status Bar.
That's kinda annoying because i have a black bar on some full screen apps.
(Btw i'm running MIUI 12.5.7 China Stable)
Kind regards,

If the issue is with the notch, you want to take a look at developer options, but if the issue is with full screen apps is in the settings from the app to allow or not displaying them in this mode.
Thanks for your reply !
I already looked for these 2 settings,it doesn't remove that black bar on my status bar. I didnnt have that on my mi 9t, that's why it bothers me

Hey Guys !
So I flashed the xiaomi.eu ROM and there is the same issue, i tried SubwayChamp's method without success because i can't install the apk found in the guide
I don't know what to do, it's really dumb to have such a bar with the mix 4 screen...
Crazy isnt it, buy a phone with an under display camera and still get screen missing, i think the only phone i had that worked perfect was the Oneplus 7 pro.
Probably you can try by "moving" the screen (or simulating to do that) by reducing the screen tall.
If this method is still available in the current android version, you can try it https://nerdschalk.com/change-screen-resolution-adb-android/
For example, the resolution in MM4 is 2400x1080 if my source is not wrong, so you can do by trial-and-error 2370x1080, if not then 2350x1080 till get a comfortable view.
In MIUI-12.5 there is no option of moving screen smaller by reducing screen tall. They removed this option. This is causing problem, some notification icons get hidden under the front cam notch. Irritable thing.
Once you have Magisk installed, use this module
Tried with Xiaomi.eu, works perfectly
Without Root, any solution?
@Uometydev Nice, it's better than nothing, it would be perfect to find something that doesn't require ROOT.​

Hello guys, I am considering to buy Mi Mix 4 and it is really difficult to find info on this other than youtube reviews all saying same stuff.
My question is, if I use the stock ROM and no root, will I get this black bar or notch sometimes? I thought the camera was always hidden?
Second question is, how invisible is the camera really? On some video reviews, when the screen is off or on a white background, I can see the circle for the camera, but someone said it is just the cutout on the screen protector. So the screen protector has a hole for camera? Anyone tried removing the screen protector? Is the cutout or the camera completely invisible then?

Hey !
I had that black bar when i received the device on an official ROM, it may be fixed later tho (or have been fixed on official).
As i'm using xiaomi.eu Rom atm i can't tell but i still got that issue on some apps with EU rom, to me, that's the only drawback the phone has atm.
The camera is really hard to see, you can see it when you're screen brightness is low mostly on dark grey colors. When you're using it with full or 75% brightness it is slightly visible on dark colors (except black where it invisible because of the OLED) but it is really good and million times better than a hole punch.
Imo it is not an issue : I never bought a phone with a notch because i can't stand this and believe me, the UPC on the MIX 4 is amazing.
