Impossible to get rid of "displaying over other apps" notification - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I've even tried this workaround but it doesn't work.

Only EMUI has this problems, and they seem so easy to fix, but probably they don't care.

Problem with Gravity Screen app

Hi. I have problem with Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The Keep screen on by motion seems broken on this phone.
Is there a solution?
Edit: seems like the app works only if i open app and keep it in foreground but if from multitasking i switch to a different app, then Gravity stops to work. I obviously set the app to work in background, etc.. but there is not difference. I need a solution.

Making the app device administrator may solve the issue

That is sad, Mate 10 is a good device with bad software. I regret not buying OnePlus 5t
I rooted the device, frosted Power Genius app, installed Gravity as system app, it works fine now.

Google Feed - Blank

Hi,
My Google Feed is blank unless I go into settings and come back out without changing anything. I've flicked between Feed Enabled and Feed Disabled but still nothing.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue on a BLA-L29 129 firmware?
Thank you.
did you try to delete the data of "google" app in the settings?
it happened to me and this resolved it

So far so good, thank you
I have tried deleting the data and restarting but I still have a blank page. The only way I can get it to work is by opening the google app in the play store....it is very strange
When you are on the google Now Site (blank) then give the command "ok google" - what happened then? In my case - then the results appear. This was the issue with the firmware BLA-L29 C432 129. BLA L29 C432 131 it startet with normal working. And finaly with BLA-L29 C432 137 first weeks same issue. No content on the site till "ok google" and since 2 Weeks everything is working well. I don't change anything in settings - one day doesnt work without ok google - next day works like expected.
the issue has returned for me. I am on BLA-L29 C432 129.

I have auto updates turned off permanently, but I selected update all by mistake, which caused the issue, at first thought it was something else, so went through clearing the data and cache.

Having the same issue here-tried following the steps to clear the data but to no avail. Yet another Huawei app problem. My BBC news widget fails to update constantly too.
Same problem here, when you open your feed click on the search bar and then on any free soave on the screen. It should come back for a bit. Very annoying

Since removing the update not had an issue, it also not just Huawei devices affected. My Pixel C tablet is showing Google Now without issues

Problem with HUAWEI device
Hi, I recently changed from a P20 PRO to a Mate 20 PRO, I used to check my google feed every now and then and I loved it, never had a issue, but since I made the change the feed is blank and in the options or configuration part the letters of the options are gray. I restarted the phone, installed older versions of google, etc. Some help please!

Mate 10 does not allow custom notification sounds?

I've been interested in using an SMS app called QKSMS, but it did not appear to support custom notification sounds. The dev for the app showed up in a Reddit thread and I asked him about it. He blamed the phone. Here's what he said:
"Prior to Android Oreo, apps had full control over the notifications. If an app wants to be able to use the Oreo APIs however, then it must forfeit control for most of the notification customization over to the system. That's why on your Mate 10 it takes you to the system settings screen to manage QKSMS' notifications, and on your HTC 10 it's handled by the app itself
Unfortunately, there's no way around this, as far as I'm aware. It's really strange though that your phone doesn't let you select a notification sound option - it might not let you control the sound per notification channel and just use the system default, which would be really unfortunate."
Anybody have more insight into this? Do our phones really not support custom ringtones in 2018?
I installed the QKSMS app on my HTC10 and it worked perfectly, ringtones and all.
I've also found that the Android Messages app, like QKSMS, does NOT allow me to set custom ringtones.
Link to discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/8pmz4q/comment/e0drjwx
Textra allows me to select a customized tone. Mate 10 non-pro. Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. You may need to elaborate.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. It works with Textra and with the stock Huawei messaging app, but not with QKSMS or Android Messages. I mentioned this to the QKSMS dev and this was his response:
"The reason it works with Textra is because they are targetting an older version of Android when they build their app, which means they're allowed to use the previous system for notifications.
This works as a temporary solution but this prevents the developer from being able to support any new APIs that are released, and eventually Google will block updates that aren't targetting a recent enough version of Android"
You're absolutely correct. This is a function of the Mate 10 software and quite annoying. I found a workaround through the app, AutoNotification. If you install that, and then go to "Notification Categories", it brings up all your installed apps and, voila, lets you set your notification sound choice. Make sure you opt out AutoNotification from battery optimization though.

Emui 9 fixes this on my Mate 10 I'm glad to say....

how is the emui 9.1 ?

As the title suggest.. if anyone here running the 9.1 beta on, please share to us how's the improvement on your device.. I know it's only available on Chinese handsets.. "like a small review"... Thanks
Yes Yes please do share! Ive been reading about this and I want it on my M2P. Does it really make the device efficient? anyone?
i've used a p30 pro in the store, all i can say is the gesture navigation feels more fluidly .... can't say how but it feels more snappy as on my mate 20 pro.
I'm curious to hear if the AOD will allow 3rd party notifications with 9.1

It depends on the compatibility between the 2 file systems involved (maybe not completely different...)
For example, about 15 years ago, starting from Windows XP, people was able to convert FAT or FAT32 disks to NTFS without reformatting issuing a simple DOS command:
convert drive: /fs:ntfs
I have a Mate 20 Pro, LYA-AL00 and I just received the 9.1 update (not beta). First of all, it was large - over 4.5 GB. Yes, third party app notifications are instant, BUT they don't provide a summary AND they cannot be removed from the lockscreen with a swipe. If they can be changed, I haven't figured it out yet.
Camera AI can now be turned on or off. I like that. The AI also seems to be faster.
IMO, I could take or leave this update.

Nope. Sure isn't
As for other new features, I haven't found them. Honestly, I want to roll back. The notifications thing really bothers me. Even on the drop down menu, third party notifications cannot be swiped away. You have to open the app to remove the notification. It sucks.
BTW, the Chinese update added FIVE bloatware programs, including a karaoke app, a browser, a news service, and a couple others I couldn't figure out. Thankfully, they were deleatable.

Computer Share not working after updating to EMUI 10.1 - The stub received bad data

Hi guys,
I really hope you guys can find a solution for this. The Computer Share feature under Huawei Share stopped working ever since I updated to EMUI 10.1, I also formatted my phone after the update.
After this, my PC refuses to connect to the device. I even googled for the solution but there aren't any. I even cleared the credentials but still it fails to connect.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.. thanks.

They just confirmed that is working ONLY with Huawei laptops (not all models!)! Shame! There are tons off apps which can do this. This is a rush to implement their own ecosystem, I guess, but without notifying users!

Yes. Previous attempt was while I had Google Play Services on my Mate 30 Pro which after 6-7 days stopped working. Then I've reset the phone back to stock and Huawei Share works great. I don't know if the GPS are the reason, but it's the single explanation.
