Notifications Mate 20 Pro - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

hello everyone
i have a few questions about notifications on Huawei mate 20 pro. First, i can't swipe notifications down on the lockscreen to see the full message. I only see the first line. That is very annoying! I had a s9+ before this one and i liked the swiping down of the notifications. Second I also don't see notifications on the always on display. I mean, what's the point of it if you only see the time, date and battery?
Are these things just in the EMUI or can i change it? And would it help if we send emails to them? Oneplus for example listens to their community. Is huawei like that or more like Apple who gives a **** about the community?
i hope you guys can help me!!!
PS: I know that my English isn't great, so i don't need comments on typos :silly:

Need to go into face unlock settings and can turn off the hide notifications before unlock option.

because you need to follow what they said. Its set by default to HIDE them. this will allow them

i don't think you understand me. I CAN see notifications and i CAN see what's in the message but i CAN'T expand the notification to see the FULL notification.

I was saying this since day 1 lol. found out if you tap precisely on the little arrow on the top line of the notification it expands them all. I would screenshot but returned my Mate 20 Pro this morning for a refund.

Yeah, it expands but it still don't show everything. Why did you return it?

My first one had green screen which was annoying in itself. but I just didnt unbox the replacement so it was easier to return
but yeah:
Notification issues (missed calls just dont really show anywhere unless you open the dialer app too)
Issues unlocking the device - face unlock didnt work very well and I followed the advice to set it up with my face being lit from the front, fingerprint reader didnt work very well for me either and I had tried deleting and adding my fingerprint a few times too - would work fine for the first day. I would always end up having to enter the pin number to unlock it which also annoyed me that I could have a pattern unlock - would have been quicker to do a pattern than a 6 digit pin.
Silence from Huawei on updates, bugs and green screen issue.
I purchased simfree unlocked from a general store and not a network but it still relies on my network for updates.
Camera was great but it did take work to take a good pic - all this please hold still to sharpen and stuff. I never managed to take a quick snap that was in focus lol
Gone back to the Pixel 2 and saving my money for next year, if this gets root and stock android and maybe a hardware revision to elimiate all green screens then I'll come back to it though!

All your points are spot on, except that after a bit of work, i can get incredible camera shots, but I would also add:
Notifications appear and then disappear sometimes, or appear again after I've got rid of them
Swipe down from middle of the screen should be notifications, and not search
No swipe up from bottom of screen to access flashlight etc... like you can do on the lock screen...
Automatic brightness often switches down while I'm unlocking the phone, probably because i'm covering some light while reaching for it, and then doesn't ramp back up, so have turned this off
Native Email Client gets emails 15 - 30 mins after the gmail app...
Mine is a Vodafone UK Pre-Order, LG screen, current screen status:

For anyone else on Vodafone, what are you doing about yours? I'm thinking to hold off replacing as long as possible to try and get a better screen

I agree with both of you. The software is bad imho. I have a LG screen but no green screen problems. I am thinking to return it because of the bad software and the screenproblems. But what phone should i go with then? The only phone that has a lot incommon with the mate 20 pro is the note 9. Maybe pixel 3 xl but it has way less battery, less ram, no super charging...

I would have Huawei over Samsung any day of the week

I have Samsung S9, LG G7 and now this Mate 20 Pro.. honestly Huawei is amazing piece of HW, but the software side is way behind LG or Samsung.
You will just spot all the missing features during daily use. There are so much useful things that works on LG/Samsung, but are missing on Huawei.
Is there some official email, or developer forum, where we can post feature requests?

[APP][Experimental] Windows Mobile 7-like gestures

Hi all.
Highly experimental app I've been working on. It basically uses the accelerometer and ambient light sensor to handle gesture events.
Current features:
- Wave to answer
- Wave to ignore
- Autolock when dark
- Turn to unlock
- Shake to save
It works well on my Fuze, but I'm not sure about other HTC devices.
Also, it needs the .NET Compact Framework.
Any feedback, let me know!
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQBrqpa7_Wg

Dont work on HTC Imagio is cause dont have ligth sensor?
great idea
Very nice idea!
I dont know how to "turn like a key" though
Will post more feedback when I try a phone call.. its 5 AM here now
very nice application....i saw the video clip...good....is it possible to make the wave and it will activate the speaker mode...this will be a good feature when we're driving..
Thanks will test it out
Awsome!
The autolock feature is a bit touchy on my TP2. Even on the less sensative setting it still will autolock on and off. Not a feature I want though so no worries.
Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback, all!
About the speakerphone feature, I have it added in the latest version. If anything comes up that needs fixing, I will add that, but otherwise you should see an update later today
Sorry I never got back to you about the PoC gesture app earlier.
I've just tested out this new experimental app - cool idea!
I was able to get 'Wave to answer' and 'Wave to ignore' going easily enough when the TP was on my desk and on a chair closer to the window. I had to wave a couple times to get the desired response but found that if I move my hand across the light sensor for about .5 seconds around an inch above the phone it was pretty consistent.
I couldn't get the 'AutoLock' working consistently. If I cover the light sensor with a piece of paper or put the top 80% of the phone into a cloth bag it doesn't lock. A few times when I was covering the light sensor with my hand the lock screen flashed up but disappeared again without me having to unlock it.
It took a bit to figure out how to unlock the lock screen but from watching your YouTube video and playing around I can do it easily. It seems best to grab the phone between my thumb and index finger with my thumb on the lock icon (so it is green). Then I flick the bottom end of the phone quickly 90 degrees and back. It is harder to do when holding the right way up - it seems that the bottom end needs to have the motion rather than the top end.
'Shake to Save' is sweet, however, it was inconsistent for me. I'm not sure if there is a particular shaking orientation that works best (it is hard to tell in your video). When it worked it was quick and easy.
At about medium sensitivity the average light sensor reading is around 14 when sitting on my desk on a cloudy day. If I set it on a chair closer to the window I get an average of around 25.
I am using ChangeScreen - a g-sensor orientation flipper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488 I've set an exception for 'gesture' but it hasn't seemed to helped (well, it does prevent the Gestures app from changing orientation when I tilt/shake the phone).
Nice experiment!

Thanks for the feedback.
The sensitivity does not affect how much the light reading is, nor the G-sensor sensitivity. It has more to do with how much of a light change counts as a gesture.
As for shake to save, the program currently uses the Z vector to tell if its shaking. This is pure force (up/down) of the phone, but it's been very hard to activate even for me.
I'm going to switch it to X or Y once I get ready to release the new version, just to make it easier.

I feel silly asking but the Z axis runs along the length of the phone, from the mic end to the speaker end? And the X axis runs from side-to-side, while the Y axis is the thickness (screen-to-back of battery)?
Here's a diagram. It's for a wiimote, but I guess its the same principal:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The important thing to note is that the X and Y are based on rotation, while Z is based on G-force (gravity) pulling on it.
would love to use this app
how do I update my .NET Compact Framework so that is works?
thanks
Google .net CF 3.5. Download and install. i believe it can install through active sync and cab directly.
nice
look nice, will give it a go and get back with the feedback
Did some changes with the Shake to save, and add auto-speakerphone.
Should be the same download link, but if you have problems let me know (Visual Studio is deploying kindof weird):

Questions... does the app stay resident in the background so that any gesture will trigger the actions? how's the battery drain?

Yes it does, the battery drain is fairly insignificant I think, but I'm not a battery junkie so I haven't really compared it.

Mate 10 Pro Gmail Notifications Delay

I just acquired the Chinese version (BLA-AL00) of the Mate 10 Pro and seems to have some problems with notifications. I haven't been receiving most of my gmail notifications (only once did the phone vibrate and a notification pop up on my lock screen) and can only see my emails when l I turn on the phone and open the app. What's the fix for this? Thanks
I'm having same problem with yahoo mail
I've tried things like putting your app as "priority" and a few other things I've read on other websites but still no luck on getting my notifications to work correctly.
I would also like to add that even when I open the app, it can take a few seconds for the new emails to pop up. I'm going to assume this mostly a problem with the Chinese version of the software? The phone didn't come with ANY google apps preinstalled (gmail, youtube, chrome, googles maps, and play store)

I'm a note 8 user same problem that you have but my problem got resolved like this :
I've entered in battery optimization
saw the Gmail app putted to sleep by the battery optimization
Unchecked from there and it worked
Btw should I change note 8 for Mate 10 pro? Or should I keep both?

I'm not sure how to follow those instructions. Anyways, I too was thinking about getting the note 8 or this phone. If I would do it again, I would of gotten the note 8. This phone has given me nothing but headaches.... I'm actually thinking about selling it if I can't get these notifications to work correctly. I just noticed WhatsApp notifications aren't coming through for me either...

I believe your problem relates to Huawei's aggressive battery optimisations - check my post on another thread here for instructions on how to resolve it.

Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Apps -> Settings (the cog at the bottom of the screen) -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation
... then set your critical apps to "Don't Optimise."
I'm assuming by "don't optimize" you meant "not allowed"? The choices are to "allow" the certain app to ignore battery optimization or "not allowed"
Huawei's battery optimization feature doesnt works, launch settings does not works. Its a bull**** phone, and all this huawei optimizations, kills every ****ing app as soon a screen got locked, no matter what seetings i choose, nonetheless with all this huawei ****, battery is still dieing after couple of hours of usage.

I'm not sure whether different regions of the firmware (or differences between Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro firmware) word things differently, or if you're in a different section of the settings - so I've assembled a series of screenshots to make sure we're both on the same page;

Make sure you select "All Apps" from the list (otherwise it'll only show you the apps which aren't getting forcibly killed). The last two screens show the options that come up when you click on an app.

Doesnt helps. Easiest way to check is an app that does something while off screen. No need to wait for a mail to come.
Here's a screenshot, that proves I disabled battery optimisation, and that doesn't changes anything. As soon I lock my screen, the app is killed, and everything that app has to do, does after I unlock the phone... That's really my last time I buy Huawei.. was really glad about mate 9 pro untill updates ****ed up everything and ruined all phone experience I had. Now the same story with mate 10pro just from the beginning...

I'd dare suspect that the app you have immediately above "Flash Alerts 2" might have something to do with your problems. Have you been manually updating the firmware? Possibly with something which Huawei didn't intend to be installed on your 'phone?
Have you performed a factory reset after installing non-standard (i.e., not supplied OTA) firmware, as you're supposed to? There've been plenty of times during my experimentations with other 'phones that I've flashed new firmware and had very strange results until I performed a factory reset.

AOD Customizer Module [UPDATE: 11.20.18 v1.0.2]

This is a simple yet cool module to customize the AOD Display on the Galaxy S7. Only S7 is supported currently because that is the phone that I currently own and can test with.
Whats it do?
As of 3.8.18:
- Allows for a text label to be displayed below the icon. This text label is of the "title" parameter from the notification itself. If the notification uses a "RemoteViews" layout, then the "title" parameter will be empty and no label is shown. It works great with Textra SMS and Snapchat to show who they are from. I can customize each notification per app but need a list of apps to further support.
- The text label is fully customizable, text color, size, and maximum width are fully adjustable.
UPDATE: 6.22.18
- Added a crap ton of stuff.. See screenshots
To Do:
- I might add long press on icon to clear notification (if this is possible, I think it is though.) <- Not possible
- Also, possibility for full customization of the clock and positioning of everything. As of now, the defaults are fine with me personally <- Still thinking about this, might make it so you can literally make your own
- Music controls always on bottom of display (maybe) <- Moved to below notifications due to reasons

Hi
I have an s7 (SM-G930F) but with the AOD layout I have... the text is almost completely gone.
For ideas you can maybe look at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-galaxyxmod-t3410719
All I miss is the grouping of same notification. For example: I loved too see the Facebook-notification-icon with just the number of notifications below that. Instead of like 4 separate notifications-icons.
And maybe how it could add a picture to any AOD layout.

Does the module not work on your phone? I actually have the S8 apk installed on my phone because it looks better. Can you try the module? If you already did, can you give me the xposed log and screenshot of the aod display?
Thanks!

Hmm, my layout did that the first time too, but I fixed. Can you send me your aodservice apk? Also sorry for the "PIZZA TIME" that was my default if a title couldn't be retrieved xD I thought I got rid of it, guess not xD.
As for the grouping, I saw in the code, there seems to already be a method there. I will see why its disabled but I can always add my own.
But what I am understanding - 5 people message you via Facebook messenger, you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it? I can do that, thats quite easy. I prefer having all 5 expanded with the names, so I can reply to one. Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?
Replacing image is no problem, just know that it will consume battery faster when a non black and white image is present.
Hope you can add s8 support someday, it looks kinda cool

What is not working? I need more info than this.. an xposed log would be helpful too.
Working for galaxy a5 2017 as well
ok it works on s8+.
Thanks for this great module!
Suggestion for future function: add a second or even third line of notification icons instead of the plus sign on stock.
My device is s8+.

Do you know how many notifications are required before that plus is created? I noticed in the code a "Max notifications" variable. Adding the feature of multiple lines shouldn't be too difficult

Hmm, my layout did that the first time too, but I fixed. Can you send me your aodservice apk? Also sorry for the "PIZZA TIME" that was my default if a title couldn't be retrieved xD I thought I got rid of it, guess not xD.
As for the grouping, I saw in the code, there seems to already be a method there. I will see why its disabled but I can always add my own.
But what I am understanding - 5 people message you via Facebook messenger, you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it? I can do that, thats quite easy. I prefer having all 5 expanded with the names, so I can reply to one. Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?
Replacing image is no problem, just know that it will consume battery faster when a non black and white image is present.

Sorry for the late reply.
Wow I see my screenshot was pretty big.. Didn't see that on my mobile
Didn't even see the "'PIZZA TIME' either.
I see in your second post you already do grouping? That looks good.
"you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it?"
I don't really understand this one, but if I get 2 notification I would like to see 1 icon with: (2).
"Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?"
Sound good. But double tap is already a function on the icon's. So maybe long press or something? Or make it an option in what way to acitvate?
AOD apk is attached.

Do you know how many notifications are required before that plus is created? I noticed in the code a "Max notifications" variable. Adding the feature of multiple lines shouldn't be too difficult

Haven't noticed yet, will check when I wake up in the morning, that's when I have a lot of notifications. Lol
Lol, took me 10 mins, still haven't figured out how to attach a screenshot.
Anyways, only 4 icons were shown before the + sign was introduced, but I think that's because my icons ass more spaced out due to long titles(didn't use title wrap in the app), and out of the 4, 2 were grouped notifications. Hope this is useful.

Yep! Its definitely 4! I found the code. Now just gotta figure out how to add a new row.. Shouldn't be too bad. Just gotta find time. Have a paper due and an exam on Friday.
Also, for the notification title that is really long, I can make it so it scrolls across instead of wrapping (i think, things behave differently in AOD due to making sure the device can deep sleep)

Great idea for the scrolling titles!
But can you make it optional, because not everyone would want it that way.

Help in notifications

Dear all, i don't get any notifications in the status bar for anything as i used to get in other phones, also there is no notification led ligh, is this normal in the phone not to have these features as I can't find any option in the settings to bring them up
Read some reviews stating it might be a bug. Expect next update to resolve it. Don't really know if there's a notification led present or not.
There's a notification led at the bottom chin.
There is no space for notifications!!
Hi all,
I just received the delivery of F1 today. The phone is exceptionally good, but this notification thing is a huge irritant. The notch in this phone is rather big, and the remaining notification space is taken up by battery, wifi, phone signal on the right and time on the left. This leave no room for any other notifications! One of the best and most necessary feature of android (ie missed notification badges on status bar) is as good as disabled. I hope xiaomi does something about it. This is simply unacceptable.

Yup, seems like every other details that were supposed to be shown in status bar will now have to be accessed by expanding the notification shade ( pull down notification). This applies to battery percentage, network speed, app notifications and etc. It's kinda bummer as I keep missing out on replies from messaging apps due to this. Hope they fix this fast.
Actually they should have mentioned that as really if i would knew it i wouldn't have bought this phone as it is very annoying if the phone is silent i miss everything as also the notification led at the bottom is not working they should fix that
Settings -> Notifications and status bar -> Show notification icons

Go to settings -> Full screen display -> Turn off notch
I have simply kept my phone back inside as I am waiting for case, tempered glass and my bootloader to get unlocked. Until then, I am back on my Redmi Note 5 Pro.

I just received an update MIUI 9.6.14.0. However, it didn't fix the notification situation. Anyways, I tried to understand this issue further. I tried the one-handed mode (OHM) to see if the notification displays the app notification badge. Unfortunately even in OHM the notch seem to a predefined UI cut out as opposed to a dynamic status bar. I also noticed that despite "Show All Notifications" is set on "On the lockscreen" settings, no notifications are displayed there as well. Either I'm really missing something, or there's a real bug on POCOF1 notifications.
On a side note unrelated, I really feel that the right side notch space is poorly managed. I believe the time, battery + percentage + mobile signal could be easily accommodated this space, leaving the left side notch area for app notification badge and what not.
That's the exact screen i have as well. No option to show notification badge
There is no option like this telling show notification icons where did u find it

Turning Off the notch just makes the status bar background black so that it mearges with the notch. It does not actually disable the notch. Still no notification badges.

In Android 9 Even if your phone has notch you'll see the notifications on left side with small icons. I think it will take a month or so or maybe they'll introduce it with MIUI10 update

That is one of the most popular feature of Android 9
Facing the same dam issue its highly annoying as i have missed some very important msgs phone was on silent mode n i missed them. This is highly unacceptable I have to scroll down after some time to see the notifications again and again.
Is it possible to return it to Flipkart ?? I am already unhappy with the Netflix issue on top of that this issue.

Sucks. Need to raise this issue to Xiaomi. Just discussing here wouldn't help I guess.

ANDROID 11 BUG & PROBLEMS [Original Firmware Xperia 5 ii]

Hi guys, I want to use this Thread for share the bugs and the problems of android 11 update from sony.
In the end I'll can share all this bugs to Sony Developers and hope for a fix.
My device: Sony Xperia 5 ii [Firmware Vesrion: 58.1.A.1.178 Android 11]
Problems & Bugs:
1- When you get a notification with the always on display: the icons of apps that have a notification are no longer displayed example: instagram or telegram icon are not displayed in the always on display.
2- In multitasking the ability to copy text directly into any app has been removed (it was a new android 11 feature that sony apparently removed) .
3- The application drawer now (in android 11) has a completely black background in "dark mode", and not dark gray like the previous version. (there is no possibility to set dark gray) .
4- The shutdown screen is not adapted to the 21: 9 screen and is too far up and difficult to reach.
5- The flashlight when used makes very little light compared to any other smartphone. Problem also of the last android version.
6- There is no possibility to use android's original Theme and Backgrounds system to change interface color and icon shape.
7- [!NEW] Black screen when you make a screenshot on videos.
8- [!NEW] The notification light blink too slow and is not easy to see if you get a new notify.
If you find a bug or problem please reply
• Little update 02/03/21 (MM/DD/YY): I contacted sony from the chat in real time and I reported all this bugs to developers.

I'll add increased battery drain.
I had a random reboot about 3 hours after updating. Can't be sure it was anything to do with the new version as I wasn't using the phone at the time. Just saw it go off and the SONY boot screen appear.
i got two reboots, one during typing a whatsapp message and the other when i plugged it into a charger
Got another one this morning, only realized when i took the phone out of my pocket and it asked me to enter pin
Grr, another restart, so I did a backup, factory reset and a restore.
Fingers crossed that does the trick

That does sound like a lot of reboots! I've not had any since the one on the first day of update.
Struggling to see that much benefit or difference to Android 11 if I'm honest. I like the screenshot in task switcher but nothing much else new. More negatives if anything! Someone else posted about the black screen when holding the power button for example.
I've just noticed notifications history doesn't show. The 'Notification log' is empty.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue but my always on screen is showing out of date notification icons. The ones in the attached picture show notifications I've definitely swiped away previously!
My always on display is set to display on movement but I can't see changing that option will make any difference to the icons.
my sony 5ii XQ-AS52, is working in a very weird way
caler id- when im having one cal at the time, everything is a okay.
geting caller id of a waiting call while im all ready in another call isnt working. i can hear sound of another call but no caller id just black screen
ui- when you open app and return to home screen, the the apps that are pin to the uper spot of the screen are starching up in very weird and unatural way. its not consistent.
sudden mute- Microphone stops working intermittently during calls.
geekbench- 30 percent drop in performance tests
some thoughts:
i tried to get humen suport from google, regarding to stupid problem with chrom freezing sins the day of android 10, but they are only referring to useless articles.
this inst the first/second/fifth android version, this isnt the fisrt time this tsunami of bugs is raining on users affter major system update, so why the hell this procedure isnt improving??
its make me very angry to see how many people with different devices having so much troubles
pepole that spent a lot of hard erning money for their smartphones.
in time perspective, android is getting more and more restrictions (no call recording, lot of google blotware pre install and more) the opposite of what brought her to success
how come pepole pays for working devices and google is ruining them and taking the time(or just politely ignore it) to fix it?
why pepole should have to root their smartphones in order to be able to use basic functions like chosing their favorite browser, call recordings and god forgive me the option to delete fb, cod and booking com.
this is without mentioning the time, the brick/warranty risk by rooting.
if software updates are so good why we can roll back in all android smartphones? what is so scary?
i like android, but i dont like the way google is going and this is contrdict to the compony big promise, do not harm
i dont know how to rol back.

Just updating on this one as I don't think the issue is with the update as such. From what I have seen, the icons look to be legitimate notifications that are active, with the exception of the Facebook Messenger icons. Even if I have closed the chat bubbles these still appear. Maybe just an issue with how that app integrates with the lock screen?
EDIT: This is way worse than I initially realized.
The navigation bar/pill is buggy as hell.
First of all, I now have an ugly-ass black bar on the bottom of my screen in a lot of applications (maybe all of them actually, I'll have to check). I even have this bar in full screen/landscape apps which looks even more stupid.
Second, the bar sometimes gets stuck on one side of the screen. Meaning that when I switch from a landscape app to a portrait app, the pill will then be on the right side of the screen for no reason (and vice versa).
Finally, the gesture pill interferes with taps and gestures ALL THE DAMN TIME. Anything that is too close to the pill I cannot tap or swipe.
I open any app, there's a black bar at the bottom for no reason. I play a game in full screen, I can't tap tiny icons on the edge of the screen because the gesture bar interferes. I go back to Niagara launcher, I can't swipe through my app list because the gesture pill is stuck on the right side and, again, interferes.
This is plain unusable.
Battery drain on android 11.. A10 is better for battery life...
Maybe try a factory reset?
Lock screen updates seem to enter deep sleep and even the clock shows a time in the past for a moment when you double tap to wake it. Same with notification icons.
So, here's an update on lock screen mode vs icons/time inconsistencies and also notifications lag.
If you go to Ambient Display settings and then "When to show Ambient display", if you set it to "Smart activation" then the info in the lockscreen is refreshed properly and even more important, notifications when the phone is locked are showing up without delay.
the chat head is being replaced by buuble or something called like that, and it's causing restart when ever you try to tap the plus button
It seems that first A11 security/maintenance (not sure about this) patch has arrived, hope some issues are fixed.
New A11 update just arrived: 58.1.A.3.87 (Feb/1st Security Update)
I just got a new X 5II yesterday.
After i read about some problems with A11, i made a Geekbench 5 test between A10 and A11.
The results are ...
A10 - CPU - SC 898 / MC 2736
A11 - CPU - SC 719 / MC 1951
I reseted the phone and ran the benchmark again.
A11 (reset) - CPU SC 700 / MC 1811
I think there is a lot wrong with the A11 Update.
UPDATE 24 h AFTER THE UPDATE:
The results of geekbench are now a lot better:
SC 880 / MC 3132
Seems A11 is doing a lot of background stuff after the update
@infinity81 You might want to test again after a week or so. There have been multiple reports about this improving after a while. Somebody posted a screenshot with a score of 886/3148 on a different forum.
