change default notification permissions - Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

This post was edited by X4V1R at 14:00, Jan-17-2019
I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 and I got the MIUI Global Stable 10.2.1.0 update. Now I realized that all the notifications are getting bad default configuration by default (for all application).
All the notifications emitted by all applications are always getting the same settings :
no sound
no lockscreen permission
no floating notification
no notification led
It sound stupid to me because we are forced to miss the first notification of each category of every app before being able to change the settings manually.
Even worst, some applications creates new notification category for every new notification. As it is not possible to configure notification for a category that is not yet created, there is no way to enable them.
Is there a way to change those notification settings to have sound, vibration and lockscreen permission by default for all notifications of all applications ?

yeah lots of things regarding notifications are ****ed up since the android pie update.
For example you CANNOT change the notification sound for emails/gmal anymore.

That's the second most annoying thing about the "new" notification system of MIUI 10.
But the default notification settings are even worst. You won't be notified at all if an app create a notification of a new category when your phone is locked.
Anyway, still looking for a solution...

Notification settings

I have a Moto Z2 Play with Nougat 7.1.1
I jumped directly from Kitkat (Cyanogen OS which my old phone had and which I never updated as it was very buggy update to Lollipop and I wanted for MM which never came) to Nougat when I bought the Z2 Play. It's mostly a positive change except for the notification settings. I know it's been discussed at length how Google messed up the notification settings on Lollipop and the trend has continued in Nougat too.
So now to my issue with it. I have currently set ringtones at full volume and Notifications on silent by selecting default notification ringtone as "None" as I don't want to hear a chime on every notification that comes through as most of my notifications are News feeds. Whenever l recieve a notification my phone vibrates so I assume there's no setting to customize Silent/Vibrate by default for all notifications and also individual app unless the app itself has implemented it in its settings like Textra and merely selecting no notification ringtone sets it to vibrate unless I go to individual app settings and set on the toggle "Show Silently". It is quite convoluted really.
Now what I want to achieve with the way my phone acts on notifications is something like this:
I want the to set a default notification ringtone and I want to set some notifications to vibrate and some to silent which I simply cannot do unless the app provides its own settings of silent/vibrate.
I want the Reminders and Events set in the Google and Calendar app to have a notification ringtone even when in default settings I have set notification ringtone to "None" but they rely on default notification settings. Some apps like Textra provide their own so is it really hard for Google's own app to do the same. This way I can set a different ringtone too than the default one. So I would like to know of a way to do so.
And honestly why aren't Reminders relying on Alarm sound i.e. if alarms are allowed to make a sound Reminders should too. It is really frustrating. I missed a reminder like this today because I wasn't aware of the convoluted way Nougat handles all this.
Kitkat had the best implementation. It had a separate slider for notification sounds too.(Cyanogen OS had one).
What I think is a better implementation is allowing to set a default ringtone in Sounds settings and then in individual app's notification settings separating the vibrate part from the "Show Silently" option. This would allow me to achieve my goal of having a ringtone for some apps, vibrate for some and silent for some. And it would solve my problem of having a sound when I have set a reminder in the Google app and have set default notification ringtone to "None".
The best implementation of course would be to set a default silent, vibrate or ringtone for notifications and then have granular control for each app i.e have a list of all apps and allowing to choose from Silent, Vibrate or ringtone for each app which would override the default.
Also why not allow to change the default sound that the volume rockers control. In Google's own YouTube app volume rockers change the notification volume and not the media volume which is again very frustrating.
Sorry for the long post and rant. I really wish Google fixes this but I doubt it.

Notifications doesnt show up on lockscreen & online games doesnt connect to servers

Notifications doesnt show up on lockscreen & online games doesnt connect to servers
I dont know if it is just me but I am not getting any notifications on the lockscreen. I did look into the notification settings for each app. No notifications show up even after enabling lockscreen notifications. This is a huge issue and is really annoying because as such there aren't any notification icons in the status bar. Thanks in advance
Edit: (Another issue is that most online games does not connect to their servers at all. PUBG, Dragonball Heroes.) My mistake guys. It was my router's problem, not the phones. Sorry!
Have you enabled lock screen notification for each app, which is different from system wide option?
For the online games, I don't have the problem. You might had tinkered with a wrong option. Kindly check them all one by one.

Thanks but I figured out the online games issue. It is a problem with my new router. Had to change its settings. Totally unrelated to the phone.
About the notifications, I did enable them individually but it didnt change anything. The lockscreen is empty all the time. I have to pull the notification shade down to see any updates.
PS: This is my first time using MIUI. The settings are kinda confusing

I also bought the f1, I've had rmn 3 pro / 5 pro ad MI 5s plus. All of them where pure miui and I'm sorry to say this but the f1 has a poco launcher and I haven't tried other launchers yet but the f1 doesn't show icons on top notification bar. It's supposed to be like that which is annoying as hell!

It depends from the theme you are using. Some of them has that feature some doesn't.

Notifications are not showing up in screen lock of POCO F1
I read all the blogs to fix this issue but a simple action made my notifications to pop up on my lock screen. Initially, when the phone gets manufactured, the software would have set some default value(ON/OFF) but the real value will be set for particular action only when the user explicitly sets it so, just try following steps which may solve your problem(Solved for me).

For me, it started working fine only by disabling and enabling the toggle button of "Show on lock screen" and I have selected POCO F1 default theme which is a standard MI theme of POCO.
Nope, I am still not able to enable notifications on my lock screen in my new poco f1
I just updated to the new miui 12. The official update as my phone is not rooted.
Now I got the same problem, there are absolutely no notifications on the lockscreen. Why? Anybody else has the same problem?
Before you ask me, yes, of course I have enabled the notifications at the settings

Questions about pop-up notifications

So I just recently bought this device about 3 days ago. I'm a former iOS user and I'm really missing pop-up notifications on this device.
I'm aware that they do exist and work, but not in my case.
I've tried setting setting up App launch, Notification management settings, manually checking if an app like Messenger has notifications enabled.
I am getting notifications to my lock screen and status bar, sound and vibration, but I'm not getting pop up notifications while I'm doing something on my phone which is really annoying.
I've also disabled notifications on the status bar, but I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.
Another thing I've tried is using a fake notification app and setting up a custom notification. It works just like described above while the priority is set to 'normal'. When I set it to 'high' priority, only then it gives me a pop up notification.
Sorry if I'm not very clear on this.
I'm running EMUI 8.2.0 and Android 8.1.0, also using Nova launcher prime if that's any useful info.
Thanks

Unable to Personalize some sounds after System Update.

Just updated to MIUI Global 11.0.2 & found it reset some of my customizations to new ones.
Wallpapers & such were easy enough to fix but when I went to Sound & Vibration settings, saw that I can only change the Phone Ringtone, Alarm Sound, Events & Notifications.
Was the other ones misplaced somewhere or removed? It really bugs me that I can't change the new default text/message received sound as every new text on my phone keeps reminding me off it.

Notification sorting miui 12

Installed Miui 12 eu rom, now notifications are sorted by time instead of priority...
I have many persistent notifications and I intentionally set priority to minimal / 'trivial' so they stay at the bottom
I now have to search the notifications in the list and it's annoying.
Anyway to get it to the way it was?

Maybe try disabling this?
Not sure it made any difference.
Some of the apps did however stop "refreshing" their notifications and jumping to the top after a couple of times I opened them.
Some asked for permissions again...
There is just 1-2 apps that still do this.
ended up using Mi control center app
solves the notification sort problem + notifications aren't huge which I like and overall a very neat app.

nice app, but would be great if if worked correctly with custom quick settings tiles, like from Tasker, AutoNotification or Blokada.

Thanks for sharing. I have my first MIUI phone (coming from stock Android) and notifications in MIUI were driving me nuts. This app seems to return the stock Android behavior, hopefully there are no issues with it.
I still wish MIUI would honor the notification priority, what sense does it make to have silent notifications otherwise..
I am sorry for asking if it sounds silly, but how do we adjust priorities of notifications from different apps? Like I want some apps like text messages and missed calls etc to show on top of others in the list.
One more question, in Oxygen OS there was a feature of silent notifications, they were separated from the rest of the notifications by a neat divider labeled other notifications, they were collapsed by default and did not make a sound or splash. Can this be achieved in MIUI 12?
