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 was an automatic OTA update so I guess that's the official one.

you can turn on notch in developer settings and it will make sense

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

Thats why there is at the end of sentence . As huawei has ton of phones with notch i guess it was easier for them to make same layout across all phones.

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???!

Yea some interesting changes & features with few quirks i hope they do something about.
The white background in settings look clean but a bit too Samsungish ? Infact prefer they retained the EMUI 3.0 (removed in Emui 4.0) aspect of stock apps where certain elements of the stock apps changed in color with change in wallpaper to give a unified feeling.
They have changed the clock app and removed their signature rounded design and also made it white maybe for consistency. But not feeling it.
Also i have already sent a feedback (via stock Hicare app) to give the notification/shortcut panel the ability to stretch down a lot more until top row of shortcuts reach the center making it easy for one hand usage.
Another subtle change they could make is with the navigation bar which should be given an option to fade out into dots.

totally agree with you.
hope it gets more refined as it comes out of beta,:good:
Nougat is now officially out. I hope P9 Plus would get EMUI 5 soon. The plus is the higher priced phone between the two anyway
Comparing MIUI 8 to EMUI 5.0, the latter needs to do a lot more in polishing aesthetics.
The more i look at Emui 5.0 the more i tend towards feeling it looks ugly and poorly thought out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1qfU0ln9u8
I hope they don't release officially in such fashion (could release beta version for public) and take time to work out more on the aesthetics.
After watching the EMUI 5.0 official intro video, now i better appreciate what they have done and where their inspiration is from.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKYo7Kn7SlA
They still have places to implement that electric blue and white scheme all over though. The setting is too multicolored and could have been slightly more minimal. The shortcut panel is black unlike the rest of the white UI, and this panel still wasting half the screen space with shortcut all concentrated on top half of the screen. Hoping also that nice looking electric blue animations are used more. An animated battery and clock icon on the top bar. Ability to switch to black and electric blue scheme for night time. Also like other UI's they need a single or couple of official themes that keep getting refined with every update. But EMUI despite having pre-installed themes, none seems to have retained as an official theme that fits perfect with the rest of the UI.

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,
https://twitter.com/jaimani/status/1036965116053311493?s=20
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.
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.

NOTE: ALPHA PHASE HAS FINISHED.
If anyone wants to continue using this app which is going to be pro only for the moment, contact me (tg group and channel)
THIS PROJECT IS BEING UPDATED AND SUPPORTED AND I DON'T PLAN TO ABANDON IT.
If you ever wanted to have a working status bar in the second screen in a stock ROM, this is the thread you were looking for.
I have coded a widget for the second screen that replaces what the stock status bar does (and even more perhaps).
It has been months of coding.
As always, you have to install the app and open second screen settings and enable the widget.
If you want to hide the status bar, there are several ways. I do it using an xposed app to change status bar height. If you don't want to use xposed, you will have to go the long way of modding system. I may do it some day when I finish coding but there is a lot of stuff in my to-do list.
Don't forget to use the settings option to set some of the available features in this release.
If you find any bugs, I will need a log (logcat) with both log settings enabled. I will try to fix any bugs.
Check the attached screenshots!

I have not been trying much how to hide the status bar as I need time to code the app but afaik that can't be done because it will mess full screen apps (and maybe the notifications pull down because it's not drawn below the status bar but over it). Let me know if I'm wrong or if you know how to make it work correctly. Thanks
If you use any app that changes its notification icon, like a battery meter app, speedmeter app, weather app, etc, you will see the icon does not get updated. This is because I tried to optimize everything as much as possible so the app is coded to get the icon just once. The PRO version, if it ever gets to be released (depending on the interest of the users), will have some code to handle those apps which very little battery drain (which actually depends on how buggy or optimized is the notification posting from the app).
In the tg channel there is a video showing it.
@Daved+ tested works fine, thanks for this. I'm glad that it doesn't go away suddenly like previous solutions. I'm interested in buying pro version, jus need to figure out a way to disable the status bar without going the Xposed way. Tried Nova launcher hide option, it takes away the second screen as well, so no luck yet.
Edit: quote op correctly
Working great on my unlocked US996.
Would love to have single line height rather than stacked. Too cluttered with two lines of icons for my taste.
Thanks!

AFAIK you have to patch system to change the height of the status bar (you have to use apktool to decompile and compile).

Great to hear it works in different models. I can do other layouts, I have several ideas, this one was to use the second screen as much as possible to make the screen look bigger so no empty spaces in the corners. If you want, let me know your ideas, but I also need support to continue development.

Think there's a way to replace the default screen Date & Time Screen-Off Widget with yours when the main screen is off?
In the past, I have resorted to using battery percentage apps to get realtime charge levels during screen-off. I'd love to streamline that, using your app; which clearly has the potential to replace the default widgets.
They are distracting. Looked everywhere, maybe command line?
Nope, not possible on Pie. Hopefully they'll remove them in Android 10..? Btw.thanks Sony, it's their stupid implementation ?

Because they are moving other status bar icons back and forth. I find it very disturbing. Arrows should be part of the network icon, current implementation is plain stupid.

Even if there's only one icon, the constant jumping was driving me crazy. I learned to tolerate it, but I would get rid of the arrows in a blink of an eye if that was possible.
Yeah, a bit annoying. On Nokia phones running Pie those arrows are part of the icon, the both wifi and cellular.
I disable the % of battery to save a little space. This helps when the icons are nearly full on the right half.
Or you may adjust the display size like the discussion here:
