Overlay offset bug - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since i have my new phone Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, Facebook messenger overlay is not stuck to the edge while in landscape mode, rather it is pushed so much out of the edge... Is there any solution to this? Oh and also after the latest security update for Android One P double tap to wake up doesn't work anymore... Is there a fix for it too?

Mate 10 Pro Double tap to wake

Hi Everyone,
Why Huawei didn't activate this function to their high end phone. THIS IS VERY USEFUL.
Anyone, manage to activate this on their rooted mate 10 pro?
Think you posted in the wrong section, only way is to install nova launcher as it works with this

No, nova launcher has no double tap to wake. It has only double tap to sleep. I think you are wrong. If there is, pls guide me and appreciate it much.

Some weeks ago someone hinted at some code in the firmware which was supposed to handle double tap to wake. But there's no confirmation anywhere that Huawei will ever enable or further develop that code, just assumptions.
in Mate 8 forum there is a thread about enabling double tap to wake through some modifications on build prop.
That requires Root but I have no idea if that procedure could be implemented on mate 10

It's probably because of the screen technoligy that's being used.
I thought I'd miss the double tap to wake after coming from a oneplus one but the fingerprint sensor on this phone is so good I haven't looked back, one press and it's unlocked

Yes it really good but it is at the back of the phone.

Yes, the sensor is good, but kind of difficult to access while phone is mounted in a car - double tap to wake would be nice then, I miss it from my OnePlus X.
hello to all.... is possible that even in march update official, for huawei mate pro, is not present double tap to wake? other alternatives drain many battery... i hope a solution in last 4 monthes in this post
my solution
Hello,
As a former LG G2 user I've quickly begun to miss the double tap to wake/sleep | knockon/off function with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. So after lots of investigations and app trials here's my solution which seems to perform pretty well in my opinion.
After trying many apps I've encountered the so called 'Always on AMOLED | Edge lighting'.
Here's my setup on the mate 10 pro (emui 8.0.0, android 8.0.0, build 8.0.0.157 C432) first:
1) Disable smart cover
2) Disable pick to wake
3) Disable pulse light (it won't work and we'll use app's notification handling which is great in my opinion)
4) Disable always on display information
5) After installing the app (VERY IMPORTANT!):
- Go to ignore battery optimisation in android's settings and add this app to the Allowed list
- Go to battery / launch - then Manage manually the amoled app:
* set to on - auto launch
* set to on - secondary launch
* set to on - run in background
To quickly find the upper settings use the search bar in the settings menu.
Then in the app (v. 2.1.7 tested):
1) I've made a fully black background instead of a clock - upto your flavor
2) Enable the POCKET MODE! This actually saves battery a lot since if proximity sensor is covered the screen is completely shut down. When you sleep/want to save battery place the phone with face down - sounds as no problem to me..
3) Brightness is set to 10 or so - again upto you, the less the better for the battery
For double tap to lock I use a widget placed all over the screens where there are no icons - sounds annoying but once settled it works flawlessly. Here's the widget I use - DTS widget Skynet Software.
To be honest I've found it from this forum.
Share your experience as I might have missed something.
P.S Somehow the power button won't lock the screen now but I don't use it at all anyway, so no problem to me..
P.S.2 I would have bought another LG phone if only they have kept the IR Blaster but that's another story..

Same, I only like double-tap to wake on my phones without fingerprint sensors. On my mate 10 and Xiaomis, whether front or back, I am prone to using the fingerprint sensors, and they bypass the lock screen too.
Of course, it's a nice feature to have that doesn't drain battery, all my phones, except Huawei, have dt2w.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro Display dimming

Hey guys,
Just got my Mate 10 pro (BLA-29) Dual sim a few days ago and I am loving it!
Have updated it to the latest Android 8.0 and EMUI 8.0.
However instantly within the first hour of using the phone I noticed a strange issue or bug? Where you can be on the homescreen and the screen will be nice and bright, jump into any app it can be Chrome, whats app, Firefox even Youtube or Google Maps and instantly within 2 seconds or so the screen will dim a little, go back to homescreen or switch between apps and the screen will brighten, but then dim again after 2 or so seconds.
Have looked all over for any adaptive brightness, turned off auto brightness and any battery saver and nada, still dims.
The only difference is it doesn't happen if you whack the brightness up full, then the brightness level doesn't dim. So what gives??
Also while I have your attention, will Huawei ever allow us to Lock the phone to 4G/LTE only mode? Or do we need root for this?
Thanks for reading, I hope someone has an answer for me as I love this phone!

Known issue with brightness auto.
It's an IA thing which change brightness depending on your environment
I agree... I posted a topic about this a while ago... dims slightly with chrome, facebook etc.. isn't much that can be done about it.
I'm guessing it's to prolong the screen life (?), because these apps use predominantly white backgrounds ... but don't really know for sure...
Huawei claims this is a bug affecting every device running EMUI 5.1 and above. The standard Mate 10 also does this and so does the Honor View 10. Highly annoying. I actually sold my Mate 10 after three days largely due to this issue.
I was really excited for the Honor View 10 until I saw it also suffers from it. A fix should be simple but clearly isn't a priority.
Looks like i'll be switching to the Galaxy S9+ because of this - it's super annoying especially in sunlight - very noticeable then.
My screen does not change brightness level when using Chrome...I do not use Facebook. Non-pro version here with LCD.
mine also doing this as well for me its fine but some games it also does this not only my screen dim a little fps also drops!! and its very annoying
I confirm this behaviour on my Mate 10 Pro. Very annoying.
I have a P20 Pro and it does the same (all Huawei with Amoled does this I belive). If I enable auto brightness it seems to stop doing it. Only at manual brightness it keept doing it in certain apps.
I lurked around different sites about this problem and found this to work for me on my Mate 10 Pro. You can test it out yourself and see if it helps
1. Turn-off Power Saving Mode
2. Go to System > Developer Options > Increase Readability Under Sunlight> Toggle Off
3. Then make sure to restart your phone and open your apps (like Chrome) to see if it's still auto-dimming
Hi,
I returned my mate 10 pro because of the dimming issues as was very annoying.
I am planning to get p20 pro instead. Does p20 pro have the exact same issue despite EMUI 8.1?

I have heard of it on youtube.
this is no bug though. this "feature" has been around for years and huawei does not admit it. they alwas say its a bug and they gonna fix it but the p9 had this issure already.
Some argue that this is some sneaky way to cheat better battery life and less heating. We all know that the Kirin processor lags behind the others, it can only provide high performance for a short period after 5 min it overheats and gets thermothrottled

Can confirm my Huawei Mate 10 Pro, with BLA-L29 8.0.0.145 (C432) also dims the display when using different apps, among them the SMS/MMS app, WhatsApp, Chrome Browser and the built in Notepad app.
As well as dimming the display when »Auto Brightness« is disabled, »Auto Brightness« is automaticly enabled every time the phone is turned on and off, so not possible to permanently disable »Auto Brightness«.
Sent my phone to be repaired or fixed, and was told that the automatic enabling of »Auto Brightness« is a battery saving feature ...
Regarding the problem with dimming in certain apps, it's supposed to be fixed in a later update ... Just wonder when will that actually be ...

Previous owner of P9 with this screen-dimming feature. I own Mate 10 right now (C636 134noxloader build) and Mate 10 doesn't have this screen dimming at all, I tried chrome, youtube, and all my other apps, it never dims.

Just an update.
Wrote to Huawei Norway, and yesterday got an email telling me that Huawai is aware of the issue and it's on their list, and is to be fixed, as far as they know, in late July or August.
/ Alex / Norway /
No, its november and nothing changed, now a huawei mate 20 pro have that bug too.
This is common amongst all EMUI devices (I think) and it is fixed by freezing or otherwise disabling the Power Genius app. If rooted, you can use Titanium Backup or Service Disabler to do this. If you're not rooted, you might or might not be able to do it via adb.
This is a battery optimization feature, and not an auto brightness bug.
