Power notifications crashing the system - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hello, this is my first post here, so if I miss something please let me now.
I bought Huawei P10 recently, and there is a notifications problem I identified almost instatly, but so far found no solution.
Although setting banner notifications on for all the aplications, I receive them from a handful of apps only, and in case of the others there is only the app icon in the dock.
I identified that for aplications that have automatically set nofication importance to at least high, this is level 4 of 5, (like BBC News, for instance) the banners do appear. However, every change of the importance level crashes the system. Please refer to the pic:
https://www1-lw.xda-cdn.com/files/2017/03/Screenshot_20170302-193013.png
and the text it comes from:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-enable-system-ui-tuner-to-modify-the-status-bar-in-emui-4/
So, given all this, is there any possiblity to solve the crash problem? I really do miss the banner notifications.

Text to speech bug
Hi all,
I've come across a weird bug that once i have run the "speak current time" actions under the labs section, my phone continues to speak the time for other various actions (eg opening/closing folders, setting the alarm etc).
So far there seems to be no way of stopping it, even killing the Google text to speech service does nothing.
Anyone else with this problem or any solutions?
Regards

Hi G,
received your e-mail and replied this via e-mail a couple of minutes ago ...
Hi Gene,
No, you are the first reporting this. There is no Retag background service which could cause this and NFC Retag doesn´t change a TexttoSpeech setting, therefore I would say it´s not related, but stranger things had happen.
First thing I thought, it´s probably related to the CAR Mode ... a lot of devices speak a lot of things (Sms received, folder opened etc. ) while in car mode..annoying and mostly unexpected ... the first time it happen to me, I was completely clueless what was causing this and how to disable.. So please check if the car mode is enabled.
Second thought was the Standard Android Accessibility feature, please check under Settings--> Accessibility that the TalkBack option is disabled (provides spoken feedback for blind users ).
If this doesn´t help, reboot your device and please check again...If the issue still occurs, could you please give us some more details (device, firmware version, etc.) and if possible a log file, so we could analyze this in detail?

Hi ascsa,
Thanks i got your email. Great to see such quick response from developers. I wasn't expecting it, hence the post here as well.
Just to clarify for any other readers, i'll repeat what i sent in my reply email to you.
Driving mode and talkback are disabled on my device.
I found a temporary fix by clearing the data from Application Management->All->Google text to speech service, but it then randomly starts again at a later time. I think the fault may lay more with Android than any app as there are a couple of other applications out there having the same issue. Something about Android calling the wrong service (text to speech) when various apps are started.
For your and others information, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T Android 4.1.2 Stock Vodafone AU ROM, rooted. Baseband I9300TDUELL2.
Cheers

No Problem ... ... but let´s move to the official support thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138&page=100) ...because this is an old thread ...NFC Retag PRO is currently NOT on sale ... and we shouldn´t confuse the users ...
Just to clarify for any other readers, my e-mail answer to your last post :
The Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (international model) is one of our main testing devices. Not sure if, there is a problem with the Vodafone Rom or the Australian T model, but it´s working fine here on 4.1.2.
Had a short look at our code and the official api and everything seems fine ... but without a log file or better a device on which we could reproduce the error it´s nearly impossible to be sure ...However, you mentioned it happens with other apps, too , so I would bet on some Vodafone "enhancements" ...
Btw. have you tried the Samsung TTS engine (settings--> language& input -->text-to-speech output--> preferred engine) instead of the Google engine?
I notice there are several versions of tasker. Which do I need?

Auto-activation of Location + WhatsApp modifications + Browsing animation on Album

Hey,
I've got four questions, and would kindly appreciate any help/suggestion.
1. I would like to know whether it is possilbe or not, to allow certain apps (e.g Waze) to turn on Location automatcially upon start, without the need to manually turn on (and later off) Location via Settings.
2. By using a third-party app (Notify Me), when getting a message on Whatsapp, it will wake up the screen and show a preview of the message. The downside occurs when a second message arrives from the same sender: instead of creating a new row, with a new preview of the message, it is summed up with the previous message and now I will see: "2 messages from XXX" - and the only way to preview those two messages is by unlocking the screen and slide top-to-bottom (to show the updates center window).
I tired to play with the notification settings on Whatsapp, Notify Me and "notification" on Settings, but none of them satisifed me.
And another thing regarding WhatsApp - when I recieve a photo and download it to my album, and later I delete the photo from the album, it will also be deleted from the sender conversation window! Why those two are linked? It means that if I delete a picture from my phone and then regret and want to re-download it from WhatsApp, I can't.
P.S - WhatsApp is installed locally, and pictures are saved on SD-Card, if it has anything to do with that.
3. That might sound a bit odd, but I don't like the animation shown when browsing photos on Album app (kind of "revolving doors" animation). Is there a way to change it or to turn it off? Maybe changing animation settings using "Developers mode" will sort it, but then it will disable each and every animation on the phone, which I basically like.
4. Is it safe to use old syncing cables (original ones when I had Samsung Galaxy SIII mini) with my new Z3C? It seems to have the same mini-port connection, but I fear it will somehow damage the Z3C because of unknown compatibility issues (different voltage or something)
Thanks a lot!!
1. You need to use third-party for that. I use and recommend Tasker to do that kind of thing (and many, many others).
4. It is safe to use any USB cable (as long as they're not faulty). The only potential downside of using old cables are a reduced charging speed and reduced transfer speed.
For your other questions I don't know so I'll let other that do answer rather than hypothesize.
Thanks for the answer, but I wonder if 1. can be achieved only with the help of a third-party app? This app will probably run in the background all the time and consume more battery, which is already quite weak thanks to the 5.1.1 update...
I don't know why it is so complicated.. it seems natural that a GPS-based app will automatically turn on the Location upon start, and will turn it off upon termination.

EMUI update notification sent me to potential malware site

Hello!
I'm afraid my phone might have malware. Hopefully it's a false alarm but I would appreciate any insight into the behavior:
Yesterday I saw a notification with the EMUI icon (stylized red "UI") but when bringing up the notification panel all I saw was a green "down" arrow and no text. I've had apps with bugs creating broken notifications before so I tapped it to check. It sent me to a webpage flagged as a source of malware "d1.3gmimo.com/handpet/wallpaper/...<can't remember rest>". I closed the page and since Chrome showed the warning before loading the page I think it's safe to assume I didn't download anything.
I don't know the origin of the notification though so I'm afraid there might be some malware already present. It had the EMUI icon but that can be faked or may be the default when no icon is configured (not sure how it works).. The notification appeared over mobile data so no router redirect infection. Searches gave me only one hit I could make sense of - a forum thread with the poster describing a similar event. They got not explanation but see here for their screenshots: Google Translate on thread-5858387-1-1.html on club.huawei.com (can't post links yet it seems)
I am very careful with the apps I install, avoid all the copycat crap, and I only allow Google Play as a source. The phone was only ever used by me except briefly by a family member which I trust not to download anything sketchy. Still, I uninstalled the most recent 2 apps: Hashi and Nonogram Katana (has ads) , though these had been installed a week before. The list of installed apps shows nothing new/strange. I also installed AVL, Bitdefender, and Avast but they found nothing. (I know it's debated whether av/anti-malware apps are helpful but thought to cover everything.)
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!
Phone details:
Huawei P7-L10
Android 4.4.2
EMUI 2.3 (V100R001C02B129)
Branded by Vodafone and with their uninstallable apps - using it on different network though.
I know I should update but the update app doesn't find anything (I understand this may be due to modifications made by telecom companies) and I got lazy since I've had no compatibility issues. I guess I should think more about security.
After doing more digging and learning to use adb to look at the logcat, I think the notification might have been created by VLife, which is Huawei's wallpaper distribution service.
On my phone I have VLife 2.23.3 installed (seems to be stock) as a system app. The title is in Chinese but the icon is the EMUI logo. (I figured out which app it is by the icon and version number, after I found the app hosted on aptoide.com while googling for "vlife".)
I presume what happened is that VLife tried to download a new wallpaper (no idea why all of a sudden) and it went to 3gmimo.com, which might serve as a mirror for apps. The site is flagged as having malware. This might be a false alarm or the site might have been hijacked since my version of VLife came out.
So the app might be ok. Though I'm still worried why the sudden update. Maybe there's a central message that was sent to the app to update? (The logcat below mentions a receiver.) The only suspicious thing about the app otherwise is that it has the permission to record sound along with changing sound settings. The latter isn't so surprising since it provides multimedia wallpapers. Maybe recording comes with the rest of the sound permissions. I've disabled the app and disabled its notifications for now. It can't be uninstalled since it's a system app.
These lines come up quite often in my logcat:
I/am_proc_start( 604): [0,18761,10089,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper:main,broadcast,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper/com.vlife.receiver.PetMainReceiver] - the link I got referred to a "handpet"
I/am_proc_start( 604): [0,18907,10089,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper:main,broadcast,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper/com.vlife.receiver.InstallEventReceiver]
Does anybody know more about this app or service?
Thanks!

Question Notification issues

Hi I just started using my Zenfone 8 as daily driver and found out that notifications don't work properly in more senses:
- Often I get notification delayed with respect to my other devices
- When I get a notification of a message/email and read it from another device, the notification on the zenfone 8 stays there
- with telegram, in the previous case, the notification does not go away even if i open the telegram app!!!!
All this leading to a nice combo of previous issue: I get a telegram message on PC, answer it from PC, THEN also get the same notification on zenfone and it does not go away.
I found some complaints on the Zentalk forum, but with no answer, like this one
Broken notification system
As already reported: Kleshar Hello staff, This is my third or fourth bug report for the zenfone 8. This is a minor bug report but still pretty annoying in some cases. I wanted to tell you that the notification system on some apps gets stuck if you're using the same account on different...
zentalk.asus.com
Does anybody know what's the problem? I looked into system settings, notifications and permissions but I can't get it to work properly.
Do you have this same issue? Do you have suggestions?
Any android 12 beta tester know if it will be solved at least in the android 12 update?
Thanks

How To Guide How to fix notifications on Vivo X90 Pro+

Seeing as there are dozens of people who are claiming issues with receiving notifications. I figured it's time to make this thread.
The following has worked for me to restore notifications for every single app I use.
To date, I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with getting any notifications from any apps. Regardless of the app itself, time, battery state of the phone or 4G/5G/Wifi et cetera,
These are the steps that I have done. They worked for me. If you have already done other steps and things are not working for you. You may likely have broken something on your own, in which case these below steps obviously won't work for you.
Steps.
I got my new phone
I ran the Debloat Script
Rebooted the phone to check everything is working, no force closes etc.
Installed the apps I needed manually (did not copy from any previous device or use a transfer app)
Settings > Battery > Set to Balanced
Settings > Battery > Background Power Consumption > for messaging apps and other real-time important apps I set "High Background Power Usage"
For each app > Go to "App Info" (longtap on app) > Permissions > All Permissions > Autostart ON
Install APKPure store
Update these: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Carrier Services
Reboot
Make a test notification from another phone to my Vivo - it works.
Open the app, then use the App Manager to swipe it away from the recents drawer
Make another test notification - it works.
Most of this is just simple a' la: https://dontkillmyapp.com/vivo
I have tested this with the following apps (and many more I could not be bothered to list):
Whatsapp (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Facebook Messenger (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Telegram (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Signal (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Threema (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Snapchat (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Google Photos (sync works fine, also got shared photos notification)
Gmail (all email notifications working, also Google Meets notification reminders)
Google Calendar (calendar reminders all working)
Microsoft Todo (reminders working fine, also added shared tasks notifications working)
Protonmail (all email notifications working)
Tutanota (all email notifications working)
Weawow Weather (weather alerts working fine, plus persistent notification not being killed for weather)
Pano Scrobbler (automatically opens and detects any playing music correctly even if I haven't opened the app in days)
Youtube Vanced (subscription notifications working fine, so are recommendations)
NewPipe Sponsorblock (same as Youtube Vanced)
This allows apps to start by themselves (also when invoked by another app in the background), it also prevents them from ever being killed in the background so you still get notifications.
Other things to note:
Dark Mode - I have it set to always on, no problems with notifications whatsoever and I have never had a problem
Do Not Disturb - When the schedule is set, all notifications are still received but are muted
com.vivo.pem - Still installed on my phone, I never removed it and I do not recommend removing it
120hz Mode - I am using this all the time
Battery saving or task killing apps? - I have none installed. They are all unreliable.
TradingShenzhen - I got my phone from here
System Version - PD2227C_A_13.0.19.0.W10.V000L1
Battery drain?
My phone barely even drains 20-35% in a day. This is by far the best phone I have ever used when it comes to battery drain. I have never had a problem with the battery draining at all. Not even randomly or overnight. The longest I have left my phone on without any kind of reboot is about 9 days. The phone drains on average about 1.3% per hour if I am not using it and 3% an hour with light use. Even using the camera and taking 4K video, the drain is very minimal. I use auto brightness and I have the always-on display turned off.
Battery drain will always come down to how you use your phone:
How much you pick it up,
Did you Debloat your phone,
Do you play games (I do not),
Are you using 5G (much higher drain) or Wifi (lower drain),
Do you have lots of apps syncing high volumes of data in the background,
Do you have Bluetooth on constantly and NFC in the background always on,
Do you watch a lot of videos (I do not),
Do you regularly properly close apps you aren't using?
and all things like this. As always YMMV. For me though, I could not get a single day out of my Samsung S22U. I can get almost 3 days out of my Vivo X90 Pro+ whilst taking a lot of photos, quite a few videos, having a few calls and using my browser a lot.
Here's 2 screenshots of my battery usage. Purple bars are background usage, which you can see is really nice and low for all apps. Turquoise (blueish) is foreground usage and I think those levels are normal. Notion is a massive battery hog, so is Libby. Notion due to sub-optimal coding and the over aggressive syncing it does when you're even just typing. Libby is just badly made. Likely I will also prevent Libby running in the background, but I allowed it only so I get notifications when my books are ready.
What about *x* app?
I don't know man, do these steps and try it for yourself. This is just what I have done and I have literally a perfect experience with this phone so far, which I think is to be expected because I wasn't chopping up my OS and removing system apps etc. If you feel like you are having a really bad experience, likely the only way forward is to fully factory reset the phone and try these steps.
What about com.vivo.pem?
Look. Friend... If you haven't figured out by the screenshot evidence and everything else I've been saying here and in my other threads, that you absolutely do not need to remove it (and absolutely should not). Then I can't help you and I won't say it again. What I will say though is this. There are a few people who have removed it, all of which STILL are having problems. ALL of which who are facing far WORSE problems like battery drain so bad that one of the biggest advocates for deleting this package is now selling his Vivo X90PP because he's unwilling to admit he bricked it by removing this package. Yet despite this he's still telling others to remove it . What we do know? Well removing to causes massive battery drain, your phone won't even last a full day. Removing it also can make it impossible to install any apps after an OS update . Removing it can also do all sorts of other weird things with your phone like force close apps randomly and cause random restarts. So why did people remove it? Because some "genius" was convinced it was a good idea. Because one guy who owned an X80 said it solved a problem getting his notifications to work. Because instead of looking for a really solution, some guys got out the axe and started hacking. So, keep the package? The worst you'll get is what... a notification might not work (which this whole guide should fix anyway). Remove it? Then only God can help you (or maybe a factory reset). My advice: Leave the package alone. If you already removed it and are having problems, factory reset and run the new debloat script and follow this guide.
Final word
I don't really use this community at all. Nor do I check posts very often. I help out only in my spare time and I don't have any interest in being some active member. In the past I have found this community unwelcoming, toxic and full of chest beaters, so I am really only interested in getting the tools and info I need and then getting out. I am not sure even why I bothered fixing the script for everyone else, I guess because it was simple and I really love this phone and want others to enjoy it. In short, I want more good phones like this and with a little bit of tweaking it can be an amazing device. However, lately, a lot of people have been DMing me after I fixed the debloat script, like over 20 people. Please do not DM me, I will likely not see these posts at all. All my notifications are disabled now after too much spam. Plus I won't reply to them individually. Make your posts in a thread where more than just me could give you an answer and do not pose your questions to "just me". I won't help you with your specific issues. The community here has always been adamant that you need to help yourself, otherwise just buy some overpriced Samdung or iPhone and forget about XDA altogether. My 2 cents.
In any case, I hope this thread helps some people going forward.

You're on my ignore list but I will reply to you this once only. Yes and those chats don't notify me when they are muted but my unmuted group chats notify me on every message. That is, the chats work fine, the exact same way as on my other phone. I don't want muted chats to notify me anyway.
Only viber doesnt work in dark mode in my case (it lights up screen with no content shown and no sound, no notification shown on garmin fenix 7) in light mode works perfectly
Thank you for the guide. But after some time my apps stop getting notifications again. What the solution for that? I have script 2.6 too and vivo pem active.

I currently have vivo.pem active , there is old debloat script that kills vivo pem, i would recomend that you kill only com.vivo.pem only. Delete other lines leave only vivo pem.
Also i have noticed when you run new and then old script then battery drain starts.
I always do factory reset before debloating and never restore using unbloat script.

Can you please tell me if your floating notifications pop up for WhatsApp? (The small message preview windows at the top of your screen whilst unlocked.) They work for every app except WhatsApp on mine.

Battery drain will always come down to how you use your phone:
How much you pick it up,
Did you Debloat your phone,
Do you play games (I do not),
Are you using 5G (much higher drain) or Wifi (lower drain),
Do you have lots of apps syncing high volumes of data in the background,
Do you have Bluetooth on constantly and NFC in the background always on,
Do you watch a lot of videos (I do not),
Do you regularly properly close apps you aren't using?
and all things like this. As always YMMV. For me though, I could not get a single day out of my Samsung S22U. I can get almost 3 days out of my Vivo X90 Pro+ whilst taking a lot of photos, quite a few videos, having a few calls and using my browser a lot.
Here's 2 screenshots of my battery usage. Purple bars are background usage, which you can see is really nice and low for all apps. Turquoise (blueish) is foreground usage and I think those levels are normal. Notion is a massive battery hog, so is Libby. Notion due to sub-optimal coding and the over aggressive syncing it does when you're even just typing. Libby is just badly made. Likely I will also prevent Libby running in the background, but I allowed it only so I get notifications when my books are ready.
What about *x* app?
I don't know man, do these steps and try it for yourself. This is just what I have done and I have literally a perfect experience with this phone so far, which I think is to be expected because I wasn't chopping up my OS and removing system apps etc. If you feel like you are having a really bad experience, likely the only way forward is to fully factory reset the phone and try these steps.
What about com.vivo.pem?
Look. Friend... If you haven't figured out by the screenshot evidence and everything else I've been saying here and in my other threads, that you absolutely do not need to remove it (and absolutely should not). Then I can't help you and I won't say it again. What I will say though is this. There are a few people who have removed it, all of which STILL are having problems. ALL of which who are facing far WORSE problems like battery drain so bad that one of the biggest advocates for deleting this package is now selling his Vivo X90PP because he's unwilling to admit he bricked it by removing this package. Yet despite this he's still telling others to remove it . What we do know? Well removing to causes massive battery drain, your phone won't even last a full day. Removing it also can make it impossible to install any apps after an OS update . Removing it can also do all sorts of other weird things with your phone like force close apps randomly and cause random restarts. So why did people remove it? Because some "genius" was convinced it was a good idea. Because one guy who owned an X80 said it solved a problem getting his notifications to work. Because instead of looking for a really solution, some guys got out the axe and started hacking. So, keep the package? The worst you'll get is what... a notification might not work (which this whole guide should fix anyway). Remove it? Then only God can help you (or maybe a factory reset). My advice: Leave the package alone. If you already removed it and are having problems, factory reset and run the new debloat script and follow this guide.
Final word
I don't really use this community at all. Nor do I check posts very often. I help out only in my spare time and I don't have any interest in being some active member. In the past I have found this community unwelcoming, toxic and full of chest beaters, so I am really only interested in getting the tools and info I need and then getting out. I am not sure even why I bothered fixing the script for everyone else, I guess because it was simple and I really love this phone and want others to enjoy it. In short, I want more good phones like this and with a little bit of tweaking it can be an amazing device. However, lately, a lot of people have been DMing me after I fixed the debloat script, like over 20 people. Please do not DM me, I will likely not see these posts at all. All my notifications are disabled now after too much spam. Plus I won't reply to them individually. Make your posts in a thread where more than just me could give you an answer and do not pose your questions to "just me". I won't help you with your specific issues. The community here has always been adamant that you need to help yourself, otherwise just buy some overpriced Samdung or iPhone and forget about XDA altogether. My 2 cents.
In any case, I hope this thread helps some people going forward.

I killed vivo.pem at sunday and it's good. what you say from remove is not right!
@M5Pro60 but do your floating notifications pop up for WhatsApp?
Btw, if I have my phone in vibration mode with screen off it doesn't vibrate for many app notifications . Seems to be just another bug related to notifications. Then when I switch on the screen the notifications arrive delayed sometimes, sometimes not....
Also the notifications don't make it onto my Fenix 6X pro with vibration mode...
Just a rotten software with bugs everywhere....
I did everything as in the first post:
- reminders made on the same day (yesterday) - everything worked
- today, next day, again Google Calendar does not send notifications.
All settings are preserved, nothing has changed.
I don't understand what happened now?
