playstore notification randomly flashing up in top bar for a split second. - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I am currently using a P30 Pro but I had this same issue on my p20 Pro so wanted to post it here.
Randomly throughout the day I see something in the notification bar at the top that catches my eye. When studying this a bit more and screen recording I see that it is the Google play store notification icon. It flashes up for a split second and then gone and there appears to be no logic or patten to it appearing. I tried to leave the notifications bar pulled down to see ifi could see what it was doing but it is to fast to register an action for me to view and appears as a quick half pull down on the list.
Has anyone else experienced this and also if you have do you know what's causing it and how to stop it.
Thanks

Try to install Notification Log (or any other app that collects notification history) from the Play Store and see if it's able to cath that notification in order to provide more details

Great idea thanks,
I will give that a try and see what happens.
I get the notification flashing up a few times a day at least so hopefully it's long enough to register on the app.

A notification app doesn't record the action I have tried it. It seems to occasionally flash up when opening an app or closing one but not all the time and not always the same ones.

That should stop the notification showing but it doesn't explain what's causing it which is what I'm trying to understand. Some process is working in the background so I'm trying to figure out what

Must be a bug from the app itself. Mostly trying to give you notifications but it fails so it keeps trying to do it?

[Q] HD 8.9 Status bar prob

Tried both Apex and Go HD launchers (installed in /system/app), and both show the same problem: The status bar disapperars when there's a new notification. Instead, the open app starts to jerk down intermittently, and I can see the status bar trying to show up, just to disappear again. Mostly I have to reboot to grt it back, but now and then it reappears all by itself. A bit annoying, so: Anyone who has an idea about what to do to fix this?
<edit>The status bar reappears when the notification is cleared, i.e. I open the Mail app, the mail notification is cleared (I guess), and the status bar appears and behaves like normal again. That's the only way to restore normal functionality, it seems.</edit>

The problem you are having is caused by gmail. There is a way to fix it, they discuss it in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896958&highlight=gmail+notifications
Just go into settings and turn off notifications to gmail
Thank you! I've disabled the notification, and keep my fingers crossed. If worst comes to worst, the std mail client on the Kindle is quite workable too.

I almost like it a little better. Since I have multiple email accounts.

Yeah, I agree - it's quite good. However, on all my phones, I have GMail in the GMail app, all other mail in Email app, and I'm not much for changes...

[Q] Notifications on lock screen for Gmail/Hangouts

Any idea how to allow Gmail and Hangouts apps notifications on lockscreen? If I go to Notification center in Settings, I cant find these two in list of apps. So I cant enable these to have notifications on lock screen. And there is no settings for it in these apps directly - so what now? Cant pull down notification list on lockscreen - seems disabled. So I can see only that I have Gmail/Hangouts msg - I see status icon, but no preview...
Sorry to say if they are not in the Notification Center then there is no way to turn them on. Huawei seems to exclude Google apps quite often.

Seems like its the case. But even when app has lockscreen notifications enabled, it just shows general message and not content. For example viber is showing only notification that you have XY nee messages, but not showing actual content even when specificaly enabled in app...
I don't use Viber but on my lock screen notifications from Skype I do see the content of the message. Overall I don't like their lock screen notifications. You might want to try something like Nils for better notifications. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
How do you like the Mate S? I didn't know they were available to buy yet.

Man read the manual supplied with the phone !
Why I have all notifications in locks screen on my Mate7 ?
You have to go to notif.manager in settings and enable it!
If you don't want the content then from lock screen flick up from bottom tap on settings then screen lock and passwords and turn off detailed notifications..
Man just start get knowing device by exploring every corner every settings in it..

Do you have Mate S or not? Because I enabled these settings and still getting general notifications without actual texts. And I asked how to enable lockscreen notifications for gmail/hangouts, when these are not present in not. manager. Please read before typing angry posts...

Got it on IFA launch, wanted to use it few days before I write some review. Generally it seems like nice phone, great build, but runs one day and have some software issues - hope Huawei will fix these. Will try to report these through our PR guy, because I got no response at all from builtin support app (which opens mail app with filled email).
That's cool, I wish I could review it and get a hands on. However my general impression with Huawei has always been great hardware but the software has issues. If they were to scale back their skin like so many others are doing, and focus just on adding some of the more useful tweaks. Then I think the software would be matching the quality of the hardware. Not to mention faster OS updates.
I saw a video showing off the force touch soft keys on the bottom. I wondered if you could go back to regular soft keys. I think I'd rather have those buttons down there most of the time instead of trying to find where to force touch, or always having to use force touch.

HEy man nobody is angry alright ?
Seems to be a EMUI Problem that some (Google) Apps are not listed at all in the Notification Manager, so nothing to do with knowing the Phone, Hangouts & GMail which were pre-installed are just not there. So they don't have the choice to be shown on the Lockscreen ...
I got my Mate S (CRR-UL00) a few days ago, and I have Gmail in the notification settings, and can activate lockscreen notifications from there.

Notable app on Emui 5

Hi everybody
is anyone using the Notable app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icechen1.notable) on Nougat?
It is a neat reminder app that allows you to take quick notes that sit in the notification panel, which is very convenient as you have a constant notification icon reminding you and you can access the note-notification from anywhere.
Anyway I have a problem with it:
I think I set all options not to have it closed on sleep (in phone management and in the app settings), but still sometimes when I wake up the phone the notification has disappeared.
I get it back as soon as I reopen the app, but obviously, it being a reminder app, having to relaunch it every while makes it kind of useless.
Do you have any suggestion?
Either for a solution or for a similar app that I can try.
Thank you

Whatsapp notifications disappear from notification drawer.

I'm on the latest Miui 8.5.9.0 global and have been experiencing this issue for a while where I'd get a WhatsApp or a notification from some other app and it would either immediately or after 5 minutes or so disappear from the status bar, since I'm using Miui launcher, so I do see notification badge on the icon.
I have also taken out whatsapp from any battery optimizations.
Anyone else experiencing the same or know a fix?

For me the opposite kinda happens, when I click on the notification it opens the app and the notification doesn't disappear so I have to click a 2nd time or swipe it away. Or even more annoying when the notification just disappears when you click on it without actually opening the app...
I had the same issues on my Huawei Mate 7 but it never got fixed..

So you kinda have the disappearing issue too, for the notification sometimes staying there, it usually goes away after a few seconds or minutes you look at the message. There's probably a slight delay with the system reading that we've checked it or something sometimes.
Bump

Question Can we try to figure out this notification issue "mis" behaviour?

so Im baffled and I'm wondering if I am missing a setting somewhere. First of all, I am not using dark mode. the battery setting are all set properly as well as notification and "start" auto start etc. this is what I am noticing.
I am using Nova as well..oh.smart notifications OFF. I have de-bloated the phone no Vivo.pem
First of all Whatsapp: my lock screen does not show whatsapp messages most of the times, but it does show the min drop down notifications. I noticed the message comes on the lockscreen and disappears v quickly. I included slowmo of the notification popping and clearing itself out. I also noticed if your phone screen is turned off for while and you open it the lock screen shows most messages including whatsapp. Sometimes the whatsapp notification holds on the lockscreen(I included 3 examples).
Another issue is, coming from Samsung and one plus, all the items on the drop down notifications should be the same on the lockscreen. They are not. I seem to get gmail, whatsapp(sometimes) sms etc..the rest are not showing. is that normal behaviour?. again smart notifications is turned to off. logically any app that I set to show on lockscreen should show on lockscreen? I included 2 photos of this.
I know everyone is having issues with notifications, Im just trying to find the pattern for this because to me it looks inconsistent. either it should show or never show.my audiobook shows on both 100% of the the time. so really confusing for me.could be something stupid that im missing, maybe theres a setting for a timer for a certain notification to show on a lockscreen? I dont know.I think in 10 days Ive learned the settings menu inside out.
Fingers crossed that wasnt a stupid post...
Run the new debloat script I fixed. You probably botched something up with the old script, or removed com.vivo.pem and borked your whole phone.
Ok 2.6? I thought we need to remove com.viov.pem..
Thanks ..Will try again

Only according to like one or two guys who in my experience don't seem to know what they are talking about because the phone performs fine with this package installed.
How did it go?
