Xiaomi Mi 8 notifications still an issue? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am considering getting a Xiaomi Mi 8 secodn hand but the notification issue really worries me.
I have read loads of stuff but most things seem to be from 2018 so was wondering what the latest is......
MIUI 10 will support notifications but cant see a recent conformation of this
Notch Notifications for MIUI app works, but the latest review says the latest update broke it
Ive read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/notifications-mi8-pocophone-f1-t3847755 about KLWP and super notch does that still work ok?
The guy who is selling it says they dont appear in either corner of the notch, but they do appear on the lock screen, anyway to improve on this?
Thanks

The only way to get notifications besides the notch is with a 3rd party app. On the stock rom they appear but then dissapear. I dont know which app works or not but those were the most popular ones

In the offical beta, the notifications are working correctly and they dont dissapear.

Thanks for your replies, I bought a pixel instead as i couldnt not have the notifications

Issues with some apps and the notch

Hey all,
I've had my Mi8 Global edition (currently running 10.0.3 global stable) for about a month now and I've noticed an issue on Facebook Messenger where the app loads weirdly (see 1st screenshot) and then after about a second or 2 it corrects itself. Is there any fix for this? I tried going into the screen settings and making Messenger not a full screen app but the option is locked. I also tried hiding the notch and this did nothing as well...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Also, on my AOD (Always on Display) only certain apps notifications appear, is there a fix for this yet on the Global stable rom? AND is there a way to make app icon notifications appear on the status bar if you do not have the Chinese Version?
Thanks all!

Jesus, how I hate it!!! And Google knows nothing about this behavior...
Yeah so far it's only Facebook messenger that does it and I've realised it's when you get the "xxxx xxxx is now active" notifications that appear in the spot where the status bar is supposed to be. Has no one figured out how to fix it?

You could always lower the dpi of the screen to something below 480.
AOD is a common issue which is miui issue and I don't think there's a work around.
The icons situation won't be available until android pie of miui10 is released. You'll need to wait till end of 2018 or beginning of 2019.

Status bar and lockscreen notifications

So I just got my Mi 9 after deciding to move over from my Samsung galaxy S8. I don't understand what the hell is going on with the notifications it's really putting me off this phone after using for 2 days. From the lockscreen I can't see any notifications. Status bar just shows the time. I've checked "show icons for incoming notifications" in the notifications and status bar settings. However it only shows the icons for a few seconds before showing the clock again. Pretty inconvenient that I have to unlock and swipe the status bar down just to see my notifications.
I find it ridiculous that all these manufactures are making funny notches and cutout around the screen to increase screen-to-body ratio and increase size but fail to use all that space extra space to not only enhance user experience but to show important information that I could see easily on my previous smaller screen devices.
Am I missing something or is this how Xiaomi intend their users to view notifications?
Yes, that is the way to show notifications. I come from Mi 8 and it was the same. I'm really waiting for a update soon, because this mistake again is unacceptable.

Bump. I read the problem was solved in a recent OTA but it's not for me. My notifications disappear after a second. It's very frustrating
Any update here? This Feature/Bug ist unacceptable!

Yes, it seems to be solved since version 17 of stable ROM together with the toggle to disable the artificial rouding of the notch but for some reason this update was not pushed OTA to everyone.
I'm stuck on version 15. Maybe they found bugs and pulled it or it's only available for some other chanels (on EEA here)...
Do you have a screenshot of the fix? I am on version 15 too. Cant wait for fix...

I am on EEA 17, it's not fixed there. It's only fixed in global betas, which we can't get without unlocking bootloader.
Only disabling the notch extra rounding is there, but no notification icons, which is indeed stupid.
Maybe for some guys a quick help:
Search for Notch Notifications for MIUI.
That way notifications get shown under the clock...
New problem after it was fixed by Xiaomi
If u hide the notch, the notifications cut off right before the notch even tho there isn't a notch preventing them

Its like that now on Android, it only shows 5 icons. On my Mi A2 running Android One, it would cut even if there is no notch. Worse, it does that even on the system icons at the right.

Ow thanks for that insightful comment. Huh, didn't realise that's the case. Wondering how i didn't notice this when I had OnePlus 5T where I used Oxygen OS, some AOSP based and some Lineage OS based ROMs on pie but somehow didn't take notice. Maybe the status bar was shorter on it causing smaller icons so more fit in that width. Or maybe because this one has curve in corners unlike 5T which reduces usable space

OneUI/Android10 OTA too buggy?

Judging by the numerous complaints of issues with the new A10 updates, it looks like OneUI with Android 10 is NOT ready to replace Android9, yet it's rolling out as OTA upgrades. I predict it won't be long before people regret this new update and want to roll back to A9. I have a U1 variant and haven't gotten a prompt to update yet. It seem like a good time to fire up adb and disable the packages that are responsible for updates.
Anybody love the new OneUI w/A10 they got on their N9 via OTA? What's good about it?
I haven't had any issues and know a few others that haven't as well, but we are a small amoint of people, so yeah.
I really don't feel a difference between Android 9 and 10 with the exception of how dark mode is implemented now. That's honestly it for me. Battery life for me on the Note 8 and 9 have always been meh, but so has every other phone for me with the small exception of the Xperia Z Ultra and LG Optimus something big. Whatever the big one was.

I went back to Android 9 a couple days ago. To me, and this is just my opinion, 10 feels like 9 to me. And the sad thing is Samsung considers this a major update so that means the 9 will not see anymore other then security patches.

Google did state that Android 10 would be a significant improvement over Android Pie. Whether that is the case or not we have yet to be certain. But it is safe to say that Android Pie for the Note 9 will not be receiving any security patches now. As Samsung will only be releasing patches for Android 10 for the Note 9 from now on.
That is what I meant. 10 patches not Pie

On 10 and loving it. Miss a few good lock options. Battery life has been great while gaming compared to 9. I read a lot of posts here and have not run across any issues yet.
This is what I am waiting for, more news of good or bad experiences with A10. I am very happy on A9 (I have U1 variant) and I dont want to click update yet because I like it how it is. I hate that they stop security patches tho. Dark mode means squat, I have themes that work for that. I also use good lock features alot. I guess I will keep postponing the update till I see more threads about it. The silence is weird, normally there are pages of complaints after a new version comes out.

Iv been on 10 for awhile now, and i have noticed its a little sluggish. Flashed in odin, then i performed a factory reset and it is still sluggish. Hoping for an update soon
Yeah, comparing A10 to A9 (stock) is a different comparison than OneUI A10 to OneUI A9 (Samsung's) ... and that is because one of the major differences with stock Android is that A10 finally integrated dark mode.... But Samsung did that with OneUI on A9, sooo... I have OneUI with Android 9, everything is dark, it all looks good, and I like it. Also, nothing seems buggy.
It doesn't look like there is any reason at all to upgrade to OneUI w/A10, unless I like to take my chances and see if Samsung bugged up a rushed release.
I actually really, really, hate white apps. So if OneUI with A10 integrates dark mode into apps much better than it does with A9, then I would consider the upgrade, for Google apps like gmail, maps, docs, etc.
Good points from all. It's not that Android 10 is bad, it just doesnt seem much different then Android 9. For me the gestures were horrible. I'm sure peeps like them but just not for me.

Android 10 OTA has been great for me - getting better battery life and everything smooth and fluid. No problems whatsoever, and I just did the upgrade OTA, no clean wipe or anything like that (thankfully). Did use Galaxy Labs App Optimiser and I do believe apps open noticeably faster afterwards.
P.S. Still using navigation gestures as I was on 9 and notice little difference.
How are the gestures in 10 different from 9?
I have no buttons on my screen. Bottom right corner swipe up goes back to previous screen. Bottom middle swipe up goes to home screen. Bottom left swipe up shows all running apps.
Is OneUI/A10 different than that?
Someone can tell me how is the volume on Android 10 compared to Android 9? Is it louder or similar?

i think you are using 3rd party launchers? because the new full gestures can only be used on samaung one ui launcher
I am in San Francisco, with unlocked US Note 9, and have not received A10 update.
Has anyone on here in the bay area received it?
If needed, point me to another thread for this question.

Stock full screen gestures (no buttons showing) in settings > display > navigation bar. This is built into OneUI/A9

so you mean to say you dont have the new full screen gestures of android 10?
bdw your fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps?
I've had A10 for a few days now, and besides one small glitch (commas and periods are doubled when I press the icons, and sometimes the space doubles also using the space bar), I've had no issues with it.

I mean to say that I am running stock A9/OneUI with fullscreen gestures built into the OS (not from a third-party app), and from what people are describing about the fullscreen gestures in A10/OneUI, they are not any different. And yes, my fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps--no software buttons.
Ive found that A10 and UI2, cannot handle gestures and fullscreen mode any where near as well as A9 UI1.
Ive tried A10 twice now and both times, from a full wipe, the fullscreen/immersive mode messes up the A10 gestures. Whereas A9 can run fullscreen (no buttons, no taskbar, full immersive for all apps) and use gestures without any issue, and with just one swipe.
You try using proper fullscreen/immersive on A10 with gestures, and it takes two swipes to do anything, and Edge Panel Apps just gets ruined, as you cannot swipe open any more. There must be some conflict in Fullscreen/Immersive mode.
I use bxactions to toggle Fullscreen/Immersive from the Bixby button.

Question Repeat Notification on screen...?

Hey all, just picked up a mi 11 ultra, coming from a OnePlus 7pro. I have plus beat on my 7pro to show me on screen notifications from sms, email etc... Trying to find something that works on the Mi11 ultra, so far I've tried plus beat and AOE but I can't seem to get either to work. AOE will do a notification one time, but won't repeat after 5-20 seconds after the initial notification.... Anyone else attempting this, or have found a solution to have screen notification reminders?
I'm using Glimpse Notifications:

Very good app, many configuration options available, no battery drain.
Anyway, Plus Beat for Oneplus 7Pro is unbeatable, Xiaomi is missing the Ambient Display...
Perfect, thanks I'll give that a shot!
Thanks that works, not nearly as nice as plus but will do the trick, hopefully the pocket detection works...
I don't get why this isnt implemented into phones as an option... Repeat notifications

General Miui Global 12.5.1 Stable ROM - Likes & Issues

Hi ya'll,
I'm coming from Miui 12.0.5 Global on a RN8PRO and I have to say this OS is a downgrade but the phone itself is an upgrade. If anyone knows how to fix this or if they get an update which changes this before I do, please let me know.
Issues they changed, which wiegh highly on how it functions:
Silent/DND: I can only setup one schedule which sucks cause I like to have my phone turn on at a different time on the weekends
Individual App Notification Sounds: I was able to go into App Info > Notifications > Sound and change what sound file it plays but apparently not all apps are capable of doing this and I checked to see if the app is the same version, and they are on the RN8PRO vs RN10PRO
Likes:
Smart devices on the pull down menu
Better auto brightness on the RN10PRO but might be due to the AMOLED vs the IPS screen
Integration of the Google Page if you swipe to the right of the home screeen
Fingerprint scanner on the power button vs the back on the RN8PRO
I'll continue to update as I use more and figured it out...
I've noticed that 12.5.3 is out... anyone receive it yet?

Hi! How is version 12.5.2 working? I've read many comments about bugs on 12.5.0~12.5.1, but I would like to know if you feel 12.5.2 is an improvement over those.

nothing improvement, gallery bug and some bugs, wroste update
Miui 12.5.4 arrived yesterday on my Redmi Note 10 Pro (global).
So far pretty good, but I've noticed a couple of bugs.
The wallpaper zooms in for some reason and there's no way to fix it. I ended creating a larger wallpaper with a blank border to avoid it. It may be related to brightness adjustments.
If you disable one of the SIM cards, it still show up in the status bar (before the update, it didn't).

this bugged update . music player notification problem . long delays in browsing through storage . messaging apps like telegram notifications not showing message notifications . mxplayer crashing while playing video . zip and rar files not extracting in file explorer(default one) . and much more problems . notifications are nice though .
After updating to 12.5.4 it just became worse the whole system as a whole... I unlocked the bootloader and went back to 12.0.15 which is much less laggy and works great for my needs.
Hello on 12.5.3, i can't change wallpaper on launcher and lock screen. I Can chose, but itis appears black. Someone have this problème ?
