[Q] Disabling Notification on HtcPowerManager.apk

Is there a way to disable the notification that is always there in the drop down notification bar? I go to the settings and the option to disable it is greyed out. I don't want to remove it, because I like it how it is. But I really hate seeing it every time I pull down the notification bar. I tried following steps at http://teamdirt.me/showthread.php?126-Disable-Power-Saver_Notification but I guess I'm a noobie at decompiling. I used apk manager and it just gives me the files, not the code that the directions show. What do I need to do to do it properly? Thank you to anyone who reads this.

If you are on 4.3 it doesn't show up unless Enabled, if you are rooted and on 4.3 then you can use Disable Service to disable the notification service through that app. If on 4.1 then it shows when both Enabled AND Disabled so then you can use that same app if rooted to disable the Noti Service. Now, if you aren't rooted then all you need to do is go ahead and Force Stop the app through Settings but will have to Force Stop every time the Status of the Power Management changes. Going this route, same as with the rooted method, will still Power Management and Power Saver to run but not show the Noti Icon.

if you're rooted, we have a mod in our mod pack to remove it from notifications

Thanks a bunch, using the disable service app really did the trick.

You're welcome, I personally do not like installing modifications or modifying system apps due to the high risk of messing something else up but with that app it only disables that service instead of removing it which I am perfectly fine with.

B303: Display network speed missing after factory reset

Hi,
I have a weird issue. I updated from B145 to B303 today, and things were quite okay, but some apps behaved weirdly, so I did a factory reset. However, since then I am unable to see the option "Display Network Speed" in "Notification Panel and Status Bar". The weird thing is, if I use the search in settings I find the result, when I tap on it, I don't see any way to change that value.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thank you in advance

Yes mine behaves the same, appears in list when I search for it but missing from the notifications and status bar settings.
Maybe Huawei removed it by mistake or maybe it's something they will enable in future updates.
I've been trying to follow the Beta testing for the Chinese version of the phone and it seems they are on about the third update...there is talk of the fingerprint sensor functions that were missing being added soon (long press to return to home screen, single press to go back one screen/action)
They even have updates for something called VoLTE which I think is some kind of 4G network they use in China.
Just have to sit tight and wait for some updates although progress does seem slow

Because an app is obscuring a permission request... when trying to USB Debug Website

I have an unrooted/unchanged/stock Huawei P10 running EMUI 5.1 and am trying to debug a website I'm making. Latest Chrome on the P10 and latest Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2013) High Sierra 10.13
The route worked on all my previous devices. USB Debugging is checked on, I plug in the cable and say yes to the prompt "Allow Access to device data?". Next prompt "Allow USB Debugging" -> OK gives me the following error: "An App is obscuring a permission request. Settings can't verify your response"
Looking for solutions I read stuff about background apps which mess up things. All I know of / remember installing is "Mi Band Tools", and "Pie Controls".
I tried to shut down "Mi Band Tools" via Settings -> Apps -> Mi Band Tools -> "Stop" – But it seems not to be stopped for long? Since I don't know if this would solve the problem anways, I figured to come here first. It would be great if I wouldn't have to uninstall these apps.. always a pain to restore etc.
Thank you very much!

*gentle push*, because the problem still remains

I had the same problem with my Huawei Honor View10.
I had to uncheck the "Permit drawing over other apps" for a (in my case) JINA Drawer. Maybe you have to uncheck an other one...
In EMUI 8 = Settings - Apps - Apps & notifications - Apps - Settings (bottom of screen) - Special access - Draw over other apps
Good luck!

Holy Moly.. this setting is hidden as hell; on my P10 running EMUI 5.1 (german), the setting path was:
settings > apps > settings (corg button at the bottom left) > special access > draw over other apps > talkback
Thank youuu!

Yes! On my device Mate 1o Pro, it was Talkback as well that ¨obscured a permission request¨.

If you have a custom rom with Smart Pixels and it is turned on, it will do this also. Turn it off, retry,

Fix #2 - if it works
i was messing with my Samsung Galaxy J7 Core J701F/DS and I was trying to figure out your problem also because i got the same problem as yours so the thing that worked for me is going to Settings (Nougat 7.0/1)> Apps> 3-dot menu/optionsl settings/other settings> Special Access> Apps that can be on top> Disable all apps like literally disable them all and try to debug your phone again...if it works, enable apps in that setting one by one and repeat debugging process. If it doesnt work, disable the last app you enabled, and if it works again...that is the app that is doing the dirty work...mine was not in the system apps it was one of my apps which is AZ Screen Recorder lol....(why the app that is being used everyday need to be disabled....)

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
3. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first.
PS : Of all the 3 solutions try the possible ones.
Hope it helps.

This put me on the right track.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. My Keeper Security app needs permission to Draw over other apps and since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. The app would warn me that I need to turn on this permission, but when I clicked "OK" in the Keeper app to take me to the Android setting for the app, it was always turned on. I could turn it ON/OFF, along with the setting that needed this permission in the Keeper app (called Keeper Fill) and eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!

Notification problem

Hello, I installed the last Global ROM (11.3.3). I have a problem with notification: there's the same bug as all Xiaomi devices with notch: the notification doesn't appear near the clock.
Moreover, WhatsApp notification doesn't appear in the lockscreen (even if I selected to show the notifications in the app settings). This fact, anyway, does not show if I remove the lockscreen PIN.
There's a fix for these two problems?

I cant post screenshots as a new user..
Anyways, Settings/Display/Notch&Status Bar/ and hit the "enable icons" which is disabled.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! It restored the notification in the notification area. But I'd like also to know how to show the notifications in the lockscreen. The problem seems to be only with whatsapp, as Facebook's and Instagram's (for example) notifications are shown there.

I am trying but I can't find it right now.
What I can say is, I did have working notifications at some point but it allowed anyone to see the content of my Whatsapp messages and even reply to them without unlocking the phone so I turned them off somehow (was probably Special Settings/Quick replies)
Going to look further, the Notifications in Settings don't do anything. It could have something to do with me blocking the Internet on most Xiaomi apps but I sure hope that's not the case.
Edit: found something interesting in settings/apps/other settings. Selected messages and at thr bottom there is a setting to show notifications and guess what. it only has a single option related to the lock screen "don't show notifications at all" so it cannot be changed.
woah this miui is a mess
edit: I went ahead and debloated the phone from most of the Xiaomi apps. I have no access no notifications settings anymore but it didn't fix the problem
edit2: softlocked my phone and had to wipe everything. Notifications are back on stock lol

FIXED IT! woohoo!
After many, many hours of messing with my phone .. here's what you have to do:
Settings-Passwords & security - Privacy - Special app access - Battery optimisation
Here, click the blue bar and select "All apps"
Now scroll down until you find "Notifications" and open it.
Select "Don't optimise"
Holy mother of god NOW THAT'S A MAZE IF I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE!
sorry about the double post but wtf Miui
Edit: it breaks after the first notification. Then I reboot the phone and again it works for the first notification uhm yeah I give up. So I put it in Optimisation mode again, along with Always On and settings storage (had disabled them earlier) and now notifications pop on my lock screen but only new notifications!
Once I've unlocked the phone, the lock screen is empty until something new comes. However my Apple Music app now shows on lock screen as well with the typical controls for switching songs.

Thanks man!! I'll give a try! I've also discovered that notification were blocked, on lockscreen, for some contacts (the ones I wanted to be shown). I definitely agree with you that MIUI is a mess... My last phone was an OnePlus 6T, now I own a Mi 9T Pro. The hardware is amazing, but the software is a crap compared to the OxygenOS.

The icon gear blocks notification bar

Hi, I need your opinion. I have a problem with the notification bar after the last update of Android. Randomly appears gear icon on the bar and after that, I cannot pull down the notification bar. I don't know if that problem is related to the Android update. Maybe it is something else. I need to know how to identify the gear icon. When I kill all running apps, gear icon disappears and everything is OK.
What process could do that? I don't have root permissions. I have official global ROM with MIUI Global 11.0.6.0 (QFAEUXM). I don't want to do a factory reset.
Thank you so much

Yikes... Did you do anything that could've triggered that? Like for instance, were you playing with system apps or trying new settings? Or game mode? Because I know that game mode has an option that won't let you pull down the notification bar. I know that it may not be possible for that to happen, but I have to ask just in case (I'm talking about the game mode scenario).

I have the same error ( MI 9)

the notification bar remains black and can't be pulled down

havesam problem tough.but i just need scroll down little bit,i mean not from edge of the screen.

Same issue, Mi 9 SE, MIUI Global 11.0.2 .... with the same gear icon, with the same solution, what you just mentioned. Did anyone find a working solution?

found out what's causing the ominous notification
Hey, I downloaded an app called Notification History and it showed me that most probably it's the notification linked below. Unfortunately I'm still unable to solve the problem because I cannot start that app.
im#gur.com/a/EnleCU5(as I'm not yet allowed to post links, remove the hashmark)
Of course, I'm unable to tap there since I can't pull down the notification bar

Found a solution!!

Okay, all I did was re-downloading the latest patch from Settings->About phone->System update->3 dots in the top right corner->download latest package, and then installed it. It solved my problem so far, without any data loss or reinstalling. Hope this helps y'all!
UPDATE: The issue came back a day later, so I finally decided to factory reset the phone... smh Xiaomi
