Updated to Oreo, notification pull down bar changed and it's annoying - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

I have Huawei P10, newly bought and came with Nougat but then the update for Oreo was available so I updated it...
Now I don't like how the pull down notification has changed. When I swipe from the top down it opens whole notification window at once. It doesn't open firstly 1 row and then on the 2nd swipe down the whole window.
This is what I'm talking about:

Is there a way to change it like it was before?

I am having the same issue. Plus with the auto-brightness deactivated, the screen changes the brightness as her wish, and sometimes the screens turns on without getting a notification. I asked for help in this forum, you can search the thread, but the only solution that they gave me, was that i make a wipe cache and a factory reset and the problem will be gone. I did it, i even downgraded again to nougat, and then update again. Nothing didn't work, so early this week i leave the phone on a tech support, and im waiting. Try the solution for yourself and if it doesn't work, do the same, go to the tech support. (sorry for my english)

I make an update for if anyone is interested. Got the phone again from the tech support, the problem still exist, just got the update 8.0.0.365. Huawei didn't fix the problem. If anyone knows any other way to fix it, please post it.

The same happened to me as well after the july update. Pulldown bar goes up in 2 slides, but down, it opens completely from just one slide. I did have a custom theme installed which modified the collors of the icons in the pulldown menu. I guess this was affected by the update. Problem is I can no longer find the theme to reinstall and uninstall. I am hoping for a solution besides a factory reset

backup and factory reset and restore. .... manner of 1 hour. Its highly recomended to do FR (factory reset) every major update nad update form nougat to oreo is one of these.
I have no screen issues or auto brightness or self turning on of display.
For the pulldown menu. When i have no notifications and swipe down i see all 2 rows of switches and brightness bar. When i have some notifications after swipe down i see only first row of switches and the notificitaion and i have to swipe again to see full notification list. Its how its mean to work on Oreo. Get used to it or go back to nougat

I apologize, I am an idiot. I will explain:
Ever since buying the phone, I installed a weather app (not sure if I'm allowed to write the name so I'll leave it out). Point is, that particular app always had a notification on, whenever I was swiping down, so naturally, the phone only showed 1 row of icons from the pull down menu. I uninstalled it a few weeks ago because it was not working right, due to the DCMA notifications, it started to hang, become inaccessible, stuff like that.
After taking it down, I've noticed that the pull down menu was showing in full. I thought this was either due to a theme I installed before the July update, that miss-fired , during the upgrade, or the new update screwed up my pull down bar.
So, naturally, I did what you wrote, first, a Factory Data Reset. No dice, pull bar still went down fully. I thought, ok, try the hard way, so I did a full Factory Reset (Phone Off, Phone On with Power button and Volume Button pressed). Still no dice, bar was full. I did the full reset again, this time deleting the cache as well. Again, the bar was full. So, I said (insert bad word) it, I'll use it like this, even tho I did not really liked it. Restored everything from back-up, and after I've configured everything, I decided to give the weather app another try. Pull Down Bar now only shows one row of icons, just like before.
Sorry for the wall of text.
Thank you again for the advice, and for your patience.

Frustration with notification bar colours... THEY KEEP COMING BACK!

A few weeks back when I was messing around with CM6 nightlies, I tried using the inbuilt notification bar colour options to change the bar to black. I used it for a while and then noticed something, the changes keep coming back...
I have wiped/formatted MULTIPLE times since (including the SD card). I am now currently on CM6 final, and yet again the weird colour settings keep coming back.
Ex - Wiped/formated (including SD) today, flashed CM6 final. After the first reboot everything is stock CM6 (i.e. white notification bar). I reboot the phone again, and boom the weird dark colour changes now appear with the notification bar. I have tried resetting the changes, nothing. I have tried flashing themes (elegant steel today) and while they appear to work, the bar colours are all messed up even after successfully importing the xml. It's almost like they have merged with the old settings.
I'm seriously getting a little pissed. I don't understand why the bar settings ALWAYS come back even after full wipes/format or even after resetting the UI in CM settings. Is there some kind of backup somewhere? (I assume through google because the data on the card and phone has been wiped so many times).
Little help?
For what it's worth another reset of UI, davlik re-wipe and reflash fixed most of it. Also make sure that custom bar and drop down menu in CM settings are both unchecked generally. Mine always were, but apparently checking and then unchecking them again can help.

[Q] Help! My HTC One crashed and now my lock screen is broken

In advance I want to say thank you for taking the time to read this. I've searched all over the internet and cannot find anything about this anywhere.
Tonight my HTC One randomly restarted and when it came back up, all my sense settings were restored to default, minus features. I.e. my quick settings menu was restored to default quick settings links and the order changed. The font size throughout the phone was restored to medium. The time changed back to 12 hour mode from 24 hour mode. My ringtone/notification/alarm tons were restored to default. But most frustratingly, the lock screen is messed up. I can only swipe up to unlock, instead of swiping left and right to get to blinkfeed, etc. And all of my shortcuts are inaccessible from the lock screen--as in, my messages, phone, email, etc--I can no longer swipe up on the icons (because they are not there) to immediately open those apps. I have to swipe up to unlock then tap the icon. Also, I no longer have message or missed call previews on the lock screen. It shows the time and weather but nothing else, even when I have notifications. Note that none of my other settings were restored to default--my shortcuts on the different panels are the same, my background the same, no apps were lost, etc.
Please, please help me.
Edit: my power saver mode icon is no longer available in the drop-down menu when it's enabled (i.e. there's the notification for it with the check box on the right that allows me to turn it off and that notification is no longer there).
and your rom is...?

Stock. Does no one have any info on this error?
Did you try factory reset? If you didn't, try it, but backup your phone first

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

Notification drawer problem

Since yesterday evening I can not get the notification and settings drawer to expand no matter what I do. I does expand when I am in the home screen, but that is due to the swipe down gesture. In no other app of the phone I can not make it to expand. I did a full wipe of the phone but nothing has changed. I am in the latest software 10.2.2.0 stable and the phone is not rooted. Has it happened to any one of you guys?
Thanks

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).

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
