Screen on notification

Hi all,
I've searched this forum over and over but can't seem to find anything.
Just wondering if its possible for the screen to wake up when a new notification arrives? I sit my phone up at an angle facing me at work whilst charging and keep missing messages.
Surely there's a way? It's a bit nuts it isn't default.
Cheers.

go to messages settings notification display message on screen

Where's the Notification setting? I don't see them in Setting menu

That appears to only be a "sent" or "send failure" comfirmation. It doesn't display a new received message. I don't see that option.

I am using this app notify me. After installing it, go to accessibility and turn it on and off 2 times. Should work

This app also works really well and you can choose which apps you want the screen to light up for

[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.

No I don't I have Mate 7 so same software 5.1.1
google apps has its own settings.. i have yahoo mail and that is shown in notif lockscreen
reset the whole phone and start over..
Report.
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.

App icon notification problem

As the title says really, I don't seem to get any notifications on the app icons. Nothing for Facebook or Gmail etc. If I use nova launcher with Tesla they work but nothing with stock launcher

I'm on stock rom and don't always get notifications coming through straight away or on any apps to say I have a notification.

Yep. A deal killer for me

Still a relatively new device. Hopefully Huawei will sort this issue if they keep the updates coming.

Line and Facebook are the only apps I get notifications. Nothing else gets through.

Go to Settings-->Advanced-->Battery Manager>Protected Apps-->There you need to toggle the switch for every app you want to receive notifications from or you can toggle the All apps button at the top which will make multitasking much better but can drain the battery a little bit faster.

Just called HUAWEI support and "it is what it is", they do not support other apps besides their own apps at the moment.

EMUI 4 Lock Screen

If anyone can help:
I would like to change (or at least try) the EMUI4 default lockscreen - magazine. Does anyone know, firstly if this is possible, and secondly, what files do I have to modify?
Thanks in Advance!

Yes. It is possible. Go in setting---> screen lock and passwords--->screen lock styles.

Thanks, but I was talking about changing the code. If I did of what you said on the previous post, I wouldn't be able to get any notifications on the lockscreen.

So if i understand you correctly you want Magazine lock with notifications !!
If so it does work as mine is set like that.

Not exactly. In order to get all the notifications on this phone, you have to use the magazine. I wanted to make (or modify an existing one - even the magazine) lockscreen that would show all the notifications, with some shortcuts or even a time or weather widget, compatible with an s view case.
The simplest thing would be to transfer the displayed time on the upper half of the screen.

Ok I see, not sure In that case.

The only way I can think is clearing security credentials and using a third party lock screen. I did the same with my p8lite to remove stick lock screen. I tried with p9lite and i couldn't remove lock screen even when clearing credentials.

AOD / Screen off clock

I've got a CN version of this phone. I it updated the day after I received it so I think some of the notification issues mentioned before has been resolved... or at least I haven't experienced what some others have described yet.
at the moment I seem to be receiving the notifications as they arrive... but I still miss them because there is no easy way to know the notifications have arrived!!
The AOD / screen off clock is quite useless (at least in the CN ROM) it only shows the clock, missed call and SMS. Thats it. I'm trying notify buddy now, which kind of solves the problem. I say "kind of", because while it does allow me to have an LED notification, it deactivates the finger print sensor until you wake it. And also I seem to be getting large battery drain with it.
AOE doesn't work for me.
Is there anyway to get the screen off clock to show other notifications as well ?
Thanks for anyones help.

I got EU version and have exactly the same problem. ColorOS 6.1

I googled a lot trying to find a way to personalize AOD clock (like Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro) but I couldn't find anything.
I searched also for a method to make it show other notifications but there isn't nothing.
Maybebe someone else found something?
Unfortunately I think the situation won't change too much with Android 10.

Actually it will. Android 10/reame ui brings new AOD with notification and customizations.
Have look here at 3:48

I'm afraid he said nothing about app notifications on AOD. Although, there is a notification switch in Screen-Off Display settings, so maybe there is a chance

Its really annoying that they made a phone without useful AOD notifications AND without an LED for notifications.. having to turn on the screen to check for notifications is inconvenient and probably uses more battery.
really hope the next update sorts this out.
on a side note, notifybuddy does solve kinda solve this problem.. but its not an elegant solution.
major battery drain and the finger print sensor is blocked by the notifybuddy overlay..

I'm planning to buy the X2 pro and had the same question. Does the phone allow to see new app notification preview on screen off display (AOD)... and not just the app icon?
Currently I am using the mia1 and I am able to see new app notification flashes in Ambient mode... without waking the phone.
Thanks in advance.

The screen edge flashes for a couple of seconds when you recieve something, though you can't know which app it is if you have multiple notifications. No preview as far as I've noticed.

Thanks. Sad to know that even an app icon doesn't show up on a screen off display If they want to move closer to stock Android these are some of the features they should have. Oxygen atleast has paid heed to this concern by releasing beta versions for op7 and op7t.
Personalising the screen off clocks doesn't help me much. I'd rather do away with the clock and mantra and get the msg preview feature in.
Thanks

Ah no, that's not what I mean. You get the icon, but it doesn't show the message or blink the icon (so if you have multiple icons, you don't know which is the current notification).
