Aodnotify works, especially the ring surrounding the front camera. I've never tried SideActions, I think there is a function directly in the mobile phone with the same functionality.

Like or similarly to the S9+, is there a way to only show a notification around the camera ring and not have to see the time/date/notification icons display on a black lockscreen for X amount of hours?

Edge lighting

I have my edge lighting set up correctly and it works when i have a preview. I even gave it access to every probram to see if i could get it to do anything. Anybody with a unlocked version have theirs work???
I'm not having the same problem, I get edge notifications when the screen is ON, but no notification when the screen is off / always on screen is on... Was looking in the s8 thread and this seems to be some firmware bug many people have... Not sure why it hasn't been fixed or if a permanent solution as some people have the problem while others don't. I'm using a Verizon note 8 by the way...
I am using a unlocked note 8 on verizon. It has never worked not once. Its not a big deal but it would have been nice to have it work.
It seems to only work for me when I use the samsung app and not the verizon app. I like the verizon app better as it tells me it the wife is typing back of just ignoring me
Have an unlocked Exynos UK variant here and despite trying all kinds of settings, the Edge Display isn't working. Searching the web seems to show this is a bit of a problem. for quite a few owners...
Hopefully will be fixed by an update at some point in the near future (fingers crossed).

Exposure adjustment, focus, white balanced, ISO, all the features that are available in the photo pro mode. They are no longer available for video recording.
According to a Samsung Care Ambassador, the OEM is well aware of the situation, and may fix the issue in a future update.

Not feeling much love for my P30 Pro yet

Hi, I am a long time Samsung Galaxy user, my last phone was the Galaxy S8+ i have just come to upgrade and thought I’d try the Huawei P30 Pro and seems it uses android as well, i thought it can't be much different. i have 14 days return and I’m really not sure if i am going to keep it or ask can i swap for an S10+
I don't know if i am just being biased because I’ve had Samsung for so long but i just hope someone here can persuade me keeping the P30 won't be too bad and that some of my issues are fixable.
I don't seem to be getting some notifications, mainly games, i seem to get texts but not always others, although if i turn my s8+ on, they still seem to be coming through on there. I have checked most settings i can find but can't see anything obvious, i have added the games to the app assistant.
I didn't know that this Huawei phone didn't have a notification LED, i guess it’s only a small thing but it's amazing how much you miss that flashing light, are there any ways to get any other screen notifications in some way?
The phone doesn't retain the Auto brightness setting when i restart the phone, I’m a bit confused by this as it would seem that Huawei may have this as a feature rather than a bug, I’ve read online that this is how these phones are set but surely you would want the setting to be retained how you leave it? is this a bug or here to stay? i keep turning auto off but every time i restart its back on!
The vibrate is extremely shallow to the point i hardly even feel it.
The optical zoom doesn't function if in 40mp resolution? what’s that all about, i tried it earlier and it says on it that it only works in 10mp resolution? the res you are in shouldn't stop the optics from moving should it? Also when set to 10mp and you can zoom, the zooming isn’t smooth in any way at all, it looks extremely jerky.
even though i have auto brightness off and also smart resolution set to off (which switches between low and high depending on what’s on the screen) - even though these are off i keep seeing my screen kind of flickering when i switch between something like a website to a picture etc, like the phone is still using the smart resolution. if i go to a website the white parts might be bright white for a split second then kind of flicker to a duller white.
I have only had the phone for 2 days but that’s is what is kind of bugging me a bit already if anyone can advise at all on any of them issues?
Thanks

About the "zoom", it's not an actual zoom and you are misunderstanding how it works. Having a look at the backside of the phone would explain some to you but i'll give it a go..
You got three lenses which equals three fixed focal lengths. This means you are simply jumping from one camera to the other when you perform a "zoom", which explains the jerkiness. It's expected behavior and is supposed to work like that since there is no gradual zoom with moving lense elements.
Each of these cameras have their own sensor which works at specific megapixels, there is no 40mpix sensor in all these three camera modules on the back of the device. The 5x tele lens has a 8mpix sensor. The ultrawide angle 16mm sensor is 20mpix and the main sensor is 40mpix which normally operates at 10mpix due to pixel binning.
The auto brightness is a long standing bug on Huawei devices, it's annoying and stupid i agree but it's there.

Samsung has gone a step further on improving there software. Its really fluid and very user friendly. Huawei should focus on that aspect on there flagship.

One little thing I miss from my Galaxy S8+ was the coloured app notification icons on the Always On Display.
Was good for seeing where my notifications were from at-a-glance (blue for Messenger, red for YouTube, green for WhatsApp etc.).
Not having any of those problems with mine. In fact I'm ditching my Galaxy S10+ and keeping the P30 Pro. The fingerprint scanner on the Huawei is faster and more reliable than the one on the Samsung, the camera setup is far more versatile, battery life is better and I immediately stick Nova launcher on anyway so I don't have to put up with EMUI or One UI.

1. It's not Samsung
2. I had the S10... this camera is superior in every way except maybe video... (I don't shoot video in 4K for my purposes so it doesn't bother me)
3. Above camera superiority overall, the 5x & 10x zooms brings a whole new world of shooting pictures. I can truly leave a big camera / big lens at home now.
4. More true-tone pictures... people hate to admit this... but the real world is not over-saturated... Apple, Samsung, etc. stop promoting this as the normal for picture taking....
5. Features yet to be turned on but soon in updates... dual video record (maybe), TOF Sensor utilization (next update), etc.
Honestly though, I'm not a complete Samsung hater. I just hate the way Samsung does business... how can they release their "flagship" S10+ then months later add features to the 5G phone they definitely should have been included with the original... like the additional lenses... Am I considering the Samsung S10 5G. Sure I am... Will I maybe wait for the Mate 30 Pro... more than likely. Huawei, for all the talk about what they steal, they also keep trying to innovate... unlike Apple and to some extent Samsung.
At the end of the day, reserve your judgement until you get to use the camera on the phone when you need a zoom... like at a zoo, concert, etc. where you can't be right against the action... take a few pictures then compare to maybe your friends pictures... you'll then realize what the hype is over... :good:

I appreciate your point but unless you're an obsessive settings tweaker (which I'm not - once my phone is set to my liking I leave it alone) EMUI/One UI fades in to the background.

That's the thing; it doesn't just disappear.
I use Nova Launcher too but here are some EMUI annoyances (for me):
Not being able to open the tray from the lock screen
No quick launch shortcut to launch the camera from anywhere (such as double-pressing the power button)
The Phone app taking over any active app (annoying when navigating with Google Maps)

Fair points. You can launch the camera by double pressing volume down though. Haven't come across the phone/Map problem yet.

I know. But if you've already got the phone unlocked I've never found shortcuts to the camera to be of much use. As they say, YMMV.

The google maps issue is just a settings tweak with app draw over preferences.
the choices made by Huawei are logical ones... for Instance:
1. Tray not being able to open from lockscreen - this is annoying but the logical Hauwei take on this is that it doesn't allow someone to mess with the phone settings until security is verified... I'll give you the iPhone as an example. I can get into the app drawer from the lockscreen without anything being verified security wise meaning I can harmlessly turn on someone's flashlight if I wanted to as a prank (to let the battery drain faster) all the way up to maliciously turning off all connectivity of the phone... meaning calls, emails, etc. can't get to the phone... can you see the issues this may cause? personally the annoyance is small to my piece of mind that no one can screw with anything on my phone.
2. My theme has quick launch on lockscreen for camera... or press volume down twice so its in there you just can't readily tweak it
I have read online about the setting for app power consumption and to switch manage automatically off so that the phone wont keep alls from receiving notifications and let them run in the background. will have to try it and see.

Funny enough, I also upgraded from an S8+. There are definitely minor bugs, but nothing deal-breaking for me. As for notifications lagging behind, it's a known Huawei bug. You need to turn off auto-app management for the apps you want to get notifications pushed.

I had every Galaxy S and Note phones that were ever released, every one. Last year, I was interested in the P20 P30, ditched my S9 for my first Huawei phone ever, and I loved every bit of it. Then I skipped on pre-ordering the Note 9, something I have never done before, I waited because I wanted to get the Mate 20 Pro, but that was a bad experience for me and my wife, as we had 6 units replaced in total due to glue gate. After returning it, I went back to Samsung, got the Note 9, and I was then reminded how bad Samsung's cameras have gone when compared to the latest from Huawei, Google, and Apple. Still, I believed that Samsung will definitely deliver with the S10, and the moment it was announced, I pulled the plug and ordered two S10 Plus for myself and my wife. Just 3 weeks were enough for me to get sick of it's subpar low light photography, especially indoors and mainly if you're taking pictures of kids, as Samsung cameras struggle with moving objects. My wife doesn't care that much about cameras, but I do, so I ditched it for the P30 Pro and I couldn't be any happier with it in my pocket.
The camera is much better than the one on the S10, especially if we are talking about the exynos version, which was the case for me. Videos might not be up to Samsung and Apple's standards, but at 1080 it is close, and even better in low light situations and indoors as well. Battery life is much better, the UI while isn't the prettiest, it feels a bit more zippy than the S10, which isn't a slouch either.
Now fixes for your problems.
For notifications, go to battery settings, and select the apps you don't want the phone to put in sleep, you won't be missing your notifications after that.
Notifications led is also missing on the S10, so on both phones you'll have to rely on AOD, which for some reason, doesn't affect your battery life on the P30 Pro as much as it did for me on the S10.
Fps while it was improved after the latest update, and I can confirm that it got significantly better, it's still no match in terms of accuracy and speed to the one on the P30 Pro.
Accidental touches are a nightmare on the S10 Plus, the curve is smaller, but it sits much closer to your palm. An issue that I don't face on the P30 Pro.
From my 6 months experience with the P20 Pro, the camera on the P30 Pro will improve by at least 20%, with every update, Huawei makes sure they keep on improving their image processing. While on Samsung, and I am sure you know that, Samsung only irons out the camera issues that comes with the software that the phone was released with, so after a month or so, forget about Samsung working on improving your pictures.
Pardon me for the long ass essay, but from my experience with Samsung phones, and the S10 in particular, I would advise you to hold on to your phone. Their is a learning curve for their UI, but once you get it, you'll love your phone.
Thanks for the replies, what themes are people using? I have tried the app management setting and it did seem to have fixed my notification issue.

I also use Nova Launcher - Since Galaxy S6 - and haven't looked back!
I'm very surprised (and very pleased) to hear that the finger print scanner on the P30 works faster AND more reliable than the one on S10+ - can you please elaborate more?
I noticed that mine works very well, actually extremely well. Always wondered what the ultrasonic reader must be like if the claim of being more accurate is true!!???

On screen notification, work around needed

Dears,
I'm a new owner of a brand new x2 pro, everything's fine so far, but there's just a thing that hassles me and it's the missing notification LED.
I'd like to use one of these workaround apps designed for super Amoled screen but so far, can't find any properly working on my x2 pro.
Tried with AOE (always on edge) but it seems to work randomically... All I need is an app which, in case of screen turned off and with an incoming notification (e.g., a WhatsApp message), automatically switches on a notification effect on screen which should continue blinking until I read the notification itself.
Basically, something that recalls the good old rgb led on phones of some years ago... Is there anything which you tested on Realme phones and it's 100% working?
Thanks a lot
Try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Yeah, notifyBuddy did the job
I'd love to have a bit more chance on the notification type (only pulsing spot is available here) but hey, it's from a developer from XDA devs
Edit : nevermind, it doesn't work in a stable way. Most of the times notifications are ignored.
anyone knows if this working https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe

NotifyBuddy works perfectly fine on mine!
You will have to exclude it from power saving.
On my X2Pro, notifyBuddy works 1 time out of 4 notification, approximately. I guess it's due to the lockscreen as I disabled any battery optimization for the app.
On the other side, AoE works even worse... Still waiting for a solution for notifications.

Question S21 ULTRA fingrrprint much worse than on s20 ultra

On my new S21 ultra my thumbs can't be recognized.... even cant fix it with S20 ultra trick (disable biometric app from battery optimization, quick tap with left and right thumb..)
I just disabled Fingerprint recognizion cos it is useless. I tried for me that 10 days... It is just very veery bad....
I haven't had any issues with the fingerprint reader. Works 100% of the time for me. Do you have a screen protector on it?
no issues here, its way faster than my s20 ultra I traded in, I add 2 thumb prints for each thumbs and works perfect
Mine works as well, included with a glass screen protector

Odd, have you tried wiping the phone and start over? Like everyone else here, my s21 ultra has 0 misses (even with screen protector), it's faster than the one in the Note 20 Ultra. If wiping doesnt work, it might be a defective unit maybe?
Mine is working great also! Im really impressed with the speed that it recognizes my thumb as well. Im an auto mechanic and often have dirty fingers while unlocking and using my phone. NO PROBLEMS!
Mine is waaaaaay better than the s20. Record like 4 of the same fingerprint. I even have a whitestone on, works great...
Fingerprint is better than my Note 10 + but nowhere near as good as Huawei P30 Pro was or Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.
Turning on the extra sensitivity in the options helps but still do not get 100% recognition, lucky if I get 75%.
Hm it is better if I use battery optimization on biometric app... now it is working great
Suuuuuuuuux. Don't work every time I take a shower.... Fingerprint sensor just don't work on any of my finger. Even cant add new one .. just don't recognize fingerprint...
There's nothing wrong the S21 Ultra's fingerprint sensor. Seems like either bought an S20 and regret it or you bought a S21 Ultra that was defective.
Do you have screen protector on?
I too think it sucks. Useless as it fails three times in a row deactivating the finger print login on my bank for example. It's no good
I have original screen protector.
P.S. I changed screen protector on S20 fingerprint sensor and it is much better now.
On S21 is much worse... It works good one day, other day nothing works. Special after I take a shower... Fingerprint can't be readable.... Don't know how to fix it
It doesn't work at all for me either. I just gave up and use facial recognition now.

Also strange, it's fine on my end.
Could be the shower "softens" the skin on your finger?
On the other hand, if it works no matter what on your previous device, maybe the S21U you have is defective, and you could ask for a replacement.
S20 ultra was trash in every department compared to s21 ultra so must be defective or a strong screen protector that's all I can think of,as it's way better
Enabling touch sensitivity for me helped quite a bit with the stock screen protector on, but it's still way worse than the Xiaomi I came from. I'm not sure why but it feels like half the time it fails on the first try. Maybe I'll try taking the protector off and see how that goes.
Before enabling touch sensitivity I was having my fingerprint fail 5 times in a row prompting the lock happen at least every couple of days, even after re-scanning fingerprints. I just feel like it might be the screen protector though.
And now all of a sudden it workes FLOWLESLY EVERYTIME FOR A LAST FEW DAYS... HOPE IT WILL STILL THAT WAY

On my new S21 ultra my thumbs can't be recognized.... even cant fix it with S20 ultra trick (disable biometric app from battery optimization, quick tap with left and right thumb..)
I just disabled Fingerprint recognizion cos it is useless. I tried for me that 10 days... It is just very veery bad....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I really can't find this option in Settings.
It is just not there, not in the list under Apps > Special access, not by searching in the bar, not in Battery settings..
I wish I could try to disable the biometric service from the Battery Optimization but I really can't find out how.
Any tips?
Thank you.
