Question Help With Notification Differences Between Phones During Video Playback? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from the S10+ to the S21 Ultra and I'm having this weird irritating issue and I can't seem to find the culprit.
On my S10+, if I'm watching a full screen video such as in Youtube or Netflix and I get a text/facebook message/snapchat/etc, I get no brief pop-up, and the notification just goes into my notification tray and doesn't get in the way of the video. On my S21 Ultra, no matter what I seem to do, unless I disable pop-up notifications entirely, I can't seem to make them not come up while I am in full screen videos like they did on the S10+.
I've gone through setting by setting with the phones side by side under notifications, app specific settings, everything and nothing seems to solve the issue. I've even tried to use smartswitch and import all of my settings from my S10+ and it still doesn't fix it.
Did Samsung remove the ability for pop-up notifications to not disturb full screen apps/videos? Or am I missing something very obvious here? I'm sort of losing my mind as I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now.
Thanks all!

Hmm I have also noticed this behavior, it's very intrusive but I didn't realize it was a new thing with the S21 Ultra. I just assumed it was my fault for not configuring things accordingly, but now that I think about it, yes, it seems incorrect that the S21 Ultra won't respect full-screen video playback

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.

Nova is just the launcher. The system UI controls far more aspects than just the launcher. EMUI/One UI is everywhere.

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.
How can you not the love when you get shots like this

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!!???

NX627J_ENCommon_V2.03 Issues

Hello,
As I own this device for month now, I wanted to share all the software issues I have discovered.
First of all, recording videos. When you move around while recording, the video is choppy. That is pretty much big issue for me as it's one of the features I used to use with previous phone.
Second, selfie camera. When you switch to selfie, default mode is Photo with function "Pretty" set to value 2 - sadly this function mostly makes faces look inhuman (e.g. widening the face) and so having this as default setting when opening the camera app is not really good.
Third - random reboots. I didn't figure out why is it really happening, but it's there. Luckily it has never happened during a call or any activity from my side.
Fourth - when turning off one screen, second screed blinks for very little while. That doesn't really look good either.
Did you also encounter (any of) these issues?

So far so good
I've been using this phone for 3 weeks now
( Without google apps obviously)
This phone is really good
The only issue I've having with this phone is that the screen flickers in some part of the display
Like I'm using all the apps the display is fine but when I'm in Gallery it flickers and it's annoying
I don't know why it's happening
Second the camera quality isn't that great it has all this beautification going on but
I do like that camera family thing it's pretty cool

Guys I have a European z20. The system camera crashes when I try to change from main camera to wide angle or zoom on the tip and shoot. In pro mode instead it works regularly. Anyone who has the european z20 confirm it to me as a bug? Thank you
The phone is lagging with this ugly stock rom. I will try to install the chinese rom, I dont like the global rom, its too bad.
I am willing risk and try this rom. I'm on NC627J_ENCommon_v1.03 and haven't got update for months . I'm guessing if I can flash, can I do it locally on my phone in software update? And is it possible to link me to this rom. I would appreciate it.

Question Delayed notifications?

So i absolutely love this phone coming from an iPhone. However, i have one annoying issue and that is that my notifications on my iPhone were instant. On my S21 Ultra they seem to be delayed 2 - 3 seconds which is no biggie BUUUT sometimes they will not come through what so ever until i unlock the phone.
Twitter for example. I might get a notification immediately on my iPhone but i check my S21 Ultra and i see nothing. Then the second i use my fingerprint to unlock the device it comes through? I cannot find anything in the settings to fix this. Background activity etc is turned on and i disabled optimise battery usage for specific apps also.
Any thoughts?

Question Edge Lighting Not Working?

My faithful Samsung S5 Mini finally died and still getting head around quite a lot of things as I've only had the phone for a few days but for the life of me I cant seem to get the edge lighting to work...
The phone was on Color OS 11 but auto updated to 12 (CPH2173_11_C.46), unfortunately I never got the chance to test it on Color OS 11 so don't know if it ever has / did work.
If I go Settings > Personalisations > Edge Lighting there is the option to pick one of three colours, this shows an animation of a simulated effect but doesn't demo it on the actual screen.
Found a few guides online but they seem to be for Color OS 11, the menus are different and many options don't exist any more - I have reset the phone phone as recomented when upgrading to a new Android version but this has made no difference.
Pretty sure It's something simple I've missed like some obscure notification setting but compared to the S5 Mini its a whole new level of complex lol
Rather randomly the AoD works fine, just not the edge lighting.
Thanks in advance
Do you have "wake screen when a notification is received" on? This might disable edge lighting.
The edge lighting is poor anyway, it only flashes twice so blink and you'll miss it.
Plus they massively reduced the options in 12 so it's pretty hard to see. Big backwards step IMO.
Thanks for the reply. Checked the settings and got the mrs to send an SMS whilst i hand the phone in front of me, as you said it flashed twice and that was it - looks like a typical case of operator error as I was expecting it to work in a similar way to a good old fashioned notification LED and flash until the notification had been cleared
Will have a look around for a half decent app that offers something close enough to how I was thinking it worked.

Oh no they don't work like that, in my Samsung S10, the edge lighting worked in similar fashion as the Oppo. I would imagine it would take too much energy if it were flashing until you cleared it (say if you get a message while you are sleeping). Maybe AOD is the better alternatives as you can glance your screen and see any incoming messages or missed calls, and even that, they figured it would drain battery too as now they have a setting to turn off AOD after prolonged period of idle.
I wish LED notification make a come back, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
I cant even get the Oppo to edge light. I have an app Always On Edge (or AOE) from playstore. This is worth the effort.
Fully cutomisable. Try it out.

You didn't miss anything. I've been on Oppo for years, Edge Lighting always worked until Android 12. Now it straight up doesn't do anything and it's very frustrating.

Question Terrible Video Call quality and Lags (whatsapp ,etc etc)

Hi Guys.
Despite this is a great device for some aspects it really disappoints in areas where nowadays phones should be shining.
Are you having this terrible blur from front and back camera during videocalls?
WhatsApp is literally embarrassing how bad it looks....
Tried Google meet,quality bit better but the videocall lags like crazy .
I have put the phone back in its box and I'm really torn to sell it.
Do you think this will be fixed over a software update?
I can't really understand how is possible a flashgip has left manufacture with this crazy problems on.
What do you guys think?
I have a UK Moto edge 30 ultra

Done that too.
No much of a change.
Is your videocall quality clean?
The difference from my s21 is night and day.

Yes mine is perfect
@cilikekko
There are some rare cases that these kind of problems get solved by cleaning / clearing cache and/or even restore to factory settings and then try again.
Now that you mention S21, i recently sold my S21 Ultra and got the Edge 30 Ultra. When i first got my s21ultra i had video tearing couldn't record propely and many more problems with video, even when trying to shoot pictures i had screen tearing like droppped frames. I tried my above instructions after the support told me to, without results. What i did, i re-firmware'd the device using their Sync tool on a windows virtual machine cause i'm not using windows.
So, try the above, and if not, figure out a way to re-firmware your device from scratch, it is what i'm suggesting. You may find yourself like @AHMN48 that his device works perfectly!
I can agree.Google Meet affected as well. Weirdly all youtube video in play store produce the same while no issues in the youtube app or browser. It should be a particular video format or profile
