Disable Android System notifications? - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

I just updated to EMUI 10 last week which has been great, but today it updated again to 10.0.0.188 and now I keep getting a notification about my full screen gestures app (I use it along with the system full screen gestures) which I can't disable. It says "If you don't want" this feature I can disable it, but I DO want it. All I can do is put it on 'gentle notification' so it only sits in my notification bar but it's just taking up space for no reason. There's got to be a way to disable this notification.

Thank you for taking time out of your day just to say maybe, I'll definitely come to you in future when I need more maybes, what an amazing contribution.

Have you tried disabling that feature, then rebooting your phone and going into settings an enabling it again once it's booted back up?
Toggling on/off rebooting, etc. That's all I can think of.
Also, since you just updated, have you considered resetting the phone? I know it's a major pain, but it might help. Last resort of course. I had to reset after my most recent update before the one I got today. I'm hoping I don't have to reset this time.

[Q] Status Bar

At first I thought I was the only one suffering from this annoyance, but then I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgvTFu6UKJI
See, the problem is that whenever I send or receive a message, this icon pops up. At first I thought I was delusional, but then it repeatedly became clear that this was truly a bug. I managed to get a screenshot of it (which was really difficult considering that it only pops up for about half a second). I want to know if I anyone else has had this issue, and whether or not someone found a workaround from it popping up. Anyone at all?
Are you using Hangouts?
Nope! Stock everything, and unrooted. Using the HTC messaging app

Probably Carrier IQ for some reason tracking your location. My LG G2 does the same thing.

This bothered me as well, but I have since gotten rid of it. Granted that you're rooted, you can download an Xposed module called NotifyClean. It listens for "notifications" in the status bar, and you have the option to disable them. Download/install/activate the module, turn on the listening feature, and send a message. When you go back into NotifyClean, you'll see "Data Usage". Select that, then select "Data usage is running". It should highlight the selection in red, and ultimately get rid of the little annoying icon that shows up for a split second.
It seems that I'm not the only one having an issue. Well hopefully there's a better work around for this because I don't plan rooting my phone for a long time! Flashing roms and tweaks could be addicting haha! Hopefully someone finds a better fix to hide this annoying notification!

Yeah, take it from someone that flashed a ROM today and every mod/tweak I could find... it gets addicting. I spent 8 hours at my computer today going over various mods and personalizing my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to help with your issue that doesn't involve root. If you know what is causing the notification then you may be able to go into settings>apps>all and disable the offender?

I managed to get a screenshot, and I checked what app was causing it but it was a system app called "Data Usage". Anyone know how to turn off data usage notifications? Turning off data usage alert doesn't help
This is normal behavior. While it shouldn't be popping up, its normal as in that it is what is done when a SMS/MMS is sent while on WiFi.
You can locate the app through Application Manager and tap it to Disable Notifications. This doesnt require root or anything.
Taking shots in the dark here, but there is a data usage section under wireless & networks in settings. In that menu there is a toggle for 'alert me about data usage'. You can then drag a slider up and down to set the cap for when your phone warns you about data usage. Maybe yours is dragged to the very bottom so it alerts you about any data usage?
Unlikely because it would show up during everything, but worth asking. Maybe just disabling the notification toggle would work. Also, does your carrier ship with specific software to monitor data usage? If so then check all of those apps settings to see if anything has any effect.
It doesn't matter whether or not the wifi is on, it still annoyingly pops up. I meant that you really can't disable notifications as it is a system app

I've tried that too! It still pops up, and it annoys me. Thanks for the effort though!
No, I don't think so. My S3 never did this. My phone is unlocked from HK

I read its some type of traffic usage. Someone here posted a picture of it here. Also I have an option on the ROM I'm running to hide that notification. O don't think its carrier IQ but then again.

New update - 4BQA4

So I got this update today and of course the "learn more" link just pointed to the 4BQA2 update, which was just the first Nougat release, which I already had.
Anyone know anything about this one? It still says Android version 7.0, and the security patch level is 2/1/17. The kernel is 3.18.31 and is dated March 13th. The full build number is NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQA4

I just got it also, claims to improve wifi. My wife and I were just discussing that the GPS has been a bit laggy lately, maybe this will help that, too.
Yep just Wi-Fi fixes. Nothing to improve battery. Fail. still 7.0.0
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Checked SamMobile & Update.com & still no download link. Anyone know when or if they've released one yet?
Got it the other day as well
So far, no issues with the latest update. Still wish they'd fix the "switch keyboards" issue. Really annoying to go into the manage keyboards section and turn off all the other keyboards and leave the one on that you want to switch to. Otherwise, really happy with this. I got 20 hours on one charge and had about 27% left in battery. This was after playing games, reading email, reading news, surfing the web, texting and phone calls. I do have it on the mid-power saving mode, and I use the App Power Monitor that currently has about 89 apps flagged to be put to sleep when they're in the background. That really helps and is a built-in Greenify in Nougat. Really nice.
I wrote in another thread.
Can someone help? I just got the update to QA4,decided to go thru with the verizon wireless assistance programme via usb cable,now phone stuck on verizon screen bootloop. Any suggestions to save the day?
Update : safe mode doesnt boot up,either.
Can anyone confirm if this update fixes the Samsung calendar app from keeping the screen on when a reminder or calendar event pops up while the screen is off? This was introduced for me with the original nougat update.

Is the behavior you see?
Set screen timeout for 15 seconds. Set up a meeting in google calendar with starting in 7 minutes and reminder 5 minutes before meeting. Then wait for reminder on lock screen to pop up, don't touch anything and let screen timeout. See if screen will get activated again and go off after 2nd screen timeout.
If you get the same behavior, please report. I think there is something wrong with this as if you had a meeting reminder and the phone in you pocket, the phone battery will drain fast and phone gets hot of course.
Thanks
The behavior you described is similar except that the screen turns on for the initial reminder, then it times out and comes on again, times out and then turns on again and this is an endless cycle until I dismiss the reminder. I thought factory reset would fix it... But nope.

Notification sound with no apparent notification item

I love my new Pixel 2 XL but despite my best efforts to identify what app or system service was sending repeated (and annoying) default notification sounds but not showing any other message or indication, I finally hit on a solution that seems to work.
SET THE DEFAULT NOTIFICATION SOUND TO "NONE"
settings>sound>advanced>default notification sound
Then set the notification sounds to whatever you want for each app you actually care to hear from.

I have noticed this as well.
<notification sound> no new text or email...
For me, it's just easier to ignore the errant tone once in a while than to set notifications for individual apps (cause I'm totally lazy like that).
But THAT is the beauty of Android... to each their own and there are always multiple ways to skin that cat
Use a notification log
I had this same issue. Turned out to be an app I had disabled pop ups for.
I have a (potentially) better solution. Add a notification log widget to find the culprit:
1. Long press on home screen and go to widgets.
2. Drag the settings widget to the home screen.
3. In the list of options, choose Notifications
Now you can see a log of your notifications. Next time you get the sound but no pop up, go into the log and find the offender at the top of the list.
For me it was a game I didn't need so I deleted it, but you can remedy the problem as you see fit.

Glad you found it! Sorry I just saw this. I forget where I learned about this, but it wasn't easy to find. I'm glad I could pass it on to someone else, I'm sure it could be plenty useful.
I'm having the same issue but it's not even showing in the notification log. Makes me want to throw it out the window to be honest. There's time where it will go off every 30 seconds. Off to reset I guess and see if that works.
same thing here pixel 2 oreo 8.1 notification sound...no thing new in the "hot list" or email or message
very weird, and randomly at night too which is the suck
2019 and no change
Hello, same issue still persists in 2019. Every few weeks i must dump the default sound as it sets it self up again.
Still no idea why it does it, just a temp bandaid to curb the annoyance. I notice a slightly higher battery drain too, tells me something is running

Sounds like a re-install is in order...if you have an unlocked bootloader, when was the last time you've done an update via Full Factory image? I'd imagine all that might be sorted out by reinstall/updating; with the "-w" removed of course...
I hope you consider it, and I hope this helps...

A few Questions About MIUI.. - Bugs and Stuff

Okay so i got the phone yesterday and have been looking into the phone since. I have a few problems i would like solutions for. Most of these i guess are bugs or settings related problems.
1. The volume rocker stops working when i clear apps from the app manager... I've seen this problem being mentioned by a bunch of people from as far as 2015 and there apparently seems to be no solution for it apart from the "Accessibility Menu" trick..
2. MIUI doesn't let third party apps set the lockscreen wallpaper... WHY??
3. I tried all profiles and settings in the phone, but i really can't get the push notification pop up on the top of the screen to work most of the times... In every other phone you get a pop up when you get notifications but with this OS it vibrates but doesn't show the pop up.. AGAIN, WHY???
4. I got the MIUI 11 update but it's Android 9??? I thought MIUI 11 is Android 10? When are we supposed to get 10 for the phone?
This phone is amazing. Really. It's one of the most comprehensive set of hardware in a budget package right now. But the OS is absolute garbage, and that's putting it lightly. Any help to maybe get rid of these problems/bugs until a custom ROM is out will be much appreciated!
1. Dunno
2. Security reasons, probably. You don't want random apps hijacking your lockscreen
3. Uh dunno
4. Android 10 coming soon

So I found what's wrong with the notification thing, XIAOMI somehow thought it's an acceptable compromise to turn off ALL notifications for EVERY app to save battery... -_- You have to INDIVIDUALLY turn on notifications for every app you have installed to get notifications as you did with every other manufacturer.... And it's not even one checkbox to tick, you have to go in a separate menu for EACH app and tick 5 or 6 checkboxes manually... WOW... I will sell this phone within a month if there is no custom ROM.

MIUI 11 is really annoying, but its good enough for me. Has all the essentials feature I need.
More customizability on MIUI 11 would be nice.
MIUI 11 with Android 10 update is imminent in the month of December
And what's the deal with some earphones not being detected when plugged in??? My Auglamor R8 just doesn't work without manually switching the audio output to headphones... This is SO annoying!!

How to disable knuckles gestures altogether?

After latest update my phone thinks I'm trying to enter split screen or something and draws the blue sparkly line when I'm just trying to do something ordinary.
I haven't found a way to completely disable knuckles gestures even though it's off in the accessibility settings.
Halp!
Same issue here, even after stop it.
Same issue I that I have, I try to disable it from accessibility options, but it doesn't work
Same ****. Also thought that after the update this setting got reset but it's disabled...
Me too! It is really annoying and I've been trying to find a way to stop it from coming up! It keep messing up my gameplay! lol
Same issue here
Performed the steps from Huawei support and no success.
I've done clean cash and settings reset
On the end they confirmed that this is emui 10.1 issue.
Interesting that the guy from support team has the same phone as mine and had no problems after update.
The final suggestion was to roll back to 10.0 or wait for the update from Huawei.
Ok, I've found a temporary solution, but you need to use appAssistant.
For any apps that are giving you issues with the knuckle gesture, add them to appAssistant, and allow appAssistant to run. Then make sure you select the option in appAssistant to disable knuckle gesture.
Hope the fix comes out soon. But for now, this is good enough.
Any updates on this?
So after phone reset I ended up with rolling back to 10.0 and disable auto update.
I'll wait for the patch from Huawei
Thanks
Looks to be bugged in EMUI 10.1 and Huawei is aware of the issue... hopefully able to solve it soon. It's quite irritating.

They are simply not going to fix this. Back to Samsung guys.
