[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
They say different things to different people. Plus, it was working on .106, so it's still not really clear whether it is intentional or not.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
For me, and for what they said to me, it's clearly intentional. They saying different things to us seams to mean confusion but also intentional misinformation.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
Even Apple iOS has this feature.

I am not sure why Huawei would be the only Android manufacturer who is not able to implement it properly.

This is laughable.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
The best thing is that it isn't implementable, it's embedded in stock Android
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
Yup. Even the notifications on the lockscreen have the down-pointing arrow on the top, indicating that the notification can be expanded!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] dsmero:
Has this been resolved? Brand new out of box P20 Pro. The lockscreen notifications show like they could be expanded but do nothing. Tried multiple themes and turn off/on the smart lockscreen notifications under face unlock. Super annoying.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
No, it hasn't, sadly. I was also very disappointed when I have discovered this minutes after I've unboxed my P20. It's bloody ridiculous and underwhelming.

They've been working on Android P for a while now so I really hope they're gonna release it within a few weeks. But I'm also worried about what other stupid bugs they might introduce with P.

I'm really not gonna buy another Huawei ever ever ever, especially after that bootloader ****ery.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] forestred:
unfortunately not, im having to use AVA lockscreen to utilise the feature
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] 3-style:
Yep Pie should be just weeks away. They'll show EMUI 9 during IFA and roll Pie right after:

"La société a également confirmé que les premières mises à jour de la nouvelle version seront déployées immédiatement après l'annonce"

let's cross the fingers
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
Didn't you guys have version .106 out of the box? As far as I can remember, and members have confirmed in this thread, the notifications expand on .106. Since nothing major has been released since, apart from security updates, you can just stick with that until Android P is released. Hopefully Pie will work correctly.

Great device - appalling software decisions.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
I'm not sure what you're suggesting to do, sorry!

I don't remember what version I had out of the box honestly, but how would I roll back to it anyway?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
I was referring mainly to the other guys, who purchased recently. :)

Just so you know if you need it, there is an option to rollback. I am not sure when it works though, because I haven't seen a version to rollback to whenever I have checked. I think there was one right after an update was installed.

You open the HiCare app and select ROLLBACK.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Ah yes, I've tried that a few days ago, it showed " No rollback available".

Just tried again, still the same :/

Thanks though!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] maxime4611:
Hello guys,

I've just talked with somebody on telegram, who installed the android P update on his P20 Pro, and he can now expand notifications.

Great news !
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] henihazbay:
How did he install Android P?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
Praise the Lord! Let's just hope that really comes out on official P release...
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] maxime4611:
I think the P beta is only "released" on Pro and lite ... But you can't download it.

Through funkyhuawei it seems.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
I was just coming here to ask if anyone had tried the P20 Android Pie beta.

I tried installing it but I can't proceed with the installation. Their app doesn't let me accept the terms and gives me "login failed".

If anyone wants to test it: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/fut/

Let us know if you were able to install it and if the freaking notifications freaking worked on the freaking lockscreen!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] zgomot:
Same here. Login failed over and over again.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
I managed to login successfully but returns that there are no projects available for me. Probably there are already enough beta testers for their likes.

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
P20 here and while I was already logged in, I've got no projects either.

But great news anyways!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] maxime4611:
You need to login in through huawei apps before login in the beta app.

As said before, me neither, i don't have any project available...
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
This was not it. I was logged into the other apps.

I found what the issue is.

If you are trying to install the Beta participation app and are getting LOGIN FAILED immediately after trying to accept the permissions screen, just reboot your device and try again. It will work after that.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] g_oral:
Propably for UK c782 there will be no beta tests

Yeah nothing available for UK, just downloaded and checked.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] joachamob:
The problem of notifications on lockscreen still on 8.1.0.152 (Gpu Turbo) upgrade ☹️?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Yup, as you can see from the previous replies. But EMUI 9 (pie) is out for beta testers and they've reported that this has been fixed. So we just sit and wait for it to be released, which shouldn't take too long hopefully.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] hpsauce37:
Maybe for you guys on c432 but us in the UK are still stuck on April security patch and 120 so I won't hold my breath!

Huawei are really letting us down here with the business of waiting for network approvals even when you have a unbranded so called SIM free phone.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
What seriously?

I've been living in the UK and the best part of it was to always be the first in Europe to receive new software, updates, new hardware... Wasn't expecting that!

I now live in the Netherlands and it's silly that a country this small is receiving updates before the UK does :/

My P20 comes with a contract with Tele2, not sure it matters though as the phone is SIM-free and doesn't show any Tele2 branding anywhere.

Well hold tight it will arrive anyway, just a matter of weeks :)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] maverick1103:
I'm in the UK and have .132 and 1st June security patch, not that it's a good thing as I'm 3 months out of date! :(
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
You can now join the EMUI 9 beta project in the BETA app. It's available.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Sadly that is not the case for me :(

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] paul678:
On beta 9.0.0.47 this is not fixed :( Maybe next beta
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Well f*ck me sideways this is some disappointing news. I swear I'm gonna sell this thing if they don't fix it in the final release.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
I have not yet received the beta approval. I just signed up yesterday and am waiting still.

But IF and WHEN I get approved, you can bet your as*es that this will be the first thing I report as a bug!

On numerous occasions now, the lack of this option has been annoying. Just the other day I had to unlock my phone while I was in a hurry in order to reply with "OK", instead of simply replying from the Lockscreen notification.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] kenghoong:
any updates from the beta testers?? is this fixed??
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] paul678:
9.0.0.106 still not fixed. .108 i coming soon so maybe there :)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] paul678:
Received .108 and still not working :(
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
well at this point I pretty much believe it's going to be like this forever, because if a completely new Android version didn't bring a fix, I'm quite sure they've re-introduced it on purpose. The level of frustration and disappointment I have inside me is unmeasurable.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] paul678:
If anyone knows someone with a newer Honor/Huawei phone in order to check this functionality it would be great. O maybe someone with a bit of spare time to check the forums for other non P20 devices
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] kenghoong:
this is really bad. i think it's a crucial feature to have :(
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] cidarfrancisco:
Ava Lockscreen solved this Huawei mistake

Use Ava Lockscreen. It solved this issue of Huawei. My next smartphone will be Pixel, LG G7 One or Any with Android One.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
Having two lockscreens is a no-go for me.

I tried it back in August but used it for a week only. Too annoying.

I now see that it has not been updated since then, so ... yeah.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
Third party lockscreen should be like launchers, seamless

Enviado do meu CLT-L29 através do Tapatalk
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Yeah true, but given how crucial the lockscreen is security-wise, I can understand why Google won't let the devs to completely replace it
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] paul678:
Straight from TheVerdge's Mate 20 Pro review:

"I can’t do anything with lock screen notifications on the Mate 20 Pro other than swipe them away. I didn’t realize how many useless emails I deleted directly from the lock screen of my Pixel until Huawei denied me that ability."

So seems to be sad news for expanding notifications...stupid of Huawei!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
That's disappointing, but also encouraging that somebody bigger than us has finally pointed it out!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] gobonja:
I don't know if this works on emui 8.1 but on emui 9.0 beta, notification can be expanded by double clicking on notification title.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Damn you're right, I'm on 8.1 and tapping on the tiny arrow next to the title does expand it. I was also able to use the inline Reply feature with WhatsApp. It seems to be much better than before, still a bit clunky though as I'd love to be able to swipe down instead of having to tap that tiny arrow. Also once you unlock the screen, they'll be gone forever from the lock screen.

I'd like to hear somebody else's opinion too!

Thanks for reporting [MENTION=5378452]gobonja[/MENTION]
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] sturm1909:
my phone does not expand the notification when clicking on the arrow. it tells me to touch again to open the notification whi h brings me into the app directly.

i have smart unlock with my smartwatch enabled, not sure if that's causing this situation.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
I'm on 8.1.0.157 (C432) and no luck on that.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] paul678:
Man you deserve a medal and a statue haha. Yeah clicking the really f***ing small arrow icon will expand the notification :)

You need to click on that small icon and sometimes one can miss and click the notification and tha "touch again" message shows.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] sturm1909:
I literally tried a hundred times and it won't work :D

c432 on my phone (P20 Pro). How about you all?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
I'm on 8.1.0.165 (C432) - received this update a few days ago. It seems to be working fine here except for some limitations I've mentioned before
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jackching:
There are a few annoyances about this phone including this one. The other is no boot loader unlock. Im having more fun with my cheap moto g3. The P20 may get returned.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Ephixi4:
October SU ver .166 (C432) fixed lockscreen notifications bug. Just double tap the arrow.

Hey guys so good news, we got our notifications interactions back! Sadly we need to double tap on the arrow which is kinda annoying but better than nothing.

**** Huawei for not even mentioning this in the patch notes.

I have an EU C432, got the update like yesterday. Expanding, replying and everything works. (Kinda, when I hit reply it unlocked and took me to the notifications panel reply but k)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
Anyone already on official EMUI 9 out there? Can you update us on fixing this problem?

Not working on 8.1.0.155 (CLT-L29)

I'm on P20 Pro (CLT-L29) 8.1.0.155 (C636) and can confirm that my device is telling me I have no system updates to download. Notification issue confirmed Not Working.

I posted on the Huawei UK Community Support forum describing my issue with screenshots. They haven't replied. I can't post the URL because I just joined the site but it can be found under the title of 'No Notification read/reply on lockscreen'

So how does this work? Do android push out updates and Huawei have the ultimate say over whether or not they want to push it to their devices after testing etc? I don't understand how some people here are on 8.1.0.165 whilst some of us are stuck on 8.1.0.155 without any further updates available.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] SysC0mp:
That is completly normal behaviour nowadays.

Companies roll-out their update in "waves" to minimize risk if anything does not work as expected. (for example)

I am also waiting for the newest update to fix the notification issues.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] NJBROST:
I also cannot click the arrow to expand notifications. Tried with Textra/gmail/ Messages no luck. :confused:

Those of you who are able to expand with the little arrow, what app is sending you the notifications?

CLT-l04 (C792)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
Or what compilation are you using?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
I can not believe this. This must have been fixed with a recent update. I tried clicking that damned arrow a dozen times.

The fact that it says "Tap to open" both when you click the arrow AND when you click the notification itself - does not help. You have no idea whether you were able to click that tiny arrow or not, until you click the second time.

So I guess we need to start lobbying for them to implement it in a better way, rather than include the function.

I read an announcement that the Android 9 Pie update is rolling out worldwide, so we just need to be patient.

They also mention this in few of their replies on their Twitter account.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Hi Godzi, yeah I agree I was in the same boat as you, I have no idea when this has been implemented. Better than nothing but it's been implemented so poorly that I rarely use it. Also it's really easy to mis-tap and open the email/message instead of just expanding the notification's content.

I can't wait to try Pie, although I doubt it will be any better notifications-wise :(
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Myles_version21:
What EMU version is it that allows the arrow tap to work for you? I still can't do It.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] pLx_:
Right now I'm on 8.1.0.168(C432)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] problemchild137:
Tested working on Huawei View10

Tested working on Huawei View10, You can enable full message content on lock screen by going to phone settings > security & Privacy > Face Unlock > and disable "smart lock screen notification". These seem to be a bad description on Huawei part because you would think this turns off notifications on lock screen but it only limits the content on lock screen for security purposes. The only time i need to expand my messages on lock screen is when phone is sitting on desk and i don't want to lift the phone to unlock it in order to read my notification. Lock screen notification can be set for apps separately. Hope this helps. I am currently on build 8.1.0.133.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Godzi:
This is not what we are discussing here. We are discussing the ability to expand the notification on the lockscreen. I have the "Smart lock notification" disabled, so my content is visible on the screen. The issue was that we could not expand them in order to do something.

Now there is an option if you click the little arrow twice. Hope they improve on that and make it like the other manufacturers.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] maRRRco89:
I found a fix. You don't have to push down the notificaton but double click on the little arrow and you'll se every message and you can reply directly.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jalms:
On 9.0, finally you're able to expand them and take quick actions by double tapping the tiny arrow

Hi All, I recently got my new LG V30+ H930DS Indian Variant. I searched the forum but could not found exact info how we can root and install custom recovery on the same?

Can someone please help me out here?

Sorry I am coming back to LG after 3 yrs of gap.. The LG device I used last time was LG Optimus G Pro..

Thanks a ton!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'm sorry,you can't. If that is important to you, you bought the wrong V30/V30+ without researching first. Only H930, H930G (some of them), and open market LG US998 have unlocked bootloader (via the LG Bootloader Unlock website) with full fastboot flash commands. We've been telling people this since September 2017. The open market US998 V30+ should also have bootloader unlock and doesn't -- but that's another story.

The T-Mobile guys are still working on getting root for the H932 -- which has unlocked bootloader, but not full flash commands available. But all other variants like the H930DS have locked down bootloader.

I own both the open market US998 V30 and the V30+. One has root, the other doesn't. And yet the unrooted one right now is my daily driver, so it's a great phone even without root. Just change the launcher to Nova, add custom icon packs, use an add blocker like Blokada.

If you have updated to Oreo already, you can even use substratum themes. (I can't, yet, as I don't have Oreo yet.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mandarjoshiin:
Dude.. In India, we get only one variant.. :( What could I do??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
"Dude.. In India, we get only one variant.. What could I do??"

Well, you could have researched H930DS bootloader unlock and root here on XDA, so you would know beforehand instead of asking later. ;)

No, you aren't limited to buying in India. My last phones before this (2014-2017) I bought from other countries, not the country where I live. I've seen people who bought other V30 who live in India.

My rooted V30 phone is not my daily driver, so the unrooted V30+ is still very good.

Anyway, I've answered your question.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
I use the stock leather case and I am in the NY subway a lot. Wanted to know if anyone is using a ring kickstand for their phones for the purpose of holding the phone and resting it on the table?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] tmmr2:
I'm using this one https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/152928845836
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] saq333:
hey there, did you end up getting that ring kickstand thing? I saw some on ebay, but wasn't sure if it looked good or not.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
Yes I got the Humix Ring from amazon, and ended up not using it. In all fairness it would've worked great as a kickstand if I had installed it directly on the phone. But I always keep my phone in the stock leather case and the adhesive on the ring couldn't quite hold on to it for too long. Also, it's not ideal if you want to use that ring to hold your phone while travelling (Unless you are holding the phone in portrait orientation). I watch a lot of videos on the subway and the distance between the side of the phone to the center (where you would usually install the ring), is too much. You cannot really use the ring for that purpose in landscape mode. I am still on the lookout for an ideal kickstand for my phone that I could install with my case on.

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] airlessproject:
Hi guys,

I'd like to know whether you need to hard press the home/fingerprint button to go to home screen (while unlocked) or you can do it by a light tap.. coming from Xiaomi Mi5 and so used to this feature it would be a deal breaker for me if I had to hard press the button every time

Thanks
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] John Hoyne:
Light touch is fine. It's a touch button and not mechanical

Hope that helps
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] airlessproject:
Thanks for the answer!

Btw by 'it's a touch button' it means that even when unlocking the phone it's light touched and not pressed?

That's nice!
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] John Hoyne:
Yes that's right. Just touch to unlock without PIN etc, once finger print has been set up. The first time after phone has been restarted it asks for PIN, but normally a simple touch is all you require :)
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] airlessproject:
Yep I know the procedure and all, but on my Mi 5 you need to press the button to unlock and read the fingerprint. There is a sysfs trick to make it read with a light touch but the button is mechanical by default.

Thanks a lot mate, I'm not even bothered by the fact that the Nokia 8 is not (yet) unlockable so I'm probably getting it. I found a deal of around 300 EUR for a new device so it's a great price for a SD 835 phone.
