I'm running 4.4.4 on a Samsung Verizon S5 paired with a Moto 360 2nd Gen running 6.0.1.
My notifications seem to be very unreliable. The biggest pain is that I can't seem to find any pattern to what happening. Here's what might happen after any notification comes in:
Vibration on the watch, followed with NO notification showing on the watch display.
Vibration on the watch, followed by notification displayed as I would normally expect.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a displayed notification, but the display comes 4-6 seconds AFTER the vibration.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a display of the PREVIOUS notification, which then flips to the current notification after about 4-6 seconds.
As I said, it's really annoying because I just can't seem to pin down exactly what's causing the issue or any sort of pattern for when it works, when it sorta works, or when it fails totally. This happens with all notification types to varying degrees. GMail, Outlook, CloudMagic, Hangouts, SmartThings... to name the programs I regularly get notifications from.
The only non-standard thing I'm running on my watch would be WatchMaker Premium. I don't have any app launchers running on my watch.
I've tried uninstalling outlook (as someone in the Android Forums suggested). I've tried a factory reset on the watch. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling Android Wear on the phone. I've tried re-syncing apps... Just not having any luck figure out what's going on.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts?
100% the same for me on my sw3. Sad that 1.4/6.0 doesn't fix it.
I've sent feedback via the app. There's also a couple threads about it on the official forum.

I suppose it's comforting to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. What phone/os are you running?
I'm wondering if upgrading to a new version on my phone would help at all. An 'expert' in the official forum said it shouldn't make a difference, but at the same time it shouldn't be acting like it is, so I dunno.
Just really frustrating cause "glancable" notifications is one of the big pluses of a smartwatch and right now it just isn't working.
Another question: Which service are you using? I'm on Verizon. If you aren't that would eliminate service as an issue.
(Yes, I know that service shouldn't be an issue... but maybe whatever programs/radio/whatever Verizon pushes on the phone might somehow screw with things??)
FWIW, I flashed a new 5.0 rom last night. After lots of effort getting things back up and running (mostly), I'm getting proper notifications. Not sure why, but something in the process of flashing got things working again.

Same issues with my Verizon S5 and 360. How did you downgrade the moto 360 from 6.0 to 5.0? I saw the forum about it but it wasn't clear.
Hey there. So, after having to live with Lumia 930 for the past three years, I got drunk in a bar on Saturday and smashed the phone several times against the table pretty hard. I was telling myself for the past year (after the WP 10 update) that I will break that phone and I finally did. The display doesn't work, yet the phone boots up normally.
My last experience with Android was with LG OO (P500), and Android Froyo 2.2 in 2010/2011. I do remember some stuff, like rooting, custom recovery and flashing new ROMs. The problem is, I have no idea how far has it gotten by this point.
So I have several questions that I need to get answered. I will have the phone tommorow.
1. Should I root the phone? If so, how?
2. Should I flash a new ROM? If so, which?
3. Is there anything I should do to the phone to raise it's battery life, performance, cam quality etc. and is safe? How?
4. What are some absolutely neccessary tweaks to consider?
1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/official-lg-g6-bootloader-unlock-t3614719
Whether you should or should not, is up to you. What do you want to achieve by rooting/using another ROM. Depends on your needs.
2. See above. What don't you like about the current stock one? If you like stock but want more tweaks, try Fulmics. If you don't like stock try one of the Lineage ROMs. Bear in mind that phone calls via a bluetooth speaker (e.g. in car) don't work so well in current Lineage ROMs.
3. Turn stuff off, remove battery hogging apps, try another ROM or Kernel etc. Your mileage may vary though. For Camera, try one of the ported Google Cameras - You can find threads here in the G6 forums. There are loads to try and some of the latest ones are working great!
4. There are no such "absolutely neccessary tweaks". It's what you consider necessary.
I would have a look around and think about what you want. When you get your phone it's worth doing a basic setup to see what you think. If you want to unlock/flash another ROM, do it early as doing so will erase all data on the phone, so saves some pain later when having to set everything up again.

Please don't get me wrong, but if you don't see a reason for root and if you are really a noob.... forget it.
The phone works and you will have no problems.

Can I install the google cam apk without root or anything?
Clorky said:

Yeah, just install it like a normal apk.
Download it and open it. Make sure you uncheck Allow Install of Unknown Sources in Settings first. It might even prompt you to do it during the install.
1. The question is mostly moot, since LG doesn't even allow unlocking of bootloaders of most G6 models. Only the European H870 is supported.
2. See above. If you can root and enjoy tinkering (and blowing hours of time) and don't mind risking bricking of your phone, go ahead. Unlike in the past, rooting and custom ROMs don't allow much more than modern stock ROMs. As you can see from other's answers, the custom ROMs use a somewhat more updated version of Nougat. (Stock is a version of 7.0) Note than with some custom ROMs you might not be able to use secured apps like Netflix or banking apps.
3. Battery life is fine (although not consistent). You'll easily get a whole day unless you spend most of the day gaming. Do the usualy things to cut battery consumption if you run low. Performance is good. The camera has potential but the low light performance of the built in camera software is crappy. Its over-processed. Use a modified version of Google Camera available on these forums. (no root needed). I've had no problems with bluetooth connection to my car (Mazda).
4. No essential tweaks, but that is personal taste. The LG interface is pretty feature rich, includes theming and fonts, and offers launchers with either an Iphone-like home screen or the traditional Android screen with an app drawer and widgets. Of course you can use any launcher you want, like Google Now or Nova.
Overall I am very satisfied with the phone, especially using the modded Gcam. Some people here have complained about the lack of frequent updates, but this is a matter of expectations. The G6 is expected to get an Oreo update by June.
Enjoy!

So i wanted to make the Immersive mode work, it works flawlessly in almost all apps, except all Google apps.
https://imgur.com/r/lgg6/ 4QfHe
I followed this guide. The ratio changing (to 18:9) in settings is not avaiable for native apps, only installed ones. How can I fix this? It makes the google apps look really weird, especially the browser, with two black bars.
Hi everyone,
Don't know for sure if this is the right place to post the thread as it is a Miui 10 problem.
As I am totally happy with my rooted Poco F1 on LineageOS, I bought my girlfriend a Redmi Note 7 recently (which i keep unrooted). Great phone overall, but there is one big issue for us and that's the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode. First of all, when DND activated there are still Whatsapp notifications which is a well known bug in Miui, because I read it everywhere. Anyway, I just disabled the notifications in Whatsapp so that's no big deal anymore.
Bigger problem is the incoming phone calls in the DND mode. When someone is calling (not a favourite/starred contact), it's almost impossible to see if the phone is 'ringing'. The screen keeps black and only when you activate te screen you see a small green block in the left top corner with 00:00 written in it. This is pretty frustrating as we never can see if anyone is calling. This is the first time I face something like this, usually the screen lights up and you will see the incoming call information. On LineageOS it works perfect actually...
Somebody facing the same problem? If yes, is it possible to solve, as DND mode is complete useless for us now...
Thanks already!
Best wishes,
Mark
UP! Sorry for being pushy, but this is really important to use the phone in a proper way.
Thanks again!
Mark
I think this is just a Miui 10 'bug'. Does this forum have a Miui 10 section where I can post this question? I searched for it, but I can't find it that quick. Maybe I'm a bit blind as well
Thanks!
Mark
Sorry to bother, but is there no one who face this problem? Or is it just how the DND function works?
This is not how usual DND works. It's just an Miui thing. I too find it annoying since I depend on DND a lot. Best option is to unlock and flash a custom ROM with normal DND behaviour.

Thanks for your reply! Indeed, it's pretty useless this way...
I'm running a custom ROM on my Poco F1, but as this phone is for my girlfriend I don't want to flash if not needed. She just use her phone very simply, and I think rooting is not neccessary for her. She don't has any benefits from it, except a nice working DND modus
Keep us posted in case you find a solution without flashing a custom rom

One month ahead, maybe someone has a workaround?
Still nothing I'm afraid? DND mode is pretty useless now...
Hello OP!
I do not have solution for this problem, but I'm here to cheer you up, as I came to this thread facing the same problem on my Mi Mix 3. Unfortunately, it looks like we are the only two MIUI users who suffer from this feature. Hopefully there is third one in the world wide web who knows the workaround and share it with us.

Yeah, I think it's pretty strange that nobody cares about this, so maybe we are using it the wrong way. Anyway, I'm always in silent mode excluding for starred contacts. Maybe it will be solved in the future, we will see...
Take care!
I would check with the Xiaomi MIUI community forums to see if anyone's found a fix over there.
They're way more active with MIUI information vs XDA

What's your problem with rooting?
To use custom ROM you need open bootloader, have root... it's your choice, usually custom roms don't have root by default, who want can flash magisk package.
My wife using now phone with custom rom, without root. I changed the rom, because the phone is old, and don't get official update.
Other option can be to use alternative DND app, what you can configure as you wish.
Just posting to let you know that I have the same issue, and it is very annoying.
At least my Mi Band vibrates even on DND mode (which shouldn't happen, but lol right now it's good that it does because otherwise I'd have no way to tell that someone is calling). When sleeping, the watch detects it and also stop notifications. Which is also annoying, DND on the watch and on the phone should be in sync but that's just a perfect example of how very unperfect Xiaomi's ecosystem is.
I guess a "solution" could be to use "Silent" mode instead of DND and disable vibration? Didn't check if even possible, just a thought.
Using a Mi 9 with Miui 11.0.6...
Hi,
I've been using a native android OS for years (nexus phones and the last one Oneplus 3). Recently I bought Xiaomi Mi 9T, thinking it would be similar to Oneplus 7 Pro and Im having a bad experience using it.
I cant understand why they remove useful things that Google developed to make a better user experience.
For exemple:
Notificacions are awful in MIUI.
In lockscreen I cant expand them
When the display is unlock and I got a notificacion I cant expand the notification and read it directly, I have to wait or hide the notificacion (swiping up) and then swipe down to be able to expand it and read it.....
Audio Output
In my old phone I could have different devices connected via bluetooth, for exemple, an earpods, and if I wanted to show something to a friend I could change the output sound, and choose phone speakers, however I cant do it with MUIU, I have to disconnect the device to use the speakers..... WTF
I also dont like to have all apps in the screen, however I solved that with Nova Launcher.
Anyone know how to solve the previous problems? I would love to have Oxygen OS in this phone. It would be perfect. Thanks
Unlock your bootloader and flash any of the custom ROMs available right now! (Paranoid Android beta or Mokee rom(linneage base) there is also a OxygenOS GSI (treble) I wouldn't recommend that but you can give it a shot
Yeah, TWO problems are ruining android. Lol
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S7 and I agree with OP. One week using the Mi 9T and the struggle is real. Notifications are really messed up in MIUI. The auto brightness doesn't work right and sometimes when I manually change brightness the slider is not updated accordingly as I increase it. Also, the sound controls are just terrible. It's not, or at least it doesn't feel like, a polished UI/UX.
Haters gonna hate. Now imagine that if you would do any tampering with the OS you would lose the warrantee... BUT Xiaomi is so generous that they even provide a bootloader unlock function for us, unlike Samsung and Apple. They would take away your freedom of development if you would wander off their closed systems, so enjoy flashing and stuff. And I would highly suggest waiting for MIUI 11 it arrives in the coming days. Miui has been the longest player in the android skin game and the first and foremost product of xiaomi.

you mean like on Samsung you don't have use stupid accounts and give them your info just to be able to unlock the bootloader? the fact MIUI was one of the first skinned ROMs back in froyo means nothing, it's like saying Chrysler used to make great cars 40 years ago and therefore they MUST be considered great today, no matter the fact they are pure ****e.
i sell my mi9t and i order OP7Pro, and i hope i will not regret.
first if you unlock bootloader, and to root and. magisk, you have to partitions, so anytime you want something with twrp you have to do everything from begin, and there is also one problem with OP7Pro were phone shut down by himself, power button doesnt help, just if you boot in fastboot mode power on and vol+ in same time helps.
so dont know if OP is really such good user experience, same as stock android, never have seen such poor os as stock android.
Everything on my Mi 9T works well except notifications. Unlike other people I get a lot of it. On every notification the screen turns on even in silent mode. And I can't seem to turn off group notifications for whatsapp, I turn them off and after 2 minutes they turn back on again. Other than this the phone is great.
So the only problem I have with notifications is that they are not arriving while the phone is in deep sleep mode, and that's because miui kills internet connection - I get that they are trying to save battery that way but it just doesn't make sense to me to not be able to receive notifications while your phone is sitting idle. From what I've seen miui 9 and below had an option in settings>battery&performance to disable sleep mode - is there any way to do that on miui 10?

In developer options, there is an option all the way down, "MIUI optimization" something like that that is on by default. You can turn that off.
You can also go to app settings and turn off battery optimization for the apps you care about like instant messaging, mail etc.

Hello!
I've been out of the rooting / custom rom game for awhile (last used with my galaxy s5) and I had a couple of questions for the community. I've been looking at rooting my phone and installing a custom rom basically only for these two things that keep bothering me.
1. Phone turns on screen when placed on charger. I won't explain why this annoys me and I've read all the posts where people are like "just set your time out to 30 seconds". I have a long time out because I am a musician and I use the phone at times for reading music. My nightly routin consists of placing my phone on my wireless charger and then pressing the power button to turn the screen off. I'd just like the phone to start charging without turning the screen back on. Minor inconvience I know, but we live in 2019 and I should be able to customize my phone the way I want, right?
2. When I'm listening to music over bluetooth, I try to increase the volume and get the "listening at high volumes..." notification. I would like to disable this permantely. I know that it goes away after hitting okay once, but it comes back after restarting. This is esspecially troubling while in the car and I have to look down at the phone and press the button making it more of a risk than it "helping me with loud volumes".
I remember using roms years ago that addressed these two specific problems and I loved them for that. So my question is, are there any fancy rooted mods I can do to my phone to disable these things, or is there a ROM that specifically addresses these issues I have? Are there files I can delete, or code I can modify? Ideally I can just disable these two things and stay stock, but I'm down for anything at this point.

You need a modified Frame Jar so you can be able to have the screen stay off when you put in the charger if you was willing to install xposed I can lead you to a Module that resolves your first issue... For your second issue the same module resolves that issue also

I'd be way into that! Please lead the way! So if I'm understanding correctly, I will need to root, flash a recovery such as TWRP, install Xposed frameworks as shown here for Oreo (my current OS), install the APK, and install the modules you point me to? Will I need to flash the stock OS again after installing the recovery? Please let me know if the link I added is out of date and if there's a newer thread. Also I am curious as to what the preferred/most up to date rooting method is for an unlocked Galaxy S8 if someone wouldn't mind sharing a link? It seems as there are a few more steps than what I was used to years ago, but I'm definitely down to dig in. Thank you for your help!

I'm now realizing I may be in some trouble as I've been doing some more digging. Am I correct that because I have an SM-G950U1 Snapdragon US "Unlocked" phone, that I have a locked bootloader and therefore cannot root?
The only thing that looks hopeful I've been seeing is with this guide, but the rom is for Nougat: here
I'd prefer to stay "stock" Oreo if possible.
Can I even install TWRP or Xposed without root on Oreo?
Thanks for your help.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks!
