EMUI lock screen shifted down

[Bailee kingston]

My lock screen has shifted too low so now the camera shortcut is out of reach and the clock is cut off, i have googled around for it but no luck wondering if if anyone has had this problem and knows a solution thanks in advance. I have a Huawei honor 7x

Never seen anything like that on Huawei or Honor phones. Are you using a third-party skin or theme on EMUI?

I'm using nova launcher if that counts but I've used it for moths and this only popped up like 2 weeks ago

Just switched to the default launcher and restarted my phone did nothing

In nova launcher check your grid settings

For information, if your Honor is ever updated to Pie, EMUI 9, you will NOT be able to use any third-party launchers with it, like Nova. That was one of the changes Huawei made in EMUI 9, locking out third-party launchers. Oppo(Color OS) and Vivo(Funtouch OS) phones can't use third-party launchers either AFAIK.

Messed around with grid settings and restarted phone did nothing, this glitch only effects my lock screen.

And no my phone will never get that update

Can you reposition the time? Long-press the time on your lock screen and see if you can move it up. Maybe the other icons will follow.

I dont think i can do that. i tried to hold it but its not a widget.

I would think there would be a setting in EMUI somewhere to control the position of the clock on the lock screen.

 

[Bailee kingston]

its not just the clock there is a little tool bar at the bottom with quick acess to the torch and the camera corner, and i cant see it.

It might be all part of the same setting. In AOSP you can add and remove shortcuts from the lockscreen and select the clock position. Maybe if EMUI has something similar, you can get them to show up by removing them and adding them back.

I cant seem to find those settings.

Unfortunately I don't have an EMUI phone anymore (I flashed LineageOS to it) so i can't confirm where they are or if they even exist for you. Hopefully someone with access to ... oh wait, i think @LV426 just got an Honor phone. Maybe he can locate the settings for you.

Thanks. I tried posting what my face looks like once, but it gave people nightmares.

I have an Honor 9 Lite. Those setting aren't available.
My lock screen looks ok, but I'm using the default launcher and never installed Nova.

You could try messing around with the settings under 'Display' - Home screen style, etc. To see if that makes a difference.
Sorry but I can't suggest anything more specific.

Ok thanks for trying

Thank you everyone for your attempts but I managed to fix it, I was using the xda navigation gesture pill and when disabled it fixes the problem.

I didn't think Nova effected the lock screen.

Great. Thanks for letting us know what the problem turned out to be, in case anyone else has a similar problem. I feel smarter already.
