Yep, go in the main page (where you can see the different icons and the notifications), then press the Menu button

Devices Supported
Is it a universal update or is it for some devices?

Does anyone have the apk please?

All i can say about current 1.5 update is CRAP..total crap.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S running Froyo 2.2. Here is the bug list.
1. Login to FB from PC and open chat. Now click on "Go Offline". Now open FB app on phone and open CHAT section. Your friend list will not load even after waiting for 30 min on a 1 mbps wifi connection.
2. CHAT UI is simply crap. Now we have 3 groupings , "Active Conversations" , "Available" and "Idle". We don't need grouping at all simply show a single list with GREEN color on right for Active(not idle) and Orange for Inactive like we have in Gtalk for Android.
Also , if we are chatting with any friend , Just make same UI change in the Single Main list to indicate it ass Active chat.
In-short, just mimic what Gtalk for Andorid app does. Keep It Simple Guys.
3. CHAT is not working and need proper testing. try this.
Login to FB from PC , start Chat. Now hit "Go Offline". next, open FB app in mobile and enter chat section, Your Chat friend list will never ever load friends. it will simply show "Loading......"
4. Sound notification for Chat is not working. I am 200% sure that i have set a tone to notify me of incoming chat.
5. When i enter FB app on Phone , give is option to auto-login to chat or not. and notify us about same.
6. if we enter chat and return to home screen, i get logged out. WTF is this ? I am supposed to be logged in chat.
7. PUSH notifications : All i can say is "WTF" !!!!!
Reason: PUSH on iPhone and BB is REAL INSTANT. And if its TRUE Push , why do we see "Refresh Interval" option in Settings section ? If its PURE PUSH , we don't need this at all. If its for those running OS < 2.2 then fine.. However , if i choose ""Refresh Interval" at xx hours and set "Notifications to Active" and ticked all below options , I am still not receiving any PUSH notifications when i am on home screen. However when i enter the app , i get it. Is this you call PUSH ?
Dear Facebook, Go and test your app before you release it to the masses.

I turned off refresh interval to none, and turned off all notifications ticks, but left "notification" ticked, and it seems to push almost instantly.
as far as checking on battery drain. that is to be determined since i tinker with roms, apps and other stuff a lot!
but so far the push part works on 2.2..
but the app is still millions of years behind the iFail. come on FB dont you know that more people are useing Android then then IOS.

a friend using HTC DESIRE and all is working at his end..which phone you use ?
I guess its problem with all Samsung users

I am useing a Samsung Captivate with a 2.2 rom installed
[ROM]Perception Build 8 (CogKernel2, Voodoo5, 1280Mhz OC/UV, tons of tweaks)
but , i do not think it worked too well last night, so it might have been a bug when it came out.

No push here (T-Mobile G2, stock with BaconBits kernel). Googling was no help, seems like a crapshoot if you get push correctly or not.

Actually push works fine on the Galaxy S, last night push wasn't working properly for me but i'm guessing that was Facebook's fault, as it wasn't working properly on my PC either. Works instantly now, but i took the advice someone said earlier about unticking etc and i'll see how that works out.

Push notifications not working on Evo running CM6.1. So frustrating!

Take a breather, man. There are some kinks but it's a step in the right direction. Just a few months ago the FB app was almost completely useless.
I don't have any problems on my DZ thankfully. Haven't used the chat extensively but everything works fine including push.

Update :
1. I get PUSH notification instantly when i am IN App else not.
2. If I am on homescreen ,and if a frnd of mine ping me for chat on FB, chat msg is received but no Sound at all

I got the same thing for the IN APP push, and not just anywhere in the app, but I had to be on the app's homescreen where the notifications bar sits. Even weirder was that the notification tone was <i>max</i> volume when it happened, like Facebook overrode the regular notification volume that everything else uses. I'm not really sure that it even qualifies as push, either, since the only way I could see if I had notifications before was to check that same screen. This was the only time I just happened to be on the screen when a notification came through.

Push for offical app is only for chat... I use f+ and it has push notifications through gmail...

push notifications not working

I haven't ever recieved a push notification! Neither in whatsapp nor in any other application, except in facebook, though they were late and i deactivated them (in facebook)... settings are ok.. what should I do? I own a lumia 710 with the software up-to-date
Do you normally enable "battery saver" mode on your phone? Doing that blocks push notifications.
Do you run the apps that you're expecting push notifications for? If an app doesn't run for a long time, it *may* lose the ability to receive notifications.
Do you have a ton of notification-enabled apps? There's a limit on the number of notification channels, first-come-first-served, although it should be high enough.
Do you have the apps pinned to your Start screen? Many notifications merely update the app's tile, rather than popping a toast message; you won't see that if they aren't pinned.
What apps have you tried? For example, I use IM+, a chat program, and it receives notifications just fine and within seconds of when the IM is sent.
1) no
2) so.. yes i run them, and sometimes in the first ten minutes after i run them i recieve notifications (for example whats app), but i can't open whats app every ten minutes otherwise notifications would be useless :/
3) nono, two or three
4) yes
5) whatsapp, london 2012 (it should advise me when my country gets a medal or when my country races for a medal), and viber for now
The only other steps that come to mind are to:
First, try disabling push notifications in the app, then reboot the phone, then re-enable push notifications.
Second, remove the apps, reboot the phone, and then re-install them (and of course re-enable push).
Third, hard-reset your phone (I realize this is an extreme step, but if you get this far I don't know of anything else).
I don't use any of those apps myself, but I do use others and have not experienced the kinds of problems that you are describing.
no solution yet?
hello im having the same issue yesterday my whats app & viber were working properly and i was receiving Push notifications like always, but then i noticed that i was not receiving messages and i opened the whatsapp and viber, surprise no push notifications.
Is this OS error? or Whats app error? Viber?

You're welcome; I'm glad that worked for you! You may also need to periodically open the app to keep the notification channel open.
I'm here again, i noticed that since the problem has been solved in "Settings > applications > background tasks > advanced" "WhatsApp" has apperead, before it wasn't there. So if anyone had the same problem i'd suggest to check if Whatsapp is actually running in the background, if not it is probably installed wrong, so reinstall it
Thanks again and sorry for my bad english

Is there a push email service that works with this phone?

i use gmail only. otherwise adore this phone but there are no email apps that work with getting instant notifications for email.
How is this possible? are there any apps that work? Theres no way Huawei would put this phone out with this issue...
I receive both gmail and exchange push notifications all the time, using the native gmail app and the email app for exchange.

the gmail app updates randomly. every time i unlock the screen, the gmail icon shows up and all of a sudden I have unread emails in the inbox.
if i use the native mail app, will this issue be corrected?
Do you have them whitelisted in the power usage firewall?
This is a real issue, I set every single setting possible to try and rectify this problem but I can't. It doesn't appear to affect everyone but I can confirm if affects me.
Never had any issues with Hangout or Whatsapp though like other have had.
I'm not sure if it's hardware revision, software version or what makes it not work for some, very frustrating. I've tried most roms, root, no root, using gmail, using built in mail, using other mail programs but the same results.

Root and update rom after my guide?
I have already root and update rom but I am experiencing the same issue as the OP. I have tried EVERYTHING.
Move to app-sys, change doze settings, protect apps, clear dalvik cache and everything I can think of.
Telegram works, whatsapp works but NO email works.
I have tried typeapp/bluemail/gmail/normal mail. None works.
As soon as I lid up the screen all notifications come. When my phone is on the charger all notification comes.
So clearly this has something to do with power management. I am thinking of selling my phone because of this. In my work I MUST HAVE PUSH WORKING. Otherwise the phone is of no use.
Such a great device otherwise, one of the best if not the best I've ever had. Switched from galaxy s6 to this. But WHY HUAWEI ARENT YOU SOLVING THIS ISSUES.
A google search shows the issue has been there since mate 7 and even longer time ago.
I'm not stating this will work for everyone but I'm currently no longer experiencing the gmail issue that I've had since day one and on every rom I've tried.
If you are bootloader unlocked and have some time then give this a go and feedback on your results please.
I've installed rayglobe rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-rayglobe-rom-t3315682
I then installed Doze from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-solving-notification-issues-root-t3294178
As detailed in the Doze instructions I applied tuhinxp04's profile and just change idle timeout and max idle timeout to 60 sec and 600 sec respectively.
gmail and Blackberry hub are working as expected for this first time since getting the phone 3 weeks ago. You may not have the same success but please give it a go
UPDATE: 8 minutes is the longest I've so far had to wait for an email to arrive. Not push but something I can live with. Whatsapp and Hangouts seems fine btw.
The solution of notification problems for all apps of huawei phones (emui) is this brilliance application
Memory Locker on Google play
Lock all of your apps that are having problem with this software and also Lock your app in recent app and see if it is fixed.
Cheers!
Gnasher666 the issue is that push is critical for me. I turn on my screen every 10mins anyway but email push is very critical. Every second 15 second counts and I need to be alerted directly.
I thought i solved it. It worked perfectly for 8 hours and then suddenly died after I recharged my battery. Was even going to write a guide on how I solved it haha but then it died again so no solution here.
I really dont know why its so difficult to make it work because some apps do work like telegram.
So what is so special about that app that works but not others....
I get your frustration, I don't need that timely a notification for emails - 10 - 15 minutes works. Prior to all the playing around I've done I could go from one unlock to the next without receiving a mail notification, so for me this is a great step forward. Obviously, this is a hack, we shouldn't have to do it in the first place and Huawei needs to resolve it. If they fix this issue I'd be able to say without any doubt this is the best phone I've had (and I've had a lot, including top end Androids, iPhone 6S plus etc).

read this (doze - android 6.0):
http://www.androidcentral.com/inside-marshmallow-what-doze-how-do-i-use-it-and-what-does-it-do
You'll still get notified when "high-priority" apps need your attention. That means things like phone calls or SMS messages can get through (and thus waking up your dozing phone) as well as any app that declares itself as high-priority. Other things, like email notifications or Clash of Clans telling you your gold mine has leveled up aren't going to come in and wake your phone up.
This doesn't mean you never get any notifications while your phone is idle. Google uses what they call an "Idle maintenance window" where they pick up any notifications that may be available in one big batch. Then your phone can quickly go back to sleep.
When you wake your phone by side button, notiffication will arive immediatly (sorry 4 bad english)
not confirming anything - but memory locker may work. i set -17 to outlook after disabling gmail and I am getting instant emails. more testing until confirmation.
after powering off and on again, had to do all the settings again. so strange, like it sometimes works.

How to stop incoming calls from preventing you to use the phone?

Hi...
I finally got the phone 3 days ago, but noticed that when i get incoming calls i can't use the phone untill the call ends or untill i answer it, what stopping me from playing / writing messages of even use Facebook app untill: 1. I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.
I had other phones that i could just press the "Home" button and continue with my things.
Is there any solution for that?

But the problem is that i think i have to root the phone, because even after installing the latest version and allowing permissions to the Dialer app i still get the calls from the default HTC original dialer.. Im using the last version (17)

you need to go into app settings and make google dialer the default phone app
Iv'e put the dialer as default everywhere also in the app category, it still only shows the calling icon on top of the screen, also won't show any contacts names when incoming calls..
Did you got this to work in your phone perfectly?
Aren't there any other apps that can be used instead?

Yes it works perfectly.
Set as default, enable all permissions for it and it will work fine. Plenty of us are using it without any issue. What do you mean by "only shows calling icon on top of the screen". That sounds like the google dialer which is what it is supposed to do and not take up the entire screen.
I don't know, it just wont work properly on my device, i did all what you said above and restarted the device and still.. i only get the icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen when call enters.
I gave up and downloaded "Drupe" - wonderfull app really does the job well and also looks great (cost me about 4$ - worth it), better than the default HTC's app.
Thanks for the help!
You have to go into setting>application>Phone>application>Phone application, select the app you installed, then you may see the different calling screen when you call someone / receive a call. (not a football fan so installed normal v17)

Notifications fixed?

Hi,
I had an Honor Note 8 and notifications any came through if apps were open in app memory, or if they had a widget.
Adding them to a whitelist/ignoring battery optimisations did not work and notifications were blocked and only came through when you opened up the apps.
Is this fixed in the Honor Note 10?
Could any users please test by closing all open apps from app memory and seeing if notifications come through for the following apps:
eBay
Etsy
Amazon seller app
Google Hangouts
WhatsApp
Facebook messenger
This is the only thing holding me back from buying this phone. It doesn't look like a Global version will ever be released and I need to know if the Chinese ROM still kills notifications.
Thank you
Hi buddy
I have noticed when my screen is off for a bit then when I open WhatsApp loads of notifications come through.

Even with those option it does not work on note 8. We had to remove an APK called powergenie from the system to stop it from killing app even if those app are whitelisted.
Huawei power management is too aggressive.

One year I used Note 8 with Nougat and no problem with Power Management! Upon upgrading to Oreo system it automatically shuts down applications in the background, and it also does Note 10 ... ?
Phonemanager was the problem here on the Note 8. When i disabled that everyting worked great.
There are 2 settings that will totally minimize this problem (even Galaxy note 8 and iphones of my brothers are having this problem too)
but if you follow these 2 steps you will definitely minimize them as much as other phones
1. Settings/Battery/App Launch and set individual aps you like to get the notification to Manage manually
- turn all the 3 options on here (running in background , startups , and can be run by other apps) this will stop your phone from killing these specific apps from running in background
The second reason you don't get your notifications is because when your screen is off the Wifi will be disconnected first and then for a certain period of time , the system will also turn off your mobile data to save the battery as well. This means even if you have those apps running in background , you still won't get the notification because there's no internet connection....
So step 2 - go to Settings/Battery/ then look at the top right corner for the "gear" icon ,click ---- > Keep mobile data on <----- turn on option
(if you don't have mobile data plan and only rely on your wifi connection,well, you need to turn on keep your w-lan on instead )
Have fun and cheers

Thanks, but I did all of this on the Note 8 (when I had one) and it did nothing. All of my notifications were blocked. The only way to fix it was to remove the awful PHONE MANAGER app via the ABD removal method.
If the Note 10 is going to be the same, I'll have to pass. I just want a phone that'll work properly out of the box.
No problem with WhatsApp, messenger eBay and Facebook so far, everything comes straight thru.
I did however observe sligh delay with Gmail.
Even with Gmail widget active in the background emails come at least one minute later after sending from another device.

I am using the Honor Mediapad X2 and having the same notifications issue, please note that there exists a HIDDEN WHITE LIST within Phone Manager where certain apps like Whatsapp are white listed and allow notifications to come through whereas other apps such as Hangouts and email clients are not. Having said this, do not use Whatsapp as a test to determine whether the Note 10 has the same issue or not. I do not know whether the Note 10's white list now includes apps such as Hangouts as it is a newer device and so it may be more up to date.
For your test, try an unpopular app which uses standard GCM protocol, kill the app, put the device into DEEP SLEEP (screen off, etc) and only then see if the device wakes up and notifications come through, they should.
Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!
The problems that i had on the Honor 8 are not on the Honor 10. I get all notifications with no problems. Just set the apps in manual mode and select all 3 options in phonemanager -> startup apps.

Hi
I am sorry to disappoint you. On the Huawei Honor note 10 (EMUI 8.2.0 build 132) you won't receive notifications if the application is closed (not running in the background nor in the foreground), with one exception that I have found so far: WhatsApp.
All the settings you can modify only affect the application WHILE IT'S RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, that is, the app will keep running if the background and won't be killed if you disabled battery optimization for the specific app and changed the App Launch setting to "Manage Manually" with all 3 options enabled. However, if the application was closed by you or never launched after restarting the phone, you won't receive notifications even with disabled battery optimization and power management.
I am so frustrated, I don't even get reminder notifications from Google Keep notes app. The only workaround is to manually open all the apps you wish to get notification from when you power up the phone.
If anyone has a better workaround or has a different behavior than what I described, please advise!
Cheers,
David

David, plz see my post above. I believe there is a built-in white list which once we are able to decipher would be very happy
Could this be the white list?

Hi,
Unfortunately I believe this is per design and not a bug (Huawei strict battery saving policy.
The only way to guarantee notifications is to open the app you wish to get notifications from and keep it always running in the background.
Read the article below, it explains down to the bit level why notifications don't work on Huawei phones:
Damn I cannot post outside links because I am a new user. So Instead, search Google for this:

I hope it helps

This always on option is there is the developer options in my unrooted stock release.
Hello friends, I am trying to decide if buy this phone or not, but the notification is a basic feature. My most used apps are Telegram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, so I want to know if there was an update or something that fixed the notification management. Thanks in advance.

Mate 30 pro messenger push notifications?

Hi, just bought a mate 30 pro a few days ago without google services. I side loaded all the apps I needed and everything was working great until I realised I wasn't getting my facebook messenger notifications. If the app is open they come through but when I close the app it's like it goes to sleep after about 5 mins. I made messenger my default sms app to see if that would help and all my texts worked fine but my facebook messages just won't work.
I have all my notifications on, app launch set to manual to allow auto-launch, secondary launch and run in background. I even allowed all permissions but didn't make a difference. I have performance mode on and have selected stay connected when device sleeps.
Has anyone else had any problems like this or know how to fix it? I've done a factory reset and been through every option I could think of. I love the mate 30 pro but probably going to have to get rid of it if i can't fix this problem.

Go to notification settings and turn on sounds and "on top" option. All notifications works well for me - asian version of mate 30 pro.
Same thing happened to me. What i did was reset phone update to the firmware and after that it went back to normal. For some reason it stopped working after i used the app phone clone tranffering old apps from my old mate 10. Hope it helps...
Same with me on my Mate 30 Pro 5G chuna version
Manage launch already set manuall and auto launch,secondary launch and keep running background all is ON..but same no notif
Yes..same in here too..mate 30 pro 5G china
All launch manually,it means run background,auto start always on..but still no luck..after 5 mins idle..no notif.
But my fren have it with global rom,and it work normally
No lock apps
I wonder if the reasons behind this problem are also the reason behind 'alarms' not going off sometimes. For example, I have an app called 'Alarm Clock Radio', and it seems like it needs to be the 'front' app for the alarm to remain set overnight? It seems to work just fine if I 'test' it by setting alarms in the near future, but it rarely lasts overnight. This app adds a notification when it has an alarm set, but that is sometimes not there and that seems to be coincident with the alarm not working...
oh, and also Accubattery, that is supposed to alert you when the charge gets to a certain level, but sometimes doesn't....

I made the changes to the 'Battery optimisation', so that the apps that I want to run long term, for whatever reason, aren't 'killed'...ie set to "Don't allow - May drain your battery more quickly"; but they still don't last until the next morning. I would have thought that apps like 'Alarm clock radio' would set some kind of system alarm that would launch the radio app, rather than have to have the app running continuously.
I ran the app Push Notification Tester and it comes back with error after 4 tests. Not registered for push notifications. It doesn’t matter if you change settings or not you don’t receive push notifications. Weird because I get normal SMS and WhatsApp just fine!

I think it has to do with the Mate 30 Pro not being registered with google and because so many apps as made for the google services, you can’t get Push Notifications to work 100%
All apps that reply on play service to send push notifications wont work you cant pass all the test.

Indeed. My question is do all apps on Google Android require GMS to send Push Notifications?
I ask because I know that not only Google run the notification services, but do they all use the GMSes on Google Android phones, or can phones have multiple on-device services to consolidate communications with cloud-based push notification services?
Can, eg, a Pixel phone, also install Huawei Managed Services?

Very good question. I have been looking into it but so far I thinks that’s why Huawei is trying to get all the apps on there system! (HMS)

Apps like the whatsapp, messenger, viber etc still work. Apps that work perfectly before you install the GMS will receive push notifications. Because they dont rely on the play service.

Exactly, I realised after installing GMS on Mate 30 Pro that push notification on Gmail, Outlook and most apps are not working. Instant messaging, social media and messenger are working just okay with or without GMS.
I just installed GMS on my mate30 pro, everything works well, just push notification is not working.
I ran the tester and there is a error of registration error of push notification.
How to fix this?
