Good morning everyone,
I'm from France. Two years ago, I bought a Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I was very happy about this device, but I had to sell it because of a bug with the notifications not coming through (Whatsapp, Facebook..) when the screen was off. I tried all the settings possible but nothing worked. Today, I'd like to buy a Huawei Mate 9, but I wonder if this bug is still there ? I did a lot of researchs about the settings we must apply before seeing notifications coming through.. like Protect the apps, Ignore battery optimization, switch power plan to "performance" etc... But people still have troubles on many Huawei devices.. I even red an article on xda about how to get rid of Doze on Huawei devices to see the notification get fully functional..
But also red many articles saying that Huawei will roll out an update at the Autumn to definitely see notifications work directly out of the box.. Is it true ? And is the fix already implemented in Emui 5.0 on the Mate 9 ?
Thanks a lot for all your answers. I'd really like to buy this device but I won't if this bug is still there...
Have a nice day !
I believe the bug you mention is due to the "feature" in EMUI which aggressively kills apps as soon as the screen is locked. In EMUI 5.0 this has now become an opt-in service. There is a list of apps, empty by default, which are killed. So the user now has far more control over this entire process. Personally I have had zero issues receiving whatsapp's or other notifications while the phone was sleeping.

Thank you very much for your answer ! That's very interresting and I'm very happy about it !
Where is this setting exactly in Emui 5.0 ?
You have 0 problem about notifications (on data as well as wi-fi ?) but, was it 100 % functional out of the box or did you have to apply some settings first ?
I'd also like to have more feedbacks before I make my final decision ! Anyways, thanks again ! That is a wonderful news !
It's part of the battery screen, app power saving tab. Worked fine out of the box for me, didn't need to change a thing.
Ok, that's great ! Thank you ! Can other Mate 9 owners confirm it ? So I think I'll go for it on Friday !
I can confirm. There is no notification bug that I have found yet.
what about notification icons on the status ar.. has that been fixed or it is still just a number

It's still a useless number.
Wtf use is a number? Where have all my notification icons gone? Is this a emui issue?
I bought the mate 9 couple of days back and I'm confirming the issue of whatsapp still present. You won't be able to know how many unread messages you have from the icon, unless you open the app or top slider. Bearing on mind I've formated the device but it was a useless trial.

That's a different issue from what OP was talking about. You're discussing the fact notifications are grouped together in a number, he was discussing whatapp messages not even arriving because the phone would kill the application. The first is still present (Although the Android Police podcast was saying it would probably be fixed soon by a software update), the second has been solved in EMUI 5.0.
That's why I'm using smart launcher 3. Bestest launcher anyways but it also shows notifications per icon, really great. And the notification number in the notification bar you can switch them off int the settings. Better even, all my phone's notifications end up on my Pebble...
Nova launcher in my opinion is the best. I've been running it on all my android devices since it was released. It also has unread notification counts on each app of your choice. It's very fast and efficient. I have a Pebble time steel, so I agree with @blackspp.
+1 for Nova launcher on all my devices (paid)!
I also confirm notification issue with mine bought in germany
Hello again everyone,
So I bought the device two days ago and I received it yesterday. In the first place, when I ran some tests, I was I little bit worried because, on data, I had my Whatsapp notification only if I opened the app.. On wi-fi, everything worked instantly. Same problem I had with my Mate 7. Worst, a friend made a Whatsapp phone call right next to me.. And the phone started ringing only 10 - 15 secondes after..
But then, fortuantely, my friend and I kept running some tests and suddenly, the terminal behavior was normal.. So... I didn't understand all of this but.. fingers crossed for now !
Thank you all !

I can confirm the delay of push notifications with Nine email. Very irregulary. Some time the notifications are very on time but sometimes the delay is max ca 4 minutes.
I confirmed the whatsapp notification bug still present.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I can also confirm the notification bug exist. I enabled all permissions and disabled all battery optimization options but am still not getting whatsapp notifications unless I open the app.
Does anyone know if switching to Nova launcher will help retrieve those notifications? Or does it only affect the display of the notifications (bubbles on icons instead of number in status bar)?

For what it's worth I've installed Nova on day 1 and have had no issues at all receiving whatsapp notifications.
Friends, Android user of 10 years. Never seen this issue, EVER. Came over from an Axon 7 yesterday. Here's the situation.
Mate 9 US Version B138
Not Rooted or altered AT ALL
Unknown sources is checked in Security
Developer Options enabled
No screen dimmer apps
Blue Eye filter disabled and enabled when this happened
Basically, when trying to install some apps via a File Manager, not the Play Store, some apps are installing like any other would, while others are not letting me click the "Next" button during the installation process. No errors, no other indicators of why? "Cancel" button works fine. While some other APKs even the "Next" button works and everything installs fine.
Like I said... I have never ever seen this weird issue before. The closest was when I had a non root blue light filter app on and the "Install" button wouldn't work, no errors, no other indicators.
Can someone please help? Have you seen this issue before?
Thanks!
Anyone? Thanks guys!

Thanks brother, but that wasn't it...
[SOLVED]
For anyone else who may face this issue, here's the solution:
It's similar to the screen dimmer/blue light filter issue. Basically, I was using a custom theme that was skinning the Package Installer. Somehow, the system must have seen this as "drawing" over the application and therefore disabled any app installations. That still does not explain why some APKs were installing, but this is good enough. The fix is to revert to stock theme and install your APK then.
Thanks to anyone that tried to help!
I had the same problem with a theme yesterday - went back to stock because of it. Kind of annoying

I hear ya bud! Even scarier, this issue is not documented anywhere, hope this post helps others! Have you seen this issue with EVERY theme?
Thanks for your input!
I have been having trouble finding themes I like - I like dark themes but then they look terrible in the email app (everything dark except the email body is colored or white which looks bad). Finally found the BWM black & white theme I liked and that had the installer problem. For now, back to stock.
Is it possible that those failed apps needed much more free space on your mobile?
This issue actually occurs if you have any screen filter apps installed in your device. Some apps that are known to cause the apk file installation problem include Twilight, Screen Adjuster, Easy Eye, Darker and Blue Light Filter.
In addition, any persistant overlay may prevent usage of the "install" or "next" button when installing an app from the SD card. Chat heads, floating battery stats, etc are all possible culprits.
This is a safety built into android to prevent an app from popping up an overlay over the required permissions list and showing a "safe" list of required permissions on top of the real list of persmissions that allow it to read your texts, pick your wallet, and root around in your underwear drawer.

Hey James, thanks for your thoughtful responses. No I definitely have a lot of space, and to your point, this problem is famously known with other phones and with the "Install" button. But two things make it unique:
1. Huawei calls their install button "Next" so this is hard to find a Google solution to.
2. I don't have any of those apps you mentioned, otherwise I would have solved that issue right away. The culprit here was a theme an .hwt file... So that's why I was struggling to find an answer...
Thanks again!

Another clue for your reference.
As I know, Huawei mate 8 has a feature which is some like those "Bluelight Filter for Eye Care" apps.
Settings - Display - SCREEN - Eye confort.
So, is there this stock blue light filter feature on your phone? If yes, is it possible that the issue resulted from this feature enabling?

Yes it exists in the Mate 9 James, and of course I disabled or turned it off... The problem was still there... It's the themes, some of them fool the system into thinking a screen drawing is enabled to it doesn't allow for installation. Strangely, my current custom theme is allowing for installation... :-\
I'm having similar issues. The apps I can't get to install are; Anything from Amazon App store underground app. mSecure app, and various others.
2nd: Phone will NOT pair with external Camera that I have...HTC Re-Cam, or LG 360 Camera.

I think I solved the issue today.
Using stock theme app, apply the stock EMUI theme. Reboot phone, than try to install applications.
My thoughts:... any non-stock theme being used/applied creates an overlay. So when the "next" button isn't responding (when the next button is at the top of install screen), it's cause the real button is located on the bottom right.

Hey XDA,
I just got a new Mate 9 after I send my Nexus 6P to RMA. So far a great phone, although I've been annoying myself to some notification and Bluetooth related issues so far. I hope someone may be able to help me out here. Would be really appreciated.
- Notifications seem to ignore there given importance by the app and are not ordered to it. All notifications are simple visible in the status bar with it's icon, even if the priority is low, when on the Nexus 6P it would be hidden from the notification area and on the bottom of the notification drawer. This is really annoying for constantly running apps/processes like AccuBattery, Tasker, PocketBell and WhatsApp's web notification. Is there any way to honor this importance/priority without setting this for the whole app and order these notifications?
- Notifications seem not to honor there persistency. For example, when listening to Spotify, I'm able to swipe away this notification, which shouldn't be possible. Is there any way to make these really persistent?
- Notifications are not visible on the lock screen. I'm only able to select this on an per-app basis, but is there any way to configure this the other way around? Show all apps on lock, instead of the apps I don't want?
- Bluetooth Audio volume is not controllable through the phone. The sound volumes are separate, one on my headset and the phone. Any way to link these back together, like the feature added in Android 6, if I'm correct? Although, I'm able to see the charge of my headset. That's new, so I wonder why the volume isn't linked.
I've been used to Android Oreo/Nougat on the Nexus 6P and find these issues above really counterproductive and I'll lose the overview fast this way. Is this just me, or is this really different then the AOSP?
And if so, any idea how I can fix this? Is there something baked into EMUI that would fix this, or will a APP/ROM be the only solution? (although, I don't hope so) I have searched the web, but I wasn't able to find relation questions.
Oh, I'm having the MHA-L09 (with MHA-L09C432B126).
Thanks in advance!

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

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:

Hi everyone,
I just updated my phone to EMUI 9.0 (Indian Variant) and i have a few concerns which i'm listing below.
Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
When you use splitscreen Emui stop showing the recent apps list. I get empty screen with wallpaper. It seems the windows are there, because when I click in the empty space the apps switch, but they are invisible. (Credits Medard22)
Huawei and Honor have officially disabled support for Google camera in their latest EMUI 9. All who got the EMUI 9 will not get the taste of Google camera anymore until they will enable it again. (Credits Zenkilla, Irshad Wani)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
1. The icons are moved to the left on the Android Pie, you can't move it back.
2. This is also normal on Pie and EMUI 9, and also can't revert. The 'blue screen' never happened to me, I don't know why is that happening to you.
3. The tips will stop appearing after some time. At least they did on my phone.
4. From the lock screen: swipe up, tap the settings button in the right bottom corner (the gear icon) and unlock the phone. It will open the Magazine subscriptions.
I hope I helped.
1. Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
This is because most of the phone launching with notch and Honor has started moving that icon to left. No way to move back untill a working xposed module.
2. The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
Not possible anymore unless on emui 8 or custom ROM.
3. When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
Nope. May a theme you are using is causing this.
4. The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
It was there for 2-3 days then stopped.
5. How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
As mentioned in above comment but in my case, when i opened i found it opening gallery and that's blank.

Looks like you don't have Magazine Unlock option at all. Here's how the Home Screen settings look on my phone. It is very strange...

It looks like something is wrong with my v10. It shows magazine unlock in themes->Customize->Lock screen
My problem is I don't have the update yet

Its being rolled out in batches. You'll get it soon.
Well my problem with he update is that function, where you could make the alarm ringtone grow louder over time is now gone. I always use very low alarm volume so that I would not get heart attack every morning. Got the update yesterday and the alarm was so quiet that I overslept. After years Google finally bundle it to the stock app and now huawei removes it. Now that´s a progress. Also having Honor View 10 I must say i don´t like the stock camera app. In EMUI 8 there were a handy swiping gestures bringing mode selection and settings, well they are gone now it´s now a bit more ... clunky.
How's your ram usage? I noticed before upgrade I usually have near 1.5~1.8gb free ram I think can't be sure I didn't screenshot it. Now I have 800+mb. Only diference between old android and new android is I add weather widget which didn't eat as much ram. Restart I get 3gb free.
I found a way to revert to the EMUI 8 vertically stacked recent apps, but it requires root. If you use Titanium Backup or something similar to freeze the Huawei Home app and switch to a different launcher, it will revert to the Android 8 style recent apps.
This is weird, because it's as if the Android 9 style horizontal recents is not part of the OS, but a component of the Huawei Home app.
I'm sticking with vertical for now because I was getting the same blue tint that you described on the horizontal recents.

That's quite strange, as mine is always 2gb free. See screen shot attached

Even i feel the same way now, but give it time to get used to and you'll surely like it.
Also as you said huawei removed what google made default, i have experienced similar thing in the smart unlock tab. Google provides a lot of options to unlock by location, bluetooth etc but huawei trims it as per outs own liking.

Even i thought that's the part of OS update, never expected it to be launched related. Although, i'm not rooted but i use a different launcher, so maybe i think i'll just root.

This is issue faced by only some users, so i believe we should make a factory reset as i'm about to do in the coming days.
Since you are having issue similar to mine, can you also confirm if you have the magazine unlock tab in the home screen and wallpaper in settings?
Is there any official feedback thread? I found some more bugs. Some webpages have problem rendering their mobile versions on Pie. Also the 3D panorama in gallery doesn't work. After you click on the 3d button it constructs the mesh then freezes Right now I'm not very excited about the update unfortunately.
So I'm the only one that wants to use gestures but can't because my case cover the Sides?
