P8 Max + Android Wear - Huawei P8max

I've been using Android wear on my G Watch R since day one.
It has worked with every phone I've had.
It 'kinda' works with the P8 Max..
Basically there is a HUGE delay when receiving Txt msgs and Gmail emails.. And I have switched to the default sms app and the same thing happens.
Sometimes, if I am playing with the phone, they come through immediately, but most of the time I hear the notification sound on the phone, look at my watch.. and nothing. It just doesn't appear, until I turn the phone on, and play around a bit, which totally ruins it..
Yes, I have turned off the lock screen, made Android Wear a protected app that doesn't turn off, and Gmail, and hangouts.. It's still not working!
I love LOVE the phone, but this issue could be a real deal breaker..
I have seen online that EMUI and Huawei have issues with Wear, although many feel these issues have been fixed!? but I was wondering if I was doing something wrong ?
Does anyone have a Wear watch + P8Max and does it work perfectly for you ?

Rooted or Not?

Not.
But if it helps, I'll root..
What can root do for this issue?

I guess by freezing/removing Phone Manager, you will get instant notification as it is Phone Manager which is 'preventing' communication to save power.
PS: Even I have not rooted and thinking of ditching my Moto360 after exactly 1 year as I love P8max more and missing my conventional watch.

im using it along with LG Urbane and dont find any issues and I havent rooted

Wow..
Really?
That makes me happy and sad ... ;-p
No delay when receiving texts?
Do you use default apps or gmail + hangouts ?
Thanks.

using non-rooted P8max DAV-703L with moto360 and latest version of android wear... not much issues, occasional disconnects and delays, but generally working ok.... tested with whatsapp, hangouts, phone call, calendar...
set android wear as a protected app in phone manager and viola!

Work perfectly with my gear S2 classic

Anyone having buyers remorse?

Well, one week till CES where Huawei will announce the US version. Getting excited! But I was wondering. Anyone have buyers remorse at this point? Do you like the Mate 8 more or less as time goes on?
No buyer's remorse here.. I'm quite sure if a N/A version is released there will an accompanying rom as well..

Thanks. I'm trying to decide whether to get the Mate 8 (Great specs and build), Blu Pure XL (very good specs, cheap, its been rooted and has TWRP - also some promise for developer support) or stay pat with my Note Edge (I do like the edge features and it's screen is basically as wide as the Mate 8, just not as tall. also Marshmallow arrives in the next few months hopefully). Decisions decisions....

Yeah, it all comes down to how much do you want to spend.. I bought the 128GB version, I had the Mate 7 so I knew what to expect..
If I could only get notifications working properly then I would be 100% happy.

Notifications panel & status bar in settings and permission manager for the apps that are not notifying you.. Hope that helps..

Been there done that, been through every option and nothing helps. Reading around, this seems to be a common bug with emui, and the only way around this is to disable phone manager or make the apps system apps. Which can't be done without root. So, right now I am playing a waiting game.

altaz,
Similar problems have been noted in some of the other threads. Is it possible that the problem you are experiencing isn't due to actual notification issues, but that the apps you are expecting notifications from are not currently being permitted to run in the background when the phone's screen is turned off?
I'm not sure which apps you are having trouble with, but for example, with Whatsapp(?). If this sounds like it might be the issue for you (and you haven't already looked into this), try going into Settings-->Advanced settings-->Battery manager-->Protected apps and allow those apps that should be receiving notifications.
As to the original question of the thread, no remorse. So far so good. A pretty sleek, powerful phone. Just need to get it rooted.
Might be the interactions between marshmelow & emui, if that is the case a fix should only be imenent.
Nevertheless, try this ---> battery manager itself; click on the setting icon up left of the screen, you need to switch on (Keep mobile data on when sleeping).
Of course that is in congunction with the rest of the settings/permissions.
Good luck,
No buyers remorse here. Having recently had a P8Max I knew what to expect with regards to setting up notifications and permissions so they work, and for me currently no particular problems. The camera is not as good as the best of 2015, or even 2014, but I had realistic expectations there and the camera is performing well enough for me in light of the other benefits.

Seems this notification problem is becoming more annoying, i have turned on everything possible (permissions, auto start, notifications, ignore optimizations). I even found another layer of settings in the apps settings that allow a deeper level of changes (settings > Apps > Advanced) . And still i can't get emails to notify when the phone is in standby. This is even after i have left the email application on, and turned the turned the phone off via the power button. i've spent a number of hours sending myself emails in various conditions and while might get the notifications sometimes, others i may not so this doesn't help narrow down the cause.
I have now realized that it's not just emails that are affected, i don't get auto notifications in Google Photos or Rewards, and some apps which run on schedule. The google apps only update when i open the app. which is useless for apps like Rewards, since the surveys expire after 24 hours, so go knows how many i have missed since i moved this this phone. I've never had this type of problem with any other android phone, and i;ve had a fair number of them over the years. At this point, since i am not able to return the phone i am thinking that i might have to do a factory reset, and hope for the best.

altaz, no need mine works now. just follow my previous post in this thread.
Just got mine today. No remorse here, and hey there might be a rom to flash once the US variant comes out. I love this phone.
I'll have buyers remorse if one of these other A72 devices gets the same battery life and camera for <$400
I love it coming from note 5. No regrets. Glad i didnt wait for mobile congress as i was very dissapointed with both lg and samsung. Love the mate 8
i agree, while LG had some nifty ideas regarding that modularity, all in all im not much impressed with either the G5 or S7 line... happy camper with my mate 8 indeed
This is probably the first phone I ever got that I didn't get buyers remorse hours after buying it. I've come from a S5, S4 and original Note before.
hours after buying? only phone? well that sounds like someone didnt do proper research first

Hello.
I am from germany. My Mate 8 is a chinese one with original B162 Rom. Notifications don`t work for me.
What i did:
data in sleep mode enabled
apps are allowed to stay active at sleep
notification in priority mode
rooted device
made WhatsApp and Android Wear (for my huawei watch) to system apps with Titanium Backup (i bought it before ...)
freeze phone manager
I dont`t get my notifications all the time. Very bad are notifications for my huawei watch. My phone rings (WhatsApp), but my watch doenst. Then i start the Android Wear app and the notifications are pushed to my watch.
The phone is ok. I am coming from Samsung S6 Edge+. But the notifications MUST come always.
What else can i try?
(sorry for my bad english)
I had only notification issues with whatsapp - however the situation has improved greatly after I installed the app Push Notification fixer ( no root version)
Now I'd say missed notifications is very very much lessen, probably around 10+ % only
All my other apps eg Maildroid ( only mail app I used), Friendcaster, some newsfeed app, XDA etc no notification problems at all
Mine is China set on B156 firmware ( non rooted)

Notification problem Mate 8 + LG watch Urbane

hi, i just bought an international Mate 8 and i try to use it with a Lg watch Urbane, the problem that im facing is that sometimes i dont get notifications from Whatsapp from my phone on my watch, sometimes it works and sometimes not ( havent figured out a pattern). this problem is only for whatsapp, all other apps receive notifications on watch.
does someone else have a problem with android wear devices and mate 8 in notification area? or a solution to my problem?
do u receive the whatsapp notifications on your phone? or does it have the same issue as ur watch?
Youll find itll work when the screen is on or has not long gone to sleep. Itll stop when it goes into deep sleep. Youll need to hunt the battery area to protect some apps from being turned off

OP any updates about fixing this problem?
I generally was able to fix it by rooting, setting up doze settings to allow the phone to wake up every 15 minutes, and setting Android Wear app to be able to run with screen off, and protected from battery savings.
i fixed it by restoring the phone to factory default and reinstalling, now all works perfect, probably it was a faulty installation of something before.
i have this problem again, so the notifications are received on the phone but i don't receive them on the watch. sometimes i receive them even 20 minutes later or i never receive them. and there are also moments when the notifications work fine... do any of you use mate 8 with a watch? does it work ok?
I used Mate 8 with a watch and had all the problems you did. The issue is Doze and the way the Mate 8 makes it work. No solution has been found, and I can't work on one anymore, because my phone's bricked, unfortunately.

i hove they find a solution soon, this is the only problem that makes me unhappy with the phone.
i think there is some problem with the EMUI, which could be fixed by Huawei after the update(if there is one)
Hello, I use the Moto 360. First I had the same Problem like you. All Apps are protected in the Accu Area. Notifications are not pushed to my Moto or pushed late.
I have changed this: Settings-> Apps -> Erweitert -> Optimierungen Ignorieren (last point in list) -> search for Android Wear or your App and set it to ignore. (sorry for German / English mixture but i use it in German)
Since then I receive on my Moto Messages from Nine (Mailclient), Aquamail, WhatsApp and Facebook.
Only when the Notification on phone is missing (sometimes) then there is no Push as well on my moto

Installed "Feel the wear" app, and it seems ok now... All the notification will be pushed to my watch (Moto 360). Not sure 100%, you guys can try...

Hi, I had the same problem with my NXT-L09, but i also installed Feel the Wear and WhatsApp notifications are working now on mi MOTO 360. It's a strange behavior, because in the phone, notifications are working well and it's difficult to determine if the main reason is related to EMUI Issues.
I'll Keep testing, if i have other solution i'll tell.

Is somebody get an idea ? I've got the same problem and it's really annoying !

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.

Question Notification problems

Hello All
Ive got the GW4 46mm BT classic paired with a Note20U both up to date , woke up this morning after watch been fine for a week and put my watch on but no notifications coming thru to the watch did quick restart on both no go.
Reset the watch and only some notifications come thru no email or texts tho whatsapp is ok , checked settings nothing has changed.
Uninstalled galaxy gear app and reset watch still the same missing certain notifications even tho they are ticked .
Watch is set to show even if phone is open.
Any ideas ?
You may need to turn on notifications for the specific apps in the wearable app. I had to do this as I was getting no notifications for any apps.
Thanks for the reply
I've checked all the settings and all ticked . Emaids via the Samsung app now work but texts messages have now stopped showing on the watch even tho notification is ticked !!!
Same here, specially with Aqua Mail app, WhatsApp...etc.
As I never had this problem with the old generation watch I got before (Gear S3 running Tizen), I think we have just to wait for the 1st product OS update.
Youth problems are common on first releases. I hope first OTA will fix this annoying problem.

Same here. Text messages and phone calls appear fine. WhatsApp is a hit and miss, sometimes pops up, sometimes just silently shows the notification dot.
In general, regardless of this bug, notification management on this watch is a mess, very poor user experience.
Some things I noticed:
1. If you're driving with Android Auto, it's impossible to respond or take action on a notification on your watch. Anything you click on (such as 'Delete' on an email notification or 'Mark as Read' on a text message) seemingly registers on the watch but the notification persists and no action is taken.
2. The notification indicator is useless if you have the watch set to wake up the screen when you get a notification. Basically it wakes up the screen to display the notification and from that point on it's considered 'read' so the indicator won't appear, even if you didn't actually look at it. They should've had an option to show the indicator while you have uncleared notifications.
3. Multiple notifications from the same app require you to click on a tiny number icon at the bottom of the notification. Inconvenient. (Think when you have multiple WhatsApp messages from different contacts).
4. Looking at a notification screen gives you no indication of whether or not you have other notifications, you have to try to swipe left to check.
5. To clear a notification while it's open -- you either have to click 'back' to the main notification screen and then swipe up or scroll all the way down to find the 'clear' button -- which sometimes isn't there and you have to click on 'More...' first. How about just allowing me to swipe to dismiss it after reading it?!
They'e put a lot of emphasis on health, but given very little thought about the basics.
I can only confirm and complain that I get 0 notifications from Whatsapp even though I've checked all the notifiation settings multiple times. Also even though I've got the wear os version of telegram installed, the telegram notifications I get are standard notifications that can't show e.g. pictures or voice messages.
It was working fine when I got it on tuesday. It even worked fine after the "day 1 OTA". And now I get nothing at all. Tried everything from granting more permissions to the Watch4 Plugin or disabling battery optimization and stuff. Restarted both devices a lot. It just stopped working. I am glad I am not the only one...

Weird... well I guess I have to wait. lol
Update from me as well. I turned off both phone and watch and turned them back on together after a few minutes. I don't know why it works but it does.
Edit: Nvm it worked for like one notification and then it stopped working again...
Restarting both devices helped me.
I played around with a bit more. Restarting both devices helps...for a while. As soon as the watch reconnects to the phone (i.e. you move too far from your phone) it stops working. Very annoying still.

I have the impression that all the notifications work fine now: Gmail, WhatsApp, Nuki, telegram, Smartthings, messages, Gtask.
Hope it will stay ok.
Mean reason for me is having phone on silence but I can see notifications on watch.
Btw the watch 4 classic is a real beast.
What version of plugin do you have?
I still have no gmail vibrate.

General Have watch week and few questions issues

Ok using the watch pass few days and few questions. I am not using a Samsung phone (OP 7pro) and on android 11 and watch software up to date
Notifications are sporadic. I am not getting notified by noise or vibration on watch for some WhatsApp and gmails? I have them set up as allowed in notifications on wear app. I have 3 Gmail accounts set up but seem to only get notifications for one assigned to Samsung account?
Also, not fitness freak but does the watch auto detect say when you go for a walk/run? It seems to kick in when I am 5 minutes into the walk/run, well that’s when I get notified?
Also have display set to Raise wrist to wake but this is also sporadic and sometimes I have to touch the screen for it to wake
Battery seems to be fine and have not tested voice calls on watch yet but not missed any calls yet while phone in pocket
Anyone has same issues and any way they sorted it other than turning it on and off
Cheers

So does it count these 10 mins or does a 30 minute run only record as 20 minute?
Yes records from start.
Notifications especially from Gmail are flakey at best and that's with a Samsung phone, started to use Samsung email app and works fine.

Yeah seems Samsung email app only works on Samsung phones
K3 email what is that? or any other email app that works with phone for notifications or I can try?
I think it's a Wear OS 3 problem and not a Samsung one
Yeah hopefully future updates can sort out notifications issues
How's everyone getting on regarding raise wrist to wake as it's temperamental for me
@funkyirishman , for the notifications, I had to go on the watch to the very bottom of the notifications settings, and tap "Show on Phone". Many of my phone's apps were toggled off including Gmail.
It's been much better after that.
