App notifications + Wifi? Some answers some questions

So I have stumbled across a bug that is rather frustrating. This bug was that I could not receive notifications in "real time"( if that makes sense) basically I mean very delayed. A fellow XDA member pointed me out to a thread that has a solution for this which goes as follows:
Settings-> Additional settings->Battery& performance -> Manage apps battery use->chose apps.
After that its pretty straight forward.
My current problem is that I still get delayed notifications in Wi-Fi. I have tested this out on about 10 different Wi-Fi networks. I am sure this is some stupid MiUi setting hidden somewhere making the phone go in a deep sleep state or a battery mode or something..
Before people start recommending installing CM, I am not interested in it, until CM bugs are fixed, Also this is not a solution that answers my question.
I hope the solution above has helped other people as it has for me, for the Wi-Fi issue any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome.. (Haven't tried the IPV4 thingie I read in XDA but that doesnt seem like a solution that I can apply when I am at someone elses house or out =/ )

About the notifications problem
I don't know if we are talking about the same issue, but I have seen delayed notifications on many phones and Android versions in the past. Also, the web is full of forums and sites where people complain about this. I think this is more a Google Cloud Messaging bug than a Xiaomi or Miui bug.
Maybe the people here suffering from this issue can try this app

Helped me in the past. You can chance the heartbeat of your internet connection to keep it alive.
I can't say if i have this issue because i didn't got much notifications in the last days. At least i didn't noticed something. Also my banking app notifies me immediately when i do banking stuff or pay somewhere.
Also, the people who gets disconnected when they turn off the screen on Miui, there is a setting in the security app under battery profiles which says by default "clear on lockscreen". Maybe making an own profile with a different setting helps here

In what settings? Security app or Push Notification Fixer app (in this app you just have to hit "apply settings" and reboot)

You can read about it in the projects XDA-thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142503

I read about "heartbeat interval", but if the problem is it, notification should not work correctly even when screen is on. While it seems here we are speaking when the screen is off, right?

I made some research, and i wrote all settings that could be interesting. I write them here just to be sure all settings was checked.
These settings should be adjusted, besides your pushing apps (wapp, facebook,etc.), even for:
- Google Services Framework
- Google Account Manager
- Google Play services
- Google Play Store
Code:
1.Goto Security->Permissions->Autostart and give autostart permissions to the Google Services Framework,Google Account Manager and your Messaging apps like whatsapp,hike,etc.
2.Goto Security folder>permissions> and give permissions to each apps.
3.Goto Security->Data Usage->Data Usage Stats and Select your app . After that check if background data is enabled. If it is not enabled, enable it
4.Goto Security->Data Usage->Data Saver->Manage Apps and turn off optimization for the messaging apps.
5.Goto Settings>Additional Settings>Battery>Manage app battery usage, now disable/turn off the following options.
- Manage app battery usage
- Restrict apps when battery is low
Or
- Select "Choose apps to restrict" and unselect/untick the apps from the list
6.Goto security folder and click the check button.
7.If you have already opened these apps you will see these apps in the memory tab.
Click on the memory tab and uncheck these apps and any other apps you desire or you can simply go to recents panel and lock this app by swiping down.
8.Goto settings<security<locatIon<location acces<permissions<messenger<display pop up....
Finally reboot the device and check.
Do you hav adjuested all these checks? If yes, it is clear there is a GREAT bug in MIUI rom, or better miui kernel.

People, don't try nothing, this is simply a MIUI bug!!!

I don't even have any of these options on my Mi4C. For me it looks like all those Google apps are hidden? I can only change permissions or power settings for WhatsApp, can't find Google Services Framework etc
I only get WhatsApp messages reliably if my phone is unlocked and WhatsApp is open. And can only connect to WhatsApp Web if my phone unlocked and WhatsApp open.... Really frustrating.
Keep finding I've missed messages from hours ago cause they never showed up in notifications.
I've done everything here: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/android/20887936
Installed Push Notification Fixer
Still same problem. Must be MIUI bug

whatsapp issue on Mate9

I have a Mate9 where the whatsapp was fully functional since installation, but suddenly last two days the apps (whatsapp) stopped notifying about new received messages until I open it. So now I am obliged to check my whatsapp every 30 minutes by opening and checking for pending messages.
any help?

its known issue with notifications in the chinese mate 9 hopefully Andorid O will fix it

I just studied this issue several days ago. Here are some advice for you.
1. Settings - Apps - WhatsApp - Battery
Make sure the option 'App auto-lanuch' enabled and the 'Close after screen locked' disabled.
2. Settings - Apps - WhatsApp - Notifications
Make sure all options enabled.

I checked and found the option 'App-Auto-Launch' option disabled which I have enabled. that could be the reason. I will test for few days and feedback. much thanks for the great support.

You are welcome.
As we are not sure why and when the option 'App-Auto-Launch' on your phone was disabled automatically, you can also try to give the app full access to all permissions.
Settings - Apps - WhatsApp - Permissions - Set individual permissions, enable option 'Trust this app'.
Any result, please feedback here to all.

Hi James,
I have done all the settings required as per your recommendation, and I have observed the behavior of whatsapp for few days. I noticed sometimes it works and other time it doesn't. after doing those settings recommended the phone started alerting me about applications that are the top consumer of power; Whatsapp, Firefox are always in the top. Power is a big concern for Mate9 and everytime battery goes less than certain threshold (50%), the phone decides to make-asleep the power-consumers.
Cool, I believe no solution to such effect other than keep the phone on charger

It was said that it is the stock app, Phone Manager, which will occasionally stop WhatsApp improperly. And the suggested solution is to disable its some option as below.
Settings - Apps - Phone Manager - Write system settings, disable the option, 'Allow write system settings'.

I just wonder whether this whatsapp issue only exists on China version Mate 9.

the mate 9 is not the only phone from HUAWEi / HONOR which was affected to this problem! I had this on my Honor 7 too.
Reason for this behaviour seems to be the deep sleep function of their devices.

Edit, solved issue

Phone manager is there real culprit. Rooted guys can uninstall it while others can follow this solution.
---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------
Another solution is to search for "ignore battery Optimisation" in settings and disable it for WhatsApp.

Its because of the battery saving features on emui cause the halt notifications. But no worries, it has a solution.
1. Go to settings>battery, tap on the settings icon on top right corner, make sure everthing off in there except keep mobile data on during sleep.
2. Go to settings>battery>lock screen cleanup, make sure your desire apps not turn on.
3. Go to settings>apps, tap on the setting icon on center, go to special access>ignore optimisations, change to all apps, choose your desire apps, and make it allowed.
Voila! All sets and your desire apps will be working normally without notification halted. Hope it helps.

Problem with notification for Gmail and some other apps

I am into one week of using my new OnePlus 6. I observed side yesterday that I don't receive notifications from Gmail and Outlook.
I tested that other apps like WhatsApp and Hangouts receive notification (sound and led) just alright.
I double checked that the led notification settings and notification settings for Gmail is enabled. Does anybody have the same problem?

Yes.
I actually have this same issue, I can't give you any solution. I have to get into the app and refresh it manually

Same hear was waiting for important email all day and when I went into Gmail hours later it was actually there no notification , not sure on a fix to
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

Just random thinking as I get gmail notification, maybe check the app settings itself to see if notification is on, check to see if auto sync is on in settings-accounts-google, maybe also check settings-notification-app (there are some extra settings in the type of alert style and for sound state). Don't know if any of these will help but maybe take a look. Hope y'all get find the issue and fix it, good luck :good:

I have a problem with Gmail.When mail comes to he notification does appear in the notification area but no notification sound

Wat about doze n battery optimisation setting
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6000 using Tapatalk

I have never in my life had Gmail notifications in real time on any phone...

This is an Oxygen OS bug. I had this on the OP5 , OP5t and now on the 6. Has nothing to do with doze settings or battery optimalization.
What could help, what solved it for me: open the recent apps, find the app with these problems and click on the padlock on the right side.
And else leave a bugreport on the OnePlus site.

I had this same issue with multiple apps
What fixed it for me was disabling advanced battery optimization. (Settings -> Battery -> Battery Optimization -> Three dots at the top right -> Advanced Optimization -> Disable it).
not sure if it helps you guys but might be worth trying

I had same issue for Gmail notifications. Disabling advanced optimization didn't help since system apps don't show there for me. What fixed it for me is removing it as system app (of course you need to be rooted to do that) and then installing as user app. Then removing advanced optimization. Now it shows live notifications for all emails I receive.

What you are talking about isn't advanced optimization, just normal battery optimization.
Advanced optimization is system-wide, not for individual apps. Either you have it disabled for all apps, or enabled for all.

Gmail is a system app so I can't change the battery optimization settings for it. However, I am curious of WhatApp and Hangouts as they are set to "Optimized" in the battery optimization settings and yet the notifications work fine for them.
But as also pointed by others, this has been a problem across different generations of OnePlus devices. I don't know why has this issue not been fixed and none of the reviewers ever mentioned it.
Yesterday, I found a partial workaround by installing the Light Manager app from Play store. With it I configured the LED notification for Gmail to be set as blue. Now whenever, I receive a notification (although delayed) I have a blue led notification but still no sound, which is really strange.

To those not getting notifications, try this, go to gmail app, open settings, select the account for which you want notifications, click on inbox notifications, and tick notify for every message, you should start receiving notifications. Cheers.

I had the same problem with gmail. I ended up freezing/ deactivating the app and now using K9. Aquamail is good as well.
No problems since then. K9 also gives you the option to sync every x minutes if you think you don't get mail notification fast enough.

i had the similar issue so i marked the app as "not optimized" and now i get all notifications

I installed the Google app called inbox virtually the same as Gmail ,I also disabled battery optimization,works perfectly

Had same issue with Gmail app, it doesn't appear under battery optimization. I cleared cached and cleared data in the app, uninstalled and then reinstalled. Haven't had an issue since. I think there was an update to it that didn't play well with Oxygen OS.

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

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:

Inconsistent notifications

Hey guys,
So have the Chinese version with the Chinese ROM still.
I have noticed that sometimes apps no longer give me notifications unless I open them.
For example, if I do not open Gmail it does not auto download the emails and does not notify me of new mails.
WhatsApp does not always tell me I have new messages unless I open it etc.
I have tried to check the power settings and such and cannot find anything.
This happens regardless of whether I am on mobile data or WiFi.
Any ideas what may be causing this and how to stop it? I'd like to get my notifications as I receive new WhatsApp messages and emails etc.
Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I can't find the source or any helpful guide to fixing it, but I swear I remember seeing something about how MIUI prevents some notifications from reaching you by default for some reason.
I'm pretty sure there was also ways to get around it as much as possible, but another solution is to flash a custom rom.

Hmm, I did a quick Google and saw something about battery optimization but could only find MIUI optimization.
Will keep looking, hoping the global ROM will fix it though?

For emails, I suggest turning on auto sync. Maybe other notifications will get fixed too. Do note that turning on auto sync will result in more battery usage.

It is and has been on from the beginning. So that's not the cause.
Still experiencing this issue. Had full signal earlier and had a friend try to call me 3 times in WhatsApp and only got the notifications when I opened WhatsApp.

(I'm assuming most of the settings in MIUI 8 are still available in MIUI 10)
MIUI is VERY aggressive when it comes to controlling apps running in the background (when in this phone is completely unnecessary given the massive battery), I would do 2 things to fix these problems:
1) Look in "Battery and Performance" > "Manage Apps battery usage" look for the app you want notifications to work properly select it and select "no restrictions", or you can just turn off power saving mode completely and every app will show notifications properly
2) Look for a setting named " about this phone" or something similar, in the "MIUI version" tap 7 times till you get a message "you are now a developer" .
Go back to settings, select "additional settings" and look for "developer options" , go to the bottom and disable MIUI Optimization.
These two actions should fox notification problems and also RAM management, you apps won't be suddenly closed when running in background.
Quick note: after a few years, when battery starts showing it's age and your phone starts rebooting randomly , turning on MIUI Optimizations might come handy, it will work similar to iOS, slowing the performance a bit and limiting the amount of background processes to lower the battery draw, your phone might run a little worse, but it won't have random restarts.
Again, I currently use MIUI 8, so some names might have little variations, but the steps should be similar.
Hope it helps and sorry for my english

Here's a possible solution.
Open Security App > Manage Apps > Select app
> Enable "Autostart"
> Notifications > Enable "Show notifications" and "App icon badge" > enable the following toggles for all notifications found under NOTIFICATION CATEGORIES > "Show notifications", "Floating notifications", "Lock screen notifications" and "notification light" (also "Sound" and "Vibration" if needed).
> Battery Saver > No restrictions
In order to prevent MIUI from killing specific background apps you need to do this:
> Open each app separately > Go to "Recents" menu to see the apps running in background > long press on each app separately and lock it by tapping the lock icon.
> Reboot the device
Please report back and let me know if this has solved your notifications problem or not.

Thanks guys, I will give the above a try and see if it works and if so which setting(s) fixed. Y issue.
Will report back once I've had a chance to test it all.
