Kind of at wit's end with the notification issues

I bought this device knowing there would be potential notification issues, but I had seen mixed reports that the L29 model may not suffer from them. It took about a day, but they finally started showing up. My main issue is email. I have tried stock Gmail, Bluemail and Typemail (same app, basically). After the screen has been off for about 5 minutes, I stop getting notifications for email.
I have seen people blame this on doze, but my Nexus 6p isn't nearly this bad, at least not until it has been sitting for hours. I have tried everything to resolve this including:
Whitelist in battery manager
Whitelist in Doze settings
Notifications set to priority
Rooting and making Bluemail a system app (which I can't quite get to work for some reason)
Editing the doze settings with the doze setting editor app found on here
Running in Performance mode
Updating to B162
Disabling Phone Manager with Titanium Backup
Even all of these things in combination are not working. Nothing works. Since other Huawei devices have this issue, it doesn't seem like Huawei is planning to fix it. I know people want to blame Doze, but neither my Moto X Pure or Nexus 6P are this bad, both of which are running Marshmallow. Something else is going on with the ROM. Short of getting an actual Cyanogenmod port, I don't know that we'll ever see this resolved.
It's frustrating, too, because I like everything else about this phone, but this is a pretty big deal. A Smartphone that doesn't get notifications reliably is pretty useless.

I have the exact same issue as you, and have tried everything that you have tried as well.
Can't get it to work. It's like saying goodbye to a girl you really really love...
Please fix this somehow... anyone...?

Oh look, another thread about notification issues. This one should help. Has any of you made sure that mobile data stays on after screen goes off?

All settings are on, mobiledata during screen off, wifi always enabled etc.
It is not about receiving notification, it's about receiving them instant the same second as they are received.
We don't want to receive delayed 5-10mins notifications.
This happen both on mobiledata and on wifi as well.

Oh I can assure you that is a feature belonging to Android 6 called doze function. The phones who are updated to MM mostly received a not fully functioning version of Android 6.0. So you can not compare them.

What? So you're saying that the Nexus 6p has a "not fully functioning version of Android 6.0"? Go home, you're drunk. That phone does not have this issue, not to this extent.
It's not doze. I have manually edited the doze settings and the issue persists.

try disabling gmail, install outlook and protect it in the battery settings. then go into notifications and make sure it pops up how you want it to.

When i changed my locckscreen I started getting notifications regularly. Try a third party lockscreen app.

I wasn't even using gmail at first. I was using Bluemail (which is actually better than Outlook on Android) and I had the same issue. If it were that easy, I'd already be using a different email app.

I'm not drunk, I know this for sure. My LG G4 is also updated to 6.0 and now I also own a Huawei mate 8 and therefore I can tell the difference, it's huge. And about your nexus 6p I'm not sure, in any case I was talking about the updated phones.

My Moto X Pure is updated to 6.0 and has absolutely no delay with notifications, nor does my 6P, so there's a flaw in your logic.
This goes far beyond doze. This is something specific to the Huawei ROM and since previous Huawei phones (Mate 7, P8) had this exact issue on older versions of Android, it's pretty obvious that the problem lies with them and not doze.

Before I bricked my device I tested the hell out of this and found the issue.
Doze implementation is broken in the Mate 8.
The phone is supposed to wake up and check for notifications and it doesn't.
Turning off doze fixes all the issues on the Mate 8, at the cost of whatever benefit Doze would have offered.

It's certainly possible that it's broken for this device specifically. Fine, I'll bite. How do you disable doze with tasker? I thought I saw a tutorial on here before, but haven't been able to find it.

Run this command as root with Tasker.

Or, even without root, use adb and run

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Losing doze would suck, but this device is unusable for me without timely notifications.

It worked for me to get notifications, but yes, I really wish Huawei would have fixed it.
Maybe in an upcoming version it will be fixed.

I am interesting to see if S7 will also have this problem.

Can you tell us non rooted people how to do this? I have dev options available but don't know how to do the rest.

If you are not rooted, you will need to plug into your computer and run the ADB command mentioned before EVERY TIME YOU BOOT UP THE DEVICE (sadly)
The command is:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

Gmail Push Notifications Bug in Deep Sleep on Android 6.0 B211

After updating to B211 I notice, that push notifications for Gmail is not working in sleep (screen off, 3-5 minutes after lock)! Perfectly work when screen is on or in charge mode!
I've tried a lot of power management options, add Gmail to all-time-worked soft! No result, unlocking phone shows me new Gmail messages! Whatsapp and Viber perfectly function on new Android.
What's up? Will root help to solve the problem?

same problem here!

+1
Gmail sometimes work during the sleep, but most of the time it sounds when I unlock the phone. Viber also has some timeouts during the sleep, but not as frequently as Gmail.
I have tried all combinations of settings in the Phone Manager.
Must say that B211 gets much more responsive and stable one week after installation. Notifications delay and some quirks with network lags are all the issues I have at the moment.

Since 2 weeks i use this app and give this app an script with this content and now have 100% working notification and i must not disable the huawei phone-manager.
This solution is okay for me, when anyone have a better idea for this script (when the phone boot up), please post!

notification fix

OK guys I hope this hasn't already been covered but here goes anyway. I have found this fix for notifications not arriving when doze is enabled. Iff you go into the particular app e.g what's app then into data usage you must select the following settings see pic below. then all the notifications will arrive straight away regardless of doze state.

Yes that seems to be the problem. I had made a post months ago. It's very hidden feature by Lenovo and I think it's wrong to pre-restrict all background data. User should decide what to do.

I think they lenovo did it to block unnecessary data usage but i agree it is not needed and people are thinking their is something wrong with their phones.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks Sam, I saw this on the JJ review of Nougat. Is this for Nougat as my MM P2 settings don't look like the screenshot.
Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk

Hi yes it is for Nougat the comment posted on JJs review regarding this fix was posted by me also.

Confusing settings these as the first one makes it look like enabling the "Restrict background data" option will disable background data, when in fact it does the opposite. You need to have both of these options enabled so the sliders are green, then you need to open Settings > Power Manager > Battery Optimization
Then you need to search for the apps that you need to fix notifications and change the option so it says "Don't optimize". Then the phone won't 'helpfully' close the app when the phone has been unused for a long time. This is why notifications are stopping.

precisely i agree quite confusing it took me a while i had to get a friend to send me whats app messages continuously untill i figured all this out but im glad i finally did.

If you make the changes to fix the notifications, shut down and power the phone back on rather than do a reboot. The settings don't seem to work until the phone has properly rebooted.

Is it worth noting that elsewhere it's stated that turning off doze altogether (using ADB) might be a saner option? Consensus seems to indicate it's basically a curse with little value, and that would certainly hold water in light of the battery capacity of the P2.

JasonMR, Nov 2, 2016 :
Guys, to avoid having to run the ADB command after each reboot follow these instructions (please note, the files should be downloaded to a PC and then transferred to your phone via USB otherwise they mess up sometimes):
You need to enable USB debugging mode in Developer options first
Download and install this apk and transfer it to your phones storage - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxD...w?usp=drivesdk
Then connect phone to PC and allow the drivers to install
Download and install ADB here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0M...ljU2NPR0k/view
Go into the ADB folder, hold shift, right click and select "Open command prompt here"
Type the command: adb devices (now hit enter)
It should return your phones serial number is connected correctly
Run this command in ADB: adb -d shell pm grant com.adamioan.scriptrunner android.permission.DUMP (now hit enter)
Download this file and transfer it to your phones storage - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx...VA4YmxGTS1OX3c
Open the SH Script runner app and tap the three dots in the top right corner, select "Load" and locate the file from teh previous step
Click the Circle button with the play sign at the top of the screen
You should see the message "Idle mode disabled" which means that Doze has now been disabled.
Whenever you reboot your phone, open the SH Script runner and the command will still be there, just click the play button to run the script again.
And that is it, two clicks to disable Doze after each reboot.
Full credit to manototh for putting this together originally.

Doze does not need disabling iff you follow my advice in the initial post i have tried and tested this and can confirm it works fully.

This is really frustrating. No matter what settings I use I still don't get notifications after a while. I don't want to go modifying my phone, can someone post a step by step if they have it working properly?

Follow my ordinal post and also go into battery optimisation and disable optimization for things like sms eggs what's app Facebook etc all the things you need notifications for should be disabled from sleep mode under battery optimization.

Yep doesn't work either.

Perhaps your only option left is to try the disable doze app which has worked for many people but it's a paid app.

Just to update it does seem to be working properly now. I'm not 100% sure but I think turning the phone all the way off and on again instead of rebooting with the settings correct had the desired effect.

Push notifications

The phone stopped getting push notifications until after the app is opened (groupme). Any way to fix that?

No one else had experienced this? It's really bad. No notifications from group messaging apps

Go to settings, battery, battery optimization and ensure your concerned app is showing you "don't optimize".
Try this and lemme know

I did that already. I searched and saw that that was supposed to be the solution.....but not working for me

In the same settings there is an advanced optimise (top right ... Button)
Make sure that's not ON

this device faces network drops, often not recognized if an app wouldn't show an alert like FB messenger.
these drops are mostly responsible for missed pus messages because the device is not ready at the moment the push happens and it will not be repeated every few seconds (delay)
even worse if one is using several devices, of which one is i.e. at home and the other on the road. while a the working device will receive the push notification the OP6 would not ( you can check for network drops where it shows the IP number, it happens on wifi as well as data and both wifi frequencies BTW.)
so in the last case the message will never arrive because it's delivered, (to the working device at home) and hence no more push attempt will happen until next message arrives.
i and others posted this in OP support, as mentioned above, open you network settings and watch the IP number, it will disappar and re-appear.
also you can use FB messenger where you will frequently see an orange bar saying "connectin" intermittently with a green bar saying "connected"
of course i dunno if that happens on EVERY device but at least it happens on MANY including mine.
since i'm always having 2 phones on man i'm receiving all mails and messages on at least on of the two which also illustrates quite well how often a push will reach one of my various other devices but miss the OP6.
Go to OP support and report the issue if you face it, that way they get aware of the full scale of the issue.

Yep, notifications are patchy for me. Sometimes they arrive on time, other times they arrive but silently without triggering the alert sound. Other times they only arrive after waking the phone up.
And yes, I've set to not optimise these apps and turned off advanced optimisation. It's a bug I reckon, hopefully fixed in 5.1.6

Well, somehow it's working...for now. I did a few things. I updated the Groupme app. I think I changed the notifications from urgent to high. Something worked

Yeah I've mine set to urgent also, but no real difference. Simple things at this stage for a company like Oneplus, that should not be an issue

I've been having the same issue. Some apps work fine and some don't give me notifications until I actually open the app and refresh it. One is Power Facebook and the other is my visual voicemail app. It's highly annoying as I use the phone for business too. Disabling then in battery optimizations does nothing.

If you have advanced optimization turned on in Battery settings, it will prevent a lot of apps that need to do things in the background from working. It will definitely affect push notifications. I have it on but I've exempted a bunch of apps I want running.
Oops, n/m, see this was discussed already.

I'm not sure if it was switching the notification from urgent to high that did it but it was the last thing I did before it started working....it did go back to urgent by itself afterwards though...notifications still working now

..guys any other facing this issue? Even after update to pie stable recently.. I get this problem, notifications arrive to every other device except op6. When i unlock the phone only then notification arrives...all battery optimizations are off..
any solutions?

I got the same issue with Threema. None of the mentioned settings worked for me.
Any ideas?

Same problem for me. Super annoying. Is this an oxygen os or android problem? Would installing a custom ROM help?

It's the DOZE feature in android that is causing the delay in receiving notifications. Setting an app to "Don't Optimize" does not help; this used to work on nougat when I was using HTC U11 but this does not work in Oneplus 6 PIE.
Run the command below in ADB to completely disable DOZE.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The down side is that it will reset to "enable" after reboot so you will need to run the command, again, after rebooting. To get around this, I use Automagic to execute command "dumpsys deviceidle disable" after reboot. You can use Tasker for this, too.
After disabling DOZE, push notifications are received almost immediately. I often see notification for the same message on both my PC and phone.

How do I stop update notices?

I'm rooted with Android 10 on my pixel4a. I don't want to upgrade to 11 just yet, but I keep getting the annoying update notices. Is there an app or module I can freeze with titanium to turn off the notices?

Because i reported it

I posted a similar question in the correct forum with no replies. The Notification Off app in the Play Store hasn't been updated since 2015.
And anyway, not a normal notification...the full screen one that appears overnight every night. There should be a process that can be blocked or turned off on a rooted phone(?), but I can't find it.

Same question. I don't need a daily reminder that my OS is is out of date.

Testing the below on a Marlin with Android 9 & TRWP backup before I actually try on Sunfish with Android 10.
1. Usb debugging on
2. Computer with adb drivers

Thanks for the tip on the process to look for. I froze it using Titanium Backup and I'll see if that solves it.
EDIT: Freezing that app process does nothing. I froze it and then got another full screen notification a few hours later.

After some trial and error, I think the correct process is Dynamic System Update. I froze that process but I'm still receiving notifications.
I then found that even though the process is disabled in TiBackup, it still has notifications turned on.
Go to Settings/Apps & Notifications
Select see all apps
Top right 3-dots/select show system
Scroll down to Dynamic System Update.
The notification can't be turned off.
I cleared storage and cache for it and restricted battery use.

Could be a Titanium issue..........................no ill effects on the Pixel XL so I removed file with ADB command of pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm on the Pixel 4A..............no update notices overnight..............will report back in a few days to confirm.
Edit: 24 hours I get notice for update............

logcat-entry for that popup seems to be
Code:

But if it causes some other problems can that be reversed, and if so how?
I originally had hoped for a Tinatiaum freeze solution so that I could easily reverese it if there any problems, but it doesn't seem that anyone has yet found a program that can be frozen that will eliminate the popups.
I'm beginning to suspect that a lot of Apple OS programers have infiltrated Android and are turing Android into Apple little by little, until one day we'll wake up and find that every one has to ask Steve Job's estate for permission to use their phone.

"pm uninstall -kb -user 0 ..." is not permanent (simply 'disables' the executable) and can be easily reversed. A bit of googling will surface procedures.
Enforcing updates and associated reminders is good security hygiene. No evil intent IMHO.

I'm fine with security updates, but unfortunately, the updates always seem to break something that once worked, so I want to wait until the items that weren't supposed to be broken by new security are fixed, And the "evil" part comes from programmers making aesthetic changes for no reason other than someone thinks "this would be nicer if..."

I too wish to block auto-updates...and I have a few questions for you...
1) This thread seem to indicate that you need to disable the package " pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog " using ADB and that this package is not visible in TiBa, so did you use ADB, and if not, what did you freeze in TiBa?
2) You also said "(wrong setting in developer options)" - what did you mean by this? I'm asking because I turned that option off in developer settings and I was hoping that would stop the auto-updates.
