Hey everyone,
As some of you may know, the Honor 8 (and other Huawei devices as well) have an issue with SMS syncing apps such as Pushbullet and MightyText.
After spending hours playing with various settings and testing like crazy, I have come to the following conclusion: There is something running in the background on this device preventing the messages from syncing back to the phone.
When sending a message from Pushbullet from my PC, it is delivered just fine to the recipient, however it shows stuck in pending status, and doesn't show in Textra, stock messaging app, Google Messenger or any other SMS app I've tested, even though it was delivered to the other recipient just fine.
Here's where it gets interesting...I installed Yappy on my PC, along with on the Honor 8, and installed both EvolveSMS and QKSMS. There are settings in both Evolve and QKSMS to enable Yappy integration. When turning this on, Yappy works perfectly. Messages sync properly, everything works great. My guess is that the messages are being routed through Yappy's servers and then synced back into the SMS apps. This is a half baked solution that myself, and I'm sure many others will not feel satisfied with, but it is a working temporary bandage.
The question is - what is causing Huawei devices to be preventing the messages from syncing? Adding it as a protected app doesn't help, and from what I have gathered from my testing, there is no setting that has helped it work. I think there's a possibility of the Huawei messaging process running in the background blocking the sync from happening, which brings up the question, how do we disable that process entirely and remove it?
If anyone has any ideas or further input, please share. Let's work together and axe this issue once and for all. There has to be lots of other Huawei users out there having the same issues!

I am not sure but some thread mentioned that MySms app works fine while others don't. Mean sync is not an issue for that if it is set as default app.
May be that can help someone in troubleshooting the exact problem.

MySms works absolutely fine, don't about pushbullet

This seems to be an issue with all Huawei devices from what I gather. Something within EMUI or their default messaging app seems to be causing the issue. It's definitely a dark cloud hanging over otherwise wonderful devices. Also, MySMS seems to be hit or miss as well. It's definitely a far cry from Pushbullet even if it does work.
Mods: Is there any way we could have this thread moved to a larger Huawei section for better visibility?
I have the same issue with EMUI 4.1 on the Honor Note 8. It seems to be related to EMUI shutting down background apps so the comms between the SMS app and the phone is not completed.
Will it work with a different launcher? or do a have to get a different rom?

A different ROM is the best choice (not available for honor 8) and a launcher wouldn't change anything

Just exchanged an S7 Edge for the Honor 8 yesterday. You're right about MySMS being hit or miss. I had it working the 1st time when I installed it and couldn't replicate it to work again after trying out AirDroid last night. lol I spent a good part of my morning trying to get it to work again and stumbled onto something. So far, it works great if I set MySMS as the default "Messaging" app on my Honor 8 and use it for my SMS/MMS needs. You still need to use the stock messaging app if you want to blacklist folks, though, but only for adding the entries and viewing any blocked messages.
Is there any solution for the original problem?
I'm using MS Cortana for the same purposes and actually I did not recognise this issue untill I read this post and found out I have this problem as wel.

Does the same problem occur if you were to use different SMS app.
Another option could be to try something else, yappy perhaps?
Let us know if you find anything

If I remember correctly, there were at least two or three apps mentioned which were experiencing synchronization problems. Not sure whether yappy was one of them or not.
Ya. I use JIO messenger (JIO Voice) as default app in India. I also do have sync problems in my Honor 5X.
Couldn't find anything in XDA Rules about thread necromancy so I figured I'd reply here instead of making another thread. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Hopefully one that does not involve upgrading to Nougat... Since I'm here, I'll throw up more info:
Sending a picture or a text to multiple people does work fine, the texts will show up. Looks like whatever is going on affects only SMS and not MMS.
I am able to send texts fine from my car's (2014 Honda Accord) bluetooth headset, they show.
Tasker also does not work.
Apparently not. P9 here. Just done a reset assuming it was something I'd installed. Pushbullet and Mightytext both still not working.
EVA-L09C432B378 (EMUI 5.0/Android 7.0)
I just got a P9 and have the same problems as everyone else. I have used mighty text for years without a glitch and now it's not sending my messages written on my computer back to the phone. What a drag. I just got the phone so I will send it back for an exchange. I does prevent other services like pushbullet as well. So bye Huawei.
aaa
Honor 8 here. MySMS works pretty well, only that the Win10 app sucks. Pushbullet and Airdroid don't work. The difference is that MySMS becomes the default messaging app and the others don't. That's all I can contrubute. This sucks. Lost half day today so far, especially with my very limited android knowledge...
Replaced my P9 with Moto. Everything functions as intended. Glad to get rid of the P9. Too many apps won't work.

With a heavy heart i have to keep my SEx1 aside and have entered to Android Ecosystem.
I'm a customized freak & made my X1 ROM super stable with my super minimalistic custom rom's, im still going to use that as my primary portable music gear, but for rest of the things Google Nexus 5 is the new companion.
Kitkat is whole new world for me, used gingerbread a a little bit but both are poles apart. hence need some suggestion to keep myself educated with latest trends and tech. Please ignore my noobe-tagged question. So here i start:
No Lollipop ? ?
As broadcasted nexus devices should be the first one to get Android 5.0, Lollipop.
Im yet to get any update & currently running 4.4.4. Any words on when could i expect Lollipop upgrade in my device.
[I don't want to root/ flash until my device is out of warranty].
Contact Backup & Google sync:
a) When starting the device for first time, it prompted me to use google account credential, i did, and it dumped all thousands of my gmail contact in phonebook. Too bad. i have manually deleted all of them from phonebook. and switched-off auto sync.
b) it refused to sync my contact form X1, which was back uped in outlook under win7. Found an alternative, transfered all my contact via bluetooth to nexus 5 and imported them one-by-one. Again when importing in batches, it gives error, which is kind of helpful for me. I only imported selected contact and not the obsolete 8 yrs old contacts
Now the question: How my Sync my contacts without downloading email-contact from gmail. Another gmail account doesn't seems to be ideal as i use email, calendar, drive from this mail. Please suggest.
Customization:
a) I like to keep my phone at minimals. used mycolorscreen- Themer for few days, which let me customize to what i want till great extent. but its getting corrupt by it own at random times, spoiling my widgets location & functionalities and sometime replacing wallpaper with "black" and have uninstalled it now.
Do we have anything similar to HTC / touchflow full screen animated weather for android? roa any alternative to themer which let me customize N5?
b) Lockscreen customization like changing the background according to themer wallpaper and add few information like battery level, weather, etc. I goggled DashClock please let me know what you guys think about it or any other recommendation.
Few App recommendation
Fitness tracker : currently using Pedometer by j4velin, which is good, but it doesn't give me much control, no difference in distance covered if you running or walking, no actual track of distance covered as it derived from the stride length we enter in the setting. Any recommendation in this please ? should i try Google fit app ?
Pulse Light Controller N5 seriously missing "things" in this department, apart from default white glow of unleaded sms, i never noticed any other indication. they should have provided a notification for low-battery and missed call. Currently using Light Flow but i hate its presence always in my notification area. what's XDA's thoughts in this please? I dont need anything with bells and whistles, just a minimal app which show me red light when my battery is low & some other-then-white-color from unreaded SMS & missed calls.
Vibrate on call connect Got ExDailer but im clueless how to make it the default dialer. Also i liked the stock dialer is there any way to make it vibrate when a call connects, i have to install 3rd party app on my phone
Cache cleaner
as im playing installing, uninstalling lots of stuffs these in these experimenal days what would be a recommended app for this, if its mandatory. have used this bloatware Clean Master in my X10i earlier which killed the phone in multiple ways. any other recommendation please, i just want to clean junk files and do not want any antivirus and gold plating.
Thanks in advance.

OTAs are a rollout. They don't give it to everyone at the same time.
You can sideload the OTA instead of waiting, and you don't have to unlock the bootloader for that.
There is also no point in "keeping warranty" since the only way to tell is if you have bootloader unlocked/or tamper flag is left triggered. Bootloader is easily re-locked and the tamper flag isn't that big of a deal to reset unlike on many other devices (you can do it with apps lol..). There is no other way to tell unless you blatantly have modified software. Of course, if the device was defective to the point where it doesn't boot up, then the bootloader/tamper flag/any sort of software doesn't even matter anyways. Also, if you bought from the Play Store, Google will even let you send it in with a custom ROM and kernel if you wanted to.

Mass delete your obsolete contacts from gmail: https://www.google.com/contacts/ then sync them afterwards.

I don't use fitness trackers so I can't say anything about them. The Nexus 5 has a hardware pedometer rather than using sensors like accelerometer/gps/etc to determine steps, which saves a LOT of battery but obviously can't determine distance.
There are a multilude of LED apps.
Cache cleaners are useless since you can wipe cache in recovery anyways, including stock recovery. If you mean for cleaning in general, I don't use anything myself as I don't find it any necessary, but some others do.

Are far as this is concerned, there really isn't any big thing with the Nexus 5 that would not be applicable to other phones. Just read around the forums to see if anything piques your interest.
Thanks for the reply.
I will wait some more time for official OTA update, in the meantime exploring the device. once i done i will do a factory reset anyways
contact things is easier to manage in Gmail interface, thanks for pointing out. Took hours to clean all the contact, but feel good after housecleaning
I read a few threads here..the following are my queries...
hi all. im a new user of a huawei handset and a bit confused with few things..
1- notification sounds for telegram/whatsapp are inconsistent...sometimes i hear the notifications other times they dont sound off..the other important point is, my messages dont appear until i open the app (or click on it to open)....( there a few threads on this issue here and it seems like the problem has not been solved as i tried some of the offered solutions but didnt work)...
2- in the app drawer mode, how can i get the google voice command widget (ok google) on the screen? the widget disappeared when i went to the app drawer mode and it was not available in the widgets section.
3- there is an app called notepad which is huawei based i assume but its mainly for reminders. is there another app by huawei dedicated for taking notes which synchronizes with outlook??
4- does the app store close when downloading a large file? it happened to me everytime with certain large apps. anyone experienced the same? maybe a bug.
5- a HTC related question as someone may have tried it. is it possible to install the APK for blinkfeed on the mate 9? i tried but didnt work...anyone tried it with any success?
6. the final question i have... how do you get to see message notifications on your lock screen like on HTC phones for example??!! Is a similar function available ala HTC??!!
in general, the phone is very good. it has some nifty gestures which are actually handy and can be great in reducing time needed for doing things like the double knuckle action for screen freeze. also, the split screen and cut. very useful. didnt even know about it until i bought it!!!
as opposed to samsung gimmicks those are useful on the mate 9.
i ordered the Chinese version as i wanted 128gb + 6 gb ram.
thanks and advance.
> 5- a HTC related question as someone may have tried it. is it possible to install the APK for blinkfeed on the mate 9? i tried but didnt work...anyone tried it with any success?
I think theres an HTC launcher floating around. Have you checked apkmirror.com?
For Blinkfeed you'd need HTC Sense's framework. I found this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
Edit: It's post #2
Thanks for the HTC tip. Will try it afterwards
I found a solution to my second query. I deleted and reinstalled google now and somehow both google widgets appeared so its all good now.
However, the two with my highest concerns are queries 1 & 4.
I installed the apk for blinkfeed but the one for the social media were not available from mega!!
How do i actually use the sense/blinkfeed now i installed it??
App Store crash when downloading a large file
This is due to you didn't turn on storage access for google play store.
I don't know why the default permission for storage was off, but apparently if you turn that back on, it will fix the app store crash bug.

Thanks. I forgot to update the above post. I have done that and it was fixed.
Also the OK Google thing seems to be working after tweakings in the permissions etc.
I couldn't get the HTC blink feed to work. It seems like I have it but I don't know where to go to activate it!!
The big problem seems to be the notifications.
I seem to be having a weird issue with my S8+. Whenever I open a Facebook notification, instead of going into the already open Facebook app and refreshing to the Notification point, I get a new Facebook app instance launched (up to 3 at a time).
Also the erratic notifications are not visible in the main app, even if I refresh.
I have only one Facebook account, no third party FB apps. Just the Facebook (not Beta) app and FB Messenger app (and that works OK).
Given that the FB has burned through half my 2GB data allowance this month I'm inclined to blame some of it on the triple instance eating through resources.
I've been reading a lot on how the real FB app is a total battery hog and Data hog due to running background processes. I can't comment on your odd issue when opening FB but suggest you consider an FB alternative. I'm trying out Friendly for FB. It includes Messenger too. Seems to be way less intrusive (running in background) but I can't quote any stats for you. I am seeing better battery life now. I don't look too much at data usage since I have unlimited. Good luck!

It's because the Facebook app sucks. I would suggest turning any auto play/upload options to save data by the way.

One issue was that. Had it off on my Nexus 6P. Then forgot to turn Autoplay off on this one (and thinking that Autoplay was off by default on Cellular. It wasn't).

Yeah that was burning a lot of people when Facebook first enabled it and of course it's on by default in the app when you install it clean.
Same issue!
I'm also a Nexus 6P upgrader, and I'm experiencing the same issue! It's actually the ONLY annoyance I have with the 8+, though I was also quite fond on generic Android, so I'm working to adapt my phone settings to that experience, as much as I can...
I'll be interested to see if there's a solution to this. Currently, I'm just avoiding clicking on the notifications, or remembering to close the extra Facebook app(s) if I do.

I have at times used many alternatives like Friendly, especially with my Nexus 6P which had an awfull battery, but keep going back to FB apps. Seem more featured and polished to me.
Yeah I have this too not seen a fix yet
Same thing happening to me. Are you also getting the Facebook status bar issue where it's going wonky all the time?
I think as a workaround if you just launch FB app and go to notifications within the app you are fine. As you said if you go from a FB notification it seems to open a new FB process which is definitely not good for battery or memory.

Problem is the app doesn't show the (same) notifications I get from SystemUI. So I get different notifications from Android and different from the app. It's like they are fighting each other.
I tried disabling the Samsung preinstalled Facebook packages but the issue remains.
I seem to have resolved the issue.
First a couple of notes.
I've had the phone since May. I got the June and July updates, but issue was not resolved.
I did a full reset and issue persisted.
I did a full reset without any restores from Google or Samsung. Didn't even login to my accounts. Same thing.
So I did a full flash of the latest official ROM using Odin. In the process I used the European unbranded CSC instead of my provider's (CYV Cyta Vodafone).
Problem solved. So apparently it was something to do with that specific branch. Minor market would also explain why I seem to be the only one reporting this.
Hmmmm! I seem to have this problem. Not rooted on a G955W. Anymore clues?
I do have it as well
Same issue on note 8
I seem to have a similar issue where Facebook will have more than one instance running after a while. I can alternate between the two instances running by pushing home and then going back into the app so for instance it will be in a video where I left off and then when I push home it will go to a an instance where I am commenting on a post and then when I push home again and go back it will go back to the video. The only way to temporarily fix it is to force quit the app for me.
First off, I love this phone and reason why I got the Q China version was because it had the 6GB RAM which the 5 pro does not have with a price gap difference. 90% of this phone is perfect, the other 10% I can live with and hopefully they will make these changes in future updates. For you all looking at this Q model in North America, might want consider this before you get the Q version.
1. Using 3rd party messaging apps, this is basic stuff, why would any company lock you from using another sms app other then the stock one, this is only on the Q models I believe. It's like I'm back using and Iphone again lol. If you go the default settings, it will not list any other installed messaging app. I've been using ChompSMS for years and I love it, not I'm stuck using Q's messaging app, which is not bad but no where close to Chomp. Also, if I'm forced to use their messaging app, at the very least make it more customizable, ie. separate contact tones, pop up quick reply window etc. In ColorOS 6, it use to not even allow me to use another launcher but that got changed/fixed in UI 1.0, thank God, now you can use Nova Prime or your own launcher.
2. PC SMS, I work from home and use my PC to text constantly either with PushBullet or MightyText, with this Messaging app constriction, every time use these PC apps, it asks for a TXT message verification on my phone either face id or fingerprint, kind of defeats the purpose of texting on your PC. I wish there was away around this or a setting, I've looked everywhere in the phone settings and set every damn permission, nope.
3. Startup Manager... great idea to reduce battery use, but only limit to 5? come on. At least give us the option to set how many start up limits we want and just give us a warning that the more we use the more power it drains. Again, back to the Iphone days lol.
Other then these, I'm keeping my phone for all the pros, it's fast, screen looks good, these things are just really annoyances that I hope Oppo/RealMe or whoever will fix in the next OS update. I've seen some post of using custom rom on this Q model but also seeing a lot of glitches, I don't think it's worth having this issues for these minor annoyances. I've been using custom roms on other phones and tablets for years now, some with great luck and some I almost end up throwing the device through my window due to custom rom glitches lol.
If anyone finds a solution(s) for these annoyances other then using custom ROMS, please let me know I'll buy you a coffee and donuts lol.

This is the short version lol How are you not able to read all of this?
I just got delivered a new Poco M2 Pro today,
I didn't want any apps to have intrusive permissions, I wanted to be sure to give whatsapp only contacts permission before I registered..
It was still able read the SMS with verification code without any permissions. I even removed the "service sms" permgission before trying.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled to confirm this flaw. Reported to Xiami with little hope...
Can you confirm this on your device, and post details ?
I don't let any apps like that run... just trouble waiting to happen.

Luckily this is a spare phone, I am playing around with.
I want to understand, report and maybe even make some noise about this. So either google or xiaomi fix it, have no hopes from Facebook and associated companies.
Would you have any clue how they bypass the permissions? Are they listening for all notifications and reading them? I am very curious

Luckily this is a spare phone, I am playing around with.
I want to understand, report and maybe even make some noise about this. So either google or xiaomi fix it, have no hopes from Facebook and associated companies.

I won't go near FB, Twitter, Instagram platforms.
I don't let apps like WhatsApp even on the phone.
Pretty much blacklisted all of them.
No idea what WhatsApp is or isn't doing but the potential for abuse is there and there's zero justification for me to allow it to run.
Nothing to gain, everything to lose...
