Investigation MHL-ALOOCOO (only Chinese version) social media notification issue - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi to all users of Mate 9 MHL-AL00C00 (only Chinese version)
I'm starting this thread to investigate the problem with notifications in Chinese version of Mate 9.
As far as I know Europe & International version after B126 update solve the problem but for as, users of Chinese version in Europe etc, the only way to make it work for the moment is to lock those apps that we want notified in recent list.
So if you own a Chinese MHL-ALOOCOO Mate 9 and you want to share your founds & thoughts you can write it here

hi I just received my mate 9 with same version as you, I will let you know if I experience the same problem

not only social media, actually all app except QQ and wechat all other applications have notification problem. phone manager will kill all other apps doesn't matter what kind setting you did.
Better off Chinese version ROM.And online yellow page ..........

There is an option can't remember where in Chinese firmware,it say automatic give permission and restrictions for installed applications,maybe disable this option and remove the application that is not getting notifications and install again.
Maybe think i saw it in phone manager settings.

I confirm that the problem remains. I have the latest update MHA-AL00C00B167 and installed from HiApp the latest version of whatsapp v2.17.60.
I tried all suggestions related to notifications settings, battery optimization, lock screen..., but I receive the notifications only when I open the app. This holds both for WiFi and 4G.
However, my Gmail notifications work properly, so I tried to do some reverse engineering to see what could be the difference. My current finding is that the reason is the phone manager, and specifically the auto-launch/secondary launch management.
Gmail works if you allow both google play services and gmail. However, even if you allow whatsapp, the phone manager apparently ignores it. To verify this, if you restart the phone, you will see that the secondary launch is disabled again for whatsapp, and a record of restricted launch is present in the list you can find in secondary launch management/secondary launch records.
Anyway, I think we have to wait for a new update that will solve this.

Huawei is responsible for that mess up with notifications...
This is the 2nd Mate that screwed up... (1st was mate 8)
It takes about 3 months to get fix it in mate 8 and now again the same issue in Mate 9....ok European & International versions have fixed but what about chinice version.... How many updates we have to wait until they fix it....
Or they sending as straight to debrand to Europe or international version.... That's too annoying!
I will wait until next update... After that I have to debrand....
Come on HUAWEI make as happy & proud!!!

What problems with the non EU version

I'm really interested in this phone but should I wait for the EU version or buy the version they are selling in china
It seems ok frequency wise - https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-dual-sim-td-lte-64gb-nxt-al10/united-kingdom
I've seen people pick international English on a menu and it looked all English - is that correct ? - even the non google stuff
Would I have to worry about anything else ?
Any help most appreciated as I want to replace my one plus one that is starting to feel under powered with the amount of tasker stuff I'm running on it
thanks

You do need to check the frequencies as you have done. The Mate 8 has allot of bands covered.
Android OS on Huawei's phones have about every language available. There is some apps on the phone that is in Chinese, but they can be removed, and are for the china market.
Google Apps will not be preloaded, but you will need to download from the Huawei App Store called HiApp. That HiApp app is in mixed Chinese and English, so not everything is translated. After that you have Google Apps, and can download from Google Play that will follow your OS language.
I have had the Honor 6, Honor 6 Plus, Honor 7 and now Mate S, all the Chinese version and they have all been working fine here in Denmark. I have had no problems with network, GPS or WiFi here or on vacation. .
..oh, the change log for OS updates are (mostly) in Chinese

Thanks for the info. But to be clear. Do you download the google playstore using HiApp?

Yes, you do.
It is quite simple: Open HiApp -> Search "Google" -> Click on the Google banner in the top of the search results -> All Google apps is listed, click the download button for each (downwards arrow).
Other than Google Play, you need the Contact sync and Calander sync apps from the list. The rest can be downloaded from Google Play Store afterwords.
I had no troubles with a P8max recently, most sellers out of China will pre-install Google Play for you. My Mate 8 arrives next Monday, can let you know of if it differs any from the P8Max in terms of language difficulties.
Hi,
I bought a Mate 8.
It come with google playstore installed.
I arrived to install all app I want from google playstore.
The only problem I foun, I can't import my contact list, but will be solve for sure.
Two of us have Google contacts sync working, although neither of us is entirely sure how (I was granting permissions/trusted status/open from other apps statuses etc as a batch, so not sure which of those actions allowed for contacts import sorry).
If your google contact can't not sync.
Do you install the google contact sync? you can find it from the "huawei app store".
Install the google contact sync apk, and remove your account, reboot, login your contact again.
It works fine in my mate8 with google contact.
I can use almost all of google service in mate 8 now. (no matter google play, gmail, hangout, contact or anyother)
But, the only problem is that I can't get the location during google map without GPS enable.
Google map can't use cell or wifi to detect where it is, but it work fine with GPS enable.
I have no idea that how to fix it...
After searching the solution from google, it seems I need to root and replace networklocation.apk....
Is there any other method? (I don't know how to root huawei's device...)
I've recieved my mate 8 a week ago, and have had the issues that most of you are talking about.
Assuming the issue is from the 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,
Just don't forget to update emui

is it fast and smooth? is the cpu very powerful?
Yes - not had any problems at all.
I'm coming from a one plus one with a few badly writtern tasker profiles (quiet at work, and home nights with auto voice and autovera stuff), 3 mail clients including a touchdown exchange one. It was too much for the one plus but my new mate 8 is still flying.
Problems I have/had
The sync thing - was mashmellow permissions and a restart. (You do not need to wipe and restart.
The app draw - not a problem just a concept change the mate 8 doesn't have one your home screens are your app draw. So its a case of being tidy with folders. But swiping up on the home screen gives you an app search.
Dictionary - wish I could figure out how to copy the words I had stored in my dictionary.
Chinese App store - keeps telling me I have 18 apps that need updating - they don't the are just wanting to change to the chinese version.
Battery life - the one plus would last a day and 1/2 if I forgot to charge it the 1/2 I would start not usjng it, mate 8 will nearly last 2 days (it also gives me stats in ma about what is eating the battery)
Overall its a great phone
M
I've received my mate 8 one week ago... And unfortunately I had a rare problem with my notifications (whatsapp, viber, and other apps).
I did trust those apps from the system, and followed the instructions from the huawei guide, but the problem still.
So anybody have any idea how to solve this problem.
Thanks
Hi, i want to buy a Mate 8 but I'm not sure for the sync problem for google. what type of problem you have?
it is a great phone but unfortuantely I have the same problem with the google sync as well as not getting any notifications. Please help!
didnt someone mention that putting the phone into performance mode solved this?
Tried it hasn't worked for me
Location Services are not working unless you activate GPS - AL10 model;
Any solutions?
yeah, several other users already reported that energy-saving location services somehow dont seem to work...unless u switch to high-performance mode @gps
Hey guys, I am trying to login to Huawei services and I always get the message "due to service location restrictions the system is unable to provide services to you".
Does anyone knows how to bypass that?

[Q] AL-00 Chinese model [GMS & Latest firmware]

Ok... It might be repetitive, I come from the LG / Sammy world, so I am new to the Huawei universe...
I've been reading through a lot of threads, like a lot hahaha, I just want to get one last confirmation before I order it (still not sure if I'm gonna get the L29 or L00, although the 6gb/128 is really interesting to me) .
I know people like @duraaraa are working hard to get us something rolling! And thanks for that! I know some other devs (from other phones) are wanting to jump into this pool, so this could become and interesting devs device in the very close future.
But I have some questions, or more like confirmations to ask:
Huawei now really "unofficially" released the GMS for the Chinese / Hong-Kong version of the m9 (4gb/32, 4gb/64, 6gb/128 and 6gb/256). For the users on the AL00, can you please confirm the following :
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
- if you do have issues, please tell me
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
Yes. No Chinese writing except in Chinese apps.
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
I don't have nova launcher, but swiftkey works. Everything is installable.
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
Yes.
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
Yes.
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
Yes, but without unlocking the bootloader you will only be able to install updates that Huawei wants you to install. Ergo, no betas.
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
How would I know? I only have 6GB version. It probably only matters if you use all the RAM.
- if you do have issues, please tell me
Screen touch responsiveness is not as good as other phones. Huawei has been adjusting it a lot from build to build. Hopefully they get it right soon.
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
With an unlocked bootloader, development will be the same for both. With locked bootloader, you currently have more options with AL00, because that's what I have so that's what I'm working with, and because Huawei has several versions of firmware which can be flashed to AL00, but only one which can be flashed to L29 at the moment. I think Huawei focuses mainly on China, so support of the Chinese phone will be better.
Well, thanks for that quick reply!
Can confirm all Duraaraa said. I got mine, had B109 with working g Google services and I uninstalled all the Google stuff, did OTA to B125. Then it offered B135 OTA so did that. After reboot I stalled GMS and Play store and all good. Had to install Google contacts from APK mirror, and had to go to permission manager and allow Google app as trusted and auto start to get OK Google functionality working but all good now.
Only issue I am having is a few apps won't install. For instance, the CBS watch TV app ... click on install from store and it starts download and the before it finishes store just closes. A couple games do this as well. Working on figuring it out.

@SWBgHz hi, I think to solve your issue with CBS watch TV app go to the play store app permission and make sure Storage have that permission on.
I got mine last Friday nice phone, software is really bad.
After i got everything working on mine. now play store will not work ...keep downloading. i did try everything and still not working.
I have few apps needs update , it is just downloading
I can not get notification from any app
it seems that i will have to factory reset.
I think you guys should download HI suit for back up and restore .
waiting for a better Rom.
Edit: Play store start behave normal again and its working fine.
still can not see notification from my major apps like gmail...etc
I had already tried adding additional permissions as well as setting Play store as trusted app but no joy. Just a few apps do same as CBS on, store closes during download phase.

Sure enough, storage wasn't allowed. Odd thing is I checked that and allowed all manually, or thought I did.

Make sure that Play Store has Storage permissions. That should fix your problem.
Edit: Oops, late reply
Abject lesson in checking things twice. I swear I did add permissions but such is life. Doh!

P40 PRO with GMS notifications issues

Hi everyone.
I'm writing this for everyone having problems with notification from some apps.
Right now I not receive notification from:
1. Twitter - not at all. And I can't go into setting for Push notifications
2. Gmail - that's funny. I receive one notification a day around 8-9PM.
3. Youtube - no notifications
4. LinkedIn - no notfications
And some specific apps for my country like: Inpost and OLX.
Share what's your experience with that. Maybe we will find solution.

I am the same. Only WhatsApp gets notifications. All others don't work
I installed GMS just out of curiosity and had the same issue. It seems like one of the Core functionalities of GMS is still incompatible/not working (Firebase). You'd expect WhatsApp to always work as it uses a separate Push service protocol.
Yeah, Gmail definitely does not work. =/
I have a hunch this is all tied to using such an old version of google account manager. (v4 is only version that still works)
This problem is because you are not registered in push notification by gms. Youbhave to choose GMS or push notification for this moment.
Seems like some have got it working, see here: https://mightygadget.co.uk/how-to-install-google-play-storeon-the-huawei-p40-pro-without-notification-errors/

I wrote that. It was to disable the notification nags you get when you get GMS working - it is not in relation to receiving notifications from apps. I will look into this today though.

Nice work it was a good guide so thanks . GMS currently running on my P40 pro at the moment no major issues. I did get an error this morning regarding google account services but its gone away and not come back. I also got the autocomplete working on apps just by changing the autofill settings to google and all seems to be working fine (most probably already know this but it may be helpful to some). Only issue i have run into is Netflix is not working with the latest Software update (incompatible device) but I'm sure they will update it soon.

I have only done it via USB, but it shouldn't make any difference at all, as long as you get LZ Play and the APKs on the phone it should work fine.

Play store didn't have Netflix for me, I had to install that via APK Pure, but it works fine for me from there, it will only work in SD though.
I have had the occasional random notification that google can't log in my account, but then it carries on working as normal.

Hey mate, thank you for your work. Just a quick question, do you think Huawei can/will patch these methods in the future? I know they don't allow bootloader unlocking, but they could at least continue to allow people to sideload GMS on their phones. I already ordered a P40 Pro though so it's kinda too late now, but I'm just wondering what people think.

Good question, but there is no way of knowing for sure. I am sure it is possible this method may stop working in the future, but I doubt Huawei would be the ones to prevent it. The general consensus is that neither Huawei or Google wants to be in this situation, Google obviously earns a lot of money from people using their services and Huawei is likely losing a lot of users by not having Google on their phones. The issue will be if Google has political pressure applied to them to stop these workarounds. I don't imagine it is that hard to blacklist devices, or maybe anything running a specific chipset.

Well let's hope they keep it working like this indeed .
Another question @MightyGadget, what do you think of the security implications using this method, considering the modded apps that are being used etc.? Is it safe to use as a daily driver with all kinds of personal stuff on it?

Well, aside from installing some apps that might be stealing your credit card details and username/passwords for other apps there is nothing else really ...
I was too tempted to buy the P40 pro after previously owning the P30 pro, but the lack of google services made me change my mind. It's a brilliant phone, sadly.

if you really thinking about seucirty or privacy you wont be using google at all that just doesnt mix. im sure google knows more about you than your parents at the moment.
2nd are you not using 2fa for your bank or your accounts? im sure even somebody tries to login your account with 2fa enabled they have like 0.1% they can access it and make payments for you.
Well, I'm not refering to google, because yes, they know more about me than myself, but when you install the chinese google play services you really don't know what else you are installing. A keylogger would be a fine alternative to steal all your data ... Just a thought.

It is safe to update a phone that already have gms installed?

should i update my p40 pro that already have gms installed? or will i lose gms?

I've updated mine to .158 and nothing has been lost. I'm not sure, however, if upgrading to EMUI 11 will have an impact yet.
Ah, that's good news! I thought I read somewhere that contact sync stopped working on .158, but this is not the case for you?
Emui 11 maybe a problem , have to wait on reports about the beta and loss of gms.
its available to some Euro countries and China.
I'm on .154 and contact sync works, but I can't create a new contact on Google from the phone... Google account is not recognized from the contact app. Not sure if it ever worked on previous versions
Hi. I'm on version .158 on ELS-N04 and Google Contacts Sync is working great. I've created a contact from the phone app and from the Google Contacts app, and both have synced great appearing on Google Contacts on the webpage.

I'm on .154 and contact sync works, but I can't create a new contact on Google from the phone... Google account is not recognized from the contact app. Not sure if it ever worked on previous versions

Update:
Actually not sure if the issue was due to Emui version, but I did have issues with contact sync on .154, it's now solved!! :cyclops:
But follow this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p40-pro/help/google-contacts-calendar-syncing-t4148967
Even though I don't have .158 available, I think contact sync and emui version is not directly linked you can go ahead

I've updated mine to .158 and nothing has been lost. I'm not sure, however, if upgrading to EMUI 11 will have an impact yet.

What he said . I'm looking a the emui 11 update and wondering ....
I upgraded to 11 beta on my Chinese model an10 via erecovery and the gms stays good.
Pre-May 2019 Huawei and Honor telephones will keep on getting security updates and current gadgets that due to get Android 10 will in any case get it. Huawei workstations will get all the Windows refreshes in the customary way. However, recently delivered Huawei telephones can't utilize Google administrations and this is set to be a drawn out issue

Huawei P40 Pro Barclays (UK)

Hi All,
I have gotten a p40 pro a few days ago (EMUI 11), and need the Barclays app functioning for their code generator. I can't install the app through APKs, I get the shared directory error. I found a thread containing a fix in this forum, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my device (I think it's because I'm on EMUI 11 which is more recent, URL of the fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/shared-directory-error-fix.4048319/ )
Also tried Gspace and dualspace, no luck there either. Did anyone manage to get Barclays working on their p40 pro?
Sorry can't really comment on the barclays app specifically but I manage to get the natwest one running via dualspace. What I find tho is It will stop working if I load to many apps into dual space, so I basically use dual space for only a couple of apps. That seems to give me more days usage before it eventually all stops and I have to reinstall dualspace and apps. Also find with dualspace and natwest app will never install straight away need to leave it pending download for couple of days before eventuality installs Where as say hangouts will always install each time straight away.

Yeah I tried to do it but got frustrated by the huge files I had to deal with (super bad connection where I'm at). I'll give it a go once I move in the next weeks. Did this work for you? This video has a great like/dislike ratio so I'm thinking of following it:

This is the best video for Installation. Download it and watch it at the same time you are installing.
If it fails then use the broom icon and to clean up then Start again this time you don't need to Install backup so start Video after the backup and try again. Then use
Don't freeze Google Frame. With these 2 videos you should have everything working
here is fix for Notification
You can check that your notification are working or not by installing Push Notification tester

So you use it for Barclays banking? It says it's a virtual machine, I'm wondering if this is secure or if your info is getting collected
Hi,
okay, I have to wait now until I get my Barclay card.
So far I have only installed the app.
When I start the app, it remains
it stops immediately in the first screen.
When I launch the app in vmos, the app runs right through to the login screen.
So I suspect that the app would continue to work.
I can only check this next week when I receive my login data from barclay.
I will report it then.
So long I ask for patience.
Sorry if I should have awakened false hopes.

in the case of lidl plus app,
here i saw today that there was an update of this app in the aurora store.
after this update now lidl plus app works normally on my phone. without vmos.
now i am only missing the satellite app.
This only works with vmos, dual space and gspace.

Hey, I believe Lidl Plus is offered on the AppGallery (pretty sure I saw it, though I don't use it as I don't have a Lidl nearby).
Barclays mail support is frustrating tbh, I mailed them to ask when they're planning to support HMS devices, they asked me to send photos of the error I get when I try to install, I did that and then they ghosted me...
Yes, Lidl app does, but not Lidl Plus app.
Your problem with the Barclay app may be different from mine.
I have a P40 lite 5G and have EMUI 10.
For me, the app starts and stops at the first screen.
with vmos the app goes to the login screen.
as you describe it, the app does not start at all on your phone.
so I suspect you have a completely different reason for the not working.
the way you write, you can't even install the barclay app on your phone.
that was no problem for me.
I installed the barclay app from the aurora store.
please try this out.
if that doesn't work, then your problem is different from mine.
I have the barclaycard app working on my phone... It got loaded via phone clone off My p20 pro if that helps...

1.91.1 to be clear this is the barclaycard app.
But if you have a phone you can clone from that might work... I know I had problems with the NatWest app until push messaging was working after gms install...
