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)

The "heartbeat interval" in the root -push notification fixer app I have no clue what that is or what happens if you increase or decrease it

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?
MHA-AL00C00B225
EMUI version 5.0
Android version 7.0
Regards
George Nassif

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.

For me, it is slightly different. I get a new email notification immediately after I unlock my device.

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 are hibernated and widgets are not updating itself

After I've updated my phone to oreo, 2 annoying things started to happen:
1., If my phones screen is turned off for longer time, I don't get notifications from apps like Google Calendar, Keep. It's super annoying, because I missed one appointment today just because my phone decided to not notify me.
2., The widgets are not refreshing itself (Dashclock Widget)
I've disabled the battery optimizations for my apps.
Any ideas?

Return to Android 7. I ve done rollback successfully. Oreo for Honor 8 it's like a beta version

You could try this, it worked for me on this app/service . I was having trouble with the Three in touch wifi calling app losing the network/disabling after a while with the screen off.
Go to settings > apps and notifications > apps > then the app you want > battery > launch - then disable manage automatically and make sure the options under that are all enabled, ok that and see if it's worked.
Worth a go.
(You can also do this from settings > battery > launch > then pick the relevant app if the first way doesn't work).

Smartwatch Notifications stopped working

I have a Pebble Time that was working well (under the new Rebble alliance) with my old PocoF1 (running LineageOS)
Since I've moved to the X3 MIUI Global 12.0.2 (QJGEUXM) I think I have received about 2 days of full notifications, and then.. only reminders come through to the watch! no SMS/Whatsapp/email notifications.
I installed a 3rd party Notifications app, that also worked for 1 day and then nothing. (Notification Center for Pebble).
When I go into the app now it says "Notification Service Not Running - you must enable it"
It takes me to the Notification Access, where both Pebble and Notification Center are both ticked.
I've tried unchecking, rechecking. restarting... etc. nothing seems to get the Notification Service working
I've been to power settings and ensured that neither app is being restricted.
What am I missing!?!

ok, open "app info" on app which is not working correctly, check section "permissions", open "app behavior", in log find out which app operation is restricted or denied, then allow required permission, it should help; also allow autostart and disable battery saver (set "no restrictions")
I find very questionable this "new" policy in MIUI12 - "deny everything" from the start (maybe not new but for me it is, this is my first phone with MIUI), around 70% of my application (that worked on Android 10 without any hassle) would not work correctly, unless explicitly allowed autostart, disabled battery saver, plus rechecked/reallowed every needed permission... soo hope this help ... I spend almost 2 days in finding out why on earth my apps wont work anymore correctly (as they did before MIUI)

All permissions allowed, no battery restrictions set.

not for me. Notifications work for approx 24 hours. then I have to remove permissions. Force quit notification app. Restore permissions.. launch app. Then it all works again.
This MIUI is doing something funky and I don't like it

Yup same here.
I get my notifications back if I force close the Fitbit app.

Im having the same issue with mi Fit, yes, mi Fit, an app from xiaomi, I am not receiving nothing in my mi band 5, I checked all the options but nothing worked for me, mi Fit always showing notification access needed, this is so annoying

Have you tried ensuring the auto start toggle is on under app settings for wearos app?

another one with the issue here. amazfit bip

I have a Ticwatch Pro (Wear OS) and had it always disconnected after night.
I created an exception for 'google play services' in DND settings, and since then there were no more disconnects.
If you are using DND-mode, maybe this helps for other watches too.

my fitbit decides to give up during the day, before my DND at 23:00 kicks in.

The Miui Menu is a bit confusing... And ambiguous in german - we have 2 menu entries 'Datenschutz' which would translate to 'privacy'. In the first one we have 'special App Access rights' or something like that. There you find exceptions for DND.
I think you should probably best try the search function - 'exceptions' or 'do not disturb' should show you the way, i suppose.

Tried all of that.
No joy.
Still have to force close the Fitbit app 2 or 3 times a day to get notifications back.
Very annoying
