Hello,
I recently bought a Huawei Mate 8 phone and I am in principle very happy with it. There is however this calendar bug which, as a business user, drives me crazy:
My phone is synchronized with my professional Google Apps account and all synchronizaton works fine in principle. However, from time to time it just randomly cancels appointments and the invitees receive proper cancellation messages. At the time of the cancellation not other computer or phone was accessing the Google Calender and sometimes the calendar app on the Huawei phone was not even open!! Google Apps support clearly could identify the Huawei device issuing the cancellation.
Huawei support is not really very responsive so far, so I was hoping that some of you already made the same experience and even better could fix it
Thanks a lot

Hello,
after trying out the Galaxy S for some days now with the stock F3 firmware, I have one question/annoyance regarding the use in the car paired via rSAP.
It seems, that the Audi MMI 3G can synch only with the Telephone and SIM contacts of the Galaxy S. The contacts imported from Exchange or Google are not accessible from the car. The xdandroid I tried on my Raphael earlier did not have this behavior regarding the import of the phonebook to the car. There all contacts were imported after the phone had received them from the Exchange server.
Is there a workaround or possible other application, that solves this quirk? I have tried some other apps like TouchDown, but this did not make contacts other than those stored in Telephone or SIM visible to the car kit.
Having to manually Import the contacts to the phone as a static adressbook (export in outlook and import from sd) is not really what I would like to do, not even as a last resort. Maybe there is a way to map exchange or google synched contacts to the phone contact list or otherwise solve this issue.
Other than that, I am mighty impressed with this phone and the android system.
It would be great if someone could help.
Thanks, Chris
whoaw... major bug if true... this is standard bluetooth protocol build in Android.
It works with my Magic & my MMI.
Normally it takes a while (a minute or so) to send all contact/received/missed/dialed info over to your MMI.
What do you mean with "telephone contacts", doesn't that include the Google contacts after Google Sync?
Can you pair without problem? What firmware do you have? Tried with latest?

How did you get your SGS to work with rSAP? My understanding was that Android didn’t support this protocol. I’ve tried for some time to get it to work with a VW car, it will pair but won’t connect.

I wouldn't call it major bug.. annoyance at best, ill thought out, perhaps, but given that Samsung added a proprietary rSAP protocol to their android "flagship" shows, they generally know what they are doing.
To clear up any confusion regarding phone, SIM and accounts contact entries:
The phone can naturally sync with exchange, or similar, servers as well as the google account and will add those into the contacts application. If you go to optins in there, you see, that you can switch on/off the visibility of those as well as telephone and sim called entries. Thus the problem with these sourced of synched into the phone contacts being somewhat handled separately by the samsung (touchWiz?) contacts application.
The Audi MMI synches just fine and will pair both hands free and rSAP mode without problems. The permission to access the phone's contacts is asked and if given, the contacts are synched.
The problem is, that only the contacts named SIM and Telephone get to be imported to the MMI. Others - here, the ones coming from the phones earlier synch with either google or exchange are omitted. They are availeable in the contacts app from samsung, but they are somehow treated separately according to their source and not "spliced" together...
The idea is great, being able to switch on/off visibility of certain contacts according to their source, I just whished I had some more control over the process.
Touch Down, for instance, offered to copy the contacts imported over the air from exchange, to "telephone" - only in Touch Down "telephone" really means google, which does not help, because the contacts would have to be copied into Samsungs understanding of Telephone as storage location/type.
The contacts app on the 2.1 build from June of xdandroid did not handle the contacts separately regarding their import source into the phone. More nicely, also the categories given to contacts were properly imported into the phone there. Not so in the SGS contacts imported over the air from Exchange 2003.
If now, someone could find a way to make any contact set to be visible on the phone itself being somehow "replicated" in the telephone part of the contacts on SGS, the MMI would see them and synch them. Contacts added on the SGS and stored as "Telephone" (Phone, probably in English) when saving, get imported to the MMI. That was the starting point of my workarounnd thinking.
So in short, the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 has full rSAP and Bluetooth 3 and does pair with car kits and hands free units admirably. Contacts are synched between car components and phone as long as they are either labeled phone or sim according to the SGS contacts app logic.
Ideas, anyone?
Cheers, Chris

rSAP - Samsung proprietarily includes it - I was surprised myself when it offered this while pairing.
When pairing, did you check "always grant permission" on the Galaxy S? In my case, if not doing this, pairing and connecting would not go through at all. On another forum in German, someone with a recent VW system has it paired alright. I don't know the specifics so I wont make any guesses, but the flawlessness of the process in my case made me believe, that it should work with no problems generally...
MB NTG1 comand
I have a NTG1 Comand in my Mercedes, and the rSAP conection works like charme, with the SGS(2.2.1 jpy).
Only thing that not works is the PBAP so only my sim card contacs r listed!
edit: Now i saved all Google contacts to SD card and after save all V-cards
to the internal phonebook, so all contacts are on Google and on the SGS now.
Tomorrow i try to sync them with the MB comand again.
Mike
Just be glad you don't have an MY09 BMW with iDrive - Galaxy S and car do not play nicely at all lol, sometimes they pair sometimes they don't lol
anyone has a solution for this problem?
Hi,
In my understanding VW & similar premium systems won't synch any contact that has an email address. That automatically excludes google and exchange contacts. I synch my SGS to Outlook, and I'm looking for a way to synch only the phone numbers, no emails. Will keep you posted on my progress.
Cheers

havo you finally foud a way to sync exchange contacts ?
Hi,
this is a strange question and a bizzare event thats occuring but i am hoping someone will be able to clear this up for me.
Basically i have had troubles with battery life on my windows 7 phone, its a samsung omnia on the orange network in the uk. This has ONLY been an issue since i upgraded to the Mango update last wednesday.
What i am finding is that my emails are syncing every 30mins or so despite being set to manual update only. I added 3 email accounts to my phone each via the windows live account addition option, i set them to each manually update only and only sync email not contacts/meetings etc... the mad thing is the main acount that is used under my people contact and the main hotmail/live account that is in use with the phone itself seems to stick at only updating when i tell it to sync (i have to click the refresh style sync button within the email screen) however the other two accounts after about 12hours start to go haywire and whilst they start out by syncing manual as soon as i have synced them manually once, after this they just update whenever they want too (every 30mins it appears)... i have tried a reset of the phone and starting from scratch but again eventually this flaw just keeps occuring! over and over, no matter how many resets i do
Its a real pain to be honest, when i first updated to mango i did link all the accounts together as there is an option to band all your accounts into the single hotmail livetile on the homescreen, i changed this option and decided against it, trouble is i cant remember if this issue happened then, im still pretty sure it did, its almost like the other two accounts have a mind of their own, is there any explanation as to what this could possible be?
I have tried to a rollback of my current firmware but it ended up bricking my phone so now it has gone in for a repair under warrenty to samsung, maybe it could have been a dodgy install of mango from day one? as my friend updated and he has the same phone yet hasnt experienced this email flaw, but then again he only has two accounts on his phone
Could it be the manual option no longer works in mango update?
many thanks for reading and hope someone can help, many thanks
Hi guys,
Just as the title: One of the users in the office has a Xiaomi Red Rice (or Hongmi). He has an exchange mailbox..rather busy, receiving hundreds of emails every day. This seems to drive the XIaomi crazy. Randomly (but VERY oftenly), it will start redownloading all the inbox. When it gets close to finish updating...it empties the inbox and starts again. I deleted the email data, the corporate account, re-added it. I thought it would be an OS issue. I upgraded the OS to the latest official, MIUI-HHBHKBD16.0 (via the System Updates menu), and this new version still has the issue.
What can I do? I'm getting a bit desperate.
EDIT: Forgot to add: Sync is set to Push, and period of sync to the bare minimum, 1 day. But within that day he's seriously receiving several hundred emais.
Maybe try another email application?
Hey people,
For about 2 months now I have the problem that my Gmail or Google's "Inbox" app won't automatically sync anymore.
The only way for me to see if I have received new emails is to open one of the apps and refresh the inbox so everything is being synced. I have double checked all the settings in the phone and apps but everything seems to be in order.
The problem just started about 2 months ago all out of the sudden. Since then I was hoping this be be a bug that would be fixed by an update. But the problem is still occurring. Also after numerous de-instalations.
I hope maybe someone here is able to tell me how to fix this.
Cheers guys
Your not alone its a problem with all Huawei phones even the mighty Nexus 6P has the problem google it.

All my phones have been having trouble with Gmail as of late. emails aren't syncing immediately and sometimes only when I open it. *Moto X 2014, OPPO Find 7*
Does anyone have the same problem as me I have discord, Skype and many other apps but I don’t get the notification for messages and etc!
yes I had the problem also. Got to settings-battery optimization and click on each app you want to get notifications from and select dont allow.
I have tried all of the following even with Huawei Email app:
1. Battery Op.
2. Notifications settings.
3. Even Premissions
And still nothing. I dont really

I had the same problem, reset the device..
Helped me...
i did that too!!!
Resetting helps as well. Huawei has aggressive memory management.
Can you please explain what you mean by 'resetting'?
As in a full factory reset, then side-load say Skype from apkpure, then notifications are all ok? That seems hard to believe.
I have a new P40 Pro, installed Skype (never tinkered with GMS) and notifications do not work.
I have a Chinese Mate 30 Pro 5G and since March no GMS installed (they worked perfectly when I bought the phone in November last year, the seller installed them, but stopped working at some point in March - out of no reason and I haven't been able to get them working properly again since then) - Skype notifications DO NOT work. No matter what. Factory reset doesn't help, battery optimisation disabled doesn't help, keeping it working in the background doesn't help, nothing really helps ... I found out that installing the app from Amazon Appstore (the version there actually looks like Skype Lite) makes the situation a bit better - at least notifications work for some 10-15 minutes after you open the app, but then stop working again even if the app is still running in the background. So forget about being available for a skype call ... you will most probably miss it and get no notifications until you open the app again.
I've tried installing GMS again lately (by several methods), but then even less notifications worked ... And also, since updating to EMUI 10.1.0.126 it's difficult to use the Lzplay, once you get it working, you can't uninstall Google Play Sevices unless you do a factory reset of the phone – so you won't be able to follow the latest instructions for installing the Google services on your phone).
In case you're wondering - without GMS, the situation with notifications for messaging apps on my phone is the following (my use of the messaging apps below is mostly work related):
-Messenger (installed from APK Pure): works 99%, sometimes the notifications for messages are a bit delayed (for a few minutes), but receiving a call always works
-Skype: as described before, but only when installed from Amazon Appstore, the usual Skype app gives no notifications
-Viber (installed from App Gallery): mostly works, sometimes notifications are delayed (up to 1 hour)
-WhatsApp (Installed by direct download link in the App Gallery): the only app that works with no issues at all (I always get all notifications instantly)
-Slack (installed from APK Pure): no notifications at all
-Teams (installed from APK Pure): no notifications at all
-Instagram - messaging (installed from APK Pure): no notifications at all
For emails I use Outlook and I mostly get all notifications instantly or there is a slight delay (a few minutes) – I use it for all my email accounts (Exchange, Gmail, Outlook …).
Honestly, considering how many apps just don't show any notifications, I'm slowly getting to the point of loosing it. A phone worth 1k€ that can not be used as a real smart phone ... It's really a big frustration. I didn't think it would be, but it simply is. Don't get me wrong – I really LOVE Huawei phones, especially the Mate series, but … On the other hand – beside Gmail account (which is not my primary email account but I still use it), I don't use or need (and I never have) any of Google apps or services (I was a Windows Mobile user before my first Android/Huawei experience, so believe me, I never needed any of the Google »****« in my life), but in case Huawei doesn't find a solution for such basic apps that are used widely in the western world, I don't think they will be able to keep us users loyal to their brand.
getting the same problem i have the chinese version of the device so annoying
can you help us ?
thank you.
