Hello, I am interested in getting a Honor 8 but as a user of a Honor 6 I need to know if they fixed the bug who most annoyed me, the notifications coming up only for the stock app and the ones on the battery managment white list (Facebook, Whatsapp, gReader), I tried every possible way to activate notification for normal apps and games and always failed, I could receive them only with the app always open in the background.
Can someone confirm if games like Fate Grand Order, Granblue Phantasy or app like Amazon, Line, APKpure notify as normal on Honor 8? Without using notifications apps or keeping the app on in the BG.
Thanks to whoever helps, this is a big factor for me in the decision to buy this device.
Go to setting-->apps-->advanced-->igonre battery optimizations
Then selected your desired apps to get notifications

I tried them all, it doesn't work, I just want to know if people are getting notifications on Honor 8 because the 6 is done.
My friend receives notification all the time on his honor 8, also I will reach members and ask them
Honor 8 Notifications & Pop-Ups
Hello, we appreciate your concern about the notification settings on your Honor 8 device. Please note: some setting notifications in Phone Manager is not supported for some apps. To set notifications for such an app, touch Settings > Apps, touch the app, and the touch Notifications. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our knowledgeable Honor Customer Service Team at +1-844-524-6667 and they can assist you further. (NS)
Of course I already tried that.
For being clear, I tried everything, different party launchers, notification apps activating every setting and disabling battery optimazion, etc.
I only haven't tried to install a app as system app because it requires root and I'm not doing that or closing the huawei battery mangment app because it woul create other problems.
I just want to know if Honor 8 had the bug fixed and normal apps give notifications, like games or similar unknown/low rated apps.

What app is not getting notified?
Did you do any official update? If so, did you backup (Huawei backup), factory reset and restore?

Every app not one installed on the device from Huawei from before I got it or not a message related one.
I had problems with whatsapp notifications, after a reset is the only app I got to work fine.
Facebook, Twitter and a few other apps about messaging and high rated in the play store like gReader or Avast always worked.
I recently discovered, when searching for a solution, that Huawei created a whitelist for apps in the their battery management program and every app not listed in it could not work, I tried every possible way to get notifications and not a single one worked.
That confused me, I can't find any explanation to this

So, you got to phone management, battery, protected apps, and selected the ones you wanted to avoid stopping when screen is off.
Also in phone manager, notification centre, you select all options (could leave banners off) for the apps you wanted.
And in phone manager, app auto-launch, you turn on the option for those apps.
I know doze in MM ROMs is tricky but still it works fine. I also noticed when restoring apps from a backup sometimes notifications for those apps don't work well.
I'll repeat it again.
I've.Tried.Everything.
I have this damn thing from 2 years.
I just only want to know if apps notifications work like they should on Honor 8 and most recent Huawei device, is the only thing stopping me from getting one, if the answer is no just tell me, I will go for another brand like Sony, Vernee or Samsung, maybe even Elephone, at least stock android doesn't have this bugs.
Every app will respond differently, but to adjust notifications on your phone, follow these instructions:
To set notifications for such an app, touch Settings > Apps, touch the app, and the touch Notifications.
Note: Setting notifications in Phone Manager is not supported for some apps. You can also adjust individual apps settings by going to the specific apps settings. (NS)

Notifications work fine in H7 and H8.
I'll stop repeating how I already set every setting on and it doesn't work because it seems like is useless and everyone is repeating their advices.
Could someone with H8 list some apps with working notifications? I could try to install them on mine and verify if they are on the white list or the new devices actually work as they should and every app notify.

Dear VooXoo, I think everyone got a bit confused since you posted this on the Honor 8 page. As everyone else mentioned, the notifications are NOT A PROBLEM on Honor 8. Yes they were a problem on your device : the Honor 6 and even Honor 7, but they are not anymore.
I would like some proof, because some people say isn't a problem even on older devices.
Hi all,
I found this method that clones any app on Huawei EMUI from last year, but it's no longer working on my Note 10.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-clone-any-application-with-emuis-app-twin-feature-no-root/
Does anyone know how to do it with the EMUI8?
The command "settings get secure clone_app_list" always shows null, no matter if the wechat is cloned or not.
Setting this list to anything else than null will disable the app clone switch.
I need this for online banking app where I manage multiple accounts for the whole family, and tend to avoid 3rd party solution.
Thanks in advance.
Answering to myself. Seems also need to be rooted, pity for Note10 at the current stage.

Hey guy,
since there is no way right now to install a custom rom onto the P20 pro I am really concerned about the savety of my private data. What can I do to send as less data as possible to Huawei and their partners (Google,...)? Can I disable the reporting completely?
Thanks in advance!

btw.: if there is a thread out there i did not see yet pls let me know =)
Don't use a smartphone at all.

One solution is to block internet access for installed apps and some system apps: settings - > wireless and networks - > data usage - > network access.
If this is not enough for your needs, another solution is to use Netguard and block internet access for any system app you like. It is an open source app and you can find the playstore version
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-netguard-root-firewall-t3233012 or the github version that compared to the playstore version it also has adblock using hosts files
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md
I use the github version and it works fine in our phone. A tip to work properly in P20 pro, is to enable "manage system apps" in the Netguard's advanced options. Also, if you use the github version, disable automatic update for Netguard from playstore, otherwise you will lose adblocking. You can update the app via github whenever there is a new update.

I'll just post my answer on a similar question.
Two things:
1. You really need to understand better what is your concern. "Reporting" (such as "Digital Balance" or "User experience improvement program") don't collect data that can identify you as an actual person, it can just identify your phone usage patterns and general info. Most of those can just be disabled in various settings.
2. If you want to go full paranoid (not using Google or any other cloud service accounts, not using cloud backups and syncs, cutting your phone from data network) you will be owning a smartphone without actually using any of its "smart" features. In this case you are really better off, just buy an old feature-phone and save yourself some money.
Hi all, I work at a group home and one of the clients recently purchased an Amazon Fire tablet to facebook chat with his dad.
My issue is that thanks to the crapiness of humanity I know that there's a strong potential for the tablet to grow legs.
Without getting into details, the client cannot have the tablet always in their posession, and we can't conveniently lock it down anywhere, and ideally whoever is supporting him needs to have access to the tablet whenever possible.
I'm wondering if there is an app, or even better, a device, which can cause the tablet to alert my manager the moment the device leaves the property? Ideally something not easily accessed or removed.
I know getting a tablet just for facebook chat is overkill, I wasn't the one who purchased it for the client, I'm just trying to make do with what is available.

It's an Android right?
I had a look at the Amazon store for anti-theft apps but there were none that I recognised from sources I trust (nit that I have researched them, but maybe you can find a reliable review) You have to be certain it's from a trusted source as these type of apps require special permissions eg admin in order to do their job, and could be abused by a malicious app.
I would recommend Cerberus Anti Theft, I used them for years & they have a good reputation, even though Google removed the app form play store. This is because they had to link the Google app to additional downloads in order to maintain the functionality of the app that made it the best, after Google changed what permissions apps could be granted for apps downloaded from Google store.
You can download for Android devices from their website
https://www.cerberusapp.com/
However there is a potential problem with all antitheft apps, ie. Turning off wifi/data means you can't communicate with it(but Cerberus could be activated via SMS), also a factory reset will remove them, so if a knowledgeable person steals a phone/tablet they can remove the antitheft app, so possibly you would have limited time to activate it. Which is why I used to root & install as a system app, which meant only reinstalling the full factory Android operating system to remove it.
There should be the basic "fined my device" on Android built in (I'm not familiar with Amazon variants) but its not very powerful.
I'll look into it, thanks. It does have tracking but unfortunately that wouldn't alert in time to be able to accurately determine who took it.
If Cerberus can do sms then my manager might be able to get immediate notification if it walks away, once it disconnects from wifi
What I don't get is why isn't there a hardware based solution, something that you have connected to your wifi that alerts you if devices in connected to that wifi signal get disconnected. Or even simpler, bluetooth based.
The problem is that tablets don't all have data, and if turned off they lose the anti theft features. So there needs to be something outside of the device itself that can alert the owner. Maybe it's just to specific a problem unfortunately.

PS. You could use Tasker app (or other automation app) on your phone to set up an alert when the tablet losses connection, if you use your phone as a hotspot, I think.
My banking app stopped working 30mins ago and after I nuked the data/cache and got it working again. I caught the app asking for new permissions that I don't believe it asked for before
telephoneManager/getSimOperatorName - in my case o2
settings.Secure.getstring/android_id - same as asking for the serial, why does my bank need this.
PackageManager.getindstalledPackages - wtf does it need to know what apps are on my personal phone?
NetworkInfo.getextrainfo - why does it need to know who my data provider is?
AdvertisingClient$Info.getid - why the actual f*** does a banking app or my bank need my advertising id.
TelephonyManager/getNetworkOperatorName - asking who my operator again, why.
Fabric.with/Kits - not quite sure what this is, cant find anything beyond its something to do with android SDK.
I am emailing my bank app support to see if I can get some straight answers, but in the meantime can someone tell me what "Fabric.with/Kits" is and why the app would be asking for this permission?

Yes, seems like a lot of unnecessary permissions, I'd be suspicions also. Though they might be using those permissions to increase security by "fingerprinting" your phone, thus making it harder for someone to impersonate you, though you can change your advertisers ID on newer Android versions, so maybe not! Or app legitimately need that info for some other reason. Also app permission fall into 2 categories "normal" & "dangerous" you are not asked to approve normal ones only dangerous ones eg access to contacts, network access etc. I'm not a dev so not sure if they have been moved to a new category now & that is why you are seeing them now. Maybe permissions added by bank legitimately but on other hand seem excessive to me.
The Fabric one might be OK as fabric is a module framework that uses kits & is used by some developers to implement crashlytics etc, but guess some kits could be used maliciously. (Google are pushing devs form Fabric to Firebase)
But if suspicions give that app a scan with a good security app (not that this proves app is safe!) Try the Sophos security app, its free, might identify if malicious but also gives a nice summary of permissions granted to all your apps.
