I'm new to Honor and EMUI and i'm having trouble with push notifications with Gmail, specifically that it seems to be completely broken and I only know i've recieved email when i manually unlock my phone and check. I've been all through the settings pages of Gmail and EMUI to make sure notifications are on and that Gmail is allowed to run in the background but so far i've not found anything that fixes the issue. It also seems that Gmail is a system process rather than an app so Gmail often doesn't show up in the various app lists for controling battery management/optimisations etc. I'm on EMUI 5 on my UK spec phone if that matters.
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks
Do you have unlimited data enabled for Gmail? My phone had that problem
Nope, that was not enabled. I'll enable it and see what happens.
Is your Gmail app the latest version?

Yup, everything is up to date. There's doesn't seem to be any real logic to it either, sometimes an email notification will come straight through and then another email minutes later wont. I'm pretty sure it's doing for Facebook Messenger too.

Is your Play Services the latest version? Because it manages the GCM notifications that Gmail uses.

I've exempt Gmail from optimization, sync is all one, no data restrictions etc.
I definitely dont get notifications during deep sleep, they only came through this morning once i'd turned the screen on.

You lost too much if u make factory reset?

I've already done that
Actually, I haven't exempt it from optimization because Gmail doesn't even show up in the list, I think because it's seen as a system process rather than an app.

Hey guys.
I got decent knowledge about Android.
I got some knowledge about rooting,flashing, and troubleshooting. But I have a problem.
And ofcourse I did Google it before creating a thread here
So I was using my phone but what I noticed is out of nowere my contacts were gone.
My contacts are stored in Google.
I did go to settings > Accounts > (the acc) > and it is bussy with syncing contacts. (Feels like it is stuck on synching)
Drive, gmail, etc all off them did synch except for Google Contacts.
When I open the Google Contacts in my webrowser all off the contacts are there.
But inside Google Contacts App, it doesn't synch.
Things I tryed :
1. Removed all off my google accounts from my phone settings. cleared cache in TWRP. rebooted added back again.
2. Auto-Synch is on.
3. Tryed few times "synch now" (manual synch)
4. Rebooted few times.
5 Cleared app data from Google Contacts and Play services.
Any sugestions?
I did upload a screenshot here below. So you can see how it looks like.
And sorry for my bad english.
On your PC/MAC go to Gmail/Contacts and refresh your browser. Sign out.
On your 1+6 sign out and sign back in, that should do the trick.

Thank you for your time.
But this didn't work to. Forget to mention that I did this to. I also deleted my Google+ profile. I did read somewhere that it might help, but no.
So annoying this problem.
Hello, im loving my OP7 Pro so far - sadly i got one issue. I don't receive Notifs from Gmail... i enabled them all (the app does not appear in battery optimization so i cannot disable that). i got no issues with other apps. Im running out of idea.. i found a topic about the 6 and 5T but didnt deliver and sultion... anyone got the same problem?
i only see the mails if i actually open gmail.
I had the same issue with Gmail, I'm a Google apps user so have a service agreement with them, they managed to fix it at their end.
If your issue is the same as mine then you're Gmail notifications will not work on other phones too.
If they do work on other phones then you're issue is different to the one I had.
I hope this may help.

hello, thanks for your quick reply,
they worked fine on my huawei mate 20 x before.
so i guess the error is on a secret / hidden setting i cannot find
It's the deep sleep Android goes to. It's not showing in the battery optimization bc GMAIL is a system app.
Fix 1, Uninstall system GMAIL app with Titanium backup "root required" and install from the app store. It will show up in battery optimization then add to no optimize.
Fix 2, run "dumpsys deviceidle disable" w/o quotes in Terminal Emulator under SU "Root required" or add in into script and have execute at boot.
Fix 1 and 2 both worked for me before.
I installed magisk module, OxygenOS Gmail Battery Fix. It works for me so far.

It also doesn't work if I keep Gmail open and just turn the screen off.
So I basically need to root it to get notifications? Seems rather unintended no?
You'll need root to turn off Android doze or uninstall Gmail as a system app and reinstall as user app. That's the nature of the beast.
Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk
You can do it without root as well: Using Nova Launcher (or another launcher which can create activity shortcuts), long press on homescreen, click on widget and create an activity for: Settings -> Battery optimization (.Settings$HighPowerApplicationsActivity), open it, set to "all Apps" with the dropdown menu and it will show all Apps including system Apps. Then choose "not optimized" for Gmail

That's another issue then if it doesn't notify you if you send an email shortly after turning off the screen. Do you get notifications when the screen is on?
I found a great substitute for Gmail. Try Edison Email on the Play store. Notifications work great, and app is very customizable.

I have exactly the same issue...
Same here. With activty launcher from Nova i can change Gmail to ''dont optimize''. But it will reset after restart...
Go to Settings / Accounts / Google / Account sync
Disable and reenable sync for Gmail.
This fixes it for me every time. Issue typically comes back after some Gmail updates (not after all updates).

Trust me when I say this won't work, it took Google 2 weeks and lots of bug reports for them to find the issue assuming it's the same as mine.
Please confirm you still receive notifications on a different phone.
If not like I had, Google technical support had to fix something there end.
Having the same issue on my S10+ .. I receive some notifications on one Gmail account - but it's hit/miss on the rest.

With Android 11 came the bubble functionality, which displaced the chat head mechanism in Messenger. Unfortunately bubbles are very buggy - for example on OnePlus phones they are responsible for freezing the whole phone.
That's why I've created a MOD for Messenger which brings back the old chat heads.
Install guide
Uninstall all Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Facebook Business Suite etc).
Install the apps from this post (the ones you are using)
Enjoy!
(If you use Facebook apps that are not attached to this post, let me know, I'll resign apks and add them)
--------------------------------------------
DEPRACATED 08.08.2022Messenger brought back old chat heads to their official application, this mod is no needed anymore
You can uninstall modded apks and install official ones from Google Play.
If you encounter any problems with official apps (e.g. crashing when trying to open an app). You probably needs to clear dalvik cache.
UPDATE 06.01.2022
DOWNLOAD: AndroidFileHost
New versions:
- Messenger 342.1.0.14.119
- Facebook 349.0.0.0.122 alpha
Phone calls in Messenger should be fixed in this version
UPDATE 20.10.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 335.0.0.17.75
- Facebook 341.0.0.2.73
Download here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-for-android-11.4300779/page-5#post-85806197
Please give me feedback, if everything is all right I will replace files in this post.
UPDATE 7.09.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 329.0.0.10.118
- Facebook 336.0.0.0.85 alpha (I had troubles with decompiling standard/beta versions)
UPDATE 27.07.2021
New versions - facebook_330.0.0.0.102.apk and messenger_324.0.0.0.62.apk.
Fixed:
- connection Facebook <=> Messenger (sharing videos, opening Messenger from Facebook)
- (highly possible) Facebook not refreshing wall
Let me know if Facebook Lite or Business Manager is needed to be updated as well

So the version of FB in my phone is showing as a system app. I can't uninstall. Attaching pics. Can u tell me how to uninstall plz? It shows"installed" but I can't uninstall, if I go thru the play Store, it gives the "uninstall updates to this system app" only option. I have it disabled because I don't trust it *note NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED. Yeah well that's too fishy. Plus I'm locked out of FB right now cause i have 2 factor on & when I get the code & enter it I get an error msg invalid code. I left FB services enabled so I can continue using IG. I really miss using Messenger, if u have any suggestions I'd much appreciate.

Do we have to use the Facebook that you provide or can we use the official one?

Thank you so much for this! Gone are the days of suffering through awful chat bubbles.
I have a weird bug on Facebook though. Posts aren't updating so I see the same posts even after force stopping the app and clearing the cache. This only happens to posts under "Home", not "Recent". Is there a fix for this?

you need to select the copy and paste link in the conversation. this option does not work because the system does not detect this application as official Messenger

I switched to Edison Mail. Small footprint. Instant notifications. All the functions of Gmail plus the added bonus of a combined In Box. Just like GMail it reads my messages and adds things to my calendar, reminds me about bills, etc.
