Places to enable notifications (L29) - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

I have the L29 version and right out of the box notifications seems to work great on almost all 3rd party apps. That's is certainly not normal for Chinese phones and is very much welcomed.
I do have one app however that I can never get to push notifications "HQ Trivia"
I made sure all notifications were turned on, and I also went into the battery settings and set it to manual and turned everything on in there.
Is there some other place or permissions I need to set to get notifications to work again? (Also tried clearing data, uninstalling app)
This seems to be the only app I have issues with for notifications, just trying to learn the UI so i know where everything is hidden as on my Xiaomi phones there were about 3 different areas you needed to adjust setting in for notifications to work.

Push Notifications

Hello
I have massive problems with push Gmail messages or Whatsapp . These come only if I make the display on .
These issues are also discussed in OnePlus forum .
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/push-notification-issues.451149/
You have this problem or not there solutions ?
Yup, I have the same problem and trust me, thousands of other people seem to have them as well even on other phones. What I found out so far is that it's a feature of Doze in Marshmallow that's supposed to save battery.
People on here and OnePlus forums have recommended to me to either set notification priority of apps you have problems with to TREAT AS PRIORITY in App Notifications in Settings.
Other thing that was recommended was going into battery, select BATTERY OPTIMIZATION from the drop down menu, select ALL APPS and disable battery optimization for apps you want to get notifications from instantly when get pushed to you.
Now, that's all nice and dandy but, for me at least, neither of these options work. And a lot of apps are impacted, not just Gmail/Inbox/WhatsApp/Twitter/Flashscore etc...
Any insights and fixes would be appreciated because it's really annoying. I get emails from work that are sometimes quite urgent and if my phone is in "Doze Mode", I don't get notified which kinda destroys the whole purpose of push notifications in the first place.
Exactly the same problem here as described above by Donjuan89, tried the same solutions, even installed the PNF app but that also does not work.
This is very annoying to say the least, plus other bugs like no ringtone, the memory issue, the fact that Dashcharge is closed source, sources released but no stock recovery, the phone is quite a disappointment.
It shows that they didn't even do basic testing.
Seems not being a OnePlus problem...same issues on my Galaxy S6 edge...
disable dozemode then test greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=de
Try "Push Notification Fixer" root app from PlayStore.
I had the same issue, only with GMail (WhatsApp has been fixed in the meantime I think).
I am on Oxygen 3.2.4, I set Gmail notifications "TREAT AS PRIORITY", it seems working!
Does it work for you on latest OS release?

Does the "Blinker" or Notification LED work on your device?

Greetings to fellow Pixelers!
It seems that the LED Notification/Blinker does not work on Pixel 2 phones properly
and from what I can gather, Google knows about this problem.
I have personally tried every solution out there to no avail.
So this is a simple POLL to see how wide spread this problem is?
Thank you for your participation and any possible solution/fix!
You could ask here where the discussion is ongoing. Yes I understand you want to know if the actual light is working, but other than toggling it on in settings have you tried Light Flow or other apps?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/xl-2-notification-led-t3683788
Mine works fine, but notification light wasn't always turned on by default for a lot of apps. Instead of faffing around with notification settings, I just use Lightflow.
Mine works and using the settings in my mail (Aquamail) and Text (Textra) clients , I have different colored lights for each mail account (x3) and a totally different color for texts. That covers most of my needs, so I haven't even looked into LightFlow .. but I might.
Mine was turned off by default -- I've turned it on, and had to go through apps to select which ones I wanted to trigger the LED. Seems to work fine. But frankly, with notifications appearing on the lock screen, it's far less necessary than it might have been with an earlier phone. I also tried installing Lightflow (I've had a premium license for years -- since my Galaxy Nexus I believe). Lots of options, but within an hour, the OS was warning me of heavy battery usage from Lightflow. I honestly didn't see a whole lot of value in it beyond the default functionality, so I uninstalled it for now...
LED blinker app works fine,I'm using it on my Panda

Problem with Notifications

Yesterday I got my new RN5 Global still running with stock MIUI Global 9.5.19.0. I noticed that notifications are not working reliably for some apps. For example I have an app set to Sound, LED light, vibration notification enabled but I dont receive any of those. When I unlock my phone I then only see the app's badge in the statusbar and the notification listed in the pulldown menue. I also already attempted to fix this by setting Battery saver to "No restriction" and Autostarts to "on". This did not help either though.
Anything else I could try to get proper notifications with this phone? This was working fine with my old Galaxy S5.

Reliable notifications was tradionally a PIA with MIUI, for me at least. It seems Xiaomi never cared that much about it functioning well. Or it is choked in favour of better battery.
Use Lineage or AOSP based if you need to rely on them. I do.
So there is no way to get notifications to work on stick MIUI? My bootloader is still not unlocked and the phone is worthless without notifications.

You'll have to dig deep into the app permissions, and then for some apps you can get reliable notification. But I can't help you with that, I'm not using Miui anymore.
I had complainted numerous times about it. If using your phone really as a work tool, which most probably not do, then you need good calendar, messenger, robust email, good collaboration, incl. rock solid notifications. But it seems that most people are rather much intersted in face unlock, double tap to wake and fingerprint. So certainly Xiaomi will care for these gimmicks, not productivity.
Notifications certainly used to be very unreliable on MIUI. But ever since miui 9, if i disable battery optimization for app and allow auto start, run in background etc. permissions, all my notifications work perfectly. Tho i only use messenger, facebook, gmail, instagram, youtube notifications

I have all those things activated for this app but it's still not working.
Same issue in MIUI 10. Tried everything from disabling battery optimisation to adding all permissions and notification sounds.
Some apps will work fine and i receive the notifications without problem e.g. messenger, facebook, gmail, whatsapp but others are completely silent e.g. hotukdeals, amazon shopping, ebay, onepulse, trello and many more despite having all the appropriate permissions will only notify silently.

Huawei Mate 20 X (Chinese version): Not getting notifications on mobile data

So today after weeks of waiting my brand new Huawei Mate 20 X finally arrived.
Went through the initial phone setup and installed an APK of Google Play, no dramas so far.
Installed all the usual apps, Facebook, Messenger (which only half works, but that's another story), my banking apps etc.
Had absolutely no issues whatsoever, was receiving notifications normally, in fact I would say I was getting notifications quicker on Wi-Fi on this phone than what I was on my old Google Pixel.
Went out for a drive, didn't receive a single notification for about 20 minutes, decided to check Facebook and all of a sudden 5 or so notifications pop up at once, having owned a Huawei before I instantly figured out that it was probably a battery optimisation issue, went and checked the settings, battery optimisation was turned off by default which I was surprised by, so then I went into the applications menu and made sure that all of my apps like Facebook had priority, apparently on the new version of EMUI there is no such thing as a 'priority application'.
Got home and connected back to WiFi and it started working perfectly again, just to make sure it wasn't something I did I went back out for another drive and once again my notification stopped working.
Went through all of my data settings, turned 'data always on' on through the developer's menu, I've done pretty much everything I can think of doing.
Just to confirm that it was actually a software issue I downloaded a push notifications tester through the Play Store, and as I expected that confirmed that I wasn't getting notifications through my data.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all?
Apart from that it's been probably the perfect phone, I don't want to have to return it purely based on one small but yet massively inconvenient issue.

Try: Settings/Apps & Notifications/Permissions (This based on Android 8.0 on a Huawei Honor Note 8) this would be another reason, if you dont trust the phone it would stop this as well.

Go into Notifications, More notification settings, smart notifications, Auto-update and change to "all networks", see if that fixes your problem(s).

I just tried this I'm going to see if it works.
Did it work?
Please try the following methods:
1)Make sure the SIM card is inserted. Setttings---Battery---- Click the gear button on the upper right corner--- switch on “Stay connected when device sleeps”.
2) Settings---Notifications----More notification settings---turn off "Smart notifications"

Go into settings - battery - more battery settings and toggle on the option that says "stay connected when device sleeps". This fixed all my delayed notifications on Gmail and WhatsApp

Question Some notifications not showing + Google Assistant issue

Hi There,
I'm running the latest available version of Color OS11 on my OP9Pro in China. So it is the stock OS that came with the device - updated for the latest patch etc.
I have a couple of issues that I'm hoping to get some help with or thoughts on how to fix it.
1. Some apps just don't show any notifications. All notifications are allowed and the apps themselves work fine, but I don't get any notifications at all.
2. Google assistant works, but I can't get 'Hey Google' to work, and in the settings for voice match, it 'not available for this language'. I've looked at other forums and posts on this and followed the instructions and changed the language as suggested but it still doesn't work.
3. The phone automatically switches off 'high performance mode'. After manually turning on this setting, it switches this off automatically at some point. Do you know why that would happen? Is it something that happens when the battery dips under 20%?
Thanks, and apologies if some of this has been covered already, but I wasn't able to find a fix to this.
Cheers,
A

I don't have a ton of great answers, but I can commiserate. I've noticed with the latest OTA though that the notifications have been much better. Used to be that Gmail would never tell me when I have a message until I go into the app which defeats the purpose. Now, it gives me notifications in a timely manner.
Something important is to make sure you minimize battery savings in the settings as I think OxygenOS is too overzealous in killing apps. So, I turned off battery optimization to any app I needed notifications from that were acting up: Gmail and calendar were the main ones. Some apps like Facebook gave notifications anyway, so it's really strange as to what apps weren't working and which were.
I'm not sure about the language thing. As for high performance mode, it's likely a battery saving issue. Oneplus really seems to like to throttle things back to save battery (or hide their abysmal battery performance relative to competitors). But I'm not sure on that one.
Thanks! The high performance toggle is indeed linked with battery levels.
I'm using coloros, not oxygen os as I'm in China. So not sure if coloros is doing the same as OoS, but I have disabled battery optimization for the apps that I want notifications for but don't get it.
Even some notifications in Gmail, outlook are delayed which sometimes defeat the purpose. For example, it game me a reminder at 12:45 for my 12:30 meeting... Haha
A missing update could be the culprit if your Reminder notifications aren't coming through. Make sure the app is up to date, and then try Google Reminders again. Clear the app cache data. Clear the cache data for Google Reminders, and then try using the app again.
Thanks, all those apps are up to date, and I'm running the latest version of coloros available for now. hoping that switching to coloros 12 will fix it.
Stupid question - where do I find google reminders.. didn't seem to see it anywhere
