Push notifications still not working for some apps

Hi all.
I am sure this question has been asked again and again.
But I am having troubles with push notifications working for some apps
I.e. Pushbullet, kaokaotalk
They don't work unless i open the app.
WhatsApp and Facebook seem to be working fine.
Anyone have an absolute fix?

Even gmail and Google inbox don't work.
They have been setup as protected apps etc already

Try adding them to the memory whitelist.
Phone manager>system optimization (paintbrush)>settings (gear top right)>memory cleanup whitelist
My understanding is apps in this list will not clear the memory when you "kill" the app. I could be wrong. Please respond to this post if this fixes your problem or not.

Two important settings, under Battery (protected) and under "Apps" (ignore optimization). Also try to put CPU to performance

Solve -> Problem with Pushover notification on lockscreen
my notification did not show on notification and lock screen.
1. Phone manager>system optimization (paintbrush)>settings (gear top right)>memory cleanup whitelist
2. Setting>advanced settings>Battery manager>Power plan> Smart or Performance>
3. Setting>advanced settings>Battery manager>Protected apps> Turn on for Whatsapp and Pushover
4. Clean Master < I think this is the culprit causing problem > Ensure Tools>Notification Cleaner is disable. My was enabled. and it cause notification not to show on the Lock Screen.

I have a note 8, but emui 4.1 is pretty standard across the line. Having the exact same issue. Have tried the PNF, whitelisted google play and whatsapp in the memory whitelist, protected apps, ignore battery optimizations etc.
I can repeat the error. So it seems that it ignores the whitelist like you suspected.
Steps. Clear all apps.
Open quicksync manually sync accounts that i want to show up.
Notifications appear.
Go to app task manager view with the square button, kill app.
Send message. No dice.
Have even tried using the PNF heartbeat fix, but to no effect.
Now i have one odd issue. When i received the device, google play services was already installed, but some how it was in the system folder despite the phone being locked. Not sure if that is an issue, since if anything i would suspect that would be helpful instead of harmful, but i have no way of removing it to test since bootloader is locked , and the play services is persistent over a factory reset.
Anyways, any other solutions i have not thought of would be helpful, huawei makes such nice devices, but if you get stuck on a chinese rom, it can be a nightmare for some.. went through the same headache with mate 7 but managed to solve its notifications issues.

Go to Settings-->Accounts-->Tap on the Menu button at the bottom-->Check[?] Auto-sync data

Yes I have tried that. For now I think i will just add my chat clients and aquamail to the locked status on the task manager and keep them open... I have tried all iterations of power saving, etc.. so I think it may just be the build unfortuneately. Hopefully EMUI 5.0 will be a bit less invasive, as they said they are going back to a more stock android vibe to compete in international markets.

Hello, I am in the exact same situation. Did you get some luck?
I updated mine to emui5, but nothing changed.
Do you have a AL10 chinese version? I am thinking that this might be the point.
Thank you.

HBO app crashing after login

Anyone with HBO (nordic) got their app working? I wrote them and they replied the following (translated with google):
Unfortunately, I can tell that Huawie phones do not support our app, so we can not guarantee it will work.
I have tried both resolutions, with and without the notch, both normal and forced full screen, but can't get it to work!
Hope someone can help

Hello ,
I got my subscription for HBO GO trough Telekom Romania. And for me at least it works without any special actions taken by me. Resolution set to full , the app didn't ask me for full screen view.
Hope it helps .

Maybe it's just the HBO Nordic app. Guess I'll write Huawei hoping for them to fix it. Thanks for your feedback.

You're welcome. Hope they fix it.

Got the same Phone and the same problem with the same app (Just HBO Nordic, everything else works like a charm). I've tried to reset app, uninstall/reinstall, factory reset etc, etc... Nothing works. Please keep me updated!

Try turning the Notch off and set it to standard Full Screen.. then try it...
Like the iPhone X, the Notch creates an irregular screen ratio... This happens on Netflix too...

Great suggestion, but unfortunately this didn't work for me. Tried to clear cache and data, but still no luck. Even tried reinstalling, but same result.

I am be able to use the HBO app (from Google Play market) until today... Now closed when log...
Rgs.

Try deleting Google play service cache or memory.

Unfortunately this didn't work as well.

Possible solution
Hi. Just solved this on my Huawei P20 pro with some help from Huawei's support. You have to erase not only Google play services cache but also all its data.
Go to:
1. Settings
2. Apps and notifications
3. Apps
4. Find and choose ”Google play services"
5. Click on ”Storage”
6. Click on "manage space"
7. Click on ”clear all data"
Done!
You might have to redo this everytime you restart your phone. Huawei told me that they are working on the issue as I write this.
/Paunchygent

@paunchygent thanks. I had done this for something else, Fitbit, and noticed by mistake that it seemed that HBO was working again. Seems that the P20 have a problem with the "Google play services".

Thanks! Now I got HBO working! My weekend is saved

I had the same problem with DR TV app (the Danish equivalent to BBC) as well as the HBO Nordic app. I guess it's related to the Chromecast-feature(?). Both solved by clearing Google Play Services-data. Thanks

apps not starting when switching on the phone

Hi,
Since I uninstalled both Greenify and hibernator some apps are not starting anymore when I switch on the phone. (podcast republic, Gmail and Three in touch. There might be others that are playing up but haven't noticed that.) Three in touch and podcast republic are set to start automatically and Gmail I think always have always done this. Any idea what is going on and what to do to make them work properly.
Running OOS 5.0.4 and not rooted

I will suggest
1.Try booting the phone in safe mode and then check
2.For the required app goto app info > battery >turn on background activity (if not) AND also you can try turning off the battery optimisation setting for the specific app
3.Install SD MAID ( sideload the pro version from net) and in the app control section try turning on individual boot up settings for the specific apps <<<I THINK IT REQUIRES ROOT>>>
4.Atlast you can try reinstalling those apps
:good:

Thanks
Tried option one but didn't seem to have an impact
Option two, I can't see an option to turn on or off background activity for Gmail or podcast republic. Switching off battery optimization for three in touch seems to have sorted that problem but not for podcast republic. Gmail doesn't seem to have this option.
Option 3 haven't tried
Option 4 I might try tomorrow.
Thanks for the tips. At least one problem is solved now.

Huawei p20 pro chrome freezing

Brothers, I am getting desperate, my flagship is not functioning properly.
What is the problem?
Since 2 weeks ago, Chrome started freezing in all instances, when opened directly, when opening a link from any app, when clicking tiles in google (also google app freezes some times)
How I tried to solve it?
Restarting phone
Clearing cache
Giving all permisiions to all google apps
Reinstalling the system (with backup)
Reinstalling the sistem (clean install)
Upgrading to EMUI 9.1 and updating Chrome (today I got an update)
Absolute nothing is working, Chrome is freezing like clockwork, for example when I scroll a page, it lets me scroll 1-2 screens then freezes or freezes from the beginning or would just not open , freezes in the loading page screen. It freezed even when the phone was loaded only with the basic apps, after reinstalling.
I was thinking of buying the Mate 30 pro or the P30 pro but now I am very seriously doubting I would.
All other apps are working, now when I want to browse I copy the link from Chrome to Firefox (usually it would not freeze right away after opening a link and it is letting me copy the wep address) but one can imagine that is not OK.
Please...someome with the same problem and/or a solution?

Try beta or canary to see if the problem persists. Check dev options and change the WebView option to either chrome stable or whatever version you want to test.

Thanks a bunch for the answer, I installed canary but it would not let me change the WebView implementation , it says "the choice is no longer valid, try again later" although both chrome and canary seem to be available. What I changed tho, is the "enable mulți process WebView" toggle, which is now active and it seems to have worked, at least atm.

Yes, beta option was available, with the same message when I tried to enable it.
No change anyway after I toggled that in developer options , all chrome instances keep freezing the same way.
I installed microsoft launcher and use Bing now as a search engine and when I want to open a link from gmail II copy-paste it in Firefox.
So annoying.

Hello guys!
After I updated my P40 Pro to 10.1.0.154, Google Mobile Services not working, so I had to reset my phone.
No more GMS.

hi, first You have to downgrade to 131. After that You can update but .... sometimes ( once a day) You have to uninstall Google Services ( clear data ect. ) and install again, same with Google framework ( clear data, stop service, uninstall and install) sometimes You have to do it only one time, sometimes few times. However when google Play magicly discover that You have old google services Play stops working, but everything else work ( gmail, calender, youtube, android auto, ect.) And this is my question, yestarday I've discovered that when I install new google services everything is working but I get info about not certifie phone ( this device is not google certify ). Has anyone discovered method how to avoid this ?

The only workaround I found is to freeze gsf and only unfreeze when I want to update all apps in play store. When frozen, everything works properly except playstore, yet no any errors and push notifications work fine.

Unfortunately freezing has to be done via pc. Unfreezing can be done from the phone. But I do it once a week at the office so no prob.
I am using multitool 8 software to do that. If you need instructions let me know.

-You can download the tool here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
Sorry I do not have the app on front of me so the description will be vague..
-After you install it you connect the phone to the pc
-you might be prompted that the phone is not compatible with the tool, however when you connect it in 'transfer files' mode the tool will recognize the device
-after you see the device data in home screen you go to modifications tab
-in the middle of the screen it says show system processes, you find android gsf on the list and just click disable
-that's it!
The enabling part can be done directly from your device settings.

Youtube notifications work, dunno though if there is any delay on them, I am only receiving notifications from my subscribed channels..
Gmail notifications are the only ones not working properly, meaning there is a big delay on the notification.. I would put my Gmail in the email app of the phone, or even outlook (outlook works for sure coz I am receiving maybe 1000emails per day at work hahah)
That aside, all other Google notifications work, I am being notified for weather, news, etc..
The only thing I cannot make work is the usual Google cards feed which I was used to in my previous phone (by swiping to the left home screen)

May i suggest to try out IceBox, (with shizuku to replace root) for this purpose. I don't have the phone myself, but reading this it seems perfect for exactly this.
Shizuku can allow apps like IceBox and AppOps to function without the need of root or manual adb actions, and IceBox allows you to automatically freeze apps after usage again and launch them from the homescreen icon directly, automatically unfreezing it and freezing it again after you stop using it.

Icebox requires clean installation I think (in order to enable God mode or something?), tried to do this at some point but I could not reset again my phone so I use the multitool method.. [emoji23]

Nah, IceBox just needs a method to access the secure settings. This can be done with either root, Island delegated god mode or shizuku.
Root is out of the picture for huawei, island would be relatively easy to setup since huawei does not use the multi-user interface AFAIK. Minimal chance of data loss.
Shizuku just need developer options enabled and Wireless ADB enabled if you want to use it without a pc, or alternatively just over a regular usb/ADB connection. I'm using IceBox on my stock OnePlus 8 Pro with shizuku. Never lost any data and took like 30 seconds to setup, no pc involved
