Hello,
My dad bought the p9 not so long ago in China, EVA-AL10C00B386, android 7.0, EMUI 5.0, he stopped using it shortly after because if whatsapp was no open in the background, he would not receive any notifications.
My phone died yesterday so I'm trying to use his p9 now, not only whatsapp doesn't receive notifications when offline, I noticed that you can't use whatsapp on your pc either ( since it requires your phone to be connected when used), so I guess whatsapp (also telegram, but I guess it's a general problem) just doesn't run in the background when the app is not active.
I've been searching online for a fix, but I only found irrelevant solutions.
Is there any way to fix it? and if not, will installing a different rom fix the issue? if so, is there any specific rom I should get?
EDIT: I enabled developer options, and in the Running Services, whatsapp and the rest aren't running, so why is the phone blocking these services?
Thanks
try to use protected-apps to receive notification
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/152649/what-is-protected-apps-in-huawei-phones
I can not find the protected-apps options, I looked every where, and under Battery, it doesn't exist, the closest option I found was settings -> battery -> close apps after screen lock.
And I already disabled it for everything.
For me worked to add a widget on my homescreen of the app you want to run in the background. With the widget the phone is forced to run the app in the background. With Whatsapp for example you can add the widget with all of the chats.

That's good to hear that it worked ?. You could also make Whatsapp to a system app. I don't know why but that works also but you need root for this.
Hi All,
I have order a Oneplus 3T that will be delivered today. Now have the Oneplus 3T a dual SIM option, but can i use WhatsApp two times? By Huawei you can use the option 'app twin' that Huawei have build in his EMUI skin.
With app twin you can use Social media apps: Facebook, twitter and WhatsApp 2 times, so you can use 2 numbers with WhatsApp.
I hope i can use this option (personal number and work number).
Greetz, Marco
use any third party apps bro. They give more option than stock one if it was available.

I personally use a modded version for whatsapp that's working paralle with original with a lot more options and potential privacy and different look settings. google it and you'll find it.

Could you share a link to this APK via PM?
Right now I am using Parallel Space which works perfectly (also notifications) but drains battery. I used to test Island (Play Store BETA-section) which is great but I couldn't get it to properly work in combination with an applock so I switched back to Parallel Space. Maybe you modded APK will do better? Happy to hear from you! Some link would help
I use this application for second sim: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa
It doesn't have all the functions but it's ok for my job sim. If anyone has another better option, please share.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I just bought my new Realme X2 Pro from AliExpress a few days ago, and have been facing an annoying issue.
Although I have disabled Smart Power Saver and App Quick Freeze features in the settings, almost all the installed applications do not pop up any notification. I also have enabled notifications for each app, such as Yahoo email, Gmail, Mobile banking apps, Telegram, Imo, WhatAPP, etc., and have allowed them to always run in the background. I know it would drain the phone battery, but I thought doing these kinds of stuff would fix the notification problem. I did whatever the Realme website suggested and also what the community proposed.
This is my first experience with an unknown cellphone brand, and I have to put it to the experience.
I was wondering if anybody can advise me on a solution.
I have to mention that I did factory reset my phone thrice and also updated my phone to the latest OS version, but nothing changed!
Suggested solutions by Realme which did not work:
https://www.realme.com/in/support/kw/doc/FAQ1106
I would appreciate your valuable comments on this topic.
It's very strange,
I buy from Amazon the european blue 12GB 256GB and I only setup my programs and I don't have any issue in notifications at all.
I use Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, 4 e-mails accounts and everything work good has expected. I have this phone 5 days ago and I don't have this notification issue.
And is a very boring issue.
As far as I know: Chinese ROM have problems with notifications ...EU ones is good

So go in the apps that you aren't getting messages from in the app list in the settings menu and in one of the options you can select wifi or wifi and data . I had a bunch of apps that were set to wifi by default so I had to adjust that (I just went through and activated the wifi&data option for all the apps regardless) and also if you like use adb to remove Athena package that fixed all notification issues for me.

Thanks for the comment. WiFi and Data are enabled by default for every application, and changing them did not solve the notification issue.
Remove coloros.athena.com service through adb. It will solve the problem. U can also remove other Chinese apps too.

It's com.coloros.athena if I'm not mistaken.
So in adb run:
adb shell PM uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.athena

Thanks, I just did it, but it didn't solve the issue. If I close the recent apps, no notification will be shown. I need to keep the apps running in the background and do not tap on close the application icon, which is not acceptable. We close the recent applications habitually.
Any solutions?
In my case it eventually worked for Gmail but Hangout still needed it to be in the background for instant notifications. I have already submitted a ticket to their Chinese bug forum.

Yeah, Gmail mostly shows the notifications, but Yahoo Mail, WhatsApp, IMO, and even mobile banking apps do not show any notification. I miss so many calls and chats because of that. I have enabled run in the background and have disabled the power saving, but most of the apps do not follow the rules. ColorOS kills them completely. I reckon Realme Chinese versions have these issues.

Yea hopefully they will fix some of it with the next update. But on the other hand you don't have to miss those calls and chats. We can still lock the apps in the background for instant notifications in the meantime.
I talked to the company support and told me the next updates will solve this

Hi,
Even if we lock an app in the background, if we swipe up, that app would be closed! We usually do it. Realme and ColorOS should release an update for Chinese version of Realme X2 Pro model to get it fixed.
Same issue
I'm experiencing this issue.. I have a Chinese master gray model.. Such a disappointment when I started using this phone. Had such high expectations.
I never get email notifications WhatsApp works sometimes Facebook sometimes messenger sometimes who knows whatever else works and doesn't work. I went through 250+ apps turning everything on in notifications. My battery is set to high performance all the time.
This has to be the worst phone I've ever owned. Whether it's because it's a Chinese rom or Color OS who knows. Would love someone to find a solution
If i find a solution I'll update you

Please participate in the pool. Your vote is highly appreciated.
I'm on the EU version and GMail will only notify me of emails from my main Gmail account, I don't receive notifications on 3 other email accounts that I have linked to the into the Gmail app. even though its set up to do so.
All,
I thought Samsung said at their unpacked event that they were moving to native Google messages. Mine looks like it is the Samsung messaging app Version 12.1.01.25. Anyone has any nsight on this? I have the s21 ultra 512GB directly from Samsung using T-mo.
A little research -- https://9to5google.com/2021/01/15/galaxy-s21-google-messages-pre-installed/
Not installed in the US... Why?
It was always only for non-US phones, US phones got stuck with Samsung Messages. We will have to wait for someone to upload the APK so that we can sideload it.
And for anyone wondering the Google Messages version in the Play Store is different and doesn't offer the integrated features that come with the Samsung version of it.
I wish they would stick to one of the two apps, not both. My 21 came with both preloaded and it's getting pretty ridiculous. There's pretty much double apps everywhere now, even a secondary keyboard by Microsoft! And I can't even uninstall them!
I am using the google messages for s20 ultra. I downloaded from the play store just fine
US S21 here. I downloaded from play store. It works but it says "chat features unavailable for this device"

That's on your carrier. RCS and chat features worked fine and activated immediately for me on T-Mobile.

you need to install Carrier Service from play store !
then it will work.

yeah and nothing malfunctions, except I can’t get RCS to work.
EMEA Version came with Samsung Messages.
Installed Google Messages and have chat features in it.
Yeah, it's weird. Just got my s21. Text messages that are being reply to me were still going to my old phone that didn't even have a sim card. Searched and found that Chat features needed to be turned off on the old phone...didn't work either until I just uninstalled the app. Now chat features are not available on the s21. Says to call carrier. Figure it's a network issue holding onto my old device info and not releasing to my new? Maybe it just takes some time.
[Didn't know that Samsung is supposed to have a messaging app that integrated with googles.]

I have exactly the same problem, cannot activate the chat function because the validation SMS does not work either. If anyone finds the solution I am listening.

Thank you! How hard would it be for the Google Messages app to direct users to download the Carrier Service when they try to enable Chat features but are denied. Chat set up immediately after installing Carrier Service.
Edit: I'm on T-mobile with the T-mobile S21 Ultra.
I just removed google messaging app from mine, through ADB.
I was like.. what?? Why are there 2 apps with the same name "messages" in my drawer?
anyway, got rid of it
I have the Verizon version of the ultra and there were no issues with getting Google Messages to work with the chat features. All I did was download and install the app. I also made it my dark messaging app in Settings > Apps > Default apps.
I use T-mobile and and have the s21 ultra unlocked on Tmobile, and I use the google messages and chat features work perfectly fine.
On Tmobile 512 unlocked.
If I want RCS with call and text on other devices .(Play store version, of Google messages does not support Samsung text and call on other devices) I had to go on "U" firmware with TMO carrier services and stick with Samsung messages.
I tried installing Google " NATIVE"messaging for Samsung. That apk that was posted in another thread and it would not install.
Also it does not seem that continue app on other devices is working either .
My tab s7+ and S21 ULTRA are both on 3.1 and they have the options enabled ,but no
Worky.
Honestly I prefer the Samsung messages app because it gives an audible notification when you're on a phone call. The Google messages app doesn't. It sucks to be on a call and not know a text message came in. If Google messages would add that simple feature it would be just about perfect.
Question for those that have the Google Messages prebaked in, can one of you upload it for us to use? If I'm not mistaken that is the one that is specifically developed to be themed alongside One Ui. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am using WhatsApp Business as a second instance of WhatsApp. Contact sync is working fine. I did not try cloning WA for that reason. Maybe you can try the business version as well. Works for me.
EDIT: As for your second question, both WA and WA for Business appear in the contacts section, so you can decide which one to use. Also, they have different icons so it is easier to distinguish.
