Push notifications not working for some apps - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Seems 3t struggles with same issues like it's predecessor, not receiving push notifications from some apps. In my case it's gmail and nine. For whatsapp it works fine.
Despite all apps I need are excluded from battery optimization not changing anything. Anyone experiencing same issue?

not recievin push nots either. wat does i do about it

Did you, by any chance, used Titanium Backup to restore apps from another phone?
If so, there you are. Apps with push notifications doesn't work properly if restore with Titanium.
Reinstall them from the play store.

Nope

I have the same problem with Newton (ex Cloudmagic) and I have installed manually and set it up.

I dont in fact see any pattern when notifications are working and when they are not working
Sometimes I am getting instant notifications, sometimes I have to unlock phone to receive them. Excluding apps from battery optimization does not make any difference

I use the phone and Newton for almost one week and I did not see any notification from the app at all and I receive a lot of emails daily.

Do you guys have blocked play services for backrgound connections?
I had done that and didnt recieve any notificiation anymore.

The Doze mode from developer options is the one causing it.

And how we fix that? I've got the same problem with the OnePlus 3 using Deviant Art app and I'm worried to have the same issue with the 3T!

have you noticed any improvement after updating to 3.5.4?

Try the following:
Step 1: Go to Settings > Battery
Step 2: Go to "Battery optimization" option from the top-right menu icon.
Step 3: Select "All apps" from the options to bring the list all the apps on which doze mode is enabled.
Step 4: Choose any of the apps on which you need to disable doze mode.
Step 5: Tap "Don't optimize" and then hit "Done".

This was my first thing to check - unfortunately didnt worked.

i need 10:crying:

Just wanted to bump this thread and see if there's a fix? Getting push notifications on Nine is extremely important for my job. I only get them reliably if I'm actively using my phone. "not optimized" for aggressive doze does not seem to help.

only the stock rom has this issue i was using grond zero rom but since i got my device from last 4 days , but has some issues like GPS and touch issue so i wanted to see if i have those issues in stock rom too or not so i flashed yesterday 4.0.2 and my notifications are also not working unless i open the app

Try switching on for required apps under Settings - Apps - Click Settings icon - Apps auto-launch....

That seems to have fixed the issue I have had with podcast addict not automatically updating.

This is exactly the same for me.
Gmail is the main App affected by this problem, but it is not the only App.
I tried the following settings (see screenshots - in French - in the attached file) :
- disable Doze mode in the Developer Options
- In the Battery Menu :
- Disable the aggressive doze and app hibernation option
- Disable the auto-close of "greedy" application
- In the App Menu/Setting Icon/Special Access/Battery Optimisation I white listed my fav Apps (Gmail, WhatsApp, ...)
None of this settings have totally solved the problem, which is really anoying for Gmail as I miss some important info because of delayed notifications (and sometimes no notification at all).
I opened a ticket at OnePlus : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/random-delay-with-push-notificatio-ns.500958/
EDIT : I'm running the last version of OOS and doesn't use Greenify or such a kind of optimisation App

"Heartbeat fixer" app in Play Store did the trick for me! Also you have "push notification fix" in Play Store. Gime them a try.

accessibility services keep turning off

My phone is rooted and installed twrp.
I have problem, accessibility services keep turning off. I enabled greenify in accessibility but after couple minutes is turn to off.

What the f*ck turn my services off?
Same thing is happening to me. Any idea how fix it?
Same happening to me
At first try to add these apps to all possible whitelists of Huawei power management apps. It should not be cleaned by RAM manager and should be left not closed when screen is off. It helped here.

I put greenify in protected app and for now is ON in accessibility. Last 2 day working ok.

Yet another EMUI "feature". Hating when it happens to me as well, though I do have mixed luck with whitelisting the apk in question (where ever you can - why the hell do we have both the battery keep-running-with-screen-off feature, and the "ignore optimizations" crap? And what does this even do?).

Same here with Roboform password manager on Mate 9 with EMUI 5.0 . All system settings give it permission and exemption from optimization. But accessibility is turned off after a very short time of the phone screen being off. There has to be something strange going on.

Strange this has not been fixed.
IMHO Huawei or EMUI should let us manage the system whitelisted apps..
It is obvious that the phone administrator is not enough to ensure we can leave opened on background 100% sure some apps... My telegram app from time to time also appears stopped.. Mmmm "strange" but easy to solve for huawei's developers if they were interested in
So strange^2

Actually I have found that it is a feature not a fault. I rang up Huawei to ask for help.
What you need to do is go into Settings (swipe down from top, then cog wheel) > Battery > Close apps after screen lock
Then scroll down to your 'problem' app, and switch to off.
You might be surprised at the apps that have managed to get themselves set to off. I certainly was.

Even having setup properly battery optimisation to be ommited, keep open when close and whitelist on clean up sometimes telegram gets close... We all (or most of us) know.about that options to be setup but Huawei maintains a "hidden" apps whitelist like Google apps that are permitted to be run on background ... We know is not a big and we want to have full control of which apps.to permit 100% of time not decided by Emui. That's the point.

(How to Fix) Not receiving notifications fix!

With the way Huawei forces their "power saving" down our throats you are likely not getting all of your notifications for things like news apps and social media apps etc. I like their idea on trying to find ways to consume less battery, but man they are aggressive on the way they do it. Here is a fix that should work on all Huawei branded phones.
Step 1: First go to settings, advanced settings, battery manager and then to protected apps. Look for the app that you want to receive notifications from and then select "protect it".
Step 2: Go to settings, apps, advanced, ignore battery optimizations, then find the app and ignore it. This sounds kind of weird when you select ignore the app, but actually this means to allow it to run....... basically you are telling battery optimization function to ignore that particular app. Also known as "Doze"
Step 3: Go to settings, notifications panel & status bar, notification center, then find the app, then activate "allow notifications" and also "priority display". You must select priority or you won't get the notifications.
Works perfect for me. I spent countless hours trying to figure out why I didn't get notifications from my news apps and it drove me crazy. BTW....I have not experienced any battery drain at all.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO HIT MY THANKS BUTTON!!!
Solution already brought up on the 4th of July!

Hi, I have to say that Step 3 is not convincing.
Enabling priority display allow notification to appear during "do not disturb" mode. I don't want to be woke up during the night.

That is correct, but if you don't set priority you won't get the notification . Been there and done that ready. You can try not setting priority and see if works different for you, but when I turn off priority for the app I do not get the notification.
Please let me know if yours works differently as I am interested.

If you are right, then Huawei software developer must be brainless. For god sake, why on the earth getting a simple notification is so freaking complicated??
I'll try to set priority notifications, but even if it works it's not a solution for me.
I'll let you know man.
Thank you.
This one is working for sure, i found this solution out myself.
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.

This sure would have been nice to have had this info prior to my 2 days of trial & error to get things working. As I do not receive or read all news outlets in regards to this phone, as is the case with many others, this was my sole purpose of my posting it here for others. In July I wasn't even considering this phone....actually I didn't even know this phone existed then. Another reason for my posting the info here. Luckily we have this forum as a go to place.

I uninstalled phone manager, the method worked and got rid of it, Now I get better notifications but I'm still having the issue, still some notifications are not shown.
Deleting it does not solve 100% of the problem!

No push notifications in standby

Hi together,
I don't get push notification fro Whattsapp Messages and Aquamail mails in standby. After unlocking the Screen, all notifications are coming...
I already tried to deactivate batter optimization...it doesn't help.
Can anyone help me?

Allow unlimited data access, whitelist from battery saving, and allow to run in background.
Allow the app to ignore battery optimization too

I've tried all the suggestions here and still have trouble. I'd leave my phone for an hour or so, turn the screen on and a whole bunch of notifications come pouring in from WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger etc.
My settings are:
1. Apps -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation -> Not Optimised (for all my email and messaging apps)
2. Battery -> App Launch -> Manage Manually (for all my email and messaging apps)
3. Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Data Saver -> Off
Is there anything else I need to do? This is a serious problem for me and quite frankly, I need to get a new phone if this keeps happening.

Thanks for your help, I've discovered the issue now. I don't remember if someone mentioned this earlier and I'm not sure how I missed it, but the issue wasn't the apps closing when the phone went to sleep (since I did everything to make sure they didn't close), the problem was that the phone would switch off LTE and/or Wifi when the screen is off. The setting that controls this is in: Settings - Battery - More Battery Settings - Stay connected when device sleeps. Make sure this is turned on (it was turned off for me before).
I feel almost certain this was turned on in the past and feel it was only turned off in one of the firmware updates. I most certainly would never have turned that off. I can't believe they would use that as a default option since I can imagine only the most battery conscious users would want that off. They should at least have an option where the phone would automatically turn data back on periodically to check for notifications. I know there are third-party apps that do this but if they're going to include an option like that built-in, they should do it properly.
Anyway, problem solved, hope this helped someone else out there.
I have the same issue, but Stay Connected is on, and has been for as long as I've had the problem (2-3 days). No new apps, no new updates, affects all my apps. Driving me nuts. Anything else than doing a full wipe left to try?
same here, till yesterday everything was working fine, i didn't install a new app, configuration of battery settings, data background running is the same, also app locked in recent to run backround as before. update i did before 3 weeks. very strange
I'm very sure this problem occur since the newer software update, my device have same issue.
You can check how to remove PowerGenie (the huawei stock battery management), removing PowerGenie 'might' help you fix it.
I called Huawei and asked, and got a fix! It's not a huge lump of fun, but this is it:
Settings - System - Reset - Reset all settings
Note: all your stuff is still there after reset. Only thing that happens is that it forgets your wlans, your fingerprints, face recognition, lock screen pass/pattern, and all kinds of logins and permissions on your apps. And your apps will jump out of folders and make a hell of a mess. But it worked splendidly for me, notifications are popping up as they should, when they should. Gave me a nice chance to re-arrange my apps even.
Happy thoughts to Huawei (Norway) for having customer service available on the phone, on a regular number, and answering within a few seconds.

I just did it today and it was a complete lost of time. In addition of losing all settings (bluetooth, Wifi, applications and folder on launcher,...) it was not helping with notifications: no Outlook, no WhatApps, no banking app... In other word, nothing, it was worse than before.
I will continue to test settings like controlling launching applications and exclude applications from battery optimization.

Surely, and even between firmware versions.
Thanks for sharing tips.
Have a good day
Is it just push notifications you're not getting or are messages not coming through at all until device unlocked/app opened? I've been trying all sorts, searched "data" in settings and stumbled upon "unrestricted data access" all apps are disabled on this. Hoping next few hours will show that's me sorted finally.
Once my screens been off 15 minutes, friends WhatsApp msgs only show 1 grey tick their end until I open WhatsApp again

OneUI upgrade: notification issues

Hi all,
I have a Note 9, specifically SM-N960F (HW MP 0.700), its an Exynos I bought in Australia.
Samsung doesn't seem to have community forums in Australia, and the US one needs one to use an American ZIP code to sign up.
After my upgrade to OneUI, there may have been a few notification issues in the beginning, but later they've become worse. Quite a few apps don't notify, this issue is especially with G-Tasks, an app for reminders and lists. I don't actually remember Gmail working for a long time either, I have to manually open it to check for emails.
Even if I open the G-Tasks app a few mins before a reminder is supposed to be triggered, it won't happen. In developer settings, at the bottom there is a heading called "standby apps", where is seems is the only way to set apps to "active" so they don't automatically get put to sleep.
There doesn't seem to be any list or setting in the battery section in maintenance to select apps that never get put to sleep.
I've seen this link, but it doesn't seem to change anything:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/one-ui-notifications-problems-and-fixes/
So, most other notifications work, but Gmail, G-Tasks and likely a few others don't. I've set both of these apps to "Active" in the standby apps section in developer options and also checked their own notification settings, disabled, then enabled their notifications, and nothing changed.
Any advice?
Thanks
Have you also confirmed that they are not enabled in 'Sleeping Apps' and 'Optimize battery usage'? Yes, OneUI did mess up with battery settings organization so here's how to navigate to each of these:
Sleeping Apps: Settings > Device Care > Battery > Settings on TDM in top right > Sleeping Apps. You can also play with other settings here.
Optimize Battery Usage: Settings > Apps > Special access on TDM in top right > Optimize battery usage.
PS: TDM is acronym for 'Three-dotted menu'.

Hi Paras,
Thanks for your advice, I've had a look and only Maps was set as a sleeping app. I've always have power mode set as medium and have just set it to optimising to see if that helps anything. It previously didn't affect my important notifications.

With medium power saving, is 'Restrict Background Data' ticked in your case? That will cause apps to only download data (and thus, notification) when they run in foreground. Each app can also be restricted or whitelisted to download data in background.

Hi Paras, yes, good point, I tried it by unticking the apps using wifi and mobile data in the background so that it only had "Limit CPU speed" ticked, and reduce brightness by 10%, and screen resolution to FHD+.
Gtasks still didn't trigger, I've put the power saving to optimised again and thats only when it works.

Reset the app preferences. Keep the app whitelisting or blacklisting as default. And then enable medium power saving without restricting data. You never know which service is responsible for fetching notifications.

Hi Paras,
Yes, I've also questioned which system service handles notifications and if there are settings or configs related to it.
For resetting app preferences, to you mean the individual apps and seeing if there is a button to set everything back to defaults? Are you referring to deleting cache? I've deleted cached for both Gmail and Gtasks apps a couple of days ago and it didn't seem to make a difference.
For black and whitelisting, are you talking about sleeping and disabled apps in the battery settings?
In developer settings, at the bottom there is the standby apps section and I've put Gmail as "working_set" as that seems to be what many other apps are.

- There are different services for showing notifications for different apps. For GApps, find anything related to Google.
- Find Reset App Preferences option on menu in 'Apps'.
- Apart from battery settings, Apps > Special Permissions > Optimize Battery Usage.

Hi Paras,
Thanks a lot for your advice, I've tried this for a couple of days now and it seems to work, I think the likely issue was to select certain apps and disable "optimisation" in the apps section.
Man, I only went into Apps to check permissions and maybe "Force Stop", I had no idea they'd bundled extra settings, including power management, crazy, they should have this in the battery settings.
Loads of other people must be having issues with certain apps, its important for people to easily isolate their important apps when they don't work, so Android just lets them run as normal, even under battery savings.
Thanks, you've helped me solve my problem.

Yes, I agree, these settings are hard to find and that's what made me initiate this guide. Glad that I was able to help.

Thanks very much, will look through it, I may even write to Samsung about it for them to make it easier, especially for battery management.
Fisher
I emailed Samsung Australia,
They replied saying they've forwarded my advice to the main office.
I linked in this thread in my email to them, hopefully they'll see your guide Paras.
I was shocked to learn how complicated these settings have become, thanks a lot.
It was very weird how after searching, I never came across it on the net.
I'll mention if Samsung contacts me again over this, hopefully a simple move or addition of the battery optimised app list from the Apps section in the main settings list to the battery settings in General Maintenance will happen to put all battery management related items in one place.
Fisher
Thank you for the support, man. Wish you a great experience with your beast!

MIUI.EU have some suspicious activities on my k20 pro

I have recently installed miui.eu on my phone and for some reason i opened my privacy manager and saw this, i was astonished by this,
My device was automatically screen recording and i see no recordings in the recording app.
The timings of app opening are exact same as opening my banking and social media apps (maybe!!, Most of them are so a innocent guess).
I guess i need to go towards some stock android roms. If i am wrong don't bash in comments please explain i will understand. Thank you
EDIT:
1. Yes i disabled the screen recorder many times after this but still saw same results then i took the screenshot
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
EDIT 2:
1. The service/app was started only when i used the phone and never when it was on sleep. (Maybe deepsleep/automatic app killing)
2. I disabled the app and it was still in use. (makes absolutely no sense)
3. I respect all the hardwork from the developers, staying up day and night for making these possible (miui 12 eu), I maybe wrong but will wait until some clarification.
4. Sorry devs and Thank you for your hardwork.
And all other apps that needed the autostart permission was denied by privacy manager but this app is allowed every single time.
You're scaring me[emoji102]

Okayyyyy I just had a look too, same as you eu.miui and the list is even longer. This is kind of...strange.
Just to add force stopping doesn't work even with autostart off. It seems to show 'started by system ui' every time I open discord or telegram which is very worrying. I think in the meantime until we get some answers to this I'll go a stock android custom rom too.

Go settings, apps then screen recorder or hold down the icon and tap app info.
You're looking for app behaviour it should be the 4th option down.
Also happening in MortalOS, maybe a miui12 thing
It does open randomly, doesn't open specifically for banking apps for me. I think it's got to do with its quicksetting or something but I don't think it's recording anything
It launches because you've Screen recorder tile on QS tiles, that's why it's on App behaviour. It's not a bug and issue, System UI have to check tile state and must interact with app directly for that. It's not an issue at all.
You can remove Screen recorder tile and should be fine.

That's what I was thinking since it did the same thing with blokada even though I wasn't even using it

What about the other apps that autostart by themself where I already set them to not autostart.
In my case I'm just opened the telegram but some of my apps autostart by themself even I already set them off. Even the mail apps that I never open
Is that normal?
The screen recorder already disabled by now
Thanks in advance

Disable what you don't use, also I think system apps are able to bypass permissions. The rest of the apps that you showed appear to have had their permission denied though
I got the same story on mix2s. I have rolled back to miui10
EDIT /Update :
1. Yes i had disabled the screen recorder many times after i saw this for the first time but still saw same results then i took the screenshot.
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
Smae issue with masik, it even shows 3mb data used. Can anyone dig into these roms and see if spyware is installed
The issue might be related to Gausian blur / which is triggering gausian blur .. when you are accessing the control centre
to check : do one thing.. change your notification style to old one and see ..
i once tried IOS control centre, to show blur it used to ask some strange permission, and cast symbol used to activate when ever that blur comes active ..
so i think.. : bringing down control center, might trigger gausian blur, which is related to screen recorder ( somehow) .

Permission denied after I saw strange behaviors.. What will happen if they were autostarted and has the permission. It's a disaster.
I hope it's just a bug
See this Dropbox behavior
Launch by a file.. And I don't even touch the Dropbox apps before
How it could be?
Thanks

You probably opened a file, either way I think it's just paranoia and normal behaviour that would happen on any android version, only difference is that it is logged
Edit: I'm exploring this feature a little bit more, apparently it logs when apps try to autostart and notifies even if they are denied. Looking at your screen you denied autostart permissions for Dropbox for example. Your concern if I understood correctly is that "files" app launched Dropbox, that is because the privacy feature also logs what process launches the app, so for example if you interact with a newly downloaded file and Dropbox is somehow required to view it or sync or whatever the files app is gonna request the Dropbox app to launch. This also explains why disabling autostart for screen recorder doesn't work, that is because it won't start on its own but other apps (system UI) still can, if you are super concerned about privacy regarding the screen recorder you can use ice box to freeze it or uninstall via ADB. However it's probably because it's integrated with the system UI service to some extent and it periodically starts it if it goes out of ram, the privacy log feature records everytime it is launched in memory.
