Alarm and Gmail notification not working - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have new Xiaomi 8 with china ROM. (updated to latest stable version)
I have problems with alarm clock that not working.
Gmail app also doest show notifications.
I choose not restrict on battery saver for these apps but still doesnt work.
any idea ?

Almost all notifications like that are not working on the Mi 8.
Not on the always on display, statusbar etc.

I just got this bug too after the 9.6.7 Global OTA yesterday. All my notifications are muted now no matter what volume you set it to.

I found a solution. Give the apps auto start permissions

Cannot alter Gmail notification settings

Hi
I am having a very odd problem on my Mi 8, Global Rom, MIUI 9.6.1
If I try to customise Gmail notifications (Nofications>>App notifications>>Gmail) I can adjust the basic notification settings.
But if I go into the Gmail app and try to adjust the more specific notifications settings there, nothing works:
Gmail>>Settings>>General settings>>Manage notifications There are sliders for notifications for email, attachments etc. But when I slide them and exit the page, if i go back in they have reset themselves.
and
Gmail>>Settings>>[email protected]>>Manage notifcations I cannot change the importance level, and if I turn on Blink light and exit the page, when I go back in it has turned itself off again.
As a result, I have almost no control over the notifications in Gmail.
I have uninstalled all Gmail updates and reinstalled. But it made no difference. Is this a conflict between MIUI notifications and stock Android notifications? Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks
Same issue
I have the same issue, with the same ROM.
I've tried everything I found on the internet on this subject, without any results.
I just don't get Gmail notifications. All remaining notifications work just fine. Also tried with Inbox instead of Gmail, but still no notifications!
Same on 10.0.0.3
Anyone managed to solve this?
I have same problem, can't change Gmail (also Chrome) notification settings.

Alarm Clock (MIUI Clock) and Lockscreen

I have an problem with my Mi9 with the alarm clock.
My lockscreen is secured by pin or fingerprint. When I set an alarm to wake up, an the clock rings, I have to unlock the phone before I can use the turn off buttons on the screen. Early in the morning this is very annoying .
I could not find any permissions according to miui clock, to override the lockscreen. When i install the google clock or any other i can give the app the permission to overide the lockscreen
The strange thing is, when I test the clock (for example alarm in 5 minutes), the buttons on the screen appears without the need to unlock. The problem seems to appear only when the clock should ring in the next hours
A factory reset is already done, with the same behavior.
Has anyone a suggestion to solve this problem?
This bug was introduced a few builds ago, it's caused by Do Not Disturb mode. You need to have the DND to goes off before the alarm.
I personally never had this problem

You are right, I have DND enabled during night.
I scheduled the dnd mode to disable 10 minutes before my alarmclock rings.
The last two mornings it works like a charm
thank you
I have DND schedule from 23.00 to 08:00and my alarm set to 7:15, and it rings every single day since i have the phone, and can disable alarm or snooze it from lock screen.
I was on EEA stable, on global beta, and now on xiaomi.eu 9.8.29, never had one single incident with alarm...
Same problem here...
Same problem with my phone as well. I do not set DND.

Notification shade, Sort notifications by time chronologically

I am coming from iPhone to MI9 and I think the way notifications is show in the notification shade is not really usable.
I want the newest notification (group) to be on the top. So I don't have to search all notification shade for what app created the last notification.
Here a samsung S8 guy explaining it in details and with screeenshots:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/sort-notifications-time-t3794586?nocache=1
I am on Stable Global MIUI 10, newest version.
Did anyone find a solution for this ?
My Xiaomi Mi9 does not have a sort notifications and also not the priority settings. The blackberry hub is also not really the perfect answer as I want to use the normal apps for my daily life.
I search and even tried a load of apps for notfication logs, new shade and so on. Nothing is really usable.
It can also be an app for replacing the shade.
I also really miss that I can interact with notifications on the lock screen
No one knows a solution ?
Or a MIUI alternative rom that allows this ? I want the MIUI camera app

Notification Badges, vibration...

I have searched her for a similar problems, and I couldn't find the answer to my issue. I am on global MIUI 11.0.5
I am having a problem with notification badges, ever since the ROM update.
I was using Tesla launcher pro, and now I Poco launcher, no matter what I do, I can't get notification badges to work.
Also I get a WhatsApp call, the screen doesn't light up anymore, and when on silent mode, vibration for WhatsApp doesn't work.
Thank you in advance.
There is a lot of settings for notifications in MIUI 11, there is per app in app properties and there is a notifications option in settings, where you can forbid per app usage of notification badges and lock screen. It's confusing but gives very flexible notifications setup. Just check all this options, may be this is the problem.
btw AOD have it's own settings for notifications and DND also.
I have this problem in the other way. I have activated vibration only for some special notifications, like group messages in WhatsApp but my Mi 9 vibrates everytime I get a notification from WhatsApp

Question Alarm Apps AmDroid or Alarmy not working well

i tested both apps. Given all permissions, autostart,no battery optimization, all notification and so on.
i set up a alarm, now i have an icon and a message in statusbar for next alarm.
So if swipe all open apps away in miui launcher, by swiping long up those apps i mean.
Than is the icon and message in statusbar away and no alarm anymore.
With original Clock there is no problem.
I also testet AmDroid and Alarmy to make them to system apps. It is the same situation.
Any solution or tipps for alarm apps?
