From Alcatel Idol 3 (6.0.1) to Axon 7 (7.1.1) - Notification problems - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi Folks,
I try to keep my remarks / questions as brief/straight as possible.
Some days ago a huge German electronic-chain called Media Markt offered the Axon 7 for only 229€, for only a couple of hours. I could not resist although I was very satisfied with my Alcatel Idol 3 (4.7) with Android MM.
Now I installed the exact same Apps that I have been using on my Alcatel on the Axon 7 (Android 7.1.1, B04). I do not have the problems that some are mentioning on various fora like connectivity issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell). My settings are Wi-Fi (always on), Cell on (but not data on so far, not in the need to do it), GPS sometimes on, Bluetooth sometimes on, Display very low, no automatic.
I have some weird notification issues with various apps installed by myself and strange behaviour with system apps.
Wherever it was possible, I've chosen the same settings (Energy, Apps) as with my Alcatel on Android 6.0.1.
But, I rarely get notifications (for example AquaMail, WhatsApp, eBay, etc.) or, I hear the notification sound (when my phone was on stand-by) but the symbols are not shown in the status bar, notifications bar?!?!?
Another strange behaviour is that of my podcast app, called Podcast Addict:
I listen to a downloaded audio podcast, pause the playback, for example to get a coffee in the meantime, go back to my phone, unlock the screensaver and the pause symbol that was shown in the notification, status bar on the device before I left the phone, is not there any more!?!?! I have to open the app again to continue listening to the audio file. The exact same applies for the stock music player.
Or, for example I receive a notification for an incoming WhatsApp message, shown on the notification bar, I do not open WhatsApp, the notification symbol should/is still visible, but after the screensaver has been activated (set it to 1 minute) and I have to reactivate the phone (be it by fingerprint or by pattern), the symbol is no longer there.
Another strange thing. The phone was in stand-by, I heard a notification sound, activated the phone, there was no notification symbol on the bar. I knew what App it was, so I opened it and yes, there has been something going on (the App is called Quizduell).
All these bugs (?), problems have never occurred running the Alcatel smartphone.
This is pretty annoying.
I already switched off the phone, wiped data cache, without success.
Maybe some of you can help me out, give me advice on where to look for the problems to be solved.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers Christian

Change the power policy of each app to off which u use mostly in power manager in settings.... It will most certainly help you out..

@germanyandroid Do what the other guy said, that's really impoetant. Also what system are you on? A2017G B02?
I don't know what the Axons are shipping with right now. Be sure to update at least manually to 1.2.0 B02 (that's Nougat), to rule out any system problems. Welcome to ZTE's horrible OTA system...

Hi! Thanks so far for your help. Most notifications are now coming in without changes to the Battery Optimization settings. There is something wrong with these settings, which I will report in a separate thread.
Again, thanks for your help thus far.

Phone won't mute anymore!

i all
I have a LG G watch R, i have had this around 10 months, its paired with my Nexus 5.
Over the past year there has been a few occasions where suddenly the "mute phone alerts and calls" option has suddenly stopped working! *Half way through the day all of a sudden id still get the message on my watch but my phone would make a noise too!
Usually i fixed this by uni stalling android wear, resetting the watch back to factory setting and re pairing them..this usually solved the issue until next time....however!
This time it happened again and no matter what i do it wont work! i have the option to mute phone call and alerts but the phone still makes a noise and is not muted! when i toggle the volume bar it used to say before "muted by android wear" but now it does not.
My phone was updated to android 6.0 last week but for the past week its been fine so i doubt it related to that as like i said its done this before on lollipop.
Few more things to note that may be related, if i swipe down in my notifications box it used to say "android wear connected" but thats no longer there, and if i go into the watch and go into settings and bluetooth devices it does not say anything it just says scanning for nearby devices, and i notced once it said nexus 5 disconcerted??
I must stress that i am connected to my phone as all my notifications come through on my watch fine.
Anyone had this or know a fix?
Thanks

Did you find a solution?
Same problem here. I have moto x play (no developer edition) unlocked bootloader/rooted/lollipop 5.1 and LG G watch R.
In my case it seems related to Moto Display (Motorola'app similar to ambient display). If I disable it, mute comes back.
I tried to uninstall android wear app, and then installing 1.3 version. No fix.
On reddit I read that it should be the last update of Google play service instead: user restored his phone fixing the problem. I tried to uninstall play service (no factory reset)...no fix
EDIT: Ok I have just found a middle-solution. I downloaded a module for Xposed (True silent Mode), after activation you will not able to receive any vibrations or sounds on your phone, but you'll receive a vibration on your watch instead. It's similar to android wear function, the difference is if you disconnect your watch you have to disable the silent mode on your phone manually. Hoping Google (or Motorola in my case) fixes it soon in the meantime...
Looks like we are not alone: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/android-wear/mute
https://productforums.google.com/fo...context-place=topicsearchin/android-wear/mute
I see other reports and see the issue myself where android wear often says that the watch isn't connected anymore while the watch says it is. And voice commands etc. on the watch still works (I guess they go directly through GMS not involving the android wear app itself).
Maybe there is a bug between android wear and the detection of the connected watch that keeps thinking android wear that no watch is connected and then not muting the notifications on the phone.
Do you have the cloud sync enabled? It's in "privacy & personal data". I have.
Hi still have the same issue, and yes my watch thinks it's not connected also
I have tried both cloud synced and un synced
Try putting your watch on charge, then taking it off
It worked for me, you will notice when on charge the ph is connected but notifications are not muted
I think the ph must think the watch is charging...
The latest wear app version fixed it for me.

MX4 - Apps Push Notification delay or dead!!

Flyme Version of my MX4 is 4.5.6A (Andorid 5.0.1)
Guys, This is about MX4, I have been using this as my secondary device for sometime and I’m seeing a serious problem for a while. I don’t know whether other MX4 users using the similar problem. So the problem is all about the push notifications from the third party applications like Whatsapp, Viber, Kik, Hike Messenger, Yahoo Messenger etc gets delayed when the phone is connected to WiFi.
- When the phone screen is ON or if I’m not allowing the phone to go to an sleep mode the notifications are pretty to quick.
- When the phone goes to a sleep mode, I still get notifications with a time difference of less than 2 mins from sleep mode.
- But sometimes when the phone is idle and if there is any whatsapp message or any push notifications it won’t alert, unless I unlock the phone open that particular app.
- Under the permission settings I even gave the access to Auto Start for those apps, but the problem remains the same.
Since the time I bought this phone, I see this problem. Thought it might by be a bug on the software initially. But even after many updates the problem remains the same. So I thought I will ask you guys if there is a fix around. Please HELP!!
I have the same issue with my Meizu M2 Note. I even killed (totally removed from the phone) Security Center, so it shouldn't rule apps. Here I just stumbled and don't know what to do.
Yeah I think it's security centre being a bit over zealous. I converted whatsapp, Facebook messenger, etc as system apps using titanium and it seems to work

Push notifications not working while screen is off

I've recently switched over from iOS to a Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 8. During the first week everything worked just fine. I was receiving push notifications on a regular basis. A few days ago suddenly notifications stopped working intermittently when screen is off. I couldn't find a pattern really. It does it both on Wi-Fi and 4G, for all apps. Sometimes push notifications work, sometimes they are delayed (receiving them after a few minutes) and sometimes they do not work at all.
Each time it doesn't work when I turn on the screen, all notifications pop up with both sound and visual.
What I checked so far:
- Notifications turned on for the specific apps and allowed on lockscreen
- Apps were also put into the "Unmonitored apps" under Device Maintenance - Battery
- Wi-Fi on during sleep set to always
- Data saver turned off
- Optimize battery usage - checked that the apps are set to off
- Even tried by enabling Always On Display setting - same behavior.
For me it seems that the something in the battery optimization process is messing up with the notification service. I can't say for sure if it happens for messages as well as I don't receive text messages so often, but it happens for all other apps: Gmail, Whatsapp and some other apps I use.
I noticed that under Optimize battery usage there are a lot of system services and they are all set to be optimized. Which I find very odd considering that probably some of them are very important for the system to run properly. Is it possible that there is a service there that handles notifications and I should switch off battery optimization for it as well? The only name I found close was a service called "notification" which I disabled, but without success. Still not getting push notifications.
Any idea what else can be checked? If I cannot find a solution to it I will most probably go back to iOS as this is very annoying. I heavily rely on notifications for work purposes as well.

Any owners of the Redmi Note 7 see problems & bugs?

I've had the Redmi Note 7 for a couple of days now and I've picked up some issues. It would be good to know if anyone else pick up on this or found solutions.
1) Google Maps causes GPS to lose lock if 4G network is in use:
I've set the "Preferred Network" setting to "Prefer 3G" (instead of "Prefer LTE"), then Navigation works flawlessly.
I've used the "GPS Test" app from the Play Store to test if the GPS actually works while connected to a 4G network - it does actually lock. The moment Google Maps is launched, GPS loses lock and GPS Test app reports much lower SNR values.
[UPDATE] I also tested this with Waze and the same issue is present. All is fine with 4G enabled until you start navigation - then GPS loses lock...
[SOLVED] 2) Gmail and Outlook push notifications seem to not work - no matter what settings I change:
I've Googled this problem and tried all the suggested settings for making it work - like setting battery optimization to "No Restrictions" and allowing all types of notifications and setting it to be "Important" instead of "MIUI decides", also locking the apps in the recent apps view. Nothing that I do makes it work. (Whatsapp notifications work though.) Outlook has a "Test push notifications" button that just throws an error when pushed...
[*NOT A* SOLUTION] I got fed-up trying all kinds of settings so I did a factory reset, miraculously got it set to English again, installed all the Google stuff and installed the latest Google Play apk that I could find (simply updating didn't work). Push notifications work now and the "Test Push Notifications" function in Outlook actually returns a "Success!" prompt. - This worked for a day or so....
[SOLUTION] I installed the PNF app (Push Notification Fixer) to make push notifications work...
Any confirmation of the above issues (and possible solutions) will be much appreciated.
Install or reinstall Google services seems to fix the GPS problem, ( it's work for me)
I'm using this link :
https://www.androidexplained.com/redmi-note-7-install-google-play/
Now, I have quick GPS fix with 4G/LTE enabled!
So perhaps it's simply an app bug?

Thanks for the info.
I'll try re-installing Play Services tonight (when I'm back on WiFi). I have installed a newer version of the Play Store than was installed by that Google Installer - to make push notifications work (for a day). Now I had to install the PNF app to make push notifications work permanently :-/

you saved my life. I bought the CN version and thought there would be no way to install play store without rooting.
It's resolve many little bugs with some apps too.
Problems with Redmi note 7
I am using redmi note 7 from a couple of days. Problems that I noticed are:
1) proximity sensor not working properly. I did check in CIT test, its not responding. When i restart phone it is working.
2) when someone accepts your call then phone should vibrate. But mine is not vibrating. I have done a check over settings, in settings it is there that phone will vibrate when someone accepts your call.
3) I have problems with touch also. It is responding to every rubberized things like earphones wires, my backpack etc. My previous phone don't do that.
4) Phone is unable to block unwanted gestures while placed in pocket. For example when i am talking in a call while placed in pocket using earphones, my call is getting cancelled due to these unwanted touches with cloth of pockets. This will also come under proximity sensor issue.
So far everything is great, after factory reset that is, since before it was so laggy that I was pissed off enough to bring it back. But since factory reset, everything is fine. Still encounter occasional stutter here and there, but updates will fix that, I guess.
P.S. camera on this is phenomenal.

I'm struggling with the exact same issue (highlighted) here, using Redmi Note 7 as well. When I'm using my bluetooth earbuds and the cellphone is in my pocket, something is making the music stops for less than a second and then again and again until I stop walking. First I was thinking that could be a bluetooth connection issue, now I'm afraid that it is like you said, a touch or proximity issue. I don't know what to do.
Notifications are bad, took me so long to get Gmail to work!
Also my ambient display just doesn't work at all.
WhatsApp keeps not acknowledging contacts.
This is my 1st time on miui and I really regret it, the os just messes with every single app!
I figured this helps somewhat:
Settings>battery& performance>chooseapps>press the dots in top right>showsystemapps>longpressanyapp>select all>pressmoreatthebottom>norestrictions. See if that helps =) good luck lol
my bug is about battery, 100 to 97% real quick in less than 2 minutes sot. but significantly less drain 97 lower. my sot can last up to 10-11 hours btw.
When I receive or make calls, the remote end experiences a lot of echo.
The work around is to turn off the speaker phone when making calls or receiving calls.
Another issue is if I use headphones then I get local echo!!
It appears the problem could be due to the fact that I have a Chinese version running Global ROM - not 100% sure but it appears to be so.

Battery stats aren't that accurate so as long as you get those long sots you should be fine.

Android 9.0 - delayed notifications

Hello,
recently I decided to update my Mi A1 to Android 9.0. Unfortunately it turns out that I have a big problem with notifications. Sometimes they come "normally", at the time they should. However, it often happens that notifications appear with a delay of 10-30 minutes. Sometimes they don't even come at all until I turn on the screen. In this case of course I am talking about the lack of notifications when the phone is unused. However, I once had a case when notifications from Facebook Messenger did not come for more than 3 hours, despite the use of the phone - car navigation, browsing the Internet, notes, etc. Messenger didn't show notifications of new messages until I opened it. I've tried to turn off the adaptive battery mode, but it did not help. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Everything worked well on Android 8.0, but I do not feel like going back to it again.
