Problem with settings or phone? - Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers

Hello everyone. I have the Asus zenfone 4 max and I am having a little issue.
With certain apps. (Whats App, Messenger Lite) If I have not used the apps in a while (more than 24 hours) and I get a message. I do not get a sound or led notification. However If I happen to pick up the phone the notification will show in the drop down menu of the phone.
This only happens with the first message. After the first message and I start using the app. I will get sounds and led notifications after every message. Unless I don't use the app for a while. Then the same issue happens.
I've reviewed all settings and I can not make sense of it. Phone is not rooted.
Appreciate any help!

Still looking for help on this. Any advise?

Mate 8 Hangouts Notification Problem

I'm having some problem with hangout's notification on Mate 8:
1) When getting phone call using Hangouts, the phone simply doesn't ring, it only vibrates. Or it would ring just for the first 1-2 seconds then it stops ringing.
2) When trying to get hangouts to answer a phone call, I can only find Hangout's answer button on drop down menu instead of lock screen.
3) If I have a miss call from hangouts it would not show up on my mate 8.
Those problems are rather frustrating - any one of you guys are encountering the same problem that might have a fix?
Allow handouts to run in the background. Also make sure everything is checked for the app in notification center.
I have done that. Problem still exists.

Sorry my friend there is nothing to do....Mate 8 has notification problem with android 6, Emui 4.1 and android doze.
We dont know for sure witch of them has the problem.We hope that Huawei will fix this in the future but i dont believe that this will be fix.Mate 7 had the same problems and the most of Huawei phones.
I fixed that by enabling "Keep mobile data on when sleeping" by hitting the gears icon in the upper right in the battery manager app. When that is off is the only time I have experienced a "notification issue" on this device, which makes perfect sense because its disabling data.

Not recieving some texts

So I got this phone and its pretty cool. Camera sucks compared to my lumia 950xl but its no big deal. It had happened several times where I don't receive texts from people. Tried doing some research and some people had experiences that if they were to close the app via the multitasking window, they wouldn't receive texts until they opened it and kept it open. Is there a way you can lock the app to running the background always?
Swipe down the app in recent menu. Fyi alarm clock doesn't work u don't swipe down too

2 things I have found on this that should help:
1) In battery > power saving managment > app protection you have to un-toggle the switch to stop apps that you want notifications from to be taken off the list for "auto cleaning".
2) In notification management I manually added "important notice" to all of the apps I need notifications for (amazon driver app, uber, ebay, etc). Also click customize and make sure all of the options are toggled on. All seem to be coming through fine now though in my Amazon driver app for work, they send you a push notification an hour before your shift as a reminder. I haven't been getting them at all on time, also when they send notifications through the app as push notifications to ping us for their Hot Wheels restaurant delivery I'm not getting notification sound for those, but they are showing up in the app for me to receive. Rather odd behavior. I really hope they let us unlock the BL and install normal software or this might become a minor nag that grows into a big one. I kind of commend them on trying to stop rogue apps from sucking battery life, and filter notifications for pestering ones we don't want. But they're causing issues for ones we do want and/or need!

I don't get notifications.

Hi guys, I have a big problem with ZTE Axon 7,
I got the chinese version with Google Launcher and I noticed that I'm not getting notifications properly. It's really annoying , for example when I get an email on Gmail I get the pop up and hear the sound, that I got an email, but when I receive a message on Messenger, or on Viber, the phone do nothing, it's like it's in deep sleep or I don't know, somehow Gmail brings me the notifications but messenger and other applications not, even facebook missing to notify me sometimes that I got a post on my wall or someone replied on my comment.
Everytime I have to reopen the apps every one of them to get notifications, and I noticed that about 1 hour later ZTE somehow close them automatically, in the MI Assistant I set Viber and Messenger to auto-run, but still nothing, what should I do? I don't get notifications. I tried to turn off every Power Saving setting, everything that related to power saving is turned off, I even disallowed the deep sleep for these applications but still nothing, factory and cache reset and still nothing.

I have the US version but I ran into this too with my MagicJack app .. You can try ... though not sure if it will help ... it seemed to help on my MJ app ... going to the recent apps list and find the app that is closing and click the little lock icon in the upper right corner.
I did this because when I cleared the list it would close MJ app and not restart like it would do on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 ... After doing that .. I noticed that it kept running when I left the phone set for a while .. it would still shut down every so often but the app itself has never been real stable so that may be the app itself crashing or something.
So if you "Lock" the apps in the recent apps section ... it may keep them running even if the phone tries to clear out recent apps after it sits for a while.

Thanks for your answer, but I don't find the place where I can change this setting maybe on the Chinese version the settings are different, can you provide me please a screenshot to show me where to change it? Thanks!

lol .. i may have the terminology wrong... but here is a screen shot for you. With that lock enabled even if I click "clear all" and everything disappears from the recent apps list .. MJ .. and as you see I also have Pushbullet locked .. they will continue to run and if I select the recent apps list again .. they will be in there again .. they don't actually get closed .. As I say .. this may keep them from being closed if the Axon 7 closes old recent apps when your phone is inactive for a period of time... but this is only a theory and it may not work .. it may just be that I got lucky and the programs I use keep running for some reason now .. or maybe I just don't notice that they closed and end up opening them again without realizing it.

I tried out the idea that you gave me, no results at all, something is not good in ZTE software, or it's my phone, hope someone can give me a feedback why is this happening with my phone. ZTE A2017. It's really annoying, I have a phone for 400$ and it's not giving me notifications at all, how am I supposed to enjoy being online if I have to check everything everytime manually.

Ok here is something else .. may be odd but may be an issue... have you checked to make sure that you have sounds set to your notifications. There is an option for 'none' so just verify that you have a sound associated with your notifications.... another thing you can check is Settings >Sounds and Vibrations > Do not disturb and make sure this is off... or if you use this feature ... it should show an icon at the top .. make sure that icon isn't there .. I have heard of people saying that the do not disturb doesn't turn off like it is supposed to sometimes .. so if you use it .. and its suppose to turn off at say 6am .. make sure its shutting off ...
If that isn't it... let me clarify something... when you say you aren't getting notifications ... are you getting them but just not getting a sound to let you know you are getting them ... or are you not getting notifications as in ... you have to manually go into an app like your email and check manually for new mail because it isn't giving you any notifications that you have mail. ... basically are you just not getting 'notified' of notifications ... or are you not getting the actual notifications themselves from your apps... (nothing shows up in the notification section/lock screen)

I think i founded the solution you have to go Options>Power Manager>Power management for apps> and disable every slider for the apps that you want to use and the most important step REBOOT THE DEVICE. I did it today morning this change, and nothing happened, but now I rebooted my device, and it seems to work. I get the notifications immediately when I write a message to myself from another phone, thanks JohnOrion for taking time to help!
You can turn off in the MI Assistant the lockscreen background app close feature in the accelator menu, I think you have to turn that off too.

You can also check something else by clicking your volume button and when you see the volume section come on your screen press the little down arrow and make sure that the notification section has volume set on it and isn't muted.

ahh .. the bell thing.. yeah i got rid of that as soon as it was possible I don't think that the US version has MI Assistant .. you are the second person that mentioned it and I don't see that anywhere on my phone and I did a google play on it and it said its not compatible with my phone....
glad you were able to work it out
I'm running into this same issue. Just got my phone two days ago and loving it. However, every so often throughout the day it goes into some sort of deep sleep and none of my notifications come through. I've been missing new emails and hangout messages until I unlock the screen and manually refresh.
This is not a case of not hearing notifications, when I open the Gmail app, it doesn't even display the new messages until I manually refresh it.
Seems to be totally random on when this happens. I've tried checking different power settings and such and nothing really seems to make a difference. I don't even see an option to modify the power settings for the Gmail app, it doesn't show on the list of available apps.
Anyone have any luck? If this continues to be a problem, it could be a deal breaker and will force me to return it. What's the point of having a smartphone that doesn't get emails and messages?

I wish I could give you an answer .. right now .. I truly feel that ZTE realizes that it has made a mistake with the power and ram management .. I'm sure it has been resolved but because of the way things work .. it will probably not be a 'seen' fixed until the next major update which will include Nougat. This update should be here either this month according to Newegg .. or soon after .. it has been verified by one of the ZTE staff that Nougat is in the testing stages now but not verified that it will be out this month... so I'm hoping it wont be too much longer.

Makes sense. Besides the issue with sync, I really like the phone. I love the size and feel. Speakers are truly great. I've got until January 31st to return through Amazon. I'll hang on a short bit longer and see what happens.
Only other option would be the One Plus 3t. Not sure I want to give up the front facing speakers though...

Hopefully you will have the answer before your cut off date it looks promising that you will .. so yeah.. hang in there for a little while longer ... ZTE has been moving fast to get things working .. when you think about it and compare to other manufacturers ... their last update was only about a month or so ago and a very large update is coming very shortly .. that is pretty good in my opinion ... lol but I am coming from an ancient Galaxy S3 so this phone is incredible compared to that even with its strange quarks.
isn't the OP3t also a 1080 screen .. well i guess with this size it doesn't matter but .. lol ... I guess I like the 1440p screen
and yeah I love the speakers on this .. My nephew picked up a V20 because of its sound ... I want to compare it to this .. I bet mine sounds better than his that he paid 2 times the price for ... then again .. that would only be speaker sound .. I'm sure the DAC is actually better in that phone .. I think its like a 64bit one and ours is only 32bit .. but .. never actually followed it .. I love the sound but I'm not so into sound that I know specs of the converters and that stuff I just know the sound that comes out of my phone sounds great and the v20 doesn't have front facing speakers lol ... sorry .. I am a fanboy I guess .. fell in love with this phone .. want to see some of the issues resolved but for me .. I'm lucky .. most of the major ones people complain about don't seem to effect me.
Like not getting notifications .. my email twitch youtube and twitter all come through ... and lol geeky me .. they all get pushed fine to my Pebble watch and my desktop computer without delay .. as far as I have noticed by following the forums .. I get a lot of emails and there is also a counter on the forum that shows notifications and again .. never noticed a significant delay between the two of them and the phone will be sitting inactive for long periods of time .
I am lucky because I don't really communicate like a lot of people do on their phones .. I use it mainly for calls and to play around .. and it works better to notify me of mail than Windows .. so I don't use a lot of online services like spotify .. whatsapp .. and those type of things .. maybe this is why I;m not seeing issues ...
Just had it happen again. I didn't check my phone while watching a movie and decided to check my Huawei watch at the end of the movie. Was checking an old Google now card and all of a sudden my phone lit up with notifications of new Gmails and Pop emails pouring in. They were an hour old.
I'm not really sure what to do. I work for a small company and need my emails. I'm really torn as I really like everything else about this phone, but this might be the killer.
Any suggestions for a similar phone in this price range besides the One Plus 3t?

You might have to disable doze.
sorry to say .. I stopped looking when I decided on the Axon ... I do use BlueMail and get all my mail once I got rid of the power management and locked it in my recent apps list. You could give that program a try and see if it can get past the issue that seems to be ignoring your settings. ... I would suggest installing and setting up BlueMail and adjusting the power settings and locking it in the recent apps list .. then reboot the phone .. just to make sure all the settings take .. double check .. I have seen weird things with the power management settings then see if you still have issues getting mail ... if so .. again ..hopefully the update coming soon will solve the issue if you can wait a little bit .. I know since its business related .. its not something that can wait .... but maybe bluemail is more aggressive in its waking than gmail and maybe it will be able to get your notifications out

Good point, I meant to ask about that earlier. You had noted you don't have the problems with made me think you were using a third party app for email.
I'll check it out and see how it works out. I'm willing to give it a shot.
As for disabling Doze, not sure how to do that with the MiFavor skin on there. Doesn't seem to be a simple option for that.

yeah maybe bluemail will help .. its very nice ... gmail would only let me link 2 accounts and wouldn't let me link my personal imap server so I still always had to deal with 2 boxes .. but with BlueMail ... I can have all my mail in one box with easy access
oh and I'm not familiar with disabling doze either .. maybe awsomjgp can enlighten us both
Was the problem solved with Android 7?
I have Android 6 on the Axon 7 and have the same problem as mentioned.
If the problem was solved by installing Andorid 7, can you tell me a good source where it is explained how to install it on the chinese version of Axon 7. Had much trouble till now. Lucky I payed just 80%€ for it... :angel:
Factory Reset
I solved the problem by doing an unintentional factory reset. After that I had a lot of truebles with Google Play Service but now it seems to be ok. Every time the phone kills some apps, it asks me if I want protect them. But can't find this action under the settings.

Amazfit - no notifications from phone

Got an AmazFit A1602 watch, Chinese ROM. Set it up, updated it, played with PACEified for a few seconds (hadn't figured out how to OTA the stock ROM yet, so it hung-up when screen went off), went back to Chinese ROM, OTA'd it, reset it in English, and that's where I left it for about a week. Worked great, loved the watch. But, coming from a Gear Live (that wore out), I can't stand not getting my notifications on the watch...
So I dug further into it. Replaced the Chinese ROM with the English ROM - now it thinks it's an A1612 PACE. Kewl. Whatever. App works, everything works, repaired the recovery and OTA works (wellp, now I'm stuck on it, after finding the bootloader is now locked). But NOTIFICATIONS still don't work!
Tried it on a different device - my Nexus 7 tablet. Still no notifications.
Tried reinstalling, tried different app versions, tried everything I can find and think of. No. Notifications.
Do they even work for anyone else?
Another thread on the saga: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazfit/comments/61w4ga/most_notifications_not_coming_through_facebook
I might just offer "ad-free" for anyone that can actually help, throw a bounty out there and see if someone can help me. I usually end up asking the hard questions nobody can answer :fingers-crossed:
Probably you've tried this already but it's worth to repeat procedure.
After you paired the watch with your phone, you have to enable notifications in the app, choose witch notifications you want to allow/block and let the amazfit app to access notifications. Last part is usually under Android settings, security. Sounds complicated but it's good to have full control.
Notifications worsk perfectly for me.

Yep, that's the first thing I try - but I appreciate the reply/bump! I think I might throw that bounty out there (if legal to do so) - I'd throw $15 at this problem to get it fixed. Hopefully that's how the donate option works
I enabled notification access to Amazfit app in the Android settings. Under the "notifications" options in the app, I get a miles-long list of apps on the phone, but they are all under the option to "disallow app notifications" -- no apps appear at the top of the page under "Allow app notifications". Presumably the top section is for apps that have sent notifications.
I also "disable battery optimization" and allow contact access for the watch as well.
My phone is a Huawei Honor 5x (kiwi) running CM13 (20161223 nightly) - but also tried on the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet running stock OS, unrooted.
Each app on that list have a switch on the right to enable notifications and move it to the "Allow app notifications".

Screenshots how should look like. Latest dev app does not have push notifications but has another tab. Of course, watch must be connected to the phone to be able to receive notifications. But that's obvious Btw, I didn't touch batter optimization.
Btw, Frys still has the watch on $30 off.
p.s.
Now I see that you're my neighbor

That was it!! Goddamn Chingrish... to me, it looked like that settings page was divided into two - apps that had sent notifications in the past, which I could turn off "allow notifications", and apps that hadn't sent notifications and I could "disallow" them from ever doing so. The Chingrish part is that they should be saying "Allowed" and "Disallowed" notifications... not "allow"/"disallow". It simply doesn't make sense to divide them solely by their switch setting... and since I had no intention of disallowing an app's notifications, I never tried switching ones from the bottom! Also doesn't make a lick of sense to disable them all by default - easily seems like it's malfunctioning. I just went through and switched everything up to "allowed" like it is in Android Wear by default.
Wellp, I got a SMS buzz on my wrist for the first time, and everything is awesome now.
Now I have a new problem...

Just sharing my experience. My notifications stopped working and I went through all the above to no avail. Finally I realised I must have accidentally turned on Silent Mode at some point. It may help to check on your watch that Silent Mode is OFF

Gmail doesn't push notifications to watch
Hi all,
I m experiencing this issue and I really cannot understand what is going wrong and why it does it...i recently purchased amazfit stratos English version and I was not very satisfied with the notifications capabilities..i could only see the first email and read it all way down but if a second mail arrived I could only see the gmail logo and a number( indicating the number of the mails that I have) ..but wasn't able to read each message...very frustrating...same for other apps...Viber and line messenger if I receive more than one message I can only read the last one....so I decide to go with the watchdroid app for the phone and assistant for the watch... everything is running smoothly now,I can even reply to messages (for some reason only sms messages not Viber or line) BUT I do NOT receive my mails from gmail...something that with the amazfit app I could...well I could not read them if they were more than one but the push service was working...with watchdroid gmail push notifications do not work....any help would be appreciated guys!
Thanks in advance,
Stratos

WhatsApp connectivity S8

Hey guys!
I just moved from a rooted LG G4 running Lollipop to the S8 Exynos. It really seems to be a great phone but I'm having issues with WhatsApp.
Sometimes I feel like the messages aren't really coming up in time, I can open the app and see no new message, close the app, open it again and it will reconnect and show me new messages.
It is even more noticeable while using the WhatsApp desktop program on Windows 10. I see a lot of yellow messages saying I'm not connected to the phone OR when I send a messages I see the "clock" instead of the single-double check right away.
My WiFi setting is set to "Always".
I'm not using any battery save option from the phone.
I installed Greenify (not rooted) but WhatsApp is not in the list to hibernate
Any ideas of what is going on? I didn't have this problem on the G4.
have you added whatsapp into the 'unmonitored apps' section in battery settings?
Can you check BBS and see if WA is using crazy amount of sensor usage? Mine is. I had to turn off battery optimization for WA to work.

It is there. I don't remember adding it into the unmonitored apps but it is there.

Sorry, what is BBS?
I've been playing and trying to figure out what is going on. I found out that my phone is running on "optimized" and not in High Performance, Game or Entertainment. Do you guys think this has something to do with it? It shouldn't be this way right? I also have WhatsApp set to ignore any battery save option, according to the app options.
Also, yesterday I turned off my router. I received a message just before turning it off and I saw the notification on the Windows program like I usually do but it took a couple of minutes for the phone to let me know I received a notification, even though the phone had no connection to the internet. lol what?

BetterBatteryStats. No, you should be using optimized.

Thanks! I downloaded the app but I need to do the ADB thing and I left the USB cable at home lol (now I need to buy multiple ones and aren't cheap)
I also noticed that I do receive the visual notifications (like in the notification bar) but the sound and LED notification comes way later.
Anyone solve the sensor issues
I was finally able to solve this problem and decided to put how I did it in case anyone can benefit from it.
I did check that Whatsapp was listed as "Unmonitored apps" in the battery section of device manager, but still had the problem. After further internet research I noticed that people where pointing to the Android's Optimize battery section, which seems that is doing a very similar functionality but is accessed from a completely different place, so make sure Whatsapp is not being "optimized" from here either.
To find this section go to Settings-> Apps -> Click the 3 Dots menu in the top right -> Special access -> Optimize battery usage -> Select "All apps" from the dropdown menu. In here, make sure Whatsapp and any other app that you cannot risk to go to sleep unintended shows as disabled (not being optimized).
Hope this helps someone with this disconnections.
