Gmail push notification does'nt work- somone secceeded to fix it? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi
i have xiaomi mi5s (miui global 8.0.3.0 stable) and i dont get push notification form the gmail app.
i try all the instructors that i found at the internet and nothings fix it, is there somone that know haw to fix it?
i try this steps:
1: Go to settings --> manage apps' battery usage --> choose apps. From there, pick all the apps you want to receive push notifications and select "No restrictions."
2: Go to settings --> permissions --> autostart. From there, pick the apps you want to receive notifications, and toggle the switch to turn it on.
3: Go to settings --> app notifications --> pick the apps you want to receive notifications, then turn the toggle for "Priority" on.
4: Lock the app in the "recent apps"/ "app overview" plane. Do so by first opening the apps, then press the "recent apps/overview button" (that's the square button on stock Android, or the button with three horizontal lines on the Mi Mix). From there, find the app you want to receive notifications, pull down on it to "lock it", so it never gets cleared.
5: This last step requires Developer Options privileges. To enable that, go to settings (man... I'm getting tired of typing "go to settings" ...) --> about phone
--> tap on MIUI version tab like eight times. You should then get a little message saying "you are now a developer." Then head back out to settings, go to developer option, scroll to nearly the bottom, find "memory optimization," and turn it off.

Mine does the same sometimes it's intermittent.

Things like this is why I never use Miui, its a horribly crippled version of Android that just makes life more difficult unnessesarily if you live in a country that allows free access to a service called Google
Never own a Xiaomi phone without removing Miui and replacing with a ROM that works in the real world

i wtire this comment for who will need this solution.
i secceeded to fix the push notification problem by the following
1:I changedmy rom to original miui rom (mine was fake) now i have 8.0.3.0 global
2: go to setting -> sync -> and disabled "wifi only" and enable "sync"
3: Go to settings --> permissions --> autostart. From there, pick the apps you want to receive notifications, and toggle the switch to turn it on.
4: Go to settings --> manage apps' battery usage --> choose apps. From there, pick all the apps you want to receive push notifications and select "No restrictions."
hope it will help..

Also have a look here for some more context: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/how-to/miui-kills-background-processes-solution-t3532397

The guys above me pretty much summed it up - setup autostart for the Gmail app and Google service frameworks, disable MIUI memory optimization and lock the Gmail app (menu button --> slide the app thumbnail down and click the lock icon).
Having done all of this, the push notifications are fine. I use the EU rom 7.3.30 (weekly).

Hi,
I have a brand new Mi 6 which im loving (running the standard default theme), however i have a bit of a problem with Gmail.
Im getting all the notifications, no problem at all. However, the floating notifications do not show a preview of the email i have received for Gmail. I get a floating popup, but all it shows is that i have a new email, it does not show who sent the email or the subject line, nothing.
All my other floating notifications are fine. Whatsapp, outlook, facebook etc, all of them show the floating notification with a small preview of what the message is.
Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas?
I have ALL settings correctly set to receive all the notifications, floating, etc and as i said, i DO receive notifications, they just dont show a preview specifically for Gmail. Im using latest Global Rom by the way.

Auto Connection

Hi,
my Vario V (T-Mobile Version of the TP2) automatically connects to the internet all the time, even after a softreset!
It happens even if no other application is open. Push-Mail is not enabled!
Are there any hints what I can do, to get that fixed?
Best Regards,
Ulaef
Mine too! it connects at a random fashion, even though everything is turned off. Anyone with probable rootcause & solution
Possible solution
Not sure whether this works but this is what I do to disable my TP2 auto connection
1. Disable push emails in activesync
2. In the weather tap, go to menu -> settings -> untick "download weather automatically"
3. In the internet tap, go to menu -> schedule settings -> untick all day & time scheduled download
4. In the internet tap, menu -> data settings -> turn off "push internet"
5. In the people tap, -> all people -> updates and events -> menu -> data connection settings -> untick download data automatically (it downloads every 2 hours).
Hope i didn't miss out anything. Please try and see
Cheers,
Push email and weather update is disabled. The T-Mobile branding has no option for push internet! I removed the registry value. Even in my contact tab i found no event option. Maybe its a feature hidden by t-mobile which is still active!?
Can't wait for HardSPL to get an official HTC-ROM.

facebook for android app | push notifications "fixed"

Hi all,
Sorry if this is old news - but its new to me!
Whilst doing some random googling i stumbled accross another forum where a chap had posted a "fix" he had found regarding the lack of push facebook notifications with the official face book app.
Up untill now it has been the one feature for me that has really let android and my phone down.
I am not sure of the rules on posting link to other forums so I will not do that, though I will run throught the basics below.
This worked for me as well as many others on the other forum. Notifications are instant and I have the polling set to never in the FB app.
You need either a blackberry phone, or to download a blackberry phone simulator to make this work.
1) log out of the FB app on your phone
2)from home screen goto settings, applications, manage applications, facebook and clear data and cache
3)log into your facebook account on a blackberry phone and enable notifications on it. Then log out
4) log into facebook on your PC, goto Account settings (click on down arrow next to "home")
5) click on "notifications on the left hand side"
6) scroll down towards bottom of page and click on "other applications" - click on this, you should now have "facebook for blackberry smart phones" - make sure there is a toick next to this
7) log back into the FB app on your galaxy
8) go into setup, uncheck notifications, then recheck notifications
9) set refresh interval to never
10) that should be it
This honestly works 100% for me and other on the other forum. The notifications are instant and it even shows different icon in your notification bar for different types of post (ie wall post or message)
I am running CM7.1 and FB 1.7.2
This seems to work on a wide range of handsets/android platforms.
I dont know how this works. One suggestion is the permission/software the blackberry enables on the FB server is generic for mobile devices and that it is somehow "mising" from the FB app,
All i know is it works for me,
I take no credit or responsibility for this,
I hope this helps somepeople out as it was driving me nuts!
again my thanks to the original poster on the other forum
regards,
anthony
off topic but, i never installed the app because it requires practically every permission in existence, really don't trust it, knowing facebook's privacy issues
fair enough,
but the one thing that has always ruined its usability is the lack (or poor at best) notifications.
untill now anyway (for me at least)
regards
This worked for me for a while. However, I've stopped getting notifications again
forget the original facebook app, use friendcaster

Did it stop working after an update for FB?
Try this login to your FB account and go to "Account Settings". On the left hand side click "Notifications". Scroll down and you should see one near the bottom that says, "Other Applications". Click that and in there you should see "Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones" If there is a check mark in the box, then un-check and hit save. Then re-check the box and hit save again. You're done and the notifications will start working again. If there is no check mark then add it and click save. Viola FB notifications should be working again.

Gmail, Calendar and Contacts

So I bought my wife a used but very new Kindle Fire 2. Took it home, setup her email app to connect to gmail. All worked well until I realized that the previous owner didn't do a proper factory reset of the device. Still had enough of his stuff to where I could have really screwed him. I didn't. Anyway, I didn't want to have to mess around with manually removing his stuff. So I did a factory reset. The correct way. All his stuff was gone. Went to re-setup email and got the error message that I didn't have permission to sync with that server. I guess it has to do with changes google made to how devices connect to them via a non-google app. They are not allowing new connections and since I hard rest the Kindle, google looked at it as a new connection. After a lot of searching and messing around, I found one solution that allowed me to seup the email, but no calendar and contact syncing. I then happened across the below website that gave me the solution that finally fixed the problem. Email, Calendars and contacts all sync. I hope this helps others not spend the amount of time I did to find the solution. Below is the solution. I cannot post the link but it was found at kindle-fireforum dot com - You just need to fix the url in step three. Being a junior member I had to put it like that so I could post it. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
I had this problem setting up gmail account on new Kindle.
Here is what Kindle support gave me. Worked fine.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
2. On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Device. Tap ON to turn on Allow Installation of Applications from unknown sources. Tap OK on the warning dialog box that pops up. Don’t worry! You will turn off this feature once update is completed.
3. On the Home screen, tap Web. Enter url address
(just add http :// here)bit.ly/0018580031
and select Go. When you open the web url link in the Silk Web browser, the update downloads automatically.
4. Swipe down from the top of the screen to see the notification bar. You should be able to see the update downloading. Once it completes, tap Email.Apk. Tap OK on the “Replace application” dialog box that follows.
5. Tap Install on bottom right on the “Do you want to install this application?” screen, update will then download. Tap Done after application installed.
6. On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Applications. Tap Installed Applications. Tap Email. Verify version number is 1.04_104003110.
7. On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Device. Tap OFF to turn off Allow Installation of Applications from unknown sources.
8. On the Home screen, tap Apps. Tap Device. Tap Email. Select Gmail from the list of account, and then enter the requested information. With the email app update you should not have to edit any server information.

Way to get expanded gmail notifications on lockscreen?

Hi All,
Pretty happy so far overall with my L29 (currently running 9.1.0.300 patch01.
My one big gripe is that gmail notifications, when they appear, don't have any contents and just say '1 message'.
I have no idea what the message is until I open my gmail.
This different than my other android phone which shows enough text so I know whether or not I can just ignore it till later. (i.e. junk mail).
Is there any way to change this?
- Frank
The problem is that I had gmail under "app lock".
I don't know if this is a bug or not - the workaround is to not use the native "app lock"
but to use a different app to fingerprint lock gmail, like "Fingersecurity"

Question How do I change this pop up setting?

I want the messages to stop appearing on the screen when I receive them. I try to change from here, but nothing opens to choose another option. I also reset in the developer menu but nothing changes. After many years on Samsung, it seems to me that everything is messed up here. Thank you
I assume you mean with the google messages app. Not many options in the app but if you long press the icon and choose app info -> notifications -> additional settings -> bubbles there is an option for "nothing can bubble". Try that.
I don't use the google app or have the phone on a sim yet, so I can't verify. Please report back if it works.

Thanks for the reply. It is correct what you say and that is how it should be. I know I have to walk here BUT I CAN'T. The phone (software) doesn't let me choose anything else when I press "importance"! Do not open other options! Not to show anything in the balloon was already activated. I've had the phone for 6 days and as much as I like how it looks (the only reason I bought it) the software is a joke. I am totally disappointed. I am seriously thinking of returning it. Apart from the cameras, I really consider it successful. But the software is bad.
I tried to change the setting to only one person, but it still doesn't work.
Sorry for bad english ! Google translate.
I installed and tried another messaging application from the PlayStore and I was able to set other notifications! The default application (from google) does not allow you to set other priorities.
Disappointing!
