Mate 20 X: Notification issues on international version?

So, I posted on here a few days ago in relation to some notification issues I was having on my Chinese Huawei Mate 20 X, long story short, I WAS receiving notifications perfectly fine when the phone was on Wi-Fi, but the second I left the house and ran the phone on mobile data, I either got long delays in notifications or in some cases not actually get them at all, applications affected were Facebook, Messenger, Reddit, Gmail and my banking app.
I was also having connectivity issues with Gboard and voice typing with Google. I received quite a few replies but unfortunately none of the advice work and as a result, I had to send the phone back.
The phones seller advised me of the international version of this phone, and suggested that I perhaps give that a go, I have so far messaged three sellers, and every single one of them has told me that I shouldn't experience any notification issues on the global version, even given that it runs the exact same version of EMUI as the Chinese version.
Can anyone on here verify this?
I don't really want to have to spend another $1,000 and wait several weeks just to have it turn up and go through the exact same problems I had with the Chinese version.

I don't know why people have notification problems I've had none on Chinese model I'm in UK on three network if that makes a difference or not ?

I have INT version, I got from FunkyHuawei, and I have no notification issues at all.

No notifications problems here on EVR-L29.

I have the Chinese version 8/256 and no notification issues whatsoever.

Did you disabled the app from running in the background or something like that?
Once I disabled certain apps like Wechat for example, all it's notifications will ceased.

I have notification issues WHILE CONNECTED TO WIFI WHEN SCREEN IS OFF.

Well if you disable the app from running in the back ground, how would you expect to get notifications? You disabled it from doing so.....Am I missing something here?

That's what I'm talking about. Maybe the op disabled it from running in the background and hence there's no notification.

Please try the following methods:
1）Make sure the SIM card is inserted. Setttings---Battery---- Click the gear button on the upper right corner--- switch on “Stay connected when device sleeps”.
2) Settings---Notifications----More notification settings---turn off "Smart notifications"

Go into settings - battery - more battery settings and toggle on the option that says "stay connected when device sleeps". This fixed all my delayed notifications on Gmail and WhatsApp.
I have the 8/256GB Chinese version and this was driving me crazy until someone here on XDA mentioned this and it fixed all the problems I was having.

Any app killed in the recent apps menu (hitting the trash can) will close all apps and will not run in the background, regardless which version you are running. You can see this by hitting the trash can to clear the apps, and then go to settings apps and choose the app and you will see force stop is grayed out cause the app no longer is running.
Trying to find the protected app location or policy so you can add apps to prevent them from being closed down.

I have the same issue with my China-bought Mate 20 (not X tho). Notifications for most apps (especially Chinese apps like Wechat, ...) work without problems, but certain apps don't show any notifications at all. These include: Splitwise, Couchsurfing, and maybe a few others. This is not a VPN issue since both Splitwise and Couchsurfing work in China without VPN. As soon as I open the apps manually, the updates come through. Before the Mate 20, I had a OnePlus 3, also bought in China, and both apps and their notifications worked without a flaw. So this is definitely a Huawei issue.
Battery optimization is turned off for both apps, they're set to manual with all options enabled (auto launch, etc).

&
3) apps -> app Launch -> ( click on specific applications ) manage all manually ( all 3 options ) for selected applications.
4) open the application and leave it running on the background by locking the app in the background.
I have done all the 4 above steps.
hi, have done the same for past few days but only certain applications show the notifications like WhatsApp /Facebook/youtube/ google./instagram
but still,
1) I am not able to figure out the notifications for Line / Discord / all the games installed in the device.
2) after long hours of non-activity ( say 6 hours ) the applications on the background once again closes automatically ( even after doing the 3 & 4 th points mentioned above )
3) Apps -> default apps ->assistance & voice input -> ( google automatically logs out for some reason not sure why ) even tho i have removed the default Huawei app, I am not able to get the G-assistant as default.
it works for sometime and after some time, the option goes to default as "none" and I have to choose it once again back.
( yes I have done the 3rd point run manually for google assistant )
4) Gdrive -> My drive -> backups -> backup settings -> all the application data is showing as waiting for backup ( except the contacts )
not sure how to fix it - all options are greyed out.
5) Always on display don't show the notification icons - I tried 3rd party " amoled "but battery consuming - ( I will wait for the update in Original built-in software )
6) Screen recorder able to record, ( in-app settings I have enabled all the permission, microphone etc ) but when I click on the screen recorder
by default, the application microphone is greyed out and not able to switch it on.
7) for google maps history to work, I have to root the device and rename folders as per this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/al00-location-history-sharing-timeline-t3887627 )
but I haven't rooted yet. awaiting for proper method for rooting.
Above are the issues in My device ( EVER-AL00 Chinese Rom 8GB/256GB variant - non-rooted)
I have been trying to resolve the issue... but pending ones are the above which I need some help on. ( anyone knows how to fix the above let me know )
But the device is still awesome. until the above issues are fixed I will be using my old device ( mi - max 2 ) along the side.

Any update ? Did you manage to fix the issues ?
I got the same mobile like yours and I'm noticing also some delayed notifications with Microsoft Outlook app.
I will try to manually let it run all the time in the background and see if that helps.

Google Messages battery drain on 10+

Never a problem on my note 9 but now it's insane on the note 10+. I don't really want to change apps because I like it otherwise. See the pic comparing it to the next highest used app. Also, there's no way I had it open and on screen that amount of time. Anyone else experiencing this?

If you did smart switch, try clearing data for messages.

I have. I am waiting for some results to see if clearing data fixes anything.
UPDATE: cleared cache and data but still draining.

I use google messages and i'm not having this problem at all, so I would say it is likely something specific to you. Best advice would be to uninstall, reboot and then reinstall the app

Any of you not getting lock screen notifications with Google Messenger? Samsung messages work fine, buy G messages give nothing but sound when screen is locked.

Google messages works fine for me as well and I used smart switch to transfer all data/apps from my Note9 to my Note10+. I'm also getting notifications on my lock screen.

S20 just wont get home up or chat features.

i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters

Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

I havent found a work around yet. Ive tried a bunch of different stuff and no luck. For now im using google messages with chat on to make sure i get all the texts. Ill keep trying different things every few days to see if it ever changes.

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.

Question Few Issues with my Iqoo 9 Pro

Hi Guys
I m just wondering if anyone else is having those issues with their phone :
- Can't activate Google Assistant by saying "Hey or Ok Google". Apparently the feature is unavailable for this phone.
- Whatsapp : cant take selfie picture using the APP. The camera just freezes when you try.
- Cant change the gallery app used while taking photos. Even when picking my prefered APP as default, the camera reverts back to Vivo's app : Album
- Android Auto (well it looks like it won't happen!)
I m sure I ll find more issues in the next few weeks
Dj

Same on my phone. Whatsapp camera freezes when taking a selfie. About the album I think that's how most of the camera apps work - they come with their own album. I tried "open camera" app and it allowed me to choose which gallery app to open the pictures with. Other camera apps, however, came with their own album.

HI Hamza
Thanks for your info.
I found a way around the selfie issue. Simply press the paper clip logo in the "typing box" then long press the camera logo and choose take a photo, it will then open the phone's camera APP rather than whatsapp's.
From there you can take selfies.

The WhatsApp selfie bug is fixed after latest upgrade.

Phone update or Whatsapp's?
I still have the same issue.

I guess you are lucky with your iQOO 9 pro as you don't have any problems with touch screen and camera. The device that I used had the infamous iqoo 9 pro touch screen problem and camera problem.
The touch screen was unresponsive almost all the time. The camera app was launching but was becoming unresponsive and unusable.
I've made a video on the touch problem and camera problem that I had experienced. You can watch the video from the below link and check your phone for these problems.

HI guys
Many times I tried everything to makes my google message app works with MMs or photos with my chinese version.
I know Google use RCS. Is it possible to find a solution to let Google message works well. Any clues from the communauty.
Is it possible to uninstall the sms system app from Vivo Iqoo
Thank you

Hi.
I use message from Google without issue.
I receive MMS and can send them too.
And no I was unable to remove the vivo sms app using adb.

You are on funtouch or origin

Make sure you grant all permissions on the stock Vivo SMS app before switching the default messaging app to Google Messages, otherwise Google Messages won't work.

Also make sure your APN is set up for your phone network provider or it won't work.

How did you do that Can you explain me please why a New APN just for Mms. Can you give me an exemple of how you set this new one only for MMS. Thanks

The MMS APN is unique for each carrier. I have attached the Vivo Origin OS Ocean apn-config system file. You can open it using Windows Notepad. Just use the 'find' feature in the Notepad menu and search for your carrier (telecom service provider). Once you have found your carrier, you will see their APN LTE (for voice and data), APN MMS (for text messages with pictures), and for some carriers APN IMS (for VoLTE and WiFi Calling). Go to Settings/Mobile Network/Sim and 'add' a new APN using the MMS APN for your carrier from Vivo's apn-config file.

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!
