My wife and I both now have WM phones (mine is a Tilt 2, hers a Pure) and we don't want to spend money on text messages to each other, since each text message would count twice... once for her receiving and once for me sending. (on a pay per use plan it would be $0.40 each!).
I was looking for other options. Push email is o.k. but often times there can be a minute or more delay, and my early tests of push gmail are not producing any confidence that it would push reliably.
So then I was thinking IM. It looks like IM programs would be battery hogs, and have to stay running in the background, and could easily be accidentally closed. Also, when the phone goes to sleep it seems like they then switch you to "offline".
So am I missing something? What are my sms like, non sms options?
Also does anyone have any small programs that would set up a auto-soft reset on a repeating schedule, it would be great if I could start the morning with a fresh phone. Thanks.

Yes, any non-sms messaging app for your phone would obviously use data (3G or EDGE connection) to communicate, and would need to be left on all the time to be able to receive incoming messages and notify you in real-time...so battery drain would be in direct proportion to that.
The best solution I've ever seen for that is Palringo, a free IM-integrator app that can connect you through most of the common IM networks (yahoo, AIM, Google talk, etc), or just direct through it's own (if I remember correctly)...meaning that as long as you and she both have the palringo client installed, you don't necessarily have to use any of those services to be able to IM each other. It's also free, and I seem to recall that it can be set (but isn't by default) to stay connected even when the phone goes to sleep, but don't quote me on that part.
It would be great if one of these programs had a "listening" service that would run in the background and then notify you of the "call" similar to an email.
I have seen a few online, (my research has just begun) that indicates "push notifications". Sound interesting, the data connection would remain active all the time that does not bother me.
I seem to have lost the setting to switch the "x" button from close to minimize. That would solve the issue with accidental closing the program. It would have to be managed via the task manager.. no biggy.. and then if I can find a soft reset scheduler it would keep the open programs from overwhelming the phone.

If you'll find one, please let me know
lost the setting to switch the "x" button from close to minimize.

it's the other way around. default for winmo is minimize, there is
an htc bundled app called taskman. it's in settings - task manager which is making apps close when you click X
plenty of other apps can change that too
and then if I can find a soft reset scheduler it would keep the open programs from overwhelming the phone.

i made myself app doing change on backlight settings every morning and evening, I changed it for you to do reset
give it a try tell me if it's working for you and if error will pop up let me know what's it saying, at least line number
Seeing the "similar threads we found", I see that I'm not the only one having this issue and we're not the only phone having problems.
Turns out there's a known issue on Google Voice where if the customer adds a line, subtracts a line or screws with their service in any way that requires an activation of the line that's on Google Voice (like an upgrade...yknow like we all did ), that Google Voice can fizzle out. Basically, it automatically unchecks the box that says "this phone can receive texts" which prevents your phone from receiving texts. This also changes the setting on the phone app to route texts through your stock messages app again. This will step-by-step you into changing them back.
Well I got mine working again, and I'd like to share how I did it so maybe it'll work for you.
**NOTICE**
This is for one line on Google Voice only. Apparently this won't work if you have multiple phones attached to the same Google account.
Okay:
1. open up your web browser and go to: voice.google.com. Then open up google voice on your phone.
2. in the browser, click your phone number (top right corner). A menu will pop up and you'll notice the "this phone receives text messages" (or however it's written) is unchecked. That's the bug, it'll uncheck itself every time you go to that screen. Also, when this box becomes unchecked, it actually changes a setting in the Google Voice app on your phone to route texts through the stock messaging app again (annoying).
3. Check that box so that it's one (don't close out of the browser yet, leave it on that screen)
4. Then, in your google voice app on the phone, go to menu > more > settings > notifications and sync where there's a drop down menu specifying whether you want messages received by the messages app or GVoice. choose which one you want (i'm assuming if you're here, you use GVoice). This is the setting I mentioned that it changes in the app (all the way back in step 2).
5. Now you should still have GVoice open in your browser. If not, you follow directions badly and need to repeat the process. If yes, you should have the unchecked box checked (when it wasn't before) and the setting on the phone app itself changed back to normal.
6. While the browser is open, have a few people text you. You should now be getting texts and voicemails delivered to your GVoice account again. This isn't necessary, but to test to make sure you did it right.
Last: once you re-establish that "connection" close the browser and never go back to that options page again (it'll just un-check that box and change that setting on the phone and make you do this all over again). Now your GVoice should be working properly.
*addendum*
If you're still have trouble after this. Go back to the options page where you started, check the box, then uninstall/re-install Gvoice on your phone and go through the set up again...then continue following the steps.
*addendum 2*
If this fails, then disable GVoice services with Sprint and set them up anew using the app on your phone (like you did the first time).
Don't worry about the "can't do whatever", just hit "skip".
Then follow the steps above.
Hope this helps, I know us GVoice users are minority but hey we need people to figure crap out too

I have tried these steps and nothing works..If i change the setting in the app to use the google voice app for receiving text it automatically un checks the box online in the google voice settings. When I recheck the box online the app reverts back to using the stock app for messaging in the goggle voice app. quite pissed off about it but i'm still receiving calls from my google voice number so I guess I will live with it until its figured out.

here's the essential part:
Check the box, but leave the browser window open so you can see it.
save the setting for using GVoice but leave the settings open so you can see it.
Then open a new browser window and text someone using the browser interface in a separate tab. I use Google Chrome and have the GVoice extension so I didn't need to do that.
The idea to get texts moving back and forth while both are checked without leaving so they can't uncheck (which they won't do if you stay in the windows).
Once you get the flow of traffic going, then leave those settings windows and never, ever go back to them. It's a cheap fix and a house of cards of sorts (i've accidentally undone my own work twice), but it does work.
Ok..this is what I discovered for me. I have an Evo3D flashed to boost and I have the same google voice number going to it as I do the touch. I was looking at my settings online and suddenly the box for receiving text to the 3D was unchecked so I rechecked it. Well when I did that my messages started going through the stock messaging app on the 3D . So I decided to uncheck both my Touch and my 3d in the settings online to receive text and now I'm getting my text back through the google app. This makes no sense but its working right now.

I suspect it'll be fixed in the next update or two.
If you didn't mind going through the WHOLE set up process again, you could find and download an older apk and just go back to a bug-free version. I have a transparent themed one and an inverted one from before the latest update and they worked fine before I updated it (ever since, they are screwed up).

Thank you sir...
So I am looking for an app to make one of my phones more like an IPhone. No, no really... well not exactly. I actually do want to take away much of the coolness of android and limit the options, much like a crappy Iphone.
I want to be able to lockdown a phone to certain apps. But not in a "kiddie" type of way. And I want to be able to include direct dial shortcuts. But I want to lock or effectively remove everything else that is not and "approved" app.
All the apps I have seen rely on a password that is on all the existing app. So all the options are still there, but have a password. I want to remove the outside options. And I think it has to be a home replacement in that it has to control the notification area too. All of the lock down apps also seem to not be able to stop the play updates and then you can get into the app from the "updated" notification.
So I want the screen to have like 10 direct dial number shortcuts, a few games and that is all with no way (without effort and knowledge) to get to all the other goodness that is android.
Why not lock (password-protect or whatever) Play Store and Disable auto-updates?
I can't wait to get root. NFL Mobile constantly popping up. EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET A CALL THAT CALLER ID THING COMES UP. Verizon Messenger, etc. WTF. This is ridiculous.
Go to Settings, Application Manager, All and uninstall what you can and if you can't do that, disable.
What is more worrying is all the features they removed.
Aye man be glad you don't have a Galaxy phone lmao, especially S5 & under, those things are filled with bloat from bottom to top and without root are the legit true phone nightmare. S6 improved a bit but not as much as it could've been. Satisfied with my G4 so far, just got it today and not too much bloat, I can live with it.
You can disable most of that stuff right from the application manager section of settings, and you will not see it anymore.
If you want to go hardcore use the debloater tool. I've hidden every app I normal remove with root including concierge.
The G4's bloat is insignificant compared to the Sammy phones man!

That annoying caller id can be semi-taken care of. If you are using an app and a call comes in, you can have it only pop up a much smaller icon that lets you know of an incoming call instead of that humongous annoying full screen caller id. From the home screen, tap the dialer icon. You have to be on 'Dial' or 'Recent', just hit the 3 dots in the top right and select Call settings. Down towards the bottom there is an option "Incoming voice call pop-up" that is unchecked by default. This will give a much smaller pop up that you can use just like the full screen. And if you don't want to see it when a call comes in, you can just swipe it up and the call will eventually go to voice mail. Or you can just hit decline and continue using the app that you were.
Hope this helps some :good:

Did anyone else get the update (today) for Verizons "supports and protection" app. My concern is the "protection" part...it appears to be an antivirus. Fine, with every other scenario, with our possible future exploit...I turned it off/disabled it for piece of mind.

I have disabled protection as well; along with few others. (verizon navigation and visual voice mail)
Huh, I guess I was being dense. Every phone I've had before the disable option was turned off for all the bloat from the get go so you couldn't disable. I just disabled a metric ton of crap on my phone. MUCH better already! Thanks XDA!!!!!!
Yea I use Nova Launcher and drag and drop unwanted Apps to the desktop "App Info", where it goes directly to the option to either Uninstall or Disable. I weeded through all of the App Drawer apps, then dive into the actual Application Manager where I Disabled several there too.
I DO love the Visual VM app, so that is the one thing I like to keep.
For some reason I liked there messaging app better than the LG one.

One (free) alternative to the Visual Voicemail app is Google Voice. You can configure your phone send unanswered calls to your Google voicemail instead of Verizon's. This will automatically transcribe the emails for you. It can be a bit hit or miss, but it's better than nothing! It also lets you play your voicemails individually without having to call in and listen to them all.
www.google.com/voice
DT Ignite
Be sure to disable DT Ignite (uninstall not available). It is used by the cell companies to push apps to your phone without your consent. I was wondering why Cookie Crushers and another app showed up two days after I activated my G4. A Google search turned up an article showing that this app is what does it. At least I was able to uninstall the added bloatware that was installed via DT Ignite.

Yea I used Google Voice and it was nice. It worked enough for me to get a jist of the message but it would be really funny sometimes. I REALLY like Verizon's Visual Voicemail. It is just easy. I like being able to delete multiple messages at once and pick and choose.
@OP, coming from the G2 the Bloatware is about the same. This should be no surprise. I had a Verizon G2 that had official lollipop. I think the apps were exactly the same. I use the same method I used on the G4. I use Nova to drag apps and uninstall what I can and Disable the rest.
There is an actual Debloater Tool, but you have to be careful with it as it lists EVERYTHING. I find it much easier to do it my way. No PC. No Drivers. No risk of removing an important app.

While I do agree verizon should do anything the phone, the extra software they added on isn't 'too' bad once you think of it. I looked at my disabled menu and its about less than 10 apps? It is not as awful as it was on my G2. with a bit of time you can tweek the phone to your liking. Maybe it is Stockholm syndrome but I'm starting to like LG's layout as they have progressed over the past 2 years..I am looking forward to custom roms though
I do not understand why verizon would want anyone to use their messaging app.. all it does is cause confusion and cause people who are unaware they can change default messaging apps to switch to an iphone or something else. I do not understand why they think this is a good thing. the simple stupid solution is always better!
still a bit ticked off that they removed smart settings from our phones (multi user etc). I could honestly live without, but the fact they did it for their personal gain (which actually hurts them) makes zero sense to me.
kinda wished verizon added wireless charging, like the g2... OH well, its a simple enough fix.

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.
