Allo&Messages notifications - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

I am not receiving notifications for Allo or Google messages. Have tried everything I've seen online. Anyone have these working? If so how?

I have found you have to either manually enable it per app or tell the phone to allow all.

I have tried both and those two do not work. I get all other notifications

Same issue, also for discord.

Same here for Hangouts and I am sure a few other apps.

For Hangouts send yourself a message but don't open it, you'll then be notified when new ones arrive.

Try disabling the MIUI battery saver for the specific app.

Tried that doesn't help.

Nope doesn't work. I've tried every suggestion. It's weird that I get notifications for everything else except allo and messages.

Then I guess it's an MIUI bug. Have you reported it?

Notifications are fixed in the China dev rom, just installed it and immediately started getting notifications on Allo, discord and Hangouts. A ton of additions as well! slider customization is now in the settings as well!

Mine magically started working last night. Someone sent me a text (my Google Voice goes to Hangouts) and it sat unread for several hours. I opened it then poof, all Hangouts notifications work now.

Yes dev rom is a huge difference. Can now rock it as my daily. Getting notifications and using fi and att.

I figured out the solution to this. Messages is listed as the default app but isn't. From Messages, mark all as read, it will then display a message at the bottom asking to make Messages the default. Press yes and notifications start working.

Yeah, mine has stopped working again. Strangely, it works fine I'm the car. How does global compare to eu? Any point in switching?

I currently don't see a reason honestly. I thought the global would fix some things and for me it didn't. Honestly right before I switched I had the eu room set up almost perfectly.

Have you tried the weekly build of the eu rom? I would have tried it already, but I'm traveling and can't afford any downtime.

Not receiving notifications with Inbox

Hi,
Anyone else having issues with Inbox not pushing notifications? I still get gmail notifications just fine. Sometimes notifications from both show up, but most of the time Inbox doesn't show anything. My sync settings are fine and I tried to clear data/reinstall. I'm on 4.4.4 Purity rom.
Thanks!

Been fine here. You don't get notifications for all "bundles" though, so don't forget to check the notification settings for each bundle.

Oh geez, I didn't even realize.. I think that explains it. I just enabled notifications for 'forums' bundle. Could you reply here so I can see if the notification goes through this time?

Priority mode not working for some apps

Is this happening just for me or? It seems that L's priority mode is not working for some apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Viber. Notification sounds and vibrations still go off when I receive notification. It works for SMS and calls thou.
There aren't many posts about this so I'm curious is it just me or not. Using sideloaded factory image.

You don't have this problem with Facebook Messenger or you don't use it?

I don't really use messenger,so can't say,but if everything else goes theough,I would assume they would go through as well. The only thing that definitely does not go through is calls.

Notifications issue?

Hi there
I have a question for the international users of the Magic 2. I have not yet owned a Honor device but had several Huawei Mate devices in the past. The ones which I had from China always had the issue with delayed/not syncing notifications, for example Whatsapp etc. It only got better with the international firmware on it.
Does the Magic 2 also have this issue, seeing it only comes with Chinese Firmware?
Thanks very much!
I have the HM2 and I haven't experienced any issues with notifications, using Whatsapp, Telegram or whatever.

I have had a different experience unfortunately. Some apps only seem to sync and receive new notifications when I open them.
I've tried adding the problematic apps to "unrestricted data access" (despite it saying this should not effect notifications) to no avail.
Hope someone else has a solution!

That's exactly what I was afraid of, I also know this from my previous Huawei Mates.. well I have placed the order now already for it.. so I guess I will have to see.
Go to settings->apps->apps->WhatsApp(for example)->power usage details->app launch.
Change to manual and enable all. I think you can then switch it back to automatic.

These problems usually originate with power consumption settings and launch settings, if you let it run in the background and launch itself, it should work perfectly.
In any way I use Whatsapp regularly and it seems working fine with the default settings I had when installed.

And this
Most people that are having issues with notifications are totally unaware of the the aggressive battery saver on Huawei devices. You need to manually allow apps to run in the background and not be killed by the battery saver. Unfortunately the settings are but hidden and some time there are more than one option to were to do so.

Screen Lights Effects not working properly...

Hi, i am using the Chinese version of the Find X2 pro and I just can't seem to get the it to work for notifications.
It works just fine when I get calls, but it doesn't do anything when I receive messages from like WhatsApp or WeChat etc.
I have the "light effects for lock screen" option turned on but it still doesn't work Does anyone here know a fix?

Same here. Never noticed this working on mine either now you mention it. China spec in UK also.
Doesn't work with global rom in UK either! I use True Edge from google play store, but even that is hit and miss (and it's not brilliant on the battery). Not sure why a company who doesn't include a notification LED doesn't do more for other methods of notifying.

Bizarre (seems to be the buzz word for this phone). I got mine from Netherlands, and running EU rom, but they don't work for me.
Anyone got these Lock Screen Notifications working?
I've got the settings and it works lighting up, but only once, then it just stops which sort of defeats the object ?

It's only lighting up once or twice. Don't expect more. It's ok like that. If you want more then install from playstore. There a couple of apps which has similar settings for incoming messages calls, etc.

Can I ask you which update you have now , mine received update once only and may security until now
Yeah same issue here. Always On display is the only workaround I can think of.
With no LED they need a way to let you know of missed calls and text messages..
Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

I've tried:
True Edge
Always on Edge
Always on AMOLED
Notify Edge
All are *huge* battery suckers
Currently using Notify Buddy by Xander Apps. Seems to be the best for battery useage and lights up a circle (which is an absolute PITA to position). I have it perpendicular to the camera punch on right of screen. Works for *most* apps but not all.
Don't agree with the comment about notification only lighting once or twice is useful. We have notification sounds for that!

I think this is more if you are away from your phone or it's on silent. You want to be able to glance at your phone and know if there is something important pending. (like a missed call). At this point in time without Always on Display there is no way to do this.
Thanks for the app recommendation
I did try NotifyBuddy though didnt work for me.. No LED coming up.
i think always on display is the best option. at least it's a factory app designed to be run all the time.
For anyone not sure it's called "Screen off Clock" in the Oppo settings.

Took an age for me to "find" the LED on screen. Had to manually position and then use the overly-sensitive pseudo mouse to eventually find it. Move it a millimetre and it's gone again!
Similar issue on my UK purchased device, just over a month now, one update since purchase - CPH2025CPW_11_A.24 (still on June security patch!!)
Initially screen light effect for lock screen notifications worked but in the last few days has stopped lighting up for messages. Works fine for incoming calls though...

Am I the only one with notifications issues?

Since I've had my phone, some notifications just don't come through no matter what I do. WhatsApp will not work unless I wake up my screen and my calender reminders never work unless I happen to be on my phone.
All permissions granted, battery optimization turned off, auto start enabled and no restrictions on these apps. Quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to sort this?
LOL this has to be the funniest post I've ever seen here. Like 25% of posts and comments on mi 10 ultra forums are about notification issues bud. Did you even attempt to search?

Are you on stock Chinese by any chance? Switch to the EU ROM, this will resolve your issue easier than it is to explain every setting needed for some notifications to fully work. Took me ages but I did do it. Then I went EU, no issues, worked straight away.

I'm on the stock rom. Not planning on switching to the EU rom any time soon as I need Google Pay and my banking apps working.
Would you mind telling me how you got it working?

Definitely try the EU ROM. It has its own problems but it's better than the stock.
Yeah I get this all the time. Its so frustrating. This bug has a mind of its own and seems to choose when it likes to stop notifications working

It is very strange, because WhatsApp is one of the apps whose notifications seems to be reliable.
Gmail is one that I am not 100% sure about. But I feel it is somehow related to the way gmail handle its notification, since I experience similar behaviour on other phones.
Teams and Outlook are 100% notifications rate for me.
Possibly I have set something else in MIUI settings, I have to check everything.
