make sure to set correct notification settings, as well as leaving app running after screen is off and ignore battery optimizations.
[Mate 8 General] pim:
I did it for viber, facebook messenger and I do receive notifications

But for gmail and email I don't receive them when screen is off. There is also no way to give a high priority notification for gmail because this app isn't listed (system app)
[Mate 8 General] Bratty2k7:
Is there a step by sep method posted anywhere you could direct me to please?

Also any ideas why there is no updates for stock c636b103

[Mate 8 General] VANLUC:
I just tested at time send me myself an email and gmail notifications work screen off, in wifi and 4G ... :rolleyes:
[Mate 8 General] johnweber7375:
Yes thats right, sometimes it works, the problem is that sometimes it doesnt work especially when it's in deep sleep. Perhaps you should test it when your phone is in deep sleep, for example a few hours later after your screen gets off, like at 04.00 A.M. in the morning. An other problem, i use a few islamic apps that they sound notifications at some prying times called azan, but unfortunately sometimes it sounds sometimes it doesnt, even the screen is on. I dont know why. But every time I remove and reinstall the app, it displays a warning message that there is a battery saver or optimization property in your phone and it prevents app's notifications. And also sometimes when the screen is on, the app doesnt show any notification at time. To tell again, sometimes it works sometime doesnt, even the screen is on.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
In deep sleep, the phone will be in coma!

Huh

How can any.notifications disturb ;)
[Mate 8 General] johnweber7375:
Yes mate 8 is in deep sleep and dont disturb please :)
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
For me with C636B180 Facebook, Facebook messenger, Instagram, twitter, Skype, STOCK MAIL APP with 3 accounts and 1 exchange notifications works as it should except Viber that in deep sleep notifications comes only if you use data with wifi you have to open the app once after that notifications comes either... Sorry but I don't use Gmail app to test it...

I think there have been good steps with all updates for notifications.

I have read somewhere that the last "android Web viewer" update is responsible for Gmail notifications. Try to uninstall to previous version close automatic updates in playstore and test it.
[Mate 8 General] sandsftime:
guys, quick question.

I have unlocked, rooted (installed custom recovery), but i want to install the new b180 update. Downloaded the file, what am i suppose to do next? do i just flash the zip file over through the twrp?
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
I flashed the 133 partitions at the beginning of the process so this cannot be it. I flashed in order:

133partitions fastboot

then after the usual stuff needed the 152 rom then the 162 rom and then the 180 rom and the other stuff(supersu,insecure boot etc).

Shouldn't it be ok with the latest kernel? I searched at the update.app with the extractor and I didn't find any file marked with kernel name or something.
[Mate 8 General] danster84:
Does anyone perhaps have a link for the latest C636B180 firmware to another hoster? The official Huawei server does not really work for me.. Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
although i did that with my current clean install, i assume that flashing b152 and b162 shouldnt be necessary before flashing b180. as for b133 preflash npt sure, basically it was just about the userdata partition...havent checked yet if that is included in the b180 update.app

which phone model do u have? if its al10, ull have to flash decrypted boot image, otherwise ull get a bootloop after rooting.

basically: flash b180 through twrp, then immediately after supersu and decrypted boot without rebooting or exiting twrp. once u got all three u can reboot :)
[Mate 8 General] sandsftime:
thanks! mine is the L29 model, didnt need to flash the decrypted image. Thanks! just did it, work perfectly.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
great :) and indeed, with the l29 model theres no need for the decrypted boot image
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
There is no userdata partition in the 180 rom afaik. I think that cust from 133 rom was also needed for the themes to work correctly and I just flashed to be safe. I will probably have to wait until you find time to flash to see what happens with your kernel since we both have AL10 devices with L29 firmwares...
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
*sigh* yeah, well, that might take a while, unfortunately... until then, i can only read the forums and post what i know :)
[Mate 8 General] sandsftime:
the notification still exists for me after installing b180. is it the same for everyone else?
[Mate 8 General] yeeyon1990:

Your version C185 isn't compatible with C636, C432, C10. TheThe only way is to unlock bootloader and root but it's a little difficult and I don't know how to do it to help you so look in general discussion for unlock and root...

[Mate 8 General] manook:
Thanks for these! On my AL10 i Flashed the 152 international zip from the general thread then flashed the EU 152 update here. It's updated my radio to the EU version and I now get much better 4g. Previously it would seem to just stick to H unless I set it to 4g only. Now it auto changes at much better levels. Also used the l29 oeminfo and it reports phone as being L29 instead of Next. Thanks !
[Mate 8 General] raimondomartire:
Can you make a screenshoot of your info menu? I want verify your radio number
[Mate 8 General] CyberMomo:
Well here i have only OTA files. It seem very rarely they push full rom.

The only "recommended" way is to use dload folder on your internal memory, unzip the file you downloaded in it and turn on your device in update mode.

Recommended is to have clean device (no root, no unlocked bootloader).

For other stuff like TWRP i cannot say i have not yet do any change like that myself.

Other have succeded to flash these zip with TWRP. But i will certainly not recommend you to try that. You have to make at your own risk and add your result here.

Remind for all of you please help me for that -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65407415&postcount=41
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
Since I have UL bootloader and TWRP u suggest I don't try it ok. You think there will be problems with the function of the device?

About the other post I see you are looking for international model. I have AL10. Does that help?
[Mate 8 General] dlorean:
U can get problems with the function. Had problems with B152 and the development settings. The option to delete authorized devices wasn't displayed. Only after reflash the update with dload, it was displayed again. Reflash with twrp don't worked. Now B162 flashed with twrp and all is fine. It's a little bit crapshoot

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
yep same here. flashed my AL10 today cuz i was unhappy with the buggy B156 firmware. started off with B133 via fastboot, reboot to system to enable usb debugging, then flash twrp, B152, followed by B162 in one swoop. after that, supersu beta 2.67, followed by decrypted boot image of B156 and voila, everything runs smooooth! notifications and autostart of apps work, now im happy again :)))
[Mate 8 General] :
AWESOME NEWS! ILL DO IT RN :)

Ill try from 152 to 160 in one Swoop :) and i let out the decrypted boot image...

i didnt needed it from 150 to 152 - so ill try my luck.

thx for the hint with supersu beta 267 :) i will use this then :)

btw ill try dirty flash :)
[Mate 8 General] leony74:
How to update on my mate 8 plz if u can tell me the steps. Mate 8 bought from UAE.
[Mate 8 General] :
i can confirm it :)

B162C900 ! GREAT!

(Dirty Flash - Root is gone, atm i dont need it)

If you'll need it, reset your Phone, install supersu - and done.

Its a annoying thing that we cant install supersu after dirty flash because twrp always says 0mb left internal storage.. i figured out you can fix it with resetting your phone... any other options maybe?

Great work! thx

[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
So I installed B180 yesterday and I'm noticing that notification is not working properly, must important to me WhatsApp, in fact B162 the only notification I want getting was from Outlook app.

This are the steps I took when installing:

1. Factory reset in TWRP (did not clear local sd-card)

2. Flash full B180.zip via TWRP

3. Flash B156 decrypted boot image

4. Flash superSU

5. Clear dalvik cache

Here are my settings for WhatsApp but they are the same for all apps that I want to have notification...

[MENTION=4071479]bluheart[/MENTION] what do you mean with highest priority, do you mean "Priority display" in Notifications center in first picture above?

[MENTION=371528]Everybody[/MENTION] else had any of you found a solution?
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
First of all check your kernel date if it is 29/3/2016...

Activate "Priority display" in Notifications center as in first picture above.

Go to settings-apps - advance setting - not optimize apps and put "yes" in every app you want notifications.

Go to every app and give it all the licenses

If you still have problems and you have older kernel from the newest (29/3/2016) you will have to flash first AL00B172 and then L29636B180 and start all settings again...
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I know already that my kernel is dated Jan 26, do you think that will affect the notification...?

Edit: Like this?
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
tsiglas has answered Leo

MM has so many confusing settings because of permissions and doze.

Do read everything about notifications in MM on Google grandma site.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Okay so funny thing I changed which apps should Ignore Optimization and tested send a WhatsApp to me hadn't been in the app for about an hour and it got through... I had cleared cache and memory for that app so don't know which of the two had the effect because for Tapatalk after reinstalling from Titanium Backup I always have to clear cache to get notification. Shame I didn't do a more thorough investigation.

Well I'll keep testing and seeing if I keep getting notifications.

Of course I haven't flashed the latest kernel as you mentioned in your Edit. But if it works without having to do that I'm happy as long as the notifications are received.
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
Yes like this... And go to every app and give all license
[Mate 8 General] pim:
I did it like this too but gmail doesn't appear in the list because it's a system app ! I've now tried to install a 3rd party email reader (blue mail)

My kernel version is from 2nd of february and my version is C185B162

I don't think there is a newer version vor B185 ?
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
Do you have AL10 device? If yes then your kernel version is from Feb because you haven't changed to the newer insecure boot image. But I don't think this plays that much of a role. If it does please let us know.
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
Other regions got b180 and c185 still in b162, why Huawei doing this? Also "hicare rom update" and "updater in phone settings" is completely useless which is unacceptable for a flagship phone ??????

If you have NXT-C636B103 and want to update to B180

Go to files, local internal storage and add New Folder... name it dload then download update file here....

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip : NXT-L29C636B180 (1536MB)

once downlaoded... go to files local internal storage, download folder... unzip update file (press and hold file untill you see unzip) unzip it in the download folder.. once unzipped move the 2 files to dload... turn off phone wait 10 secs..... now press volume up / down and power button together untill you see huawei logo then let go.. update will start automatically you will be then updated to b180.. no data loss, no root needed etc
[Mate 8 General] mahawa:
Unfortunately I have NXT-C185B162 and i can't find any updates after that anymore.It's like Huawei has already appended us already.
[Mate 8 General] Bratty2k7:
As far as I'm aware you can update to c636b180 from c185 but you won't receive ota updates for your model after

You may have to have root to do that though but I'm not 100%
[Mate 8 General] mahawa:
Could not install B170 or B180 the C636 on my C185 always shows incompatible update package and i can't loose warranty for an update :D
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
yupyup, one can only install an update for a different region with unlocked bootloader and root. no need to worry about warranty though, both changes are reversible :)
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I belive root is not needed...
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Wait till we get updates ;)

Why hurry
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Security patches can be very important to fix as soon as possible, hence waiting for updates can be bad.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Oh :-O didn't know unlocked boot loaders are so much worried about security patches ;)

Poor me ;) no one.wants to hack my.mobile
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Okay sure I'll bite... So granted unlocked bootloader and enabling USB debugging is a security level downgrade but you need the physical phone to hack it while the security patches usually are covers security issues in Android that can be used by harmful software. So its big difference.

Btw there is no need for you to be sarcastic in your respond, you stated that people should wait and that there wasn't any hurry... And I gave you a valid reason for wanting to update as soon as possible. There is no need to be sarcastic and mocking!
[Mate 8 General] mahawa:
