[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
That's exactly what we where talking about in Greek mobile forum with other users... It's a stupidity.... Without notification the phone is for garbage....

I have start to check the notification delay.My configurations are just above with pictures.I have to say that im completely stock with yesterday clean instalation and using ''unlocked magazine'' just in case...Today i have check stock mail app.I have 3 mail acounts(yahoo-gmail-hotmail) and one exchange.I leave the phone to sleep without interaptions(i mean without recieve calls-sms) for about 30minutes (doze mode) and send one mail to all acounts.After excactly 30 minutes the notifications arive for the 4 acounts.That means that doze check stock mail app for notifications every 30 minutes(my configuration in mail app is 5 minutes) .Thats toooooo bad and longgggg.I was dissapointed because it would be better if the notifications never comes...but as i see it now thats how android doze and huawei phone manager working so im afraid its not a bug and maybe never changed.

Later i will check Facebbok-FB messanger-Instgramm-twiter & Viber (that seems to have the most problems) and i will write my conclusions.

Update... Facebook messages comes instantly with zero delay

Update... Instagram comment never came after 45 minutes and neither when I turn on the screen I just show it when I open the Instagram app. The notifications seems to be messed up...
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
My friend there are 2 B170 rom outthere...one for AL (china version) and one for L29 (international version)...what is your version and what ''C'' (i mean mine is L29C636B170)???Please answer me because in my case with my version the notifications is meesed up.
[Mate 8 General] beachletter:
It is L29 C636 B170 stock non-root. I'm using k9 mail client. Not seeing any problem so far. Push messaging apps such as whatsapp and wechat also works normally.
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
I have the same version C636B170 no root complete stock and i continue to have problems with notification especialy ''lockscreen notificatios''.The only thing that i can think is that i didnt take it OTA but flash a full 1.4gb version with dload method.Maybe something has to do with that.Do you have data (4g or 3g) ON all the time (with wifi on together)???Because i dont use data all day and some guys tell me that this helps.I dont know what else to think...but the trooth is that we are waiting an update for our version (C636) that it will write about notification problem solve and incude huawei helth app and cloud (like C485B170 version)...lets hope it cames fast...
[Mate 8 General] beachletter:
I do have data on all the time although most of the time it is on wifi. Have you tried the disable doze method? I don't have to do that but maybe it could help you.

Another thing is that I don't use the stock mail app, I use k-9 mail client. I have not tried the stock mail app to see if it has any problem with push. I just assumed that it should be ok (since a stock app is less likely to encounter compatibility problem than a 3rd party app) given that all my other apps using push are working fine.

To make sure it is working I just tested it again, when the screen is off, I received gmail push notification within 20 seconds after I sent it from the PC.
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
I'm not root to disable doze and I don't know to use ADB sell. To test the k9 mail app you have to turn on WiFi and data and leave the phone without receive SMS, calls, mails for about 20 minutes (to be sure that phone is in doze mode) and then send a mail from pc to see what happens... I know it is difficult to find 20 minutes without interruptions but is the only way to test it. In my case stock mail app recives mails (and lockscreen notifications) 5-8 minutes after screen closed. After that I have to turn on screen (to see lockscreen or get into phone) and watch mails come.

The newest version ist NXT-L29C432B170, not B636B170!

are different Kernel date!

C636B170 = 19.02.16

C432B170 = 11.03.16

with this version C432B170 solved notification problems

for other versions - workaround, only in German --> handy-faq.de/forum/workaround-benachrichtigungen-push-t321202
[Mate 8 General] Freeje:
I tried using stock mail app but still having the same fracking problem. Is it that difficult for Huawei to solve?
[Mate 8 General] beachletter:
Didn't wait for 20min when I test it today, but I have waited for 20 min or longer when I just updated to B170 to check for this problem, and it still worked. Plus I've received push messages at the middle of the night or during the day when I haven't use the phone for a while, so I'm pretty sure it's working.
[Mate 8 General] johnweber7375:
Which B170? There is a few B170.

[Mate 8 General] ajsmsg78:
I'm on my KangVIP Slim B168 and after removing a few apk's from system I've been getting notifications for the past three days without a problem. I'm using AquaMail and any time I get an email, text or anything else my screen turns on and shows me the notification. My email and text app are both in system/app as well.
[Mate 8 General] chelojavier:
I sold the damn phone.

Sorry if hurt the feelings of some Mate 8 owner, but really ... I paid for a top-end device and the very old blackberry 9300 from my son is more useful than this.

I further understand that the company is from China, and China has a potential market of millions of users for Huawei. And i believe, this is a device that has not officially designed it for the occidental market. China has another applications market, Google for them, and all GApps are of secondary importance, so I suspect that the Chinese do not use Gmail, Hangout, Whatsapp, etc...

it will be a long time until Huawei put your hands in this matter (if ever, considering that many owners Mate 7 continue to suffer similar problems ...)

A friend has another Mate 8 and vowing not have this problem with notifications. He swore and even challenged me to go his home to corroborate.

Yesterday I sent an email to his Gmail inbox, and i do not tell anything... Two hours later I meet him at his house and asked if he read my message. He looked puzzled. He looked at his Mate 8 and his LED notification showed no signs of life. He turned on the screen, look at the status bar and there was nothing there. So finally he opened Gmail because he thought i was playing a joke ... and there came my mail, at the precise moment that run the app ...

Therefore I assume that many users believe not have the problem because they have not taken the small job of letting your phone static, with the display off, for a half hour, and send themselves from a PC, an email to see how quickly arrives...

I'm sorry Huawei, believe me... I did everything possible to try to live with this problem, and i tried to fix it with each of the suggestions posted in this forum blessed ... but my old Nexus 6 laughed in my face every time a mail came to him, and Mate 8 slept in a eternal dream ... No more "i love you´s" for you.
[Mate 8 General] ajsmsg78:
You should send that to Huawei, maybe they would actually listen.
[Mate 8 General] chelojavier:
The person who brought you to my country, is an oriental friend of mine, who travels for business every 6 months to China. He brought 4 units to sell here, and the four units have the same problem. In fact, he had been with one of them, and he sold one week before me, because this same problem.

All are AL-10 version, chinese firmware, with 4GB Ram and 64GB ROM, bought in Taobao.com

In fact, in this case, we buy phones at 2 different vendors, especially because we needed two colors, and one of the sellers had only the silver color (I wanted Mocca brown).

I do not want to start an external discussion to the problem mentioned in the thread. I just tell my honest opinion without any additional interest. I really love to be part of those who have no problem with this phone .... but unfortunately not my case.

I have had countless high-end devices in these last 3 years because precisely, we bring devices to sell in my country, and always stay with one, to use one month if the device really interests me. Never in all this time, I had a disappointment like this with a device. Perhaps, something like this, was when we brought the first units of Xperia Z Ultra, and had the problem that, after lock the screen, then, when trying to unlock, screen remained off.

In the following units we brought, the problem was solved by Sony
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
You are soooooooo right my friend that is what I'm screaming 10 days now... But to be honest if you like the phone(I love it and I came to mate after LG V10 that was so silly perfectt) I think you you could have wait some days more. I think this week we will all stop posting about notification problems because finally Huawei solve the problem (let's hope it's true) and the update rom start sharing.Today morning in the thread of "Ota online servers, general discussion" a member will post first C432B170 the first rom that changelog says "mail notification push problem solved".

Finally I'm sure that there is no other rom out there that hasn't got problem with notification. Have a nice day.

UPDATE :I have crossflash my L29C636B170 with the new C432B170 that has the latest kernel and security patch.

Until now after several test with phone sleeps more than 40 minutes all notifications (especially stock mail app 4 accounts & one exchange) seems to work as it should... But I'm not enthusiastic... I have to test it further some days more. But I'm sure that has been progress...
[Mate 8 General] tsiglas:
My friend do this in international or europe version B103 or B152 and wait to recieve notifications from stock mail app (in lockscreen) after 1 hour of device sleeps...

...you will have to wait tooooooooooo longgggggggg.....or instead press the power button to activate the screen...thats the only way!!!

This was one of the first steps we ALL have done...

Sorry to tell you but i think that you didnt discover America...

The problem with notifications isnt a matter of settings of device but Huaweis problem that as far as i have seen in the last rom L29C432B170 that been running now has been solved...

This was the first rom that in changelog talk about solving notification problem with mails...

Always friendly....

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thethereza:
I use my tv remote to control my firetv over hdmi, and previously, the 'escape/back' button would wake up the firetv. after 5.0.5, it no longer works. The simplest solution i can think of is to keep the screensaver on all the time (i like it). I found this post that says you can configure the screen_off_timeout via adb

- stupid rules prevent me from posting link. so here's the text from the other webpage -

However, it doesn't work - and it seems that settings now has a per user settings

|shell@bueller:/etc $ settings
usage: settings [--user NUM] get namespace key
settings [--user NUM] put namespace key value
settings [--user NUM] delete namespace key 'namespace' is one of {system, secure, global}, case-insensitive
If '--user NUM' is not given, the operations are performed on the owner user.

so I'm not sure which user NUM I should use, or if it's just ignored now. My most recent attempt is to brute force it

i=0; while [ $(($i)) -le 5000 ]; do i=$(($i + 1)); settings --user $i put system screen_off_timeout 2147460000; done;

not sure what to do - next step would be to try to root the box which just seems like a pain that i would like to avoid. my fire tv stick still works fine over hdmi (esc to wake it up) so I think it's a unique issue with the fire tv (1st gen).

Any thoughts?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bevnrick:
Root not needed. User not needed.

It's almost like screensaver_timeout

and screen_off_timeout are opposite.

Change your Screensaver to Never and screen_off_timeout changes to 2147460000.

You don't need to brute force it as the [--user NUM] is not needed.

Changing screensaver_timeout has no effect.

To recap "screen_off_timeout" IS the screensaver start time within the Amazon settings.

screensaver_timeout does nothing - that I can tell.

I would like the Amazon screensaver to run more than 15 minutes but can't find how to do that.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marclamb:
About a month ago, I set the "screen_off_timeout" to 2147460000 (never) on my Fire TV Stick and it has worked beautifully playing the screen saver over and over. Then, today, it has mysteriously stopped. While the Stick doesn't go into sleep mode, the screen goes black with no screen saver. I suspect the culprit is Amazon's auto software upgrade to 5.0.5.

If anyone can help with a work around this, I'd be forever indebted to you!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exploremore:
I second this request. I have noticed the same behavior with 5.0.5.

I am also curious if there is a list of all keys in the 'shell settings system' namespace. I could not find an adb command to output a list. It seems to require a key such as "screen_off_timeout". I noticed in another thread that you could access these keys via sqlite but I can't seem to get that to work on a non-rooted 5.0.5 aftv device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowelle:
Hi,

+1 follower here. I have a Fire TV Stick and My screensaver only stays approx. 20 minutes. it seems the setting screensaver_timeout is not read anymore because I tried changing its value to 60000 (1 minute) and 2147460000 (Never) but no effect, the screensaver still only runs approx 20 minutes. It seems Fire TV has another variable for that or maybe the max it could go for is 20minutes. I cannot comment about the version because this is a new stick.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] schn1tt3r:
I live in South America, but I have a friend that is studying in USA who can bring the phone in March. I'd like to pay the full amount of the phone and have it UNBRANDED (I just can't stand the logos) both in boot-up, and physically.

How does one go about doing this? If you buy the phone form AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile for the full prize are they unlocked or do you have to put in a request? I have no idea how it works. Which version should I get? I checked best buy and they only sell carrier-tied for $300+400 I want to pay the full $800 or whatever they cost.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
They all will have carrier apps and some form of branding, and they all will be locked(Except Verizon). You should be able to purchase any of them outright. The unlock policies varies by carrier. Also I believe only AT&T and Verizon request locked and encrypted bootloaders.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] schn1tt3r:
I don't have anyone living in UK that can bring it to me. Besides, UK will have Exynos which means no ROM development from what I read.

All new s7 models are region locked so a europe version wont work with a usa sim , the lock is a temporary lock that switches off after 5 minutes with a phone call with the correct sim , carrier models lock to the first sim card you insert and do not unlock , which is why its always better to buy phones in independant shops , apart from no locks its also carrier bloat free
