Hi all,
this is my very first post here on xda, so please forgive me if this is not the proper section for my thread. I searched for other thread about similar issues, but I didn't find anyone. I'm Italian, so I even hope to not being wrong in English writing.
I recently bought (on November 2014) an Huawei Ascend Y550-L01 (Android 4.4.4, EMUI 2.3, ROM B137), coming from a (Portuguese) Samsung Galaxy Y Pro GT-B5512. Soon I experienced a very strange GPS behaviour: GPS turns itself off. No problem in signal fixing, nor in quality or precision. It simply deactivates.
First I noticed this using the OruxMaps app (which works fine on many phones, even my old one), simply recording the track. Indeed, at the beginning the app was being killed (because of the integrated task-killer) when screen was off, but after setting it as a "protected" app, when I record a track, GPS works while screen is on and, if screen turns off, then most of the times (not always) GPS is deactivated from within Android settings.
I even received (from the purchasing time) some GPS errors while in the home screen... I don't remember exactly that error, but in a fast Internet search it was told being caused from the weather widget, precisely from the "actual position" setting. I deactivated it and added manually my town and those errors were gone.
Then I noted another strange behaviour: GPS turns off even in standby, during night. It is on "extreme precision" on evening and it's off at morning. Sometimes I notice these deactivation (in the notification menu or into the energy saving widget) while I'm using the phone (but always when screens is off), without any error or message popping out... It simply gets deactivated.
Any other experiencing this strange issue? What could be the cause? I sent a mail to official support, but they asked me to take the phone in a service point... I can't stay without phone, so I would like to avoid this if it's not strictly needed.
I think it's a ROM issue (said that even in the mail), but unfortunately still there is no alternative one (or at least I found none). I think also that (almost) every app that uses GPS suffers for the same behaviour I faced using OruxMaps.
PS: phone IS rooted by a couple of week, but I'm facing this issue from the first day.
What the hell is going on? Any help, idea or trying suggestion is appreciated...
Many thanks!
Up?
I also see strange problems on the Y550-L01 connected to GPS.
In my case the GPS does not disconnect completely, but during car navigation the signal gets lost from time to time (tested with different navigation apps).
This is only the case when the Y550 is NOT connected to the charger. If I connect it to the power supply, GPS works quite reliable and accurate!
For me this sounds like a software problem (maybe connected to a power saving mode?). I hope a firmware update will fix this soon.
Even to me this is a firmware issue. Before of your answer, I was really beginning to think it's a fault of my phone. Now that I'm not the only one, I went back to think of a bug.
If it is a power save problem, then try to use this app to stop the power save mode :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl
(ultra light : 35K, free/no adds)
"Wake Lock gives you control over the Android Power- and WifiManager.
For example, you can force the PowerManager to keep the screen on or have the CPU still running in standby mode or make sure the Wifi connection keeps running at full performance.
You can use it on any android phone or tablet.
Use it to keep the screen on in full brightness or dimmed mode during movies or slideshows.
To make sure the CPU is still running in the background doing your tasks when you press the standby button."
Thank you for the report.
It seems that the new huaweï G620S has the same GPS problem :

Any news of an Huaweï update ? Hope yes...

Hi! Better post your question in our small Huawei Ascend Y550 thread. Maybe there someone of us can help.
If you understand German:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-...gation-unzuverlaessig-nur-im-akkubetrieb.html
These folks have the same proplem, but no solution.
Try it while a charger is attached.
Has anyone encountered this problem? After a few minutes of my screen being off, i do not receive ANY notifications for incoming messages (e.g. Hangouts, Whats App,...etc). As soon as I wake up the phone again, I am flooded with pending notifications (some of which are hours late)
The problem is not limited to my phone; as 2 of my other friends are facing the exact same issue on their units.
I am referring to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue ?
[[Update]] seems this problem is with all lollipop phones. At least where I'm at. I can confirm that the M9, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6 all demonstrate the same behavior.
Bump! Problem still exists. Hoping for someone to shed some light

Anything installed? Like Greenify, or battery saving apps?
Nothing. Stock and straight of the box.
Do you have any battery saving options on?
None. Its has no power saving nor blocking mode activated.
yep. Just got my AT&T 64g edge. with screen off I get no notifications for Gmail, Hangouts, Text or mms. turn screen on and everything suddenly shows up. fresh out of the box, no powersavings or anything on..
I'm seeing the issue on my regular at&t s6. any solutions ?
You do not get the blinking LED notification? Or are you guys expecting an Ambient notification?
In some cases the notification arrives late or in some cases not at all. no LED notification, no sound notification .. nothing!
I'm not sure why this hasn't bubbled up yet .. its quite a serious problem. My old s4 on 4.4.2 handles push notifications like a champ.
Sadly it this issue did bubble up earlyier as this thread was started on the 2nd... about half the time if my screen has been off for a bit I get nothing, and then when I wake it up I get multiple email, text and google hangouts notifications...
[[Update]] seems this problem is with all lollipop phones. At least where I'm at. I can confirm that the M9, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6 all demonstrate the same behavior.
Same problem for me -push notifications work intermittently under lollipop - had same problem with my moto x 2014 and now has started with the edge.
I didn't have this issue with my M8, I have it with the S6E though..
Have same problem here. Sometimes works with no issues, sometimes get 4 notifications once the screen is turned on.
Started noticing this as well. Turn my screen on and I will get notifications from email, whatsapp, groupme and a few other apps.
turn off wi-fi
this happens to me on my s6 edge (t-mobile variant) when I have wifi on and am connected to a wifi network.
turn off wifi --> perfect notification behavior
I assume this is a software issue and not a hardware one. I guess Sammy needs to push a fix for this.
I have the same problem, i have been pulling my hair looking for a fix. Brand new s6 edge att model here doing the same thing.
The only solution is to use other email apps other than gmail and it works fine. I'm certain it is a software bug however my wife has an S4 with lolipop and no issues so I'm concerned a bit but now that I have seen this thread it is clear I'm not the only one.
The issue on my phone resolved itself. No firmware updates or anything. Go figure
Hi,
yesterday i received my Amazfit Verge.
I could not test it completely before an upgrade to OS 3.2.0.7 (I was running 3.2.0.5) came in.
I tested this watch on 2 phones (samsung s9 plus and a Motorola G4 plus).
Before testing I did a reset of the watch.
Both show the same problem, when testing the warnings the incoming call warning does not work.
When a call comes in the warning also does not work on the watch, all other warnings work.
Is this a problem with the watch or is it a software glitch in 3.2.0.7 and how to solve this?
Do you have latest version of Amazfit app installed on phone with all permissions granted? If yes, try adding the phone/contacts/favorites to the notification settings in the app.

Interesting - I just checked it with my Verge on 3.2.0.7. The first time I tried, it took relatively long - about 10 secconds - before I received the notification on my watch. The seccond time it came right away.
Have you tried to let it ring a little longer?
I'm running on release 2.6.7
Phone/contacts/favorites are hidden by the smart filter, they should not get selected.
I selected them anyway but the result is exactly the same
I've been waiting for 20 seconds now and I still do not have a notification on the watch.
I have exact same problem. Notification works only when I enable BT call function on watches.
I have the same problem, incoming calls are not visible. Samsung Galaxy S8 Android 9.
same problem here with a Samsung S10.....anyone solved it???

Did you marked in Watch App, notification section call/phone? Do you getting all others notifications like message, calendar and ect.? In 3rd screenshot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huami.watch.hmwatchmanager you can see notification area. Here you must add all apps from yours phone from which you want to get notifications. If will not help, try reset factory settings of watch. For me working everything fine. Also, if in watch you will not see caller name, need to give permission of that (in smartphone). By the way i hope you understand that watch with smartphone must be connected via bluetooth?
P.S. I got 3 updates, now i got latest where was integrated Alexa (working in US only). With all software versions which i had and have working all notifications very well, included call. I guest you will not added it in Watch App notification section that. I have not Xiaomi brand smartphone too. Brand of smartphone havn't any effect in getting notifications I hope But maybe China manufactor don't like Samsung, so... you can chat with Amazfit support us.amazfit.com. But i'm really don't want to believe that this is true. Maybe something bad is with Samsung smartphones, cos this problem have a lot of people here
I had a Xiaomi Mi9 before and all worked very well!!
Now that i switched to a S10 with all the same settings that i had before, the notifications (whatsapp, telegram, gmail..ecc..) are perfect BUT if someone calls me the Verge vibrate for a second, the screen lights up and...stop!! no name, not even number calling.....when the call attempt ends it also notify me the missing call....!! I am pretty sure this problem is connected to samsung phones with pie but i really hope there is a way to fix it because i would hate to sell my Verge.....

I starting to think that this is not Verge problem, but problem is with Samsung smartphones, even newest models. I have none Xiaomi smartphone and it's working fine. It's not Samsung too. So i advise you to chat with Samsung support too, but ofcourse try to talk with Amazfit support us.amazfit.com (it's US, but only this support have live chat) if will be closed chat, try en.amazfit.com via mail support, but keep in mind today is saturday, so answer via mail or chat will be opened only from monday. It can be that these models working with each other with this problem

everything is checked and there is no incoming call anyway
yeah same preset answer they give to anyone.......
i also have all checked but the problem persists!!
I think it's standard form of answer to costumer. So consultants doing just copy - paste process from base of information. I think company request to do that from theirs workers, so don't be suprised. By the way i got some too about battery, but it's better to get answer like this one if don't get it at all, i had some examples when i did not got answers at all or answers into my questions
Any idea how to fix it?

Try to do factory reset of watch. I tried several times and after last reset i could hear caller when i answered to ring. But i need to check again that. By the way i did some reset of watch without restore of my data. So maybe this can help you.
No helps. I think it's problem new software for verge.
Still happens on my new Note 10 too, damn it! Coming from Note8 I havent experienced this before.
Hello everyone,
I'm having huge issues with notification:
- SMS (almost) never launch notifications, and this is VERY frustrating, think about SMS from bank or 2f authentication. I'm using stock SMS app
- many apps (like YouTube) many times when there's a notification, this disappear automatically after few second
- sometimes the phone light up the screen without a notification, so I don't know what's happened
I tried to search how to fix the notifications problem, I tried to lock app in multitasking, set manual boot and set the battery permission.. but nothing, the problem still remain. Its so annoying.
I'm using a mate 20 Pro (lya-29) with emui 10 and April security patch, I factory resetted the phone 1 month ago, I have 70gb left and few apps installed.
I also read the powergenie thread, but I would rather fix this problem in another way (if exists).
Thanks
PS: emui sucks, really, i'm hating this phone only for this annoying software.
I went the PowerGenie kill route PLUS DOWNGRADED the native SMS app (after trying even beta without luck) and my SMS notifications work fine now.
BTW :there is zero negative impact of uninstalling PowerGenie in case you are concerned.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I got the same problem about notifications : they appear when lockscreen, but when I unlock it they disappear.
I must reboot for fixing it on short run.
So annoying.
Hi
Andoid 12 (latest via OTA)
non-rooted
The problem is that while there is no problem with SMS / WhatsAPP notifications, no other ones come
Other notifications come only in 2 cases
- unlocks the screen (backlight is not enough, I have to unlock it)
- the phone is charging (then they come normally)
First, I set everything according to my own logic and intuition (it has worked well for the last dozen or so years of using electronics)
The problem still existed - so I looked online and set everything up as people suggested - THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS
Later I found the website dontkillmyapps
I set up the entire system and applications according to the information provided
THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS
I even installed an application related to this website that checks the killing of applications, after a two-hour test, all results came out 100% (i.e. nothing killed according to the legend of the tests)
I turned off optimization, turned on dynamic mode, turned on flexi, turned off battery adaptive mode - in short, everything possible at the expense of battery life - ZERO result
Phone unlocked - notifications come, phone locks - they come for about 1-2 minutes and end
Previously, I used A11 (I did not upgrade to A12) on LG g8s and there were no such problems
Its an android issue, not a Zenfone issue. I would just not get notifications on messanger (FB) randomly. It was the same with a S21 Ultra I had before. I always do the steps you mentioned, but it didn't solve the issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling solved it for 1-2 days, then notifications will stop arriving randomly.
I have to admit its better with A13, the notifications are just delayed, I don't think i missed one since I did a clean install about a week ago.
