This reminds me a lot of older Huawei days I hate with my Mate 8...so I am little bit familiar.. that we have to whitelist.

But can some one tell me what I need to do for the apps that have push notifications ?
Is it 2 or 3 places I need to white list ???

From what I remember from my Huawei days was... I did only whitelist apps that used push notifcation or that was a multimedia app for video or audio, the others dont need to run in the background really..
so the concept are not wrong.. but.. I think vivo software should detect if the app want to use push notifications and ask the user if we want to allow that or not...it would make the set up more simple.

I could probably figure it out myself but this would save time..and also its good information for other new owners of the device. Besides this I am super happy with this Vivo Device, its clear to me that Vivo is the next Huawei, the only bad thing about vivo is their pricing, Vivos brand is not strong outside china so it will take time for them to build up same brand as huawei.

We need to Allow Apps to AutoStart & Run in the Background
Funtouch OS Kills most apps in the background in order to achieve better battery life and you would often find yourself missing notifications from your apps like whatsapp, telegram, instagram, twitter etc. You have to allow them to Autostart & Whitelist them/Allow to run in the background if you want to receive timely notifications. To do so follow the below:

* Settings > More Settings > Permission Management > Autostart (Select your preferred apps)
* Settings > Battery > High Background Power Consumption > Select apps
Allow the apps to continue running in the background so keep receiving notifications instantly.
I recommend most social media apps and messenger apps like Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter along with your Widgets and any other applications that are important for you to keep active.

Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

that is OK...try using the SofaScore application but not with home wifi network...try with mobile network, I think the notifications in this case are not coming regularly

One more thing I figured out is to make sure background data is on. It is hard to find in the settings. I wasn't getting my email notifications for the stock email app even with all the settings correct.
i somehow found that the background data was off for some reason for that app. Turned it on now everything works great.

I have Nova Launcher. Press and hold the settings spp. You should see a pop up that says battery, data and wifi. Go to data. In there go to data usage. Find the app you are not getting notifications. Check to see if background data is enabled. I don't know how to find this setting by not using Nova Launcher.
Hope this helps.

What setting couldn't you find? The man settings icon in your app drawer. Press and hold. A pop up should appear. Should say Battery, Data and Wifi. Hit the data. On this page, go to Mobile Data Used. There should be a list of apps that have used data. Find the app you are looking for and make sure background data is on. Or even go through the list and turn off background data to apps you don't want. If the app you are looking for isn't there, try again after you have used the phone for a while. Give the app some time to show up.
This is the only way I know of getting to this setting.

I found it now... it seem all have background data enabled.. I think this get enabled when you allow high background consumption.

Ok, I have a problem with notifications.

It's annoying that you can't drag the notifications screen down from the top in the lockscreen, it only works after you unlock the phone.

Also, some notifications in the lock screen don't fully show, they are also not responsove to touch(as to expanding the notification in the lockscreen to show more info)

I can only see what they say after I unlock the phone, drag the top down and press the little arrow that now appears on the right side of google notifications as in the example pics below

The arrow is not there in lock screen, I can't "expand" notifications in lockscreen...


You understand what I mean???

Lockscreen notification 1 st pic and unlocked screen notification second after I press the little arrow

Same for example when I got multiple whatsapp messages, in other phones in the lock screen I touch the notification in the lockscreen and "drag" it down, it expands to show me the messages, in the Nex this is not possible

Any fix? Thanks

This is very common issue between Chinese software iOS style like Funtouch,MIUI,EMIU.

They don’t support expandable notifications on lock screen neither option like reply or delete from various app like Viber,WhatsApp,outlook,messenger,Gmail.

You can’t resolve it even with third party app because Google remove with Oreo overlays management on lock screen from third party app.

Only when native being supported by OEM.

Unfortunately Chinese OEM interact badly to core Android OS by removing basic features like expandable notifications.

All other non Chinese skin support this feature(Samsung,LG,Sony etc)

The only Chinese OEM support it is OnePlus because of Oxygen skin being stock based.

Thanks for the reply. I made a side by side comparison vixeo with a samsung s 6 and sent it to Vivo on Facebook. Customer service has been amazing I must say

I have the Chinese version of the NEX. Settings\Status Bar and Notifications\Manage Notifications. On my list I have apps listed including my Android messaging app, which lets me select detailed message info on my lock screen.

But you can’t reply or delete a massage(WhatsApp Viber,Facebook messenger etc)or email(Gmail,outlook)through lock screen since does not let you expand on it.

And if you get long massage with many words characters you can’t read all of the massage but half only, unless unlocked the screen and pull down notifications center.

Vivo software does not support expand notifications on lock screen just like non Chinese android skin.

I had the same issue with Huawei and Xiaomi device when I had it.

Take a look at this screenshot.

I’ve got 3 emails from outlook but I can’t read the details each one also not having option of reply or delete each massage.

The same with Gmail I can’t expand so I can’t read the whole message and just like outlook I can’t delete or reply directly through lock screen.

In both situations I have to unlocked the phone and the pull down notifications center and only then let me do that.
