Huawei P8Lite Notification/Double Tap problem

Hi there, I'm experiencing some issues with my new bought phone Huawei P8 Lite(ALE-L21 Single-Sim locked in Vodafone Romania).
The first issue and that's kinda important is the notification one; I won't receive for example Facebook's Messenger messages, when phone it's locked or often on home screen. I've given priority on that damn task killer, I did anything recommended on all forums and sites, even from WhatsApp's thread about receiving delayed notifications, I also installed that Push notifications app;
When I said I often receive notifications on my home screen it's beacuse they are delayed I think. I want to fix this so bad so I made a thread about this. Everything has priority, even networking apps, the lock screen has the default theme, I really don't know what to do anymore.
And the second one is about the common double tap execution when writing or tapping or anything else. I'm experiencing some troubles there too, especially when I'm writing, the phone is executing the second tap without my action and I don't know how to fix that.
I'll let some informations about my phone..
I've purchased this phone on 31th of May, 2016
The model number is ALE-L21/Single Sim
The build number is ALE-L21C02 B140
Android 5.0.1 with EMUI 3.1
Phone isn't rooted or modified, and I want to fix these without rooting if it's possible.

well .. you have 2 options:
1. Check notifications manager from notifications panel
2. Upgrade to marshmallow: upgrade to b170 then upgrade to b564 and hope this will fix your problem xD
About the double tap: that is an often problem on this huawei and you can fix that by upgrading to last version of marshmallow.

Can't find an notification manager, may you show me where it is?
And about the versions I found only b170 but it's from spain and I told you that I'm a little bit scared beacuse it's locked in Vodafone Romania

It doesn't matter from where it is, it's official from huawei. It doesn't matter if it's locked in vodafone romania, mine was also locked in vodafone romania, and i have b565 now
You won't brick your phone.
Here it's notification manager:
If you can't find notification, it means that this option is not available on 5.0

May you give me some links to the updates, please? I really don't want to f**k up the phone

Update via local update: make a folder named dload on your internal memory or sdcard an put the update.app inside of this zip
Then, update with the same procedure to 6.0 by installing update.app from this zip

ALE-L21C02 B140
It looks that Your phone is branded and I don't know if You will have balong bug after upgrading the system to B170 and upper. I recommend you to make a debrand process but it needs an unlocked bootloader. When You decide to do it remember to have done a backup of Your data!

Oups, didn't read c02 xD
But i don't think it's a big problem, even if he has balong, he can install vendor or change it.

Could you explain me what's "balong" and "vendor"; I'm sorry but I'm completely parallel with these kind of "deep" stuff in phones..

Balong is a bug that appears when you are installing a firmware that is not for your country and it's a problem with the version not showing properly. The vendor file will fix it.

And where can I find the vendor file, to avoid the balong bug?
And also is it a problem if I update my One-Sim Phone with an Dual-Sim FW?

That's strange, why are you having b140 on single sim?
And why you want to update with a dual sim version on single sim?
Just install b171 first then install b551, at last install b565 via ota.
Vendor file is inside firmware archives.

Hi,
I bought this phone Huawei P8Lite (ALE-L21) without being connected to any network carrier.
Before I start to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Root the phone, I checked the system version and EMUI and the rest of the information needed before update to Marshmallow 6.0.
Before I had the following info:
OS: Lollipop 5.0.1
EMUI: 3.0
(ALE-L21C432B200)
At this point I had no update via OTA - (to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow), and made only unlock bootloader
After several hours of searching, I found that I could do a local update (B560 Marshmallow Firmware [Europe] - Dual SIM) available by Huawei.
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
I checked Huawei PDF on how to do the update but does not mention Required Version and proceeded to local update.
So far so good, the phone did the update without any problem.
I checked OTA for new update and the phone made update for B564 - Also mentioned by Carbontesla.com
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
Phone did the update (B564) without any problem, then I proceed installing TWRP and then I root the phone.
All work beautifully, but I noticed that whatever the application I use both SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, GMail, takes too long to receive notifications.
I do not know if he was already with this bug when the phone was with Lollipop 5.0.1 with (ALE-L21C432B200) and EMUI 3.0
I have not had time yet to reset the phone to factory settings and verify that fixed the bug, I will do this weekend week :fingers-crossed:
Can someone help me?

Check battery management and give access to work in the background for apps You need. Eventually check notification centre too.

Yes, I've been checking battery management if everything with access to work in the background for apps, and it seems to be ok and notification center too.
It continues with the same delay / bug
I hope this weekend to reset the phone to factory settings and verify if it keeps the same problem.

Check Wi-Fi sleep, and set it to off from Power Saving tab

I checked and is always on, no sleep.
Today is the day, I'm going to reset the phone to factory settings and then check if all is ok.
I'll be back once I have the result:fingers-crossed:

Before starting to reset the phone to factory settings, I made backup all my personal files and a recovery with TWRP if something wrong happened.
It seems to be all right after the whole process
I receive all notifications like any other phone in normal operation, no delay :good:
But before I celebrate, I will be alert to phone with daily use to make sure that everything continued well.
Thanks for all the help :good:

To update to MM your firmware should be at least ver 184 and if your phone is rooted please unrotted before the update.

Just bought a Mate 8 (NXT-L09C636B191) and not showing nougat available in updater.

Is there an easy way to get it? I tried the firmware finder app from the play store and it's still not working. I show the updates available, but when I try to send to updater it keeps bringing up that notice saying I need to go into my wifi and change proxy to localhost and 8080, even though I've already done that. Is there any other way I can get the nougat update?

I'm having the same problem I can't update to any nougat firmware I'm on c636b191

See my post in the OTHER thread you created.

You must update to b200 via dload and then boom u get nougat update

BND-L21 UK Honor 7X - full Oreo OTA updates OK in Firmware Finder

Hi, UK Honor 7x owner. Had it direct from Honor when it first came out.
I was on BND-L21C432B101 when I first bought it and the only update I could get to update in Huawei firmware finder was the B102 update - I did that update a good while ago and never got any updates via the official update checker and no other update in firmware finder was OK to install via the "check firmware access" .
I have been hitting check for updates many times over the last week but no show. So feeling reckless I set firmware finder to full OTA only and the Oreo update was listed - checked via the "check firmware access" and it said it was OK to install. So set the auto DNS-VPN option and the phone updater picked up the full Oreo OTA (2.47gb BND-L21C432CUST432D2B330 (8.0.0.330)) and it downloaded fine, did a verification OK, then some other check that seem to fail - but I disabled the Firmware Finder VPN and hit to check again and all OK, reboot and it did the update and now on Oreo
Oreo works fine. My impressions (note I use nova launcher prime so my home screen looks and works the same as before).
Pretty underwhelming, 3 advantages. 1) latest security update. 2) face unlock (but it's a bit hit and miss) so finger print unlock is still the way to go. 3) Nav bar hide function - but a bit clunky as it doesn't auto hide. 4) treble support but no really solid ROMs to try yet so a bit niche
And that's about it! So if your stuck without Oreo at the moment then don't get too stressed out unless you absolutely can't survive without the latest security update.
I had heard H7 Oreo was treble compliant - and a checker says it is but not seamless updates (two partition requirement).
Cheers

So does it all work as expected then mate? Just downloaded it via your method, haven't installed yet though.
EDIT: No worries, works like a charm. Thanks man.

Make sure you are running the VPN in firmware finder, should have no problems then.

I tried the auto and manual through DNS and still download failed. I also tried the in-app proxy and still fails to download. But when I press on download from the FF app, it's downloading fine. But I'm not sure how install it that way.

Hi, I tried to update through manual and auto DNS but it keeps saying download failed. I tried to download the package directly but I'm not sure how to install it. It shows no option. Do you happen to know how to do it?

Suspect you would need to use a custom recovery after the update has been extracted. I can only point you at my original post for doing it the way I did it. Using the auto-dns VPN option worked for me. I assume the firmware finder servers must suffer some overload sometimes perhaps? Perhaps try at a completely different time of day you have tried before? Are you using mobile data or home BroadBand WiFi?

Follow the link below.. install the HiSuite version that they used there and all should be working.

Any of you tried connecting into a VPN whilst tether to this device?
I know Samsung devices won't allow you to when data savings is enabled, but I can't get it to work on this device.
Tempted to unlock the bootloader and put LineageOS but I've read it reduces the battery life significantly
I've found an update to 8.0.0.331, but that is for the L21C10. Not sure what the difference is compared to the L21C432

Hi guys, just a quick question. Have H7 dual SIM. BND L21 124. If upgrade to oreo will it keep dual sim?
No joy updating. Downloaded the oreo full OTA but failed at 5%. Tried with 3key combo and *#*#2846597#*#* but no joy...
Don't want to mess with the phone (twrp , root etc) as bricked phone in the past.
Any other options to do the update? The FF says update is approved...

My phone was stuck on Honor logo and then loop.
I tried to install update with twrp and I cant do that. (the way that I did before, but seems recovery.img cant loaded this time!)
now my phone has no operating system
it just has eRecovery and TWRP

Hey I'm just struggling a bit in what do d next after check firmwar Access. What do I do after that?

Block 8.0??

Is there anyway to block the notification for the 8.0 update? It pops up randomly when I turn it on and I'd rather not have to deal with downgrading because someone in the house accidentally selected upgrade.
I have updates disabled in the developer options but I'm still prompted to start the update.

There is if u have root

I do indeed. What are my options?

I froze the update service using Titanium Backup but any application that allows you to disable or freeze a service will do it. You could also use something like AfWall+ to stop the service having online visibility so it wouldn't know there is an update.
