Android Central Question
Hello,
I now possess a Mi 11 since its release date in Europe in 2021, and I always had trouble with notifications not being instant.(for information the version of Miui is 12.5.5.0 RKBEUOR)
I thought it was just "normal" but I don't think I had the problem before (I had a Xperia XZ1, I still have it and I'll do some testing because I didn't pay much attention) it's on Android 9.
Those problems happens with Discord and a third part mail app (The one of the internet provider) and Gmail (Yes, Gmail, a google app, does have this issue too) and it's the worse one. Without any settings changed mails could come more than an hour after being actually received.
So now I'll just explain myself, here is everything that I tried :
- Set battery optimization to "not optimized" in the app info settings and the more hidden one too
- Unlimited network usage set to yes (very hidden option)
- Set cache delete when phone lock to Never
- Notifications effect set to "Wake up screen"
- Whitelist discord and the mail app with ADB
And it didn't work well. Until I learned about that famous "doze mode", which I disabled using ADB.
For the most part, it worked pretty well. Or so I thought, because last day I saw a Discord notification coming after 6 whole minutes. Most of the time with doze mode disabled, notifications were coming quite fast for the most part, and the maximum I had was a delay of ~2minutes.. until a few days ago.
I don't know if I'm being picky but a phone is supposed to work as intended, and there that's not the case.
I'd wanna know if that happens with google's pixels or samsung's galaxy phones (which are the only one non-chinese premium Android phone brands that I know of)
I'm gonna say the bad word here, it made me really want to switch to Apple again because that seems to be an Android only problem, from what I have read. That's too bad because I love the recent android versions, and Android 12 looks cool (One Ui 4 from samsung looks also very nice)
So yeah, my question here is simple: Does that come from ****ty chinese rom battery management OR is that just Android being .. badly optimized ?
And, can you get an Android phone to display notifications instantly even if the phone sleeps for hours without any wake up ?
Hope someone will be able to answer me.
