FP4: Unified Push only works when phone is on and app (Element, Fluffy) is open

Using /e/OS Applications
1

With our FP4 (2 x), Unified Push only works when the phone is on and the respective app is open. I can’t say for sure since when this has been the case, but it worked with 2.5 (no longer with 2.8a14 and 2.9a14).

UP-Example reports everything is fine
Element reports all good
Fluffy reports all good

Maybe someone can help or confirm the error.

I use Molly-FOSS and UP with Pixel 5 since a week.

Before on the Pixel 4a I would have also ‘delays’ not sure what the reason was since Background was allowed and I didn’t close the app.
I realized swipping back too many times would close the app.

Since UP was introduced for eOS in system settings it does not work on S7, I need to use ntfy-app to make it work ever since…
No delays for molly-foss though.

I don’t have to use the app, I can use the system settings.

Thanks for the tip. I installed the app and played around a bit, but unfortunately it didn’t work. I have opened a ticket…

Thanks, but I didn’t really understand how you do it.

I suppose you have activated UP undery Settings → System.

sure (klar, hab ich :slight_smile: )

Well, for @obacht that way doesn’t work at all. So he installed nyfty app (which is the same as the system setting)

I hope this clears it up.

Yes, that is true.

For general test of function install UP Example App, register and send a test notification.
If you receive the notification you know UP delivery works.
… be it via system integrated UP or via extra install of ntfy.

Be aware that you need to choose a “ntfy” when you register in UP Example:

  • the upper ntfy is the system integrated “ntfy”
  • the lower ntfy is the extra install,

Not sure about how other apps do their UP-thing or how eOS does it in the background … but with Molly UP via ntfy I had to also connect to a mollysocket service, I use adminforge:

Unfortunately, this does not work on our FP4 phones. The message does not appear until element has been opened and the display is on.
I just tried it again with and without the sepaerate app.

You what about ‘running in the background’?

I guess you checked it, just making sure

Yes, I mean to have checked all the settings. It’s probably just a little thing, but it doesn’t run on my wife’s FP4 (which I don’t touch) nor mine.
