    Hello
    I bought a Huawei Watch Gt 2 elegant version. The watch is properly paired with the phone (Xiaomi Mi9), activities, sleep, etc. are saved, however, I do not receive notifications from the phone on the watch, neither calls nor messages, nothing ... it helps to restart the watch and the phone again for a while, but then again everything returns to its original state. I reset the watch to the factory settings, but it also did not help much. Previously, I had a Sunnto Fintess 3 watch, there were also problems with notifications, but not as much as with the Huawei watch because here I do not get any notifications at all. Is it sometimes a problem with the phone? Do any of you know how to solve it? The watch was bought especially to receive notifications on the phone, but at this point it does not fulfill its function at all.

    I suggest first updating the watch and the applications that work with it.

    Hello. I changed my smartphone from Huawei p Smart to Xiaomi poco x3 NFC. So far I have failed to set notifications on watch gt2. On the huaweia phone, everything worked, but now only the watch accepts connections and sends data from the heart rate and sleep pedometer sensors. Did you manage to set something up?

    Huawei, like Samsung, does not guarantee the operation of its accessories with other manufacturers. So what Samsung works with Samsung, what Huawei works with Huawei. You need to download HMS Huawei first of all. You also need to check what the applications have access to, because it turns out that sometimes they are related to other applications and there are no notifications because the associated application does not have such permissions.

    HMS has installed but nothing else. No editing, granting permissions and it is not possible to open. It turns out that gt2 is dedicated?

    Can't open the app, can't you open app permissions?
    What do you mean when you ask that gt2 is dedicated?

    This is how I was able to solve the problem. I set the autostart for the health application and after the problem. Everything works as it should.

FAQ

TL;DR: 1 confirmed fix: "I set the autostart for the health application"—enable MIUI Autostart for Huawei Health to restore GT2 notifications, then reboot. [Elektroda, Ala90, post #18971627]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Huawei Watch GT2 owners on Xiaomi/MIUI quickly restore missed call and message alerts.

Quick Facts

How do I fix Huawei Watch GT2 notifications not showing on Xiaomi (Mi9, Poco X3)?

Enable Autostart for Huawei Health in MIUI, then reboot your phone and watch. This single change restored notifications for the thread starter.
  1. Open MIUI Settings and find Autostart permissions.
  2. Turn ON Autostart for Huawei Health.
  3. Restart phone and watch, then test with a message. [Elektroda, Ala90, post #18971627]

Where exactly are MIUI Autostart and battery settings that block notifications?

Open Settings > Apps > Permissions > Autostart, enable Huawei Health. Then Settings > Battery > App battery saver, set Health to No restrictions. Lock Health in Recents to prevent forced closes. MIUI is “one of the most aggressive” at killing background apps, so these steps are essential. [“Don't kill my app — Xiaomi”]

Do I need Huawei Mobile Services (HMS Core) on non-Huawei phones?

Yes. HMS Core provides background services used by Huawei Health. You don’t open HMS Core like a normal app. Manage it from Settings > Apps > HMS Core to grant permissions and keep it updated. Install HMS Core from a trusted source such as AppGallery if missing. [“HMS Core (Huawei Mobile Services) – HUAWEI”]

How do I enable app notifications for Watch GT2 inside Huawei Health?

Open Huawei Health > Devices > your Watch GT2 > Notifications. Toggle the apps you want (Calls, Messages, WhatsApp, etc.). Also enable Notification access for Huawei Health in system settings when prompted. If prompts were denied before, re-pair the watch to re-trigger them. [“Unable to receive notifications on the wearable – HUAWEI Support”]

How do I update my Huawei Watch GT2 firmware?

Use Huawei Health while the watch is connected to your phone.
  1. Health > Devices > your Watch GT2.
  2. Tap Firmware update and follow on-screen steps.
  3. Keep Bluetooth on and the watch near the phone until completion. [“Update the device using the Huawei Health app – HUAWEI Support”]

Why do notifications work after a reboot but stop later on MIUI?

MIUI’s background restrictions stop Health from running persistently. After restart, notifications work until MIUI re-kills the app. Enable Autostart, set App battery saver to No restrictions, and lock Health in Recents to maintain delivery. This counters MIUI’s aggressive app-killing policy. [“Don't kill my app — Xiaomi”]

Will Huawei Watch GT2 work with Samsung or other Android phones?

Yes. A user confirmed GT2 works with Samsung A50 when notifications are selected in Huawei Health. Quote: “there we select in the device settings which notifications are of interest to us and are to be sent.” Ensure permissions and notification access are enabled. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18958389]

HMS Core is installed but I can’t open it or grant permissions—normal?

Yes. HMS Core is a background service, not a user app. Manage it under Settings > Apps > HMS Core to review permissions and updates. If permissions are missing, enable them there. Reinstall via AppGallery if components are outdated or corrupted. [“HMS Core (Huawei Mobile Services) – HUAWEI”]

Factory reset didn’t help—what should I try next?

Resetting the watch rarely fixes phone-side restrictions. In the thread, factory reset did not restore notifications. Focus on MIUI settings instead: Autostart, notification access, and battery saver rules for Huawei Health. Reboot after changes to apply them cleanly. [Elektroda, Ala90, post #18873061]

Sensors sync but notifications don’t—what does that indicate?

Bluetooth connectivity is fine, but notification permissions or background execution are blocked. Allow Huawei Health to access notifications and run without battery restrictions. Re-pair the watch if you previously denied permissions to re-trigger prompts. [“Unable to receive notifications on the wearable – HUAWEI Support”]

Calls arrive but texts/WhatsApp don’t—how do I fix that?

Inside Huawei Health, enable Messages/WhatsApp under Device > Notifications. In phone settings, grant Notification access to Health and allow pop-up/lock-screen notifications for those apps. Disable Do Not Disturb or set exceptions as needed. Re-test after changes. [“Unable to receive notifications on the wearable – HUAWEI Support”]

How can I re-pair the watch to refresh permissions?

Remove the watch from Huawei Health, then unpair it in Bluetooth. Reboot the phone. Re-pair via Health and accept every permission prompt, including Notification access. Test by sending a message with the screen off. [“Unable to receive notifications on the wearable – HUAWEI Support”]

Is Huawei Health widely used and kept updated?

Yes. Huawei Health has 500M+ installs, indicating broad adoption and frequent updates. Keep the app current to receive fixes and device compatibility improvements. Update via Play Store or AppGallery, then re-check permissions after updating. [“HUAWEI Health – Apps on Google Play”]
