Molly / Signal working properly in the background?

Technical Support
1

Hi!

I use Molly / Signal to communicate. But I can’t get it to work in the background, I only get notifications when the app is open, which drains a lot of battery.

This is even when Duraspeed is disabled on it.

I tried to get Unified Push instead of WebSocket to work, but it does not even show up in my settings right now. It does not seem to work.

If you managed to make it work in the background, it would be much apprechiated!

Cheers,

nico

Have you installed a UnifiedPush distributor app? (e.g. ntfy) You will need a distributor app installed before you can configure notifications with UnifiedPush

Apparently, UnifiedPush can only be enabled on the main device that uses Molly, not the linked device.

I changed that now, and could get UnifiedPush to work, but messages are still not going through (even though in Molly it says the status is OK)

To elaborate on this: I still only get notifications when I open the app.

I’ve only ever used the ntfy distributor so I can’t comment on any others - does the distributor app have battery optimization disabled and an exclusion from duraspeed? When you open the distributor app does it show recent timestamps of notifications? Also, if you reboot the phone you may have to open the distributor app once to get the background service started.
