[Q] Problem - Receiving email notification even tho on manual sync - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an unusual issue - during off peak times, I have activesync set so that I should only get my emails if I manually sync. However, a couple of time a night, my phone seems to sync and alerts me that I have new emails.
Anyone know what's up?
This is pretty annoying, as sometimes the phone starts bleeping in the middle of the night.

[Q] Peculiar Problem with Tilt 2: Heating and disappearance of free memory

I have a problem with my Tilt 2 for which I would appreciate some input.
If I "lock" the Tilt2 and put it in my pocket, soon the phone warms up, the battery is drained and the phone reports that all free memory has disappeared. Digging through the file structure, it appears that hundreds of emails have been written in the \Windows\Messaging directory. Deleting some of them frees memory but one cannot delete all of them.
This problem happened twice with the old ROM and once after the installation of the new ROM. I talked to AT&T and they are convinced that this is a "weird" malfunction and they are sending me a new phone. However, I wonder if anybody else has encountered the same problem.
PS: The phone has not been dropped and has not suffered any damage. The problem appears to occur only when the phone is pressed in my pocket.
While I don't encounter the exact issues, mine over heats and locks up. once it cools off (battery out for 30 mins) it comes back on but nothing responds.
if I soft reset I still get nothing, hard resetting gets it working fine again.
I keep it rather empty, just two or three apps and google maps.
I believe I have encountered a similar problem before. Once in a while 1 of my yahoo email accounts would download everything in my inbox, not just the last 7 days as I have set. Phone slowed to a crawl, became hot, & drained my battery. I would go into options & clear the account, phone would seem to almost freeze for 10 minutes as it deleted 700 emails. I went to my yahoo account on my pc & archived all but 100 emails from past few months. It happened 1 more time since, but its much more manageable & doesnt freeze up my phone when downloading only 100 emails.

I've actually had this problem with my yahoo account twice in the last week, and once in the past with my gmail account. Really don't know why it does this, unless there is something weird going on with the yahoo servers.... 1001 messages downloading to the inbox does not make for a zippy phone, that is for sure...

delayed notifications

i've this strange problem:
sometimes (about 50%) i receive delayed notifications on my phone. they are delayed from 5 to 15 minutes maximun. this notifications problem is only for facebook and whazzup, not for mails. if the screen is off and the note is in deep sleep since about 40 minutes/1 hour or more i got this problem.
i red a lot of articles about deep sleep, fast dormancy, tryed a lot of different configurations, tryed different carriers, mod roms, tested with BBS, etc etc but actually i cannot solve it. it's not a connection problem 'cause i receive the mails push. i also called the samsung customers service and they told me it's a timer inside the phone that after "some time" turn on this strange dormancy state to prevent battery drain. i don't think so because the problem happens only sometimes and not for mails so the connection is on. i had an SIII before the note and i had no problems. is it due to JB? on the S3 i had ICS, or it's really due to this "timer? or is my phablet defected?
tnx

[Q] Samsung Native Email Sync Battery Drain

Hello all,
My battery is getting crushed by Email sync, 22% this morning, CPU wake time 2hrs on 5hrs battery time. I set it to push two accounts. I've got to have it for work.
I guess the T-Mobile Edge has had this problem. Anyone here that can offer a solution?
I had the same problem on a Note 3. When I unchecked the contacts sync option the problem dissappeared.
I use exchange for work and sync is set to 1 hour. I dont seem to have a problem. I havent charged my phone all day and still around 50% battery left (13 hours or so).
The problem is when you set it to Auto(push).
I set it to sync every 2hrs and my battery is waaayyyy better now. I don't like that I have to manually check emails for work though, I can't let messages sit for two hours with no reply during the day. I read after I posted that Samsung is allegedly aware of the issue and is hopefully fixing it.

Stock Doze & Gmail

I'm currently on stock MM vs985 and am curious to know a little more about how Doze is supposed to work by default. I get the concept, some apps will spam you with notifications and drain your battery in the process, so those are kind of put on hold while others are "priority" notifications and get delivered immediately. The user also has the option to give specific exclusions from Doze so the notifications will get delivered immediately as they have in the past. At least this is my understanding of things.
The reason I ask is because Gmail notifications aren't quite right. When I'm actively using my phone in the morning, they seem to come in normally and Doze doesn't seem to be active (which is expected). Then when I go to work Doze will kick in and I notice I don't get as many Gmail notifications, which is fine. However on breaks or over lunch, I actively use my phone again. At this point I would expect Doze to no longer be active and I would think the notifications that Doze delayed would start showing up (granted maybe after some delay, but at some point over an hour lunch break). Today after work I didn't have any Gmail notifications so I opened Gmail, it showed the most recent email as one from around 11:00, I swiped down to refresh, and suddenly five more emails showed up (11:38, 12:01, 1:01, 2:59, and 5:40). With that many emails at those different times, I would have thought notifications would have came in at some point without me manually refreshing my emails.
I realize I could exclude Gmail from Doze, but I don't really need the notifications immediately and I would like to get the battery saving benefits of Doze, I just don't get what it's doing or why. I would assume Doze would DELAY notifications until later so they can be processed as one group/batch, not STOP them completely. Is this correct, is there possibly a setting or something I should be looking at?

don't want to sound stupid but do you have greenify installed? Do you have sync turned on?
No greenify or any other non-stock battery saving apps, and yes sync is on. Lunch break and no notifications but I bet when I manually refresh in gmail later I'll have emails that should be coming in now :/
49 hours estimated time remaining for my battery, so it's definitely saving battery, but I'd kind of like notifications when I am using my phone :/
Break time at work, still no gmail notifications. One thing that I realized was that I did have a notification from Facebook just now. Does this indicate that either the Facebook notification has bypassed Doze (made itself priority) or gmail notifications specifically are being blocked by Doze?
Also, when I woke up this morning I did have gmail notifications waiting for me, so that means the normal sync process is capable of working correctly. I had my phone on the charger overnight, so Doze wouldn't have been active (which explains why the notification came through).
About 45 minutes ago I finally got gmail notifications for 6 new emails I got throughout the day. Not sure if it's relevant but this would have been about 10 minutes after I got home where I would have been back on wifi since this morning. I also noticed I have Facebook notifications, and the time on the notification is about two and a half hours ago, so I don't know why the gmail notifications wouldn't have came through at that time as well.
So with all of the knowledge and skills around here, no one has quite fully figured out the stock Doze functionality?
FWIW I don't seem to have this same issue on custom ROMs, at least not on Resurrection Remix.

delayed notifications on Pixel 3 XL

Got my pixel a few days ago. Not receiving notifications in time drives me nuts. So usually gmail notifications appear on screen as soon as I unlock and wait or after about 15-30 minutes after I received an email. Sometimes longer for whatsapp No battery saver, no adaptive battery, optimizations are off for gmail. Also tried all permutations of those settings. Tried factory reset and Q up and downgrade. Nothing seems to work. Happens on wifi and cellular. Devices isn't rooted.

Since you are fairly new here in terms of posts, why not update your profile with at least your location and carrier. We don't need your exact GPS coordinates, but knowing what city/country you live in and which carrier you are using can be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. Others in your area may also chime in with their experiences if they see you are close by. If you are on an MVNO, then state exactly which one. To start with, how many APN's do you have for your carrier and have you tested any other than the default? Verify your APN settings with your carrier's web site, and fill in any that are blank or wrong. Was your SIM from your last phone, or did you get a new SIM from your carrier provisioned for your Pixel? You should not have to tweak your phone at all for the issues you are describing. Just some thoughts. Cheers.

I have the same issues. I just ordered mine from Google, unlocked.
Sim from Sprint, updated PRL. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes I don't get notifications from my "battery charged" app.
It is frustrating. I don't know the fix, and I haven't mentioned it here either.
What seems to work so far is disabling deep/light idle via adb:
$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled

This will be lost on reboot
scrap that, it's not working either way. Don't know what to do, it's unusable that way. Kinda need fast notifications for business
I have the same problem, but, only with certain apps. I'm on Verizon in St Louis, USA. I'm currently on Q beta, but, this happened on Pie at least since the start of this year.
Messages does this the worst. I'll get the message on the web app sometimes a couple minutes before it pops up on my phone. A REALLY funny one, when connected to my SUV via Bluetooth, a message will popup on its screen several seconds, sometimes more before it does on my phone. So, to me it seems like the phone is getting them right away, but doesn't send the notification immediately?
Now, Outlook on my phone I get them before they show on my work computer. So, thankfully I'm not getting delayed work emails, that could be bad considering I'm a sys admin.
I've noticed with some others, like Facebook or whatever, that if I wake up my phone, unlock it, or another notification comes in, all of a sudden I'll get some for those if there are any. In checking FB it's definitely a late notification.
I just turned off adaptive battery yesterday for other reasons, that hasn't helped. I wonder if it's one of the battery settings though that are somehow affecting it. Like the optimization for example. I don't know. It's REALLY annoying though. This plus the Bluetooth problems that Google can't seem to fix (but no other phone that I know about has these problems), I'm really starting to get pushed away here. If it weren't for day one updates, the camera, and things like that, I'd consider jumping ship...
If anyone figures this out, let me know! I'll keep digging too.
disable adaptive battery + exempt apps from battery optimization

Yeah... that was the first thing I've tried. Haven't found any solution still. Basically gmail notifications don't work. Old mails will stay as unread for half-an hour and vice versa. Pretty useless

I noticed this for the first week after a clean flash then went back to normal
Might have something to do with the new battery management
So, I've been paying more attention to this, and, I've noticed something. Every time a notification doesn't come through, even though it pops up on my watch or my car, the tap to wake doesn't work. I wonder if the screen just isn't waking up for some reason? I'm not sure how that's controlled, so I don't know how one would fix it though.
Just wondering if anyone has figured this out. It is beyond ridiculous to have to wake up my phone in order for for a notification to come though. I am noticing this mostly with Gvoice and Gmail. My most frequently used and important apps. Connected to wifi 99% of the time as coverage is terrible in my area. All battery optimization is turned off. Also, it is intermittent. Most times things come through fine. For example. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at my phone and I Gvoice message went off as soon as I woke it up. In this case the message was coincidentally sent right then, but that is the same behavior I have been experiencing when a message is delayed. Phone and watch are quiet, wake phone, suddenly my watch and phone go off with one or more notifications from one or more apps.
The one thing I have noticed is that push notifications get effed up for certain apps and I have to turn off app notifications, fully close app/clear cache, re-enable notifications and turn the app back on/reboot.
