[Q] Not receiving notifications when the phone is asleep.

Is anyone else having this issue? The device fails to receive notifications from Gmail, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. until I turn on the screen and unlock the phone. I'm currently connected to Wifi. There's a lot of crap apps that I disabled, so maybe that could be the culprit? Perhaps I disabled a necessary one on accident? Maybe there's a bloatware app that's disabling my Wifi? I haven't changed any Wifi settings and I don't see any noticeable culprit in the settings menu. Either way, here's the list of my disabled apps.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

When you say not receiving, is it not notifying you until you wake it up, or is the notification icon there, it just doesn't play a sound?

It's legitimately not receiving any notifications after until I wake it up.

I give up.
I've tried everything at this point. I reset the phone twice. I monitored it on both Wifi and Cellular data. I monitored as many stock apps as I could. Something is stopping the damn phone from receiving data while it's asleep and I have no clue what the hell it is. I've scoured the settings menu countless times as well. Seeing how there's no replies, I'm just assuming that I'm the only person with this issue. I might have to just exchange the phone because I'm starting to believe that it's a hardware problem. Doesn't seem like it really, but damn this is annoying.

Have the same problem. Chatted with 2 people at Samsung, both useless.
The first person told me that "you will receive only notifications for text messages and call logs on the lock screen". I told her there should be a tiny icon near carrier name...
The 2nd person suggested I contact AT&T.
Like to know if anyone has more info regarding this issue.

possible solution
I have experienced same issue particularly with hangouts for me. From the brief searching I did about this I found it seems a common issue with Android lately and also saw an app suggested called pnf--push notification fixer. I have tried it and seems to do the trick. Something you may find helpful. Root and non root versions in play store.

Google was down this morning. Hangouts, and gmail wetter effected. It should be back up and working now. You may have also experienced they Google Play Services crashing.

Not receiving some push notifications

Has anyone experienced problems with some notifications? Just recently I stopped receiving push notifications for both Hangouts and Whatsapp? My messages only appear when I enter the app. I've even cleared the app data for Hangouts, uninstalled, reinstalled, and it solved the problem but only temporarily. I can't determine if it's a phone, marshmallow, or app issue. This is my first time on marshmallow and I've never experienced this before coming from KitKat on my HTC M8.

I've had the same issue since updating the OS software last week. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I'm not receiving push notifications for any apps anymore. All settings are turned on to receive them. I've even downloaded an app to push the notifications and it doesn't work.

Are you sure DND mode is not active?

Absolutely positive.
I managed to fix it through a whatsapp forum about not receiving push notification for that particular app. Hopefully this helps the OP.
When I got my phone I restricted background data on google services because it used 10gb of data within a 10 minute period of turning on my phone, mostly coming from that. For the first 2 months I was still getting push notifications for all my apps, but with the most recent OS update something must have changed it so the settings were no longer compatible.
So I re-enabled background data on google services and it started to work.
See if that helps. If not, I'm stuck on ideas.
Good luck an let us know how you go.

I was wondering if anyone had any problems with yahoo mail I only recently get emails notifications Wen I open the app I can't find anywhere in settings Were you can change sync every 5 minutes or so on I don't know what it's set at

Facebook messenger keeps dying

Hey! I'm having an issue with facebook messenger since the nougat update(I'm now on OOS 4.0.2) . After turning the screen off messenger and all of its services are killed(I checked in running services), including chathead service and messaging service. Unfortunately with no messaging service I can't receive any messages until I manually start the app. I updated through OTA without factory resetting, after the problem occurred I tried factory resetting but it didn't help. Does anyone know if this is a messenger problem or a nougat problem and of any possible fix?

Go to settings -> battery - > Aggressive doze and app hibernation -> find fb messenger and put it into not optimized app group.

I don't have aggressive doze turned on, also auto close high power usage apps is turned off.

I think your problem should be solved if you gonna use Facebook with chrome meanwhile. It's updating your news, messages and notifications in your statusbar. It's more battery friendly. Or use the app "swipe for Facebook". The official fb-app isn't the best choise - the battery drain is huge. @thalvadzhiev

I'm not sure the problem is connected to the main Facebook app, since I'm getting Facebook notifications(like if someone posted in a group), but I'm not getting messenger notifications.

Try to clear app data and cache of Messenger app, you won't lose your chats, only settings. Then login again and report here again

@thalvadzhiev do what @slmadmax said. It makes sure your messenger won't be killed.

I don't even have aggressive doze turned on. Also I've found that usually messenger survives through the night but once I start using it during the day it starts dying again. Since doze is on through the night and doesn't kill it maybe it is not the one that kills it during the day too.

No notifications

Hi,
I have a OP3 running OxygenOS 4.0.3.
The phone has been running without issues, but now I have one.
A couple of days ago I turned the battery saver on. Ever since then, for notifications, it is behaving like if it was in battery saving mode. So, I don't get gmail, outlook, facebook, ... notifications. Telegram is working tough.
In parallel, I've tried to set-up Google Prompt as 2nd step authentication and I'm getting the following error:
"It looks like you have a compatible phone, but it's not online. "
I can confirm that my phone is online and that I can browse the internet. Probably this has the same root cause as the notifications problem.
Any help?

Do a factory reset and setup your Google account again. Looks like the phone is not able to contact the Google servers.

Thanks for the answer,
The phone is capable of reaching google servers. If I open the Gmail app for example and refresh, it fetches my mails.

I think that somehow the problem is that applications are not accessing data in the background.

I have a similar problem. When I'm connected to wifi I miss and not receive some notifications. Even got me in a bind a few times with work. Uugh

App notification issue

Hi everyone,
I'm having an unusual issue with notifications from apps such as whatsapp, Gmail and Skype. They do not show notifications unless I open the app. Both in sleep mood and active.
I did all type of troubleshooting such as clearing app data and Google play services etc.
Ultimately I loved to Android P beta and did a clean wipe. Still the issue is there.
When contacted Google they asked me to send the device back to us so that they will replace. Currently I'm in Myanmar and it will be very costy to send it US.
Any thoughts on this strange issue would be highly appreciated and will press thanks!
