[Q] Notifications not working - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm having an issue with not receiving notifications for missed calls or new voice mails. Does anybody have know what app precipitates those notifications? I do get notifications for text messages. All that being said, I have frozen over 100 apps with TB and undoubtedly froze something that I shouldn't have. I would hate to have to go through all those ice cubes trying to figure it out. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That is the problem, you have frozen stuff and none of us know what those things are.
Unfreeze them all. Reboot into recovery, clear dalvik and cache and fix permissions. Bet you the problem goes away.

My bad

When I was freezing apps, I pretty much followed the list furnished by Rooted in Vegas (which is excellent, BTW). I also froze the voicemail app thinking it was the worthless voice-to-text thing that you have to put up with for 30 days. Actually it is the notification app and when defrosted, I am again receiving voicemail notifications and still have a lot of bloatware frozen.
I did clear the caches and fix permissions before I restored the voicemail app and did get the LED notification for missed calls.

Even if/when following a reputable guide I'd work the Freezing only one (or a couple) at a time and test the _functions_ needed to ensure everything you use is still working, and continue to trim from there. When testing variables you first have to start with a known working _baseline_ or you are likely to end up with unexpected results, riiight ?
You might also write back to the creator of the Guide you are working with your findings. Just a thought *Grin*..

Notications Quit Vibrating - Epic 4G Touch

I have to admit that I do not know if this should go in Q&A or here... first time posting. So I have been trying to figure this out for the last week. I have researched EVERYWHERE and I am unable to find it.
Last week my E4GT quit vibrating for text messages and emails. I did load a couple applications around the time this started happening so I uninstalled them and this did not help. I noticed that a few others were having this same problem and downloaded an application called Smart Vibrator and this only allows you to get the text messages to vibrate, not the emails. I use K9 Mail for my emails.
Since I know that Sprint Customer Service loves to tell me that it is my phone instead of listening to me, I did a complete reset of the phone (what a pain) and wiped everything. I unrooted, rerooted, everything... Again, nothing. Anyone recommend anything?
Well if anyone is having this problem, I have tried everything. I did find a couple apps that seemed to have worked. Vibrate tools or Force vibration seems to help.
There's a free app called Sound Manager that will let you set the vibration status.
Any luck on this geojam?
What seems strange to me is that you did a "complete wipe and reset", and it still didn't work, but after the fact an app "fixed" it.
I would have said do a complete ODIN reset, and if it still not working, get a replacement because it's hardware...
Btw, welcome to XDA!

[Q] Missing Notifications

The last week I've been flashing a lot of ROMs, and one thing that I can't figure out is where my notifications are going. Each flash I'll restore my apps, and suddenly days old notifications start showing up. Sometimes I'll get the notifications after a reboot, but not often. Going into the app shows that I've got updates/unread messages/etc, so it seems the device is receiving the data.
Stupid question first: Does putting the phone into silent mode (vol rocker all the way down) suppress notifications even for the notification bar?
I'm not really sure where to start digging on this, so here are some random data points. If anyone has any suggestions to try I'm all ears, thanks!
1) Happens with system apps (eg SMS) and downloaded apps (eg Words, FB, Instagram, etc)
2) Notifications are enabled within the various apps. The only app I have deliberately disabled is the app that shows WiFi calling is enabled.
3) Pretty much always on WiFi. It's a little dodgy at work (cuts in and out as I move around the building)
4) I've tried various ROMs, has happened on rooted stock, Wicked, Infamous.
5) I've cleared cache, dalvik, app cache, app data, reinstalled apps, etc.
6) Typically I use TiBu to restore apps + data. Though I have tried 'cleanly' from Play.

Well how old is the backup? Its prolly restoring old notifications that got backed up when you restored your backup.

Running a TiBu backup is the last thing I do before flashing a new ROM, and I can say with relative certainty that the notifications that do show up are new

So you are saying, AFTER restoring your backup, notifications are not coming as they are received?

Sorry for the confusion! Steps typically go like this:
ROM showing no new notifications -> TiBu apps -> flash new ROM -> Restore apps (either through TiBu or through Play and logging back into the app, usually the latter) -> Notifications start coming in that were timestamped while still running the old ROM -> Eventually notifications stop showing up randomly again
Again, it's not all apps, as I still get most notifications.

My only assumption, from what i can gather, is that the apps aren't running their notification receivers. Im not exactly sure what you are talking about to be honest xD unless, the app notices that the notifications aren't their, and restores them?

Hah! No, that sounds exactly like what's going on...apps are sleeping and not waking up to display the notifications. I'll just bite the bullet and start completely from fresh.

[Q] Massive lag for a single contact on stock SMS app

This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse.
For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and the phone keeps completely freezing for up to 10-15 seconds EACH letter I type! It's not just the SMS app itself, but even the keyboard freezes up and is unresponsive. I can keep typing and it will apparently actually record the next 30 or so taps and just blaze through them ... then lag for another half minute or so again. None of the settings (how little there are) have had any effect. Once I click send the message also takes a bit before it appears and starts to send. Any action with this contact open in the SMS app seems to lag my phone like a unusable nightmare.
Since this is the person I tend to text the most, I have been tempted to crush the phone in my hand at this point. It is ONLY happening with them, and ONLY after the 4.4.3 update. It's not consistent either; I was still having this issue earlier today, but right now as I wanted to text him again it was working perfectly lag-free.
I know the first response anyone is going to say is to wipe my phone, but with this being the only issue I have, I really do not want to completely obliterate everything and start over from scratch just to fix one person in my SMS app. On top of that, I want to keep my SMS texting history as well. (Plus I would have no idea if restoring a backup wouldn't also restore the issue).
Has anyone else encountered or heard of anything like this? Or has any ideas of anything OTHER than wiping the phone or my SMS history I can try? Considering the app only pre-loads the last 10 or so messages when you open a contact anyway, I highly doubt it's my history. I am going nuts with this stupid thing.
It is probably something in that message thread.
Deleting all messages from that person will surely fix it, based on what you've said.
You can try wiping the messaging apps cache. Other than that, I think you're stuck.
Second the opinion above. If it's only one message thread doing it, seems likely it's something unique to that thread. Too many messages, pics, etc. I used to use Titanium Backup to save messages between rom flashes, back when I cared about them, so a backup app can save the messages, let you delete the thread and see if it still happens with a blank slate.

Delayed Notifications In Android P

First off, I disabled adaptive battery in Android P. Ever since the upgrade from 8 to 9, I noticed that notifications are right around 5 minutes late. I have a couple time-sensitive apps that I need notifications right away. Gmail and another app for my home automation. In Android 8, the were flawless. However, ever since going to 9, not so much.
I also noticed that when I delete messages in the gmail app for gmail and an IMAP email server I have it does nothing with the messages on the server. I login to webmail from a computer and the messages are still in the Inbox.
Anyone have any ideas? I am going to try a wipe again to see if it resolves the issues, but I am out of ideas. I had the above issues in Android 9 beta as well. I would downgrade and it fixed them.
I have the same thing and it turns out it is a common issue with Pie. I have not found a solution yet. I have read all kinds of things people have tried and nothing seems to help. Sorry that I can't be more positive. Hopefully Google will figure something out and fix in an update.
Here is a two page post I started about the issue but there are also many others online describing the same thing:
https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-pie/904647-notifications-delayed-stopped.html
My thought is that the delayed notifications are due to Android Pies implementation of adaptive battery. Maybe try excluding the apps you want to receive notifications from in a timely manner?

You don't happen to have data saver in the quick tiles turned on by accident do you? That does prevent notifications from getting pushed. Both my parents had this on and a bunch of notifications came through after turning it off. I made sure to remove it from even being an available option.

been fighting with this issue as well, but it only seems to be gmail, and a couple other apps, my sms notifications seem to come through fine, at least as far as I can tell. I've turned off adaptive battery etc, nothing seems to make a difference. sometimes i can turn my screen on and all the notifications will come flooding in, other times they come through 10ish min later.
yes i have also these issue
and i opened thread on these https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/gmail-sync-problems-pie-t3839357
also i tried many apps, but instead of gmail but yet i didn't find any solution

Made sure it was off early on. No change.
The best way to describe my issue is that once the screen times out and has been off for at least about 5 minutes, notification sounds are delayed. It is sort of like the phone goes into a deeper sleep or something and then the problem arises. As soon as I use my fingerprint to wake the phone, all notifications blast through.
The delay can vary. Sometimes it is only 15 minutes or so, but often it is much longer. It is almost like once in a while an app wants to call home or something and to do so wakes up the phone just enough to allow some notifications through.
There also seem to be some issues with individual apps and notifications that may be fixed when a developer updates their app for Pie. For example, most apps notify immediately when the screen is on or within that first 5 minutes or so after the screen goes off. But since installing Pie, Kuna always has a delay of 5 to 10 minutes before notifying. Kuna does this 100% of the time. In fact if I have the phone awake, looking at the screen when walking out the front door, when the motion sensor is triggered, immediately there is a notification icon. But the sound notification is always delayed. This seems like an issue with Kuna and they are well know for being very slow with updates and fixes but eventually they do fix things. But the notification sound delays described in this thread do indeed seem like a system issue with Pie. Hopefully enough people will have the issue that Google will figure it out and fix.
I am having same issues after updating to Android P. At first, notifications came late about 5 min, but then they started to vary some coming in 15-30 minutes later. Can't figure out what is causing the time difference but either way I can't find a fix. I spoke with Google support and they had no fix as well.

Nope, they didn't mention anything about existing issues or being aware of the issue.
Any one found any solutions or fixes? I feel like my notifications are becoming even more delayed now and have also realized I'm not getting a lot of various notifications at all (through many different apps).
I am guessing you all are aware of this, and have tried, however I just found this recently and thought I would share for anyone that doesn't know.... Settings > Apps and Notifications > Advanced > Special App Access ..... Lots of options here with one of them being battery optimization for individual apps. After I upgraded to P, hardly any of my frequently used apps were given full battery use. Haven't played with all the other options there, however just granting apps full battery seemed to help me out.

Just updated some settings, now we wait and see if these buried settings fix my delays.. here's to hoping! :good:

One of the first things I tried was giving full useage, (no battery optimization) for all apps that I want notifications from. Did not help. Many other apps are still being optimized. I thought I had previously found a way to turn off all battery optimization but because I do have many apps in that list that are being optimized, I obviously did not. Right now I can't find a global setting to turn off battery optimization even though I thought I did before?
So I noticed this morning, that the main app/notification that's super delayed (5-10min after the event should have triggered) it doesn't happen when my phone is plugged in or i have the screen on in my hand. Even after going through all the battery save features and making sure this app is exempt from them, it still happens if the screen is off, or my phone is off the charger. super annoying. wish there was a fix for this already!

Verizon sent me a replacement because of this problem. I was apprehensive, but got a very nice re-furb. Still have the same problem, but I got a phone that is indicated as Verizon on the LG site. In developer mode, the bootloader unlock button works. I guess everything isn't bad. I sure hope Google straightens this out soon.

This happens only with Gmail on my phone - WhatsApp and Messages send instant notifications. Messages isn't optimized, the other apps are.
I can live with that, no big deal. Perhaps disabling battery optimization for Gmail would fix this, though.
Interesting note: I was talking to YouMail support today about something else but I asked about an issue where I get an email and transcript of a new voicemail but when I go to the YouMail app that voicemail is not shown until I drag down from the top of the screen to refresh the list. Support told me they are aware of this but can not do anything because it is a problem with the "latest Android version causing delay". So it is becoming a more widely known issue and hopefully Google will fix soon.
Thanks for all the feedback. Speaking of delay, I think I have tried just about every fix here and then some and still no luck. Wiping the phone did nothing as well. At this point, I would almost like to revert back to v8 to get this fixed.
I tried this supposed fix, (reply #51). https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...ifications-delayed-stopped-3.html#post6355714
No idea if it worked for me as when you restart the phone you need to do it again and less than 30 minutes after I went through the steps, my Pixel2 got the October update for Pie and required a restart!

Question Signal App Notification Issue

Hello,
I have got this great phone, with OriginOS, unfortunately. Removed most of the Chinese apps. Now the phone is doing well.
I have one single issue. "Signal" app DOES NOT WORK.
I removed vivo.pem. The phone is much better with notifications generally, although the battery drains way faster.
However, the Signal app notification still does not work. I tried every single solution out there. Nothing worked.
Current situation: I receive the messages. I get the notification "sound", but nothing visual. No bubble. No kuck screen notification. No floating. No nothing. Sound only.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it dozens of times. Joined beta. Left beta. Installed from play store. Installed from app source.
Nothing worked.
One piece of information that might help. When installing the app, I get the first couple of notifications " visually". Then it stops. And this can be repeated. So, every time I uninstall it and reinstall it again, I get a couple of notifications before it stops.
Again, all permissions are given to the app. I do receive the messages, but not the notification. I either need to hear the sound or open the app manually to check them.
All my other communications apps work flawlessly. Whatsapp, outlook, sms.
Please help.
I have IQOO 9 Pro.
I have a similar issue with Google Message. I do not get notificiation at all.
I do get them on my smartwatch though. Go figure !
This Origin OS is a bit of mystery tbh.

Try a light theme, maybe the dark one on the dark one has problems with notifications.
