Not receiving wunderground alerts - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All,
I have a VZW note 4 and have installed the wunderground app. In the app is a way to receive push notification alerts for severe weather. My problem is that I never receive any push notifications. I can open the app and see the red triangle indicating an alert has occurred but I need a way for it to alert me without opening the app.
I am thinking that this may be related to apps that I have frozen using the lists from this forum and other XDA note 4 forums. I currently have above 150 frozen apps/services but weather, wundergroud, nor anything with "push" in the title is frozen.
I do receive notifications from other apps such as text messages, etc so I know that I am capable of receiving push notifications.
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be preventing wunderground to not send these push notifications to my device? I have configured it properly per wunderground support.

The obvious solution is to enable all disabled apps and services. Chances are you did this yourself.
If it works after enabling everything, you can disable in small groups at a time until you find what the problem is.
If it doesn't work after enabling everything, you can try more complicated things.

Yes I have unfrozen everything but it is not like I can immediately test it because severe weather alert are not a daily thing around here. Was hoping someone else might have run into this issue and already solved it.

Just to follow up on this issue I may have found the problem. It was not with frozen apps but rather the use of nova launcher. I found a setting in nova under the labs section called "restart widgets on resume". I don't know much about it but the description is "only enable if having problems with widgets no updating". I have turned that on and now the weather widget is updating on my hourly schedule and I have started receiving weather alerts from a 2nd app (saf-t-net) that I have installed. Previously neither of these was working. I have yet to get any wunderground alert but there has not been a NWS alert yet. I may get that later today though.

Notifications not working for apps

So ive had my S3 since the beginning of November and have had no problems. Around the beginning of December I did an OTA update to Jelly Bean and everything was working great. Christmas morning comes around and i was recieving notifcations through all my apps like normal, but starting in the afternoon notifications stopped from such apps as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat..etc. I checked setttings and all notifications are turned on for each individual app, i went under accounts and sync is turned on. Went into the individual app and checked settings, logged out and back into them. Went as far as to uninstall everything and reinstall the apps but still no notifications are coming through. Ive turned off and restarted the phone. Its becoming a real pain now having to continiously check all my apps to see if ive recieved anything.
I did a google search and found a site where someone else was having the same problem but there were never any resolutions. Has anyone else here come across this problem and know how to resolve it? am i really going to have to reinstall the OS to fix? it seems odd that my text and kik are the only ones that still recieve push notifications. Please let me know, its driving me crazy!
Twitter has done this for me every upgrade for months. I can correct it by going to settings, click my account then notifications, change something, hit back, wait for the toast to say it was saved then change it back.
Facebook used to be similar, but on the new more native app I have yet to get the notifications to work completely att the time for replies and a few other things.

[Q] gmail panel notification stop working.

Hello guys, my gmail notification doesn’t work anymore: the email is received correctly so the sync works, and if I use another notifier (like Go Notification app) it works, but not the gmail notification. It stops working I presume after installed the K9mail app, for fix the annoying issue for long mail cut by gmail ( I wasn’t able to see my Expedia reservation LoL), but now seems that Google finally fix that bug.
I tried several times to clear/stop/sync unsync, but nothing! I uninstalled K9mail, downgrade gmail…nothing: the gmail notification in the panel doesn’t want to show up, all others notification are ok, even the standard samsung mail app.
Of course the gmail settings are ok: sync, notification panel and so on.
I’m pretty sure there is somewhere a conflict, but really no idea where.
Any advice?
I’ve a At&T stock rom JB 4.1.1 Rooted.
Thanks

If you are using the latest Gmail inbox with categories, then notification is enabled by default on the primary folder only. To enable for other folders, open the folder eg updates, click on menu>label settings. Check label notification and notify for every mail.

Doesn't work. I searched around internet and seems there was a bug with K9mail notification and Gmail. They fixed but apparently not completely. Before i installed K9mail everything was ok, now there is something messed up, and my gmail notifications are gone.

Galaxy Watch notifications for what's app

Hi Everyone,
Requesting some help for an issue that I am facing with my galaxy watch. Not able to receive ONLY what's app notifications on the watch. All other app notifications work fine ( Messages, emails, weather or any other app that gives me notifications ) works good.
1. Looked for all settings related to notifications on the phone and watch. All look fine unless I have missed out something important related to whats app.
2. Reset the gear watch but that didn't help either
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled what's app just to make sure but that didn't work too.
Running out of ideas and looking for suggestion please.
I expect you have checked the Galaxy Wearable settings menu entry notifications list of apps and found (or not found) the What's app ?

Hi,
Yes, I have selected all apps in notifications and still same issue. I just also noticed that it doesn't work for Facebook notifications too, not too sure if that helps but thought of mentioning it. I have tried all settings possible on the watch and the phone, reset the watch but unfortunately it didn't work.
Working notifications :- Messages, Emails, weather, calls, alarms
Non working :- Facebook, whats app and some other 3rd party apps. I understand that some 3rd party apps may not have native support but ya, thats my current status.
Thank you for trying to help and please suggest if any other idea.

I assume that you do get notifications on your phone for the apps in question - otherwise, you have to adjust the setting for those.

Hi,
I had enabled them on the phone but the same issue. Thank you for your time though. Something completely unexpected at least for me that helped me resolve the issue and frankly I don't understand how. So here is how it worked, I am currently travelling and purchased a SIM that I inserted in the primary slot of my phone and the default SIM I always use is in the secondary. I swapped and that resolved my issue. I don't even know if that is related and I should have known about it but thankfully helped me end my worries and some ridiculous amount of time I spent resolving it.
Thank you again. You have a good one !

Same here with redmi note 8 global version. Tried Yaata, Chomp sms, textra same result no notification sound. So first they installed Google message app then blocked all others. Bravo!
Update
Redmi note 8 have combined sms and notification sound. So only app that dont have their own notification sound will work. Like facebook messenger works if used for sms.
Strange limitation.
TEXTRA sound and notifications
hey guys ! I had a similar issue while using textra , it´s definitly permissions ! when installing it may not be enough just saying allow for the questions that textra asks , be sure to go to textra permission and allow " sound " ( or similar ) worked like a charm for me !
cheers !
Yea ran into this thread as I also had the same problem with Textra. I received my Redmi Note Pro 4 days ago and did a phone swap from an LG G8 only minutes ago.
For anyone else that might run into this, I had to go into the Settings/notifications section and played around with all 3 pages (lockscreen, floating, and badges) to get texta notification sounds.
As an aside, I transferred all my backed up notifications/call logs saved over time from every phone this phone# has used so that all history is intact. (Thanks to the SMS and Call Log backup app).
Both the LG G8 and this phone's stock messaging app do not show the actual messages, and the Redmi's will not even bring up the keyboard when I go into a conversation. Textra works perfectly!
Depending on text app you are using, you may have more or less tuning to do in order to get the notifications, and then it also depends what permission you are going to give there and what mode you are on (General, Silent, DND).
Also note some older apps just do not deal with the new way notifications works since Orea in that case no matter what you do, you may not receive notifications at all.
Personally I am using Signal which also allows me to have a per contact different notification and which works with overriding DND if contact is stored on phone and stared (do not forget to star contacts you want to pass through DND mode).
As a general rule of thumbs, you always need to make sure the following are set up per app you want notification to work.
Obviously make sure in the actual app settings, notifications is turned on.
Unlike previous post I dont/want need floating notifications and lock screen notifications for security reasons. That said you can leave lock screen and hide content. That's a per app setting too.
In that notification page, you may have additional settings to set at the bottom, like for example in Signal you also have a MESSAGE sub-section where you can tune up notification sensitivity on a stared contact. If you want to be sure to receive notification for that particular contact set it to "High" importance. In signal at the end of that contact list you have "Default" option where all messages from unstared contacts/numbers goes. Mine is set to low, because I don't want to receive any notifications for those when I am in DND.
Also make sure to play with battery optimization triggers. To avoid issues I usually have no restrictions on apps I want to receive notifications from like text apps, so I run them without restrictions at all. That's a handful of apps anyway.
Finally if none of the above works for you or if your app has never updated its way to handle notifications which have changed with Android updates, you may have to install a third party app to deal with them.
As a turn around when I dont manage to fix the notifications I want, or if the app is not able to override DND, I use MacroDroid.
I give all the required permission (including Autostart and no battery restriction) to play notifications properly on that MacroDroid app notification permissions, and then I create a new macro for the app (or all the apps, multiple apps can be selected at once) I want to receive.
As trigger I set Notification received, set parameters I want to use and apps concerned then as Action I set Play sound with selecting the sound I want to play. All done.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Gmail sync/notification error

After moving from OP7T from OP5, I am having trouble getting new mail notification in the Gmail app. Notification is severely delayed in most cases, and sometimes work when the phone is woken up. I don't see Gmail listed under Battery Optimization, so I'm not sure whether Gmail is getting killed off or not. Anyone else having the same issue? I tried locked the app in the recent apps screen, but nothing improved.

I too have this problem. I haven't gotten any notification from the Gmail app till now. At the same time mails from Outlook and Yahoo are getting notified without any issues.

Yep I am having this issue too.
I've been seeing this issue for quite some time, even with previous phones, including Samsung.
I posted in Google Support Forum too, as well as in the OnePlus forum. No solution/communication from the support/dev yet
To me it seems sporadic tho; if I get an email verification from some site, it will usually come through right away. But I do find that when the phone is sleeping I wake it up sometimes and a few emails come they all of a sudden.
