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

Hi.
Gmail keeps updating and eating storage space without asking me first.
I don't want it, as I prefer the htc client...so how do I stop it happening, automatic updating is NOT ticked.
I'm concerned about how this happens, as it implies any application can update without my permission which would seem to be a privacy risk (although its the storage usage that concerns me most)?

Are you rooted? I have not seen gmail update but deleting it should stop it from updating.
Gmail is a push email system so when an email appears in your inbox it will be pushed to your phone. It's how Android works. Although, as you said, turning off Gmail sync should stop this...
Apologies, maybe I wasn't so clear. It's not that 'emails keep arriving' that I'm on about!
I mean the actual "Google Mail" application itself. I don't use it...I have tried it on occasion but I always come back to using the HTC Mail application because I prefer the UI and I don't need instant push email, I'm happier scheduling to recieve mail every few hours.
BUT...what I find is that every so often, the Google Mail application UPDATES itself with a new release from the Market. I don't want that to happen, and I have to "remove the updates".
Same happened with Flash for a while which kept insisting on installing a big update that I had no interest in recieving, although that seems to have disappeared from my Applications list now (and I can still use Flash fine).
I'm not rooted, the stock ROM is fine for me, I've toggled that setting that enables all apps to install directly to SD...but things like the updates to Google Mail seem to take up a load of on phone storage.
Ah right!!! Unless Google ignores things for system updates I can't comment. I have the opposite issue in that nothing updates automatically ever!!
In the market page, can you turn off "automatic updates"? I think for google mail it is on by default.
Hmm, am having this same problem. Gmail App keeps updating, dispite auto-updates (for gmail app) unchecked. Problem is I'm using email-notifier app, which only works w/ earlier version, hence I need the current gmail version to remain.
For what it's worth, this is a non-HTC phone / stock ROM. Found this thread via google search and am posting here (sorry to revive old thread) in case there is some other 'android wide' solution someone's come up with.

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.

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.

Hike is working fine! (indian messenger app)
i got this problem first time from facebook messenger, it wasn't loading new messages, then suddenly facebook stopped loading and finally play store and everything else.
i tried updating all apps, uninstalling and reintsalling these apps, uninstall and reinstall play store app completely [removed even factory version and used an olde backup i had on my pc to install it again] , but nothing worked!!!
is there any serious issue with android going on these days or what?

Start with restarting modem, then turn off sync and see if something changes.
There is also option to turn off wifi power saving in service menu (it was somewhere in forum).
Go as close to modem as possible.

i already did modem resetting, restarting and even allocated dedicated IP for the android device. but nothing happens, though i found a small thing, when i restart modem, things work and i get push messages/notifications for a very small amount time say 4-5 seconds thats it!
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

I have a Motorola Moto X Pure with the latest Lineage OS, and for a while now I've been having trouble with Whatsapp.
I stopped receiving notifications about incoming messages, and whenever I open the app I get a screen that asks me about backing up whatsapp into Google Drive.
I can't select my account in this screen (it tells me it can't connect to it), and if I tell it to never run the backup, I can continue into my whatsapp, but the next time I start the app, the same screen will show up again.
I tried contacting whatsapp about this, but they (rather rudely) said that they do not give support to rooted devices.
Anyone else encountered this issue?
