Whatsapp stopped working - keeps opening the Google Backup screen - LineageOS Questions & Answers

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?

[SOLVED]hangouts not receiving messages

So I recently upgraded to CM11 M6 and I've noticed an odd problem. When people message me on hangouts if the app isn't open, I don't get a notification on the phone at all. Then when I open the app I have to scroll through the ENTIRE conversation I've had message by message and it does the animation for each message. This means if I've been talking to somebody for an hour or so I have to scroll for like 5 minutes on my phone to get to the latest message. Anyone have any similar issues or know of a fix? This is only a problem for chat type messages, SMS comes in no problem
What I've tried:
Uninstalling updates from hangouts and google play services then reinstalling hangouts
Removing google account and readding it
EDIT: I think i've found the fix.
remove all phone entries from https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
Removed the google account from my phone.
reboot
readd google account to phone
SUCCESS!

No notification on Wechat or Google play app updates.

Hi pplz,
I'm currently on s.ROM but this problem has occurred in prior tried ROMs too.
I seem to get no notification for wechat incoming msg and even incoming voice or video calls. I only know this because friends have notified me and waiting for a reply via WhatsApp. I then proceed to open Wechat and behold I see multiple msgs waiting and the odd call missed.
I check to see if Wechat is running apps almost every time I reboot and it is with its services running. So what's the problem here?
I also get a similar problem with google play app update notifications... They never appear until I open Google play itself and look in My apps or when I reboot the phone then the notifications I get after the system has loaded.
So is this a problem with the app/gcm services they use? As WhatsApp and telegram runs perfectly.
I Xposed running with boot manager, greenify and amplify, but I have not selected any of these apps to touch the msging or google play apps.
I had the same problem prior to using Xposed FYI.
Any suggestion on what I could do? Or diagnose the problem.
Tks in advance.

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

Wear 2.0 Bugs - Any Solutions?

Seem to come across a few few bugs since updating OTA yesterday.
1. Play Store just not opening on the watch. Previously it would say no network. After factory resetting again it says: error while retrieving information from server rh-01
2. Google assistant. Trying to message people in my contacts by saying their name not working very well. The same contacts that worked flawlessly previously don't work anymore. As I say my request, it all gets typed out word for word, just as I said. These match up to the way the contacts are written out, but google assistant repeatedly just asks: To Whom?
3. Watch vibrates but no notification seen till I swipe up. Otherwise I have no idea that there has been a notification.
4. On incoming notifications such as whatsapp, I don't always have a reply button available. Sometimes it decides I can reply, sometimes there's just no option at all.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
Does your google assistant speak? I can't seem to make it speak when talking to it. It does reply only on screen with text.

Problem with Deepsleep

I decided to use the "Migrate" application to transfer my apps between ROMs more easily. But I noticed that after I used it, WhatsApp stopped being always active in the background to notify me of new messages, and worse, did not receive the message, it's like I force it to stop.
I believe it is the "Migrate" application that caused this condition. Is there anything I could do to solve this?
