No push notifications from idle apps - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Helllo there!
Since a long time, I am experiencing issue with push notifications on my device. Especially when an app is not used for few days, the notifications stops appearing from the app. The frequently used app are displaying notifications.
Is it common? Anyone experiencing this? Is there a setting which I can change to get this fixed?
Tired searching the forum but could not find any info.
This was happening when I was running OxygenOS 4.1.6 and even after recently upgrading to Open Beta 20, the problem still exists.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

Turn off the Battery Optimization for the apps... it is part of Android's "Doze" functionality.

I had this issue when I chose "deep clear" in recent app management and cleared the tasks. After switching to "normal clear", and re-starting apps everything started working as normal again.

[Q] What's going on with my notifications?? [Possible Greenify issue]

My phone is greenified (Google Search and Google Play Services as well) and a lot of apps are frozen through Titanium Backup. I also have Wakelock Terminator installed and set to terminate wakelocks coming from Google Play Services. The wakelocks I have set are:
NlpCollectorWakeLock
com.google.android.gms
AudioIn
I've recently noticed that quite often, I won't receive notifications until I turn on my screen. Just now I turned on my screen and received a WhatsApp notification from 40 minutes prior.
WhatsApp is NOT greenified on my phone so I'm not really sure what is causing the notifications to sleep until I turn on my screen. Would anyone have a clue as to what might be causing this?
Same here
I too started noticing the exact same issues you mention, probably about a month ago now. At first I thought it was greenify too, even though I have pro and gcm push enabled which never caused issues in the past.
But temporarily disabling greenify didn't solve anything.
Then I thought it was unbounce xposed module, now called lion tamer. But disabling that made no difference either.
I assumed I had messed the phone up with various mods and had to live with consequences. But recently I stumbled across an app on the playstore called "Push Notification Fixer"
It appears that these delays in notifications are due to a problem at Google end. And I have a feeling one of the recent firmware update from LG has made the problem more apparent to us. I still don't understand why more users aren't noticing and reporting this though....

Use the "Root Push Notification Fixer". it's a fantastic app that makes push notifications so much more reliable.

Just did a wipe but if I notice this happening again, I'll try this. Thanks!

No notifications while on standby. Bluetooth constantly turns off. What gives?

I got my Pixel XL (unbranded) earlier this month, and as much as I wanted to love the phone, two consistent issues keep happening which are making me despise it.
The first issue is my phone refuses to retrieve Push notifications while it's on standby. I will get no notifications from any app until I physically wake my phone. As soon as I pick the phone up and turn on the screen, BAM, a billion notifications. This is true even for Google apps like gmail and hangouts. I have seen lots of threads on this subject dating back years for various devices, and none of the 'solutions' fixes my situation. Battery Optimization isn't on, and even when I toggle it on and exempt all my apps, it still does it. IPv6 is disabled at my home network level. I disabled the Connectivity service. I enabled notification importances and set all apps to high. I turned off WiFi while on standby. I begrudgingly did a full reset. Nothing has worked.
The second issue is related to bluetooth. I cannot get it to stay on. It turns itself off whenever it feels like, so whenever I get into my truck and expect my GPM to start playing, all I get is "The bluetooth stereo device is not connected." I take pride in my attentive driving, which means if I forget to reconnect everything while still in my driveway, I now have to pull over just to get some tunes playing. Getting infuriating...
So, I'm at my last nerve. I turn to the Gods of XDA for your advice before I return this thing. Is there any fix to all this? I'm not opposed to rooting or using custom images. I just want my phone to work.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
Google is aware if the Bluetooth issue, the Feb update caused it. They are working on a fix.
I got nothing on the notifications. Gmail doing that is quite common and goes beyond the Pixel. Never heard of anyone having issues with other apps.
You running any doze programs or task killers?

It wasn't the Feb update. Bluetooth got bugged in the 7.1.1 update for me personally.

No, the phone is pretty much stock. I have Skype and a couple games on it, but nothing that would interfere with network connectivity while on standby. Just to be sure, Doze is Battery Optimization in the settings, right? It's default to off, but after experiencing issues, I turned it on and exempted all apps. Didn't work, so I turned it off again.
I've never had this issue with GMail. The latest I have ever been notified of a new email from gmail is about 5 mins. Now, I go hours without them up until I wake my phone. And again, this is for all apps that have actual push notifications. I'll pick up my phone, then get a slew of new emails, skype messages, hangouts, etc...

Widgets stop working after a while in Oreo...

Hi,
I find that widgets have become a mess after the Oreo update. I use two news apps (BBC and Guardian) with widgets. Both of them have issues with their widgets now.... The widgets do not update and sometimes they hang completely and I must remove them and place them back on the screen to allow them to work again.
I have noticed that even the pre-installed weather widget stops updating after a while....
Does anybody else see this problem?
Hi there,
This may be related to Oreo force closing background apps for saving battery. You may check Battery settings for those two apps. If it is set as Managed Automatically, try to make them Managed Manually. It should be in Settings > Apps and Notifications > Apps > (your app) > Battery.
Bests
I tried to manage their background activities manually and enabled all three permissions but it doesn't make any difference.
Also, the weather widget is not in the list so there is nothing to do about that.
The problem is intermittent and sometimes it takes several days to show up, which makes me think it is indeed related to some battery management algorithms but I can't find a way to solve the problem.
I never saw this behaviour during the year I used the phone on Android 7.0.
On an unrelated note I also find that the Wi-Fi connection drops more frequently if the signal is low, particularly when the phone is in stand-by. Again, I had never seen this behaviour before the Oreo update...

Apps closing

Nobody else has this issue? It does not matter what I do. I've made apps battery optimization exempt, I've changed any and all settings that you can and yet apps like Netflix, Samsung Health absolutely refuse to stay open for lengthy periods of time. Sometimes they're even still running and yet dissapear from the notification bar. I've tried everything. Even locking h m in the recent apps menu doesn't work. Is the an EMUI 5 bug?

Apps not updating when phone not in use...

Has anyone else noticed this? I've noticed it with the Gmail and Youtube apps specifically but it could be happening on other things and I've just not noticed. If I have emails and delete read them on my desktop then the notification doesn't clear on my phone and notifications for YouTube subscriptions appear when I unlock my phone. I don't think it's happening 100% of the time, I have watched email notifications clearing when I clear the emails on my desktop but it's happening enough for me to notice and make this thread. Power mode is on high performance, pretty sure it's all set the same as my Note 9 was, so is this another niggle that an update is going to sort?
Battery optimization settings?
That was my initial thought but it's configured the same as my Note 9 was and I didn't have any issues with that.
Something not quite right here. I woke up to no notifications for Gmail so I've disabled adaptive battery for it and it's still hit and miss with notifications.
No one else at all getting these issues?

Mine was doing something similar and the battery optimisation setting was turned off so I delved into gmail settings and found that all of the labels that I need notifications for had been set to No Notification [emoji15][emoji848] so I turned the notifications back on for the labels and it works just fine now [emoji6]

Yes, I do experience the same issues. I've checked the notification settings and battery optimizing settings multiple times. It is exactly the same as my Note 8. My Note 8 displays the notifications directly while my Note 10 doesn't.
At least it looks like it's a Note 10 issue then.
Yes I seem to be experiencing the same issue. Thought it was odd I didn't have any gmail notifications and went into the app and all the emails came in.
I can feel my sanity returning. I even did a full wipe yesterday and set it up fresh instead of the smart switch I did originally and it's still doing it.
I swear it's getting worse which makes absolutely no sense at all. Before it just occasional times but now I'm having to go into the app every time to find emails.
Talking to myself now but...
I had the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 arrive today, they're sat on my desk side by side, the Tab is getting Gmail alerts and my Note 10+ isn't.
Have y'all looked at Don"t kill my app - Samsung?
I tried turning battery optimisation off for it and it didn't seem to make a difference.
Same issue here with Gmail notifications. Checked all the options. It was working before the security update though I'm not sure if there's correlation.
Same here with Gmail.
Same issue.
I don't get push notifications with gmail app as well.
Seems like the culprit is the Note 10 in this situation.
However try another email app and see if the problem exists.
Randomly started working yesterday perfectly and then stopped again.
Same issue. No Gmail notifications. App only refreshes when I open it.
Same issue. Turning off battery optimization does not help. Only seems to be happening with gmail for some reason.
