Notification issues - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Two Verizon Note 8s in this house. Neither one is handling notifications well. We're coming from two Note 4s that never had any issues with notifications.
Issues:
1. I have twitter, facebook, gmail installed and am using the Verizon messenger app. My phone generally makes sounds when I get a notification, but the notification light only blinks every once in a while. I don't use AOD, so I rely on the notification light to tell me when I have notifications. There have been times when my phone has been idle for an hour or two where I don't get notifications until I turn on the screen.
2. Wife's phone. She gets a lot more notifications than I do. She is having problems with notifications not coming in after the phone sits idle for a few hours. Once the phone screen is turned back on, all of the notifications come rushing in and she gets a ton of alert sounds in a row.
I have not been able to figure out what's going on with this. I checked to make sure that do not disturb is turned off. Neither one of us use it.
Is this a software issue, or something that we're not doing correctly? On Note 4, notifications just worked. There wasn't anything special needed.
Thanks

It may be a software issue. this affects the S8/S8+ also. More and more reports on notifications not coming through especially text.

So, if it is on the S8/S8+, then it's unlikely that they'll ever do anything useful to fix it?
Notifications are the one thing that I hate about this phone. They're completely unreliable and I have to turn on my phone to check and make sure that I didn't have anything come in. It's the one thing that makes me miss my Note 4.

I have this problem since Nougat on all my devices. For me it was the power saving features, forgot exactly which one, but it basically shut down the apps totally until I woke the phone up.
Just an edit to my post. When I pickup or awake the device all my notifications come through at once , is that what you are talking about ?
If you find a solution let me know.

Yes. In my case, it is not always picking up notifications for GMail. I tried to add GMail to the list of unmonitored apps, and it was not available. I'm not sure what else I can do.

Hello mate, it happens to my Galaxy tab s2 on Android 7 often. As soon as I open it out of standby all telegram messages pop over. Weird thing is , it doesn't always behave that way as I can hear my Telegram and what's app notifications on that sometimes when using same account etc on the Note 8.

Well, it's annoying as hell. My Note 4 never did this. I could always rely on getting my notifications.
Makes me wonder if I should use the regular email app for Gmail, and then dump the GMail app.

Luckily for me the Gmail account isn't my primary email address. Have you whitelisted some apps from power saving to see if it changes the notification behavior?

Probably except as it's a built in Google app.
I guess that leaves you with the option of what you mentioned earlier. Add the Gmail account to the existing email app. Bummer.

It's on. It notifies sometimes, but if the phone has been in standby for a while, it stops. It definitely seems like a doze issue.

Same problems here
Notifications hit or miss. I have disabled all the power saving options, disabled all the restrictions on the individual apps, disabled all the data restrictions on the apps. Everything I could think of. Once the phone has been sitting for about 10 minutes on the desk, it seems to just go to sleep. Nothing comes through until I pick it up and start doing something with it. Then the notifications all seem to come in at once. This seems to hold true for any messaging app, email, etc. This is a horrible problem.

My wife is having the same issue, but on a Sprint Note 8. When she opens her phone in the morning she get's a bunch of notifications pouring in from several different apps. So since y'all are VZW and we're Sprint it has to be specific to the phone and not the network. this has me worried because it's text messages and everything if she hasn't touched the phone in an hour or more.

Same problem here.
Note 8 Germany DBT - no branding.
Since last week notifications wont come through when the device is idling. I have paired it with a Garmin Fenix 5x and set it to pass the important notifications via Smart Notifications to the watch.
This no longer works and I missed some important notifications. I have to change my behaviour to regularly check my phone and this is very annoying!

Missing Features ?

Had the phone a few days now and aside from the volume issues which I hope will be solved I have three other issues.
Can someone confirm 100% that there is no FM Radio - I'm 99.9% sure but I've seen threads from other people saying the radio quality is good.
No Self-Timer on the camera - I went to take a photo the other day and went to set the timer so I could be in it and there isn't one.
I can't seem to find anywhere to set the email sync frequency times (i.e. so it doesn't send email notifications in the middle of the night.
I've come from an HTC Desire HD and all of these features were standard so a little annoyed if they're all gone.
Were you running a stock HTC sense ROM?
I assume the camera additions were HTC's camera?
I thought stock Android used push notifications rather than polling and pulling every 5 minutes?? Maybe what you had was another HTC Sense feature?
Everything was standard out of the box, unlocked.
I know the Galaxy S2 has a self timer, also a radio, not sure about the email settings part though. I can set how often on the Nexus to pull from 5 minutes to 1 hour - but can't see any option of muting (off peak mode) it through the night so I don't get woken up every 10 minutes (business emails +100 a day)
I can confirm 100% there IS no FM radio on my Galaxy Nexus
The HTC Sense skin, in the same way that Samsung's TouchWiz does, adds lots of custom functionality on top of standard ASOP Android.
Maybe there are some apps out there to replicate what your Sense stuff used to do?
So to answer your thread title....... they aren't "missing features"...... its because you aren't running a HTC Sense ROM.

I disagree I'd still say they are missing features, If they were present in AOSP there'd be no need for HTC & Samsung et al to add them. Having a timer in the camera app is pretty basic functionality that should really be present as standard.

i also disagree on your statement,
so now the AOSP camera version has time laps video option, and video effects (change you faces while recording video),
do you then call this missing features for the rest of the phones?

I understand what you're saying but to me a self-timer is a basic function that's found on most phones I've come across - the other effects are nice but in my mind not as essential as a timer.
I disagree with that. YOU look for those features. I currently been through 5 devices in the past few months that don't have your "missing" features. They are missing to YOU, but THEY are not standard features. I'd say only 10% at best of all the phones out there have those features so it's far standard(note: I do not know the exact %, but it has to be less than 20%)

Android tends doesn't notify in the middle of the night.. I'm not exactly sure how it does it but I sleep right next to a tablet and a phone both of which beep merrily during the day but I never get a peep out of them overnight.

What you're asking for and 'sync frequency' are 2 different things. You're looking for something to silence notifications at night; sync frequency is how often the phone pulls new data down for your accounts.
The name is slipping my mind right now (will update if I find it!), but there are definitely apps in the market that silence the phone for different intervals, such as over night. ROMs like CM7 have this built in as "quiet hours". You can choose to silence notifications but not alarms or phone calls, etc.
Check out Sweet Dreams. Think it'll do what you want.
Could also look at Bedside (Night Clock). It has a "white list" to block some notifications and not others.
The app Tasker is a bit overkill for just this (unless you use for other things too), but it'll do what you're asking.

That's probably because you are a heavy sleeper mate. Also people send out less emails and texts at night.
Anyway there are certain apps you can use to either change your sound profiles at certain times, or to disable data syncing. Personally I use Juice Defender to turn off data at night when I'm not using the phone. I don't have to set silent mode at night cause I am a heavy sleeper too and phone beeps don't wake me up.

I'd be surprised if only 10% of new camera phones had a self-timer function. It's a bit like saying a flash for the camera shouldn't be standard as they never existed on the first camera phones but you'd sure as heck kick up a stink if a new phone was released without a flash for the camera wouldn't you ? Or how about a car with manual locking instead of central locking. Surely with a phone of this caliber a self-timer isn't exactly a special feature.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm finding, I'm not receiving emails after a certain time on my phone. I work with a lot of companies in the US and I'm in the UK so I do many late nights and I want to be able to set when emails arrive or don't on my phone, not when they think I should be sleeping or awake otherwise I end up sitting with my phone and laptop both out if I'm expecting an important mail to arrive rather than relaxing in bed with the phone by my side, and even a manual refresh doesn't bring the mails down after a certain time.

I don't have my GN yet, so I can only comment on your first question: I'm pretty sure, if people talk about radio quality, they mean either the quality of mobile signal reception or the sound/speech quality of incoming and outgoing calls. Radio quality most definitely doesn't refer to an actual FM Radio.
So to make a long story short: There's no FM Radio in the GN.
Browser Dimming
I know on thing that I will not miss coming from SGSII is the auto-dimming in the browser.. I have turned off all power-management tools (I think?!) but yet on the SII, anytime I tried using the browser, autodim!
Can anyone with a GN confirm that this "feature" is gone?
thanks!

[Q] Turn off Google Now...

I'd like to get notifications on my watch, ie. text, incoming phone calls, voice mails, Pandora, etc. but the Google Now cards really get on my nerves. I don't want steps, time to work, stocks, etc. showing up on my watch when I don't need them. It partially blocks my watch-face. I would much rather just have my watch-face only be interrupted for notifications and not Google Now. I would like to be able to see steps, time to work etc. only if I ask for it by ie. swiping down, or up.
How can I turn Google Now off??? Can I hide the Google Now cards unless I swipe??? :cyclops:
Thanks! :good:

Gotcha, so you are asking for the same thing we all are, or at least 90% of us. I haven't found a way to have the cards stay hidden and not block the face without muting or swiping away.

According to this article from Google (https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6056843?hl=en) you can already do exactly what you're looking for. All you need to do is turn off Google Now on your phone
Assuming that you like Google Now, then I don't think it's possible yet.
I did this exact thing. I turned off Google Now on my HTC One M8 and it stayed off my watch. Everything is still fully functional, i just dont get unwanted cards like steps, minutes to home, weather etc.
Im sure it saves a ton of battery too.
I don't really use Google now note I will also be turning it off. Hope it does save battery. So if we turn it off, since it doesn't count steps, that should turn the pedometer off?

lol make sure you have google now on your phone enabled. It should show cards by default
If you go into:
Google Now 'settings' > Customize > Everything Else > ...
You will see multiple cards that you can disable, for instance I don't need to see weather updates each time I wake the screen -- I live in southern California. Just choose "No" for anything weather related, etc.. This applies to many things without completely disabling Google Now.

All my issues with the Nexus 5X

Hello, i just bought ny Nexus 5X a month ago and i really need some help with some of it's issues:
• Adaptive-Brightness, it's faulty on this phone, coming from an Iphone, where it works perfect, it's really hard to understand how such a simple function has problems working on this phone.
• Notifications, they always come slow, like after a few minutes from when you should normally get them, this is truly unacceptable, because there are times when things need to be done quick and I'm being held back because of this issue. I heard Dose causes this, but ive set it to not interfere with some apps but notifications come in the same, late.
• Facebook Messenger - whenever I open this app, I stay like 3-4 minutes looking at the screen with the contacts for it to load, and it's loading and loading and sometimes I need to restart it, what's up with that?
Anyone else has these problems? If so, please help, maybe it's something wrong with my unit.

-its software issue, download an app about that. its fixed in android N (it would be nice if they fixed it in M too...)
-if you also have the said programs in pc they sometimes interfere. i have noticed that while there is a short delay (2-5s) between pc and phone, sometimes messages take many minutes to arrive. i am not sure what causes that, and i cant remember if it happens both ways :/
-never had such problem, but i have deleted facebook apps anyway. mobile site is fine and you can send messages without messanger anyway. if you use google chrome it even notifies you (also works for firefox in pc but not android)

While I agree that adaptive brightness is slow on the N5x it's still working fine for me. Did you check reportings of your light sensor?
You can fix your notification problem by setting the apps that you need immediate notification from to be excluded from Doze.
Battery > "more" tab top right corner > battery optimisation (not sure of the exact term as I use German android) > show "all apps" > change apps that you want to be excluded from Doze by marking "don't optimise"
Using fb via their mobile webside, so can't comment there.
I did the Doze part, notifications don't change.I really don't get why would they add features that interfere with something so important as notifications.

Persistent cast notification triggered by facebook videos

Whenever I play a Facebook video a casting icon appears in my status bar. It won't let me tap the x nor swipe away the notification. This appears to be a separate icon from the one from the regular cast function because I can't toggle it with the cast tile and comes up as a Facebook notification when I long press on the notification banner. All I can do is reboot to clear it. Anyone else experiencing this? My device is 100% stock.
EDIT: It was the Facebook beta app, all is well on the stable Facebook app.
Well Facebook pushed an update to the stable app and now the notification gets stuck again LOL
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this, however mine is more prone showing up as soon as I get home and meet my network. I have a chromecast on the same network, but just haven't used it since I got the Pixel. I too have to reboot as that's the only way to clear it.
I used mine a couple of times with the Pixel, still works, just an annoyance. Maybe FB will fix it in the next update.
Not just a Pixel issue. I'm waiting for mine to ship and my Nexus 6 on Nougat is experiencing the same FB and Cast issue.

Yep, found out my wifes samsung does it too.
You don't have to reboot to make it go away. Just Force Stop the FB app and it'll disappear
Same here on my PixelXL. It's too much of a pain to force stop Facebook every 45 seconds so I just blocked all notifications from Facebook for now. Pixel users can long hold on the cast error to block notifications.
Was thinking it was just me...
one good reason to uninstall FB app? FB is so noisy these days.

Long press on the notification and select no notifications. it will go away.

It's worked for me for over a month now so I'll have to assume you're not doing it right.. (no offense)
Make sure your app settings < notifications say "BLOCKED" can't send a screen shot because of my newbie profile having less than 10 posts.

Gmail Using Battery Notification...

So, I've found that in order to get notifications from Gmail as they come in (I have to have this for my job), it cannot be added to data saver, and it cannot be optimized in battery settings. So, I set it up this way on my new phone, only to get a notification saying Gmail is using battery pretty much every single time an email comes through, sometimes even when none do... If I optimize it, my notifications stop until I hit the power button or unlock the phone (usually).
I cannot seem to figure out how to stop this stupid popup from happening. Anyone else getting this? Anyone know how to make it go away? It's driving me crazy...
Install this app. It's been working fine for me on my pixel 2 xl and previously worked on my 6P after installing 8.0.
