At a glance widget

Hey everyone! Is anybody experiencing issues with the "at a glance" widget? It only shows the day, date and month. No weather update though... I can get it working by clearing all data of the Google app, or uninstall updates of it through settings and the play store, but after maximum of a few hours the weather updates disappear again... In the feed settings the weather updates are switched on but I can't even switch it on. I turn it on, tap on the finished button on the top and does nothing... Any idea? I'm on latest PIE, Magisk and stock kernel.

I have no issues here. Have you tried clearing the settings?

I think it's something to do with the Google app as I clean chache and storage, the weather update comes back and shows the current weather. Than it seems when it wants to update it, it just disappear and never comes back until I clear all data of the Google app again... Anyway, I'm not too bothered, just thought I was doing something wrong. Maybe with the next update it will come back...

Delayed Notifications In Android P

First off, I disabled adaptive battery in Android P. Ever since the upgrade from 8 to 9, I noticed that notifications are right around 5 minutes late. I have a couple time-sensitive apps that I need notifications right away. Gmail and another app for my home automation. In Android 8, the were flawless. However, ever since going to 9, not so much.
I also noticed that when I delete messages in the gmail app for gmail and an IMAP email server I have it does nothing with the messages on the server. I login to webmail from a computer and the messages are still in the Inbox.
Anyone have any ideas? I am going to try a wipe again to see if it resolves the issues, but I am out of ideas. I had the above issues in Android 9 beta as well. I would downgrade and it fixed them.

I have the same thing and it turns out it is a common issue with Pie. I have not found a solution yet. I have read all kinds of things people have tried and nothing seems to help. Sorry that I can't be more positive. Hopefully Google will figure something out and fix in an update.
Here is a two page post I started about the issue but there are also many others online describing the same thing:
https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-pie/904647-notifications-delayed-stopped.html

My thought is that the delayed notifications are due to Android Pies implementation of adaptive battery. Maybe try excluding the apps you want to receive notifications from in a timely manner?

You don't happen to have data saver in the quick tiles turned on by accident do you? That does prevent notifications from getting pushed. Both my parents had this on and a bunch of notifications came through after turning it off. I made sure to remove it from even being an available option.

been fighting with this issue as well, but it only seems to be gmail, and a couple other apps, my sms notifications seem to come through fine, at least as far as I can tell. I've turned off adaptive battery etc, nothing seems to make a difference. sometimes i can turn my screen on and all the notifications will come flooding in, other times they come through 10ish min later.

yes i have also these issue
and i opened thread on these https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/gmail-sync-problems-pie-t3839357
also i tried many apps, but instead of gmail but yet i didn't find any solution

Thanks for the suggestion but that is one of the first things I tried. No difference.

Made sure it was off early on. No change.
The best way to describe my issue is that once the screen times out and has been off for at least about 5 minutes, notification sounds are delayed. It is sort of like the phone goes into a deeper sleep or something and then the problem arises. As soon as I use my fingerprint to wake the phone, all notifications blast through.
The delay can vary. Sometimes it is only 15 minutes or so, but often it is much longer. It is almost like once in a while an app wants to call home or something and to do so wakes up the phone just enough to allow some notifications through.
There also seem to be some issues with individual apps and notifications that may be fixed when a developer updates their app for Pie. For example, most apps notify immediately when the screen is on or within that first 5 minutes or so after the screen goes off. But since installing Pie, Kuna always has a delay of 5 to 10 minutes before notifying. Kuna does this 100% of the time. In fact if I have the phone awake, looking at the screen when walking out the front door, when the motion sensor is triggered, immediately there is a notification icon. But the sound notification is always delayed. This seems like an issue with Kuna and they are well know for being very slow with updates and fixes but eventually they do fix things. But the notification sound delays described in this thread do indeed seem like a system issue with Pie. Hopefully enough people will have the issue that Google will figure it out and fix.

I am having same issues after updating to Android P. At first, notifications came late about 5 min, but then they started to vary some coming in 15-30 minutes later. Can't figure out what is causing the time difference but either way I can't find a fix. I spoke with Google support and they had no fix as well.

Nope, they didn't mention anything about existing issues or being aware of the issue.

Any one found any solutions or fixes? I feel like my notifications are becoming even more delayed now and have also realized I'm not getting a lot of various notifications at all (through many different apps).

I am guessing you all are aware of this, and have tried, however I just found this recently and thought I would share for anyone that doesn't know.... Settings > Apps and Notifications > Advanced > Special App Access ..... Lots of options here with one of them being battery optimization for individual apps. After I upgraded to P, hardly any of my frequently used apps were given full battery use. Haven't played with all the other options there, however just granting apps full battery seemed to help me out.

Just updated some settings, now we wait and see if these buried settings fix my delays.. here's to hoping! :good:

One of the first things I tried was giving full useage, (no battery optimization) for all apps that I want notifications from. Did not help. Many other apps are still being optimized. I thought I had previously found a way to turn off all battery optimization but because I do have many apps in that list that are being optimized, I obviously did not. Right now I can't find a global setting to turn off battery optimization even though I thought I did before?

So I noticed this morning, that the main app/notification that's super delayed (5-10min after the event should have triggered) it doesn't happen when my phone is plugged in or i have the screen on in my hand. Even after going through all the battery save features and making sure this app is exempt from them, it still happens if the screen is off, or my phone is off the charger. super annoying. wish there was a fix for this already!

Verizon sent me a replacement because of this problem. I was apprehensive, but got a very nice re-furb. Still have the same problem, but I got a phone that is indicated as Verizon on the LG site. In developer mode, the bootloader unlock button works. I guess everything isn't bad. I sure hope Google straightens this out soon.

This happens only with Gmail on my phone - WhatsApp and Messages send instant notifications. Messages isn't optimized, the other apps are.
I can live with that, no big deal. Perhaps disabling battery optimization for Gmail would fix this, though.

Interesting note: I was talking to YouMail support today about something else but I asked about an issue where I get an email and transcript of a new voicemail but when I go to the YouMail app that voicemail is not shown until I drag down from the top of the screen to refresh the list. Support told me they are aware of this but can not do anything because it is a problem with the "latest Android version causing delay". So it is becoming a more widely known issue and hopefully Google will fix soon.

Thanks for all the feedback. Speaking of delay, I think I have tried just about every fix here and then some and still no luck. Wiping the phone did nothing as well. At this point, I would almost like to revert back to v8 to get this fixed.

I tried this supposed fix, (reply #51). https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...ifications-delayed-stopped-3.html#post6355714
No idea if it worked for me as when you restart the phone you need to do it again and less than 30 minutes after I went through the steps, my Pixel2 got the October update for Pie and required a restart!

Notification icons staying in status bar after clearing/viewing notification info.

EDIT 1: Resolved the issue by reverting the ADB command I used to hide the navbar. So if you have this issue as well and happen to have performed a hidden the navbar with an ADB command or using an app designed to hide the navbar, that is likely your culprit, as well.
EDIT 2: The only method confirmed to hide the navbar without causing notification icons to stick in the status bar, is to root your phone and edit the build.prop by adding the following line at the bottom of the file: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my stock, unrooted Pixel 3 XL. When a notification comes in, I get the lockscreen notification like normal. Then I unlock the phone and swipe down on the notification drop down. I'll click the notification (Gmail message, for instance). I'll read the message in the Gmail app, which marks it as "read" within the app.
But when I go back to the homescreen, the Gmail notification is still in the status bar. It doesn't go away until I swipe down on the empty notification drawer for a second time.
This issue holds true for Hangouts, Whatsapp, Gmail, Outlook, Slack etc. etc. Pretty much any app that gives me a notification is experiencing this issue. I don't think it was doing it right out of the box. Just seemed to start happening within the last couple of days.
Anyone else seeing something like this?

I'm getting the same thing here.

same thing, but i'm rooted

same thing on my oneplus 6 after pie update
think it has something to do with the battery saving features.

Well, I'm glad to learn I'm not alone!
Hopefully the next update fixes it.

turning off all battery saving features should work (i.e advance optimizations if its visible in p3, etc etc)

I have the same issue on the 2 xl for various apps, such as incognito mode in chrome.

'Battery Saver' was already turned off on my phone. But 'Adaptive Battery' was on. I'm going to try turning that off for the day and see if that fixes it.
EDIT: Turning off Adaptice Battery and rebooting the phone didn't solve it. Status bar notification icons are still lingering. Pretty annoying.

On mine they go away after a short time on their own, it's the same behavior I had on 8.1 as of a couple monthly updates ago. I'm not sure that this is a Pie bug or I suppose, a bug at all. Anyhow, I'm not bothered by it, everything is the same as before except I can see the notification hasn't left the screen in the few seconds between when I dealt with whatever was there and set the phone down. Pick it up shortly afterwards and they're gone. Once I got over the mental "huh" of it and realized it doesn't affect anything it kinda settled into the non issue category for me.

Same damn thing. Even on my 2XL which wasn't rooted. Has happened since upgrading to Pie. Even before I started installing apps. There must be some setting we're all toggling that others aren't. Surprised this isn't all over the forums since it affects multiple phones.

I had this on my Pixel 2 XL for a day or so after a fresh wipe and setup, then it went away after some tweaking of various things. No idea exactly what fixed it. I was mainly messing around with battery optimization (on a per-app basis) and Tasker automations around the time it stopped happening.

I don't see this setting on my 3 XL. I know it was there on my OnePlus 6 though.

This happens every so often with my Pixel 2 on Pie

Confirming that even after the November OTA, the issue with notifications sticking still persists.
I find it quite ridiculous that given how many people seem to have this issue with Android Pie, regardless of whether it's a Pixel device or not, Google has yet to acknowledge or fix it.
I know some say it's related to battery saver settings but I've tried everything, including disabling all battery saver options completely and rebooting. The problem continues, no matter what. It's getting very annoying.
What's strange is that I never experienced this issue on my OnePlus 6, even after running Android Pie beta and full release for multiple months.

I'm just sitting around watching the election stuff anyway. So I might as well set things back up from scratch again.

Weather gone from At a Glance widget

So usually the At a Glance shows Day, Month/date, and then weather. It was there this morning, but I just closed an app, and now I don't have weather. Just Day, Month/date. Anybody else? I restarted the phone, but it's still gone.

Thanks. You beat me to it. After I posted I did a bit of searching, and was just going to update here.

No Weather...still
I have a Pixel 3 XL. If I factory reset, I have weather in At a Glance. However, after updates and restoring my info, it is gone. As a matter of fact, on the settings page, the only items available in At a Glance are "Calendar Events," "Upcoming flight information," and "Traffic information." All of these can be toggled on or off. Weather doesn't show up and isn't an option on the settings page. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Those were the only three options for me too. It eventually returned to normal after several hours. It's a bug on Google's servers. You just need to wait. There is no fix we can do.

Ok, thanks. It's been that way for about a week, but it isn't a dealbreaker.

If it's been a week I would play around with settings a bit. LIke toggle location services off, wait a bit, and then back on. Also open the Google app, and click on the weather if you have it. If it's not there do a search for the word weather. And just that. "Weather". See what comes up. It may force your phone to reconnect to the server for weather.

I've noticed this few days ago.
Weather goes on and off. In few hours I can lose it a d few hours later it will pop back on

guys i found a solution for this all your have to do is enable Google location history and enable gps for at least couple of hours and leave location history enabled after 12 hours at most you will see it at the widget again hope it work for you

It worked!

Verizon: Ever since update last week for my Note 10+, the Message+ app has issues

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ... issue is occurring on my wife's phone as well as mine.
I installed the update last week (and then another one late last night). I used Message+ for texting and before whenever I got a text the phone would wake and go to the lock screen and show a preview of the text. Now it just stays on the Always On Display (A.O.D.) screen and only shows the little text icon on the A.O.D.
Also, edge lighting no longer works on the A.O.D. for some apps. Specifically the Message+ app. It worked before this update and now it wont show up when the phone is off/on the A.O.D. screen. It definitely worked before the update.............
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps. No fix. I even did a full factory default reset and that did nothing either.......

May be the apps, not optimized for android 10, I am waiting for all these issues to be ironed out before updating

Does it work with other messaging apps? As for just the icon showing; have you looked at the information being shown on the lock screen and aod? You can edit what is shown detailed, icon only, etc.

Snapchat works fine. Groupme doesnt work neither does gmail. Those I dont care about really it just the text app not working is annoying as hell. I have the lock screen showing "detailed". I dont think there is a "detailed" option for the AOD though? It just shows the icon.
I can live without the edge lighting on AOD for texts but for it not to wake the screen and show me the preview on the lock screen is extremely annoying especially since it has always worked just fine.
I already did a factory reset as well.

It sounds like it's the app. I don't use the edge lighting. Nor do I use the AOD. However I've never had a notification issue. Personally I use Google messages due to the ability of having RCS have you gone into the notifications settings and changed the sound per app? Maybe made sure nothing was turned off. Also check to make sure those apps aren't getting frozen under device care.

Yeah I don't have an answer for you. I haven't had those issues. And don't know what to do help other then a completely fresh set up and see if it helps. If it doesn't. I'd try flashing the software on the phone again through Odin.
