Not receiving wunderground alerts

All,
I have a VZW note 4 and have installed the wunderground app. In the app is a way to receive push notification alerts for severe weather. My problem is that I never receive any push notifications. I can open the app and see the red triangle indicating an alert has occurred but I need a way for it to alert me without opening the app.
I am thinking that this may be related to apps that I have frozen using the lists from this forum and other XDA note 4 forums. I currently have above 150 frozen apps/services but weather, wundergroud, nor anything with "push" in the title is frozen.
I do receive notifications from other apps such as text messages, etc so I know that I am capable of receiving push notifications.
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be preventing wunderground to not send these push notifications to my device? I have configured it properly per wunderground support.

The obvious solution is to enable all disabled apps and services. Chances are you did this yourself.
If it works after enabling everything, you can disable in small groups at a time until you find what the problem is.
If it doesn't work after enabling everything, you can try more complicated things.

Yes I have unfrozen everything but it is not like I can immediately test it because severe weather alert are not a daily thing around here. Was hoping someone else might have run into this issue and already solved it.

Just to follow up on this issue I may have found the problem. It was not with frozen apps but rather the use of nova launcher. I found a setting in nova under the labs section called "restart widgets on resume". I don't know much about it but the description is "only enable if having problems with widgets no updating". I have turned that on and now the weather widget is updating on my hourly schedule and I have started receiving weather alerts from a 2nd app (saf-t-net) that I have installed. Previously neither of these was working. I have yet to get any wunderground alert but there has not been a NWS alert yet. I may get that later today though.

Mate 20 X: Notification issues on international version?

So, I posted on here a few days ago in relation to some notification issues I was having on my Chinese Huawei Mate 20 X, long story short, I WAS receiving notifications perfectly fine when the phone was on Wi-Fi, but the second I left the house and ran the phone on mobile data, I either got long delays in notifications or in some cases not actually get them at all, applications affected were Facebook, Messenger, Reddit, Gmail and my banking app.
I was also having connectivity issues with Gboard and voice typing with Google. I received quite a few replies but unfortunately none of the advice work and as a result, I had to send the phone back.
The phones seller advised me of the international version of this phone, and suggested that I perhaps give that a go, I have so far messaged three sellers, and every single one of them has told me that I shouldn't experience any notification issues on the global version, even given that it runs the exact same version of EMUI as the Chinese version.
Can anyone on here verify this?
I don't really want to have to spend another $1,000 and wait several weeks just to have it turn up and go through the exact same problems I had with the Chinese version.

I don't know why people have notification problems I've had none on Chinese model I'm in UK on three network if that makes a difference or not ?

I have INT version, I got from FunkyHuawei, and I have no notification issues at all.

No notifications problems here on EVR-L29.

I have the Chinese version 8/256 and no notification issues whatsoever.

Did you disabled the app from running in the background or something like that?
Once I disabled certain apps like Wechat for example, all it's notifications will ceased.

I have notification issues WHILE CONNECTED TO WIFI WHEN SCREEN IS OFF.

Well if you disable the app from running in the back ground, how would you expect to get notifications? You disabled it from doing so.....Am I missing something here?

That's what I'm talking about. Maybe the op disabled it from running in the background and hence there's no notification.

Please try the following methods:
1）Make sure the SIM card is inserted. Setttings---Battery---- Click the gear button on the upper right corner--- switch on “Stay connected when device sleeps”.
2) Settings---Notifications----More notification settings---turn off "Smart notifications"

Go into settings - battery - more battery settings and toggle on the option that says "stay connected when device sleeps". This fixed all my delayed notifications on Gmail and WhatsApp.
I have the 8/256GB Chinese version and this was driving me crazy until someone here on XDA mentioned this and it fixed all the problems I was having.

Any app killed in the recent apps menu (hitting the trash can) will close all apps and will not run in the background, regardless which version you are running. You can see this by hitting the trash can to clear the apps, and then go to settings apps and choose the app and you will see force stop is grayed out cause the app no longer is running.
Trying to find the protected app location or policy so you can add apps to prevent them from being closed down.

I have the same issue with my China-bought Mate 20 (not X tho). Notifications for most apps (especially Chinese apps like Wechat, ...) work without problems, but certain apps don't show any notifications at all. These include: Splitwise, Couchsurfing, and maybe a few others. This is not a VPN issue since both Splitwise and Couchsurfing work in China without VPN. As soon as I open the apps manually, the updates come through. Before the Mate 20, I had a OnePlus 3, also bought in China, and both apps and their notifications worked without a flaw. So this is definitely a Huawei issue.
Battery optimization is turned off for both apps, they're set to manual with all options enabled (auto launch, etc).

3) apps -> app Launch -> ( click on specific applications ) manage all manually ( all 3 options ) for selected applications.
4) open the application and leave it running on the background by locking the app in the background.
I have done all the 4 above steps.
hi, have done the same for past few days but only certain applications show the notifications like WhatsApp /Facebook/youtube/ google./instagram
but still,
1) I am not able to figure out the notifications for Line / Discord / all the games installed in the device.
2) after long hours of non-activity ( say 6 hours ) the applications on the background once again closes automatically ( even after doing the 3 & 4 th points mentioned above )
3) Apps -> default apps ->assistance & voice input -> ( google automatically logs out for some reason not sure why ) even tho i have removed the default Huawei app, I am not able to get the G-assistant as default.
it works for sometime and after some time, the option goes to default as "none" and I have to choose it once again back.
( yes I have done the 3rd point run manually for google assistant )
4) Gdrive -> My drive -> backups -> backup settings -> all the application data is showing as waiting for backup ( except the contacts )
not sure how to fix it - all options are greyed out.
5) Always on display don't show the notification icons - I tried 3rd party " amoled "but battery consuming - ( I will wait for the update in Original built-in software )
6) Screen recorder able to record, ( in-app settings I have enabled all the permission, microphone etc ) but when I click on the screen recorder
by default, the application microphone is greyed out and not able to switch it on.
7) for google maps history to work, I have to root the device and rename folders as per this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/al00-location-history-sharing-timeline-t3887627 )
but I haven't rooted yet. awaiting for proper method for rooting.
Above are the issues in My device ( EVER-AL00 Chinese Rom 8GB/256GB variant - non-rooted)
I have been trying to resolve the issue... but pending ones are the above which I need some help on. ( anyone knows how to fix the above let me know )
But the device is still awesome. until the above issues are fixed I will be using my old device ( mi - max 2 ) along the side.

Any update ? Did you manage to fix the issues ?
I got the same mobile like yours and I'm noticing also some delayed notifications with Microsoft Outlook app.
I will try to manually let it run all the time in the background and see if that helps.

Same here with redmi note 8 global version. Tried Yaata, Chomp sms, textra same result no notification sound. So first they installed Google message app then blocked all others. Bravo!

Update
Redmi note 8 have combined sms and notification sound. So only app that dont have their own notification sound will work. Like facebook messenger works if used for sms.
Strange limitation.

TEXTRA sound and notifications
hey guys ! I had a similar issue while using textra , it´s definitly permissions ! when installing it may not be enough just saying allow for the questions that textra asks , be sure to go to textra permission and allow " sound " ( or similar ) worked like a charm for me !
cheers !

Yea ran into this thread as I also had the same problem with Textra. I received my Redmi Note Pro 4 days ago and did a phone swap from an LG G8 only minutes ago.
For anyone else that might run into this, I had to go into the Settings/notifications section and played around with all 3 pages (lockscreen, floating, and badges) to get texta notification sounds.
As an aside, I transferred all my backed up notifications/call logs saved over time from every phone this phone# has used so that all history is intact. (Thanks to the SMS and Call Log backup app).
Both the LG G8 and this phone's stock messaging app do not show the actual messages, and the Redmi's will not even bring up the keyboard when I go into a conversation. Textra works perfectly!

Depending on text app you are using, you may have more or less tuning to do in order to get the notifications, and then it also depends what permission you are going to give there and what mode you are on (General, Silent, DND).
Also note some older apps just do not deal with the new way notifications works since Orea in that case no matter what you do, you may not receive notifications at all.
Personally I am using Signal which also allows me to have a per contact different notification and which works with overriding DND if contact is stored on phone and stared (do not forget to star contacts you want to pass through DND mode).
As a general rule of thumbs, you always need to make sure the following are set up per app you want notification to work.
Obviously make sure in the actual app settings, notifications is turned on.
Unlike previous post I dont/want need floating notifications and lock screen notifications for security reasons. That said you can leave lock screen and hide content. That's a per app setting too.
In that notification page, you may have additional settings to set at the bottom, like for example in Signal you also have a MESSAGE sub-section where you can tune up notification sensitivity on a stared contact. If you want to be sure to receive notification for that particular contact set it to "High" importance. In signal at the end of that contact list you have "Default" option where all messages from unstared contacts/numbers goes. Mine is set to low, because I don't want to receive any notifications for those when I am in DND.
Also make sure to play with battery optimization triggers. To avoid issues I usually have no restrictions on apps I want to receive notifications from like text apps, so I run them without restrictions at all. That's a handful of apps anyway.
Finally if none of the above works for you or if your app has never updated its way to handle notifications which have changed with Android updates, you may have to install a third party app to deal with them.
As a turn around when I dont manage to fix the notifications I want, or if the app is not able to override DND, I use MacroDroid.
I give all the required permission (including Autostart and no battery restriction) to play notifications properly on that MacroDroid app notification permissions, and then I create a new macro for the app (or all the apps, multiple apps can be selected at once) I want to receive.
As trigger I set Notification received, set parameters I want to use and apps concerned then as Action I set Play sound with selecting the sound I want to play. All done.
Hope this helps.

Facebook Messenger Notification Issue

On One UI 3.0, I got my notification pop-up style on Detailed.
When I receive a message on whatsapp or some other messaging app, while the phone is unlocked, as you would expect the notification scrolls down from above and I can see the message.
When I receive a message in Facebook messenger, while the phone is unlocked, it never works. I just get the messenger icon in the status bar but no pop-up. Even before the update pop-up for messenger never worked.
Has anyone any idea how to fix this?
On the other hand while using AoD during the day and the phone is locked, I can see the messages as notifications on the lock screen.
I haven't tried the brief pop up option yet but I suspect, still no pop up notification will show up. Not sure what's up.

Hi dude, the same for me !!!

I found the solution so do this:
Settings>Apps>Messenger>Notifications>Tap on Chat and Calls> Enable "Show as pop-up".
That fixed it for me, repeat the same for the previous items on the notifications settings list.
let me know if it got fixed.

Fix for me to, I've also reset my phone (only settings).
Now I've ugly little bublle from messenger.

Go to Notifications settings for Messenger again and disable "show us bubbles" for All

It's easy to fix in the app settings, so don't get upset before you know it. Turn them off and on again, then they will work correctly. I think you might be having this problem because your page is being monitored by someone who has plans for your page for their own purposes.

Question Answer in notifications for WhatsApp doesn't work

Hi there,
I got a strange problem which I can't solve so far.
When I get a notification for WhatsApp, there is the possibility to answer directly in the notification. But when I do that, it needs at least 20 seconds to send and then it isn't sent even if in the notification it says so. When I go to the normal app, the answer isn't there and my chat partner didn't get it. Testet that with my girlfriend.
In all other apps and notifications it works correct. Only in WhatsApp it doesn't. And even with my Samsung watch the answers work.
Anyone an idea??
I even looked in my settings for WhatsApp but didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance!

Might have to clear cache works fine for me
