delayed MMS messages with screen off? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I have noticed that I have been getting delayed MMS messages, especially with my screen off. I'm using Textra, however it seems to be the case with other messaging apps as well. I assume it has something to do with the systems doe policy and battery management, with the screen off. I have tried to change battery management settings for various apps including MMS policy stuff... Still can't get this straightened out. Any advice?

If on Pie, try unchecking Adaptive Battery and see if that helps...

Thanks , I'll try that. Am also going to try adjusting the "optimizing battery use" settings in a few apps, although don't really know where to start

Experienced the same issue with different apps using battery optimization. Try removing messages and any other important apps from optimization.

Tried that, still having issues... Can you remember any specific apps (other than messaging and MMS services) that were associated with it?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Notifications were delayed with Gmail and hangouts but once I remove them from optimization, they worked fine. I also made sure that notifications were changed to priority

Are you using a battery saving app/service/mod? Anything that aggressively enforces Doze?

Possible cause for the system server CPU spike at bootup?

I'm wondering if I have found the cause of the notorious problem with the system server taking up 100% of the CPU at bootup. It seems to correlate with gmail accounts, or exchange accounts syncing at bootup.
To try and figure out what what causing the problem I started with a fresh install of FRX03 (using the latest kernel, 1253) and slowly added back my programs and settings, rebooting as I added things. Only after configuring my gmail account for the first time did I experience the lag. I then changed my gmail to not sync anything and the lag issue went away. I then added my exchange account and the lag issue came back.
After configuring my exchange account to sync on a schedule instead of push mode I've been able to reboot five times with absolutely no lag. I did experience the lag isue one time, but prior to changing my account settings I had to reboot four or fives times just to get the phone working.
For anyone having the issue, please try disabling sync on your exchange and gmail and let me know the results.

I don't use gmail, so i don't sync it. I use hotmail and it syncs everything 15 minutes. I experience lag for about 1 min after booting and after that it works just fine.
Hrm, never heard a theory that it's based on GSync.
I think it's related to netloc - I've heard when GSM guys disable it, the bug all but goes away.
CDMA, unfortunately netloc doesn't work... so it's always off for me, and I definitely experience the bug.
Calling voicemail always clears it up for me.
Some have said opening Google Maps/Places fixes it too, but it doesn't for me - I'm wondering if it's GSM guys that is working for... I'd bet my left kidney.
The calling voicemail trick works for me too, but sometimes the phone is so hosed that my phone dialer crashes and I have to reset. I'll report back the next time I have time to reboot.
And just like that I'm experiencing the problem again.
*facepalm*
Oh well!

netloc = network location?
I cleared the data for network location in application settings and then rebooted and the problem didn't happen so maybe that is it. I keep doing that regularly and see if it continues to work.

For me the Google maps trick works.. takes longer then calling voicemail tho, cause it's a drag to navigate to google maps when everything is in slowmotion, and all I want is fastforward...
Takes a couple of times before it finds my location btw, first few clicks say location not available. But voicemail always does the trick
vmail does the trick
usually when it boots up into No Service, i wait for the 3g signal to come in before dialing. actually put a direct contact just for dialing hahaha

Are you on GSM?
I have this issue again with top showing system_server is constantly consuming around 50% CPU, this coupled with user CPU processes leaves my CPU pegged above 95%. As a result my phone is terribly slow and batt drains fast. I'm on Android stock unrooted 6.01 with a Galaxy note 4.

[Q] Notifications not working when phone is asleep

Hey everyone, has anyone else been having issues with Gmail notifications not working when the phone is locked or asleep. The notifications come in a few moments after I turn on the phone, but they don't come in when the phone is asleep. I checked every setting and it seems like it might be a hardware or software issue with the Note 4 that is preventing the notifications to come in during sleep. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this. This was never an issue with my Note 3 and I matched every setting to it and it all seems to be the same.

all those are setup right, i suspect this is some bug with gmail's latest update or lolipop issue but still testing. I do know I'm not the only one

forgot to mention turning sync on, also did you disable background data for anything else like google play services? when I did cloudmagic stopped syncing emails for me, if that doesn't work try using a different client

yes way beyond baisic stuff
Update, i called samsung and had them create a ticket, the rep said they have not heard of this issue at all. Long story short if they come up with a fix it will be after 5.1.1 which carriers like ATT have not pushed out and that means it could be a year or longer before it is resolved. They do not work directly with end customers so we are out of luck basically. Frankly for me this is deal breaker and I might be returning my phone and going back to blackberry.

Gmail not synching after Nougat...

usually, there shouldn't be an issue ... are you using some kind of doze optimization app, i.e. forcedoze, greenify or naptime?
if so, than this behaviour is normal as mail notifications only get synced at times of maintenance windows. same when the phone is in stock doze, which kicks in after approx 30 mins.
No
No, just did a fresh rebuild, no special apps, not special configurations, just stock install and no gmail push.

check your gmail and sync settings and deactivate battery optimization for gmail.

I am not on Nougart for that specific reason, no notifications EXCEPT text messages and calls, every other notification seems to be crippled in N.
I posted a thread on this a while ago, i guess nobody searched for it

Push Email Not Working

I am getting a little frustrated at some of the things that don't seem to be working. I came from a S8+ and use Aquamail. Push email doesn't seem to work. I also tried it with Nine email as well and I can't seem to get it to work in either app. I don't know, maybe it could be notifications that aren't working. When I open the app, the email is there but I don't get any notifications of a new email.

Out of curiosity, why not use Gmail? Do these apps have some features over Gmail that make it worth while? I use Gmail for my exchange account and push notifications and it works there though

I use K-9 email and have the same problem, I'm pretty sure it's an Oreo thing. Oreo goes to great lengths to stop apps from running in the background for better battery life. The good news is that you can stop Oreo from optimizing the battery for a specific app, the bad news at least for me so far is that your phone won't doze any more. This doesn't really kill battery life but it kinda goes from awesome to not so good. So unfortunately I don't believe there's good solution so far.
I'm getting the same issue with the Gmail app and I've confirmed that the app is not battery optimized. I kinda need this to work ?
Same here! November update, Gmail does not refresh. Kind of a serious issue, I would say! I already submitted feedback.

It will certainly continue to doze when you disable optimization on any application. The only difference is that the doze will be interrupted by that particular application while its alarm runs. Naturally, anything that causes the CPU to wake up, will reduce battery life. This is a fact that there simply is no way to avoid.
FYI: This change first appeared in Android 7. Not new to Android 8.

I couldn't tell you about the implementation for exchange, since I *will not* use any ms product ever.... but I can tell you that the AOSP email client (which is visually merged into the Gmail application when it is installed) does NOT support any form of push notification for IMAP.

The gmail application is NOT what needs to be battery optimized to receive gmail notifications. In fact, I'm not sure if the gmail application does any networking *at all*. Gmail push notifications are implemented through GCM/FCM (google/firebase cloud messaging), which is through Google Play Services.
Blue Mail is working great for me.
I started having issues with Exchange email syncing this week and am noticing Gmail keeping the app awake for hours each battery cycle. Even tried removing the account, clearing Gmail data and cache, and rebooting.
By chance, did any of you clear a bunch of stuff from Google Framework to force the November OTA?
ouch
I did reset it and then the problems rolled in. How are you meant to get Now 17 when a new pixel 2 xl I got on Tuesday is on October OTA. I have had to factory reset and start to add everything back in. Touch wood that the sync and emails seem to be working fine now!

I use Blue Mail for two accounts (Exchange and Office 365) and both are pushing without issue. I'm on the November update, and even prior to it I never noticed a problem.

I meant October or whatever is the latest OTA. But, doing that method of clearing framework causes the issues you're having.

Interestingly enough, enabling battery optimization for the gmail app is what fixed my problem (account wasn't syncing unless I opened it and swiped down). Now my exchange account syncs properly. I understand what you're saying, but I think my issue was with the gmail app itself and not the push notifications within the app.
go into battery optimization. turn OFF battery optimization for these apps you require push (i even disabled it for whatsapp)
Is there a fix if you did clear the data from Framework?

I had the same problem. Have used HTC Mail on many previous phones and like it.
Found a standalone version of it that will install with any apk installer.
Works fine with no issues on the Px2-XL.

Google Messages battery drain on 10+

Never a problem on my note 9 but now it's insane on the note 10+. I don't really want to change apps because I like it otherwise. See the pic comparing it to the next highest used app. Also, there's no way I had it open and on screen that amount of time. Anyone else experiencing this?
If you did smart switch, try clearing data for messages.

I have. I am waiting for some results to see if clearing data fixes anything.
UPDATE: cleared cache and data but still draining.
I use google messages and i'm not having this problem at all, so I would say it is likely something specific to you. Best advice would be to uninstall, reboot and then reinstall the app

Any of you not getting lock screen notifications with Google Messenger? Samsung messages work fine, buy G messages give nothing but sound when screen is locked.
Google messages works fine for me as well and I used smart switch to transfer all data/apps from my Note9 to my Note10+. I'm also getting notifications on my lock screen.
