Apps not updating when phone not in use... - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] FroYo, Facebook keeps awake

Hi Guys.
Noticed after my update (using about phone, on time/wake time aswell as *#*#4636#*#* Battery usage, partial wake screen), The new facebook app appears to be keeping my phone awake.
I disabled all facebook syncing, and rebooted the phone, and it sleeps fine,
went into the facebook app, refreshed (which worked fine), and went back to home... and now then the phone stayed awake.
Currently I'm going through the process of seeing if the facebook 'syncing' (without actually opening the facebook for HTC app) to see if that does the same thing.
I just thought I'd come here to see if anyone else is having the same issue?
I think I have the same issue. Facebook is suddenly the number one 'partial wake usage'..
ditto same here, i got no friends so gonna disable it.
i have notice if you load the app and go into settings you can turn the refresh to never, seems to work for me and then just manual refresh whenever i want to use it.
i do get an app/item called "college" mysteriously switching on?
I've found so far that in "Accounts and sync", Facebook sync causes the same issue. Facebook for HTC however does not.
My girlfriend just got the facebook update on her Legend, which is still running 2.1
I will keep an eye on it to see if it has the same issue - It's starting to look like a Facebook issue, not a HTC Froyo update issue. Which is a *****, because i use it a lot and the new update is slick.
EDIT: not sure on the 'college' thing, haven't seen that myself.
somehow i'm not seeing this issue, will have to investigate further when i get home from work
Well , if someone like me decides to go back to 1.2, it's easy. Just uninstall the Facebook app and will uninstall the update only. 1.2 is system app.
This is well documents guys here http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/apps/application.php?id=74769995908&ref=ts, so it's something that there sure to address as my phone went from fully charged this morning to empty in the space of 6 hrs. Normally it lasts me the full day.
I did wonder where the hell all my battery went! Removed. It was still rubbish as it just took you to the site for everything.
The girlfriends Legend doesn't seem to suffer the same problems.
(though 'facebook for HTC sense' syncing seems to be causing her phone to stay awake.)
I don't understand why so many developers are falling into this wake-lock issue? It's becoming a serious problem for Android.
SORRY

Have you got a link to this?
Mine seems like it sleeps, but still the wake time is huge.
Uptime: 33:59:30
Awake time: 23:57:55
Wth, only 10 hours sleep in 33 hours :/
EDIT: yes, at partial wake Facebook has huge line, and android system and dialer a really tiny ones.
Disabled "Facebook for HTC" sync from accounts and sync, rebooting, and will see how it goes.

I also tried this, if it seems to work for you try opening the facebook app (without sync enabled) and see what happens. (Just the app, even with sync and notifications off, is enough to keep my phone awake)
Yea I'm having the same issue !! where is the link to Google's acknowledgement?
I got this issue as well !! Bloody Facebook
I always set the Refresh to NEVER and not using notification.
Where is the Google acknowledgement of this issue?
Hope this will be fixed soon.
In the meantime, reboot the phone and dont use Facebook app!

Sorry.
I posted this into the wrong thread. The fix was about the Gmail sybc problem.
Sorry
Yup this is a problem with the facebook 1.3 update.
http://geekfor.me/news/facebook-1-3-wakelock/
I uninstalled the update and went back to 1.2 for now.
I don't think its just Froyo either.... i'm on 2.1 and the new 1.3 facebook update.
My battery seems to be taking a pasting with CPU time very high for the facebook service.
Same problem here. "Time spent without sleeping: 100%" and Facebook app in "Partial wake usage" had a bar the size of the great wall of china. Uninstalled, the touch site is better anyway.

Handcent SMS Wakelock'ing phone.

Recently i've noticed that handcent is putting my phone into a wake lock as soon as i receive a text message. This is causing my battery to drain if I don't read my text messages as soon as I get them. At first I thought it might be because I had the popup notification on, someone suggested that it could be the problem. So I turned that off and turned all notifications off except for the LED blink and notification bar icon. But for some reason it is still putting my phone into a wake lock, i've tried everything and nothing seems to fix it.
My question is, does anyone else also experience this problem? Is there any known fix for it? Or will I just have to stop using handcent all together?
I noticed the same thing and I believe it's the LED light that's waking up the phone. Try chompsms. I noticed less battery drain and spareparts seemed to agree.

Are you some kind of mind reader?
That's EXACTLY what I was trying now. Just downloaded chompsms and watching it closely in spare parts.
They updated it December 11th. Anyone know if it fixes the wakelock? Getting sick of having to manually split my SMS messages on CM 6.1.
Fred, as of the most current update, v3.5.2 seems to still suffer from the wakelock issue if popups are enabled.
Researching chompsms before I spend the time to install/reconfigure.
Lol that post is from a while ago but thanks. I use GO SMS now. Much better.
Fred, no wakelock issues, even with popup (or gosms's equivalent) enabled? Been scrutinizing every app I put on to make sure it isn't a hog.
Hasn't given me any trouble, no. Just be sure to enable "CDMA Split" in sending options.

Stock Doze & Gmail

I'm currently on stock MM vs985 and am curious to know a little more about how Doze is supposed to work by default. I get the concept, some apps will spam you with notifications and drain your battery in the process, so those are kind of put on hold while others are "priority" notifications and get delivered immediately. The user also has the option to give specific exclusions from Doze so the notifications will get delivered immediately as they have in the past. At least this is my understanding of things.
The reason I ask is because Gmail notifications aren't quite right. When I'm actively using my phone in the morning, they seem to come in normally and Doze doesn't seem to be active (which is expected). Then when I go to work Doze will kick in and I notice I don't get as many Gmail notifications, which is fine. However on breaks or over lunch, I actively use my phone again. At this point I would expect Doze to no longer be active and I would think the notifications that Doze delayed would start showing up (granted maybe after some delay, but at some point over an hour lunch break). Today after work I didn't have any Gmail notifications so I opened Gmail, it showed the most recent email as one from around 11:00, I swiped down to refresh, and suddenly five more emails showed up (11:38, 12:01, 1:01, 2:59, and 5:40). With that many emails at those different times, I would have thought notifications would have came in at some point without me manually refreshing my emails.
I realize I could exclude Gmail from Doze, but I don't really need the notifications immediately and I would like to get the battery saving benefits of Doze, I just don't get what it's doing or why. I would assume Doze would DELAY notifications until later so they can be processed as one group/batch, not STOP them completely. Is this correct, is there possibly a setting or something I should be looking at?

don't want to sound stupid but do you have greenify installed? Do you have sync turned on?
No greenify or any other non-stock battery saving apps, and yes sync is on. Lunch break and no notifications but I bet when I manually refresh in gmail later I'll have emails that should be coming in now :/
49 hours estimated time remaining for my battery, so it's definitely saving battery, but I'd kind of like notifications when I am using my phone :/
Break time at work, still no gmail notifications. One thing that I realized was that I did have a notification from Facebook just now. Does this indicate that either the Facebook notification has bypassed Doze (made itself priority) or gmail notifications specifically are being blocked by Doze?
Also, when I woke up this morning I did have gmail notifications waiting for me, so that means the normal sync process is capable of working correctly. I had my phone on the charger overnight, so Doze wouldn't have been active (which explains why the notification came through).
About 45 minutes ago I finally got gmail notifications for 6 new emails I got throughout the day. Not sure if it's relevant but this would have been about 10 minutes after I got home where I would have been back on wifi since this morning. I also noticed I have Facebook notifications, and the time on the notification is about two and a half hours ago, so I don't know why the gmail notifications wouldn't have came through at that time as well.
So with all of the knowledge and skills around here, no one has quite fully figured out the stock Doze functionality?
FWIW I don't seem to have this same issue on custom ROMs, at least not on Resurrection Remix.

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...

delayed notifications on Pixel 3 XL

Got my pixel a few days ago. Not receiving notifications in time drives me nuts. So usually gmail notifications appear on screen as soon as I unlock and wait or after about 15-30 minutes after I received an email. Sometimes longer for whatsapp No battery saver, no adaptive battery, optimizations are off for gmail. Also tried all permutations of those settings. Tried factory reset and Q up and downgrade. Nothing seems to work. Happens on wifi and cellular. Devices isn't rooted.

Since you are fairly new here in terms of posts, why not update your profile with at least your location and carrier. We don't need your exact GPS coordinates, but knowing what city/country you live in and which carrier you are using can be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. Others in your area may also chime in with their experiences if they see you are close by. If you are on an MVNO, then state exactly which one. To start with, how many APN's do you have for your carrier and have you tested any other than the default? Verify your APN settings with your carrier's web site, and fill in any that are blank or wrong. Was your SIM from your last phone, or did you get a new SIM from your carrier provisioned for your Pixel? You should not have to tweak your phone at all for the issues you are describing. Just some thoughts. Cheers.

I have the same issues. I just ordered mine from Google, unlocked.
Sim from Sprint, updated PRL. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes I don't get notifications from my "battery charged" app.
It is frustrating. I don't know the fix, and I haven't mentioned it here either.
What seems to work so far is disabling deep/light idle via adb:
$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled

This will be lost on reboot
scrap that, it's not working either way. Don't know what to do, it's unusable that way. Kinda need fast notifications for business
I have the same problem, but, only with certain apps. I'm on Verizon in St Louis, USA. I'm currently on Q beta, but, this happened on Pie at least since the start of this year.
Messages does this the worst. I'll get the message on the web app sometimes a couple minutes before it pops up on my phone. A REALLY funny one, when connected to my SUV via Bluetooth, a message will popup on its screen several seconds, sometimes more before it does on my phone. So, to me it seems like the phone is getting them right away, but doesn't send the notification immediately?
Now, Outlook on my phone I get them before they show on my work computer. So, thankfully I'm not getting delayed work emails, that could be bad considering I'm a sys admin.
I've noticed with some others, like Facebook or whatever, that if I wake up my phone, unlock it, or another notification comes in, all of a sudden I'll get some for those if there are any. In checking FB it's definitely a late notification.
I just turned off adaptive battery yesterday for other reasons, that hasn't helped. I wonder if it's one of the battery settings though that are somehow affecting it. Like the optimization for example. I don't know. It's REALLY annoying though. This plus the Bluetooth problems that Google can't seem to fix (but no other phone that I know about has these problems), I'm really starting to get pushed away here. If it weren't for day one updates, the camera, and things like that, I'd consider jumping ship...
If anyone figures this out, let me know! I'll keep digging too.

Yeah... that was the first thing I've tried. Haven't found any solution still. Basically gmail notifications don't work. Old mails will stay as unread for half-an hour and vice versa. Pretty useless

I noticed this for the first week after a clean flash then went back to normal
Might have something to do with the new battery management
So, I've been paying more attention to this, and, I've noticed something. Every time a notification doesn't come through, even though it pops up on my watch or my car, the tap to wake doesn't work. I wonder if the screen just isn't waking up for some reason? I'm not sure how that's controlled, so I don't know how one would fix it though.
Just wondering if anyone has figured this out. It is beyond ridiculous to have to wake up my phone in order for for a notification to come though. I am noticing this mostly with Gvoice and Gmail. My most frequently used and important apps. Connected to wifi 99% of the time as coverage is terrible in my area. All battery optimization is turned off. Also, it is intermittent. Most times things come through fine. For example. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at my phone and I Gvoice message went off as soon as I woke it up. In this case the message was coincidentally sent right then, but that is the same behavior I have been experiencing when a message is delayed. Phone and watch are quiet, wake phone, suddenly my watch and phone go off with one or more notifications from one or more apps.
The one thing I have noticed is that push notifications get effed up for certain apps and I have to turn off app notifications, fully close app/clear cache, re-enable notifications and turn the app back on/reboot.
