Febuary Patch Breaks Notifications (ALL) - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

So I've updated to the February patch...all went smoothly. Realised that every app on my phone as stopped posting notifications. Looking in adaptive notification option, google have removed the personalised notification option from device personalisation app, so im thinking that is whats broken the phone. I've tried just about everything to make them work with no joy, no miss calls events, no sms message events, no facebook or twitter or even whats app.

Igonre this post if you dont have morph or postbox from digital wellbeing installed, seems they wasnt working and the update fixed the issue, my bad. Uninstall the apps if you have them and reboot the phone, everything works again.

well on another note, adaway won't build hosts because there's not enough storage, i'm rooted and everything is fine.

You need to turn on systemless hosts in Magisk and be sure to have a current version of AdAway that supports systemless.

[Q] No Facebook notifications or chat heads.

Running:
Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi only, 16GB
Android Version: 4.4.4
Cyanogenmod Version: 11
Let me start off by saying that notifications and chat heads are enabled. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, clearing the apps data and clearing the system cache partition.
Everything was fine until last night when randomly I stopped receiving Facebook notifications and chat heads became buggy. I am no longer notified when someone messages me, comments on a post of mine, etc. That doesn't bother me all that much, but the thing that bothers me is that chat heads don't seem to be working properly. They would usually automatically appear when someone messages me but they've stopped doing that. I don't get any sort of notification either. I have to manually open up the app to see if I have been messaged, then press on the conversation I want to open a chat head for. The strange thing is, everything works fine when I'm actually inside the Facebook app. When I'm in the app, chat heads appear automatically like they should. It's only when I close the app so the chat heads are over my other applications that they stop appearing. I can still chat through the already opened chat heads, just none appear so I don't know if I've been messaged.
Here is what I have to do to check if I've been messaged by someone else:
(Image added as attachment as I can't post outside links)
As you can see, instead of their chat head appearing, I have to expand an already active chat head and press the inbox icon. This problem is probably something to do with the notifications not working.
It isn't a heartbeat problem. The notifications don't appear at all. My friend has the same Nexus and he is not facing this problem. Notifications for everything else work fine.
Anyone got any advice?
Thanks.
I've got the same issue man...
Pretty sure they changed the app. You need separate messaging app for Facebook now. I may be wrong though.

Yes they have. And both notifications aren't working.
---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------
Just for reference, I've tried:
Uninstalling, then reinstalling Facebook and Messenger
Installing previous versions of both apps
Cleared cache, data of both apps
Triple checked notification settings in both apps and on device
Tried PFN to no avail
Turned platform off and then on again
Also, I had Messenger installed then uninstalled due to privacy concerns and I only noticed the lack of notifications after I reinstalled Messenger. It's as if Facebook is punishing me
Ok. So I've fixed mine. Facebook and Messenger notifications are both working now.
Not entirely sure of the issue, but I've;
Went to root/system/etc and deleted hosts file.
Installed SuperSU and updated binary.
Removed Facebook and Google accounts from device and resynced both.
*edit.
Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but I uninstalled Freedom as well...

Please help, no notifications with fb messenger

I have rooted 4.6.1 with nova launcher. I have tried both amazon store messenger and play store version. When I say no notifications I mean nome. Not eve if I had the app open and switched to my home screen but kept phone on. I have xposed but disabled most modules.
I really need this to work. I have checked app settings, manage notifications, and notification listemers and I don't know what else to try. I can't reset the phone. It took me a dozen hours just to ge.t everything setup.
Edit. I am not sure if any notifications are working right now. Got a text and only after profreminder app sent a reminder beep did I even know.
Edit 2. Outlook works. Attempting to try others.
Ideas welcome.
Hey sorry to do this, but wanted some new visibility from people who may have read the OP. If your notifications are working, could you let me know which if any apps you have disabled, if you are rooted, that sort of thing?

I was bothered by that issue and never got it working. Curiously though, the notification works only when you happen to be in the Settings section of the Facebook Messenger app.
I've changed FireOS for CM11. I don't regret it. Every push notification works as it should.

Apps auto updating

I checked off the box in the play store to not allow auto updating. However some apps are still auto updating. For example fb and instagram auto updated. I still get notifications that there are updates available for other apps. Is there something i can do to shut off auto updates for these apps? Thank you
there is an option in gplay store too for removing notification for apps update. facebook and instagram update because there is facebook installer or so installed on system partition, which is not related to gplay store and therefore they still update...but why do you want to turn off auto update and even the notification?
Go to Settings / Apps and deactivate everything with Facebook or Instagram in its Name
You maybe have to choose "show system" in the Apps Menu

Sorry for late reply. I do not want apps updating without my permission. A lorry of times these updates make the app worse for me.
I also noticed that since the last sysytem update (2.38) my battery is significantly worse.
Im thinking about rooting they phone just to get rid of fb and instagram on phone. Wanted to dl the old fb apk that did both need messenger.

I do the same thing, I like to read what has changed in apps before updating also. there has been many times where the update has broken an app and I couldn't go back due to it not being a system app. I like viper rom cause in the installer I can remove system apps like facebook and Instagram before the initial system install and never have them auto update.

Is this the end of the road? Google Play Store installed Whatsapp no longer working.

It happened on July 25th 2018.
I was managing without rooting, with only side loaded Google Apps (Thanks to this forum), managing to get by with pretty much everything I needed in a phone. Occasionally I will hit a bump saying "Your phone doesn't support this app" because the Android is some defunct version. I will either get by without the app, or side load the apk and manage.
But, starting yesterday, WhatsApp is quitting out immediately with no visible error message. It just doesn't run. I think it happened after the latest WhatsApp update which happened on July 25th 2018.
Is this the end of the road?? WhatsApp is something I need in the phone.
What is my way forward.. other than buying a new phone?
For me, wapp sideloaded from play store works good. Some lags from sideloaded apps but is ok. Maybe u have an virus, I recommend to reinstall your rom

I side loaded WhatsApp Messenger version 2.18.217 from apkpure. That is working. Just lost a day's worth of messages. Not too bad. I also disabled auto app updates for Google play store.
But I still have one question. Since this WhatsApp version is side loaded, and not downloaded from Google Play Store, should I still be concerned about auto updates, or can I turn auto updates on, and this will remain undisturbed?
Thanks..

Question Gmail notifications still don't work

From the early june i still have no notifies for mail in gmail accounts. I try all the possible solutions, also a new Clean flash of the original rom, but the behavior is the same: i receive the notifies only manual opening the gmail app.
Try switchcing with custom rom (crdroid) and notifies works, but i need the original oos, so it's not a solution.
I think that is a play service related problem due to on the end of july after a update of play service the notifies come back to work... But... Another update stop them working.
Have you got a working solution?
I start a new work that use gwork suite, so i still not receive also the work mails .
Thanks
The same issue. (Battery optimization turned off)
Try this, worked for me.
Reset the App permissions, it may be that an app or apps or something connected is causing the issue.
Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > see all apps > select three dots > Reset app preferences.
Then reboot.
This will not delete your apps data but you will have to provide permissions for all your Apps again.
Then ensure Gmail has Notifications enabled in its App info>Notifications.

I've downloaded Oneplus Launcher 5.2.26 together with the Gmail app. Maybe the launcher is the reason for it being fixed.
BTW Launcher 5.2.26 fixed a lot of bugs on the launcher and now the 120Hz is better but not perfect. Scrolling too.
And dont forget to check "Dont Optimize" under Battery
I have installed latest Gmail and Launcher but not help.

I have the same problem with notifications. Until this is fixed, I'm using FairEmail to pull my gmail and the notifications work.
This really is not a issue limited to Oneplus. All my Android devices have poor Gmail notifications. I was under the impression that it was optimized using Doze: https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby
If you use something like Outlook Email, notifications are not restricted in the background. I would rather use Gmail, but it does not send notifications reliably. So, Outlook it is.
15th of november... Still have notifications problems.
