Issues with notifications, late or don't recieve

I have been using the phone for about a week, running the latest version. I have noticed a lot of times I am not receiving notifications properly or consistently. My phone is pretty notification busy, so I notice when I'm missing things.
I came from a Nexus 5 phone running Lollipop, so this is my first experience with Marshmallow. I have a feeling these notification issues are due to the new power saving / deep sleep features in 6.0.
Here are the issues I've noticed so far.
- Hangounts : received notification for hangout message (not sms), opened app and it said "received 10 minutes ago". Phone was in my pocket, hadn't looked at it for a few hours.
- Ebay : no outbid notification, was outbid overnight when my phone was not plugged in and left on my desk.
- Life360 : Was not showing up on the map for location tracking when checking from another device. I opened the app on my phone and it reconnected. This happens consistently.
- Sleep Cycle: Alarm does not go off if the phone is not plugged in to a power source. When I unlock the phone in the morning, the alarm starts ringing (even though it's late).
- BaconReader : No message notifications until I open the app, or late notifications (delayed over an hour).
- CSipSimple : SMS messages are not received when phone is left overnight (this is a IP phone with SMS messaging through an SIP provider, all data related).
Email seems consistently good, which is nice. Social media apps I haven't noticed an issue yet, but I'm not really busy using those.
I tried re-installing some apps. I've also tried setting the app notification settings under app settings such as "Treat as priority", "Allow peeking", and "Wake".
Any one else? Any recommendations?
I searched and found:
Email notifications and touch screen problems after Dec update.
Missing SMS Notifications

have you restored some of those apps from a backup of your old phone? if yes, consider a fresh install of those.
else, try turning off doze for those troublemakers, maybe restart your phone, and see what happens during an appropriate amount of time. do this by going to settings -> battery -> top right corner menu -> optimisation.

I did restore the apps from backup. Some that were causing issue I did uninstall and reinstall, configure form scratch, no help.
I'll try turning off battery optimization for some of the apps and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip.

Those are all side effects of Doze - in some cases (Sleep Cycle) it sounds like the it hasn't been updated to use the API23 AlarmManager calls that should work with Doze. Hangouts should have worked - I'd be surprised if its not using Google Cloud Messaging which is Doze exempt.
Exempting apps from battery optimisation doesn't fully exempt them from all Doze restrictions but it's worth a try as it might help. It does allow apps to keep network connectivity which is likely key for Life360, Ebay and CSipSimple.
I would contact the Devs of all the apps to alert them their app isn't working properly on Marshmallow

Exempting Sleep Cycle in the battery saver allowed the alarm to work when I didn't have it plugged into a charger. I'll email the developer.
I've added exemptions to the battery saver for all apps that I use where I would never want them to decide to go to sleep. Everything seems better now, I haven't noticed any missed notifications since.
I hope hangouts was a fluke, I would also agree it should work properly...

How to prevent apps from getting killed

Hi all,
I'm running several apps that should run all the time (AdGuard, Network Speed Meter) or for a long time (speed trap warner,...) but OxygenOS kills them after a certain period. Some of them restart automatically, some don't. Of course all of these apps are 'not battery optimized'. Is there any chance to prevent OxygenOS from killing them?
Are there custom ROMs that can overcome this problen?
I'm on the latest OxygenOS Pie Beta, but the behavior was similar on Android O...
Thanks a lot,
W

Did you try locking the app via recents menu?

Thank for the info, didn't know that.
Unfortunately it doesn't help, Adguard and the network monitor don't appear in recents. The speed trap warner automatically starts and stops when I'm in the car, i don't want to open recents manually every time.

Battery - Battery optimisation - Don't optimise

This is not changing anything,e ven with disable battery disabled, even with adaptative battery disabled.

I have the same problem. I have not found any solution whatsoever. This is really frustrating. I've made sure apps aren't optimized. Advanced optimization is disabled. Developer options background limit is at standard. I've pinned the apps in recent apps and it still happens. Apps get killed all the time.
For example,
1. I use Google Fit to start tracking a run. Within 10 minutes of tracking, the app is closed and workout not tracked. Its not even like i touched the phone and opened other apps during this.
2. I have VoIP account setup in the default dialer. Calls come through only 50% of the time cause the dialer is closed.
3. YouTube Music, constantly gets closed if i simply pause the music. Within 2 minutes, the app is closed.
4. Trying to transfer 15GB of files through Explorer app from phone to file server, never succeeds if i don't watch the app and keep the screen on.
5. Plex gets closed and therefore my photos don't auto backup with the phone is plugged in.
This is absolutely ridiculous! Why the hell a phone with 8GB of RAM is killing apps is beyond me!
Custom ROM on the same phone, like Lineage OS, no issues. Can have optimization on, battery manager on and all. In fact, battery life is better on custom when its not killing the apps! Seems to be the only solution until OOS can stop killing apps so aggressively.

My app is not killed when i lock it in the switch app menu

There's a whole website regarding that issue on several devices, maybe it helps: dontkillmyapp(dot)com/general#user-solution

Unable to receive notifications after MIUI 12 Update

Hi all, I updated my rooted note 8 pro to miui 12 through twrp yesterday and all went fine but after some time I realized that I am unable to receive any notification including WhatsApp and outlook email and when i manually open the app, I receive pending messages instantly... so i tried to do some tricks. myself.. I turned off battery saver for it and set it to no restrictions and also turned on auto start option as well but no luck ... issue is still same..
i also tried to turn off adaptive notification in special access section but it didn't help either, also it sets itself to notifications option (2nd option) automatically after i restart my phone.. so , anybody got a clue what should i do for it as it is so important for me to get all notifications instantly... Thankyou
i have Indonesian rom installed in my phone in case it matters..

Did you reboot after turning on auto start? Also try setting the notification priority to high or locking the apps in app manager.

Of course I rebooted many times and notifications already set to high priority by default but still I am unable to get notifications.

Did you lock the apps with app manager and set battery optimizations to no restrictions?

Apps won't stay in the background

Hi all,
Just converted from Huawei to this beauty which I already love dearly
Though, having big issues with two apps I really *need* to stay active in the background. Both apps do have the option "Run in background" which are activated. I've also made sure those two apps are not Battery Optimized. I've also made sure they have all needed Access Rights (Camera, Mic, etc etc). Still - when the lid are closed and a while after, the two apps stops receiving notifications. Also, the two apps stop sending information back to the systems telling that I have the apps active and are monitoring/on watch. Opening the lid are enough to wake the apps up enough to receive notifications. I can honestly not use this phone unless I find the cause of this whatever are killing the apps. The notifications are alarms from two different monitoring systems.
Are there any other places/settings I can look to find out why the apps stop responding?
Also, where are now the setting where I can tell that these two apps should autostart on boot?
In advance, thx.
Br,
Stigh

Maybe turning this on would help maintain a stable connection: settings>apps & notifications>Special app access>Unrestricted data
I also have a Huawei, unfortunately the option of AutoStart apps isn't available in this phone as far as I know.
Can I ask if you are also having background 'clicks' from the earpiece when talking on the phone?

My wife is having same issue with her lg stylo 6, I say it's ram issues since she's using 99% ram all the time. Hers will close apps even if recent button was hit and went right back to the same one. If you find a fix lmk, also check ram and usage.

Hi, thx for the feedback, I will test this setting and see - and report back Though, as it works as long as the phone do not fall into Deep Sleep, how can it be unrestricted data? To me, it seems Android go into some Deep Sleep state some time after you close the phone - I suspect this is a Motorola-thing, not Android 10.
No, I have no 'clicks' in the backround when using phone itsself or BT headset. Have not tested the original cabled earpiece though.

Question I can't receive notifications on my Xiaomi K40 smartphone

Hi guys,
I recently bought the new Xiaomi K40 Gaming smartphone.
MIUI version: 12.5.8
Android 11
I am still setting it up, but one of the things I can't get to work are the notifications.
I am not receiving notifications from my apps (Twitter, YouTube, Yahoo mail, gmail, facebook, Fotmob etc)
Even if I get notifications they come only when I open the app or in some rare cases when I leave the app open under my menu/recents
- I have trippled checked and the apps are set to give notifications.
- I have set the app to autostart.
- I also made sure that battery saver for the app is on "No restriction"
- I have cleared cache severally, restarted the phone so many times
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the app
Yet I am still not getting consistent notifications.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this
Note: I didn't perform any extra setting and I wasn't having any problems with notifications on my previous phone - Huawei Nova 2 Plus.

Please can anybody help me

As far as I remember, you need to disable battery optimization in general or for the app.
Sadly I don't remember the specifics but that should be easy to explore online.

make sure battery saver is off as well even though you no restrictions if battery saver is on it will over rule that and keep things from running the BG like if the battery falls below 90% if you enable developer options make sure background running apps is set to standard limit and if that still don't work install a custom rom like Arrow my favorite..

I have done this and I am still not getting notifications

I am having the same problem and I turned everything did all that need to be done and still nothing did you get a solution for this

Same here , notifications only appear when i open the app , i mean what kind of battery saving or optimization which silence messaging notifications without a clear option toggle , if there is anything lead to preventing notifications MIUI should made it clear for the user .. so frustrating

Try in settings / accounts and notifications / Automatic data sync
