Hi, my first post here. Thanks QXDA forums. I have lineageOS 18.1 successfully installed on a Samsung S7 Edge (yes I know the S7 isn't officially supported.) I originally had Gapps installed but ditched that, as I wanted as little google on my phone as possible. So I now have f-droid apps added as well as Signal. The problem is, that I am not getting any real, lasting notifications of new text or email messages. Unless I open Signal or f-droid's K9 Mail to check for any new messages, notifications are spotty at best and not persistent. What I would really like to have is a flashing LED to let me know, to check my new messages. I seem to have eliminated all possible settings as far as I can tell in lineageOS, Signal and K9 Mail. Quite puzzled at present. If no changes are possible to rectify the problem, is there an app, which might accomplish the notification task? Many thanks.

Hi all,
I have a brand new Huawei Ascend P6 with the latest update and I have two isssues with it.
More importantly, I don't receive notifications from Hangouts. This is despite the fact that the respective box for notifications is checked just like it should be, and all relevant settings are also enabled. All other notifications such as Gmail, SMS, etc. are working just fine, it's just the Hangouts that I'm having problems with. Perhaps reverting to Gtalk would help, but I have no idea if that's possible at all.
Second, sometimes it takes five or even more attempts to open Gmail attachments (simple jpgs). Any ideas as to how to resolve the issues, the first one in particular?
Thank you
Tomas
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.

There are a lot of reported issues with this. A lot of reported fixes too. If you search the S8 forums you can find some info. However, I have never been able to get the issue fixed long term. I have been able to get it to work for a while by reinstalling gmail, wiping data, etc, but this gets to be a pain. I am using Aquamail. I tried Bluemail and it was fine, but I like Aqua better. There are probably other good ones. I always get notifications now. Not the best answer, but it works.
Edit - I also tried all of the battery tricks like having a bunch of google apps not optimized and that didn't help.
Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong spot. I have a Pixel 2 XL(obviously) and had been on the Android beta program for some time now. The android p beta had been running really solid for me with no issues. So when they pushed it out officially last week i of course went for it. However, all of a sudden now, when *sending* texts, it gives me a notification sound (same as incoming notification). Anyone run into this? I searched the forums briefly but didnt see anyone with the issue although I couldve missed it.
Note- I'm using the Google Messages(I believe thats the official name) app, I just prefer it to Hangouts. I did check the settings, and disabled the setting for outbound notification sounds- but it persists.
Here's the kicker- it cant be isolated to just me, as my mom has the same phone -she messaged me last week and asked if she should update (I'm typically the guinea pig) and I said yep, been rock solid for me.. now she's getting the exact same behavior. So barring it being the messages app itself which i suppose is possible, I dont know.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I havent tried a different messenger app yet, suppose I could(textra maybe), I'm just partial to this one for whatever reason.
Thanks in advance!
Disregard. I guess its specific to Android Messages app. Installed another text app and the issue went no longer occurs.
I have the same issue with my Android Messages app
After moving from OP7T from OP5, I am having trouble getting new mail notification in the Gmail app. Notification is severely delayed in most cases, and sometimes work when the phone is woken up. I don't see Gmail listed under Battery Optimization, so I'm not sure whether Gmail is getting killed off or not. Anyone else having the same issue? I tried locked the app in the recent apps screen, but nothing improved.

I too have this problem. I haven't gotten any notification from the Gmail app till now. At the same time mails from Outlook and Yahoo are getting notified without any issues.

Yep I am having this issue too.
I've been seeing this issue for quite some time, even with previous phones, including Samsung.
I posted in Google Support Forum too, as well as in the OnePlus forum. No solution/communication from the support/dev yet
To me it seems sporadic tho; if I get an email verification from some site, it will usually come through right away. But I do find that when the phone is sleeping I wake it up sometimes and a few emails come they all of a sudden.
