Since I started playing with custom ROMs I've had my calendar fail to notify properly. Sometimes it vibrates but doesn't show the alert, other times it fails to do anything at all. Very often I'll receive the notification the NEXT DAY!!?? but its usually 15-20 minutes late (after the event has started anyway). A bad/non-reliable calendar caused me to dispose of my last phone, and now the Hero looks to be having problems as well.
The problem is evident on Pancake and all versions of Damage Control. I have a suspicion its a side-effect of adjusting the low-memory killer.
Anybody else experiencing this? Also I have a very strong suspicion that this is the cause of the 'ghost vibration' that has been mentioned before, its the notification process starting, vibrating once, and then getting killed.
I have noticed this, I use the Google calendar and the Pure Calendar widget on my phone, I have noticed all my reminders for my events are gone when I log into Google.
I added some back and will test today. I am on Fresh 2.0d
just to clarify, the event shows up in the calendar (and HTC widget which I'm using), but the notifications/reminders don't operate correctly.

Several times when someone has called my X10 in the past few weeks, the phonebook app has caused problems. In all cases, the person calling was in my phonebook.
What happens is that the phone starts to ring, and the blue SE phonebook background displays, but none of the UI elements show up (no contact picture, no answer button, etc). Just the blue background. The phone continues to ring, but I seem to have no way to answer it. On two occasions, the phonebook app has actually crashed (as the "Force Close" dialog appeared eventually).
If it's my fiancée calling (who has a set ringtone), instead the default ringtone sounds. The ringtone doesn't seem to be the issue though, as I have had this happen with my parents calling (and they are set to use the default ringtone).
Has anyone else had anything like this happen with their X10?
hello, I've had similar problems but it never occurs during a call. It happens when I need to make a phone call.
I use ADW Luancher but have decided to use the X10i phone book.
What happens is that, at least two times now within this last week, is that I've gotten a blue sceen (background) with no UI elements on it after pressing the the phone book icon on my home screen. I'll be prompted to force close. After trying again the same issue occurs.
A soft reset was the only way, that I know of, to fix the problem. I wish I could tell know what the cause is.
Also, I used to have the Timescape plugin stopped from booting with Startup Auditor. Now I let the plugin start on boot, but not the actual Timescape program.
Haven't had the problem since. Hope that helped..
- Sent with my X10i
I've had this problem appear while using Zeam, HelixLauncher Donut, and now with ADW. I don't think it's homescreen related.
I used to use StartupAuditor, but stopped and uninstalled it about a month ago. Same with any task killers.
I disabled Timescape updates 2 weeks ago as it never seemed able to connect to Facebook, and have since unlinked all my contacts from their Facebook and Twitter profiles, and just today deleted my Timescape account settings for both services.
The Phonebook app seems to take quite a while (5+ seconds) to display my contacts if it hasn't been opened in a while, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I only have 140 contacts, so I can't think that's the problem.
Hi,
I had the same issue, but when I was trying to make a call.
Deleting the contact and adding it again fixed the problem.
You cold give it a try..
I deleted my fiancée and parents and then re-entered them. We'll have to see if this helps.

No luck. Happened to me again today when my mom called.
Hi all - new to this forum so apologies if the question has been posed already. I couldn't find a similar thread.
I've been having consistent trouble since getting my VZW Droid 2 in September with the phone not delivering important things like emails, text messages, Google chat messages and WhatsApp messages after long periods of screen inactivity (ie. an hour).
I'll turn on the screen and unlock it, then it goes and fetches those important messages like "I'm on fire - please come put me out now!". Suddenly I'll go from zero notifications to 10 of each.
I am using K9 mail, WhatsApp, Handcent SMS, Gmail, Twitter and all seem to be affected by this.
I checked all my settings, and it's not set up to sync only on wifi or anything, and each application is set up so that it should be sync'ing in the background.
I thought 2.3.20 was supposed to fix this issue, so I made sure to update the phone. However, I'm still having issues. I know I did some things to optimize the paltry battery life when I first got the phone, but can't find anything that should be causing this - and can't remember everything I did.
VZW's answer was to do a full factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible because I'm too lazy to put everything back the way I have it.
Advice?
Thanks
Try:
Settings > Battery Manager > Battery Settings and making sure its not set to anything other than performance mode as anything else will do exactly as you are describing.
I know custom ROMs may also cause issues.
Friends of XDA
I have an international version of the sgs4 running 4.2.2 all stock.
One of the most important features for me is calendar alerts. The so called Tasks.
I usually (probably always) set them via Svoice.
ex." Remind me to do this, on that date, at that time."
Now, I noticed the strangest thing.
Around 3-4 out of 20 of my reminders(tasks) DONT notify me!!!
They appear on the calendar(S Planner) fine, the time set for notification appears fine, volumes are fine, ringtone is fine, but when the time comes...
There is NO notification (via sound or visual) whatsoever.
The strange thing is that this happens not with all but with some reminders.
I made tests with reminders after a week. They worked. After 10 days. They worked.
But randomly, out of nowhere, some dont notify me. They just exist in the calendar.
Any help? Any suggestions? Anyone else notice this thing?
Any help highly appreciated!!!
ps. for ex. Today I had 3 reminders (tasks) on my Splanner and NONE of them notified me.
I first noticed this about two or three weeks ago when I realized that I wasn't being notified that my Ring doorbell (via the app) was detecting motion or anyone was pressing the doorbell. (For those unfamiliar with the product, it's a doorbell that notifies your phone/tablet that someone is either near the doorbell via motion sensors or has rang the doorbell). When I open the app I see the whole list of motions and doorbell presses that I would have expected, but no notifications are being added to the notification panel.
Similarly, I haven't been receiving notifications for new text messages. I've used Signal (not the stock messenger) and when I open that app it will show which messages are read vs. unread. Since then I've realized that very few notifications are displaying anymore. GMail seems to be the only one, but there was one or two instances where a notification would show in the lock screen, I'd unlock the phone, and the notification would disappear on it's own after a moment (I think this happened twice).
Notifications are definitely turned on for each of these apps (both in in-app settings and in the phone settings). I also have some apps installed to my SD card, but all of the one's I've mentioned are installed on the phone's memory. I'm running a rooted Verizon G900VVRU2BPB1.
Unfortunately, I discovered this problem rather slowly, in that it came up over the course of a few weeks and not "right after I installed X app", so if a specific app or setting is effecting this, then I'm not sure which it could be. I also rooted a few months ago, but I'm 99% sure this problem hasn't been going on THAT long.
Hi all
I have searched everywhere and I can't find anybody else with this issue... I surely can't be the only one...?
Since updating my Nexus 6P to Oreo I appear to have some apps not show a notification icon or anything in my notification drop down menu. My phone will vibrate as normal but my screen will not show any notifications...
This happens for Outlook (I will receive a normal notification and email preview on my Huawei watch running 2.0 but nothing at all on phone apart from its vibration), FotMob (a goal alert service if anyone is unfamiliar with it) and even push notifications on Facebook (to name a few). WhatsApp and text messages, for example, are working as normal.
I have reset all my notification and permissions settings TNA and even uninstalled and reinstalled the troublesome apps. Same result
Is this just apps not being fully supported for 8.0 or is this a different issue?
I really don't want to resort to a factory reset...
Thanks in advance
The most important thing i hate about Oreo .. is that Power notification control is missing the is so important for me!!

How were the apps installed? If you restored them through Titanium Backup, the device id for GCM push notifications will be wrong.
Uninstall, clear cache, then install the app from the play store.
Hi krs360
The apps were installed through play store. I am running fully stock, unrooted Android 8.0
Thanks
I have the same problem. Gmail is set to blink the notification light - but it doesn't! Argh!

There is something sketchy about oreo notification. Sometimes the LED simply doesn't blink at all , sometimes it simply blink very very slow.
Aquamail works fine
Gmail also doesn't pop up with a notification when the screen is off. But aqua mail does, and the notification light also works.
I think I found the answer to this. Basically it's a change in the SDK that requires the app author to fix. (I know, I just discovered the same problem in apps I wrote.)

Nothing quite so heartbreaking than to find a singular post/thread on the internet from someone having the same issue as you, only to discover that no solution has been posted and that it's old.
For what it's worth, having the same exact issue. Phone updated OTA a few weeks ago, and at first I was having the battery drain issue but that seemed to get fixed during the patch update, but now I've noticed that Outlook Calendar reminders, as well as Facebook Messenger App Notifications (new messages) no longer make a sound and/or show up as a notification on my phone. This is extremely annoying/difficult especially with Outlook as I have a really terrible time keeping things straight or organized, so I rely pretty heavily on the calendar reminders I set in it for daily/weekly/monthly things.
I could be wrong but I think it's related to notification lights.I wasn't getting anything until I turned it on and suddenly I was.
Hi,
Has anyone come across the solution for this issue? I have had it for over a month now and I really don't understand what the issue could be.
same issue with OREO (ZUK Z2 PRO)
also cannot edit permissions because it doesn't handle a device with plenty apps installed (+800) it hangs and crash / go back to main menu without letting you edit anything in options
