Hi
Use this thread to list bugs you have found in Stock Note ICS 'LPY' firmware, and work-arounds you have discovered for them.
Feel free to include bugs in Apps that don't work quite as intended in ICS but did work fine in GB.
Nigel
1) Facebook (uses ICS Sync Mechanism). Sync's ALL facebook friends and not just those already in contacts even when option to 'Sync with existing contacts' is selected. Result is a load of contacts with photo/name only where folks have not included contacts info in their FB profile. Solution is not to sync contacts with FB!! Not syncing means you don't get the contacts pics (the main reason why I want to sync). There are some 3rd party FB pic sync apps, but I have not tried any of these with ICS as yet.
2) Font size used for name of apps under icons for apps is bigger than in GB. This results in app names wrapping mid word where the same app name fitted on a single line in GB. This can result in the final 1 or more letters in the name of an app appearing on a second line under the icon. It looks ugly.
3) The 'Select Input Method' prompt appears as a notification under 'ongoing tasks' randomly.
Email widgets can fail to update, lose their assigned accounts and lose the option to switch accounts. The only fix for the first problem is to scroll rapidly down the email list to force an update, the assigned account can usually be reset on the widget, but occasionally the widgets get locked and have to be deleted and regenerated.
Also, not sure if this qualifies as a bug or change in behaviour, but the way audio output is dealt with when bluetooth audio devices disconnect has changed. Whereas in GB, switching off eg. a bluetooth headset would stop any streaming audio, with ICS the audio continues, but is switched to the Note speaker.
ICS is rather a large jump isn't it? We only have one build. You should make this specific to LPY if you want, but having it just be for ICS bugs isn't very specific or logical. It's like saying: Bugs for GB! That's A LOT of builds. If you want this thread to be useful, make it more specific.
Experiencing Random screen flickers and pixel salad. Resolves by resetting or lockscreen. Not sure if it's Kernel related like custom kernels experienced in GB roms i.e. franco kernel v9. pls help to shed light on this?
S Planner
I have found a bug in my ICS LPY S planner package. I use it with exchange and the status is not properly synced with Exchange:
Note-----------------------Exchange

Free-----------------------Tentative
Tentative------------------Busy

Not nice...
When the phone is connected to car dock and kept in horizontal position, if you recieve a call, the phone app force closes and you cant answer it.
Solution: Keep the phone in vertical position in the dock!!

Hi
I got this while playing with the face unlock stuff after the initial update. I did a hard reset to get shot of any left over junk, and have not re-enabled the face unlock, and have not seen the pixel-fest since. I suspect it was not using face unlock rather than the hard reset that sorted.
Nigel
Bugs I have found so far :
Phone does not connect to computer via KIES.
Many bugs using original car dock - phone app closes when dialing, calls dropped when using Bluetooth - I did not try vertical mode yet
Phone randomly stops entering deep sleep mode , BetterBatteryStats lists a kernel wakelock called : l2_hsic . This does not impact battery time by much, but still annoying
Phone randomly reboots while screen is off - but I had this in gingerbread too
In call log , when I clicked a number it used to show me all the times that number called, now it does not.
Sometimes the phone forgets the personal ring tone assigned to a contact and uses default ring tone
... that's all I can think of right now, the good side is the ROM is MUCH FASTER in touchwiz and other apps..

To those with sleep issues, have you tried full wipe then reinstall Apps? I had issues with not sleeping and battery life, but since hard resetting, thee phone sleeps fine. Its not as painful to do this with ics since it will auto reinstall apps. (Configure backup and restore in settings before reset). Its supposed to backup app configs as well, but I found this did not work (many apps have their own mechanism to backup their config)
Currently irritated to death by the random reboots while in sleep. Sometimes 18 hours apart... Sometimes 18 minutes apart.

On LPY stock but rooted.
By "Pixel salad" you mean multi coloured horizontal lines filling the screen up?
I got this when I woke my phone up and was about to unlock it (pattern lock) when I received a call...
I decided to swipe answer to see if it still functioned and it did...

It appears when the keyboard is displayed so that you can change keyboard if you wish, as opposed to using long press in GB.

having frequently used apps moved to SD card may cause random reboot. nothing to do with 'screen off' but worth checking.
I have no complaint about ICS except that the battery life is abysmal and the audio hiccup all the time.
I am currently on LPY. Wondering if you guys have the same issues. The audio hiccup is the most annoying. Don't know how to describe it. It's like music skipping while playing. It happened even on zPlayer and Poweramp so it's not stock music player dependent. At first I thought that my sd card is failing but when I tried to play it on my PC, all the music files played normal without any hiccups.
In my case I cannot use skype and I keep getting this error message "you cannot be signed in at this time. Please try again later". So far I have tried clearing app data, force closing, reinstalling and installing modded and older versions of skype and no luck still. Skype is running just fine on my laptop.
I am on rooted LPY.

I use "voice talk" when driving and often launch it by double clicking the home button. However I notice that every 2nd or 3rd time i launch it, the microphone doesn't respond (the blue concentric circles indicating sound don't move). Clicking done makes it ask to try again and the microphone works normally.

Use the widget and adjust brightness to very low. Now Open stock browser and set there the brightness to automatic. Go to a app like Facebook, tapatalk and open a Page where you get directed to the browser to open it. Press home button now. Go to the widget and press synchronization button on or off doesn't matter now you will see the brightness button that was black to jump from alone to auto. I guess that's the automatization process of Samsung.

I figure it be a good place to try and list all the regressions in behavior we see in DK28.
can be used to list them / point out what changed and why its not really a regression, just have to change what we do.
I've noticed two things so far
1) Can't dial by last name in on screen keypad dialer, just first name. This is somewhat annoying (especially as my friends last names are more distinct than first names)
2) missing all my "other" calendars in calendar app. (i.e. I have facebook exported that way, along with holidays and some other stuff). Also doesn't let me select individual calendars that I want to list. I believe this might have a backup/restore issue. Just reset my phone and haven't restored anything from backup and have all my calendars.
This also seems to impact agenda widget. For some reason calltrack does work Part of me assumes I'm doing something wrong here.
Update:
Other regressions: (reported and verified by independent source)
3) Mediahub no longer works (requires you to update it from Market, but can't be found): noted: 12/5/2010 by jwhisl (Orbiting234: probably related to Market not recognizing DK28)
4) No way to prevent GPS data from being included in EXIF of Pictures if GPS is on: noted 12/5/2010 by styckx
One odd thing I noticed was with Dolphin browser. When holding the back button to bring up the exit menu it used to vibrate when it popped up. Now it does not. It still vibrated before I upgraded to froyo.
I know it is a little thing any meaningles but it threw my whole operating habits out of wack.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that the Mediahub application no longer works. When I launch the app it tells me to install an update then sends me to the market. Unfortunately the market cant find the download I need so I cant watch any of my purchased media. The phone is also telling me that the media type is not supported.
Installed dk28 via zip and hard reset device to fix audio, camera, and memory card issues
might anybody have the update in apk or zip format?
Ok, this one is pissing me off. It seems you can no longer disable gps data getting lumped into you camera pictures.
Becareful! Turn off gps entirely unless you want you photos exif data containing your location.

I can use 4G in NYC, though I do notice when I reboot the phone that a similar thing happens, I just attribute it to be doing to omuch processing.
Besides Media Hub update not being found in marketplace, Car Home and Desk Home apps are unable to be found in the market either. Will probably all be worked out once DK28 is properly recognized by the market for these particular apps.
anyone notice the auto complete isn't working and only recognizes names in the contact list?
It failed my test. Just like the previous leaks, last.fm skips and jitters when browsing the web and playing music at the same time. As a matter of fact, music skips any time I do anything thqat even moderately taxes the cpu. My Evo does fine under the same conitions. Why, Samsung, why?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm kind of hoping that this is still a beta version and not final cause it still has some flaws compared to ecclair. I made a thread in the Developement forum about the problems I am having with dk28.
Slow rotation
Slower frame rate on notification drop down
Browser choppiness and checker boarding
etc.
media hub is an exclusive samsung galaxy app
some of the dk25 roms have nexus one signatures in the build.prop that is why is doesn't show it

It seems to be putting my location in there even with gps off. I had to turn off the wifi location also just to get it to stop.
I downloaded the zip file last night when it was first posted on here. I had stock rom, changed the file name on my phone to update.zip, moved it to root folder, did the recovery and update. Everything is fine and I'm on froyo 2.2.1 now. I'm try to replicate the problems you guys are having, but I can't. The only problem I can replicate is the checkered box when zooming in and out. My hardware is .5 and I just bought the phone last month. I got my wifes at the same time and hers is doing just fine as well. Do you guys think that even though my hardware is .5 that there could be some differences in the phone since everything is still working better then 2.1 for me and my wife?

other issues i've noticed:
-new text message alert does not disappear when the text is viewed, only when text is entered as response.
-browser gradient at top (right below notification/status bar) disappears when scrolling and pops back on once done scrolling
-swype sucks after update
-browser does not auto hide keyboard once completed text imput and window refreshes
-as noted, the geotagging data on the pictures cannot be prevented even with gps off
all of these, on top of an ugly messaging app have caused me to do a complete factory reset just to get rid of the issues. i never had problems with 2.1 so i guess i'll stick with it until the final release.

you're able to dial from the dialer with someone's last name?
i.e. You have a Friend Joe Smith, you press
7 (for s)
6 (for m)
4 (for i)
...
and you get your friend joe smith? I just have it matching first name.

Last name doesn't work. I have to do it by first as well. Very annoying if you have more than two friends with the same fist name. That's the only one I can replicate.

Check your Swype Settings. [Speed vs. Accuracy] may be tuned for speed. Slide it over to the right and it should work better.
After using this for 8hrs now. I've come to the conclusion this release sucks a bag of .....
Crappy keyboard lag, last.fm skipping, the captivate buttons responsiveness has changed (for the worse), delayed screen rotation, camera writing exif gps data unless you disable gps and wireless location.
Overall this just runs and feels like pure junk. I was never one demanding and frothing for 2.2 and I'm glad I have backups of my 2.1 install and will be going back to it. I liked 2.2 at first until I really got to feeling it out.
Sure GPS is fixed but they screwed up 10 things in its place.

+1 on this sentiment. I am not having any issues like this. Now this is not a regression, but I noticed that there is still the cell standby issue that requires airplane mode toggle. I find that glitch to be really frustrating.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO POST ISSUES WITH THE UPDATE PROCESS, ONLY ISSUES AFTER UPDATING THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED/FIXED BY THE NEW VERSION.
In an effort to consolidate all the information into one thread, hopefully everyone can just post their own experience with the new Stock Froyo build here after having updated through Kies.
List issues you're experiencing, as well as issues that may have been fixed with this update from the previous version.
Hopefully this will cut back on thread spam and help people decide whether or not they want to try out the stock Froyo 2.2 update!
I'll start it off and say that so far I've heard that the Gallery is working great, but Avatar seems to be having DRM issues. GPS seems to be something where YMMV, some say it's great, some say it's worse.
What have you noticed?
So far all good things.
CONS: missing stock android keyboard, paid apps missing in Market until ROM is recognized.
I installed the GB KB and am good to go as far as that is concerned.
GPS in UVKA 7 still wayyy off for me, definitely a hardware issue.
I have not done any tweaks or change in settings, like a I said wayy off..
Pros (to me at least):
I noticed that the screen auto-rotation is now controllable via the notification/switch pulldown on the home screen.
I don't recall this from before, so please gently correct me if I'm wrong. While entering text, if you hold down on the entry window a blue pointer appears that you can use to place the cursor in the text easier.
Gmail improvements:
- You can reply/forward messages from the top of the email instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom.
- You can scroll from from email to email by using arrows at the bottom of the window, instead of having to go back into inbox/outbox/etc and selecting the next email
CON: I can't get any data.
Any help?
With regards to the Calendar app, can anyone confirm whether or not you can now actually change the default calendar from My Calendar to Google? Or do you still have to change each new entry to Google when you go to add an entry into the Calendar? That was such a dumb move.... a step backwards from Android via Touch Wiz, heh.
Pros: higher Quadrant score than 2.1
Better UI
Mobile AP
Flash
Camera seems to be better in the dark now
Better battery life
Faster
Cons: No apps in the Market's Download section
Old market
Avatar is not accessible

The issue with the gallery lock was always random for me. So far I have had no issues moving in and out of the gallery.
Avatar doesnt launch because the mouny point for the external sd has changes. The drm issue im unsure how to remedy.
Lag is still the same.
Still cant set default home screen.
Changed calendar notifications to white background.
Skype anf yahoo apps should work now.
C2DM works for apps like Trillian (saves a lot of battery)
Will check if the exchange client still rapes battery tomorrow.
Oh, and wifi calling/sms for those of us in very low reception areas.
Data speeds seem incredible. Wifi reception inproved...

Major problem, the haptic feedback is really really really weak. This happened b4 when i flashed a leaked 2.2 rom and the official one does the same thing -.-, the vibration intensity is at max when ur in the settings and set it to max u get a strong vibration, however when u press any of the 4 bottom buttons and dialer u get really weak vibration, feels like its at the lowest setting. This really annoys me. Does neone know how to fix this or if a rom currently out has alrdy fixed it?

I have had horrible gallery issues, every time I opened it it would freeze. It's great now, but why the hell did they go back to old pics on the top? I want my recent pics on the top.
My gps did not work, but I turned it off, reset it w the gps restore app and now it locks in maps at 30 meters to start instead of 1400 meters. (so, much improved)
Avatar does not work for me, but I updated my co worker's phone, and hers works. wth
I can't look at my display settings, it forces close, I think because I had a bunch of flipfonts installed. I uninstalled them all and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
ETA: Haptic feedback feels fine to me
I feel the phone is a bit lag too
I want to flash back to JFD and try it from zero again.
BTW I cant root with z4root, how can I root now?
KA6 was the version released through Samsung Kies
Flashed KA7 (screw KA6..). Took awhile to boot up but made it
Gallery seems to be okay, haven't deleted any pics yet. Phone seems as snappy as it did with KA5. Data speed seems the same as well. GPS actually performs better, if not the same as KA5. Just a minute or two to lock on and failry acurate within 30FT (on my way home I was able to lock onto 6-10 sats in a few seconds). Installed GB Keyboard, no issues there. Market udpated itself, apps show up and works just fine.
All in all, works just as good as KA5 did, with maybe some minor improvments.
PS. why is the haptic feedback such a huge issue? OMG MY BUTTONS DON'T VIBRATE WHEN TOUCHED!!

Hello. Well have this last update for our devices official from samsung. And I thought on helping samsung perfecting it. So in order to so that I think we should make this thread where we all together say wich are the bugs we found. I find already 2 bugs on the email app wich leads to a lot of wakeup calls, makes the phone use alot cpu and force closes when we touch on priority mail. There are other bugs wich people found here so I think we should list them.
Rules are simple, if you find a bug, report here and say how to replicate it. We together see it, and list here to report to samsung. Also suggestions to make things better. (of bugs or things you think that could be better)
Since they give us a ROM. At least a perfect well done one. What do you think? They need happy costumers. Or well go elsewhere.
Ps: if you can leave logcat, I'll leave on the email all log cats attached to each bug
List of bugs:
The Email app crashes when the general options, and priority email sections are accessed.
Buggy Microsoft Exchange integration. It seems to use an excessive amount of resources causing battery drain. This problem only seems to exist within the default Email app.
Smart stay not working properly.
Samsung keyboard's gesture typing is unable to properly detect and type the whole word.
Swype Keyboard won't automatically insert a space (I don't think this is a bug due to the text field being an address bar)
Sometimes, lock screen is unresponsive.
In the app drawer, when the apps are sorted alphabetically, then as downloaded apps it crashes Touchwiz Home.
In Car Mode, TalkBack is not functioning and is very unresponsive.
Google Maps and Samsung Push Services uses an excessive amount of battery when it is not used.
Throughout the OS, there are issues with stuttering and lack of responsiveness.
Wi-Fi connection often freezes after deep sleep of around 10 - 15 minutes ("Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always"). Wi-Fi notification icon shows that it's connected, but no data can be sent or received. (Only solution found so far is to manually disconnect and reconnect.)
In the camera, there is a reddish blemish on the center when the camera is used in low-light situations(I believe this is a hardware issue.)
Project Butter seems to be improperly implemented.
Unable to use the handwriting function on the Samsung Keyboard because it force closes.
Nasty color banding
After reboot , changes made in launcher menu will go back to how it was in begining (for example Folders created, disapear, or just the apps inside it, will be offside)
Suggestions list:
Music Controls (most members suggest this)
Lock screen more costumizable with possibility of more than three icons, something new I found ugly the way we unlucky the screen. (votes?)
Quick reply as cm has (i find this really useful, votes?)
Option to set if we want zoom in or zoom out option in the rear of the phone while browsing
in powermore , on the browser, instead of blue, an option to keep the white.
More sms before converting to mms, or if possible a manual option for that.
Lockscreen sometimes unresponsive, and the hand writing (?

Indeed, the dark grey notification bar seems not right.
Also, the lock screen doesn't always work...and music controls aren't there yet.
The screen stays on when you leave it on the table..it sometimes registers a face when it's not there.

After Upgrade to 4.1.2 my battery cany chrage more then 67%
i have updated to JB 4.1.2, 2 days back but i am facing a strange problem. My battery is not charging more than 67% even charging for more than 5 hours. its becoming HOT and after 67% its not charging more .. it is OK on all other Stock and Custom ROMS.
Hello guys,
I'm new to the forum
I notice that there's a slight delay opening Contacts (3 seconds+) and Dialer (1 second+) in my Note 3.
However after opening it once, there's no delay opening it the second time,
unless I clear the Contacts Apps in the running apps and open it again.
I'm not sure if this happens from the fist time I unbox it; I didn't really pay attention at the time.
Maybe this happens after I turn off and uninstall updates on some of the bloatwares, but I'm not sure.
ROM is stock Samsung, everything is still stock. Just some updates to some of the stock apps.
I haven't installed any new apps yet. However, I do turn off and uninstall updates on some of the bloatware.
I've also changed the 3 settings (cant remember the names, animator or something) on the Developer Options to OFF.
And I've removed the S Voice from the Home Button too.
The Note 3 is the Exynos one. Stock Samsung.
There are about 800 contacts, all google contacts. They are also synced, together with gmail. These contacts are imported from BB 10 OS, and some have pictures from the BBM.
Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a fix for this? I've searched the forum, seems like some have this issue, but I can't find any real fix for this.
Thanks!
Sounds normal to me. It has to re-launch the app, and the app then has to re-scan all your contacts. 800 contacts is a lot to scan through, so 1-5 seconds is to be expected.
No lag here. Did you try a restart with cache wipe? Usually that solves similar problems.

I noticed the same lag. I actually noticed it on my previous phone (SGS 3). At that time, I used GoContacts/Dialer, which I thought might be the cause of that. After removing it, same lag with the stock dialer/contacts.
Besides, I was a flash-addict, and I noticed that on every ROM I tried.
And now, even if it's a bit quicker, I still notice it on my new Note 3 (@stock/rooted). But unlike on my SGS3, it's only the first time you open dialer/contacts that it appears (as long as the system doesn't kill the process).
I wonder if it might be a good idea to force keeping that process opened.

Solved. It turned out that my issue was caused by turning off Chat ON app.
I actually turned it off when I first got the phone, and now I tried to turn it back ON.
The lag is actually reduced to 1-1.5 seconds (much more acceptable than 3 seconds).
For others with the same issue, hope this helps

Glad to know you found resolution to your problem. Like another post suggested, when you are syncing your contacts to a device through a 3rd party application such as GMail, Exchange, Yahoo etc... The application runs an API in the background at application launch which pulls all your information onto the device. When you automatically sync, your device periodically sends a request to the server for contact details, task details, calendar details etc...
800 contacts and whatever other events you're syncing will definitely take time. If you press & hold your home button and your swiping your application out of memory and then reloading, like suggested, this is going to take a few seconds. By turning Chat On back on, this has limited the lag which is acceptable to you. This definitely is not a "problem" as I've initially stated but instead more of a communications lag between the device, your server and the API which is engaging in the communications.
Hope this helps!

I noticed that the lag goes off when I disable sync. Try doing that bro, do a two two finger swipe and disable sync from the notification panel and Try launching the contacts application again
Surely if that is the workaround. Its easier to wait 3 seconds! Lol

Hi everyone,
I've been having a very strange problem for a couple of days now. Whenever my phone's screen is off and the phone has been idle for some time, I don't receive notifications anymore. Facebook notifications don't work at all, no matter whether the phone is active or not, but I also don't get FB Messenger and WhatsApp notifications. Sometimes they come through as soon as I turn on the screen, and sometimes I only see them when I open the respective app. I didn't mess with app permissions, and I also have set each app to "important" in the notification settings. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I'm on WiFi or on mobile data.
Gmail, SMS and calls don't seem to be a problem, although I sometimes have a feeling that emails come through to my phone with a considerable delay, as compared to my Gmail inbox on my computer.
The strange thing is, when I had the phone all new, everything worked as it should and I received ALL notifications from EVERY app IMMEDIATELY when they came in. This issue with notifications no longer coming through started occurring a couple days ago after I had first flashed the Boeffla Kernel (though I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that.) So I went back to the stock kernel, but the problem was still there. Then I re-flashed my original Nandroid backup from when I had first flashed TWRP, in order to set the system back to "stock", wiped data and cache, re-installed every app (the critical ones, i.e. Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, via Play Store, and the non-critical ones via Titanium Backup), and the problem is still there. I've done this three times now, to no avail.
My phone is rooted and I have Xposed installed, I'm using SuperSU and a number of root apps such as 3c Toolbox, Le DPI Changer and Font Installer. 3c Toolbox is set to clear caches on every reboot. As for Xposed, I use only VibrateMode to change the notification slider from all/important/none to all/vibrate/none, and GravityBox to center the clock in the status bar and to set the volume buttons to skip tracks on long press. I also have Glimpse Notifications installed so that the screen lights up when a notification comes in.
The funny thing is, notifications not coming through is one of the reasons I switched to the OPT from the Huawei Mate 7, where this issue was due to power management settings by Huawei. Since I'm now back on the stock kernel and have also no power saving apps such as Greenify or Amplify enabled, I am really out of ideas as to why this happens. The next step is to flash a fully stock OOS 2.1.2 (my Nandroid backup is already rooted and with my Google account set up), wipe data and cache, and re-install every app again.
Does anyone here have any idea what the problem (and the solution to it) might be?
UPDATE: After I wrote the last sentence, I received two messages simultaneously, one from Messenger and one from WhatsApp. I was at home and on WiFi, and both coming in at the same time must mean that the phone receives push notifications in fixed intervals, since the sender of both messages was the same person and sent them consecutively, i.e. with at least a minute in-between. Now I am especially confused since a) they came through at all, even though the screen was off and the phone had been idle for at least 15 minutes, and b) they came through at the same time, which was definitely not the time when they had been sent.
The confusion is complete now ... any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The problem persists. Today for half a day I received all notifications, after that once again only when I turned on the screen or opened the respective app. WiFi all the time, no settings changed in between.
This really annoys me to no end. I don't own an expensive smartphone so it doesn't work as it should. I never had any troubles like this with my old Sony Xperia V. Then again it ate through a full battery in half a day ...
Are you sure you are not using any applications like greenify / amplify or powernap which would hibernate your applications ?

Yes. As I said, I reflashed my original (rooted but otherwise unaltered) Nandroid backup and then reinstalled all apps, and am not using anything that could interfere with apps receiving notifications.
The order in which notifications come through automatically vs. only when I activate the display or open the respective app also doesn't seem to follow any regularity ... sometimes it works as it should, sometimes it doesn't.
As for Facebook notifications, I somehow have a feeling this is a specific FB-related problem. But as for Messenger, WhatsApp and now also Instagram as I've noticed, it's all the same issue as described in my original post. The only exception really seems to be Gmail, which always notifies me of new emails.
EDIT: All these apps have unaltered permissions, i.e. are allowed to keep the phone awake, and all apps are set to "important" for notifications, so this doesn't seem to be the issue either.
EDIT 2: I also installed push notification fixer to see what interval is set for the GCM services, and it's set to 5 minutes on WiFi and 6 minutes on mobile data. So that also can't be the issue.
Could the screen not lighting up when a notification comes in have something to do with deep sleep, possibly? But then why does it work for Gmail???

I could suggest you one more thing. Its a shot in the dark .
Could you check "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" in you advanced Wi-Fi settings ?
If the above is not a problem then out of ideas buddy. As a last option you could clean flash by wiping everything and just install whatsapp and other apps in which you are facing a notification delay. If it works then there could be some other application interfering , it it doesn't then i am not sure what it could be.

Yeah, that's pretty much my last resort. Currently, I'm trying to see if it makes a difference whether I keep FB Messenger and WhatsApp "open" in the recent apps menu.

I could try that, you're right - I didn't yet because I didn't want to sacrifice battery life too much ... but I could give it a shot for at least one charging cycle and see what the effect is. Thanks!

i do remember reading some time ago that these intervals do not impact the battery life, but you could test for yourself just to be sure
So, currently most notifications are working again for me, for whatever reason. Facebook being the big exception, of course. Might have to do with keeping the apps opened in the multitasking overview. If that's what it takes, then fine ...
I've got a OPT for few day, i have same issue......anyone experience this problem? any solution? is it 2.1.2 problem?

Which app? Only Facebook, or other apps as well? For me it's working now, but I can't say why exactly. I use a number of tweaks on my phone (root, Xposed framework etc.) so I can't definitely say which of my apps cause issues and which fix them again.
As for Gmail, it appears that when there's already a notification for an email and a little later another one comes in, it won't play a sound or vibrate. That seems to be standard behaviour but I find it VERY annoying, even though I set Gmail to notify me on EACH incoming email.
despite suggesting a fix i seem to be experiencing the same problem as well. it happens on both wifi and mobile data so you cant blame any settings. my best guess would be its because of the latest update. gonna have to backup my data and revert back to the older firmware to solve this issue.
@vonotny have you found a solution? im experiencing the same problem after updating to 2.2.0

Not really, no. Mine are currently working again, after I re-flashed the stock system and set up everything again step-by-step. It's possible that some app or tweak or setting caused the issue, but I couldn't find out which one.

i suspected it could be because of restoring apps from titanium backup directly instead of downloading and installing them from the play store first, but even with that i still face the same problem. currently on oxyslim. come to think of it, could it be caused by the power tweaks? did you use them before when you faced the problem?
Same problem here on OOS3.0.1. Inbox and WhatsApp messages don't often come through until I turn on the screen. Completely stock. Didn't have the problem on CM13, I think. It's really annoying because I can miss a lot of important emails from work. Even put the apps I want in No Battery Optimization mode. No help really.
i have the same problem. I'm on OOS3.0.2 with Cyanoxy. Can anyone help?
Same problem here...
What the F?
This device is almost a year old and I still can't use it as PHONE. I am not asking for some fancy stuff, but fixing the gigantic bugs that are preventing me from even using this daily.
Fix for those willing to tweak the system: install the latest Boeffla kernel, it has an option to turn off doze.
