Hi guys
I updated to MM on Sunday night and find it really good. But one issue I have is with doze and gmail. When the phone is left for a while doing nothing and it goes in to doze mode I do not get gmail notifications. Sometimes they come through hours later, other times I have to go in to the gmail app and manually refresh. I have gone in to the doze setting and excluded gmail but the issue is still there. Also I have an android wear watch and if I loose signal whilst going out of the room it doesn't always reconnect until I pick up the phone (movement to the phone disables doze).
I know it's a widespread issue with the nexus phones as well but wondered if anyone had any fixes until Google get their act together?
Cheers
Hey guys,
This problem has been going on for a week or two now. Phone worked great when I first got it, but something must have changed (newest Verizon update, perhaps?)
Let me preface this by saying I've seen this happen both on Wi-fi and 4G. When on Wi-fi, and it happens, I've tried turning Wi-fi off and still get the same errors.
The apps affected seem to be random. A couple days ago it was Google Maps, I was getting the "offline navigation" prompt. Today it was Chase (couldn't screenshot it), TeamViewer, IMDb and so on.
Here are some screenshots. Note the time in the pictures.
- First encountered the problem when opening TeamViewer.
- Did a Speedtest to confirm that yes, I'm really on 4G as the phone shows, and it's quite a stable and fast connection too.
- Let's try some more apps. Here's Target's Cartwheel
- Delta app? Same problem.
- TeamViewer Host app. Same problem as the client.
- IMDb. One more random one not working.
- Lastly, I went back to Pokémon Go to confirm I DO still have network connectivity (not sure why the screenshot got ghosted like that, but you can see I just redeemed items from a Pokéstop I was near with no errors)
So as you can see, the phone itself, as well as certain apps, work fine. But others don't. I tried turning airplane mode on and back off, disabling/enabling mobile networks, nothing works. The only thing I can do is reboot the phone.
Any ideas? This gets incredibly annoying as I can't seem to go a whole day without *some* app whining that it has no network access. Some apps work flawlessly every time (like the aforementioned Pokémon Go) but others don't.
By the way, that little screenshot button in the bottom left is from this neat app called Custom Navigation Bar. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with this problem, though, all it does is add buttons.

Do you have powersave mode on? I've had some problems with it enabled..
No I don't have power save mode on. Should I turn off the power monitoring of apps as well? Didn't think that mattered as long as power save mode was off.

I turned all the power saving stuff off and still have this happening. As in, I set it to not even monitor how much power each app is using.
Hey all,
Struggling with my V20. I've had it since launch and never had a single issue like this prior. I first started experiencing issues with no notifications showing up on my phone, unless I went into the app (hangouts, gmail, work email, etc.), when I traveled to the west coast (which caused a time change) about two weeks ago. As soon as I came back to EST, everything was working for ... a day. Notifications stopped working again.
So I factory reset my phone and things were better, but still not perfect. Regularly not getting notifications between my primary applications (good for enterprise, gmail, hangouts and google voice). The issue appears to be more so when on WiFi. As soon as I change to cellular I get MOST of my notifications (not all).
I installed Push Notifications which seemed to initially help, but thereafter, no dice. I'm not using any battery saving apps either.
I'm at a loss. What am I doing wrong/missing that I'm having all these issues?
Thanks
I had the same issue. I contacted T-Mobile about it, and the problem seemed to just go away, so it could have been a network problem. However, I also rolled back SuperSU from 2.82 to the 2.79 SR3 by flashing it in TWRP. You should try that and prevent SuperSU from upgrading in the Play Store.
Thanks for the response; however, I'm not rooted.
Now that you mention it, I have had the issue recently as well. I will open snap chat and have snaps or hangouts and have messages. I do not have any kind of battery saver on or block apps from sending notifications. I am on ATT.
I have a friend who's having this exact same issue. He's on the 14B update from Verizon. We're thinking of trying a factory data reset to see if it solves the issue.
Yup. I got the same problem. Unlocked, on Verizon.
LG phones have always seemed to have this issue. This phone, my G5, G4... Annoying
I think I may have found a fix for it. I'll post a YouTube later.

Same issue with Gmail and my work email. I open the app and get flooded with notifications that had never come through.

I know Gmail has had its own issue with notifications that is not related to the phone. Many users including myself get delayed Gmail notifications or not at all. There is a bug tracker on the forum that Google states they apparently fixed but people still complain. It is frustrating.
I'm noticing that the Google app is causing delayed push notifications on all apps for me. I am able to reproduce the delay when connecting bluetooth devices (you may even notice it takes ~10 seconds for the bluetooth connection notification to show up on the secondary screen). I'm seeing the issue go away if you disable the Google app. I'm curious to see if this fixes the delay for other people. Try freezing/disabling the Google app.
I've been using Push Notification Tester where I'm able to see some heavy delays in push notifications being received. Specifically with Bluetooth connect events so far. I found the culprit to be the Google app by watching logs (logcat) and seeing reports that the app is processing events for 10 seconds per event which blocks the queue. If I continuously connect/disconnect bluetooth devices I will see push messages fail to be received for a long time (10 seconds for each bluetooth event adds up....)
If you're only experiencing issues with a specific app this might not be the the same issue. Worth noting I was able to reproduce this issue with a Galaxy S8. Figure I'd just share my findings.
I just disabled my google app, and it seems to have fixed the problem almost immediately. The bluetooth connection notification comes up on the second screen almost immediately, and goes away after a few seconds. Before disabling the app it would take up to 20 seconds to just show up on the screen, and then it would never go away.
Now to figure out why the app is doing it...

I tried on both cellular and WiFi - both don't get passed Notification arrived.
Any suggestions?

So, upon restarting my phone, these notifications (along with 20+ others) finally came through. Appears the only way I can get notifications is as follows:
1) Switch from WiFi to cellular, or vice versa, or Airplane mode - some notifications come through
2) Forcing a manual refresh while within an app
3) Restart the phone
I'm going bananas over here. Ready to smash this thing. I don't understand why doing a factory reset didn't fix this issue.
Help!
FWIW, called VZW, they have absolutely no idea.

By disabling the Google app, this simply rolls back the version of it. Is that you've found to be successful?

I do want to say that this issue is only happening on a recent release of the Google app since I suddenly started noticing this problem one day.
Therefore, rolling the Google app back may solve the problem, but I can't be for sure. You most likely won't be able to disable the Google app via the standard interface. You would need to be rooted and disable/freeze it with an app such as Titanium Backup or 3C System Tuner.
If you want to continue to use the Google app, you can get more advanced and specifically disable the receiver that the Google app is using to intercept the events. Note, though, that this may have side effects on the app, but I have yet to notice any issues. Using 3C System Tuner you can disable the "com.google.android.apps.gsa.broadcastreceiver.CommonBroadcastReceiver" receiver which is what is intercepting and delaying the events/notifications.
App Manager -> Apps -> Google App -> Manage -> Open.. -> Details -> Receivers -> Uncheck "com.google.android.apps.gsa.broadcastreceiver.CommonBroadcastReceiver"

Just be careful using this app as it allows you to change many things.
Here is the logcat message I noticed which was causing the delays. You'll notice it saying the CommonBroadcastReceiver consumed 10011 ms (10 seconds) while processing the android.bluetooth.device.action.UUID broadcast record which is fired when connecting/discovering a bluetooth device. This is why it would take 10 seconds before the event hit the 2nd screen.
Code:
06-21 19:29:27.496 1554 2993 W BroadcastQueue: ResolveInfo{99f8ba4 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.broadcastreceiver.CommonBroadcastReceiver m=0x108000} consumed 10011 ms for handling BroadcastRecord{a529d0d u0 android.bluetooth.device.action.UUID} in background queue
When I disabled Google, it rolled back the version and for the past couple hours, all notifications have been working perfectly. Let's see what the next couple days bring.

My US996 unlocked V20 has been getting progressively worse on bluetooth connections the last couple of months. After waiting and waiting for LG to update the phone, I decided to unlock and root recently. I am still on a stock rom, but at least I have options now.
Using 3C System Tuner to disable CommonBroadcastReceiver as you have shown has been the greatest help of anything I have done. This info could easily merit it's own thread under "V20 bluetooth connection issues".
Before applying your work-around my phones bluetooth connections would become less and less consistent, slow to connect, fail to connect, stuck secondary screen connect notifications, and require frequent reboots to connect to my vehicle.
After disabling CommonBroadcastReceiver, connections are quick and mostly reliable, no stuck secondary screen notifications.
I believe the blame for these problems lies with LG and their lack of attention to google android updates. Google might have fixed these issues 6 months ago and LG has not done anything about it. My US996 was last updated December of 2016, LG said they have no update scheduled for my phone. No security updates, no android updates.
Thanks again for this work-around!
ive had this issue going on for a few months now. how does the google app affect text notifications? this is so frustrating and i am on call for work and i am missing notifications in the middle of the night.
I've recently switched over from iOS to a Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 8. During the first week everything worked just fine. I was receiving push notifications on a regular basis. A few days ago suddenly notifications stopped working intermittently when screen is off. I couldn't find a pattern really. It does it both on Wi-Fi and 4G, for all apps. Sometimes push notifications work, sometimes they are delayed (receiving them after a few minutes) and sometimes they do not work at all.
Each time it doesn't work when I turn on the screen, all notifications pop up with both sound and visual.
What I checked so far:
- Notifications turned on for the specific apps and allowed on lockscreen
- Apps were also put into the "Unmonitored apps" under Device Maintenance - Battery
- Wi-Fi on during sleep set to always
- Data saver turned off
- Optimize battery usage - checked that the apps are set to off
- Even tried by enabling Always On Display setting - same behavior.
For me it seems that the something in the battery optimization process is messing up with the notification service. I can't say for sure if it happens for messages as well as I don't receive text messages so often, but it happens for all other apps: Gmail, Whatsapp and some other apps I use.
I noticed that under Optimize battery usage there are a lot of system services and they are all set to be optimized. Which I find very odd considering that probably some of them are very important for the system to run properly. Is it possible that there is a service there that handles notifications and I should switch off battery optimization for it as well? The only name I found close was a service called "notification" which I disabled, but without success. Still not getting push notifications.
Any idea what else can be checked? If I cannot find a solution to it I will most probably go back to iOS as this is very annoying. I heavily rely on notifications for work purposes as well.
Has anyone managed to permanently resolve this issue yet?

Sadly, I have just encountered this same problem - had my Yoga Book for a couple of weeks only, ran through the Android (version) update(s) and chucked a load of my usual apps on......and then this issue manifested
Having read around, seems that the only/most reliable 'fix' is the Battery Saver toggle, which - frankly - is not good enough. Whatever gets 'suppressed' with this mode is the key - something is not playing nice, and it is restricted to no effect when Battery Saver is on.....but what??

To me the behaviour seems like the update apps function has been disabled with the wrong battery saver state
What exactly happens? I have not got this issue but have seen similar issues on other android devices. If the OS thinks there is an app drawing over the screen. The Install button will show but do nothing when you press it. This is normal behaviour and part of the security for Android. Otherwise an app could draw over the install button with something else to trick you into pressing Install. Battery save is probably a red herring. It just happens to be killing the app with draw over other apps permissions. Look what apps have that permission and then force close one by one till the install works again. That will tell you which it is.
Hope that makes sense.
What happens for me, and I have only had my YogaBook for a few weeks, is that any app you try to update/install from the Play Store just doesn't actually start downloading: You are able to click on the 'Update' or 'Install' button, but then all that happens is that the horizontal progress bar appears, states 'Downloading' but never actually starts/progresses - you can leave this screen in place for several minutes/until patience expires(!)
Only solution I have found is, as per others, to turn on Batter Saver in the settings menu, and the same install/update/download then more or less instantly commences to actually happen!
Very bizarre......some sort of power saving setting in relation to the 'Download Manager' service, I reckon.......but nothing empirical to back this up. However, without fail, toggling the Battery Saver option on instantly allows the download et al to happen.

I noticed - I have not found a clear pattern - that sometimes, apps are installing or updating without the battery saver mode being on. Not always, and again, essentially always battery saver mode fixes this. It seems like they install on battery saver off more often when my VPN is active, but again, it isn't consistent.

Well as i type its back to installing as normal and the only thing i can think of is that my device previously went to zero charge. There was a google apps update too so not sure if its to do with that either.

Its certainly a good hypothesis, however, if i turn battery saver off, i am instantly again not able to download from the play store.
Ok so gets more curios - i installed CCleaner and opening the app makes downloads resume.
Ok so i think i have solved it. In my case it was outlook - i uninstalled it and now can download apps fine
Ok so scratch that, back to usual behaviour. Thought it was touchpal keyboard but no
I've never been able to find a direct cause as to why this happens. I've tried everything, including a full stock flash of the firmware. Even full stock, it worked fine for a while, but the issue eventually resurfaced.
I believe the service that's affected is D2dTransportService - com.google.android.gms.backup.component.D2dTransportService within Google Play Services. For some reason, it becomes disabled, and even forcing it to be enabled through a services manager app doesn't keep it active. I had a lot more insight into this a while back, but have since stopped caring as nothing worked and Lenovo isn't going to fix anything at this point.
No idea what's going on, but as others have said, the battery saver toggle is the only surefire 'fix' at this point. Given everything else seems to be working as expected, I've let it go and just accepted this as the new norm, ha.
I had kinda given up too, as the battery saver toggle was a hassle but worked. The past few days, it hasn't been working however. I spent most of the morning disabling various apps and services just to get back to being able to use the battery saver workaround. I'm so annoyed with lenovo and won't suggest their stuff anymore.
Ok so it gets more curious - the downloading works as expected when running in safe mode. The only thing that I can see that isn't running in the processes monitor is under 'Google services'. I have managed to get the downloading working as normal with a combination of disabling various processes but I can't replicate the steps each time.
right so i've narrowed it down to swiftkey keyboard. removing swiftkey and clearing the data of the download manager has fixed my downloading issue. back to normal!
Hmmm, I haven't installed Swiftkey (or any other 3rd party keyboard) on my YogaBook, and have tried clearing Download manager data/cache previously, along with all the other Google Play related things (services etc.)......and no joy, still only manage to download/update from Playstore when the Battery Saver is enabled.
Interestingly, however, the tablet will always identify/notify of available updates.....this means that the connectivity in Playstore works partially at all times, it is just the actual download element it fails on!!!!!

I'm bumping an old thread, but how do you get it in safe mode? I tried holding down the volume key on boot and it did not seem to work.
I thought at one point that, when I had SwiftKey installed, I started getting a lot more random reboots and also apps would not update even with battery saver. When I uninstalled it, apps started installing with battery saver again, but now I just re installed it, and they are still downloading with battery saver. So I still don't know, and now I'm not sure if it is causing the random reboots, either. Every once in a while I futz with it or else I just kind of let it be.

Try a "force stop" of the "Android Accessibility Suite" then start "Play Store" and see if updating now works.
