Latest Lollipop apps, installation

So we probably have seen the hype about the lollipop apps in material design starting to pop out based on the latest dump.
Ie play music, calendar, messenger, google fit, play books, keep, drive ect.
Anyways ive been trying for the life of me to get the messenger to work. The play music installed and worked with oit a prob.
However ive tryed everything on messenger and it continues to use my hangouts.
Ive got nexus 5 with lolipop preview that was flashed the adb way.
I installed the ap conventional way and i had hangouts, mms, and messenger installed...set the defaults and i still reviebed texts in hangouts.
so i thought hmm lets rename and replace with stock messages in the system folder. Did that and it dissapeared so i just had messenger and hangouts. Still got texts on hangouts... I got mad and went and uninstalled hangouts. Then i got no texts... Now i copied the apk into system/lib even tho i dont see any system apps in ther and still getting everytjing in hangouts.
What could i possibly be doing wrong!?!?!
Is it just the way hangouts works or wtf. Anyone else have same prob.
If you don't know of the apps here following source

This goes in q&a buddy
Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 Lollipop

did you ever make messenger your new default sms app?

LOL
If he went through all that and didn't think to set it as default... [emoji1] [emoji38] [emoji28] [emoji23] [emoji24]
Seriously though, this belongs in Q&A.

I may have 10 posts but i set the appropriate defaults as mentioned in op.
Contribute on topic would be appreciated.

Then it's possible that the functionality isn't fully implemented until the final release. You would have better luck posting this in one of the dedicated Android L threads in the General or Q+A section. That or in one of the two android Lollipop development threads in the developer section. Mods will probably close or move this when they see it anyways. It doesn't belong here, it belong in Q&A. Not everyone is bothering to run L at this point, so you'd have better luck in a thread that everyone is running it. Good luck.

whatsapp notifications

I am having this issue since marshmallow
Had it on my n5 and now on n6p no matter on which rom
I don't have Greenify installed
I am using the stock theme system wide
My wifi connection is pretty stable
I have disabled whatsapp in battery optimization
I have not restored it through TB rather downloaded it from play store
Its like if i dont pick up my device after around 10 or 15 mins i dont get any notification from whatsapp and when i open it then i receive them
Is there really a fix for this?
Because i heavily rely on whatsapp and have to continously force waking it
Also i tried to change the heartbeat by setting it to 5 mins which was recommended default by the app
Anyone with any ideas? Because I'm out of all:crying:

I have tried clearing app data as well
But still does not help

Notifications will sometimes arrive when launching the app

Hi guys,
my issue is easy to describe, but I really don't know how to fix it.
Problem:
Normally Whatsapp, Snapchat or what else, will give you a notification when u have a message or something like this.
But sometimes, I really dont know when, sometimes when it's cleared from recents, sometimes when it's still in recents, the "information" wont come through.
For example, when a friend of mine sends a whatsapp to my device, he just has one tick and I dont receive anything. When I open Whatsapp manually, it "loads" all the information on the server and only then gives me the notification.
So it isnt really the problem of the Notification. I think the real problem is, that because whatsapp is like in a doze or something, the messages wont arrive on my device.
This problem isn't only for whatsapp, it's on all my apps which have like a "background communication"
Tried fixes:
In smart manager is excluded them from the saving power option
Checked if there is like a mobile data restriction
Cleared dalvik cache
Used Push Notification Fixer - but as I mentioned, I dont think this problem is the real notification, there is just no message, which could notify me
Re-installed the app with out titanium backup -- so fresh clean Google Play Store installation
My Device:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge -- SM-G935F
Superman-Rom v 1.12 --> I tried with other customroms -- same problem
Prometheus Kernel 1.5.3
If anybody has any possible solution, please let me know
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi @MisterEvo,
i unfortunately cannot help you, but I wanted to say, you are not the only one with this problem - i recognized these "Push-notification-issues" too.
I tried nearly everything to fix it, like different Custom Roms, different Kernels, different Bootloaders, clear cache or reinstall app, disabled app in smartmanager, allowed background data usage and so on, but nothing, really nothing fixed my push-notification bug.
I would really appreciate if there are any suggestions from the community.
Regards.

S7 Edge Notification Delay and A Lot of Other Problems

Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER

You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).

Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...

I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...

Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs

already tried... doesn't help at all...

Phone not receiving real time notifications

Hi, I have an OP5 on stock Open Beta 5, I'm currently rooted.
Apps that usually have real time notifications or functions don't seem to work until I manually start them after bootup, or even don't work at all.
For example, my mail app now doesn't give me notifications, rather I would have to open up the app manually and refresh the app to see my mail load. Other apps like a notification mirroring app don't work at all until I launch it once on my phone every restart.
I thought it was like Greenify shutting these processes down but I've uninstalled that since. Any ideas?

Did you reboot and wipe cache? What mods did you use additional? Please give more details about your setup.
You can also exclude apps from battery optimization for keeping this apps awake even when doze kicks in so messages came always through and not only in specific time periods.

Hi, I'm currently rooted with Magisk. I tried excluding the app from battery optimisation and so far it's been working.
