Gmail notifications always come late - LG V20 Questions & Answers

anyone have this problem? I have a feeling it's because of doze but even at that when I turn the phone on, nothing comes through until I actually open the app. anyone else have this?
Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk

I have an AT&T model, and yes, sometimes Gmail is received late. I've had people send me an email, and 10 minutes later nothing has happened. Then I open the Gmail app, and 5 messages suddenly show up. This is intermittent. Most of the time I don't see a delay.

weird. maybe it's just super aggressive doze.

I have the same issue. I have gone into the settings for the battery. Added Gmail to the ignore optimizations list. I don't know yet if that fixes the problem.
For what it's worth, I had exactly the same issue on my Note 7. I can't remember for certain, but I think I did something similar there to fix it. I may even have completely disabled battery optimization.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Even after ignoring battery optimization for Gmail. Sometimes it doesn't notify at all until I open the app, several hours after the emails arrived.

I have this exact same issue with Gmail and Kik (messenger). I wasn't aware that there was a battery optimization setting to ignore certain apps, so I'm going to give that a try later today.

Add me to this list too

Me too on V20 and my Note 4. Send and recieving sometimes hours later. Frustrating. Tried wiping caches, reinstalling and reflashing. I dont believe its my phones.

An update on how I got on. I added Gmail to the ignore optimizations list as I previously said. That didn't seem to resolve the issue. So I thought about what else might be used by the phone to process incoming email. I went through the list and I also added Google Services Framework. That seems to have worked and I'm waking up to a phone with pending notifications.

I have the same problems. Where is this battery optimization option located? I can't seem to find it.
Thank you

WhatsApp notifications...

For some reason my WhatsApp notifications don't come through until I open the app. Can't find a seeing in the app that would cause this. I do use greenify aggressive dose so that could be it not sure.

Might need to turn off battery optimization for it
Be careful with aggressive doze, it broke things on my phone like bypassing lock screen and the clock not updating. Definitely turn that off and see if the problem persists.
Having the same problem. I had greenify and aggressive doze and it would sleep whatsapp so I removed it. I have since reinstalled and even flashed back a stock rom via twrp and have wiped as well and I'm still having the problem with whatsapp. It doesn't happen everytime but when doze kicks in, it happens.

Location Services Issue

Starting this week I've been experiencing a serious battery drainage in my device.
I've noticed this drainage happens at a time when Location Services appear to be working, for no apparent reason.
Now, I always have Location Services on, but I can never see it in the upper bar (the one where you can see the time, Wi-Fi connection, battery) unless I use an app that relies on it.
However, in the past few days, I see Location Services up there even though I'm not using any app that relies on it. What's worse is that it stays there even after I close all apps. In regular cases it tends to remain there as long as the app that needs it is running. As soon as I close the app, Location Services disappear from the upper bar.
If I turn off Location Services it will go away. However, once I turn it on it will be up there again. It will only go away if I reboot my phone.
Do you guys have any idea what may be causing this? I bought by Nexus 6p by the end of February and hadn't experienced this issue until this week. Before that, my battery usage was normal, and I could go a full day without having to charge my battery.
This issue, on the other hand, can drain my battery in the span of 1 or 2 hours.
Already noticed this problem and found the reason: Maps!

But I haven't used them.
For example, today I faced that problem solely by opening up Facebook. Then I rebooted my phone, opened up Facebook again but the problem didn't happen.
Now, I'm thinking this isn't happening by simply opening Facebook or Twiiter, but whenever I open them through the notification bar.
This is really odd.
I noticed the same battery drain. One night my phone batter wound up being pretty much dead. Today I noticed significant drain and when I looked at battery use, I saw where the consumption seemed to increase and observed the location services icon at the top of the phone that wouldn't go away even after making sure all apps were shut down. I don't really have many apps on my phone (certainly not ones that need location, so I suspect a recent update to Maps.
My first step was to delete and reinstall the updates. so let's see if that fixes it. If not, I'll just remove the updates and run that way until another version comes out. I suspect is just a goofed install or we would hear far more complaints of this issue.
I was literally getting ready to make a post about this. Sure enough, force-closing Maps stopped the issue. Glad to see it wasn't just me.
I'm having the same issue. I get the location icon on my status bar at random times and it stays there until a reboot. It eventually comes back. Pretty annoying as it is causing my phone not to deep sleep. I'm on stock with Franco kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I'm having the same issue on latest stock firmware on both my SM-N910T3 & SM-T700. Started noticing the location icon all the time about a week ago, just about when it came out with the latest update on 4/1.
Well, uninstalling and reinstalling the updates to Maps didn't fix anything. I have uninstalled the updates and will monitor.

Facebook is, by far, the worst app you can have downloaded. It is the cause of general phone issues and bad battery life. I uninstalled both FB and FB messaging and my wake lock issue was fixed and, in turn, my battery life is noticeably better

I did a full master reset of my phone and am only running default applications. I still get the runaway location services. Before I did that, I downgraded Maps and that seemed to help. But then my phone automatically updated it. I know I can probably fix that situation but I'm surprised we aren't seeing more people with the problem.
Nexus 5x owner here (but posting my experience since this is literally the only thread on this anywhere).
Symptoms: Similar to everyone in this thread, location icon was popping up and staying resident in the top status bar. This was happening even without an event launching and causing massive battery drain. This was atypical of usage since my phone is basically not even used (essentially a notification machine with light text usage).
Checking the location menu, everything was listed as light usage, except for Maps as heavy usage (even though Maps wasn't even launched or in the recents menu)
Variables: Unfortunately, since my phone has been perfect since launch, I haven't been paying attention to all the updates granularly to isolate what was causing this. But, I do know for sure it happened after the April Monthly update and after a Maps update.
Troubleshooting: I was hoping it wasn't a system update issue, so I started poking around in the Maps settings to see if maybe a new Maps service was launched that was auto-enrolling users and potentially causing battery drain. Nothing to note, but I did notice I was signed out of Maps, which seemed weird. So I went ahead and re-signed into Maps with my Google Account.
Results: I honestly didn't expect this to have any impact, but the location issue hasn't come up after signing into Maps. It's been ~ 3 weeks and 4 battery cycles since I've had the location issue.
I'm not sure if signing in helped or maybe a server side Maps update fixed the bug, but if you're still having the location issue, it's worth a shot to see if you're signed into Maps (and sign in to try to fix the location issue).
If this does work for you, please report back since it will help in data gathering (and also we can let Google know the exact details of the issue and the potential fix so this bug doesn't hit in future versions).

DT2 - Drastic Battery Drain! Google services?

I am coming from a Droid Turbo - best phone I ever had -and never had any issues with it. Perfect right from the start.
I now have a DT2 and I get this immense battery drain at random times. The phone runs super hot and the drain is equivalent to 1% per minute. REAL BAD!
I even had the phone replaced and the problem persisted, so I know it's not a hardware issue.
The drain goes away in safe mode as well. So it must be software!
I've dwindled everything down with no positive results.
So I started looking at GSAM to get better stats on the battery.
It's showing Google Services eating up all of my battery with gmail trailing close behind.
So I look at my accounts and they seem to be constantly syncing. As soon as one stops, the other starts and they keep cycling like that.
All of my accounts are set to Push and I have very few items in my account checked off to sync.
Just the basics like people details, mail, calendar, contacts, google keep and g+. Everything else is turned off.
FYI, I also have an exchange account on there set to push and am on the latest Marshmallow update.
I've attached 3 screenshots to help visualize what's going on.
The most notable one is the standard batter app. The big dip is when the phone started getting hot and draining.
Does anyone know whats happening or how to fix it? I never had this problem with my original Droid Turbo, even with the same accounts.
wow, nothing so far?

Maybe it's syncing too often ? Try to limit permissions for Google apps , or turn off data sync for a while and check if that fix it
Finally someone with the same problem as me. I've noticed the exact same behavior in Gmail (constant rotating sync which makes the phone hot and kills battery). However, Gmail doesn't show up in my battery stats as a battery drain, which is strange - but I do see Google Services. Unfortunately I have no permanent solution, but clearing the cache AND data for the gmail app solved the problem for about a week. Now it's back again. I have 7 google accounts in my phone, but sync is turned on for only 4.
Looking at other forums, many say that google play services is the cause, but I haven't been able to find any solid answers other than "restart", "clear cache/data", or the dreaded "factory reset". I hate having to factory reset to solve problems. Hopefully someone else who has had the same issue, or maybe someone who knows what's going on can help us troubleshoot.

I've contacted Motorola and they just want to give me a new phone. I'm on my 3rd from Verizon.
And yes, it is Google Services causing the issue as that operates a load of apps. However, we need greater details. If we got root on the phone, GSAM might be able to get more detailed information on the drain or the real app causing it.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's a Marshmallow bug.
Here are 2 work arounds that do not include clearing cache or factory resetting.
If you notice it getting hot,
1: toggle airplane mode until it cools
2: Download an autosync toggle widget to turn on/off sync
I do #2.

Delayed notifications on V20 - help!

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...

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.

Problem with push notifications when phone is sleeping / idle

Hello!
I'm running a stock Verizon HTC 10 with the latest OTA updates. This phone seems to have a problem with push notifications after it has been "sleeping" or idle for awhile. I don't know exactly what that time period is, but it seems to be about 30 minutes. Once the screen goes black and the phone has been idle in this state for this time period, the phone stops getting (or checking for-however that works) push notifications. There is no blinking LED or sound notification that mail has come for gmail or Outlook. The phone will still answer calls and notify upon receipt of text messages. Usually within a few seconds of turning the screen on from the idle state, the gmail and Outlook notifications come. When the phone screen is on, or within a few minutes of turning the screen off, the push notifications will still come, but then stop.
I googled about this, and there seems to be quite a bit of discussion about it. I have tried the suggested remedies, but they don't work (unsync/sync gmail, clear data/cache for the apps, turn battery optimization off, delete/re-add accounts, along with some others). For work, I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have this problem. Furthermore, my wife also has an HTC 10, and her phone doesn't seem to have the problem either (although I have not tested it thoroughly).
I've been through various settings, checked the do not disturb settings, but I can't seem to figure this out. I am probably missing some setting. It seems that the phone is going into some deep sleep mode after a period of time and disabling these apps, but keeping others, like the phone and SMS functions, alive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Are you using power saver mode? What about the boost+ app?
Also a lot of people started having similar issues after the first update to Nougat for U.S Unlocked. Later updates fixed the issue, but it sometimes still happening with Gmail for me.
