Disable Power Saving only for specific Apps? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi there
I have this issue again where I don't receive notifications with Google Inbox app when I receive email.
I had this issue before on my s6 and it was related to power saving. There was a way to fix this and only for a specific app. But now I can't find it even did Google Search.
Also tried to look into it via S8 settings everywhere but can't find it and I don't want to shut off power savings mode.
Any idea how I can disable it just for specific apps?

you'll need to set Inbox to "Apps not optimized"
in battery usage (device maint. > battery > battery usage > 3 dots > optimized apps )
choose All apps then turn off toggle for Inbox.

I've been having this kind of problem with WhatsApp. I see the notification icon arrive but it doesn't really notify me with sound until after a couple of minutes.
Hopefully what @crayonyes wrote is what I needed. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I did that. Unfortunately still doesn't work. I checked everything, all notifications & sync is on. I even put Inbox as high priority app. Still no notifications.
I've had so many problems with Google Inbox & notifications on my previous Galaxy and now again. Just really annoying it persists.
Not sure what to do now.

Try clearing data for Gmail. This has worked for a few people.

Turning off email notification?

Just picked up the G2 yesterday and I love it for the most part. Hoping some of you can help me on one thing.
I generally keep my phone on vibrate mode and want notifications for text messages, calendar reminders, etc... but not when I receive a new email. I've checked my Gmail settings, and vibration is turned off there. However, my phone still vibrates for every email.
I've gone through every general setting I can, but I can't seem to figure out how to turn this off. Anyone have an answer?
it's not under the general settings, its under the account settings.

Gmail account settings? If so i already have those settings set correctly. If not which settings are you referring to?
Anybody else? I'd really like to solve this issue.

I went to accounts under settings and removed my gmail from the Email accounts. There is no reason to have gmail there when you can just use the gmail app... kinda annoying. Then you can just have gmail give you notifications when you get a gmail.. like it should be?
I know this thread is a bit old, but I still can't figure out how to stop Gmail from vibrating every time I get an email. Has anyone figured this quirk out?

If you are using the Gmail App then go to the gmail app settings > click your email> then "Inbox sound & vibrate" > uncheck vibrate
That's just it though, it still vibrates even when vibrate is not checked.

Anyone figure this out? I keep my phone on vibrate also and gmail vibrates every time even though it's unchecked.
Did you ever figure this out? I am also being affected by this problem.
Hi guys, yes I managed to make the incredible annoying vibrating to stop each time I get a new e-mail or message (sms).
Go to the Message-app - in the right corner (on the phone) press Menue - Settings - Turn off "Vibrate".
Now you should get no vibrations at all when receiving sms/mms or email (I have a Sony Xperia P).
this worked for me

Open gmail icon then in menu mode, look for settings under label settings. Not sure why it's there but it is. Open label settings and choose the device notifications
Sound, and under sound choices choose Silent. It's at the top of my lg choices. I can't think why they combined text and email. Who in their right mind want a d
ing every time an email comes in!??

[Q] Show Notifications driving me nuts..

Everyone,
I know how to go into application manager and uncheck the "show notifcations" box to stop notifications from application / games.
What is happening though, is the manufacturers of the games / apps. are releasing frequent updates to their game / app., which then resets the "show notifications" box to checked, and I am being woke up in the middle of the night several times a week by my phone receiving these marketing pushes from the recently updated game / app.
I work in I.T., and receive pages to my phone, (I use Missed Messages to make sure I get and acknowledge important messages), so I just can't disable all notifications in the evening hours.
Is there a way to permanently, even after updates, make sure that the "show notifications" box stays unchecked at all times for an application or game?
Maybe a notification manager app, or a setting I can manually modify, (without negatively impacting Missed Messages and my work related pages)?
Thank you!
Kdvditters.
P.S. My phone is a T-mobile, Note 3, stock (not rooted).

I think you mean playstore not application manager?
Are you letting the apps 'auto update' ?
If so,turn off in playstore and then you can update apps when you want,when done turn of notifications again.
What you can try:
Greenify (app) all the apps. It basically shuts down all apps you add to the list through Force Stop. Usually shuts them up for me.
Deep Sleep Battery Saver works on a similar process.

Blocking App Notifications Will Spare My Batt?

Hi there!
I am trying to squeeze every bit of batt from my device... So, if I go to settings, sound and notifications, app notifications and block all those I donĀ“t expect any updates, will it keep them from checking?
For example, if I go to app notifications and block tapatalk... will it keep the app from checking for updates and thus not using the internet, not waking up the device etc and would that spare the battery or would that only block the "displaying" of the info, but the app would still check / wake up the device to check?
Thanks!
Disabling notifications will do exactly that, just disable the notification from appearing on your notification bar. Your phone will still be syncing data and checking for notifications, you just wont receive them.
In order to stop the phone from checking, you need to turn off sync for whichever apps you're concerned with. You can usually do this from directly within the app, or by going to settings>accounts.

That said, if the goal is to keep from spending batt, I have to go into each app and disable their sync/notification options....
Thank you Sir.
Yes, and if there is no option from that within the app, check Settings>Accounts, it should be there.
Goodluck

OREO and WhatsApp popup

After OREO Beta update I can't disable the annoying WhatsApp popup (showing on top of screen) , somehow the app override my settings config.
I disabled notification on settings - app settings - WhatsApp messages
But after someone send me a message and the annoying popup shows up and the settings went back to default.
Only me??
Same here... Very annoying... Can anyone help?
Tks in advance
do you mean the white head-up notification? if yes:
1) enable usb debugging in dev.settings
2) adb devices
3) to disable all heads-up: adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
4) to enable all heads-up: a db shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
Do I need to root my phone to do this?
Guys, I still haven't solved this... Anyone can help? I had to disable all whatsapp notification... This does not make sense at all... Oreo is bugged as hell!!! Please help!

Can't you add the app to game tuner or game launcher (not sure which one) and disable notifications?
I guess it at least works when whatsapp is open.
The only way to solve this is installing an older whatsapp version (prior to oreo) ... I did it and now is working perfectly...
There is a bug with whatsapp and the notifications channels...
there is no error, and google does not do something without being able to customize its options and more referring to notifications.
To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen).
I hope that is the solution that several users are looking for. Greetings.
Anyway to disable notification bar contents as well or disable notification bar in general and get some sort of icon on the top showing there is something to whatsapp related.. going to be honest my wife sometimes sends me some subjective material and I don't want the world to see.
Notification seeting reverts back
Hi
I followed the steps
"To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen)."
But when the next WhatsApp message come in it reverts to Urgent by itself , even if you turn off notifications completely.
Same for others?:
Same thing here. I've done that countless of times. Instead of Urgent, I set it to low because I don't want any sound, and for sure not that super annoying dropdown notification that appears on screen.
All I want, is a little whatsapp symbol on top letting me know there is a message, or if customized that way, a blinking light when a message comes in. Silent.
But to no avail, it always gets back to "Urgent".
I'll try medium now.
Anyone found a solution for this? I have the same issue, soon as i get a whatsapp message it reverts the notification settings! So frustrating!
EDIT: Okay I found something that works for me. In the Settings > Notifications > Whatsapp, I set the profile to be "High", and it hasn't overwritten my changes yet, no popup anymore.

Couldn't find the same importance level under the WeChat setting mentioned sad, why is that some app like WhatsApp has these setting while others don't
No matter what I do I still get the pop up notifications once I receive a new message
Setting the Importance to 'High' worked for me to stop WhatsApp heads up. I have Samsung Note 8 on Oero 8.0.
Thank you thank you thank you. Been doing my head in since getting my Note 8.
can anyone post the whatsapp version pre oreo that doesn't have the notification bug issue?
Setting the importance to "high" solves part of the problem since it disables pop-ups. But that doesn't solve the vibration/sound problem...
Setting it to "medium" or "low" doesn't work since it will revert back to "high" after the next message I receive.
So there's currently no way to solve this : I either get full notifications from WhatsApp (vibration on each message, including group messages, okay no pop-up but 300 vibrations per day is quite annoying), or I disable all WhatsApp notifications and then I don't get anything... Retarded design
It's seriously bugged as hell... Was super fine in Nougat (using Galaxy S7 edge)
Ok
Hasn't this been solved yet? Why the hell does WhatsApp override the settings in the notification channels after you change them? How can this even be allowed by the OS?
I've been facing the same issue for months. I want my group chats to be set to "low" importance and my private messages to "high", which works perfectly fine with Telegram. But WhatsApp keeps reverting the settings no matter what I do.
Any way to solve this?
Exact same problem here, super annoying.

[Ask] Delay Notification When The Screen Off in Samsung S10 Plus

Hi, i wanna ask about delay notifications. I'm using my phone for work, so i need real time notifications for every message that i got from gmail and another applications.
The problem are :
1. Delay notifications, the delay notifications solved when i turn off some applications from battery optimization.
But it's only solved the problems when the screen on
2. Delay notifications when screen off.
I've already change the Doze to disable from Adb [adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable], it's solved in the first time i tried. but never success after restart until now. Every time I set the Doze Disable from Adb for now, and when i check it from CPU Spy, there's always got deep sleep (Doze). Never success again for disable the Doze
any solutions?
You can try the delay notifications like this :
1. Let the screen turn off, and waiting 5-10 minutes
2. Better there's no any notification from SMS, Phone Call or Whatsapp etc arround 5-10 minutes
3. Send some Gmail message into your Samsung S10 Plus from another account and another Devices
4. You'll never received the email until you turn on the screen
That's my problems :crying:
have some problem, stock and gmail app - both

I've already 3 times reset. Still have some problems
Hi,
Even I am also facing the similar problem.. But for whatsapp I found one work around.
Go to setting - - > Notification - - > Messages.
You'll find pop up notification there.. You can set it as 'only when screen off'. Please check the attached screenshot.
Then.. You'll get the notifications on lock screen..

For whatsapp i've no any problems from the first time. But for another apps like indonesian marketplace and gmail, but i've solved my problems for now.
I've install 2 application for turn on the CPU in the background, so there's no any delay and no any deep sleep for my phone for now.
@LoGaY how did you solve it?
