I have noticed now that when I recieve a SMS message that I get the notification sound but no longer does the unit turn on and display the message like it used to. If I turn the screen on it displays the message like normal but it doesn't automagically turn the screen on. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing that changed that functionality or is that normal now?
It is normal now, I prefer the new way
Yep its normal like that and i should agree with Master Zviratko that the new way is better...

Its a side effect of a feature/bug in 2003. Lots of applications where hit by it.
You will find that if your device is connected to AC power it will function the way it used too.
With 2003, when on battery power, it no longer just turns off the display it doesn't process applcations in the background anymore to get more battery life.
Anyhow, on a notification you get a brief spurt of processing time, then it goes away, so with 2003 applications first of all your code has to turn on the display again, bringing the device back to life.
Other apps that play sounds on notifications may not even play the full sound, depending on the length of the sound.

When you think about this, you'll maybe see this is really the right thing to do. For instance, imagine you're running an IRC client. You would want it to receive the IRC data as it comes in, doing precisely this: keep the screen off, do a brief spurt of processing, just enough to see what's going on and maybe alert the user, and then go to sleep again.
Any other way would drain the batteries really quickly, this has a chance of keeping people online in a meaningful way all day.
it still works the same way as it did, when i put a file to download and execute the ByteCounter.exe, i hear the beeps as the data flow. However, sometimes it just drops the connection.
Btw, I suspect that the Always on GPRS feature to keep the device connected during a call is just a fake! The device disconnects when making a call and then reconnnects - IP changes.

Hello,
you wrote that the device isn't switch on, when a new short message comes in. That is a problem of the Radio Stack Version. I have the PPC 2003 version 4.0.01 and Radio Stack 4.21. And I have the same feature/bug. I told to microsoft about this and they told me, that there is a new radio stack in test. This new radio stack will fix that.

Hi,
I've searched for several hours now in these forums and on Google, with no success.
I need an app that leaves the device switched on, but powers off the screen.
In settings/power I can dim the screen, but there is no setting to dim it completely or just switch it off.
I've found screensavers that can show a blank screen, but the screen is still actually powered up, just showing a black image presumably.
I've found apps that can switch off the screen. But you have to manually click on them to switch off the screen.
Does anyone know of a screensaver that after a set interval will leave the device running, but power off the screen please?
Suspend is no good, the device must be up and running apps.
Thanks for your help.

What apps are you trying to "keep running"? The only thing that might be an issue when the screen goes into it's normal sleep mode is that audio will stop outputting, and wifi connections will suspend, but there's cabs available here to easily get around both of those (and keep them going even when the screen shuts off).
Well, it's actually to solve another long-running problem that has made me almost lose the will to live....
Alarms don't go off reliably on my TP2.
Sometimes, randomly, the alarm doesn't go off until I press the power button to wake it up. The the alarm instantly goes off. So, if I set an alarm for 6am, sometimes the phone wakes up and the alarm sounds, sometimes not. And if I switch the phone on manually sometime later, at 6:15 say, the 6am alarm sounds then.
It will work fine for a few days, then fail.
It happened on WM6.1 and still continues after upgrading to WM6.5.
I have spent countless hours googling and searching XDA-Dev. I have tried probably ten different alarm apps, with no luck. I have hard-reset various times. I have tried various recommended registry tweaks. I've tried checking the notification queue regularly for any errors. I've tried so many different suggestions, for example, never pressing the power button to turn the phone off, only ever let it hibernate automatically. Warm-resetting it each day. And the list goes on.
So, I'm experimenting with just leaving the phone on forever. But turning the screen off at night to save power / not shorten the life of the screen hardware.
Which leads me to the question about screensavers which actually power off the screen automatically after a set delay. Just like a normal screensaver on a PC.
It's hard to easily convey the frustration I have for the TP2. An excellent phone. But a phone which I can't trust to do the simplest thing: to wake me up in the morning?
It'll end up in the bin at some point very soon now.....
A suggestion
Hi,
In my opinion there must be an application, change or customisation that is leading you to those problems. My suggestion is, to perform a sync towards any computer or server to keep your contacts, then, hard reset and keep the phone with the factory defaults for a while. Then, test the phone's alarms and if all is okay, add one by one your applications and changes, testing the alarms in between. Please do that on the official ROM (whatever 6.5 or 6.1) but official one. You will flash if needed later on.
I know it will be a pain, but you will find the problem.
I am using a TP2 with stock WM6.5 ROM. I have not had yet any issue with the alarms. However, I remember to have had those kind of problems before with WM 5.0 and 6.1. There were always related to freeware applications, customisations, no official ROMs, registry hacks and restored backups done from older builds upon upgrade. The alarm bug in old WM version was also known, but I have not experienced it on newer versions.
There can be some issues with the notification database by times, but as said above, it is almost every time due to customisations.
I am not saying that we should keep our phones without applications, third party software, cooked ROMs, customisation etc. But the goal is to find out what is the reason, and believe me. It is the best if not only way.
If you post the list of applications and hacks that you have in your phone, I can try to see if there is any I could identify like guilty one, based on my own experience.
Complementary, I recommend you to install and use these two applications in attachment. They have worked for me on WM5, 6, 6.1 and 6.5 so far. They are freeware and therefore you can use them without problems.
Good luck!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. All very good advice. I'll have a go when I've got some free time again. In the meantime, has anyone come across a screensaver that actually powers off the screen please?
Thanks again.

do you turn your ringer to silent or vibrate when you go to bed? if so,
go to start/settings/clocks&alarms/more and make sure that the "sound alarms box" is checked. this will make sure that even if your phone ringers/alerts are off, your alarm will ring. also, if you charge your phone while you sleep, go to the backlight settings and uncheck the "turn screen off on ac power" box. if you cant sleep with the phone light on, set it to max dim on ac power and flip it over. i always had this issue when i had the tmobile wing.

S2U2 on this forum.
try g alarm.it worked perfect for me with tilt
I have similar Issues with my TP2;
I notice that it is more to do with HIBERNATING than screen off.
My TP2 has go to the point where allowing it to go to hibernation means Screen of Death.
Overnight I charge it and do not let the screen go off and it seems ok (so far).
Guess I will have to Hard reset and test my freeware.
Cheers

I had the exact same problem. When the phone goes to sleep, it is ASLEEP. I didn't use the alarm too much but the phone would never notify me when SMS arrived. I'd hit the power switch to check, and bam, three messages arrive at once, some from hours ago. Immensely frustrating, but the problem went away when I installed Energy rom.
Hi Folks,
I try to keep my remarks / questions as brief/straight as possible.
Some days ago a huge German electronic-chain called Media Markt offered the Axon 7 for only 229€, for only a couple of hours. I could not resist although I was very satisfied with my Alcatel Idol 3 (4.7) with Android MM.
Now I installed the exact same Apps that I have been using on my Alcatel on the Axon 7 (Android 7.1.1, B04). I do not have the problems that some are mentioning on various fora like connectivity issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell). My settings are Wi-Fi (always on), Cell on (but not data on so far, not in the need to do it), GPS sometimes on, Bluetooth sometimes on, Display very low, no automatic.
I have some weird notification issues with various apps installed by myself and strange behaviour with system apps.
Wherever it was possible, I've chosen the same settings (Energy, Apps) as with my Alcatel on Android 6.0.1.
But, I rarely get notifications (for example AquaMail, WhatsApp, eBay, etc.) or, I hear the notification sound (when my phone was on stand-by) but the symbols are not shown in the status bar, notifications bar?!?!?
Another strange behaviour is that of my podcast app, called Podcast Addict:
I listen to a downloaded audio podcast, pause the playback, for example to get a coffee in the meantime, go back to my phone, unlock the screensaver and the pause symbol that was shown in the notification, status bar on the device before I left the phone, is not there any more!?!?! I have to open the app again to continue listening to the audio file. The exact same applies for the stock music player.
Or, for example I receive a notification for an incoming WhatsApp message, shown on the notification bar, I do not open WhatsApp, the notification symbol should/is still visible, but after the screensaver has been activated (set it to 1 minute) and I have to reactivate the phone (be it by fingerprint or by pattern), the symbol is no longer there.
Another strange thing. The phone was in stand-by, I heard a notification sound, activated the phone, there was no notification symbol on the bar. I knew what App it was, so I opened it and yes, there has been something going on (the App is called Quizduell).
All these bugs (?), problems have never occurred running the Alcatel smartphone.
This is pretty annoying.
I already switched off the phone, wiped data cache, without success.
Maybe some of you can help me out, give me advice on where to look for the problems to be solved.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers Christian
Change the power policy of each app to off which u use mostly in power manager in settings.... It will most certainly help you out..
@germanyandroid Do what the other guy said, that's really impoetant. Also what system are you on? A2017G B02?
I don't know what the Axons are shipping with right now. Be sure to update at least manually to 1.2.0 B02 (that's Nougat), to rule out any system problems. Welcome to ZTE's horrible OTA system...
Hi! Thanks so far for your help. Most notifications are now coming in without changes to the Battery Optimization settings. There is something wrong with these settings, which I will report in a separate thread.
Again, thanks for your help thus far.
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.

I am not using power saver mode, and the Verizon version doesn't have the boost+ app installed.
Hello,
recently I decided to update my Mi A1 to Android 9.0. Unfortunately it turns out that I have a big problem with notifications. Sometimes they come "normally", at the time they should. However, it often happens that notifications appear with a delay of 10-30 minutes. Sometimes they don't even come at all until I turn on the screen. In this case of course I am talking about the lack of notifications when the phone is unused. However, I once had a case when notifications from Facebook Messenger did not come for more than 3 hours, despite the use of the phone - car navigation, browsing the Internet, notes, etc. Messenger didn't show notifications of new messages until I opened it. I've tried to turn off the adaptive battery mode, but it did not help. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Everything worked well on Android 8.0, but I do not feel like going back to it again.

- Click on Not optimized on the top and select All apps
- Scroll to messenger an Click on it and select Don't optimize
you can do this with any app
hope this help u
I will try this, hope it helps. However on Android 8.0 I had optimization turned on and notifications were working fine.
