Notifications

Notifications on apps like whatsapp, gmail etc, are very unreliable when the the screen has been off a while. We have the same problem with the Le Max 2 in our house.
Anybody experiencing the same?

No problem here at the moment.

Do you use greenify? That tends to sleep apps, there's an option to keep notifications on so you can get them still. Seems like probably another issue though.

I'm suffering exactly the same issue. When I receive any push message from Hangout or Whatsapp the phone does not play any notification sound, even though when I turn on the screen I can see the notification on the lockscreen and on the notification bar if I unlock by fingerprint.
This morning I realized that if you plug in headphones the notification message sound will get through.... quite weird....
It looks to me we will have to wait for the following OTA and see if it gets fixed. By the way my phone is Chinese/EU version.

Problem fixed easily:
to to the phone's manager/ power saving management, then the lock screen app protection, you need to set those apps 'protected' , so when the screen is off, they are still protected in the background. you may also want to check the align wake up which is another power saving feature. basically, you need to let any apps you want to have notification stay 'protected' when the phone is sleeping. Make sure also check under setting/ notification management, to enable those apps......

Getting rid of heads up notifications while phone is unlocked?

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Snapchat and Whatsapp are examples. What sort of notification settings do you have? Are you silencing any apps?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery

It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.

I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?

AOD not really that much better

Still not getting all my notifications to appear on AOD. I've only seen texts, missed call, and weirdly and Imgur notification on there. No Gmail, Snapchat, or Google Voice. I thought this was updated like the Note 7 to show every notification icon in AOD now. Are there some settings I'm missing? Or is there a better alternative to the native AOD?

It works for me. Shows notifications for every app and I didn't change any settings. Did you simply take an OTA or did you do a clean update?

Just took the OTA and kept on goin. I'm also getting double text notifications sometimes too which is weird. You say you get all icons when you get a noti? Even Snapchat, Gmail, and Hangouts?

Yes, I remember getting them with all, except hangouts because I don't use it. I actually turned the AOD off because I was getting battery drain since nougat, but that didn't help

Make sure in Settings - Notifications, you have the apps turn ON that you want to get notifications for.
I have noticed in the 2 factory resets I've done since the Android 7.0 update, Notification access is defaulted OFF for Always On Display. To check this, make sure AOD is turned on first, then go into Settings - Lock screen and security - Other security settings - Notification access to make sure AOD is set to ON.

I was actually able to figure it out last night. I had some wonky settings in Settings > Lock Screen & Security > Notifications on Lock Screen. Had a lot of random apps with notifications on like Barcode Scanner, a Ruler app, and Rear-Facing Camera. But apps that you would expect to get notifications from like Gmail, Sanpchat, and Hangouts were un-checked. Kind of a misleading name for these toggles as they are not controlling whats on the lock screen, but on the off screen.

App optimisation?

If you go into your battery stats there is an option to select certain apps you want to optimise/ put to sleep! Does anyone know if you will still receive notifications from apps that are in sleep mode? Iam guessing notifications would NOT come through?

I had this problem on my S7 edge a few months ago : I didn't recieve Whatsapp notifications when this app was "optimised" in battery settings.
However, I don't have the problem on my S8

Just so iam clear! On your S8 you have whatsapp in sleep/ optimisation mode and still receive notifications?

I just re-check, and yes. I recieve my whatsapp notification on my S8, and yet the app is in the list of the optimized apps. It goes in sleep mode after 3 days of inactivity like every other app, and yet I still recieve notification at the right time.
I can't explain how, because on my former S7 edge I had to remove it from the list of the optimized apps to keep recieving notifications. Maybe Touchwiz made progress
Btw, I'm using SM-G950F (AQDD)

It depends on how an app triggers notifications. Some apps still use non-push notifications that require them to refresh in the background. Most apps, however, receive notifications via a listening port that's built into Android. Consequently, background app refresh can be disabled and the separate notification service still functions.

Just because your Whats app is under the list for optimisation, doesn't mean is actually optimised as yet. For an app to be optimised and put to sleep, has to be not used 3 days in a row. Every time you check it, you restart the process.

Battery manager stuff ?

Hello everyone !
I just bought a Redmi Note 7. This morning my alarm didn't ring for some reason. I use the Google Clock. Also I can't make "OK Google" working when my screen is off. Some notifications take time to be showed. Etc.
Is the battery manager thing responsible of all those "bugs" ? Is that a weird "Greenify" ?
Since I didn't unlock the device and install a real Android ROM, any of you have a solution for alarm so my boss don't kill me tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help guys.

Settings > manage apps > clock (or any other app) > battery saver > no restrictions.
Also enable autostart in the same settings menue.
And avoid stuff like naptime, if you are not experienced with such things.

Hi there. It's probably a MIUI battery saver thing. So for all of your mission critical apps whose notifications you want to receive instantly, do this:
1) Go to app settings for the app in question
2) Toggle on Auto start
3) Turn on all notifications that you want to receive
4) Set the battery saving setting to no restrictions.
If you notice that an app still gets closed in the background for some reason, add another step:
5) Open the app and then open the Recent apps screen. Tap and hold the preview image of the app in question. Tap the first icon (lock app). This will lock it in memory and only you will be able to manually swipe it off and clear it from memory. Tapping the Close All button in Recents will not close the locked apps.
After I had done this with the apps that I wanted real time notifications from (or battery tracking apps that I wanted always running in the background), I've never had any issues with late or missed notifications.
I don't use 'OK Google' to wake the phone. I'm not sure if this is possible with all newer phones or only with specific SoCs.

Thanks for your answers. That was that battery saver options. Have a nice weekend.
