The Messenger+Skype Mess

Hey guys!
I dont know why, but recently my Skype notifications start working as it should since ever, and I noticed something stupid:
Since MS is killing Messenger and putting it "inside" Skype, every message I receive at Messenger, I receive at Skype too. So one message generates too notifications. Skype for WP8 let you disable toast notification for messenger messages, but it still show live tiles.
And the contacts in Skype are a mess too.
Anyone noticed this behavior? What will MS do about the Message Hub?

Dismissing Notifications

When I get app notifications for things like text messages or emails, entering the app directly and opening the corresponding message does not dismiss the notifications from the notification center. Is this normal behavior? I thought Lollipop did, but I could be mistaken. I either have to swipe the notification off, or click it to open the app to dismiss it.
I noticed the same, found it irritating and I got way to many notifications from all sorts of stuff, App's and OS. Eventually I disabled all notifications. The phone already makes a sound so i don't need any visuals.
I am getting the same issue, any fix/ workaround to get rid of the notifications?
In my case this seems to depend on the application. Whatsapp does this annoying thing, while Gmail and Inbox do not. I think that most apps are not yet updated properly for Marshmallow support.

Notifications, some do not appear

Hey guys
Somehow my missed calls, new text messages or also skype do not appear in the notifications, even though I did activate the skype notifications. I could not find any setting for the phone/text messages.
It works well for FB-messages, whats app and other apps.
Does anybody have an idea why?

Love the Pro 3 but notification sounds

So far I am loving this and I'm coming from the S7. Rooted and unlocked the bootloader yesterday but for the life of me cannot get notification sounds to work. Nine mail, hangouts, and bluemail do not make a noise. So far only facebook messenger and whatsapp make a noise on incoming messages.

I can't get hangouts to even appear in my notifications unless I open the app, and then I get hit with all the texts I received that it failed to notify me for. Google Opinion Rewards never notifies me either. I did the code *#*# and disabled background clean up, and in notification manager I have hangout enabled for everything, and in battery app, and recents window I disabled clean up, with no luck. Hoping it'll get fixed soon, but in the meantime it's frustrating.

Really? Funny because my S7 hangouts would always say no network and I would have to wait a few minutes for them to refresh. I figured out the sounds. it seems like the default tones didn't exist or something so after manually changing them it's working. I still cannot believe the quality of this phone, even the camera which isn't close to my S7 really is not that bad.
I did go in to the battery section and change skype, hangouts and my work email from closed with the app cleanup the phone has

Notification clearing delay

Hi!
Like a lot of people, I've had problems with push notifications which seem to have been at least partially solved by exempting specific apps from battery optimization. The other issue I'm seeing with notifications is that they are not cleared or have a long delay. For example, if I delete an email in gmail on my computer, the phone notification will take at least two minutes to clear. This sometimes happen in reverse - I'll delete/read an email on my phone, and the gmail web will still show the email as unread.
Also, if I get a notification from facebook, if I clear it on my computer it won't be cleared on the phone. This I suspect might be a Nova launcher problem, but I'm not sure as I've had so much trouble with notifications even before I switched to Nova.
Can anyone help sort out the notification clearing problems?
Anyone?
