My Evo Shift frequently does not make a noise or vibrate when I receive texts.
I checked the settings, and even send test texts from other phones.
Sometimes it rings/vinbrates, sometimes it doesn't.
Anyone else experiencing the same issues?
Is there a fix?
Thanks.
FYI: I did a search of titles under "texts" and "notifications" and got zero results.
Odd question: did you choose to do the GVoice integration with your account? I noticed when I did the integration that text messages were interrupted by Google Voice and not sent directly to my phone. I fixed it by checking a box that said send text to the phone or something along those lines in my GVoice settings. I only found out that was happening because I had their app on my phone still. Otherwise I would not have received any notification either.

Thanks for the repsonse.
No, I did not set up Gvoice Integration.
I've noticed that sometimes if I have the messaging app open when I lock my phone it won't notify me. pretty annoying. Not sure if it's the same problem on your end but mine has done it on every Sense ROM I've tried. I haven't ran any AOSP long enough to notice if they do it as well.
My wife has been complaining of this lately. Myself I haven't had it happen to me, but I use Handcent.
I have the same problem. I have GV installed, and do not get any sound/vibrate when receiving texts. This is a also a problem with voicemails, as i get a text saying to call a number. When i call it tells me to setup my voicemail (its already setup). If i dial 1 from dialer, it goes to voicemail per usual. Is GV causing these problems? - thanks - Viperspike
Wow. I don't even get voicemails. I switched to PF something that is a visual voicemail because my wife was pissed as hell I "ignored" 3 calls. They never even showed up until i called the voicemail number. Same issue with texts.... Anyone have any ideas?

Mine does the same exact thing...I've gotten into the habit of going to the home screen and its hasn't missed a message notification yet...I hope that helps you OP.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Try using handcent or upgrade to GB 2.3.4 the messaging app in 2.3.4 is a lot better especially with notifications.
So I've recently started having a couple issues with my AT&T S8 Plus. I've already performed a factory reset once and wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues or has ideas.
1. When sending text messages I get a never ending spinning wheel next to the message that it is sending even once the recipient gets it. I seem to have to reboot the device to fix it. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm on wifi or LTE.
2. Badges have been all over the board. I'll have a badge for 8 emails on my home screen and will delete the emails but the badge doesn't go away like it used to. Likewise sometimes I'm getting emails and a notification but no badge. I have to clear the badge manually. This has also happened on the phone app.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Same here with s8+ about badges. Any solution?

Same here as well and plus+ for anyone who could find a solution to this very annoying problem. Tried almost everything.
Disabled Badge Provider for now.
you can long-press an icon and remove the badge

didnt read the whole post, my apologies
I'm having the same issue with badges, but also not getting notifications at all from some apps, including no badges. This seemed to start at some point over the weekend.
just cleared badge providers data from app manager. Seems like its ok for now.
Same is happening to me. Only the last week where WhatsApp and email badges not clearing when messages read. Perhaps a bug has crept in since the recent update.
So annoying
Same prob here with badges not disappearing and messages app status is spinning although message has been sent and received and replied to...Started little over a week ago I guess...Help please...This is killing my OCD.
I am having the exact same issue, for the second time. This started happening about two weeks ago, and it lasted for about two days. Just as I was about to give in and reset the phone, it cleared up on it's own. Texts showed sent right away and badge counts stayed correct. Then it started again two days ago. Totally random. But now, new symptom: apps that were open about the time the issue started, opened by themselves again early this morning. I have NO clue whats happening.

Same with mine. Tried switching themes back to stock which seemed to work for a while now it's doing it again. Such a pain since you have no idea if your msg sent or if it's just the phone acting up. I'm now wondering if it's part of there new battery optimization?
oh man im glad im not the only one with texting issues. its so freaking annoying. i did a hard reset today praying it would fix it, plot twist it didnt. its only the stock app tho. i was running the google app and today that decided it wouldnt recieve any texts out of the blue. im trying to find a way to uninstall or disable the stock app..
Does yours also make duplicate texts?
Samsung Badge timeout is broken
This is happening to me as well. Example WnatsApp or any other app that has a badge for unread notifications or alerts stays that way even after the messages and notifications are read. What works in my case is to keep the App open for about 10 secs or so AFTER the mails/messages etc are read. If it is a notification, just opening the notification does not work. I have to manually open and click on the individual notifications for Samsung to register that as a read. This was the case from the day I purchased the device and has remained the same ever since. Frustrating in the extreme.
Since we're all complaining... me too! Somehow, the latest update has managed to cause a clustermuck to the most basic and useful features. Since I installed it on my S8 last week, my email and whatsapp badges have disappeared so I now need to open the bloody app to see if I have messages.
Meanwhile, my email randomly shows a badge for "11" new emails. It occasionally clears only to reappear later.
Rolling back the update seems to be a royal ball-ache too. Any suggestions welcome.
Same issue here I have tried everything even have some other symptoms
Along with the same issues you're having I am also having issues with clicking on a notification it disappearing and nothing happening and hours later after setting my phone down and coming back to it trying to do something else on it then all of a sudden of the notification pops up and those badges are really making me mad when they don't disappear I tried disabling them couple hours or next day they come back I really like my phone but I'm starting to hate those badges
Hi all
I have searched everywhere and I can't find anybody else with this issue... I surely can't be the only one...?
Since updating my Nexus 6P to Oreo I appear to have some apps not show a notification icon or anything in my notification drop down menu. My phone will vibrate as normal but my screen will not show any notifications...
This happens for Outlook (I will receive a normal notification and email preview on my Huawei watch running 2.0 but nothing at all on phone apart from its vibration), FotMob (a goal alert service if anyone is unfamiliar with it) and even push notifications on Facebook (to name a few). WhatsApp and text messages, for example, are working as normal.
I have reset all my notification and permissions settings TNA and even uninstalled and reinstalled the troublesome apps. Same result
Is this just apps not being fully supported for 8.0 or is this a different issue?
I really don't want to resort to a factory reset...
Thanks in advance
The most important thing i hate about Oreo .. is that Power notification control is missing the is so important for me!!

How were the apps installed? If you restored them through Titanium Backup, the device id for GCM push notifications will be wrong.
Uninstall, clear cache, then install the app from the play store.
Hi krs360
The apps were installed through play store. I am running fully stock, unrooted Android 8.0
Thanks
I have the same problem. Gmail is set to blink the notification light - but it doesn't! Argh!

There is something sketchy about oreo notification. Sometimes the LED simply doesn't blink at all , sometimes it simply blink very very slow.
Aquamail works fine
Gmail also doesn't pop up with a notification when the screen is off. But aqua mail does, and the notification light also works.
I think I found the answer to this. Basically it's a change in the SDK that requires the app author to fix. (I know, I just discovered the same problem in apps I wrote.)

Nothing quite so heartbreaking than to find a singular post/thread on the internet from someone having the same issue as you, only to discover that no solution has been posted and that it's old.
For what it's worth, having the same exact issue. Phone updated OTA a few weeks ago, and at first I was having the battery drain issue but that seemed to get fixed during the patch update, but now I've noticed that Outlook Calendar reminders, as well as Facebook Messenger App Notifications (new messages) no longer make a sound and/or show up as a notification on my phone. This is extremely annoying/difficult especially with Outlook as I have a really terrible time keeping things straight or organized, so I rely pretty heavily on the calendar reminders I set in it for daily/weekly/monthly things.
I could be wrong but I think it's related to notification lights.I wasn't getting anything until I turned it on and suddenly I was.
Hi,
Has anyone come across the solution for this issue? I have had it for over a month now and I really don't understand what the issue could be.
same issue with OREO (ZUK Z2 PRO)
also cannot edit permissions because it doesn't handle a device with plenty apps installed (+800) it hangs and crash / go back to main menu without letting you edit anything in options
On Friday, I installed an update on my stock V20 on Sprint. Since then, I get text notifications sometimes, but not always. I can't seem to pinpoint it. Not specific to certain contracts, not specific to SMS vs MMS (group).
The app icon shows the unread messages. But there's no notification tone/vibration or even an icon in the notification bar.
I have rebooted phone (as well as watch). I have cleared cache on messaging app.
Anyone else experiencing this or have in the past?
I am having the same exact problem!!! It is SO frustrating. No sound or icon in notification bar, just the number by the messages app button. This is happening all the time.

Did it just start with the recent update? I had ZERO issues prior. And it's not even consistent. Sometimes works fine. Other times I'm getting a text from my wife, then another, angry, one 15 minutes later for not responding ?
Problem solved!

I backed up my texts just to be safe but then went into the play store and to the Android messages app. I hut uninstall and it asked if I wanted to uninstall all updates, I hit yes. Since then my notifications seem to be working ?! Hope this helps!

Didn't even think to check for an app update lol. I see there was one out there. Read some comments which reported same issue and then showed it was fixed after updating.
I just updated mine. So hopefully that just fixes it. If not I'll give your method a try. Thanks!
Update. Simple update of messaging app fixed issue. Doh
Hello Lads Looking for some advice and help if possible please.
I have a problem that I cant find an answer to. I have an S8 with facebook installed and I dont get a notification sound or a popup on the lock screen showing I have a notification? I do get a red number on the apk shortcut showing how many notifications I have.
I've deleted cache and data, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, logged in and out. changed settings within the apk and on my desktop facebook within my browser. still nothing. Ive tried default facebook sound and custom facebook sound and still get nothing.
I need to get this working as I use it daily and Im missing out on some important group messages
Is it a S8 problem or a facebook problem. Phone on latest firmware (EE) and latest facebook apk installed
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you.
Hey did you find a fix?
No Pal still the same problem. No notification sounds , no notification icon on lock screen although I get the red 1 or another number depending on how many new notications I have on facebook apk shortcut, But thats it. NO sounds. Uninstalled reinstalled, cleared data and cache, Logged in an out , restarted phone. checked all settings on desktop
Ah well cheers for the reply mate, been through all those steps myself too. Here's hoping they actually fix this in an update!
I am having the same issues. Not much help but you are not alone.
still no fix for this.? Can anyone help?
Same problem
I'm having this same problem on my S8+. It's super annoying. No sounds, no pop up notifications, just the little red badge number on the app icon to let me know there are notifications. I've done all of the stuff you guys have done. Has anyone seen a way to fix this yet?
No fix yet hopefully when we get oreo it wlll sort it?
Have you attempted to install an older version of Facebook. Maybe it's the Apk itself and not your phone. A recent update probably caused a bug.
Here is what I recommend
Uninstall your current Facebook app
Download and install this version of Facebook
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/faceb...1-0-0-44-205-4-android-apk-download/download/
If not then try to download the latest beta.
Tell me if it solved your issue.

Uninstall Facebook? ?
In all seriousness the Facebook is a bloated battery hogging mobile privacy violation. There are several 3rd party apps that do a great job at Facebook while being efficient and not beaming your every move to Facebook hq for ad analysis
Dont think its the apk as it hasnt worked for months and there have been numerous updates to facebook , ive installed reinstalled etc loads of times but Ill try again later, Thanks on way out
