Galaxy S8 notifcation problem afer update to Oreo - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi there.
My S8 today get update to Oreo and after I install that update I notice that there is something wrong with notification from some apps, Twitter to be specific. First, when I get notifications about new reply or like there was no sound, so I went to settings and there in app settings I manage to change that, but now every time when I send new tweet I get notifications about that (never happened before on oldest android versions), and when someone reply to me, the sound of notification are doubled. It's very annoying.
When I search on Google about that issue there is many topics about that, but any solution.
PS
Yes, i did factory reset after update - - that issue was before and is still after FR.

Same problem here. I have turned off all battery optimization but nothing helps. Started the moment Oreo was installed. I have received one Oreo update but it made no difference

The same thing happens to me. It randomly skips push notifications from the people I follow. Very unpleasant with my S8 in that aspect. The system sleeps to the SI or SI application even though you include it in the app without supervision. I've tried everything and nothing works...

Blank Call Answer Screen

Every once in a while for the past month or two, when I receive a call, my X10 will vibrate and ring as normal, but the screen will be blank rather than presenting the caller ID and call answer buttons. Sometimes when this happens, it'll eventually show up, while other times I simply get a FC message regarding the phone app.
In the time since I first experienced this, I have upgraded my stock 014 firmware to 016 through SEUS via Rogers, and then this past weekend I rooted the phone to R2BA023, and yet it still happens.
I have disabled both Facebook and Twitter sync in the settings panel, and have tried changing my ringtone all to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something similar, and maybe know what may be causing this?
I'm going to attempt some testing with various 3rd-party apps uninstalled, to see if it may be some sort of conflict, but I find it odd this has persisted through firmware updates and complete OS re-install (root).
Hi - Yes I've had this happen too.. not very often, but seems to be when I'm in the middle of doing something else.. Think it was when I was in Handscent SMS when it happened today.
Same it happen to me, i just beat on it until it blink up the damn slide. Which 9 out of 10, i will miss the call thanks to the stupid slide still being as slow as before the update.
OT (so apologies)... my swipe is super fast since the update... Are you running any task killers or anything.. (I'm not...)..

I generally do, but it still pisses me off. I have a feeling it's just SE's version of the phone app, but I can't be sure.
I'm using Phonebook 2.0 as an alternate contact manager, but calls still come through the default phone app, and I'm not sure if there's a way to change that without a custom ROM.

Yeah have noticed this issue sometimes. I am on generic R2BA020 uk firmware.
When the phone rings, the screen lights up but I cant answer cause the screen is a Blank blue screen for like 5-8 seconds. After which the slider pops up allowing me to answer. Never had this problem on the older firmware.
I dont use a task killer or handcent.

Problem with app updates

Since i have updated to Mango, i receive no notification whatsoever when entering the Martkeplace if there are any updates for the apps that i have installed, so i have to manually check the version of each app installed+mplace to see if there is a newer one...anyone having a similar issue ?
Never heard of this issue before
No problems here, allways get Update messages.
After updating to Mango, I noticed that the updates were no longer coming through the Marketplace tile. However, this has started working again after the 8107 update.
Thanks for the feedback guys, looks like i'm alone in this one ( i have 8107 already )
I have already reset my phone so i guess i'm out of options
@muggs_ro
I had the same problem. No Marketplace's live tiles notifications. But after few weeks, suddenly everything srart working. So maybe you have to wait. (It was with Vodafeone-DE firmware)

It worked for me after mango and then suddenly stopped working. On vacations I deactivated my data plan and I never got the app upate notifications via WiFi. However, I reactivated my mobile data plan today and I got the notification of 19 updates immediately!
I have a Vodafone DE branded device with 7740 update.
Sent from my LG-E900 using Board Express
Hmm so there seems to be a bit of hope though, i'll consider re-flashing if there is no improvement in the next weeks..
same here
but u can update the app if you find it in the marketplace... hope this will be fixed, but when i see how lg is working on it's updates i don't think it's gonna happen until there is a major update (tango maybe). they are doing the same thing with the wifi tethering update (i busted my ass trying to get this but i can't). seems like lg doesnt care about it's users very much...
@muggs_ro
i left the 3g internet on for the night and this morning i got a notification about 28 updates. apps updated with no problems. check if it helps...
All of a sudden without doing anything i started to receive update notifications since yestarday...weirdest bug ever

OmniRom system updates checks stop when Viber is installed !

Hello,
After trying several ROMs, I'm now a happy OmniROM user. One of the features I really appreciate are the nigthly builds. The system automatically checks for them and it displays a notification icon each time a new build is available. But, hey, I'm not going to tell you what you already know
I noticed that for some reason the update notification function stops working and I can now associate this to the presence of the Viber application on my device. And now I decided to share my findings and to eventually understand the background of this problem.
Here is the typical scenario I found myself in several times this last year:
- some friend of mine asks me to contact him on Viber; this application comes-in handy when talking with people abroad
- I install Viber, only to notice the next day that I no longer have the new updates notification
- I eventually uninstall Viber, as it's really discharging my battery trying to reconnect my phone (the GSM signal quality is very poor at my work, even if it's in the center of a major french town)
- after manually downloading & installing the current nightly build, the update notification icon comes back next day.
In addition, I had the idea to manually check for system updates. When the Viber application is present on the system, this function won't find any new updates!
Am I the only one facing this problem?
Cheers,

Random restarts after updated to nougat :/

So i updated a few days ago to nougat, everyhing went fine now as of yesterday my edge suddenly random reboots for no reason? i dont get it.. i have tryied clear cache from partition and even did a factory reset still nothing.... what can the problem be ? it never restarted before the update so clearly something messed up my phone after that but how..... i hate this any fix for this?

Do you use stock/unrooted?
Do you use whatsapp gifs?

Hi,

Thanks
Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.

Had that issue with my Note edge after updating FW to stock 6.01, many threads in Note edge forum report the same. Samsung gave a s..,,,t , never fixed it.
Maybe Whatsapp? Or SIM card?
I had the same issue, but worse. Between 15 and 30 random reboots a day, during calls, during emails, during sleep. Often (and every morning) I picked up the phone and it said it had a reboot, therefore no finger print wakeup etc. After a ton of googling, Wipe Cache, Safe Mode and all that (changed nothing) I ordered a new SD card. Changed nothing. Then I did a factory reset, re-installed all apps via Google backup. Changed nothing. Meanwhile Samsung customer support tells me to send in the phone, may take a few weeks - haha. So I did another factory reset, but then only re-installed the most necessary apps (although I don't want to have a flagship phone and not install whatever i want). Changed nothing. Still 15-30 reboots a day. Plus a seriously bad battery life, maybe because of the reboots, or nougat, or both. Enough for me, and all the more reason not to buy S8. I ordered a Mate9Pro, which is not as gorgeous as the S8, but at least big, 6GB RAM, fastest chip around and has a 4000mAH battery. However, after re-installing all my apps on Mate9Pro and putting my SIM in there (runs smoothly), Whatsapp (without the SIM) kept popping up on the S7. So I uninstalled. While I was at it, I also uninstalled airline apps (Air Berlin, easyjet, Lufthansa, Miles&More - don't ask why). Since then, no reboot on the S7 (8 hours so far, but that's the longest period since the Nougat update). So the maximum damage has been done (had to buy a new phone), and now the old phone works just fine. Maybe it was Whatsapp, or another app causing it to fail? Or the SIM card? I have no clue but maybe someone with some knowledge can make sense of it?
I was having the same problem after nougat update. I noticed that after the reboot I would have notifications from specific apps like airasia app , I shut off notifications from almost all except a few important apps. Reboot no. has drastically reduced since then.

Notifications are cut short / completely broken on some apps.

First time poster here, I recently bought a Galaxy S8 after I became tired of my iPhone and boy, do I love this phone. I have never had so much fun with a mobile device.
My phone is only a week old and was working perfectly until a couple of days ago - one evening, I was messaging a friend on Discord when suddenly the notifications started getting cut short and not showing up in the AOD/notification centre. My notification sound would only play for like a split second, the Discord logo would appear in the status bar for a split second, and then the sound would suddenly stop and the notification was not able to be found in my notification centre. Discord had not received an update, and I had not (knowingly) changed any settings, so I had no idea what had caused it.
Now, I get this with Google Allo as well. And Telegram. And my Twitter DM notifications have straight up stopped working, they don't even make a sound or appear for a split second. I have no idea what has caused this, I've tried reinstalling all of these apps, force stopping them, ensuring that they are not put to sleep in the device manager, etc...but nothing seems to be working. It seems to be getting worse and worse, as initially I only encountered this issue with Discord, but now it's with all of these apps - Snapchat, WhatsApp and Messages are now the only apps on which I receive notifications reliably (for now).
I posted a thread on the /r/galaxys8 subreddit discussing this and found that other users shared the same issue, and even found another thread posted by somebody having the same issues with Google Allo, but nobody has a solution. Is there anything that you guys can recommend? I'm willing to try anything, I'm just extremely hesitant to factory reset my phone as I've finally got it set up how I want it and I really don't want to have to start over.
Thanks!
