Oreo Notifications....... - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Has anyone else experienced sporadic notifications since updating to 8.1? Unrooted, and ever since the update, my notifications will only vibrate when the screen is off, but will go audible if the screens on.... or ill get a few hours of normal functionality, then back to whatever it wants to do... Ill get delayed text notifications or even doubling them up. Ive never had this issue before. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

I have the same issue. Orea 8.1 unrooted.

Have you tried removing the apps that need immediate notifications from battery optimization? Oreo is more aggressive stopping the background activity of apps than Nougat was. it's an intentional battery saving feature.

I've noticed this too, and literally just came on XDA to post this same question!!
It seems to take away notification sounds for most apps until I restart the phone. Based on the timing, maybe it has to do with going into a deeper sleep mode or something. Seems more like a glitch than a feature to me, since the notifications don't come back until I restart.
I'll try the battery optimization thing mentioned above, but I don't want WhatsApp draining my battery.

Good tip, Thanks. I was unaware they automatically optimized the apps for battery in the update. what a pain in the a$$. Ive changed the setting for messenger and telegram, Ill report back if i see an improvement.

Hmmm. I changed my battery optimization do exclude Google Voice and Android Messages... it worked for a small amount of time, now I just get vibration, but no sound for notifications.
Oreo 8.1 release.

I was using Nova Launcher when I had this issue. I switched to the default launcher and haven't had the issue since.

Screen On

I can't seem to pinpoint any sort of pattern but from time to time my phone will just be on even after I have put it to sleep and put it in my pocket. Obviously my concern here is it's wasting the battery without me even using it. Anyone experiencing similar problems, or have any suggestions?
*edit* I managed to post this in the wrong forum I meant to post in General can someone move it?
Same thing i would keep my phone on the table and it turns on randomly..
You wouldn't happen to be running Handcent SMS would you?
I have this problem when I am charging it, I will come back to find that my screen is on.

In the settings - applications - development is the stay awake button checked? If so that may fix your problem, mine however does the same and it is not checked so.
I am aiming towards Handcent SMS being the culprit I just need to test a few things.
Still leaning towards Handcent SMS. Anyone with the problem running the fingerprint recognition, wondering if that may be affecting it also?
Looks like Handcent was causing my issue at this time. To fix you go into Hancent settings - notifications - popup settings - uncheck Screen on for popup. Will report back if I find out another app is causing same problem.

Do Not Disturb not following Automatic Rules

Anyone else notice this? I set the DND automatic rules to Alarms Only from 10pm to 6am, Sundays through Thursdays. The phone will automatically turn on DND at 10pm, but for some reason it never switches off at 6am. Once I notice, I can manually turn it off but that defeats the purpose of having an automatic rule in place. I've noticed this on both the March and April updates, but I'm pretty sure it worked properly before that.

I am having the same problem, did you ever find a solution?
I noticed this the other day on my 6P. It works properly in Safe Mode (you can tell when you adjust the volume control as it displays the rule name instead of the generic 'until you cancel it'). This means some app I had installed was messing with it.
I tried deleting a lot of apps but none made a difference. I ended up doing a factory reset and all is well. I have reinstalled almost all of my apps and it is still working. The only ones I have yet to install that deal with notifications are Tasker, and DLink and Samsung camera apps. Yet I deleted them before the reset and it didn't change anything.
Previous to me noticing this, I had set up a Tasker profile to read my notifications to me; in this case all notifications. I have a feeling this may have broken something (Android is so brittle), but odd that the behavior persisted after disabling Tasker (and even uninstalling it).

No, I think it just fixed itself at some point. I am Having the same issue again on my new phone (Xperia XZ), so I'll post here if I figure it out.
Oops I just posted the same question before finding this thread. Having the same problem on my 6P which was upgraded from M to N. I have a 5X too that I started fresh on N (stock image flash) and it works fine on that one, just not on my 6P. Not sure if it's the upgrade M to N or specific to the 6P.
I tried deleting the rule and re-creating it but it doesn't help.
(if a mod could please merge the 2 threads)

I have this same issue. I had it on the Pure Nexus ROM too. Now I'm on stock 7.1.1 and the DND still doesn't turn off when it's supposed to. Annoying AF.
Not sure what we can do about it, I'm thinking not use the rules and instead use an automation app to do it, the likes of MacroDroid, Automagic, etc. Don't know if such apps would require root to turn DND on/off though.
It happens since marshmallow, sometimes a reboot fix the issue and sometime you have to turn off the automatics rule manually turn on and off the DND and reboot.
I get this issue when DND is set on automatic rules and i change it to on or off manually (only sometimes).
Interesting, I never had a problem on M, it only started for me after I upgraded to N.
I didn't have this problem after I upgraded to N, it was the October security update when the problem started for me.
There's a bug filed it seems. Hopefully Google will do something about it. Please vote for the issue to be fixed.

Are you using Android Wear? It seams, that after today's update AW app (version 2.0.0.138705214), problem with DND mode went away. Look at Apkmirror for that version, and please report, if it solve this problem you as well.

I do use Android Wear and I got the update to 2.0.0.138705214 this afternoon. I will report tomorrow morning if the Automatic rule turned itself off. Thanks for the tip.
It seems that the latest Android Wear fixed the issue for me, at least for now. I hope it sticks. Yes, I use Wear.

Broken Status Bar

Anyone else notice once the phone has been on for long enough, you can no longer pull down the status bar to see notifications? Reboot fixes it. Software is 100% stock.

How long is "long enough"? When I was on call last week I had the phone on for 7 days straight and never had that problem. Using Nova Launcher...not sure if that makes a difference??

Maybe? I'm using mifavor launcher, but doesn't seem to matter what app I'm in. I'll try Google Now launcher. Not sure what's causing it, but I'll update if/when I figure it out.
Think I figured it out. I had notification shade disabled on lock screen. Enabling that and haven't had the issue since. This makes me think this feature is broken.

Lag 'fix' on nougat 4.0.1

OK so after updating like a lot of people I'm getting great battery and the phone is really fast. I only had one problem which was lag in the notification area. So I factory reset my phone 3 times wiped cache went through every app and finally found what was causing my laggy notification toggles. Accessabitliy. Greenify was turned on even when it was turned off. Strange but take a look if you have any lag at all. Turn off everything in accessibility and device administrators. This could be one of major reason half the people are complaining and the rest aren't. PS I'm aware accessibility usually creates some kind of lag but this was very noticeable and ruining the whole experience.
Also for those who have missing widgets it's because you have aggressive doze turned on for them. Disable it for those apps and they won't disappear on reboot.
Notification area lag persists in my case as well. Unfortunately.
I had notification lag when I had lux dash installed. Sad, but had to uninstall. I have greenify with accessibility enabled but no notifciation lag with just that.

This has been a known issue for a long time unfortunately.

App Battery Optimization resetting after reboot?

There are are a few apps that I set to be "NOT OPTIMIZED" such as wear OS and Nest. Lately I've noticed that apps that are set to this setting are reset back to OPTIMIZED after a reboot of the phone. I tried to see if this behavior is on my Pixel XL 2 but the settings stick after a reboot on the Pixel. Is anyone else experiencing this on their OnePlus?
Yes, I am experiencing this as well. I thought I was going crazy. I use the Nine email app for work and after every reset it tells me that the app is not set to be used the background for syncing. I just set a bunch of apps to not optimize to be sure, and upon restart my 'not optimized' list is empty.

I'm having the same issue with Wear OS. Every reboot I have to set to Not Optimize
I posted in the OnePlus community and support contacted me to get a log file but it's 69mb. They asked me to email but i can't. I'm waiting for their response.

They know about this. It's been happening on all of my OP phones. It's really irritating.
All of your op phones meaning previous generations of OnePlus phones? If so that doesn't bode well for a fix.

Yes, 5t and 5 as well. Problem here is for me and a lot of other people, they are using apps like Plus Beat to get notifications since OP idiotically removed the notification light, and those apps need optimization turned off to work. It's not a hard fix to go unselect it again but it shouldnt be happening regardless.
This is now happening WITHOUT rebooting the phone. How do we fix this?? Plus beat us constantly being overwritten to optimize battery when I turned it off.

Same here
Same thing here. I did find that the reset happens after reboot. If you restart and go straight to battery to look at your app optimization, everything will be fine. Then wait 30 seconds or so and everything will have been reset to "Optimize." Super frustrating.

It is a know issue and Oneplus has this set this way on purpose. We can only help enough of us complained to Oneplus and this gets changed on some future update.
Battery optimization see more list on free software download site it will open your device and see the the problem.
This issue and the microphone/ audio issue pushed me back to my Pixel. Add to that a weird issue with tune in radio where it keeps thinking it's offline when you launch it initially and takes a good 10 minutes to come back online and all that was a deal breaker. Factory reset did not fix these issues.

Seems fix turning off folowing.
I disable "deep optimization and" "sleep standby optimization"
Settings --> battery --> battery optimization --> 3 dots on upper right and then "Advanced Optimization"

Hmm... I went to try this out, but I don't have the 3 dots to get to the deep optimization and sleep standby optimization settings. I have the T-Mobile version of the phone.
This is incredible irritating! I rely on being able to get emails from work, and I keep finding the optimize setting reverted from "Don't Optimize" to "Optimize". At first I was blaming the app but have now come to the conclusion that it's the implementation of the Battery Optimization on this phone. Reboots definitely revert the setting, but I also suspect it gets reverted after some time without a reboot. I haven't really been keeping track until recently to confirm this.
