Not to state the obvious, but have you checked Settings > Sounds & Notifications to ensure that notifications isn't unticked?

I am using SPB phone suite which has profiles.
I checked notifications is ticked.

Is it just that the notification tone isn't playing?
There was a bug with some of Dutty's roms that if your notification tone wasn't set to the default one, it wouldn't sound at all.

Yes no notification alarm or pop up.
So I have an appointment for 10 am and I put a 30 min reminder. I will get no reminder, the profile will switch to meeting mode automatically but no popup reminder or sound notification.
Im using the stock ROM.

Some one please help.

I had the same problem few months ago but after about a week time it started to work again itself. I don't know why it didn't work. Since then the problem didn't appear any more.
I suspected S2U2 but I don't know if it was the reason.

I have not made any changes except uninstalling SPB imageer.

Not sure what culprit is, but you could backup your contacts/emails etc, do a hard reset and see if problem still exists on bare rom. If it doesn't, install one software at a time, test if it works, then proceed with next app until you find possible culprit

I noticed that changing the patterns in calendar from "occur once" to any more complicated, like "from Tuesday to Friday" i.e. might be responsible for the problem. Few months ago I started to create more advanced remainders in calendar and after couple days it stopped remind me of any event.
I didn't notice where the problem was, because the problem didn't appear instantly but after 2-3 days.
Few days ago I tried to edit patterns and two days later the problem came back again.
Could someone investigate this issue on his own HTC to confirm the source of the problem, please.
Is there any update for calendar?
PS. Sorry for my poor English.

Well after 2 days it went back to working by it self.
Its working fine now.
I do have 1 complex reminder. Basically it says remind me every 24th of the month for the coming 3 years
But thats still working normally.

It stopped again. I have not modified anything.

I had that problem too. The free app pmClean fixed it for me:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pmclean-v1-06.html
You can set it to automatically repair the Notification Queue every day, which seems to fix the problem with reminders not triggering

alltruism,
I have Memmaid and used to find duplicates/dangling/expired/invalid and it found nothing.
Ill try the app you mentioned and hopfully it fixes it.

Ok in downloaded and installed PMclean v1.07 and i cleaned notifications. The first time I had like 27 and then after the cleaning it said 42. Then further cleaning just locked it at 42. Arent the numbers supposed to come down?
Anyway, I restarted and then tested. It worked, I tested again and it worked.
Wow thanks a lot Alltruism,but how come my Memmaid could not pick up on those Notification Que anomalies?

Official ICS Firmwares - Bugs List

Hi
Use this thread to list bugs you have found in Stock Note ICS 'LPY' firmware, and work-arounds you have discovered for them.
Feel free to include bugs in Apps that don't work quite as intended in ICS but did work fine in GB.
Nigel

1) Facebook (uses ICS Sync Mechanism). Sync's ALL facebook friends and not just those already in contacts even when option to 'Sync with existing contacts' is selected. Result is a load of contacts with photo/name only where folks have not included contacts info in their FB profile. Solution is not to sync contacts with FB!! Not syncing means you don't get the contacts pics (the main reason why I want to sync). There are some 3rd party FB pic sync apps, but I have not tried any of these with ICS as yet.
2) Font size used for name of apps under icons for apps is bigger than in GB. This results in app names wrapping mid word where the same app name fitted on a single line in GB. This can result in the final 1 or more letters in the name of an app appearing on a second line under the icon. It looks ugly.
3) The 'Select Input Method' prompt appears as a notification under 'ongoing tasks' randomly.

Email widgets can fail to update, lose their assigned accounts and lose the option to switch accounts. The only fix for the first problem is to scroll rapidly down the email list to force an update, the assigned account can usually be reset on the widget, but occasionally the widgets get locked and have to be deleted and regenerated.
Also, not sure if this qualifies as a bug or change in behaviour, but the way audio output is dealt with when bluetooth audio devices disconnect has changed. Whereas in GB, switching off eg. a bluetooth headset would stop any streaming audio, with ICS the audio continues, but is switched to the Note speaker.

ICS is rather a large jump isn't it? We only have one build. You should make this specific to LPY if you want, but having it just be for ICS bugs isn't very specific or logical. It's like saying: Bugs for GB! That's A LOT of builds. If you want this thread to be useful, make it more specific.

Experiencing Random screen flickers and pixel salad. Resolves by resetting or lockscreen. Not sure if it's Kernel related like custom kernels experienced in GB roms i.e. franco kernel v9. pls help to shed light on this?

S Planner
I have found a bug in my ICS LPY S planner package. I use it with exchange and the status is not properly synced with Exchange:
Note-----------------------Exchange
========================
Free-----------------------Tentative
Tentative------------------Busy
Busy-----------------------Out of Office
Not nice...

When the phone is connected to car dock and kept in horizontal position, if you recieve a call, the phone app force closes and you cant answer it.
Solution: Keep the phone in vertical position in the dock!!

Hi
I got this while playing with the face unlock stuff after the initial update. I did a hard reset to get shot of any left over junk, and have not re-enabled the face unlock, and have not seen the pixel-fest since. I suspect it was not using face unlock rather than the hard reset that sorted.
Nigel

Bugs I have found so far :
Phone does not connect to computer via KIES.
Many bugs using original car dock - phone app closes when dialing, calls dropped when using Bluetooth - I did not try vertical mode yet
Phone randomly stops entering deep sleep mode , BetterBatteryStats lists a kernel wakelock called : l2_hsic . This does not impact battery time by much, but still annoying
Phone randomly reboots while screen is off - but I had this in gingerbread too
In call log , when I clicked a number it used to show me all the times that number called, now it does not.
Sometimes the phone forgets the personal ring tone assigned to a contact and uses default ring tone
... that's all I can think of right now, the good side is the ROM is MUCH FASTER in touchwiz and other apps..

To those with sleep issues, have you tried full wipe then reinstall Apps? I had issues with not sleeping and battery life, but since hard resetting, thee phone sleeps fine. Its not as painful to do this with ics since it will auto reinstall apps. (Configure backup and restore in settings before reset). Its supposed to backup app configs as well, but I found this did not work (many apps have their own mechanism to backup their config)

Currently irritated to death by the random reboots while in sleep. Sometimes 18 hours apart... Sometimes 18 minutes apart.

On LPY stock but rooted.
By "Pixel salad" you mean multi coloured horizontal lines filling the screen up?
I got this when I woke my phone up and was about to unlock it (pattern lock) when I received a call...
I decided to swipe answer to see if it still functioned and it did...

It appears when the keyboard is displayed so that you can change keyboard if you wish, as opposed to using long press in GB.

having frequently used apps moved to SD card may cause random reboot. nothing to do with 'screen off' but worth checking.

I have no complaint about ICS except that the battery life is abysmal and the audio hiccup all the time.
I am currently on LPY. Wondering if you guys have the same issues. The audio hiccup is the most annoying. Don't know how to describe it. It's like music skipping while playing. It happened even on zPlayer and Poweramp so it's not stock music player dependent. At first I thought that my sd card is failing but when I tried to play it on my PC, all the music files played normal without any hiccups.

In my case I cannot use skype and I keep getting this error message "you cannot be signed in at this time. Please try again later". So far I have tried clearing app data, force closing, reinstalling and installing modded and older versions of skype and no luck still. Skype is running just fine on my laptop.
I am on rooted LPY.

I use "voice talk" when driving and often launch it by double clicking the home button. However I notice that every 2nd or 3rd time i launch it, the microphone doesn't respond (the blue concentric circles indicating sound don't move). Clicking done makes it ask to try again and the microphone works normally.

Use the widget and adjust brightness to very low. Now Open stock browser and set there the brightness to automatic. Go to a app like Facebook, tapatalk and open a Page where you get directed to the browser to open it. Press home button now. Go to the widget and press synchronization button on or off doesn't matter now you will see the brightness button that was black to jump from alone to auto. I guess that's the automatization process of Samsung.

HELP - Notifications not coming through when screen is off

Hi everyone,
I've been having a very strange problem for a couple of days now. Whenever my phone's screen is off and the phone has been idle for some time, I don't receive notifications anymore. Facebook notifications don't work at all, no matter whether the phone is active or not, but I also don't get FB Messenger and WhatsApp notifications. Sometimes they come through as soon as I turn on the screen, and sometimes I only see them when I open the respective app. I didn't mess with app permissions, and I also have set each app to "important" in the notification settings. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I'm on WiFi or on mobile data.
Gmail, SMS and calls don't seem to be a problem, although I sometimes have a feeling that emails come through to my phone with a considerable delay, as compared to my Gmail inbox on my computer.
The strange thing is, when I had the phone all new, everything worked as it should and I received ALL notifications from EVERY app IMMEDIATELY when they came in. This issue with notifications no longer coming through started occurring a couple days ago after I had first flashed the Boeffla Kernel (though I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that.) So I went back to the stock kernel, but the problem was still there. Then I re-flashed my original Nandroid backup from when I had first flashed TWRP, in order to set the system back to "stock", wiped data and cache, re-installed every app (the critical ones, i.e. Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, via Play Store, and the non-critical ones via Titanium Backup), and the problem is still there. I've done this three times now, to no avail.
My phone is rooted and I have Xposed installed, I'm using SuperSU and a number of root apps such as 3c Toolbox, Le DPI Changer and Font Installer. 3c Toolbox is set to clear caches on every reboot. As for Xposed, I use only VibrateMode to change the notification slider from all/important/none to all/vibrate/none, and GravityBox to center the clock in the status bar and to set the volume buttons to skip tracks on long press. I also have Glimpse Notifications installed so that the screen lights up when a notification comes in.
The funny thing is, notifications not coming through is one of the reasons I switched to the OPT from the Huawei Mate 7, where this issue was due to power management settings by Huawei. Since I'm now back on the stock kernel and have also no power saving apps such as Greenify or Amplify enabled, I am really out of ideas as to why this happens. The next step is to flash a fully stock OOS 2.1.2 (my Nandroid backup is already rooted and with my Google account set up), wipe data and cache, and re-install every app again.
Does anyone here have any idea what the problem (and the solution to it) might be?
UPDATE: After I wrote the last sentence, I received two messages simultaneously, one from Messenger and one from WhatsApp. I was at home and on WiFi, and both coming in at the same time must mean that the phone receives push notifications in fixed intervals, since the sender of both messages was the same person and sent them consecutively, i.e. with at least a minute in-between. Now I am especially confused since a) they came through at all, even though the screen was off and the phone had been idle for at least 15 minutes, and b) they came through at the same time, which was definitely not the time when they had been sent.
The confusion is complete now ... any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The problem persists. Today for half a day I received all notifications, after that once again only when I turned on the screen or opened the respective app. WiFi all the time, no settings changed in between.
This really annoys me to no end. I don't own an expensive smartphone so it doesn't work as it should. I never had any troubles like this with my old Sony Xperia V. Then again it ate through a full battery in half a day ...

Are you sure you are not using any applications like greenify / amplify or powernap which would hibernate your applications ?

Yes. As I said, I reflashed my original (rooted but otherwise unaltered) Nandroid backup and then reinstalled all apps, and am not using anything that could interfere with apps receiving notifications.
The order in which notifications come through automatically vs. only when I activate the display or open the respective app also doesn't seem to follow any regularity ... sometimes it works as it should, sometimes it doesn't.
As for Facebook notifications, I somehow have a feeling this is a specific FB-related problem. But as for Messenger, WhatsApp and now also Instagram as I've noticed, it's all the same issue as described in my original post. The only exception really seems to be Gmail, which always notifies me of new emails.
EDIT: All these apps have unaltered permissions, i.e. are allowed to keep the phone awake, and all apps are set to "important" for notifications, so this doesn't seem to be the issue either.
EDIT 2: I also installed push notification fixer to see what interval is set for the GCM services, and it's set to 5 minutes on WiFi and 6 minutes on mobile data. So that also can't be the issue.
Could the screen not lighting up when a notification comes in have something to do with deep sleep, possibly? But then why does it work for Gmail???

I could suggest you one more thing. Its a shot in the dark .
Could you check "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" in you advanced Wi-Fi settings ?
If the above is not a problem then out of ideas buddy. As a last option you could clean flash by wiping everything and just install whatsapp and other apps in which you are facing a notification delay. If it works then there could be some other application interfering , it it doesn't then i am not sure what it could be.

Yeah, that's pretty much my last resort. Currently, I'm trying to see if it makes a difference whether I keep FB Messenger and WhatsApp "open" in the recent apps menu.

I could try that, you're right - I didn't yet because I didn't want to sacrifice battery life too much ... but I could give it a shot for at least one charging cycle and see what the effect is. Thanks!

i do remember reading some time ago that these intervals do not impact the battery life, but you could test for yourself just to be sure

So, currently most notifications are working again for me, for whatever reason. Facebook being the big exception, of course. Might have to do with keeping the apps opened in the multitasking overview. If that's what it takes, then fine ...

I've got a OPT for few day, i have same issue......anyone experience this problem? any solution? is it 2.1.2 problem?

Which app? Only Facebook, or other apps as well? For me it's working now, but I can't say why exactly. I use a number of tweaks on my phone (root, Xposed framework etc.) so I can't definitely say which of my apps cause issues and which fix them again.
As for Gmail, it appears that when there's already a notification for an email and a little later another one comes in, it won't play a sound or vibrate. That seems to be standard behaviour but I find it VERY annoying, even though I set Gmail to notify me on EACH incoming email.

despite suggesting a fix i seem to be experiencing the same problem as well. it happens on both wifi and mobile data so you cant blame any settings. my best guess would be its because of the latest update. gonna have to backup my data and revert back to the older firmware to solve this issue.

@vonotny have you found a solution? im experiencing the same problem after updating to 2.2.0

Not really, no. Mine are currently working again, after I re-flashed the stock system and set up everything again step-by-step. It's possible that some app or tweak or setting caused the issue, but I couldn't find out which one.

i suspected it could be because of restoring apps from titanium backup directly instead of downloading and installing them from the play store first, but even with that i still face the same problem. currently on oxyslim. come to think of it, could it be caused by the power tweaks? did you use them before when you faced the problem?

Same problem here on OOS3.0.1. Inbox and WhatsApp messages don't often come through until I turn on the screen. Completely stock. Didn't have the problem on CM13, I think. It's really annoying because I can miss a lot of important emails from work. Even put the apps I want in No Battery Optimization mode. No help really.

i have the same problem. I'm on OOS3.0.2 with Cyanoxy. Can anyone help?

Same problem here...
What the F?
This device is almost a year old and I still can't use it as PHONE. I am not asking for some fancy stuff, but fixing the gigantic bugs that are preventing me from even using this daily.

Fix for those willing to tweak the system: install the latest Boeffla kernel, it has an option to turn off doze.

I don't get notifications.

Hi guys, I have a big problem with ZTE Axon 7,
I got the chinese version with Google Launcher and I noticed that I'm not getting notifications properly. It's really annoying , for example when I get an email on Gmail I get the pop up and hear the sound, that I got an email, but when I receive a message on Messenger, or on Viber, the phone do nothing, it's like it's in deep sleep or I don't know, somehow Gmail brings me the notifications but messenger and other applications not, even facebook missing to notify me sometimes that I got a post on my wall or someone replied on my comment.
Everytime I have to reopen the apps every one of them to get notifications, and I noticed that about 1 hour later ZTE somehow close them automatically, in the MI Assistant I set Viber and Messenger to auto-run, but still nothing, what should I do? I don't get notifications. I tried to turn off every Power Saving setting, everything that related to power saving is turned off, I even disallowed the deep sleep for these applications but still nothing, factory and cache reset and still nothing.

I have the US version but I ran into this too with my MagicJack app .. You can try ... though not sure if it will help ... it seemed to help on my MJ app ... going to the recent apps list and find the app that is closing and click the little lock icon in the upper right corner.
I did this because when I cleared the list it would close MJ app and not restart like it would do on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 ... After doing that .. I noticed that it kept running when I left the phone set for a while .. it would still shut down every so often but the app itself has never been real stable so that may be the app itself crashing or something.
So if you "Lock" the apps in the recent apps section ... it may keep them running even if the phone tries to clear out recent apps after it sits for a while.

lol .. i may have the terminology wrong... but here is a screen shot for you. With that lock enabled even if I click "clear all" and everything disappears from the recent apps list .. MJ .. and as you see I also have Pushbullet locked .. they will continue to run and if I select the recent apps list again .. they will be in there again .. they don't actually get closed .. As I say .. this may keep them from being closed if the Axon 7 closes old recent apps when your phone is inactive for a period of time... but this is only a theory and it may not work .. it may just be that I got lucky and the programs I use keep running for some reason now .. or maybe I just don't notice that they closed and end up opening them again without realizing it.

Ok here is something else .. may be odd but may be an issue... have you checked to make sure that you have sounds set to your notifications. There is an option for 'none' so just verify that you have a sound associated with your notifications.... another thing you can check is Settings >Sounds and Vibrations > Do not disturb and make sure this is off... or if you use this feature ... it should show an icon at the top .. make sure that icon isn't there .. I have heard of people saying that the do not disturb doesn't turn off like it is supposed to sometimes .. so if you use it .. and its suppose to turn off at say 6am .. make sure its shutting off ...
If that isn't it... let me clarify something... when you say you aren't getting notifications ... are you getting them but just not getting a sound to let you know you are getting them ... or are you not getting notifications as in ... you have to manually go into an app like your email and check manually for new mail because it isn't giving you any notifications that you have mail. ... basically are you just not getting 'notified' of notifications ... or are you not getting the actual notifications themselves from your apps... (nothing shows up in the notification section/lock screen)

I think i founded the solution you have to go Options>Power Manager>Power management for apps> and disable every slider for the apps that you want to use and the most important step REBOOT THE DEVICE. I did it today morning this change, and nothing happened, but now I rebooted my device, and it seems to work. I get the notifications immediately when I write a message to myself from another phone, thanks JohnOrion for taking time to help!
You can turn off in the MI Assistant the lockscreen background app close feature in the accelator menu, I think you have to turn that off too.

Ok here is something else .. may be odd but may be an issue... have you checked to make sure that you have sounds set to your notifications. There is an option for 'none' so just verify that you have a sound associated with your notifications.... another thing you can check is Settings >Sounds and Vibrations > Do not disturb and make sure this is off... or if you use this feature ... it should show an icon at the top .. make sure that icon isn't there .. I have heard of people saying that the do not disturb doesn't turn off like it is supposed to sometimes .. so if you use it .. and its suppose to turn off at say 6am .. make sure its shutting off ...
If that isn't it... let me clarify something... when you say you aren't getting notifications ... are you getting them but just not getting a sound to let you know you are getting them ... or are you not getting notifications as in ... you have to manually go into an app like your email and check manually for new mail because it isn't giving you any notifications that you have mail. ... basically are you just not getting 'notified' of notifications ... or are you not getting the actual notifications themselves from your apps... (nothing shows up in the notification section/lock screen)

You can also check something else by clicking your volume button and when you see the volume section come on your screen press the little down arrow and make sure that the notification section has volume set on it and isn't muted.

ahh .. the bell thing.. yeah i got rid of that as soon as it was possible I don't think that the US version has MI Assistant .. you are the second person that mentioned it and I don't see that anywhere on my phone and I did a google play on it and it said its not compatible with my phone....
glad you were able to work it out

I'm running into this same issue. Just got my phone two days ago and loving it. However, every so often throughout the day it goes into some sort of deep sleep and none of my notifications come through. I've been missing new emails and hangout messages until I unlock the screen and manually refresh.
This is not a case of not hearing notifications, when I open the Gmail app, it doesn't even display the new messages until I manually refresh it.
Seems to be totally random on when this happens. I've tried checking different power settings and such and nothing really seems to make a difference. I don't even see an option to modify the power settings for the Gmail app, it doesn't show on the list of available apps.
Anyone have any luck? If this continues to be a problem, it could be a deal breaker and will force me to return it. What's the point of having a smartphone that doesn't get emails and messages?

I wish I could give you an answer .. right now .. I truly feel that ZTE realizes that it has made a mistake with the power and ram management .. I'm sure it has been resolved but because of the way things work .. it will probably not be a 'seen' fixed until the next major update which will include Nougat. This update should be here either this month according to Newegg .. or soon after .. it has been verified by one of the ZTE staff that Nougat is in the testing stages now but not verified that it will be out this month... so I'm hoping it wont be too much longer.

Makes sense. Besides the issue with sync, I really like the phone. I love the size and feel. Speakers are truly great. I've got until January 31st to return through Amazon. I'll hang on a short bit longer and see what happens.
Only other option would be the One Plus 3t. Not sure I want to give up the front facing speakers though...

Hopefully you will have the answer before your cut off date it looks promising that you will .. so yeah.. hang in there for a little while longer ... ZTE has been moving fast to get things working .. when you think about it and compare to other manufacturers ... their last update was only about a month or so ago and a very large update is coming very shortly .. that is pretty good in my opinion ... lol but I am coming from an ancient Galaxy S3 so this phone is incredible compared to that even with its strange quarks.
isn't the OP3t also a 1080 screen .. well i guess with this size it doesn't matter but .. lol ... I guess I like the 1440p screen
and yeah I love the speakers on this .. My nephew picked up a V20 because of its sound ... I want to compare it to this .. I bet mine sounds better than his that he paid 2 times the price for ... then again .. that would only be speaker sound .. I'm sure the DAC is actually better in that phone .. I think its like a 64bit one and ours is only 32bit .. but .. never actually followed it .. I love the sound but I'm not so into sound that I know specs of the converters and that stuff I just know the sound that comes out of my phone sounds great and the v20 doesn't have front facing speakers lol ... sorry .. I am a fanboy I guess .. fell in love with this phone .. want to see some of the issues resolved but for me .. I'm lucky .. most of the major ones people complain about don't seem to effect me.
Like not getting notifications .. my email twitch youtube and twitter all come through ... and lol geeky me .. they all get pushed fine to my Pebble watch and my desktop computer without delay .. as far as I have noticed by following the forums .. I get a lot of emails and there is also a counter on the forum that shows notifications and again .. never noticed a significant delay between the two of them and the phone will be sitting inactive for long periods of time .
I am lucky because I don't really communicate like a lot of people do on their phones .. I use it mainly for calls and to play around .. and it works better to notify me of mail than Windows .. so I don't use a lot of online services like spotify .. whatsapp .. and those type of things .. maybe this is why I;m not seeing issues ...

Just had it happen again. I didn't check my phone while watching a movie and decided to check my Huawei watch at the end of the movie. Was checking an old Google now card and all of a sudden my phone lit up with notifications of new Gmails and Pop emails pouring in. They were an hour old.
I'm not really sure what to do. I work for a small company and need my emails. I'm really torn as I really like everything else about this phone, but this might be the killer.
Any suggestions for a similar phone in this price range besides the One Plus 3t?

You might have to disable doze.

sorry to say .. I stopped looking when I decided on the Axon ... I do use BlueMail and get all my mail once I got rid of the power management and locked it in my recent apps list. You could give that program a try and see if it can get past the issue that seems to be ignoring your settings. ... I would suggest installing and setting up BlueMail and adjusting the power settings and locking it in the recent apps list .. then reboot the phone .. just to make sure all the settings take .. double check .. I have seen weird things with the power management settings then see if you still have issues getting mail ... if so .. again ..hopefully the update coming soon will solve the issue if you can wait a little bit .. I know since its business related .. its not something that can wait .... but maybe bluemail is more aggressive in its waking than gmail and maybe it will be able to get your notifications out

Good point, I meant to ask about that earlier. You had noted you don't have the problems with made me think you were using a third party app for email.
I'll check it out and see how it works out. I'm willing to give it a shot.
As for disabling Doze, not sure how to do that with the MiFavor skin on there. Doesn't seem to be a simple option for that.

yeah maybe bluemail will help .. its very nice ... gmail would only let me link 2 accounts and wouldn't let me link my personal imap server so I still always had to deal with 2 boxes .. but with BlueMail ... I can have all my mail in one box with easy access
oh and I'm not familiar with disabling doze either .. maybe awsomjgp can enlighten us both

Was the problem solved with Android 7?
I have Android 6 on the Axon 7 and have the same problem as mentioned.
If the problem was solved by installing Andorid 7, can you tell me a good source where it is explained how to install it on the chinese version of Axon 7. Had much trouble till now. Lucky I payed just 80%€ for it... :angel:

Factory Reset
I solved the problem by doing an unintentional factory reset. After that I had a lot of truebles with Google Play Service but now it seems to be ok. Every time the phone kills some apps, it asks me if I want protect them. But can't find this action under the settings.

Late notifications

I have the S10+ (Exynos) and at the same time an iPhone Xs Max, both in the same WLAN at home and the office (but the problem also exists on the road with mobile data):
When I get an e-mail (i use the gmail app on both devices) the iPhone notfication is about 5-10 minutes earlier than the one of the S10+.
Some push-notification (news, results) do appear on the same time, but others have even more difference (about 20 minutes later on the S10+; but probably the sender of the news sends them not at the same time).
But I'm worried about gmail. Most of the times (but not everytime) when I'm using the S10+ the e-mail notification is as fast as on the iPhone. But as soon as I put it on the desk and don't use it for a couple of minutes, the delay of the notification is significant.
I didn't see any settings that this would happen. And I don't see anything that I can change about sync settings that it really pushes.
Any ideas what I could try?

Don't optimize battery for Gmail app

Oh, I didn't see that one yet. Thanks!
I will give it a try now

first impressions:
it's a bit hit or miss. Most of the mail came at the same time on both phones. but 2 or 3 were delayed again, not by much, probably about 2-3 minutes.
So it's better now, but still not perfect.

Check your push and fetch settings in Gmail and make sure they are set to the same intervals

Having said this, it could simply be that even on the same interval, they are both checking at different times. Not sure they is anything to be done about that.

How do you turn off battery optimization ?

you can do by either holding down on an app, click on app info and then select optimize battery usage or by searching "battery optimize battery usage in the settings search. at the top of that screen just toggle between "Apps not optimized" and "All".

That helped a lot with this optimization.
The setting about the sync interval is not in the gmail app (anymore?). At least I can't find it

I still have some problems with notification delays.
When I use the phone every couple minutes then everything is fine. But if it lays on the desk without using it it starts delaying the notifications. It seems, like the phone cuts the data connection.
I even installed an app called "PNF no root" that (should) make a ping every other minute so the network is kept busy. But not even that helps (but I'm not sure if it is optimized for Android 9).
Is there somewhere an option I'm missing? Is there an option to keep the network alive all the time or should that be by default?

I have the same problem. When i leave my phone locked and i go AFK, i sometimes don't even get a CALL or notification.
Example 1:
I go to bed and leave my phone, my girlfriend used Facebook Messenger to call me and sent me a msg but none of it went through and its 'white ticked' from her end.
Example 2:
I lock my phone and do my own stuff for few hours, did not get any notification for my games nor messages on whatsapp or facebook or even a real phone call from my family.
Not sure what is wrong, all of those apps above have battery optimization turned off already.

Same here. I have disabled all the energy savings I know of.
Really annoying

Same happens with mine
Fixed it a little bit allowing apps to work in background is what hurt my battery life so I switched back

Tengo exactamente el mismo problema en mi S10 (973U). Busque ayuda por todos lados. Apague todos las optimizaciones y nada... No se soluciona. Me contacte con samsung y no estan al tanto del conflicto. Me dieron respuestas tontas que no ayudaron en nada. Estoy indignado. Mi viejo S8 funcionaba perfecto.
