Push Notifications S(t)uck! - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

There are plenty of posts online about Android notifications being "stuck" and you get them with a significant delay or when you unlock your screen/phone.
I've read them all, they all pretty much go through the same "fix" steps that don't seem to work.
My data is on
I do NOT have Battery Saver on
One specific app that I am having trouble with is even listed as Never Sleep App
Nothing seems to help.
The above mentioned app is a Garage Door Opener. Garage door opens, within half a second my wife's iPhone beeps with a notifications.
My Android (S10+ in this case, but it happened with previous, older phones) doesn't care. No notification whatsoever. It will come, eventually when something else will be delivered. For example, I'll receive an email in Gmail and it looks like this 'push' of an email kind of "releases" the Garage Door notification that is stuck and then I receive both. Or, as I mentioned, if I unlock my phone/screen.
I cleared the app's cache and data - doesn't help.
It happens with other apps as well (security cameras, for example), but the Garage Door opener is the most important one to me.
This is beyond frustrating and annoying. What else can I do to fix this? Any ideas?
Thank you.

So no one else in the Android world is experiencing notifications delays?!

Bump

Another bump....I am surprised that no one experiences notifications delay (held back by other apps) on their Androids.

OK, let me try and make it easier.
I installed the "trouble maker" app on another Android phone. Older model but clean, fresh from factory reset, no other apps on it other than the default apps that come with it. I signed up to the Play Store in order to download and install the app, however all other syncs on that account are disabled, so technically nothing is "in the way".
Garage door just closed. On my S10+, while on a call (which means the phone is 'technically' not locked), the notification came 11 minutes after the door closed. Clearly that defeats the purpose.
On the new/fresh Android, notificaiton came immediately as it's supposed to.
So clearly there is something on my S10+ that blocks notifications, particularly from that app.
Is there a way to find out what causes it other than hard-reset my phone and install one app at a time to see what's causing it?!
Thank you.

Anyone??

What a supportive place this has become.. lol But honestly no one knows what to do with these delayed notifications. People seem to be ok with it and accept that it's just how Android works which is sad.
The only solution I've found is to disable doze with adb.

I know, right?! No responses for so many threads.
Not sure what doze is and I wish I knew how to work with adb

Phone Calls

Is it my phone or what
when i get a call I feel the vibration and hear the ring tone about 4 to 5 seconds before the screen turns on so I could answer
Do they plan on doing anything about this?
You guys dont happen to have SMS popup installed??
I am having the same issue but don't have SMS popup. I do however have dxTop, Missed Call, a rooted phone, and my apps on my SD card. I noticed it some time after I got the last Missed Call update (when they changed the logo) and added dxTop. Do any of you have a similar setup? Maybe we can figure this thing out.
I don't have any of those apps installed and am experiencing the same problem.
I do have K9 and I get a wait/force close periodically.
I do have caller lookup installed though (because it's apparently very important that I don't let my factory warranty on my truck expire).
I'm using JFRC33 1.42 but I can't say that it didn't happen with previous firmwares, it just seems to be happening more often now. It hasn't happened in a few days though.
It really does seem like there's a combination of factors that cause the problem, I just haven't been able to notice the pattern yet.
I have not done a wipe either.

Hmmm... I have JFRC33 1.42 as well with the updated radio (1.22.14.11) and K-9 Mail which I too am having numerous force close issues. Maybe K9 is the culprit? Anyone else have K-9 as well?
I have the same issue and just got to the point where I had to remove my 8GB sd with apps to ext2, wipe and now I only have pretty much the stock apps, stock messaging, no sms pop up, 1GB sd with jfv1.42_RC33_MOD
just did it last night to see if it works fine now.
I'll post it as soon as I found out whether it works or not
so far the problem is GONE! the phone ring right away, shows the caller info as should be yeeeh!! am testing right now installing custom ringtones and missed call app, running missed call app is causing the phone to ring only twice and goes to VM right away, rebooted and everything is normal but no doubt that missed call is causing some unwanted actions in the phone,

how many apps you have? are you rooted? apps in the sd? lets find out how far can we go to resolve this.. I think is related to the amount of apps and the notification apps running, I don't have K9 tho..

Help! Lost my phone - Stolen

EDIT: Phone was definitely stolen.
What (if anything) can I do to try to track it? Didn't have any apps installed for something like this
also, is there a way to access my SMS's that are coming in? Contacts are all stored in Gmail, so that's not an issue at least.
From your PC download "Plan B" by going to your account. As soon as the phone gets a signal it will install. You can track it remotely with another phone.
Sent From Rob's ATRIX.
I did do that...hopefully it will get on there but haven't received any email yet with a location. I am very interested how i can quickly send and view my SMS's
VERY IMPORTANT for work reasons.
There is also Cerberus which works excellently, but I don't know if it can be installed and activated remotely.
Sent From Rob's ATRIX.
You can set up AT&T "family track" on your phone and it will go into effect immediately so you can get an exact location of your phone (if it is on). Even if you don't have AT&T I'm sure that rogers and other phone companies offer something similar if not the same thing.
MOTOBLUR's "track my phone" might work? And if you can't get it back at least you can initiate a remote wipe as you seemed to hint that there is a security issue or something there.

what about getting to see the SMS's on the phone? gonna call ATT now.
So annoying

it's not the iPhone 5, is it...?
Honestly?..........Sorry to tell you but it's long gone if someone took it. Best bet you have is someone found it and is honest, but that doesn't happen often. Ignore the posts about installing apps..............you don't have your phone, not gonna happen!
Did you have it locked? If not you can't have been too worried about the security.
Call your carrier, have the phone logged as stolen, they will track it if it is turned on and active. They don't deactivate phones right away for this exact reason. If someone uses it they will try to track it through the numbers called on it.
If it has a stock ROM and you had a screen lock, your messages should be safe.
Your settings are tied to your Motoblur account.
Log into the Motoblur website and issue a remote wipe.
it was Neutrino Rom, pretty new install so not much private info on there...no screen lock or anything setup
I'm pretty sure you can install Lookout Security remotely to try and track it.
About checking the text messages, I think you're outta luck there. I've never heard of remotely checking texts, but hopefully I'm wrong for your sake.
So, I wasn't able to get any response from Plan B, but i installed ATT's Family map program and it is seeing the phone, which means at least I know it is still on.
What should i do?
I was about to give up and have it deactivated and turn on an old handset, but now that i have a general location on it i'm not sure what my next move should be

If sound was on, start calling it in the vicinity with another phone.

sound was not on.....
The location looks like it's all commercial, i don't see houses or anything. So i am guessing the thief brought it to work with them?
also, it says it's only accurate to about 30 yards give or take. So if it was in a development or apartment building, kinda hard to key in on where exactly it is.
If, however the person with it lives in a bit more remote area, i MAY have a chance to narrow it down...but still hard to be certain and all

Then destroy target.
isn't there an app that can remotely turn sound up on the phone?
call the cops. you have the serial number and all that right? file a stolen property report and then tell them you've narrowed down the location of your phone using an app.

[Q]SMS problems coming from an iPhone 4

So my sister in law bought a G2 to replace her iPhone 4 on my recommendation and is having an SMS problem I can't seem to diagnose.
So, when she sends a text from her G2 to someone with an iPhone, the receiver never get it. She also doesn't receive messages from them on her G2, but they show up on her old iPhone 4.
She also has a problem where when she tries to delete a text message it creates a new text message to that person as if she were going to send them a multimedia message and the date says 12/31/1969.
Does anyone have any clue what could be the cause of all this? Thanks for any help!
Sorry, that is a puzzler. Replied just to let you know that you arent being ignored. Good luck.
She needs to sign into her Apple account and shut off iMessage since it loves to screw stuff up now that she moved to Google.

What Enigma said.
Apple's system checks a phone number / email to see if it's hooked up to a device with iMessage enabled. Since her # never got a disconnect it's still trying to send it to her iPhone 4.
She needs to go to the iPhone. Go to Settings. Then turn off iMessage. It should catch up.
I disabled iMessage on all my iOS devices as a safety catch when I got my G2 (had an iPhone 5) and it's been fine. My wifes iPhone knows to send as text once I shut off iMessage on my old iPhone.
As usual, the community is amazing. Thanks so much for the assistance everyone!
So it turns out she had disabled her imessage account a couple days ago, but the problem persists.
She came over last night and I messed with it and can't figure out what's going on. I wiped the Messaging apps cache and data, but it didn't help at all. I witnessed all the weird things it does. Sure enough, when you delete a thread it creates a new one at the bottom to that same person with the date of 12/31/1969.
I tried downloading Verizon Messenger to see if that would work, but it has the same problems.
Without doing a factory reset at this point, I don't know what to do.
Since the problem is not confined to a single messaging program, I'm thinking something must be corrupted at the system level with messaging.
Does anybody have any idea how I can completely wipe the messaging app and start over without root?

Notification issue - Samsung GalaxyS5 PLEASE HELP

I have the Samsung GalaxyS5 from Verizon. Recently I noticed I have been getting notification sound/vibrate when I don't even get a notification. I have tried what seems to be everything and just can't seem to get it to stop. I also noticed that it happens every 5 minutes - on the dot. Even when I put my phone on silent it still vibrates. I know this in right, I'm thinking I have some type of bug or virus. I have the Verizon Protect which scans for viruses and such. According to that, I have nothing wrong. I had a system update which I installed a week ago. This hasn't been happening for that long, only about 2 days. But every 5 minutes exactly I get the sound of a text, with no text.
If anyone has any idea I am up to all options. I have went through numerous threads on different websites and nothing seems to be working for me.
I just need someone with a bit more tech skills than what I have!!
Please help me out. Thanks a bunch!!!!

It's not so easy to identify an app that make a notification sound/vibration. Just some suggestions:
- If there is any notification message on the notification bar, long tap on it and select "App info" to see it belong to which app.
- Check yourself what apps you have installed recently. Try to uninstall some apps that you suspect.
- Use Permission Explorer to check for apps that have "Vibrate" permission.

Severe delay in all kinds of notification on my Nexus 6P until I wake up phone screen

So I am seeing this issue increasing on daily basis. My phone is usually in my pocked (not in doze) or some times lying around on the desk (dozed/not dozed, but still notification should deliver late). But I have noticed that in both situations, I don't receive any notification until I actually turn on the screen. As soon as I turn the screen on, notifications start to come in all together.. (around 4-5 notification comes together). It seems that they were pending to be delivered but were never delivered to the device until I woke it up and data connection restored.
I understand that in doze mode, notifications are delayed but are delivered, but in my situation they are not even delivered until I turn on the screen and wait a couple to 5 seconds.
A few P.S.
- I am on Stock Android without anykind of root (systemless or regular).
- I don't have any kind of advanced battery saving mode on or app installed (greenify or clean master etc).
- I don't have battery optimization for whatsapp still no notification comes in :crying:
- I see it on both Wifi and LTE..
- Cellular notifications like sms, mms or calls are not affected with this issue, they come on time.
Bumping up this thread!
Anybody else experiencing this issue or do you have any suggestions to resolve this issue?
This is a known issue and does not need to be bumped as not only are their multiple threads about this issue but google is already actively working on a fix.... https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197805

The thread doesn't just cover gmail. If you look past the title, they are working on fixing issues relating to push notifications in general. Gmail was just the first app reported as having issues. Push notifications currently aren't functioning correctly on the 6P. Google is working to fix the issue. If you actually google notifications not showing up on 6P, quite a few news articles and Android forums will give you the same answer I was trying to give you.
I only experience this when I turn my phone on first thing in the morning, otherwise no.
I have notification issues on almost every Android phone, when on WiFi. It seems to be a known issue but been around/unresolved forever.
I use an app called DNSet, it runs automatically at startup and fixes this issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll try it myself.. and report back.
Right now I am using Push Notification Fixer and results are really mixed. It works sometimes and others are as bad as no notification for minutes or hours until screen is turned on.
Please update following defect at google bug tracker stating you are also experiencing this issue.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=198686
Well, also if I have another phone (an Xperia) with Nougat 7.1.1 I have the same issue, which I also faced on older version of Android (eg on a Wiko Rainbow Jam with Lollipop)
I'm doing some tests in the generic section of the forum:

I know you said it's happening on both LTE and Wi-Fi, but many people look past their carrier / geographic location as the culprit. Please update your XDA profile with that information. Everyone should have this most basic information in their profile. Thanks.
