Galaxy S3 not getting any notifications and clock not syncing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S3 9300 running official rom and android 4.3
Since yesterday, i receive no notifications from all apps (viber, mails etc). for example i only see the viber messages only when i start the viber app. Same thing for all apps.
Also, the top right clock on the home sceen does not sync with the clock of the home screen weather app (the top right clock time is left behind until i switch off and on the screen).
Additionally, when i go to the settings-device info-firmware upgade, nothing happens (normally it should search for any new upgrade).
Finally, i noticed that the battery is running out faster than before without any specific device use...
I didnt make any upgrades or anything else for the last 15 days and i also switched off/on the device many times in case the problem would be solved.
Any usefull thoughts???

[Q] Lockscreen Agenda getting killed

Hi,
I've installed Lockscreen Agenda on my SGS2 but during the day I notice that sometimes it gets killed by the system. I've already went to the Lockscreen Agenda settings and checked the option "Persistent Mode" (which is supposed to prevent the system from killing it) but the issue persists. I've also notice that sometimes the Lockscreen Agenda takes like a second or two to show up once I wake up the phone (not always, but sometimes).
Any thoughts on both matters?
thanks
Rafa
Nobody?.....
No answers for you, but I have downloaded it as it looks like a great app!
It IS a great little app...and I don't know why, but it just stopped getting killed

[Q] Emails status update

Hi all,
There is something strange with the email notification through the email icon at the top of the screen and through the LED, compared to what was existing before with my previous HTC DHD and Ace.
With these old smartphone, the notifications (icon and LED) was updated within seconds if I had read the email on my computer. LED stopped blinking and icon disappeared while the email was marked as read in the smartphone. The synchornization via Gmail or Exchange was excellent.
But on my S3, even I read the email on my computer, the LED keeps blinking and the icon stays at the top of the screen until I delete the notification with dropdown menu.
Is it a problem with the S3 as I have never had such issue with my two previous smartphone using exactly the same email accounts, with the same profiles configuration.
I must add, that in both cases, I use the stock application provided by HTC (with Sense) and Samsung (with TouchWiz).
Thanks for your help,
Lim.
So no one has the slightest idea why HTC can do something that Samsung can not ?

B322: Notifications not appearing and lockscreen crashing

So I have 322 the latest official 5.1 update for my mate 2.
At first the lockscreen crash was no more with CM locker, recently CM locker got updated and the problem returned... this is issue number one.
Issue number two is ever since I upgraded to the first test version, notifications for email applications like onetype, islamic prayer application, viber, etc... do not run in the background it would seem and I get no notifications of emails no push, etc...
Even the clock app, it dissapears from the notification area if I close it, so only way i can use my alarm before bed is if i leave the clock app open.
What's up with these issues and how do I fix them?
I don't use the default launcher I use nova
No one?
I have never heard of anyone else having these issues. The only thing I can think of is to either factory reset or wipe and re-flash the ROM, but those should be a last resort.

Notification Issues

Can't get notifications from Facebook, Words With Friends, Facebook Messenger and other apps. No badge notifications or alerts. And I get Facebook Messenger notifications at the top of the screen with every text sent or recorded WHILE USING FACEBOOK MESSENGER! Anyone else having notification issues?
I texted with Samsung tech support (big mistake!) and they said that it was a hardware issue and to return the S9+ to Verizon for replacement. This makes no sense to me. Sounds like a software issue. Thoughts?
what launcher are you using?
if stock Samsung launcher, pinch in on the screen and go to settings... you'll find that notification badges have to be turned on there separately for some annoying reason
if any other launcher, make sure you've given it notification access under accessability so the launcher can read notifications and give you the correct 'badge' for the icon
I heard that for some, the battery optimization might be running too aggressively. Try going into battery usage, settings (3 dots), then battery optimization, then select to show all apps, then try unselecting the apps your having problems with. Give it a run for a few days to see if that helps.
I am using Samsung's launcher. Spent 2 hours on the phone with them. Tried everything. Nothing works. May have to do a factory reset
It's software issues. I got the same problem.

Tried your suggestion. So far, no dice.
Yeah I am looking toward a factory reset too. Notification issue but different. no Edge Lighting alerts.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Edge Lighting Notifications to work. After a week with this phone I am yet to see one. Samsung Experience Home. Notifications on for everything. No apps have Optimise battery usage. All I get is a notification tone, an icon on the AOD and a status bar icon. But for me Edge Lighting Notifications are totally MIA!
So I eventually got some Edge Lighting alerts to work. Primarily by going into each and every app that I awn the alerts from and setting "Do not disturb custom exception" to On within it Notification area. PITA to have to do this in each app when it should be settable from the system notification area one would think. Now have it working for Whatsapp, Skype and Samsung Messaging.
But for love or money I cannot get it to work for GMail. Anyone else got Edge Lighting alerts working with GMAIL. Setting "Do not disturb custom exception" does not do it.

how to get notifications on the sleep screen

Hello
I've looked through the settings many many times, and I can't figure out how to get notifications from apps (whatsapp plus, Bluemail, Textra) to appear on the sleep screen- the black screen that shows the clock and battery percentage. The stock messaging app will post an icon to that screen when a message arrives, but no other.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a bla-a09 US variant running version 119.
Only stock apps (message, email, call etc) appear on the Always Display Information screen. Other apps like WhatsApp, Facebook etc won't show there. This is how Huawei's software works.
