No notifications - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have 2 mobile devices with Android 6. None of them receives any notifications when in "sleep mode".
But it looks like it's only from third Party apps the problem excits. (Messenger, Whatsapp, Snapchat)
No problem with standard app for sms messeges and mails/gmail.
Problem excits with WiFi on and off.
I have tried everything I think.
Whats wrong?
Have a Nice Day.:cyclops:

Are you rooted? Using anything like Greenify or an app to force Doze mode? Battery saving apps? Apps to control notifications like Floatify?

Hi,
No root and No powersavings apps.

It seems like the Doze mode might be too aggressive. I'd check Settings / Battery / then click the 3 dot menu and battery optimization and find the apps and turn it off for those and see what happens.

I have tried this - no luck.
I have now made a factory reset on one the phones - did not help either.

Which apps to whitelist for aggressive doze?

Hey guys. I used to use aggressive doze, but it seemed like I was having a problem getting alarm/timer notifications. To make sure I don't miss important notifications are there other services I need to be sure to whitelist besides the clock app, phone app, etc.?

Normally you don't have to whitelist anything except those apps from which you need notifications. Google Play Services which is required for notifications, is already whitelisted.
Apps which are made compatible to MM's Doze function need not specifically be whitelisted. So even the phone app and clock app need not be whitelisted if they are Google's. Only third party apps which have not been made compatible (from which you need notifications) need to be whitelisted.
I've noticed that if you navigate with the screen off, whatever app you are using to navigate will get Dozed until you wake the device, so I'd whitelist whatever navigation app you use if you navigate with your screen off. Otherwise, as tnsmani said, I haven't found a good reason to whitelist any other apps.

Yes, the whitelist option isn't working properly. It doesn't matter which 3rd party app you are trying to be in a whitelist, it won't show any notification until you turn your screen ON.

Mate 10 pro and Navbar Animations

Hi, sorry for this other thread but I have many issues with this phone.
I have installed the app called Navbar Animations, the app works just installed, then after a few seconds it does not work anymore.
I get a notification of the android system where I am told that navbar animations is running in the background, but it does not work, there are no animations.
in the settings of my phone I set the running in the background and I authorized the app not to be subjected to the optimization of the battery.
when I turn the phone back on, it works for a moment and then no longer. the same thing happens sometimes after closing the apps in multitasking
I also asked the developer of the app that told me that it is a problem related to my phone and that he does not know how to help me.
could someone help me?
new Infos. when the phone is in charge the animations works fine....
it seems to me that the phone kill navbar animation in background (when not in charge of course)...

Maybe you should add app to protected apps.

Force the app to ignore battery optimisations.
Go to Settings/Apps & notifications/Apps
tap on Settings/Special access/Ignore battery optimisation and change your app to Allowed.

Go to Apps, find it and go to data usage and allow everything - background, data and wifi.
Then go to security and give administration and also check either accessibilities or notification and check apps with usage
Then go back to Apps and give it all permissions

Accessibility and Developer options Issue

One serious problem in "realme 1" is when I turn on the accessibility of a certain app and developer options, status bar color changes to yellow nd it won't go until I switch them back to off....it says Accessibility is turned on. Tap to close..... And even if I clear ram, the accessibility turns off automatically... Any solution to keep accessibility of a desired app always on? I tried every possible trick but in vain...a little help is appreciated. Thank you

Color of status bar changing to yellow and need to turn off is not possible they (realme )claims it's feature of color os. And accessibility option issue is when you turn on accessibility option or similar app which is permitted to accessibility option is responsible.
Yeah, I too noticed it
I have the exact same problem, I thinking of to change my phone due to multiple reasons
New updated solved the issue
I always set my dpi as 540, the orange developer option reminder was irritating. The recent software update has solved the issue, check it out.

Solved in New update but still there is a problem
I use greenify app to kill apps in background
But it needs accessibility on Everytime.
But once i kill the app from recents (greenify)
The accessibility gets turned off automatically in settings.
Also in developer options i turned all animations off, but after restart all settings are restored to default.

no you don't get it right, what he says is whenever animations are set to 0.5x (in my case) .. after restart device the settings are get default to 1x automatically. This is really weird.. and frustrating.

China ROM Notification issues

(new here and to OPPO)
Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?
Edit:just found what Athena supposedly does, removing this fixed it for you?
Edit2:
Crowbar Asdfghjkl said:
According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

Using this I have got some more notifications to behave more normally, but things like SoundCloud player will sometimes decide not to show up, is there anything more I can do?

I'm getting my Gmail and calendar pretty consistently....
Also the messenger that im using (Viber)
It also seem that it learns what app you use the most and kinda know to let notification through..

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]

Question Consistently get notifications Find N2?

New here. Any help would be appreciated. I have followed videos and other posts but still can't consistently get notifications unless the app is open in the background. Any way around that besides locking it? Are we just limited to 5 apps that get consistent notifications by locking them in the background?
There are 10 apps (can't change the apps) that Oppo gives you the option to auto launch. If enabled these 10 apps will always display notifications. You can then select another 5 from all your other apps.
Before I got rid of the phone I downloaded an app to autolaunch a bunch of my apps so it's running in the background.
any way to set NOVA Launcher or other third party launcher as default here ?
Dear OPPO if you are reading here: Please release OTA to fix this problem as you just made on Android 13 and Find N1 ....

You can further lock 5 apps in the recent apps so that the system doesn't kill them and you'll get the notifications. In addition I would suggest to deactivate all battery optimisations for the apps you wish to receive the notifications:
Settings - apps - app management - you choose the desired app - battery usage - activate allow background activity.
Then you go to App - associated launch ( this is valid for the apps for which you DIDN'T allow auto launch) and enable it for the apps you wish to get the notifications for.
Lastly go to Battery - more settings - optimize battery use and for the apps you wish to get the notifications you need to choose "don't optimise".
Hope it helps

Unless the apps are running in the background (excluding the ones that you set to autolaunch), even with battery optimisation disabled etc you will not get timely notifications.

Yeah that's what I have noticed. I'm toying with the idea to use a secondary phone to get my notifications. Don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back.
I've had mine a week now and I'm getting used to only getting limited notifications. I just can't get my head around why they prioritise battery life over receiving notifications in China? I've always kept notifications to a minimum on my phones but 5 apps just isn't enough. You need a couple of messaging apps, maybe social media, banking etc to alert you to suspicious activity, they soon add up.
