Hi all,
I have a new Galaxy S8 and am having major issues with notifications. The key applications I am noticing issues with are Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Hangouts.
I am getting notifications for all of these apps very late, and when they arrive, it is usually all at once for each app. Then, I will keep getting the same notifications after they have been cleared almost every hour.
Gmail recently stopped giving me notifications at all, and my Gmail app doesn't show recent e-mails like it isn't Syncing. Sometimes a refresh will show new messages.
Here's what I've done:
- Settings -> Notifications -> Advanced | Enabled for these apps. I actually haven't disabled notifications for any apps.
- Settings -> Apps -> Special Access -> Optimize Battery Usage | OFF for these apps.
- Settings -> Device Maintenance -> Battery -> Power Saving Mode is OFF. App power monitor is OFF.
- Settings -> Cloud and Accounts -> Accounts -> Google | Accounts are set to Sync Everything. The last synced timestamps are recent.
Do Not Disturb mode is also turned off.
What am I missing? I don't have any task managers that are killing apps periodically either. Some background services like Fitbit, AutomateIt Pro, and TripLog Mileage don't respond to triggers as well.
I'm afraid my thread has gotten lost? I can't be the only one with this problem. In fact, my wife, who now has the exact same phone I do, is having the same problems.
I can't seem to find any other fixes than my OP. Help!
I started having the same problems on my s8+, that's wierd.

I do not have any email/facebook/twitter set up on my phone at all and I have removed all Samsung hubs.
When I go to Settings > Applications > Running Services I see "Email" running 2 processes and 1 Service.
The Service is: ODEService
The processes are: Email (com.android.email) and Social Hub (com.seven.z7.service)
1) What are these processes/services and is there any reason these keep popping up even though I have removed all Samsung Hubs?
2)Also, in titanium backup there are two apps listed "Email 1.0" and "Email 3.0.0.1" are these Android apps or Samsung Apps?
fyi, I'm just investigating my excessive battery drain on light useage.
Thanks!
I've searched everywhere and could not find an answer to a very simple question:
How to control frequency of synchronization for Mail/Calendar/Contacts for a Google account ??
For me, they never synchronize by themselves. They sync only by manual request.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Google accounts are push.... normally instantly, are you not getting your info right away?
Settings/battery and data manager/battery mode
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Settings/Accounts/
Thank you all for the suggestions but nothing works so far.
When I receive a new email in my Gmail account, it does not sync to the phone automatically. When I go to Settings > Accounts > Google, I see "Sync Contacts/Gmail/Calendar" but the last sync time remains the time I sync'd them manually (currently - yesterday).
Settings > Battery > Battery Mode is Performance.
I'm really desperate, as I cannot use my phone for one of main things I wanted it for.
Please help!
PROBLEM SOLVED !
This forum does not allow me to post URLs yet, so I'm copying the solution here:
Sync was apparently turned off via the Power Control widget! This is a really obtuse and unacceptable situation. The only way to turn this back on is to add the widget back to a screen and click on the round double arrow button so that its enabled. This is not at all obvious and I accidentally turned sync off and then removed the widget because I didn't know what the different buttons did (they aren't labeled). That is a bad widget design (obscure) and the fact that sync can not be re-enabled (or even detected that its been disabled) from the system configuration menus is not reasonable. If sync can be turned on & off it should show up under say the Data Manager as a check mark option, it should most definately not only show up as an unlabeled button on an optional widget.
Hi!
I tried to do my due diligence before posting this. While this has been addressed in the past I didn't find any solution.
Anyhow, since a couple of days ago my Gmail-app (4.5.2) is not giving me instant notifications for new e-mails. I haven't flashed anything new or something along those lines. I did however disable some autostarts for Google Services Framework in order to resolve a wakelock, but that was 4 weeks ago.
Some symptoms:
It seems to sync eventually - this morning I found a notification for an e-mail that was received 6 p.m. the day before.
If I go to Settings > Google account > Sync Gmail I can manually force it to sync, which produces the notification.
Upon entering the app I find the e-mails there
Things I've tried so far:
Ensured that Sync is activated in the Notification Center-thingy you drag from the top
Ensured that sync is activated in the Gmail-app
Clear Gmail app-data > reboot
Clear Google Play Services app-data > reboot
Clear Dalvik cache (out of desperation more than anything)
Running Push Notification Fixer
Removing Google account and signing in again
So, the core of the problem seems to be that the app for whatever reason isn't syncing at the desired intervals anylonger: so instead of pushing, the mails needs to be pulled (semi-manually, it seems).
Many thanks for any input on how to solve this!

Hi Nollan,
It looks like I'm having the same issue as you. I see that no one responded to your question, but I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it.
Thanks,
shingy

I noticed that recently some new Google account sync options have appeared in Android. Take a look at the attached screenshot.
I now see the following listed as sync options:
- Cloud Print
- Game Data
- Game Data
- Google Play services
- Location Reporting and Location History
- Push subscriptions
- YouTube
These all have parenthesis in front of them unlike the regular sync options. I know most of these services were already active before they showed up here. But now I'm just curious why they are here and if this has happened to anyone else. Is there anything else I need to know about this? And also what is "Push subscriptions"?
Same here, don't know what's these doing, I just simply disable all of them, as I don't think I had any thing need to sync with these * options.
What is really annoying is that "push subscriptions" cannot be turned off manually. It starts up now and then.

I agree it's damn irritating. For me it seems to start up again every time I reboot and since I flash CM nightlies I reboot my phone almost everyday.
You mean they are restored only after reboot. That's far better than me. Cus no reboot is needed
push subscriptions / gmail sync
i have turned off sync push subscriptions but found that gmail then stopped with pushing emails (only manual refresh worked - autocync on, mobile data on, no restrictions). setting back on sync of push subscriptions recovers gmail push sync and now all emails are syncing immediately...
hqs anyone figured out what "sync push subscriptions" is? I turn mine off, then they automatically turn back on, and I dont even reboot?
Same problem here... some sync options automatically turn on, if any sync option is enabled. Any solution to this?
Hi,
is it completely safe to greenify apps with the cloud icon? According to the documentation GCM-supported apps can be waken up even greenified, but I encounter problems with some of these break functionality
Pushbullet - tho greenified it can still accept pushes it loses notification mirroring and moreover uncouples from Google's account spontaneously. Accounts sync entry is lost as well
Viber - Accounts sync entry lost over OS restarts
Telegram - ditto.
Whatsapp - ditto.
Any other issued problems with greenifying GCM-enabled apps?
?
