Hi!
I use Calendar with DAVdroid (sysnces events with nextcloud), but I noted that there are missing notifications on my Mate 10 Pro.
Strange thing is that sometimes notification appears, but that's random and very rare.
I tried to look into Settings -> Battery -> Launch, but there's no Calendar application to manage.
As alternative, I tried to install several calendars from Play store, but for only Today Calendar gives me a notification (but I don't like the visual).
Anyone else with similar problem?
Did you look at notifications parameters - application - notifications ?
There is no "notifications parameters", but yes, I went to Settings - > Apps & notifications - > Notifications management - > Calendar and there all is allowed.
As I already wrote, strange thing is that sometimes notification appears, but that's random and very rare.

Ok that's what I wanted to tell you.
It's an known issue with some apps. Oreo or emui problem.
But a lot of calendar app works well.
So I'm surprised

Is the battery settings switched on to "power saving mode" ?
No.
Neither "Power sawing mode" nor "Ultra power sawing mode".
Watch comment on DAVdroid app and it appears some people have sync problem...
Ask to dev maybe...
The problem is not in DAVdroid, as it does his syncing well (I see that because new or changed entries are immediately on my nextcloud web).
Notifications come from Calendar application (in rare cases when they appear), and to be sure, I just created some test event in Phone account (not synced to anything), same result.

Few questions/checks, if you can:
1) What is your sw version of mobile phone?
2) Exact version of your Calendar app (Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Calendar and there it states that mine is 8.0.0.300)?
3) Do you use some sync with cloud (CardDAV, Google, etc.)?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sw version is 127-C432 if it what you mean by sw version
Mine is 8.0.0.300 too
I m using Google sync only
Almost everything like mine.
I guess next step would be reinstall the Calendar app, but as it's system app I probably can't do it without root.
Phone reset is also not an option as I already installed lot of stuff which I don't want to reinstall again.
I guess I should wait until next sw release and temporary stuck with DigiCal, which works good for now.

If you don't want to do a factory reset, you have to wait a new sw release for sure..
Did you try to wipe cache the phone or calendar app?
Just tried to clean cache of Calendar, first notification appeared, but second time still nothing.
Still, I think this is a good idea, later I'll try to clear data for Calendar and wrote if this will produce any progress.

Didn't help, clearing app data only removed settings for Calendar.
Well, I'm getting used to DigiCal+, for now it works as alternative.

Anyway DigiCal+ seems to be a good calendar !
Yep, it is
Only sad thing is that my previous phone (LG G5) has working and good calendar out of box, almost the same as DigiCal+, but I'll live with that

I updated to build 435 yesterday. Since then, the default calendar app crashes. Have tried rebooting.
I sync my calendar with outlook through google. There are some semi-advanced entries there, ie meetings with replies. However, problem persists when I disable that calendar from my outlook.
Calendar data is accessible for my agenda widget. Data shown on the widget is even updated when I add data to my google calendar.
Any clues on how to solve this?
Reinstall everything what is named Calendar
Cheers
I reinstalled CalendarProvider.apk and SemcCalendarLargeui.apk. Still doesn't work.
Immediately after installing SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, I clicked "open". This caused the same error.
Any further suggestions? Please?
Go to Applications, Manage applications. Select calendar, and clear cache. Worked for me.
Thanks!
I had to uninstall the apps proposed from the previous poster, then opening the applications menu to allow for display of all apps (not only 3rd party). Then I was able to clear the cache.

Thank you ! Worked like a charm.
However I noticed one problem .. I use three seperate calendars in google calendars color coded red, blue & yellow. After the update to the calendar application all three show as red . Previously all 3 calendars showed up with their respective separate colors
Did any one else notice or face this ?
It seems like I have to manually sync both gmail and calendars. Is any one else experiencing this?
Running latest update with launcher pro and rooted
i had the same problem, but dont quite remember solution, had to enable background data, and clear the cache on the gmail, thats all i can remember for now
i had this issue, when i accidentally disabled sync in the power control widget, then removed the widget. added the widget back, turned sync back on, removed the widget again.
I'll give that a shot.

Thanks so much! I was going through the exact same problem and going crazy!! Then I read your post and realized I played with (and uninstalled) SuperPower control widget yesterday also ... same deal, I guess I messed with the settings and somehow disabled syncing .. I now re-installed, turned syncing back on and removed program.. whew!!
I use the default android widget and turn on the sync option(the one with two arrow), it works for me.
Try it again by sending a email to yourself. See if it syncs
How do you clear the cache on Gmail? I have a bug where it still shows a mail count and deleting the message doesn't delete from my account so I have to use the web interface to actually delete messages. Hoping this would help?!

I've been racking my mind for 4 days now! Thanks sooo much for jogging my memory!
Hey Everyone,
I'm having the same issue with Gmail not syncing properly.
w/ Bell Mobility, rooted
The syncing icon is persistent in the status bar and nothing is happening. In the gmail app itself I will get proper unread message counts but the messages will not display. I have had to change my google password twice because it's getting "suspicious activity". I'm assuming this is being caused by the app. Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago.
I've tried clearing the cache and it will load it fine, once. After that same issue. I'm going to try clearing the cache and reinstalling the app to see if that makes a difference.
I've also tried disabling/enabled auto-sync and it hasn't made a difference either.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
UPDATE:
-- removed gmail updates from the market **No change**
-- it's still retrieving new e-mails but the sync icon in the status bar stays the same.. I have no idea what's going on now.
For awhile, my Facebook push notifications were working just fine until I had updated to Jelly Bean. I tried everything.. to clearing cache, data, uninstalling, and even the BlackBerry trick again (worked once before) and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they weren't working anymore. I thought maybe it was Facebook clashing with JB. I read everywhere and found out some people had no issues and some had some where every push notifications didn't work and some just Facebook.
Well I spend a day or so trying to figure it out and finally found a new, simple fix.
1) Open the Facebook app.
2) Tap on menu button on the top left
3) Account > Account Settings
4) Apps and Websites
5) Clear out Facebook related apps (Like Friendcaster or HTC Sense)
6) Clear data on the Facebook app and launch app
I noticed some off the apps in there have a push notification toggle button and I believe it was messing up the push notification system of there was to many to keep up with.
Once I spent 20 mins clearing those apps out, I cleared data and started the app notifications started working again. I didn't know it worked until someone wrote on my wall and I was shocked to see a notification!
I really hope this helps some of you out who have gave up looking for another fix.
If you're still not getting notifications, I'm sorry =(

Clear all those apps in that Facebook apps list.

Yeah, done that. Doesn't help
Sounds like all your notifications are broke. This is a fix just for Facebook while others are working.

After a whole day of looking around, here's the solution: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120318142032AA1GpzE (quote below). As a step-by-step:
1. log out of your Android Facebook app
2. clear app data
3. go to facebook on a PC and then account settings → security settings → active sessions and end all of them. (not sure if that's necessary, but it wouldn't hurt)
4. Log out
5. Now log in on the Android app and enjoy push notifications.
If you are logged into Facebook on a computer or other device, then your android phone won't sync, one way is to hit the social network widget and tap view all updates, then click on the refresh button, that is what I have to do to fix mine if I am logged into the computer, or you can just log out of facebook when you are wanting to use the phone.
This was caused by the latest update from Facebook's Mobile App, and unfortunately it affects not only facebook, but also twitter on the social network widget.

I have just tried this, along with uninstalling Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Friendcaster. They used to work perfectly. Now, they don't. I ess running the stock TouchWiz but now I'm on CM10. Could that be the problem? I will select the C2DM in Friendcaster, go through the process of entering my email and password, then nothing. It used to say that the registration was successful. Now it doesn't. I will then exit out of everything then go back in to check and the selection will be back to periodic polling.
it worked! Thank you very much!
Actually Solved
I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn't work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.
Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam.... Notifications I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but once you use an app and connect with Facebook everything will be there again. Worked with Cydia and all my paid apps were in my account again!
Hope this works for everyone to get their notifications back!!

If the problem is caused by an app, yes, it would. But for many that's not the root of the issue, so it's not correct to say it has nothing to do with… Anyway, thanks for contributing with a new solution.

No probs, but I have read through so many forums all having the Same problems and people always giving the same answers, restoring whole fone, getting new fone, updating software, clearing caches, reinstalling the app blah blah blah and the solution I have found fixed mine and many other devices, friends and other forums. So generally it's an app that they have connected to fb that has conflicted with notifications. Instead of going through 1 by one which I tried and everything else, turning off all then starting from scratch completely restored mine and brought it back to normal!

Hi
Found a solution that worked for me so thought I'd share here.
I was using FB 1.9.1 from an old Titanium Backup I kept on my Sgs1 and after setting up Zeam launcher and disabling some system and memory hogs like Google Play Svcs I thought I'd give the newer FB app a go.
Sure enough I stopped getting push notifications.
However rest of notifications on phone kept working, email, gtalk etc.
Then it occurred to me the push notification system might prefer to send notifications to the device rather than the account.
By which I mean every android device had an Android ID supposedly linked to the physical device itself.
I thought of this after noticing that whenever my phone should be popping up a notification that I just sent to mu account from another GB accpunt, namely a chat message, OS monitor would always show a peak of activity before relaxing again and nothing actually happening.
The rush was already happening when notifications were still working.
(I had previously used the newer fB app before and did get notifications to work.)
So i had a close look at Titanium Backup Account settings, and my Google Play store settings, and found out both were *not* using the *main* Google account my phone is linked to.
After which I set both G Mkt and Tit bkp to the right main Google account and immediately after, I updated FB app through G Market.
Hey presto, notifications came back!

I am assuming that anyone with this problem has at one point rooted and installed Blackmart, AdBlock, AdAway or Freedom. If not this may not work for you.
I installed Root Commander then went into \System\etc and deleted the hosts file. Using lucky patcher I cleared dalvik cache and rebooted. Then I factory reset my phone and VOILA all push notifications are now working after nearly 4 months. I hope you get your phones working without having to flash your ROM.

I had the same problem, i could not receive the push notification on my nexus 4 and also on my ipad and i think i finally figured out how to correct that. took a minute. log in on a desktop browser check your email notifications: It needs to be at least "important notifications". After that you should be able to open the app and select what kind of push notifications to receive. i am sure that will not help everyone as there are different things that can block push notification but it's still something to look into.
Hello guys
I noticed something strange opening the setting pane of my Google account. A screen shot is attached.
If I remember correctly, the last time I opened it there were no entries with a star beside them - basically, only sync App data, chrome, calendar, contact, Gmail, Google fit, people.
I installed a few apps recently, among which a calendar widget, chromer, chrome remote and the Google package (with voice search etc).
I tried to hunt down the reason why those 'new' entries are there uninstalling all of the apps I installed recently. Had no luck.
Also it seems that, if I disable, say, Sync location reporting and location history , it is enabled again at the following boot.
So the question : why they are there?
Thank you.

Does anyone else have an issue with Gmail notifications? Most of the time I receive no notifications about new email until I unlock the phone. Even then they do not always come in quickly. When I open the Gmail app they do come in.
Yes, they will "eventually" come in on their own but way later than they should. I have done every battery/data optimization/exception I can think of and find. This should NOT be happening in 2021! This is not a OnePlus phone and even then my 8T is not this bad. Also, the notification LED does not activate for Gmail while it does for Messages and WhatsApp. I have gone through every possible notification setting on the phone as well as for the Gmail app itself and made sure that using the LED was selected on them all. I hate that Gmail is installed as a system app! WHY???
Another interesting things is that Gmail is NOT listed as the default app. It is not even there as a selection. Messages is installed as a system app and it is listed as the default. WHY?
I am liking the phone, but not receiving notifications for such an essential feature as email is NOT GOOD!
The phone is causing Gmail to go into deep sleep when the screen is locked unnecessarily.
I may have found the solution. To start I went into Settings > accounts just to double check that the toggle for "Automatically sync app data" was turned on and it was. While in the same screen I tapped on my email account and then tapped on "Account sync", Here you can do a manual sync of all the various apps associated with your Google account. SO I tapped on the 3 dots in the top right and tapped on "Sync now" and the only thing that synced immediately was Contacts and maybe one other (can't remember which one. No matter how many times I would retry to do a manual sync the same thing would happen.
So I closed all of this out and went directly into the Gmail app > settings and chose my email account and scrolled down to "Sync Gmail" under the "Data usage" section and unchecked this setting. I rebooted the phone, went back into Gmail > settings my email and re-checked the "Sync Gmail" selection, rebooted again and went back into Settings > accounts > my email account > account sync and all the various apps listed in this section had now synced properly. I could tell by the time stamp for each one. I also did a manual sync again and everything in the list synced up within about 10 seconds! I was happy. I locked my phone, set it down, and within a minute or two I received several emails and the notification chime went off. I'm still not sure if the notification LED lit up or not but I think it did. Hopefully this fixes the issue.
Sometimes it isn't what is selected but the order in which you select things so as not to cause a conflict.
This is one area of Android that I think needs improvement (Samsung is the worst for this) that there are too many settings that seem redundant, counter intuitive, and conflict with one another.
Well, after writing all the previous entries I am still having the same issues with Gmail. On my OnePlus 8T every morning shortly after logging in my emails would come in without any prompting on my part. With my Xperia 1 iii I received NOTHING until I actually opened the Gmail app itself and sure enough there were about 5 emails that popped up! Something is very wrong here. I am not looking forward to a factory reset but I may have no choice. I will say this: If after a factory reset Gmail is still unresponsive I will definitely be sending this thing back!
Can confirm that there is something wrong with gmail. Just gmail. Ive tried 3rd party email apps and they work.
Totally understandable that you would prefer gmail over others. I too would actually prefer my gmail to work. I hope this is fixed in a firmware update.

Exactly! I decided to NOT do a factory reset because I feel that it would not help. Instead I just disabled Gmail and installed Bluemail. It has more settings than I care to mess with but at least all my email notifications arrive properly! I am glad that I am not the only one this is happening to. Is there some way to inform Sony directly that they have a problem? I liked it better when Gmail was a Play Store install! I DO NOT like it when ANY apps are installed as a service!
I chatted with Sony Tech support. They went through all the usual settings that I already tried several times. They escalated it so we will see what happens. One thing I have noticed, which may be relevant or not, is that with Blue Mail installed when I do get an email both Gmail and Blue Mail give a notification????
To me it sounds like you just need to whitelist the app in your battery saving settings.

Please, while I can appreciate the suggestion, do you think I did not already go through every possible setting and permutation in an attempt to resolve this issue? I am a retired IT Systems Engineer and I have used cell phones for so long it's not even funny. Not to mention there are others experiencing the exact same thing! However, I was forced to do a factory reset this morning so "maybe" things will start to work properly.
I have exact Gmail notification issue when I got my X1iii but the issue resolved after I upgraded to 61.0.A.11.92 this morning. After switched off Gmail sync off and on and turn on the notification on individual labels, the notification was back.
It might be the previous firmware used a bad GMSCore. My device is a XQ-BC62. BTW the install step 3 did take some time but my phone didn't stuck at that step and it went through.
I have different problem with gmail notifications. For some reason notifications are always coming when in the evening I plug in my phone for charging. After a moment gmail notifications are coming. And this happens all the time.
??? Sony?
Guys please treat everyone with respect.
We are here to help each other and exchange our experience. Not to offend each other.
Thank you.
I have had a few days now with the last update = .92 and so far it appears as if my Gmail notifications are coming in exactly as they should when the phone is locked. For sure much better than before the update. So whatever Sony did in this update (besides the security update) is working for me. The LED is also lighting up properly for Gmail! Good job Sony!
Gmail still does not sync automatically for me on the .92 update. Factory reset and it works for a bit but once after a while it stops. No amount of uninstalling GMS updates or clearing its data will get it working again, so I have no idea what happened.

Have to ask...you did give Gmail unlimited data? Also, you did set Gmail to "excepted" in battery settings?
Even the most experienced sometimes miss things.

Just to be sure, I went through and double checked that Gmail, Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework all had:
* Battery/Power-saving Feature: Excepted
* Unrestricted data: Enabled
Still didn't resolve my sync issues
Did you try this: settings > accounts > tap your email google account > account sync > has everything synced fairly recently? Any of them appear to be stuck, not spinning? Top right 3 dots sync now, does everything finish syncing?
Just adding that I noticed this problem after the .92 update. I'm not sure if its there before. So the .92 didn't solve the issue on my end, glad it solved yours.

I haven't had issues with gmail but I have had the kind of issues described in OP with other phone models and similar apps and the cause was a bit too eager battery optimization settings so I honestly thought it was the cause here too.
If it was not, then it is a shame I couldn't help.
But as a response to your comment: No. I don't think people here are idiots. I just think you are one.

You make it sound like you think people are idiots because as already mentioned in the FIRST POST, he already excepted his apps from battery optimization. If you still ask people if they have done so, you obviously think we are idiots, since you ask a question that has already been answered. Grow up please.
Edit: Here let me quote it for you:
I have done every battery/data optimization/exception I can think of and find.

Testing out a potential fix which seems to be working for now.
I found out that my phone backup isn't working either. Manually pressing the button, the backup keeps telling it failed and asks me to try again later. Searching online, there are some that suggest to remove the screen lock to see if backup starts working again.
After I removed my screen lock, I cleared cache/storage of Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and Gmail. Then I rebooted my phone and left it a while to let it fully boot. I can now backup my phone, and I am getting my Gmail notifications. Now I am observing to see if this is permanent..
If the fix is permanent, at least on my end, it seems that Sony's build of android has buggy encryption. This was an issue with other brands too.
Update on my problem. Firstly, after trying the above, I noticed a few days later that in general I wasn't getting notifications from anything. I concluded that I messed up Google Services too much and therefore factory reset my phone.
After that and readding my google account, My notifications was fixed, except Gmail still wasn't getting notifications, but phone backup started working. I was about to give up and use another email app, when today the September security update arrived in 61.0.A.14.3 update. Being desperate to try anything I updated without hesitation.
This seems to fix the problem and I am getting my gmail notifications.
Not getting my hopes up too much and just continue monitoring but I hope this the end of my google problems.
