Phantom Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Every now and again, maybe twice a day, I get a notification tone that is cut short, like it's interrupted.
When I look, there's nothing in the notification panel?
Strange and annoying!

I'm with Optus, but good to know I'm not alone.....

I've been having this happen to me where I pull the phone out off my pocket either to answer a phone call, or with my bt headset to see this calling and I see the notification on the screen, but it doesn't give me enough time to read it, it just disappears. I'm on US/at&t .

Its not only weather app, it's basically all apps that can run in the background. For example there's an app voice notify, it can record all notifications and speak it loud. So it does, but when I take the phone out of my pocket, I see no notifications from that app. Also I believe that has something to do with battery drain

Today I had my phone on my shirt pocket and as soon as I finished a phone call, I looked at it and was able to catch the top of it and it said touch input and something else, so I'm thinking the screen is detecting touch while on pocket when the screen wakes up so is giving that notification. Not sure what else it says. Too dam quick to read all.

Background data disables itself

Hi,
On my Razr I every now and then get a message that background data has been deactivated when I'm starting Google play, however I never disable it. I go inte options (as the message tells me to) and I see that background data has been disabled, I activate it but after it while it deactiviates itself. Very irritating.
That's interesting. Are you on ICS?

Smart Actions
i think the other users are 100% correct. i had the same problem and it was indeed smart actions. at first i thought it was a great app, but ultimately stopped using it. the battery life on the device is so good that i can have on the wifi / gps / 3g / bluetooth and the battery still lasts until bedtime.
i was suprised that smart actions would let you disable background data...

In vibration mode, all those settings get greyed out. And by default it SHOULD vibrate for incoming calls and notifications right? I don't want it to vibrate in normal mode... I can't get it to vibrate in vibration mode however.. For some reason it automatically goes to "silent mode" upon receiving a call, though I kept it in vibration mode... I just tested it.. makes me go mad!
It is possible that an app I am using (Profile Scheduler) is messing things up...

I would definitely try disabling the app and seeing if that solves the problem. I had a similar issue with my phone not going into vibrate mode. I eventually traced the issue back to an app I was using for different vibration patterns for SMS messages. It had a option buried deep in the settings to disable all system vibrations and that was preventing my phone from vibrating when receiving phone calls.
I had the same problem
It's definitely profile scheduler, I used the same app and experienced the same problem. I spent hours digging through all the settings and experimenting with all configurations without getting the vibration to work properly. During my trials, I noticed on the tray that the icon was set to the vibration setting and when calls came in, it would switch to the no sound icon. It drive me nuts up until I removed the app (which I love the capability and features it provided). So far no problems, but I do miss profile scheduler.

Hurray! It now works perfect without that app... But sad to see that app go.. It was so useful. Any alternates that can help? Or, may be once we get root, we can rectify it.
Option to Profile Scheduler
I went back to Timeriffic, it's an app that you can schedule certain functions to operate at set times. The other is "Profile" by noimjosh. This app is closest in function to Profile Scheduler and I used it for many years on my DINC. But once I upgraded to the DINC4 with ICS and this app didn't work properly any more. To make matters worse, the developer stopped updating the app. The problem was; similar to Profile Scheduler, the vibration setting stopped operating properly.

Have you considered notifying the developer of profile schedule about the bug that causes that issue? Maybe they could find the problem and fix it and you'd be able to keep using the app.

Whatsapp losing connection to the servers?

Basically this picture explains the problem in a nutshell, if I am on whatsapp and I minimize it for a while or if I set the phone to go in standby after around about 10 minutes the phone will supposedly lose connection to the whatsapp servers and not be able to receive any messages. If I come onto whatsapp and check at this time it will basically say I was seen the last time I opened whatsapp, I will not be able to see the last seen of any of my contacts, and not be able to send or receive messages. The only way I've found to fix this temporarily is to toggle airplane mode and then again whatsapp will work until I go to standby or something. I'm not sure why it's doing it it never used to do it a few months a go I'm confident I'm not the only one with this problem I've tried push notifications fixer nothing seems to help it is just losing connection to whatsapp when in standby and I have no idea why.. it's driving my crazy because I'm not getting my messages and people think I'm ignoring them and its just making whatsapp really unreliable .. anyone got any help on how to fix this? !

I do have greenify installed but effect only on maps and similar.
losing connection with only one contact
I have been using WhatsApp for a long time but lately I am having problems with one specific contact.
Sometimes I am talking with this contact and suddenly it stops, the last seen information also disappears and any message that I send get the one check mark, so it stays in the server and do not reach the other recipient. When eventually the contact comes back any message sitting in the server never is sent.
Nobody loses internet connection and all other contacts work just fine in this same period.
The same problem occurs on her side at the same time. I disappear to her.
None of us block, it just happen during conversations or sometimes we go into WhatsApp and the contact is blank it out with only the name available.
We tried cleaning the app cache, force stop, restart the phone, recreate the contact and not solves the problem. Eventually it comes back, sometimes stay on for a few hours or a couple of days, then stops. Sometimes it stays off for a couple of hours and come back, sometimes it take days to come back.
Again it is only with one specific contact, all others works just fine. This problem starts to happen about 2 or 3 months ago and it is aggravating.
The big problem is the one I need the most and vice versa.
We both use android.
Please, we need help.
Having the same exact problem, definitely frustrating as hell

Vibration stopped working

Not that it was ever strong, but my vibration completely stopped working today. It locked up for a minute or so when I swiped away a notification, then came up with a message that Android Wear had to be closed. Since then, no vibration. Not when I pull down from the top to mute or turn it on, never.
So far I have:
unpair/repair
restarted
Restore to factory settings
cleared data from the Wear app
deleted all wear apps
uninstalled and resinstalled wear app
I'm out of ideas. I'm thinking that something is physically broken. Any ideas?

You can try to reflash the stock image, but that sound like a hardware problem to me :/

Like I said, it doesn't even vibrate when turning mute on and off, so no, it's not on mute. Looks like a hardware issue.
Have you reset the watch, either from the menu or by using the reset button?

So "Restore to factory settings" was performed on the watch. I guess I see.
I had this happen to me today at work. I would receive texts and the watch wasn't vibrating. As soon as I restarted the watch everything was working fine again.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Same problem here, since this morning :'(
did you find something to do ?
Nope, it did start working again after a few days and it continues to go off and on for a day or more at a time. I need to call and get an rma.
the same problem, after using 1 day, the vibration doesn't work anymore and I can't find any solutions.
It seems that this isn't a hardware problem
Same problem
My watch is also no longer vibrating on notifications. Let me know if there is a solution to this.
Mine just magically solved itself.

It literally just started working again o to its own? I'm having this same issue on two different watches. Thought it was my Moto 360 since I just got it but it appears to be happening on my LG G Watch that I've had since launch with no issue also. No clue how or why this started but kinda defeats a major purpose of the having the watch...
Positive Vibrations
Yup. One day it magically started again and stayed working.

Notification on / off auto settings

Hi finally got my edge today. Loving it all ready.
I need a way of setting notifications by time meaning the phone auto switches to mute at a certain time on certain days then goes back to on in the morning at a certain time. Does anyone have recommendations please.

do not disturb will do that for you in sounds and notifications
Thanks that's about 90% what I'm after. It would be great to be able to add certain contacts instead of all or favourite etc.
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
Same here! I don't really use the 'Favorites' feature, but I had to reset all of them so that this feature would work.
There a software name Audio manager pro as I remember, try searching it. Good luck!
Did anyone find a way of using do not disturb to mute notifications? It seems less reliable for third party apps.
There is also Phone weaver, It does everything you said. The only strange issue is when you switch in airplane mode, manually or automatically, only wifi go off, the phone radio doesn't!
There is a trial version too!
