Question: Twidroyd Background Notification - Android Apps and Games

Erm, I may not receiving notifications despite having "Background Notifications" ticked. I believe because after a while, the app is being killed in the background and it does restart again to get notifications. I am NOT using any task killer app. So just wondering why is there such an option for "Background Notifications" when it doesn't work after a while? Is other Twitter apps also facing this issue? Or how do you solve such a problem? Because I remember trying the Official App and even Plume and Tweetcaster but all the same = i.e. no notifications after a while.

Oreo - Android System Notification - Lastpass is running in the background.

Since Oreo I have this notification "Android System Notification - Lastpass is running in the background.!"
All I can do is snooze it for up to 2 hours, clicking the notification takes me to the app settings and everything is ok and it is ticked to allow running in the background.
How can I stop this from appearing?
I don't find anyway to stop this notification every 2 hours.
You can use below app until we get 8.1, where this notification can be finally disabled in notification channels settings for Android System app (switch is greyed out in 8.0).

Great, I'll give it a go.
Thanks

It does it with a bunch of other system notifications. For example the VPN notification bar (system notification, not the app) is also persistent, apart from the snooze.
That app seems oddly specific btw. Can't try it out right now but I assume it won't work for other system notifications?
Edit: had a better look at the pictures and it seems the VPN thing might be snoozable through that app after all.

Mi Mix 3 Notification Issues

I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks
For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?
The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.
Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

LOL. Stop fat-shaming it! Weight was one of my biggest concerns coming from a Galaxy S5, and the MM3 is heavy, but you do get used to it after a couple of weeks.

Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.
The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.
I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.
I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

Question LenovoServices is running

The past few updates and now this "Lenovo Services" app is now constantly running. I've tried to force stop it; nope. I can't "mute" the notification.
Any of you even know what this app is? When did it get installed and for what purpose is it there?
Thanks.

I've been regularly updating (Xiaoxin Pad Pro / P11 Pro) but never encountered "Lenovo Services". I do have "Device Service" (package name com.lenovo.lsf.device) which wants to connect to AliCloud in Germany a couple of times per day. I don't allow it on my software firewall (currently NoRoot Firewall), so no notifications from there.

I just double-checked and it is indeed there. I will post a screenshot if that helps you. Furthermore, I'm unable to uninstall it or remove the notification that it is running.
I checked the app, and it has no permissions granted other than "draw over other apps" but nothing for storage or location or contacts.
I'm on a US device if that makes a difference. Someone here must have the same thing I would assume?
I do have the same service running on mine and unable to hide it from notifications.
Time to go play in the Registry...
At least there is a way to "hide it" see here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo...ervices-is-Running/m-p/5083807?page=2#5447336
swipe down to see the "LenovoServices is running" notification and tap on it, it goes to the app settings page
Here you have 2 options
tap on Force Stop, it stops the notification but also the service itself (which is probably not a big problem, I've received an update, today, with this service killed). No notification in the status bar, no notification in the pull-down
Or
tap Notifications, DownloadService
there you see two main options, Alerting and Silent, it's on Alerting
switch to Silent and tap Minimise, notification gone from status bar but it's still in the pull-down, service still running

Good info. Thanks. Although still no explanation as to what it's doing or, how it got on there in the first place.

Question Watch not getting messaging notifications

So my watch is paired with a Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro, and whenever I get a notification like an email it appears on the watch instantly and works perfectly, but stuff like WhatsApp, Signal or SMS just never appears, like it never even detected it.
I enabled all apps in Galaxy Wear app on my phone and triple checked if those apps are enabled and made sure none of the other options would affect the ability to receive notifications, I tried using the watch with MUIU Optimization on the phone turned on and off and it doesn't make a difference. I have the latest software update for the watch.
Does anyone have any guesses as to why this is happening and maybe how to fix it? Thanks.
Check your settings under notifications in the wearable app to make sure they're enabled. Also make sure your messaging apps are set to alert on your phone. I get that you probably already did this but other than that, there's not too many places to check.
I did everything, the apps are enabled and they show up on phone as expected, the problem is that on the Wear app the notifications from messaging don't even show up on "recent notifications" which I don't see why that would happen. Thank you for the suggestion.

I've had similar issues I've dealt with this in the past. If all notifications work except for social notifications it's always a setting issue. Good luck.
You have "Show Notifications Even When Phone In Use" and " show with details" on?
Also you don't have an app that is intercepting your social notifications?
Also your social notifications are set to "Alert" on your phone? Not silent?

I have "Show notifications even when phone in use" and "Show with details" on. I shouldn't have anything intercepting my social notifications, I also turned on "Show notifications and content" before I had it set to "Show only notification without content". I set social apps to alert on my phone, they still do not show up as recent notification in the Wear app or appear on the watch.
And I'm almost positive it's something on my phone because when I try with my roommates to connect to the watch the notifications actually work and he has a Xiaomi Mi Note 10, I checked his settings with mine and they're identical so I'm not sure what's the issue, there may be something with my MUIU (MUIU Version 12.5.4.0 Global, Android 11)?

Which apps specifically are giving you issues? ALL notifications with a reply action? If so, I would verify that your Conversation notifications are configured correctly
Okay I semi fixed it somehow, here how it got semi fixed, not sure if all steps are needed but that's what I did:
I turned on MUIU optimization, then turned it off which reset all pernissions, went to the Wearable app and the Galaxy Watch 4 plugin and gave them all permission, went to the notification access settings, disabled everything besides the Galaxy Watch4 Plugin then disabled and enable the plugin and notification appeared on my watch.
The problem is that they work immediately after enabling notification access but 30 seconds after and I don't get them anymore and I'm back to the previous problem. Now this is a problem with MUIU which I don't know how to fix, I guess it doesn't want to remember that I gave the app notification access. If someone knows how fix this last step I would be really grateful.

Yes all apps with a reply action, as written in the reply above I did find a way to semi fix it, I was even able to reply to those notification, but the MUIU notification access issue still persists. Searching on the internet didn't give me any meaningful results.
I factory reset my phone, set all the settings the same way and it works..
Disappointment.

OOS 12 upgrade- all app notifications turned off by default?

So I upgraded to OOS12, i did a factory wipe as well to start fresh. Noticed odd stuff, like I wasn't getting text message notifications, they were coming in but notifications were set only to show up in the status bar not notify me. Then weird stuff like my alarm didn't wake me up this morning- the clock app was set not to notify me at all!
I found the manage notifications, almost all apps were set to off. A few odd ones were on, Facebook was on, "My Files" was on...is there some reason why this is? I know there's a big push now to not have so many notifications on our phones...but it's very frustrating as I actually use my phone for work and productivity, and most of my notifications are important. I'd rather have them all on and turn off the ones that are annoying, but I don't see a setting?
