[Q] Why do notifications stop working? - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hello,
I'm running on latest infused v1 for several months now and I am having problems with notifications going silent. I resolved the issue once before by wiping everything via cwm red cache options. It worked fine for a week or so. Today it started doing it again and a simple reboot fixed it.
Are there any other tips you guys can provide so that this issue wont happen again?
It sucks missing an important message . Thanks in advance

I've decided to look for an app that soft reboots my phone daily. Hopefully that will prevent my notification alerts going silent. Thanks for looking!

[Q] CM7 Notifications go silent

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with notifications going silent on CM7?
I searched and found a couple of threads about the issue, but no fix or workaround was mentioned.
I had the problem before on my EVO as well, so I wonder if it's an app I'm installing. The only constant between the 2 phones was CM7. I have tried updating to the nightlies and it still occurs.
Basically, I boot up my phone. Get a message or email notification and all is working well. I then go about my day and notice I have a few more messages but no sound was made. Now notifications will remain silent until I reboot once more, and the cycle starts all over again. Sometimes they work longer, sometimes I get 1 notification and all others are silent again.
What I've tried:
I tried messing with a profile to see if that was causing issues. No go...
I have tried switching to Oxygen which worked great but I had to switch back to CM7 because MMS did not work for me at all on that rom. MIUI also worked well but I have some contacts I like sending directly to VM and their DND did not allow that, just silent ring and answer/hangup, so back I go to CM...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks so much!
I did notice the same thing on my Nexus S 4G! I was running CM7, as well. And a reboot seemed to fix it.
Never solved what caused it, but it didn't happen often enough to where it was a big concern of mine.
Yea a reboot fixes it for me too, but then it will happen again. I wonder why that is. Maybe it's something I'm doing?
Did you guys ever find a solution for this aside from rebooting? This has happened to my samsung infuse (running on infused 1.5) a few times already and it is pretty frustrating. I believe it's happened a few times on the stock rom as well. I've tried uninstalling programs one by one to see if I can find the culprit, but no dice. It just doesn't happen consistently enough for me to pinpoint the app or problem. Thanks in advance!

[Q] Inspire suddenly stopped vibrating w/SMS

Seems to be somewhat common but no fix to be found...
Using CM7.1
Was working perfectly for a month.
Seemed to happen out of no where, no new apps installed or settings changed. The phone will vibrate for incoming calls, haptic, everything except SMS.
Using GoSMS but it does the same with the stock messanging app. Vibration is turned on in all the system and messanging settings. In fact, when I test settings in GoSMS it reports "vibration on".
Tried clearing the dalvik cache and tried installing this app but it won't show anywhere in the app drawer and I can't find it anywhere on the phone despite the market saying its installed. Unfortunate becasue it seems this app was designed for this very issue with desire/insprire.
Anyone have a fix for this or a method I could get the above app to install properly?
Thanks.
edit.....It's looking like an app issue......
never mind on the rom repair part....sorry
mods can delete....g
Gregsarg was actually probably right the first time. It doesn't seem to be an APP issue (as all MMS apps have the same lack of vibrate), but a broader issue.
His suggestion to install CM7 on top of itself is likely the simplest attempt at solution since you haven't found a specific solution through your searches.
I also tried the GoodVibrations.apk and it only shows in airdroid, mybackup, and managing all apps... It doesn't even have the 'open' command on the market menu after installing it >.>

Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't see this suggestion before it was edited out. What exactly is meant by install CM7 on top of itself? Through clockwork I presume?
Yeah, just flash the SAME rom again (after backing up AND without wiping anything), and your settings should stay in place.
There is also a setting in the stock CM sms app that controls vibration, which is turned off by default.
Yeah vibrate in the stock SMS program is on. While I haven't gotten around to reflashing just yet I have noticed a few other things that lead me to believe its a ROM issue. Sometimes when I put the phone on silent it turns off all system vibrations even after coming off silent. I have to go back in and turn vibration back on. This is intermittent. Also, out of the blue the phone started vibrating during calls, come to find out "vibrate every 45 seconds during outgoing calls" was magically turned on.
It WILL vibrate when an SMS arrives if I'm on a call. Swell.
Flashed the new 7.2 nightly and the problem still exists. Everything remained intact after the flash so I figure I'll just do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the new nightly again and start over. Hopefully whatever caused this won't carry over with titanium restoring apps.
Do the full wipe, install the rom... then get a friend to send you text messages BEFORE you restore from Titanium, and then after....
Easy to isolate if you're carrying the issue from ROM to ROM.
Had the same issue, could find no fix. Used vibrate tools from the market and no issues for a week or so now..

That did it thanks! Saved me from having to do a full wipe. Phone is back to vibrating with SMS and I can change the vibration pattern. Nice.
Cool, glad it worked for you. I really wish I knew what happened though, it's kind of bugging me.
Meh, technology..

Well I'll add this... Out of curiosity I removed the vibrate tools app and everything is still operating as designed. So whatever that app turned on has stuck.

[Q] Phone only rings for about one second and then stops.

After upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed when recieving a call that sometimes my phone will ring for about 1 second and then stop but continue to vibrate. I am not using any quick cover or anything. This doesnt happen all the time but it does happen quite often. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stock on 5.0 (i have deleted my cache partition and the problem still persists)

Are you using a custom ringtone?

No, just the stock tones. I find it happening sometimes with my SMS messages as well but not all the time.
Update: I have since unlocked my bootloader (wiped) and rooted my phone and the problem still persist. Seems like I'm not alone, I have starred this so hopefully someone can see it. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81178#makechanges
Anyone have any suggestions that I could try?
update
I had thought I had fixed the problem by re flashing the stock image of lollipop, the problem went away and my phone started to ring again but shortly its back to only vibrating. I noticed that the little vibrate symbol was popping up in the status bar whenever I received a call, even when I turned off the also vibrate for calls option. I then remembered that when I use the volume butler app and set it to my vibrate profile that symbol would also pop up. I uninstalled volume butler and everything seemed to be working fine. Next I Checked the play store for comments regarding the issue and I noticed two things: There was a recent fix "ringtone changing to silent upon first install" and it said that the app was installed onto my device and not requiring an update even though I had just uninstalled it. So I decided to open it up and it was as if I was starting the app for the first time as none of my previous data was in there for testing purposes I decided to set up the same profiles that I had before and try calling my phone and my phone rang like it should, weird. Perhaps I had two versions and that was the one that I originally uninstalled is that even possible?( I could have sworn I had updated it,as it was under the up to date app list) Regardless, I uninstalled it again and everything is still working as it should. Hoping that this was was the culprit I will continue to test my phone and see.

Calendar notifications sometimes stop working

Hi everyone,
I'm running 6.0.1 and recently performed a hard reset and cleared caches to try and resolve the problem.
Did not resolve. Also disabled power managment for apps. Problem persists.
Whenever a calendar event is skipped (by the device) all future events stop working and I have to reboot to get the alerts back.
Mostly the problem comes when there is one emty day, but it also happened when I got a notification in the morning and in the evening nothing anymore.
Thus I thought it could be powersaving related, but powersaving is disabled.
It's really driving me crazy, my calendar is verry important to me as I tend to forget things.
Anyone knows how to resolve the problem ?
How to debug ?
Your input is verry much appreciated.
Thanks.

No Notifications / Won't Stay Off

Hi all,
Anyone else having/had problems with not getting notifications for certain apps? For instance - Instagram gives no notifications at all and I've turned off all the optimization I can think of and other apps are not having the issues.
I also am having issues where I explicitly turn off certain notifications and they keep turning themselves back on...
Very annoying.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes, same problem here, telegram not showing notifications when sent. What a downgrade this OxygenOS 11, had a Oneplus 7 Pro and didn't have any of these problems.
I´ll try flashing another ROM since I tried everything I could with Oxygen 11... Kinda disappointed from this one.

Im having the same issue with Snapchat, and only snapchat. No notifications what so ever.
I tried wiping the data/cache of Instagram and it seems to have worked.
Try on Snapchat and see if that works.
I actually had it happen to Snapchat first but had to factory reset at one point and it worked from then on.
Not sure if other apps are doing it just yet to test whether this is a definite fix.
