updates on App's ques - General Questions and Answers

What is the preferred procedure when I get notifications on my upper tool bar from PlayStore saying "Updates Available"? Does everyone update automatically or do U wait to see comments from others to see if there are any conflicts? Currently I have it set where it notifies me and not automatic updates.

I just leave it set to auto-update and not even notify me - life is too damn short to worry about it.

Q? Stop Market from Auto Update Downloaded apps

I noticed this morning (tnt 3.1.2) that some of my apps (like youtube) were updated automatically and then a notice popped up. I did go into market and change "notifications" to "no" but it does not say anything about turning off auto update. Am I missing something.
Thanks
Under Market settings for Notifications, I only have the options to:
1) Notify me
2) Do not notify me
I chose Notify me. I don't get automatic downloads.
On the apps that you do not want to get auto-updates, open them in the market app and make sure that the check box is cleared for "Allow Auto Updates"

That is the ticket! You have been thanked
Thought I'd point out I had a slightly different Market settings screen ('had' is the big word, it changed to be like 'normal' now with only the notifications options in it).
Before, mine had a setting above the notifications setting about Market filtering (I didn't touch it, though, was too busy and just thought I'd see what was there since this is the new Market screen).
It's gone now and can't get it back (I don't know what settings were under it).

Same thing happened to me! The filter was there one moment, and gone the next...
Perhaps a new beta feature not yet ready to be unlocked for all?

App notifications + Wifi? Some answers some questions

So I have stumbled across a bug that is rather frustrating. This bug was that I could not receive notifications in "real time"( if that makes sense) basically I mean very delayed. A fellow XDA member pointed me out to a thread that has a solution for this which goes as follows:
Settings-> Additional settings->Battery& performance -> Manage apps battery use->chose apps.
After that its pretty straight forward.
My current problem is that I still get delayed notifications in Wi-Fi. I have tested this out on about 10 different Wi-Fi networks. I am sure this is some stupid MiUi setting hidden somewhere making the phone go in a deep sleep state or a battery mode or something..
Before people start recommending installing CM, I am not interested in it, until CM bugs are fixed, Also this is not a solution that answers my question.
I hope the solution above has helped other people as it has for me, for the Wi-Fi issue any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome.. (Haven't tried the IPV4 thingie I read in XDA but that doesnt seem like a solution that I can apply when I am at someone elses house or out =/ )
About the notifications problem
I don't know if we are talking about the same issue, but I have seen delayed notifications on many phones and Android versions in the past. Also, the web is full of forums and sites where people complain about this. I think this is more a Google Cloud Messaging bug than a Xiaomi or Miui bug.
Maybe the people here suffering from this issue can try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer
Helped me in the past. You can chance the heartbeat of your internet connection to keep it alive.
I can't say if i have this issue because i didn't got much notifications in the last days. At least i didn't noticed something. Also my banking app notifies me immediately when i do banking stuff or pay somewhere.
Also, the people who gets disconnected when they turn off the screen on Miui, there is a setting in the security app under battery profiles which says by default "clear on lockscreen". Maybe making an own profile with a different setting helps here

In what settings? Security app or Push Notification Fixer app (in this app you just have to hit "apply settings" and reboot)

The "heartbeat interval" in the root -push notification fixer app I have no clue what that is or what happens if you increase or decrease it

You can read about it in the projects XDA-thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142503
I read about "heartbeat interval", but if the problem is it, notification should not work correctly even when screen is on. While it seems here we are speaking when the screen is off, right?

I made some research, and i wrote all settings that could be interesting. I write them here just to be sure all settings was checked.
These settings should be adjusted, besides your pushing apps (wapp, facebook,etc.), even for:
- Google Services Framework
- Google Account Manager
- Google Play services
- Google Play Store
Code:
1.Goto Security->Permissions->Autostart and give autostart permissions to the Google Services Framework,Google Account Manager and your Messaging apps like whatsapp,hike,etc.
2.Goto Security folder>permissions> and give permissions to each apps.
3.Goto Security->Data Usage->Data Usage Stats and Select your app . After that check if background data is enabled. If it is not enabled, enable it
4.Goto Security->Data Usage->Data Saver->Manage Apps and turn off optimization for the messaging apps.
5.Goto Settings>Additional Settings>Battery>Manage app battery usage, now disable/turn off the following options.
- Manage app battery usage
- Restrict apps when battery is low
Or
- Select "Choose apps to restrict" and unselect/untick the apps from the list
6.Goto security folder and click the check button.
7.If you have already opened these apps you will see these apps in the memory tab.
Click on the memory tab and uncheck these apps and any other apps you desire or you can simply go to recents panel and lock this app by swiping down.
8.Goto settings<security<locatIon<location acces<permissions<messenger<display pop up....
Finally reboot the device and check.
Do you hav adjuested all these checks? If yes, it is clear there is a GREAT bug in MIUI rom, or better miui kernel.
People, don't try nothing, this is simply a MIUI bug!!!
Read here: http://en.miui.com/thread-176743-1-1.html
Here http://en.miui.com/thread-182610-1-1.html is the bug, you can confirm it, so, maybe, a day MIUI team will fix it!

I don't even have any of these options on my Mi4C. For me it looks like all those Google apps are hidden? I can only change permissions or power settings for WhatsApp, can't find Google Services Framework etc
I only get WhatsApp messages reliably if my phone is unlocked and WhatsApp is open. And can only connect to WhatsApp Web if my phone unlocked and WhatsApp open.... Really frustrating.
Keep finding I've missed messages from hours ago cause they never showed up in notifications.
I've done everything here: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/android/20887936
Installed Push Notification Fixer
Still same problem. Must be MIUI bug

Once i set my apps that require push to Autostart it all worked.

notifications

None of my notifications do the normal heads up display on this phone even for the apps that have all options turned on under notifications. The icon just shows in the top bar. How do I fix
You have to enable Banner for the notifications on which you want heads up like notifications. To do this follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Notification panel & status bar
Open Notification centre/manager
Select your app from the list.
Enable Banners for the app you selected.
ENJOY!!
I hope this helps you.
It is like previous Huawei devices with notifications working only for a few selected apps (FB,Twitter,Whatsapp) or they finally fixed the problem and now everyone gets up even without the app being in the background?

add those apps in the protected apps section under battery manager in settings
Then is confirmed how is like other older huawei devices and the app don't get a notification if isn't open in the background even with all permission given?
Notifications are working perfect in every Huawei. Just set them right.
Did you tried protecting the apps?
I've done every step to make apps notifications work, they only work if opened in the background all the time, for some motive apps like twitter or facebook are in a white list who make them enabled to get notifications even when closed but games or unknown apps aren't in it.
I never got a notification from a minor app when it was closed, in 2 years I sue my Honor 8.
Now I discovered is because Huawei put some bull**** battery managment program in the phone who totally kills everything but their apps and some of the most famous and never fixed it.
I was hoping for the most recent devices to have a fix, Emui 5 or something but seems like they haven't changed their policy.
Go in Settings/app/advanced/ignore battery optimisation and add your apps.
Come on guys.
I wrote that I've done every step, notifications simply don't work.

Try manually updating your device by following below steps, your data will get lost so take a backup before.
Download latest firmware of your device.
Extract zip file and put the UPDATE.APP in the root of your external sdcard.
Press all the three hardware keys (Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button) simultaneously.
The update process will start.
You'll have your device like out of the box.
I hope this helps you.

My device (Honor 6) is updated to the latest version, I already done a clean restore, nothing changed, only popular apps get notifications, games, minor apps or not from the play store never get notifications. Every setting for getting them is on.

I think Honor is doing some tweaks to clean the background apps so that more RAM stays free, and the battery life gets longer.
If you were on Honor 7 I would have suggested DigiKernel v1.1 as I didn't have any issues of notification after flashing it.
I haven't touched the OS, no root, flash or mods, is clean...and doesn't work, I've heard of how Emui 5 should fix this bug but my device is out the list of the receivers.

I just signed up to say thank you for the solution. :victory:
This option is never mentioned on forums when people asking for solution to notification errors.
"Protecting apps" and " Notification centre/manager" did not help, when the appliction is not checked on the list you say.

Stock Oreo - disable persistent background app notification?

Postponing it 2 hours at a time is better than nothing, but this is kind of a stupid one to be permanent. I *know* Macrodroid is running in the background... I told it to.
Anyone know a way to disable with without root? Thanks

Did you have any trouble getting the profile to be active? I followed all the steps and my tasker matched the step 12 screenshot, but upon reboot I get the message saying "no profile active".

Exactly my experience too, if you haven't used tasker before it's pretty unclear.
This is the most ****ing annoying thing I have see in awhile. Is there a way for me to roll back to 7.1.2 on Verizon or get rid of this notification for good?
For the sake of battery life and the future of Android , instead of wasting time disable the notification , please take time to request the app developer update their app.
Google making this move to warn user which app consume your battery in the background. And the bad written app must be the target to blame , not Google.

Ironic, though, to see that GMail shows this notification. Just wanted to point that out. Not doubting that they'll release an update to address this.
I have to start the task after reboot again, then everything works. Also never used tasker before.

Certain apps are meant to run full time such as openvpn. This notification is just dumb
I use pie controls so that notification is always there for me as well. I found a root and non root way of disabling it, here on xda. Root way didn't work for me and I'm too lazy to set up tasker. I'm already used to hitting the 2 hour sleep on it. Plus it never shows an actual icon in the status bar.
It's not ideal, but you can also change that notification to low priority to push it lower in the notification shade.

There's a new app for that and it works great! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iboalali.sysnotifsnooze
I have a two step Tasker task, borrowed from another user. One tap and it is snoozed for years not just two hours.

Gmail notifications

OK, ever since the switch from Nougat to Oreo update I've lost all notifications from GMail. I've already done some research and tried some of the advised steps but am still at a loss. This is not phone specific as I actually to get a new phone since Oreo. Thoughts, suggestions?

Try settings
apps
select the app you want
(gmail )
scroll down to app settings
Notifications
if it shows blocked
then select and toggle switch to on
this will allow you to customise notifications for this app.
Hope this helps.
