[Q] SMS notification only working when i unlock my screen. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i get no notification LED or sound when i receive a message. but, when i unlock my phone, instantly the LED and sound go off, and in the message in hangouts it will show how long before the message was actually sent (eg. 6 mins ago). i'm running 4.4.2 stock/rooted. seems like a new problem since the update from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2, and the only other thing i can think of that changed was i installed xposed framework and a couple modules that didn't have anything to do with notifications, then i uninstalled everything when i realized it wasn't going to be able to do what i thought. any thoughts?

[Q] led notification light blink constantly

Please help. My notification light is continuously blinking blue and green. I have no new notifications. List is clear.
I have rebooted several times, gone to ART and then back to dalvik and turned led notification on and off several times. I'm stumped
Mine doesn't work at all so you're 1 up on me. Or maybe not? Mine blinks blue when waking it up. That's it. I figure it's just flaky.
Well I ended up flashing stock firmware and its back to normal.
So it blinks with notifications? Mine isn't rooted but I'm not running the stock mms or email so that's probably why. Always worked on other phones though.
Funny thing is that first G3 had led notifications but they were very slow, I used a 3rd party app to speed them up.
My replacement G3 seems to be working as I expect, ie. text message has the led blinking once every second or so.
I think I'll wait a little while but I think it's my third party stuff that hasn't been updated to work with the phone.
I'm using handcent with no trouble.
Every thing is working as it should. Must have been a weird glitch.
I'll try it. I've used it before and it's ok.
(EDIT) Yep, it works. I figured it was GOsms that needs to update their software. Thanks!

[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.

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?

No Push notification when app is not running.

Has anyone figured out the solution for notification issue on Mate 9 AL00.
Currently on: B153
Android Authority said today that an update is coming to fix that, but I haven't read that anywhere else.
They said it in the article about Mate 9 issues and how to fix them, also the touchscreen issue.

Notification bug:
The aggressive RAM management and battery optimizations that cause the issue with third party launchers (mentioned above) also results in notifications not coming through. An update to fix this problem is rolling out now, and you should receive it shortly.

I've got the same problem with AL29 B126.
In fact if I don't receive notifications after some hours the system will close automatically the app.

where did you get B183 Im still on B175 in my AL00 and Im able to receive notifications once I locked the apps I want to receive notifications from
I hate being that guy but for the record I have no notification issues.
I've set Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Trigger, etc. to not close on screen lock and after a month of owning it I guess EMUI's learning algorithm got a hang of how I use my device and now it never kills those processes from memory.
I did find that after not using WhatsApp for a couple of months it DID start killing it from memory so it does seem to be constantly evaluating my usage patterns.
I'm on B156.

Hallo, last night I received B182 update , install it , and now everything seems to be solved
I briefly want to describe my experience to help those who are getting crazy with that issue like us .
Got my Mate 9 one week ago and immediately get the bad experience of notification problems (Whatsapp at first, Telegram later. I'm not a Fb user) . Delay of all notifications when the phone were in stand by mode (screen off) after 10 minutes. I've tried ALL that was described in the several forums I searched to solve the issue and that you confirmed: NO WAY to get rid of that
I've noticed that when the function - "app gemella" sorry- "dual app" was on (I use two sim's and whatsapp account) the problem was really big. I tried phone hard reset, reinstall latest version of Whatsapp apk but nothing changed. Yesterday I contacted Huawei service assistance but they were only able to tell me to wait for an upgrade that fix this bug... They even didn't know when the upgrade could sort...
And magically , last night , it came the new MHA-L29C432 B182 . The phone seems to be re-born , very fast and reliable in giving all the notifications I got.. If I think that I was about to sell it...
it was working fine with me on B186 (chinese version) but after fw update to B213 gapps notification and auto sync are acting up, sometimes I got some notifications but not all the time, I re-applied all the settings as described in other forums and still issues is not fix
Update: after reapplying notifications and permissions settings to the apps I want to get notifications, deleting and adding my google accounts, lock them in my phone, complete depleting my phone battery and charge it again..my phone is back to normal again, battery last the usual 2 days under moderate/high usage, notifications and autosync working, not sure but I'm under the impression that after a major update it takes some time to the AI of the phone to get back to what it used to be or maybe I was just lucky, still Mate 9 rocks !!!

Not sure if my issue is the same but I'm losing notifications randomly. I've tried loads of things also from forums but it seems without any lasting success. However after a restart I'm keeping the notifications for the moment and they're not randomly disappearing.
Not sure if this is of any lasting help mind and that they will again start disappearing randomly.
My next step is a factory reset but what a pain that is!
I'm on B182.
Update: so far so good. I now have notifications that are 12hrs old and still visible. I'm wondering that if you make settings changes, they aren't picked up unless you do a restart!?

EMUI 9 WhatsApp notification problem

My phone, a Huawei mate 9 MHA-L29C636, received the Android Pie update (B159) 3 days ago and everything was working fine.
Since yesterday though, completely out of the blue, my WhatsApp notifications misbehave.
In my settings I had and still have a notification sound and default vibration set.
Now though when I receive an incoming message the LED does not light up, there is no icon in the notification bar, there is no incoming sound and there is nothing inside the notification panel but there is a vibration. This vibration though is not just once like it should be but it keeps on vibrating until I manually open WhatsApp​ and open the incoming message.
If my phone is not in my pocket and I don't notice the vibration it discharges all the battery.
I tried all the notification switches that Android pie has to offer but to no avail. Then I completely uninstalled WhatsApp, rebooted my phone and reinstalled it from the play store but the issue remains.
So I had the bright idea to try to install WhatsApp for business as a completely new app that has never been installed neither on my phone nor associated to my Google account on the playstore, using my second SIM as phone number.
You won't believe it, also this fresh installation has exactly the same issues.
Anybody experiencing similar problems?
Same to me

I suppose you are using also the app GRAVITY SCREEN ON/OFF, right?
The update from 2 days ago broke the WhatsApp notification. There was another update this morning and now everything is back to normal. Happy happy..
Right!!!
Omg, thank you for this Quick response.

You don't need to uninstall it, just update to the latest version from this morning. Now both gravity and whatsapp are working fine together again
