This just started happening and I was wondering if it was just me. I have had my VZ TP2 for several months now and always get email and txt notification with a short vibration as per my settings.
Recently, I have noticed that the vibration notice seems to be getting longer.. Normally it vibrates for about 1 second when I get a notification. But now it seems to vibrate for 2 and 3 times that length. Earlier this morning I received an email and it vibrated for a good 5 seconds.
It seems to come and go - any thoughts?
It happens with my verizon touch pro 2 also. It also happened with my xv6800. I think it is a windows mobile problem.
In general section I remember saw a thread for modifying vibration patterns
Hope that helps
I have been having a similar issue. I have phoneweaver, I noticed when it is set to vibrate it gives me quick little vibrations, but when just set to normal i get the long. It is really annoying because when i get a call i have to answer and then wait for the vibrations to stop. I have been looking for an app that might fix this.
Anyone have a clue, I have done some searching but have turned up nothing useful.
worked on my TP2

I have SPRINT TP2 and I also have had problems with the vibrations. It is only with SMS. I have had the phone vibrate for over 1 minute until the phone it self rebooted. This has happened a few times since January. It had not happened bofore that. I have the stock SPRINT ROM on my phone.
Have you guys noticed any issues with push notifications like new email (Gmail)? For some reason I've noticed the phone reporting new emails and whatsapp messages that are old... often 10+ minutes old. And it seems like it decides to check for messages right after I turn the screen on to check the time or something, then they all come in at once. I have syncing enabled on everything and my N1/Vibrant/MT4G didn't have delays and I had the exact same setups...
I have open another post that I believe is similar to your problem. can you take a look?

So first off, I'd really prefer to use the stock messaging app over Handcent. I just like the feel and look of it better. However, I am having a rather annoying issue where notifications of new messages aren't coming through correctly. I have it set to turn on screen and open quick message on receipt, but usually the phone just vibrates and the screen turns on to the lock screen. Some times the screen doesn't come on at all. I'm currenly on the latest CM10 nightly, but remember this problem from when I was running stock (which was why I switched to Handcent in the first place).
Another thing I've noticed - this happens on Handcent and Stock Messaging App - is that in the quick message screen new messages appear twice or sometimes three times, but inside the app itself the message is only there once. I would love some help here.
Thanks!
I previously had a Galaxy S3. With the Facebook app, I would receive notifications just fine.
With my Nexus 5, some notifications come through, but some don't. For example, last night a friend posted something on my timeline and I got a notification about that instantly. Later on, I posted something on my timeline via my PC and then left the site. A few hours later I went back to Facebook and 3 people had commented on my post, but I hadn't received any notifications on my phone about it. I've checked the settings and I have all notifications turned on for Facebook.
Anyone else having issues like this? Notifications do work on the phone, but I've never had an issue like this before, where sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't.
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
