viber notification popups (and the lack thereof) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

does anyone else have the issue where the viber popups at the top of the screen dont appear? I dont know whether there are other apps that exhibit the same behavior but for me it's only viber which rings and I only get the icon at the top. there was an update yesterday and they were working for about an hour but then stopped on their own all of a sudden.
is this a known issue, do we have a workaround or what? its bugging me

[Q] Skype Notification

The ongoing Skype notification on my tablet is fine and I do not wish to remove it like many other threads state, but today I updated Skype for my Eee Pad and the initial 'Skype Signed in' ticker that displays when you sign in repeatedly pops up in the bottom corner while in the app, if you are typing at the time the notification ticker text pops up the keyboard input freezes interrupting your typing. This is very annoying as while in the app the ticker pops up every 10 - 40 seconds roughly, and while in other apps when Skype is open in the background it pops up every few minutes.
Its not like Skype is losing connection either and simply telling me it has reconnected because I have asked people while this problem is occurring and they report I have a constant connection their end not alerting them that I have suddenly signed out or anything. I am also conne ted to a strong wifi signal too. Does anyone else have this issue with the latest version for Skype on their tablets?
Working fine here, haven't had any keyboard freeze up or anything special.
same here
yes! am having the exact same problem & it's very very annoying, don't know what causes it, if any one have the solution i would be grateful.
BTW: it happened even before the last update, is there a way to disable only skype notification.
You're not alone, I have it too. Could it be Honeycomb specific? Because I don't have it on my phone or ViewSonic.
I'm so glad its not just me. I will check to see if my phone has the same issue with Skype, but I do think its Honeycomb specific...

[Q] Not Receiving Calls/SMS Bug Update

There are a couple threads on this subject but they are all little detail and dead. The links below describe in detail this bug. Is anyone else experiencing/fixed this issue? I am currently running a Tasker task to disable wifi when my screen goes off, which lets calls/sms in most of the time. Every now and then I have to make a call to force texts to come through still.

There seems to be a lot of people with the issue but nothing is coming of it.

[Q] Hangouts doesn't notify me unless I exit a thread

/I've never had this problem with Hangouts before, but now if I am SMSing a person, and I put my phone down, I won't get any notification of their next texts, even if my screen goes to sleep. I keep missing messages because of this and it just started happening recently, since I got my new Note Edge. (Though, I also updated all my apps with the new phone, so it could be an app update and not something in particular with the phone. ) My GF says she is having a similar problem actually. Any settings I'm missing or fixes I need to look into? Also, is there a way to get persistent notifications back?
I've noticed this as well. Annoying

facebook app notification sound retention on nougat - anyone have problems with this?

My S7 edge is running android 7.0. The latest release of the facebook app will not *stick* the notification sound I've selected under the app's notification settings. It stays on the sound/ringtone I've selected only until I reboot the device or force stop the app. I've tried clearing the cache and deleting the data - no change. I've also tried reinstalling the app - no change.
Is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this behavior on their device?
Thanks
In response to my own post -which often happens here on xda- my issue has been resolved. As it turns out, the latest public release of Facebook (v132.0.0.20.85) is seemingly plagued by a bug that reverts the app's user-selected notification sound. Apparently, however, not many folks are upset about this, since there's virtually nothing posted about it anywhere. It bothers me because I like unique notification sounds for each of my apps. That way I can tell which app has received a new message without looking at my phone's screen - it can be handy.
To resolve the problem, I simply downloaded and installed the beta version of Facebook (v133.0.0.16.83). I then tested it, and voilĂ  ... the notification sticking problem was history. It would've been nice had someone replied in this thread to let me know that their installation of the most recent public Facebook app was afflicted with the same bug. That way I could have deduced how to fix the issue much sooner. But I guess it's a lot of trouble for most folks to simply type, "mine does that, too." Admittedly, it's not a huge issue... but it's certainly an irritant.

Notifications problem

I'm having some issues with notifications on this phone. It often just doesn't notify me at all!
Sometimes I go into whatsapp and there are new messages but no notification in the top bar at all. Additionally, I have 2 smart watches (a pebble one and a cheap chinese one) and these both work for showing notifications but only for about an hour after installing the app, after that, nothing until I reinstall the specific app. I have told the phone not to optimise battery for the smart watch apps but it made no difference. I've had this happen with text messages, whatsapp, gmail and ring. It seems that this phone just has a real issue with notifications! Has anyone else experianced this sort of thing?
I hope there is a fix because it's basically unusable if it doesn't even let me know when important stuff has happened (like someone at my front door for instance!!).
go to settings and type in search optiflex, you can set up to I think 10 apps that will always run in background, Im having there all IM apps and some I want to get notifications from (no need for gmail, that works always)

I've got this problem with lesser used apps like those with live match scores.
Interesting, I've had this issue with my Note 4, budget galaxy phone (can't recall exact model), ZTE zmax 2. and ZTE Blade Spark. I assume it's just a matter of dealing with ram management. I've had a hard time finding another person with this issue.
Did any one come up with a fix for this? I suspected it was related to aggressive battery optimization, but even when the app is not optimised I'm not getting notifications through.
No problems with notifications... Optiflex disabled, all apps that you want to get notifications from must be white listed from "autostart manager" (or something like that, mine is in Spanish)
Probably phone configuration error.
No problems with notifications at all.
I do not use PowerMaster, but I use OptiFlex.

Yes, go to battery settings>powermaster>auto-start manager>allow all apps to start automatically (or select individual apps to whitelist). Also allow newly installed apps to start automatically as well.
Just Purchased ZenFone6

Hey, I have had the ZenFone 6 for about 3 weeks and I must say that I think I wasted my money. Im having the same issues with notifications but more so with RING and WHATSAPP. I have tried all solutions that everyone has come up with and it seems as it its not 100% working. If you dont mind me asking, could it be the network that we are using? I dont want to believe that is it, but I wish I knew the reason for this cause.
