[Nougat][bug] Double notification for gmail - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Since I update my phone to android 7.0 I have this annoying bug.
When I enter the email from the notification bar, the icon remain there until I go back to the inbox list.
Any one know how to solve this?
I tried to delete the data of the gmail app, still the same.

Same here with s7 flat exynos.

Having the same issue. A way around this (for me) was to uninstall all updates for the gmail app in the Playstore. But as soon as I update again, the issue is back. I checked battery optimiziations, sync settings, cleared the cache...issue still remains. Did you find a fix for this?

No I didn't.
I did a factory reset and the problem gone, but when I updated the Gmail app, it back again..
Probably Google will fix this in some of the next updates.

Came here to report the same issue. T-Mobile S7
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using XDA Labs

I've had this too since upgrading to Nougat.
Actually going into the app and making the item 'read' doesn't always remove the notification.

Try to disable samsung push service in package disabler app.

Also have this issue. Android won't allow me to disable Samsung Push Service. Force stopping the service didn't fix the problem either.

I'm having the same problem with Nougat on my S7. Very annoying

same problem for me, s7 edge... build NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQB7.
latest gmail app.

Use a different mail app?

I solved doing this:
- Remove all Google accounts.
- Clear data and cache of Google and GMail apps.
- Reinsert Google accounts.
Now i have a delayed notification problem yet...

Goto Settings - Notifications.
You most likely have Gmail AND Email defaulted to receive notifications. Extremely simple to fix, just uncheck one of the two. Problem fixed.

I have this problem too, Galaxy S7 Non-edge. I tried factory-resetting my phone and this problem is still there. I am only syncing Gmail and my Email is not sending notifications. Anyone else figure this out?

I received a software update to
G930FXXU1DQE7
And the bug solved.

Same issue on Galaxy S7 model G930V, firmware 930VVRU4BQG1

This is annoying.. LOL

Unfortunately not, I switched to the Google Inbox app which works fine (but lacks the ability to swipe through mails).

Gmail sync problems

I bought Moto G 2015 three weeks ago, and phone has been upgraded to MM on first day of use.
I used Galaxy S3 for many years before and never had gmail sync problems, but now I have.
The problem appears in no push message that I have new gmail emails. Only when I open Gmail app or sync manually, I can see new emails.
I have many apps installed, such as Viber, Facebook Messenger, Mail.ru (another email client), all messages from them are recieved immediately. The problem is only with Google.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there some solution of this? All that could be done was done. I loose all hope to fix it.

For some stupid reason this is the default behavior of Gmail...
Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Google and turn the slider on for Gmail, should be good after that. Sometimes have to press the overflow menu and select "Sync Now" to sort of jump start it.

Of course I have Gmail slider on all time.
I send email from PC to myself and CC to my wife -- wife's phone notifies about new email immediatelly, but my moto G can keeps silence for many hours (or days?).

Had to ask... Many people have noted that is off by default, depends how you setup your device in the wizard.
I assume you have cleared caches, cleared data on Gmail, tried removing updates and reinstalling them, etc?

Yes, I did all of this abovementioned things.
I just added gmail account to another email client (mail.ru), and tried to send several emails to myself -- notifications come momentally!
It turns out that is someting wrong with gmail app? But the same version works good on wife's phone.
I've had this issue intermittently as well. It did not occur with 5.1.1. Seems to be a bug introduced with Marshmallow. I cleared the data of the Gmail app and that seems to have mostly cured it for now.
bug or feature? i had the same issue...
a battery saver function seems to be the culprit for me
settings > battery > menu > battery optimization
turn optimization off for gmail
it went back to getting mail that shows up in the middle of the nite
[i turned the battery saver off and still get good life
but i'm not using the phone for much now...]
I cleared cache of gmail, rolled back to firmware version, turned off battery optimization for gmail -- nothing helps me.
But yesterday I installed many others email clients, which work with gmail -- EVERY of them notifies about new emails monentally, but not gmail. And EVERY of them has battery optimization turned on..
Could this be related to Doze mode? When in Doze mode synchronizations are "dozed" and can be delayed up to 30 minutes, typically 5-10 though... Didn't even think of that

I send email to myself when phone is not in Doze mode, and there is no any notification. But others email clients work perfectly.

It seems that I resoved the problem!
Apps -- google play services -- manage data -- clear all data
Since I did this, I have every new email notification and sync! I tried to find solution all this time.
Battery optimization is on for gmail and all work as it should right now.
I hope.
Happiness was short. In a hour I send ti myself email and didn't receive notification. Went to google account sync settings and there was exclamation mark near gmail. Pressed to sync mannually and new email has come.
That's definitely problem with Google sync..
Nothing remains, but must install other email client.

Text Message notifications no working on Gear S3 Frontier

Hi.
Have the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier BT version paired with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I'm receiving all notifications with the exception of TXT messages even though I believe the setting seems to be correct.
Anyone else experience a problem receiving message notifications?
Ed
Do you use the stock Samsung SMS app on the phone? If not, that may be the issue.

Yes I use the stock SMS App
Try this... on the watch open the message app and try to send your self a txt.. on mine the first time i open the app it said i was not using the stock app on my phone and gave me the option to switch it.. Im using Google hangouts as my stock app and it seems to work pretty good.. i cant start a txt from the watch but i am getting all notifications..

Thank you.
I sent a txt to myself via the watch (no prompt to change app as using the default app already).
Phone received the txt as did the watch.
Watch now displaying notifications of txt's received without making any system changes.
Must have been caught in a lost loop or something.
Weird but I will certainly remember this solution should it occur again.
Cheers.
interesting. I also sent a text to myself and this started working with the default SMS app.
I have the same problem, but that did not fix it for me.
I have Gear s3 Frontier. Number sync on . Connected to s6 edge plus via Bluetooth.
It has been working fine. It quit a few days ago, and I couldn't get it fixed, ended up uninstalling everything and doing a reset on the watch. This is terribly inconvenient, setting up NumberSync again etc.
I go to notification settings on the phone in the gear app and Messages is not listed anymore. I get the texts on the watch, but only if I go into the app. Any help?

That's the problem. "messages" is now missing from there. It's not listed at all. No option to turn it on. Only way is to factory reset the gear and Uninstall and re install gear app on the phone.
I'm in France and i have exactly the same problem since a few days without doing anything in the settings of the gear s3 classic or in the phone (an s7) : all the notifications except sms and "messages" is no more in the gear app settings. Sorry for my english and thank you for the futur help.
Francis.
+1 same problem is that Messages is not showing up as an option within the Gear app's Notification tab/window. It was there previously before recent update on S3 Frontier (using S7 Edge).

I haven't found a fix yet. Only thing that fixes if for a while is completely in installing gear app and resetting the gear itself. But then you have to set everything up again. Very frustrating. I opened a ticket with att and Samsung, haven't heard back in a couple weeks though. Lol
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Hopefully they fix it soon...

Same issue here - factory reset of the phone was the only thing that fixed it. Then started to do the same thing a couple days later.
Don't forget to set notifications to On in the phone app
Hi there, had the same issue. I found that although the phone was set to notifications in settings...that in the actual message app (standard one) under settings there, my notifications were set to OFF! So, seems like you need to set notifications ON in app on phone, on the phone settings, in the Gear app..and make sure you give it some sort of vibrate/noise in settings on watch, then it should work! :good:
I've had the issue crop up a couple times but was able to resolve it by activating the cellular on the watch and sending a text to the phone. Yesterday, that didn't work. Today I noticed that instead of 2 Bluetooth connections for the S3 on the phone, there is now 1, shows call audio. Wondering if this is the root of the problem. Can others who have the problem check and see if this is occurring on your phones as well?
here's the fix: Go into your app mananger on your phone, click on the Gear S plugin app, then click on storage and clear the cache. Restart your gear s3 and it's back to normal

I am having the exact same issue as you with my s3. Did you ever find a solution? I have searched far and wide but im stumped. Even had Samsung look at the watch, but of course they found nothing.
I'm having this problem now too... It just started out of nowhere. I can see the message on my watch if I scroll to the notifications screen, but it does not vibrate nor show when I twist my wrist... I have tried everything... Every single thing necessary is on. I've even done a factory reset WITH uninstalling all the apps on my phone and installing everything in order again. Setup the watch as new. This isn't cool. Half of the reason I have this watch is for notifications. Seriously, Sammy needs to get it together! I've been having WAY too many problems with this watch in the last couple months.
Anyone found a fix? Nothing anyone has mentioned previously works.
Having the same issue here. No freaking idea what's going on. Have tried just about everything. Textra works but AM doesn't. Even Gmail doesn't work. So basically it seems like Google apps aren't working

gmail not pushing mail

So, ever since the N update on my S7 and now on the S8, my email doesn't push/sync right away at all anymore. I have to go into the email for it update. I'm not sure whyy it's doing this. I haven't set it up that way, have background data allowed, and don't have any battery saviors set up to do this...
Any ideas on this why this is happening?
Nougat's overly aggressive doze is the cause here. Fix: https://androidtutorial.net/2017/05/02/fix-delayed-push-notifications-galaxy-s8s8/
The option under Special Access you want to look at is Optimise battery Usage.
I have the same issue. I have gmail set so that it is NOT Optimized for battery. I still don't get gmail updates (and therefore no notification) until I open the app (usually). Sometimes I do get the notification soon after the email is sent to me. Rather random.
After messing around for a while, I think it is a no notification thing and not a lack of synchronizing the emails. If I send myself a gmail, I get no notification, but I can look in my google account and see where gmail has synchronized. Then I go to gmail and the message is there.

So, I solved it by going to the app manager and disabling the gmail app. Since it is a system app, it doesn't uninstall it, but reverts it back to some previous version. That version has been giving me the appropriate notifications for every email I have received since.
I think I will look at disabling updates for gmail for a while.

I deleted data for the app. That also fixed the problem (for now anyway)
This has been an ongoing issue for me for over a year. It was an issue on this phone, my S7 edge and Note7.
Often I will see an email on my phone, read and archive it, then go about my business. Several hours later I go into Gmail on my PC and that email is still sitting there, unread.
Actually sending out an email on the phone seems to make the sync update, but other actions like reading, moving, or deleting emails doesn't. I've had times where my emails were still unread on the Gmail website 12 hours after reading them on the phone. I have the app's battery optimization settings turned off, and I have even gone into the app several times during that period and pulled down to check for new messages. It's pretty awful that the sync has such serious issues and nobody is fixing it.
Deleting the app's updates doesn't work for me. It might fix the issue briefly, but it always comes back pretty quickly, even without any updates to the app.
The only thing that fixed the issue for me was installing an app called something like "Gmail Push Fixer". It worked wonders on my S7 edge. Unfortunately, the app requires root so it isn't an option on my Snapdragon S8+.

Samsung email app disable notifications

Hi guys
I've been using the s3 since launch and it's been fine up until recently. I don't know if this happened when the gear app updated on my phone but lately the email notifications are playing up. I use the Gmail app for my personal mail and the Samsung email app for my exchange work mail.
The way I want it set up is Gmail notifications come through to my watch but work email doesn't. So I have gone in to notifications on the gear app and disabled email. This work fine for a couple of days but then it re enables itself. Does anyone else have a similar problem?
Cheers

Same issue here. The samsung app notification setting keeps kicking back on after I change it. Happens just about every 24 hours. Love to hear a suggestion to correct. Thanks!
Hi jvarny
To be honest I gave up trying to get it to work. I have tried 2 different phone's with both Nougat and Marshmallow Roms but still the same. I've uninstalled Samsung email now and just added my exchange account to Gmail. Works really well for what I use it for.

Hey guys, I use Blackberry Hub for my e-mail accounts and it works fine, I can enable/disable notifications for any of the accounts without kicking back in.
Never used samsung's e-mail app.
