Lockscreen Notification from "Android System" - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

New to OnePlus and loving the phone.
Just noticed today every now and then I get a Lockscreen notification from Android System but not been quick enough to see it properly yet. I think it's Google Play Services is using GPS. Play services states last entry was over 13 hours ago but a notification came up around 15 mins ago.
When I look in the Notification Tab in settings it's only usual culprits there. Google Play Store, Whatsapp etc but doesnt show anything from the system itself.
Not a biggie at all but curious where it's coming from and wether I can disable that. Tried to disable play store.
Thanks
BTW - Who would have thought that to use vibrate only would involve a slider (what I get for not reading the instructions!!!!!! )

[Q] Notifications Keep Popping up

So, I just bought my TF700 (upgraded from a TF101) and updated to the latest firmware.I did 3 system restores followed by a cold boot to make sure everything would run fine. I then disabled many apps I won't use after reading this thread. I disabled the following: @vibe Fun Center, ASUS E-mail, ASUS Facebook Poster, ASUS MyZine, ASUS Sync, ASUS Weather, Browser, Clock, com.asus.pcsynclauncher, Face Unlock, Google Play Books, Google Play Magazines, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Music, MyBitCast, MyCloud, MyNet, Netflix, Nvidia Glowball Demo Installer, PressReader, Talk, TalkBack, and Zinio.
Now, notifications keep popping up, but it's just notifications for the cards in Google Now and Battery Widget? Reborn! Auto Airplane doesn't keep popping up. When the notifications do pop up, it's not like it has something to say, but, instead, it's like the apps are restarting. The Battery Widget? Reborn! app is not an app that pops up with information just an email or the Facebook app. It just stays in the lower right with the battery level. This app and auto airplane are the apps that start when I turn on the tablet. I renabled Google+ and Browser, but it did nothing. I changed the process limit in developer options back to standard and it didn't fix it. I'll just be browsing in Chrome and the battery info or weather and cards via Google Now pop up. It does it every few minutes, too.
One more thing. It seems like the battery on this device runs out very quickly. I was just browsing the web in Chrome for fifteen minutes or so and the battery went down seven percent or so. Is that normal?
I appreciate any help. Thank you.
I know this is only a work around, but if you go into settings then apps, you can turn off notifications for the individual apps...

I'll give it a try. I appreciate the info. I'm disabling all the same apps on my TF101 to see if it has the same issue.

Bugreport + Google Now

I have two problems:
a) i get bug-reports out of nowhere from time to time. No problem with any apps, everything works fine, but then i get a bugreport-notification that i can send via email or something else. I think i found out how to disable this, i turned on and off the debugging feature. But i never used this before, so why did this happen?
b) sometimes on my homescreen i can't do anything because the google now bar is activated. I have to touch the bar on the bottom and sometimes even have to open google now to use my homescreen again. I already disabled the google now shortcut with an app from the store, but this does not helf, the spotted ring is still coming up. Any help? Maybe a problem with my screen or with my display-foil?

Android wear connecting....

Hello
Ever since the Google Play Services update from a week or so ago I get this continuous notification. Does anyone know how to stop it? I updated to the latest G.P.S. from a few days ago and it still there. I do not have Wear installed or a AW device (yet) and Bluetooth is always off. It can't be dismissed and clicking it doesn't nothing.
Anyone else getting this?
bump
anyone else has gotten this message pop up?
I'm having this problem as well. I previously had a moto 360 which I sold and I then uninstalled the app. Probably around the same time as you, I started getting the notification (I noticed it coincided with a google play services update as well) but this was long after I had uninstalled the android wear app.
I can't turn off bluetooth, otherwise my pebble would be useless, so that isn't a solution for me (though it sounds like that doesn't work anyway). Long pressing on the notification to bring up app info tells me the Google Play services is the app responsible for the notification. Rebooting the phone gets rid of the notification temporarily but it always seems to come back.
I've just tried clearing the cache for g p s and rebooted so I will have to wait and see if it comes back.
A search of the android wear subreddit shows three people there have had the same issue so that makes 5 of us (or 4 if you are one of them), but no solution.
It's hard to tell how much it has impacted my battery but google play services is right at the top of the list for battery usage on my phone lately

I think this might be a recent system-wide glitch on Google's server side.
There are several other internet threads on this topic, including on the XDA Pixel 1 XL thread, see:

I've had the same problem on an og Pixel 128 gig on Android 7.2.1 Verizon variant unlocked using depixel8, rooted running old versions of SuperSU and TWRP
Cellular service on a pre-paid T-mobile MVNO
Noticed weather readout missing about 5 days ago 3/21/2018. Homescreen shows only day and date now.
Tried every trick in all the threads shown above, but nothing fixes the problem.
Uninstalling updates to Google app worked first time to get a weather reading, but it never would update and long gone now.
Hope someone under warranty escalates issue with Google.
Once temporarily restored I noticed mine disappears as soon as a calendar appointment or similar appears on the at a glace widget. Also read it's associated with you account insofar as some folk with other accounts get better maileage by switching to those accounts.
Been like if for a while for me - no fix in sight so far...
I have totally stock PIxel 2 64GB
how does Google constantly manage to f up every little thing? I just don't get it.

WOW. those morons at Google tied it into location history!! I had that crap off since day 1 in every phone because it's battery consuming and now i just turned it on and bam, weather instantly back. what a JOKE.

Glad at least that worked for you. Many have it on already and it still doesn't work

Interesting. Will also try that, as every other trick did not work. Weird Google Dev Guys.
Can confirm, it came directly back after enabling the location history.... Really does not make any sense for me....
Yep it is now tied to location history. They use every possibility to get your data. "You won't give us your location history? Well, than you can't see how the weather is right now"
Does anyone know a similar widget than? Having weather data is not worthy cutting my battery time in half. Also i think the location history is just ridiculous, it does not have a single benefit for me, i just noticed a way worse battery life last time i tested it.
Somehow it's working again without changing anything
so i have pixel 2 xl, and location history enabled on my phone but its still doesnt work.
anyone found a fix for issue?
I think you must update google app to version 7.24.31.
For me after update to last version weather work again
For me it is also available again, with disabled location history (and no app updates since I don't have access to any WiFi at the moment). Strange...
weird. i honestly gave up. f google. I started using nova again with HD widgets like I always did on every phone.

I tried everything above. I finally uninstalled the Google App through the Play Store, then updated the Google App (it's a system app, so it doesn't completely uninstall). That worked for me.
I managed to fix it following these steps.
1. Uninstalled the Google app
2. Opened the outdated app
3. Menu
4. Customize feed
5. Navigated to the Weather section and tapped on View All Settings
6. Disabled "Weather updates" and "Weather updates for your location"
7. Tapped on the DONE button
8. Kill the Google app
9. Went back to the store and updated the Google app
10. Open the app go to customize feed and reenable the weather updates again.
I have used various methods involving uninstalling and reinstalling the Google app. All restore the weather until after the next calendar event appears in the at-a-glace widget
I gave up trying to get "At A Glance" to work consistently. Being at the whim of whatever updates or backend changes Google decides to make turns it into an occasionally useful but mostly inconsistent, useless waste of screen space.
If you use Nova, you can use "Another Widget" from the Play Store. It's layout is identical to At A Glance and allows font, size, and other detailed customizations. It's basically a better "At A Glance" widget.
I just tried something today and the weather at a glance was back. I went into "Customize feed" -> weather settings, and changed "Preferred temperature units" from Celsius to Fahrenheit and weather at a glance was back (both in feed and on home screen). Then I changed it back to Celsius and the weather update is still there... Weird.
I tried every piece of advice I read about it and it didn't work properly (uninstall Google app, enable location history, etc.), but this did it. Hope it helps.

Location problem

Over the last views days I've started to notice that when I unlock my pixel 2 the location icon appears in the notification tray when I start a app like XDA or Facebook the icon disappears and when I press the home button to go back to my home screen it comes back straight away. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I've noticed the same since yesterday. Location icon shows up every minute or so. I ended up disabling advanced location.
I've disabled location completely. I'm guessing it's a Google app that is causing it but not sure which, the only ones I've updated recently are YouTube, health services, play music, Google and keep.
Edit
Looks like a issue with the Google app. I uninstalled it and the went back to normal, when I updated it the problem came back.
I had the same issue, turns out it was the Google beta app for me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled the stable version
