Delayed notifications until I check my phone - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I recently purchased the pixel 3, I've had it for less than a month. I couldn't resist the $300 off, and my OnePlus 3T was starting to show signs of it's age
One reason I switched was hoping notifications would be more reliable and on time, since I've read OnePlus severely restricts background services, and I would always get delayed notifications, even when I was using the phone!
But now with the pixel 3, if I'm away from my phone for a while, I won't get nearly any notifications, then when I go to check my phone just to see if I missed something, when I turn the screen on, immediately the notifications come in, and in one app for work, when I open the notification it tells me that the job is already gone. That's one way I know the notification was actually sent out waaaaay earlier
I've seen this before on the OnePlus, and I've read about it a lot, I think it has something to do with doze mode. On the OnePlus it was really easy to turn off doze mode(though OnePlus is so bad at this that I wonder if turning it off did anything), but that was Android Oreo and oxygen os. I can't even find a switch for doze mode in Android pie. It's not in developer settings, the closest thing I could find was adaptive battery, which is off. And I already set those important apps to have battery optimization disabled. Yet this keeps happening, as if doze mode is running on everything.
How do I turn off doze mode?? Or what can I do to get my notifications on time?? The work app I use heavily relies on that Google/firebase cloud messaging thing, and if I don't get notifications for new jobs on time, I pretty much miss out on a whole bunch of work.
Got any ideas?? Please help

Have you tried disabling Battery Optimisation for the apps which notifications are delayed?
For Android Pie it's in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Battery Optimisation, then change the filter to All apps and disable optimisation for each app you want to.

Turning off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Notifications are always delayed for an app like Gmail, even after battery optimization are turned off.

I have seen that happen especially when installing from a TB restore. Go into the app and disable notifications, and then re-enable them. If that doesn't work, delete and add the app back from the Play Store. That has worked for me in the past.

I never had to turn off battery optimization to have instant notifications for Gmail maybe check @sliding_billy 's tips

I will try that, even though I believe I've tried that before. I Started to use Outlook instead that gives me instant notifications.

Yeah, the new Outlook app is damn good. I don't use it for other accounts, but I use it for my outlook.com account that I have had literally since Microsoft launched Hotmail. Now that the Activesync works on the deleted folder (which it didn't for a long time), I rarely use my Gmail account for anything not coming from Google.

I've tried this before but it doesn't help. Something within Android is messing up the notifications really badly. It's like it's putting Android into a really deep sleep, and maybe the notifications are being received, but the system is not waking up the phone to tell you,
so they just linger around until you check your phone, only when you check the phone does the system all of sudden tell you that notifications had been received. It's so annoying!

Does this method still work on Android 10?

Any chance you have flip to shh on? Do not disturb when face down?
Do notifications come in with screen on?
I'm on my second pixel 3 (first one warrantied after it stopped charging randomly) and neither gave me trouble with notifications.
My dad disabled notifications rather than just dismissing them when I got him his first smart phone last year, but it sounds like you're a lot more savvy than that.
Someone mentioned a titanium backup, which I was happy to do on my op3, but part of the appeal to me of the pixel was a totally clean and Google-managed backup process. Are you on a stock install?

Any chance you are using a MVNO? I went years on a MVNO with no push/sync issues. Over the last year I developed notification issues. I switched multiple phones & carriers, the only way I could fix delayed notifications was to switch to a real carrier, that or use WiFi.

Turn off developer mode. It worked for me.

[Q] Z3 Dual D6633 + Lollipop: from heaven to Hell

Sony xperia Z3 Dual D6633 Android 5.0.2 Build 23.1.1.E.0.1
Hi there,
Upgraded my Z3 to lollipop last week and, despite the fact that the upgrade itself was flawless, I think I went from a device that used to work like a charm to one full of annoyances.
On day #1, noticed the batt drain skyrocket. 3h after disconnecting it, it was at 68%, half way through the morning. WTF? was my first thought. On a typical day on kitkat, I was able to end the day at 40% at least.
The second thing I´ve noticed was the phone app. It starts giving me errors, saying that the "network could not be reached" when I try to dial a number. If I insist for 4, 5 more times, it crashes. Dialing is only possible again if I reset the phone.
The third thing is the lock screen. It seems that lollipop has a drop down menu that makes it possible to enable/disable lots of things, like communications and even setting the phone in airplane mode. Imho that´s a huge liability / security risk and it appears that there is no way around that.
Still about the lock screen, it seems to have a bug: if you have any activesync account setup, not notifications will show up, no matter how you configure it (to show all or hide sensitive content).
So, I had only one thing to do, after reading forums etc... factory reseting it.
Surprise! All problems are still there.
Does any1 have any tips on those?
Thanks in advance.
There will be a widget on one of the screens which keeps refreshing itself and I found that to be the battery killer on my 6603.
Did you use any specific app to pinpoint the culprit?
1. It is possible that the battery levels are calibrating and will be imprecise for a while after the update, using the device normally for a couple of days will fix it, or at least this is what I observed in many phones I owned.
2. This is very weird and I can't help you with. If not even factory reset did help you may have some corrupted data on one of your contacts maybe? Try to make a thread about this issue on the Sony forum.
3. I noticed that as well, but even on pervious versions you could turn off the phone so I don't think it changes anything. Make sure to disable the multi user options that would allowanyone to add a new user from the lock screen.
4. Another weird thing, I use exchange accounts on my phone and I don't have any problem on mine. See point 2.
Under
settings>sound and notifications>when device is locked
Set to hide sensitive notification content or don't show notification content at all.
This should fix lock screen displaying email notifications from your exchange account.
Also, unlock phone, pull down notifications, pull down again to reveal quick settings, hit the edit button (pencil) and remove icons but clicking and holding and drawing them to the top. Unfortunately this removes them even when phone is unlocked but of your worried about unauthorised toggling of things on off its the best you can do I think.
As for battery drain, check the battery usage in
Settings>power management
Make sure stamina mode is on, toggle it off then on to make sure.
Select battery usage and check to see if any apps are using more than they should. Make sure brightness is set low but enable adaptive brightness under display settings.

That's not a smartphone anymore, with all functions shut down and brightness low.
This phone has the best screen, use it at least 50% brightness.
I have no issues with the brightness down. It bumps up nicely in brighter conditions and will even max out in daylight. If I ever need it brighter then it's easy to boost temporarily. It's a small price to pay for nearly 24 hours of battery with 5 hours screen on time.
I never mentioned shutting down functions. The only thing I mentioned removing was the toggles that concerned the op on the quick settings. Removing mobile data and aeroplane mode from quick settings hardly cripples the device, I never use these anyway.
I don't think it very useful that there's not more customisation available here such as a complete set of separate lockscreen settings. But if all you can do is comprise then what else can you suggest?
I don't think unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom ROM is something the op wants to do.

You said stamina.
Stamina means already some functions off.
Update:
1. Batt drain
Remains without an explanation. My daily use profile is basically the same as before the update. 3PM and I am at 28%, with stamina on. I can´t recall a day, running kitkat, that I would hit the charger at night with 28% of batt remaining (and I still have 4h to go). It was always on 40% ish. GSAM is reporting that 47% of the batt drain is caused by apps and, from that, 30% is represented by android core apps + android system + kernel. I might be wrong, but I think it is related to reindexing, contact + agenda sync etc and it will probably get lower eventually (I hope!)
2. Phone App giving errors
I think I have isolated the problem. It seems to be caused by TrueCaller.
3. Lock screen
Regarding the drop down menu, It is clear now that what I think is a problem is, in fact, by design and there is no way around it without rooting. But regarding the notifications, I just removed both activesync accounts and I started getting notifications in the lock screen again. So, my guess is that there is a policy of some sort that is being interpreted by the phone as it should hide all notifications from the lock screen.
In fact, there are lots of things that got blocked / disabled because of those policies. Here is a list of things that were disabled and now appear to be working again, after the removal of the activesync accounts:
. notifications are showing again in the lock screen;
. smart lock;
. screen lock options (none, swipe, pattern);
note: I thought that I would be able to enable services in Accessibility, like LastPass or App Advisor by Norton, but it still does not work (I try to enable any of them, but pressing "ok" on the warning dialog does nothing and the only option working is "cancel").
Thinking about resetting it again...
Hi, if problems are persistant you can always downgrad software at KitKat by using FlashTool and wait Lollipop 5.1 (5.1 will probably solve many problems).

A new firmware version has dropped for the Z3 which I think fixes your issues with notifications.
I received it OTA yesterday, I'm running the Balkans customisation.
Thank you for the tip! I hope it does! Will keep it posted here just for the reference. I am starting to feel other "symptoms" as well, like bluetooth instability (you pair a device and it stops working, have to pair again).
.
Just hit another weird thing.
I am not being able to create a new vpn connection. I am trying to use the PureVPN and IPVanish client software, but when I try to setup the conection, I receive a disclaimer, saying that my traffic might be monitored, with a "CANCEL" and "OK" options. The OK doesn´t work, only "CANCEL".
My device is encrypted and I have also noticed that I am not able to decrypt it.
Also, If I go to Accessibility and try to enable a service, the same thing happens: a disclaimer appears, saying that the service might observe my actions, with a "CANCEL" and "OK" options. The OK doesn´t work, only "CANCEL".
Any ideas?
Ok, just a quick fup: the ability to create VPNs from apps is disabled if you encrypt the phone. It seems that if you create if before encrypting, it won´t be disabled; but you wont be able to create a new vpn from an app downloaded, after encryption.
Regarding the Accessibility > Services, after a *lot* of research, I have found that Twilight was the culprit. For the reference:

Running apps being killed

As the title suggests, I keep finding apps that I'm using being killed, things like Google Music, tTorrent, and Sleep as Android all being closed while in use. I have selected "Don't Optimise" in the battery settings and "Advanced Optimization" is off.
Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?

I had the very similar problem with tasker, it used to turn off because of something that I didn't knew, later after selecting don't optimise in the battery settings the Tasker remain in the background and it worked as it should be working.
Did you turned on anything in developer settings that limits the background activity?

No I've not touched developer settings. I've noticed that the "don't optimize" setting keeps flipping back to optimise, that's probably why it's being killed all the time.
Another thing I've noticed, Google play music doesn't show in the list of apps under battery optimization so I can't even switch that off.

How to get good battery life?

Hello everyone,
So I was wondering how to get good battery life?
I am on stock firmware latest update. No root.
Installed system wakelock detection but only whatsapp waking up like 5 times.
But, still draining a lot of percentage when the device is idle.
I used greenify to hibernate some apps.
Downgrading cpu is maybe an option.
I hope anyone has an idea!
Depends what you define as "good battery life." I find some people think they should be getting 12 hours SOT and 0% overnight drain because they read a post by someone who has their phone running with half the functions disabled and 5% screen brightness.
There are a couple of kernels that cap CPU performance if that's what you want. But you're probably better off figuring out what apps are using battery and optimize/remove them. Battery life is typically a userspace issue.

Now I am getting 3 hours of SOT max.
I do have quite a lot apps (127 apps)
But I can't figure out which ones are taking battery.
Read one of the battery guides posted in the forums, they might help you out.
With root you can detect drain eazy with betterbatterystats, if you wish to go that road.
Disable functions you don't need currently. Some apps track you with gps even when you don't use them wich drains a lot of battery. Especially from Apps that don't need this to function normally this is very uncool. Take away the permissions Apps don't need if possible.
Also look up Settings/ Battery for your battery consumption
Why not search the forum bro? Someone made a special post on how to get the best battery life...... i know its hard to use the search function but please try

Stop using apps like Greenify and wakelock detector, they honestly do more harm than good with the newer versions of Android. OnePlus has this built in anyways, called battery optimization. Turn on advanced optimization and only allow apps you NEED to get real time notifications for, I get great battery life with that setup.

I go to settings>accounts>google and turnoff all the syncing options. For calendar and contacts, when I add any, I go into there and just turn them on, let them sync and then turn them back off. Why just let them sync all day long with nothing to sync? Doesn't make sense to me. Also in Setting>Data Usage>Cellular Data Usage i tap each thing and disable background data for each individual app that I don't need doing anything. I leave apps like email, messaging apps (Textra, What'sApp web browser, Google Play Services, Solid Explorer, DropBox, Weather Android OS ) with background on so they work properly. So you know, things like Web Browsers and Solid Explorer you need their background data on so if you are downloading from the net or moving files with the file manager they will fail, so you have to leave those on. Likewise with Google Play Services, you can't download from the play store with background data disabled.
Also, you can turn off location permissions to all apps that don't need it. Go to settings>apps>App Permissions and you can select Location and it will list all apps that have the ability to request Location Permissions. Right now mine says 4 of 30 has location permissions. I have Samsung Internet, Google, Maps and Weather. I have all other apps location turned off. Here you can just go down the list instead have having to go into each app. I also Keep Location set to battery saving unless I need Maps and I just turn it to High Accuracy.
With this and keeping screen brightness on auto I get 9-11 hours SOT. Maybe a little less now since I just bought a gear S3 Frontier watch so my Bluetooth is always active now and communicating to the watch. Oh and a couple other things. I have work email set to push and personal email to sync every 3 hours and weather sync every 6 hours. These are things that are personal preferences and will cause battery life to vary. But setting up background data usage and Location permissions can go a long way for battery life.

How do you do to setting up the email to sync every 3 hours? For example with Gmail or outlook
cellular signal booster is the best solution to significantly reduce battery drawing.
AOSP with fully manual control of each and everyone app and service on your phone.

I use blue mail. It's free and works with exchange for my work email. I don't use Gmail as it sucks for tweaking. I rarely use Google apps. I use Google calendar, YouTube, Google sheets and Google docs and that's it.

Let me know how it works out for you.
maybe you could try
1. going to developer option and decreasing the animation to 0.5x from 1x
2. disabling auto sync in accounts
3. enabling dark theme
4. using wifi more, than using 4G
you will significantly see improvement in the battery life, though the battery is already kickass in the first place

You sure because when i use greenify i get way better battery life and greenify also adopts to the newer version of android with shallow sleep.

Delayed notification for Whatsapp, Signal, G Voice

This post was originally posted in Moto G5s Plus forum, but I thought/hope to get broader exposure and feedbacks:
I did extensive search and found no fix so far.
Problem: if my phone is locked for maybe 10min, then it will not display notification for incoming Signal, Whatsapp and Google Voice messages, until I unlock the screen and run the apps. In other words, I will not get notified of new messages if the phone is locked for over 10 minutes.
Native Messenger app is not affected, it displays incoming message right away. Gmail is good too.
I do not use Wifi, it is turned OFF. I am on Data 100% with T-Mobile. Stock ROM, rooted with Magisk and TWRP.
I have done "Battery Not Optimized", "unrestricted data", Battery saving mode is set Never, and there is no battery saving apps installed such as Greenify etc.
I have removed and reinstalled these apps from Play store, cleared data and cache, the whole 9 yards.
Still stuck with delayed notification.
Anyone with suggestions?
Thanks,

Problem: if my phone is locked for maybe 10min, then it will not display notification for incoming Signal, Whatsapp and Google Voice messages, until I unlock the screen and run the apps. In other words, I will not get notified of new messages if the phone is locked for over 10 minutes.
Native Messenger app is not affected, it displays incoming message right away. Gmail is good too.
I do not use Wifi, it is turned OFF. I am on Data 100% with T-Mobile. Stock ROM, rooted with Magisk and TWRP.
I have done "Battery Not Optimized", "unrestricted data", Battery saving mode is set Never, and there is no battery saving apps installed such as Greenify etc.
I have removed and reinstalled these apps from Play store, cleared data and cache, the whole 9 yards.
Still stuck with delayed notification.
Anyone with suggestions?
Thanks,

It's probably caused by a wakelock that triggers after the screen is off for a set amount of time. Or maybe your device has a deep sleep mode that is triggered after a certain time with screen off.
Use Wakelock detector to identify the wakelocks on your device, then research the wakelocks that you find to see if any of them might be the cause of this issue. If you find a wakelock that is causing this, try using an app that can manage wakelocks to enable/disable the wakelock(s) as needed in order to get it working the way you want/need.

Late gmail notifications

Is there a way to fix issue with late push notifications from gmail? When phone is unlocked they are immediate, like on my iphone device, but locked it sometimes takes several minutes to come. I disabled all energy saving modes, no deep sleep apps etc. Already on Android 11
You could put gmail into "never sleeping app" under settings... it will always be running in the background... I am not sure how it might affect the battery life... you could check and report...
