Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Yeah, let's hope

Unfortunately it's back

Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me

I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...

I'm having the same issue and I do not have the hike app

It could as well be another third party app... Doesn't necessarily have to be hike..... Try and see if clearing your recent apps fixes the issue for you

What does clearing mean? Like delete my apps?

I am also running into this issue. Im still in the process of uninstalling apps one by one to narrow it down if it is an app thats causing it. Has anyone pin pointed what is causing this? Im almost ready to factory reset the phone and add the apps back one by one but I would rather not spend the time.

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?
Just a thought
Cheers!

I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.

This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

I also noticed the issue on v8.1 that I flashed a few days ago. Thought it would have been fixed by now. Ended up downgrading to v7.1.2 again to fix the issue.
Oreo is NOT ready for prime time in my opinion.

Samsung Interface Not Updating

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.

[SOLVED] Extremaly delayed push notifications

[June 25 2018]
It looks like I solved my problem by reading about push notifications here:
https://help.moengage.com/hc/en-us/...not-receiving-push-notifications-sent-by-you-
It got me thinking that GCM service in my Nokia 7 plus is not properly connecting with Google’s servers. So I looked around how to hard reset my device using this tutorial:
NOTE: [THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES FIRST]
http://www.techeligible.com/2018/05/27/unlock-pattern-nokia-7-plus/
select Wipe data/factory reset.
After restart configure your phone as a NEW DEVICE. Push notifications seem to work as they should. They are waking the device from sleep mode immediately.
This method will most likely work for all Android devices.

[June 5 2018]
I really like this phone but the push notification problem just kills me.
When phone is in sleep mode push notification don't wake it up.
Just leave the phone on the desk for 15 minutes and send yourself an email from different device.
Same applies to WhatsApp. If someone sends me a message it can take half an hour before phone will show notification.
This is frustrating and apparently there is no fix.
I did even factory reset and the problem persists.
Tweaks like exclude app from battery optimazation don't work.
This clearly Android Oreo fault.
Google is so fixated to save battery that it castrates crucial functionality

+1 to the delayed notifications problem!
As you wake the device up, the Whatsapp icon also keep showing in the taskbar - "Checking for new messages" quite often.
that also happens at intervals while the device is ON & other apps are being run.
I hope this, the fingerprint navigation (left+right), battery SOT, stability will improve with proper update to Andro-P. and SOON!

Same problem here. "Heartbet" apps dont work either.

Same here! Maybe it's push notifications server problem?

pls. make sure that notification apps have permission to work in back ground as it may be restricted for battery saving

[SOLVED] First post.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gmail and WhatsApp are excluded in battery optimazation. It makes no difference.
Gmail is a Google app. It comes with system but push notifications are not working properly.
There in no other way to set apps to work in background. At least I didn't find such option...

Didn't work for me. Anybody else managed to fix this?

Anyone experiencing delayed push notifications on Android Pie?

Do you have location enabled (saving battery location setting)? Disabling location can cause notification delays.

I never really turn off location services. Is this setting you are talking about the battery optimization for apps? I can turn that off for location services.

I had the exact same issue and it was really frustrating me. Resetting my phone didn’t help as detailed here. But finally after some playing around i fixed mine
In the battery settings i enabled Adaptive battery and then went into background activity manager. I enabled both auto activate and lock screen on all the apps i had problems with receiving notifications. Now i get all app notifications straight away with no delays

Question Notifications not pushing

Hi all,
I have been facing a weird issue of notifications not being pushed (some apps) on my S22U.
It was bearable in the beginning but now I am missing notifications of MS Teams and other important apps. Which quickly turns it into a nuisance.
I am rooted with latest magisk, lsposed - zygisk.
I would like to resolve it without reflashing my firmware again. Any help is appreciated.
Few things I have tried.
Checking if the notifications settings is on of the app.
Checking if I have not accidentally enabled DND (which is off)
Restarting the device.
Googling if someone have similar issue.
Reinstalling the app.
Clearing app data.
Disabling and re-enabling the notifications.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure battery optimization is turned off on the affected apps & that you have data enabled in the background as well on each affected app.

How about in the phone's device care/battery settings? Is the power saving option turned on?
Just spit-balling here, but, I myself forget to turn it off (sometimes) on a new device set-up/after a factory reset. Guessing power saving option turned on could possibly affect timely notifications.....

Checked. Power saving is off. Appreciate the spit-balling, never know what will work.

same issue here, i hear notification sounds, but never pop-up message or screen wake-ups.
just beeps...no solution found so far

I don't even get the chimes. I have watch 4 too. Thought if not on phone it might get pushed on watch, but no luck there too

This happens to me with LinkedIn: I get notif sound, but no pop up and icon on top bar. If I swipe down the notification is there though.

I am not getting any indication, no notification in statusbar and notification bar and no notif sounds. Weird that it is happening on some apps. I think some magisk module might be culprit but not certain.

Question App-permission lost daily

Hi,
I enabled "restrict background battery" for few apps, but after reboot, those settings are lost.
I have a pixel 7 (not a pro), and the problem (according to this post) seems to affect other permissions..

Does anyone else have the same problem?

My permissions seem to get lost sometimes randomly. Not after each reboot and not every morning/day. Just randomly.
