Hello everybody,
I am enjoying my S22 Ultra which is almost 2 days old now.
Something strange happened.
I have also raised this in another topic but by then, i didn't know the reasons and i didn't give much details.
Today i had some testing.
Yesterday night, after i set up the phone 99% (with the apps i used but not fine tuned), i charged the phone to 100% for the first time (the only 100% was when i got the phone before first starting) and as it hit 100% i removed from the charge and went to sleep.
This morning, to check notifications and take notes of some of the items, when i got Spen out and used it, the phone (touchscreen) got laggish and phone started acting a bit late and weird in terms of response to open apps or make actions in them.
Anyways, after like 5 minutes the phone made a soft restart itself and drained around 6-8% of battery.
I wasn't pleased but didn't make a big fuss out of it.
This happened when i tried to resize the note app size with Spen drawn out. First instead of resizing, the note (right and bottom quarters) were dragged out of the screen making the right end and bottom sides unusable and also made the resizing impossible.
After the reset, some hours later, i tried the same and got the crash report of notes. Literally the notes app crashed when i resized the note screen with the Spen.
Did this happen to somebody else?
Any recommendations?
I thought of removing Samsung Notes and reinstalling but also thought maybe Spen also need to be formatted etc.
Otherwise the phone seems to be acting pretty good with just some minor milisecond lags/stutters once in a long while, battery still has 17% with around 4,5hrs SoT (and this is as said the 2nd day, battery is still learning, didn't do any power saving, never turned bluetooth off etc. So using it as it must be used) with a total of 22hrs battery usage.
Have around 100 apps that i use installed etc.
So it would say otherwise it is holding pretty good.
Would appreciate if you guys can help me pinpoint and solve this issue.
Thank you in advance
First thing I would do is check if any updates are available and install them to get up to the latest version.
Clear system cache.
Try a hard reboot (NOT factory reset).
Try in safe mode as a 3rd party app may be the cause.
Return Samsung apps to their factory load version; undo updates. Clear related app cache then data if the former doesn't work.
Try to find the root cause rather than doing a factory reset as the issue is likely to reoccur.
Factory reset if you did a major OTA upgrade.
If you used SmartSwitch, if suspect malware or if you can not resolve it (if so use discretion loading 3rd party apps after the reset!).
I did and didn't see any updates.
The device is SD 512 btw if that matters

I didn't do smart switch. Downloaded everything from scratch.
The data was mostly on cloud anyway (OneDrive and Google).
Only thing i did was to increase additional RAM to 8gb rather than 4 (12+8 now rather than 12+4).
Do you think it is fixable or shall i return/replace it?
However, mimicing the same for the service would be hard.
Also, tbh, worried if i replace and get a phone with bad battery or bad cpu etc.
Man, i h8 this situation Samsung put which make us think 3 times before doing something with the phone.

Your call on returning. Since you don't know the cause it's hard to say. It's likely not hardware but that can't be completely rules out. Many apps aren't compatible with Android 11 and especially 12, that's probably the cause or a bug on the Samsung side.
Personally I haven't found a keeper in any of the Samsung post N10+ releases... my N10+'s will likely be in use for years. Between Samsung and Gookill Android I no desire to deal with their substandard bs... hype walks, functionality talks.
They haven't given more than they took away since the N10+. Not having an SD card causes many issues and is not acceptable. It's far more important than 5G or variable refresh rates, the latter two contribute to reduced battery life. Scoped storage and forced encryption has also degraded performance and battery life. When I add the known excellent build quality, form factor and reliability of the N10+, it became the logical choice. Bought my second new one 5 months ago.
I use whatever comes in handy.

I was asking about your opinion since you are more experienced in Samsung than me.
The battery drain occured after the Spen issue happened.
And today i got the "Notes stopped working" error when i was playing with Spen/notes to see if i could replicate the error.
And just now, i tried to replicate it again and moved the window around aggressively.
Only issue is time to time Spen stopped dragging it as if i have lifted.
Other than that, the phone acts/reacts normal.
The only differences are as follows;
1) The note screen is smaller than the beginning if it may have an impact
2) I think the first time it rebooted, i was dragging it aggressively while it was giving (or trying to give) the first time tips for the Spen notes
Did it fix itself, maybe?
Maybe shall i try increasing the size of note window and test again?
I got burned by snotes so I never have used them in their latest incarnation.
If that's the only issue with the spen/display it's likely nothing serious. Most issues on my N10+'s I fix by playing with them; play & learn.
Go to Device Care>memory and clear the cache, now open the app giving you trouble, and see what populates in that cache screen when it loads or when there's trouble. The apps at the top have most recently loaded. Developer options>running/cache services too.
You can also see ram usage in Developer options and running services, check for memory leaks, etc.
Further down, open Standby apps, do all buckets show as active? If so global power management is not enabled. However if you can change the bucket state it means power management is running, if so disable it. It's a know trouble maker.
Global power management is disabled. You can not turn it on/off here, it's found in Device Care>battery. Only enable fast/super charging there on the switch toggles.

This is a review of the Sony Ericsson Live view and the Desire HD
Ordered about a month ago from Play.com for £40 but due to the holiday period I received it yesterday!

Upon first impressions the device has some impressive ideas behind it, watch sized display receiving a bunch of notifications from the phone, 4 capacitive buttons for the directions and 2 hardware keys, interchangeable carry devices, plugins and a phone finding feature.
Here are some size comparisons to the Desire HD
Front on
Side on
Straight out of the box the unit wasn't behaving nicely, I paired it and used the LiveView application to connect. I may have slipped up by already having the application and a bunch of plugins installed in anticipation and by not charging the unit. After a charge and reinstalling the application it started behaving. After playing for a bit I found that only 6 plugins can be installed at one time and that it's best to restart the unit after installing a plugin. It froze my phone otherwise.
Luckily those were the only troubles I had, now the LiveView is working great. There are several nifty plugins for example this calendar app that shows a full month and an agenda view too!
Now out of the box the liveview doesn't support HTC music but vith the poweramp controller plugin the controls and even song information and album art!
Out of the box the unit supports facebook, twitter, rss feeds, texts, and missed calls.
Other plugins on the market include Glob which shows your speed and traffic camera warnings with the app on the phone, Sportypal, Moon Phase, Weather, Location, Contact call, Ringer mode, Gmail, Launcher, Watch and shopping list.
Other great things about the device are that the wrist strap mount has 20mm watch pins so the strap can actually be changed. I've ordered a fossil strap for mine
http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/32/build_a_watch/mens/fsscbuildawatchmensstraps/eagle_strap-jr9193p.html?departmentCategoryId=201001&N=32&Va=53&Ns=p_ms0|0||p_weight|0&rec=23&pn=c&imagePath=JR9193
Coming from amazon germany, should be interesting.
The unit also vibrates if you set it too gently alerting the user to notifications.
for this price I couldn't say no and I am happy with my purchase.
Excellent! I'm getting one for my birthday in 11 days, so this has made me feel a lot better about it! And with the apparent software update that is coming soon from SE this should be kick ass!
Thank you for your review - especially the pictures!
Great review!
I´m glad it´s working on DHD.
thanks for that
i think this is the most usable accessoir
what about power comsumption with bt on?

i actually have a different take on this awlful device.
i was impressed with the specs, but in the real world found it serverly lacking.
it would constantly lose connection, and then would freeze the phone up. only a restart would solve it.
i wish i had waited to see what other had said before buying, sony have released a beta product thats no where near ready for the open market - they are not forth coming with any firmware updates either, and sadly enough that is what is needed to sort out the problems everyone seems to have with the bluetooth radio on the device.
I have the LV since 4 weeks with my DHD. All the problems which are described in several forums. Not usable at all.
Beside the software issues, which are solvable from SE, the worst issue is that it is not possible to recharge the beast in the arm clip.Construction fault.

At first I did have the freeze issues but after removing and reinstalling the software and using liveware as per the instruction manual the phone no longer froze. I strongly suggest restarting the liveview after installing a plugin too.

Drain on the phone isn't that noticeable, liveview lasts around 8 hours on a single charge. Perhaps not enough for some but it is a tiny device.
8 hours?! Is there a way to turn of the screen when not in use, or some other battery-saving feature? I'd look at this as a method to keep phone battery going for longer as you don't need to power up that massive screen the DHD is famous for. If it lasts less time than the phone, it's next to useless as far as I'm concerned. A crying shame, really.
That's 8 hours you don't have to power your phone screen on for. It's great for running with the Sportypal plugin and also for driving with the Glob plugin, just clip the phone onto your car somewhere and you get live speed and speed camera warnings.
Mines arrived today and initially it was working ok - but then I tried to add a plugin and it's all gone wrong. It won't connect at all.
I have removed the LiveWare Manager, the LiveView application, all plugins and deleted the bluetooth pairing.
Then I installed the LiveWare Manager again, then re-paired, then reinstalled the LiveView app, and it still won't connect.
I'm about to fuzz it out a window. Any ideas?
Make sure it's 100% charged first time. It won't connect if there's no charge
Problems kinda solved!
The SonyEricsson update is out! It's just hidden.
Here's what I did:
Went onto the SE website and downloaded the Update Service package for any phone (they're all the same).
The software currently doesn't have a selection for the liveview (though the front page mentions the LiveView Update!).
I selected the SE X10 as my phone, and clicked next. The software gives you a load of instructions to follow which obviously don't apply.
Instead, switch the liveview off, plug it into the USB, and then hold down the 2 physical buttons. The display shows a USB plug and the letters "DFT" and then the update software reacts and informs that there is new software.
Click to install it and it will download and install, but subsequently say it failed. Restart the LV by holding down the left button for 15 seconds and it will be updated!
Nothing visual has changed, but mine is maintaining connection continuously!
Only problem is that it doesn't seem to update my facebook or twitter feeds...
EDIT: restarted LV and everything has come to life! Wahoo!
I spoke too soon.About an hour after I posted it all fell apart again and stopped working properly.
I'm thinking this is more down to the liveview app rather than the device now. I'm gonna do a full wipe today and see if it helps.
Still no joy. It connects, works for about a minute, and then disconnects and I have to restart the phone and LV to get it to work again.
Seems to make it very, very angry when I get a text message too.
I just have updated my LV. Same sh.. as before :-(
The only difference is that the timeout of the display is in 2 steps. At least I haven't recognized this before.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
So after a weekend of using it I can give some more impressions.
In general, if you want to do something with the LiveView it will disconnect and be very angry at you for the rest of the day.
However, if you switch it on and just leave it, and let it update you when it wants to, then generally it's pretty solid. I have mine updating every 15 mins and it will buzz with my latest updates. I read them, turn the screen off and then 15 mins later will get another buzz. In this respect it works very well.
If I try to show anyone what it does (because it seems to get a LOT of interest) then it does not play well and just gives up.
I'm almost certain a lot of this is to do with the shoddy LV app though. Sometimes my LV will be off and I will be miles away from it, but the LV app decides to lock up the phone and I have to pull the battery.
Annoying.
EDIT: Just a quick note about the battery. I haven't had it on for long, but I can safely say that battery life far exceeds the 8 hours previously quoted.
Maybe 8 hours constantly on, but the screen dims and then turns itself off after a certain timeout anyway.
Is your DHD silver? (dazultra2000)

Nope. Same as everyone elses. I've not yet updated my sigpic with the DHD yet.
In the pic it's:
Canary, Typhoon, Hurricane, BlueAngel, Universal, Kaiser, Rhodium
Wow, really? In the comparison photo it looks silver. It must just be like a reflection or something.
So my Nexus 5 starting to have some crazy redraws on the launcher and really began to stutter and lag. i wasn't sure what it was so i did some searched online and found out that there was a memory leak bug in the developer preview of L. It appears at least in my experience the bug is still there.
What happens is if you go to your settings/apps and look at what's "running" you'll find that "system" hogs up a MASSIVE amount of ram after 1-2 days of usage. If you do a reboot you'll find it starts off ~200mb which seems reasonable. the screenshot i've attached is after about 14 hours of usage after a reboot and i'm at roughly 540mb of usage. I'm sure by tonight i'll be at roughly 800mb and the redraws are going to start as the OS starts to close apps etc. Which is when a reboot will be needed.
Curious to see what your system ram usage's are after a few days use and if you're experiencing similar lag/stuttering/redraws as well.
Star here if you experience this as well:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729
UPDATE 11/28/2014 - 73 hours uptime
Ram usage now around 900-1gb for system. Redraws are occurring on launcher here and there now. Issue still present or working as intended I have no idea at this point.
UPDATE 11/26/2014 - 27 hours uptime
Ram usage hovering around 600mb for system. Still no redraws. Looks as if the services update changed the priorities so that launcher doesn't redraw at least. Haven't noticed any slowdowns either.
UPDATE 11/25/2014 - 14 hours uptime
Ram usage now at 700mb for system. No redraws yet.
UPDATE 11/25/2014 - 6 hours uptime
I updated today to google play services 6.5 and I know it's still early, but as of 6 hours uptime, my system is still hovering only around 180mb-250mb ram usage. Much more normal! yay. fingers crossed to see after a few days.
UPDATE
Coming up on close to two days uptime, 33 hours and system ram usage is now close to 800mb.

I haven't noticed this, mine is using 359M of RAM I have been running for 36 hrs now. Did you factory reset after updating to Lollipop?
I didn't want to factory reset since that would defeat the purpose of the OTA....what I did do was clear cache.
Sometimes OTA's makes a factory reset necessary unfortunately. It can cause issues. Specially such a big update as this.
Perhaps I will do a factory reset and see what happens, but in the meantime still curious to see if anyone else is having this issue as well.

yup, those were the exact sources I was reading that there were issues. I was surprised there wasn't a separate thread about it more recently since the official deployment of L so wondered if it was only isolated cases.
I've read very few that has had the issue. Definitely not a widespead issue as we would had been flooded with threads by now then. So I would try a reset and that will most likely fix it.
I believe my device has memory leak issue too. I did a fresh flash from factory image and launcher will start to redraw everytime i press home after about 1 day usage.
I mainly only use it to play boom beach and hay day and surf webs.

Check your system ram usage when it starts to redraw and report back.
I can't believe this only effects a few people. This has to be a bug everyone is experiencing sooner or later. Maybe many people don't even notice. But for me it's the most annoying thing about lollipop. I hope a fix is coming soon.

This honestly may be a strange solution to this problem buuuut.... Out of curiosity when I noticed on android police's website that there was a new play services update. Keep in mind im on official lollipop with all the terrible lag and battery issues too, but once I updated to the latest services apk and rebooted everything was buttery smooth again just like (or even better the kk) seems like the nexus really is a "google" phone now. Hope it helps!!

I'm also really looking forward to the new services update! unfortunately, you did reboot your phone. Not sure if it's the update that fixed it or the reboot cause rebooting does temporarily fix it for now.
I understand where your coming from. I did reboot and actually reflashed the images several times and still had the issues everyone else seems to have. Updated the apk and wallah! Weird I know but worked for me ha
I did a manual flash from google factory images. I even have the latest google play services. A reboot does fix the problem temporarily. It seems like whenever I drive in my car (nav, waze music ect) I lose memory like crazy and many things in the apps menu including the launcher says restarting and everything is laggy as crap until I restart my phone again. I'll grab screen shots next time to show.

Memory Leak
HOLY COW..!! This is true after one day of usage ,if i check for available ram is shows only 500mb...YES System eats about 1GB RAM....I hav upgraded my cell with OTA..But no luck....When i was on KITKAT i always used to get 1.2GB FREE RAM..Lollipop sucks about this RAM issue...lets hope google will fix this issue soon!!
I have this ****ing and anooying issue and don't know how to solve. I have sometimes popups of clean master app saying "your memory is 85% full". After a reboot it works well for a few hours
I have it to.. Google is joking.

What version of play services have you installed? For Nexus t with Lollipop we need version 738 but it is not available yet
Last night, my Note 20 Ultra got the Android 11 v3 upgrade, and it messed up so many things I can't believe anybody would call that an "upgrade".
First, the option to hide the front camera hole in Settings / Full screen apps is GONE, and now that hole is not only back, but since there is no more bevel, it's extremely difficult again to swipe down on an Otterbox case because of the slightly protruding edge protecting the screen.
Second, the alarm sounds have been changed. Having a couple dozen alarms active makes it a hassle to change everything again.
Third, the photo editing software now has added shadow buttons shifting the saturation button farther to the right out of the default space, therefore requiring scrolling. I believe this can be customized, but why not add these 2 new lesser used options to the right from the get going ?
Fourth, looking at pictures in the gallery now shows a thumbnail scroll at the bottom which interferes with basic button functions, especially video playing control.
I've only noticed a few other minor changes today, like changes in the location of various options, but these are the most irritating so far.
I hope the next upgrade will at least bring back the option to hide the camera hole again for those who need it.
Nothing like an AT&T update... which is why I never let updates run.
If you like the OS and it's fast/stable, leave it be.
A reload is probably needed, at the least clear the system cache.
Major firmware upgrades are going to require a lot of time and learning even if they're good OS's. Just the nature of the beast.

I never had a problem before, and I cleared the system cache just in case, but the phone is working fine.
I am fine learning new features and virtually all OS changes, but I don't see how removing the option to disable full screen can be an improvement.
Is there any way to restore the OS to a previous version without wiping out data and apps ? It's very difficult to swipe down 20 times a day now that the fullscreen can't be disabled.

Never update near the end of the phone's life cycle. That when the worst things tend to happen and some are deliberately done... thanks AT&T Feel the wuv...
If you want to flash back you'll need to reload.
A reload is a good idea even if you don't and I rarely advocate reloading.
I use my SD card as the data drive. Nothing critical is on the OS drive. I back all my user apps and system app updates with ApkExport. I can fully reload with little or internet and no PC in about 2 hrs. At that point it's about 95% complete.
Starting experimenting with Smart Switch backup; the above timeframe is without Smart Switch restoring settings (time will tell). Make frequent backups to it.
Take advantage of the tools you have available and be ready to reload at any time. Forced reloads are rare but can happen at any time.
Being prepared makes them a lot less time consuming, painful and eliminates most data loss.
After spending over a year getting to know Pie and how to optimize this 10+ variant, I refuse to "upgrade" this fast, stable and secure* platform that I like. It be a waste of time and in my opinion Q is inferior to Pie.
You on the other hand started on Q so up is the only way to go; that may be a better route for you.
You probably will find solutions for your current issues but it's a time consuming process.
Just the nature of the beast.
Play with it... Android's are fun to play with
*as secure as you make it or not.
Goggle is one fat slob of a big sister... don't trust her. AT&T is even worse.
Since I upgraded to android 12 the battery information does not work correctly.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

I have this problem as well after debloating. It's driving me nuts, hopefully someone can list out what you shouldn't debloat in order for this battery usage to works.
I had exactly the same problem but in my case I still don't know if it was after debloating. Following a list in a Spanish forum, I removed several system apps and disabled others when I was still on Android 11, then I received the update to Android 12 + Realme UI 3.0 and everything seemed to work perfectly. I decided to do a factory reset only because there are functions not available like background streaming but I think it is due to the market where you bought the phone (in my case, Spain).
After that factory reset I discovered that the battery app had the same error that you mention. So I did a hard reset from the realme recovery menu but before that I tried, unsuccessfully, to "force quit" the battery app and also clear the cache. Only the new reset solved the battery problem but brought a new one: I couldn't install apps from unknown sources.
So I did a third and final factory reset, like the first time from the settings menu, and right now I think my phone is fully functional again. I did a new bloatware cleanup with ADB AppControl but less intense than the first two times, although the problem I had with the battery didn't happen with the second reset and on that occasion I was more demanding with the debloat.
The only thing that worries me now also has to do with the battery app in realme UI 3.0. Is it normal for the "battery usage" list of apps to take a few minutes to update? In realme UI 2.0 it was pretty much instantaneous, I'm worried I've broken something forever with the debloat and the factory reset. Here you have a screenshot with my battery usage after the third reset and without debloating.

I had exactly the same problem but in my case I still don't know if it was after debloating. Following a list in a Spanish forum, I removed several system apps and disabled others when I was still on Android 11, then I received the update to Android 12 + Realme UI 3.0 and everything seemed to work perfectly. I decided to do a factory reset only because there are functions not available like background streaming but I think it is due to the market where you bought the phone (in my case, Spain).

It sucks but debloating definitely had something to do with it. I did factory reset too and now it's fine. Also had the late update on battery usage stats but I think it will work out after some times, let the phone stabilise itself and all that.
I haven't debloated mine atm so I'm wondering what have you removed while still having the battery usage working fine? Would be nice to know since I can't be bothered resetting again. I hope I can at least safely debloat most google stuff and lock screen magazine.
@NotAnotherRookie This is what I have uninstalled (and disabled) with ADB AppControl for now:
com.android.chrome
com.coloros.childrenspace
com.coloros.systemclone
com.google.android.feedback
com.google.android.marvin.talkback
com.google.android.youtube
com.heytap.music
com.google.android.printservice.recommendation (disabled)
com.google.android.tts (disabled)
com.oppo.quicksearchbox (disabled)
The original list is longer but there are google services that I use on a daily basis. There are also system apps (oppo, realme, coloros... Even one from mediatek? (com.mediatek.omacp)) that I don't want to remove in case it could be the source of the problem, although my battery app bug only started with the first factory reset. Also, I don't know if it's normal but with each reset almost all the deleted apps came back (another user of that forum told me that for him only the disabled apps returned). These are apps that I deleted in Realme UI 2.0 that have not returned:
com.heytap.openid
com.oplus.obrain
com.coloros.healthservice
com.nearme.statistics.rom
com.coloros.locationproxy (I've seen this with different names: oppo and oplus instead of coloros)
About the delay of battery app, do you remember if before the debloat your phone quickly updated the battery usage stats even if it was only seconds? I have tested it with a Realme 6 Pro (UI 2.0) and almost all the apps I used appeared instantly even if they had only been in foreground for 10 seconds. Perhaps it is because the battery app menu is different in 2.0, there is a secondary menu to check usage stats and there is a small refresh time when accessing it.

Alright thanks for that. I also kinda feel that we shouldn't debloat all of the coloros, oplus etc since it seems like scumbag realme decided to make everything connected so if you disable one of them everything just stop working hence this battery usage issue. It wasn't like that in 2.0 as you can just debloat everything from the xda guide list and are fine.
The delay is definitely after the debloat. Right now I haven't debloat anything and battery usage works just fine. I feel that this is something that will get better the more updates we get, until then this is it for us. Just gotta ride along.

I'm not sure, the screenshot I shared was without any debloat and there was definitely some waiting time or delay between using any app and being able to see it in the stats. When you say "battery usage works just fine" do you mean that, in addition to being able to see the hours of 'screen on' and all that, there is a small delay for the stats to update or is it immediate for you?
Excuse me for asking the same thing so many times, my concerns with this phone are the battery app and notifications from whatsapp, telegram, discord... (some sound a few minutes later and others don't appear until I open the app).

Right I have not debloat and it doesn't have any delay. For your issue, i think you need to go to the apps you're using, App info>battery usage>allow background activity>enable it.
This should fix the delayed notification.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing and the only thing I get is that the notification (the popup) sounds two minutes later. It is very strange, as if the message arrived on my phone in time but it forgets to notify me. Other times it is instant.
The battery app dilemma is not the end of the world but I am worried that I have damaged something. If a new problem appears over the days, I'll do another reset and this time I won't delete anything again. Thanks and another question, what tool did you use for the debloat?

I just follow the rui 2.0 debloat guide on this group.
I bought a pixel 7 pro and I admit that I am really disappointed. The camera it is true is of quality but otherwise many problems for me. The most annoying thing is the total absence of notification from the messaging applications or the SMS application. Otherwise the sound works correctly, general sound, alarm sound and even notification from the google photos application which tells me what I have memories of the past. Today I made the last update hoping that finally my problem would be solved but not at all and instead while it was working previously the applications which are reduced disappear and I no longer have the possibility of close open applications it's as if I had not launched any application, the list is empty. Does anyone have the same problems as me?

If you took the latest OTA, just factory reset the phone. I have none of the problems you are experiencing. I suspect you disabled some settings for notifications. Do yourself a favor and factory restore the phone. It's one of the best phones I have used.

The problem is that I already did a factory reset 2 months ago and it didn't change anything. Believe me, I checked all notification settings and everything is enabled even in the app itself. I just got one from google photos and it's the only app I've seen on AOD since I got the phone. I never had another. it's a really mysterious problem. I know that in the end I will end up doing another factory reset because I don't really see any other solution otherwise I would bring the phone back to the store
Uninstall Pixel Launcher updates from Play Store and install it back

Thank you very much it solved my problem about recent apps disappeared
Some settings are also backed up with your Google account so it is possible that maybe done of your notification settings are persisting due to restored backups.

No problems like that on my 7Pro
Was that really the only problem(s) you were having? I guess we have different definitions of "so many". Thanks for the advice, boontje3, it saved OP from this train wreck of a dumpster fire phone
I almost threw my phone in the trash, glad it was fixed.

I think it may be a backup and restore problem but not at the level of the google account settings because while all the notifications are activated at the phone and application level, I don't have any except google photos . If it was a google settings problem (which I haven't changed) it shouldn't prevent messenger or telegram from working normally which is not the case. I suspect the problem is using Samsung smart swith to transfer my data and some apps from my S20+ to the Pixel 7 pro. I will redo a factory reset and reinstall my applications manually. It's true that normally that's what I do but this time for ease I used this application and maybe that's where the problem comes from. if after doing a new factory reset but this time without using smart switch to restore I still have the same problem well I think I will have to turn to a hardware problem or my phone is haunted

Well having a phone that does not receive any notifications even from the basic SMS application is still a serious problem for me. Moreover, this is not the only problem noted. For example I use smart launcher which allows to save the configuration of the launcher. The feature works perfectly on the S20+ but not at all for me with the pixel 7 pro while they are both on Android 13. and during the last update I had to uninstall and reinstall the basic launcher of google because closing recent applications was no longer possible as indicated above by boontje3 which doing this finaly solved the problem
Sounds more like a launcher issue? Action Launcher restored settings for me perfectly just today.

Yes maybe possible but the fact remains that the functionality works on the Samsung not with the Pixel
Just tried Smart Launcher, changed some settings, saved, uninstalled, installed again, restored settings, worked perfectly. So...

So if it works normally for you, that means in the 5 or 6 google system apps that I removed using adb, like Google one or something else (nothing very special and really not much just some crap I don't want ) prevents it from working for me because it still doesn't work. On my S20+ I debloated maybe 50 or more and everything still works perfectly. I specify that the problem with the notifications has nothing to do since it is from the beginning that I have the phone long before I delete these few system app
Your browser is not able to display this video.
So, let me get this straight, you mess with the system software and then you complain that the system does not do what you expect... Ok.
The fact that on your Samsung you removed dozens of apps without a problem only tells me that it's full of really useless crap.
This will help probally, ( They are an AOSP apps, so they can work because they have their own messages prioritet.
