Anyone else having issues with email notifications

[mustang7757]

So out of "Optimize battery usage" or "Never sleeping apps" which is the better one to select?

You can only select one or the other but not both.

To me it's same if you take it out of optimized it shouldn't be able to go to sleep.

Would an app having no permissions selected have anything to do with delayed notifications?

Good question, my Gmail has permission to calendar and contacts, can try and see

Something else you can try is locking that app so it does not stop in the back ground by pressing the 3 lines on bottom of phone when on your phone home page. Do not press close all yet, first find the Gmail app and press & hold until a lock symbol shows up in the lower right. Then you can press close all and all apps except Gmail will close.

Maybe this is my problem, I'm a fanatic for closing apps.

I will also give that a go, thanks

I can confirm that keeping the app open and locked open makes no difference at all with getting instant notifications.

Back to the drawing board..........

I've had better luck getting notifications now that I turned off battery optimization for AOD. Still not 100%, but around 90%. Go to settings, apps, always on display, go to battery and change it to not optimize battery. Also make sure you have toggled to allow background activity. Hope this helps others as well.

You might be on to something here, mine was set to optimize battery.

I'm hoping that will be the solution. Keep me informed how its working for you.

I have the exact same problem with my S21 Ultra.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock the phone.
2. Put it on the table, and make sure it is not in charging and don't move the phone.
3. Make sure there are no other notifications during the period.
4. Wait 30 minutes and send a test mail.
5. Email will arrive within 20 minutes

Please report to Samsung members.

Hi, welcome to AC !

Yeah that's what we trying to figure out here, some say it been that way from older Samsung to the s21

Yea, this has made no difference for me. Was hoping it would though.

Welcome to the delayed notification club :-\

That sucks, mine has been OK lately but getting worse. Have reported to both Samsung and Google. Hopefully they can get it figured out soon. The more people complain the better

My Tab S6 has the same problem and it's still on Android 10.

Funny how the Gmail/Google apps work perfect on the iPhone but fail miserably on Android.

I noticed something interesting today. My Pixel 4 XL also has delayed notifications. They're not as bad as my Samsung phones though. My iPhone 12 Pro Max gets notifications instantly.
