    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    I tested WiFi keep alive early in my troubleshooting. Wifi connection was alive and well when not getting notifications. This is a problem with doze / device idle because of bad code that was pushed out. With doze disabled, notifications are prompt and battery life is greatly improved. Al

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Your Nexus 5X could very well end up with this problem. If it gets the update to what ever file they push a "fix" out to that actually causes the problem, you will end up in the same boat. With that said, my Nexus 6P that I did a lot of testing on when searching for a fix does not exhibit the...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    In my opinion it won't be fixed. If you follow their issue tracker database cases get opened that seem to mirror this problem then get dismissed or disappear. The issues logged are created by consumers or developers logging a complaint. It is going to take an OEM to pressure for a fix. My OEM...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Don't reboot, or limit that for once every few weeks (then you have to throw the adb command at it again). Leave the device on but put it in airplane mode overnight if your old practice was to shut down. I was all set to bail to an iPhone, but disabling doze has really made my device perform...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    When you did the adb command, did it acknowledge back that both modes of device idle were disabled? If not, then you didn’t do the adb connection steps correctly. If you did get the acknowledgement, you didn’t restart the device, correct?

    Is it just manufacturers fault or android?

    Try disabling doze with the device idle adb command: https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-pie/904647-notifications-delayed-stopped.html The problem is not unique to pie.

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    This is not unique to Pie. It is doing it in Nougat and Oreo. It was not doing it until an update of a system file was pushed through to my phone in late August. Prior to that, my phone was perfect. Samsung S8, Android 7.0, security patch Aug 1, 2017. Lots of threads about delayed notifications...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    After you make the connection between your phone and the computer, pull down the notification view at the top of your phone. It should have a line about connecting to charge, or something like that. Click on it, and change it to the file transfer option. If you don't have this showing, then you...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Your observation mirrors my case. It made its way onto my S8 with Nougat 7.0 which is on the Aug 2017 security patch through some other type of update that I couldn't prevent. Some other google app, system file, or Samsung OS/app update. Google's GMail Help forum is littered with complaints...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Lol, doze is their baby and in my opinion the chance they would give users a way to disable is minuscule. See the instructions to developers on this link. It would be up to the OEM/Carrier to give users a simple fix like a simple toggle to disable...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    After you entered the command did you get an acknowledgement that the 2 levels of doze were disabled? If so, then you are all set. The first command I send is: adb devices It will respond back with the device serial number. That way you know that you are connected to the device and it is...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    I just store the 2 adb commands, (device and then the disable), in a note doc saved on my desktop. Easy cut & paste once I’ve got the command prompt. I’m confident you will see that prompt notifications are fixed with doze disabled. Am interested to hear if you notice any change in battery...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Something was pushed out to users if they got an update, or didn’t get an update, in my case. Perhaps a play store tweak or some other fix. I feel like mine was tied to something Samsung pushed out, but hey, it could have been google. I think google supplies base code changes that get packaged...
