I have Bluetooth and wifi on all the time, I use an app that wakes the screen for several notifications throughout the day, 120hz, vivid colors... Getting about 5 hours of SOT. I can't seem to kill the battery. Comes off charger about 7am, back on between 10-11pm,and the lowest I've seen it go...

I usually go with Nova. Been using it for years. As far as TouchWiz vs the new UI (forget the name), it wasn't just about that, but more about the bloat and overall experience with Samsung's apps and tweaks. Like I said, I've heard it's much better now, so I'm looking forward to the new phone...

I have never owned a Samsung phone and swore I'd stay away. However, I heard that the new UI is a much needed step up from their old junk, and my Pixel 2 XL is acting up. I went for the BOGO at Verizon for the 128gb Plus in gray. Ends up being $450 per phone, plus the Samsung credits, which I'll...

I personally prefer the ones that can be adjusted versus the stationary ones. My vents move too easily, so being able to adjust the phone to the perfect angle is key for me. Plus, the occasional glare from the sun may also require adjustments. I use this one...

My XL2 did this late night on Day 30 after buying it from Target. I took it back the next day, and asked them to do a swap for a new one. I had reached out to Google about a warranty replacement, but, A. they wanted me to ship it to them before I could get a replacement, and B. the replacement...

Since that's a different issue than what others are seeing, I'd suggest safe mode to see if it still happens. If not, it's a rogue app screwing things up for you. If it still happens, you've got a problem.

After the developer of the ad blocker replied to me, I went back in to re-enable it so I could send a bug report. I noticed there were two options on the main page. One to enable the ad blocking feature, and another to enable a snooze feature. I disabled the snooze option, as I felt it was...

Well, I'm getting everything now as usual, so that was definitely my problem. I don't know what apps could be causing it for others. If you use a VPN, that may also be the issue since my ad blocker was set up that way. Good luck to all.

Ok, so I may be onto something. I am not 100% certain, but I decided to turn off my ad blocker app today, and it "seems" that my notifications are coming in as they should. Is anyone else here using an ad blocker? Specifically, I am using AdClear from XDA. I still want to test a few others...

Verizon

When you all wake up in the morning and grab your phones, do you have any notifications at all? I do not. It takes about 20 minutes or so for the phone to realize it's being used, and then they all flood in at once. This is pathetic.

Ok. Yeah. AOD is off for me. But I've been using Nova for years without issues, and am a beta tester as well. But, if you tested it with Nova and without, then that's not it anyway. Thanks

I don't know what AOD is. And I can't believe that using Nova vs the stock launcher would affect notifications. They aren't related in any way. It seems when I do get one for an app, then all of a sudden, I get all app notifications at once. I know Google implemented a doze feature as well as a...

Same issue for me as well. I get texts in a timely manner, but none of my other notifications come through like they should. Emails, credit card, alarm, forums/blogs...they come all at once, hours after the fact. I tried the same things mentioned above with battery saver, optimization and...

Every so often, my fingerprint scanner has trouble recognizing my fingers. I wipe the scanner down with a Clorox wipe, then reset the fingerprints. Usually makes it work great again. Not sure about the headphone jack issue. Have you tried multiple headsets? If you get the aux cable to work...
