    Didn't receive a Whatsapp notification until I unlocked my phone 4 hrs after; anything I can check?

    I never worked out a solution, sorry! Although, it's only done it once or twice more since I started this thread, 99% of the time the notification comes through as planned. Sorry I don't have better news.

    How did this dodgy "Software Update" notification appear?

    Google Chrome auto updating without permission

    As somebody on productforums at google said (can't post link)... "If you think this is 'accidental' or a 'fix' is on the way, then I have some swampland in Florida to sell you". Couldn't agree more.

    Hi ironass, I already have turned this off as you described, and I have never had Clean Master installed, but yet the notifications continue. Do you have any other suggestions?

    How do I stop "App optimisation" push notifications?

    On my Galaxy S5, every couple of days, I get a push notification called "App optimisation". "Save battery power by optimising the power usage of apps" bla bla bla. I don't want this notification, ever. Normally, the way to get rid of unwanted push notifications on Android is to long tap the...

    Didn't receive a Whatsapp notification until I unlocked my phone 4 hrs after; anything I can check?

    Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 5.0. Just now my friend called me on the landline, concerned because I didn't answer his Whatsapp notification. I told him I didn't receive one. So I unlocked my S5, and there was no notification on the screen. However, 4 or 5 seconds after...
