Help with notifications going to "sleep"

[Android Central Question]

Since the last update I am having problems with notifications not coming through until I pick up my phone. The notifications that I miss are from ebay, YouTube, Facebook, Facebook Messenger and weather alerts. My phone will stay quiet all day then when I pick it up, I will get 5 or 6 various notifications. I will get a severe weather alert for a thunderstorm that passed hours ago. I will get "item ending" notifications that ended hours ago.

I understand that there is a battery/data saving function. However, as far as I can tell, I don't have a single app listed for monitoring. I have the "data saving" turned off.

Before the update, there was a section in the settings where you could add apps that you wanted the power saving function to ignore. I had all the apps that I mentioned in the list and everything worked fine. After the update, that list seems to have disappeared.

Can you please tell me what to do as this is extremely irritating?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? One potential solution is to go to the Battery Optimization menu and make sure those apps aren't optimized.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S9+. I have attached screenshots of my settings.

Hmm. It might be worth turning on the sleep option, just so that you can select those apps you don't want to sleep, to see if that triggers something.

I am STILL having the same issue. This is maddening! I have tried everything that has been suggested to this point. Can anyone please help?

I just missed an important ebay auction! This is driving me crazy.

Let me ask some of the other Ambassadors ...

B. Diddy thank you very much for absolutely anything that you can suggest.

I forgot to ask you before -- do you have any 3rd party battery saver or "RAM booster" apps installed?

Also, is the data saver option you mentioned the same as Restrict Background Data?

 

[fadetoblack73]

I don't have any 3rd party battery saving apps installed. The "data saving" I referred to is the "adaptive battery" setting and the "put unused apps to sleep" settings.

 

[B. Diddy]

Ok, check this setting.

Can you tell me where to find the "Optimize Apps" settings?

Sure the easiest way go into settings write optimized battery usuag then tap it
You'll see battery not optimized tap that and choose all scroll for the apps you want to take out
