[Q] List for Samsung: Froyo user problems - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there already a list with collected problems after the Froyo . I'm sure that Samsung is following everything that's on XDA, and maybe it's a good idea to put them in one Thread.
My Problems:
- still no support for Exchange 2003 email. It worked once, but only very slow and after returning to the original settings I suddenly was not able to add my account again...
- Mp3 player in sleep modes, doesn't return to the last played song. Very annoying if you close the player to check email or surf on the internet...
- battery drain looks worse after updating to 2.2

GPS is the worst problem

Which version with anything like a lagfix ??
-exchange I'm not using (because I redirected them to gmail) so I can't tell
-mp3 I use it every day and I always find it where it was
-battery drain might be related to a lagfix have you done this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722862 ??

Slow exchange mail froyo.xxjpo

Hi all,
Last week i flashed my i9000 with the froyo jpo build, since doing this my exchange mail is so slow. When i open the email program now my phone hangs, eventually it comes back to life but i still cannot navigate the email. The scrolling stills and i almost never get emails to open.
Is this a known bug; and is there a fix?

It's a known Froyo problem with exchange accounts, only a lagfix will fix it.
Also, set the exchange account to "Push" to prevent a wake-lock which drains the battery
Can you advise me on how I can root froyo, it seems that all the methods and apps I have found are only for 2.1!

I have come across your message via google and have almost thrown away my galaxy mainly because of this terrible performance. I used to do my mail via my iPod touch 2nd generation which still outperforms even as 'old device' the galaxy. I updated 2 weeks ago via Samsung Kies after long waiting and tracking the news about the foreseen froyo performance benefits. However, apart from people mentioning Touchdown or K9 as alternative for (corporate) email, it 's still unclear to me how to solve this specific issue other then using the Galaxy as mobile accesspoint for my iPod touch. A bit stupid for such a device.
Besides this, after the update I loose icons like nu.nl on my homescreen after rebooting for sure but also without..
I would love if we can get directions how to solve this in a way that I do not 'blow up' my device. Yes, I have read - not done yet - about Odin, unrooting etc. but I, like akaVintz, need a more 'proven solution guide' because the lack of experience in the Android environment.
On 2.1 I used to have and Exchange and a pop3 email account set up and all worked fine.
When I updated to 2.2 the whole mail client became very very slow and many times it used to hang and many cases it would force close the email app. I simply did a factory reset and this corrected all the issues. I didn't really loose anything as my contacts etc etc are syncd with exchange I just had to download and reinstall some apps
I to have done the factory reset, like you say it's not really a problem when all your contacts are in exchange, it just doesn't seem to of cured the slowness. I really just want to apply what ever I need to sort the lag out on 2.2. Everything I have found refers only to 2.1.i have downloaded apps and they won't work for me. Please help...¿

Maybe is a service relating to a third party app that might be causing it. Do a bit of trial and error stopping and restarting services. I found one of my ip widgets was causing a lot of slow down once removed I got back to 2.1 speed.
Email performance 6 weeks later Galaxy S 2.2
As suggested I did a factory reset and it looked this corrected the mail performance issues. Having added only a few apps in the meantime (and moved to external SD card where possible), and killed any widget on the main screens I again suffer from lags (force kill email) and Android BSD instead of windows BSD. Difference is Black and Blue. Having Black Screens of Death in 2011 is not very user friendly. Reading further about something like z4root etc. makes me feel like switching to the IPhone or giving it a change. No idea of the email works better then. Apart from that, comparing my 2,5 years old ipod touch email app which does HTMl flawless with this Android 2.2 exchange client is like Apple was already 5 years ahead a that time. Anyway, it does not perform at all, did a side by side test with a HTC desire which theoratically should have been slower....but not....drives me to the last option of rooting. But wich one? So to start the weekend I hope some can share their (rooting) experience giving my Android experiences with email.
Just rooting won't make Exchange email any better. Flashing a newer ROM (which will bring root in the process) will. JPO is considerd an old ROM by now. We are at JPY by now, which is a lot better, lagfixes are no longer needed to have a fast Galaxy.
Flashing is really simple with Odin, just make sure you can get into download mode before attempting flashing and there is almost no way to mess up your Galaxy S for good. All original ROMs are available at samfirmwares.com, i suggest to read up on there, or read the Android Development subforum (which can be intimidating i admit)
I am uncertain if JPY have any improvements on this but I encounter the same problem in a stock I9000 ROM
- Click on the exchange inbox, took 3 minutes to go to the list of email
- Click on email , took 3-4 minutes and you may see the email or the email application will crash.
I was super frustrated by it as it a company mail system that I rely on, so I root the phone and get lagfix... currently with around 108 mails in inbox...opening every mail is a breeze, also facebook and android market load much faster too.
I am using a I9000ZSJPE s.w as its a Hong Kong Rom
Much better email performance with JS3 the dutch jpy update
Yesterday i flashed with odin to this samsung pre-released stock update after installing the 3 button recovery/download fix. The performance increase is indeed extreme good and to my surprise the email client suddenly supports html to a degree i can live with now. i cite someone who wrote that obviously samsung released a great piece of hardware but to early for delivering good software. anyway i really can recommend this version 2.2.1 after a lot of frustration.

[Q] Three problems with CM7 and Milestone a853

Hi.
I'm new to these forums and have had a good look for threads relating to the three issues I'm having but haven't come up with much directly relevant to them. Hopefully someone will point me in the right directions. For the record I'm using the latest CM from nadlabak, 7.2.4e.
1. First issue is the camera not focussing bug that I have seen references to but mostly old ones where it was meant to be fixed in an old update. My camera is terribly blurry, though once in a while, it will be quite sharp. It doesn't correspond to the 24.5 day cycle that the original bug was meant to have. Changing the date on the phone has no effect on the problem (though I'm not sure if it's meant to). Is this a problem that some milestones just have permanently/
2. Recurring events in the stock Calendar app don't seem to work. When I try to create one it says that the event is created but then there is nothing in the day/time slot that shows up. Changing an event from a one-time event to a recurring one results in the event being deleted as well. Anyone else experiencing this?
3. Setting the phone to automatically use date and time information from the mobile network doesn't work. I'm pretty sure this used to work on the phone, perhaps before I installed Cyanogen on it, but that's a while ago now so I'm not sure.
Any help anyone could give me on the above would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill.
Hi Bill,
You have some really strange problems. I've never heard of them.
Try out some 3rd party camera app from Play Store or a different rom. Maybe the camera issue is hardware related.
I could only test the calendar from CM10, but it worked fine.
I checked CM7 two weeks ago and time/date worked.
What was your previous rom?
Thanks for the reply. Previous rom was an older build of CM7, something like a year old. All of the problems were present then as well. I've tried another camera app (Camera 360 I think) in the past and it made no difference, but I'll try again.
When you say that calendar was fine in CM10, is that specifically with recurring events. I've found since my original post that it appears to be a display issue, as when I sync to iCal (I'm on a Mac) via Syncmate the events do turn up in iCal. I just can't see them in the stock Calendar.
Bill.
I'm using Google Calendar and have a plenty of recurring events in it. They are in perfect place on my Calendar app. I also created one recurring event from my phone, just for testing your issue, and it worked fine.
I think you should take a look at this: http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358

Cyanogenmod 11 for HTC One Mini 2

Hi All,
I know this is a fairly new device, but I was super keen to get it specifically to put cyanogenmod 11 on. After having some trouble with the current version of TWRP posted in another thread here on XDA (which only worked when the phone was in an "out of the box" state, requiring me to do a factory reset due to a mini android update that was automatically applied between reboots - resolved), I got the stable channel release of CM11 which is listed as not having any issues, flashed it, and am having some issues.
The main problem I am experiencing is that regardless of which player I am using, if I open "Settings" from the status bar, whatever media I am playing goes silent. The player appears to still be playing, changing tracks, removing and reinserting headphones, clearing the playlist, re-opening the player...nothing fixes it. And then randomly some time later it will start making sound again if I leave the player running. Is there anyone else that can provide insight into this one? I have heard the problem is addressed for some in CM12, but that is not yet stable for our device.
Cheers.
I can confirm that you also lose system sounds, and that it applies even if you have no headphones plugged in and instead use the phone speaker. Total silence after accessing the settings from the statusbar. I have of course posted this on the Cyanogenmod system, but they have closed it pending a report dump which I cant produce till i am back at my android modding PC.
You have to remove the equaliser from quick settings. You can also use cm 12

As much as I understand you requiring help, you should post questions in the Q&A section and not in the development section.

Is this not a cyanogenmod 11 development issue? Happy for someone to shift it to Q&A if its not a development issue (I dont think I have that ability). Or are development threads only for posting finished products?
CONFIRMED: Problem is caused by equaliser quick settings tile
OK, so I can confirm that the problem is indeed the equaliser quicksettings tile/animation. So as described above there is a work around, and for anyone that needs to know the actual steps to disable the equaliser quicksettings tile please see below (it took me a while to work out as you cant just remove it with a drag/long press the way you can other tiles):
Go to settings>Notification Drawer>Quick Settings Panel>Dynamic Tiles
This is a list of the quicksettings tiles that pop up when triggered by a system event, disable the "Equalizer" (Sic) by unticking the checkbox and the bug goes away.
The equaliser continues to work, you just dont get the quicktile popping up and causing the bug.
Cyanogen Mod developers appear to have picked up the bug so maybe a fix coming to stable release soon?

The latest nightly release of CM11 now includes a fix for this bug. Official release channel still contains the bug, although it does not list it as a known issue for some reason. The next release M channel version should include the fix.
Calendar Not Working CM11
Next problem: trying to add anything to the calendar results in a user prompt that an account must be added first. I only have the cyanogenmod account linked to the phone, and that works fine for contacts. But in the calendar, if you select the cyanogenmod account, it tells you you can only have one account per phone. If instead you add an email address and set up say, work email, when you go back to the calendar it gives you the same prompt again. Does anyone know exactly what kind of account it requires to add, as nothing seems to work. Someone suggested to me to install the Google Calendar Sync component fro G-apps, however this would presumably share my calendar with google, which is precisely what I am trying to avoid by having cyanogenmod. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

MIUI12 Notification again

Hi everyone, I hope you can help, because I have a great phone, but I'm getting to be very frustrated with this day for day.
Surely because of notifications issue. I have no notification for some apps. Equal what I do. For some apps I have just a part of notifications. And for some I absolutely don't have a problem, because everything works like a charm. But I don't need them all, I need that notifications works for apps that I need. And they don't...
Here is the short list:
kompletelly dead:
Famcal - family calendar - does not notificate at all. Absolutelly need it for my daily life :/
Pi Network - the same, but surpisingly sent one notification today(first time since installed a month ago) as I switched the "adaptive notification" off
partially work:
Familywall - family calendar(have had to change to this because the app above didn't work) Works fine for day or two, but then freeses and do not send anything more. If I spend time to find a solution and swith all swithces "off" and "on" again suddenly wake up and send me tons of old notifications.
Telegramm - worked fine for a month, but then all chats were setted up to "silent" and I didn't get a hint about that.
Family link - worked for a day, then not anymore
works like a charm:
whatsApp
banking (at least this works)
Viber
AqDiary (i'm very frustrated that this works, because the app is not commercial and was't updated since years. But works w/o any restriction)
What I did before:
Everything I could find in the web in russian, german & english(clean reinstall of the phone; Autostart; lock in background; battery management without restrictions; synchronizing; background data; allow notifications for lock screen and and and). Nothing did help at all.
Last try with xda developers. Do you have a good hint for me? What can I try to bring this damn issue away? I have had tons of different phone over the years, but never a Xiaomi. And never I have spent a second to care about notifications(and this is one of the basics functionalities in my eyes). Everything worked fine. Why not with MIUI?
I actually like a stock MIUI and don't want to change to custom ROM. Therefore this endless trying to fix inside of stock rom.
Great thanks!
P.S. I tried to turn off an "adaptive notifications" from "Notification" to "no service" or to "android adaptive notification" and I have had a feeling that it has changes something. But after 2-3 hours this option changes on hers own back to "Notification". May be it's a hint?
to stupid question from my side or no clues here? Thx
Hi, same issues here.
K20 pro, within "notification", witch s the miui solution I don't have messenger and Instagram notif at minimum.
So I did like you, set on "android adaptative notifications" but as you point out we return on miui solution without doing anything.
I am trying to understand how it happens at the moment.
Do you have any solution since your post?
Thx
no. I changed the ROM to Ressurection remix after endless try on xiaomi.eu and some other roms. Nuff said

How To Guide How to fix notifications on Vivo X90 Pro+

Seeing as there are dozens of people who are claiming issues with receiving notifications. I figured it's time to make this thread.
The following has worked for me to restore notifications for every single app I use.
To date, I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with getting any notifications from any apps. Regardless of the app itself, time, battery state of the phone or 4G/5G/Wifi et cetera,
These are the steps that I have done. They worked for me. If you have already done other steps and things are not working for you. You may likely have broken something on your own, in which case these below steps obviously won't work for you.
Steps.
I got my new phone
I ran the Debloat Script
Rebooted the phone to check everything is working, no force closes etc.
Installed the apps I needed manually (did not copy from any previous device or use a transfer app)
Settings > Battery > Set to Balanced
Settings > Battery > Background Power Consumption > for messaging apps and other real-time important apps I set "High Background Power Usage"
For each app > Go to "App Info" (longtap on app) > Permissions > All Permissions > Autostart ON
Install APKPure store
Update these: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Carrier Services
Reboot
Make a test notification from another phone to my Vivo - it works.
Open the app, then use the App Manager to swipe it away from the recents drawer
Make another test notification - it works.
Most of this is just simple a' la: https://dontkillmyapp.com/vivo
I have tested this with the following apps (and many more I could not be bothered to list):
Whatsapp (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Facebook Messenger (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Telegram (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Signal (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Threema (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Snapchat (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Google Photos (sync works fine, also got shared photos notification)
Gmail (all email notifications working, also Google Meets notification reminders)
Google Calendar (calendar reminders all working)
Microsoft Todo (reminders working fine, also added shared tasks notifications working)
Protonmail (all email notifications working)
Tutanota (all email notifications working)
Weawow Weather (weather alerts working fine, plus persistent notification not being killed for weather)
Pano Scrobbler (automatically opens and detects any playing music correctly even if I haven't opened the app in days)
Youtube Vanced (subscription notifications working fine, so are recommendations)
NewPipe Sponsorblock (same as Youtube Vanced)
This allows apps to start by themselves (also when invoked by another app in the background), it also prevents them from ever being killed in the background so you still get notifications.
Other things to note:
Dark Mode - I have it set to always on, no problems with notifications whatsoever and I have never had a problem
Do Not Disturb - When the schedule is set, all notifications are still received but are muted
com.vivo.pem - Still installed on my phone, I never removed it and I do not recommend removing it
120hz Mode - I am using this all the time
Battery saving or task killing apps? - I have none installed. They are all unreliable.
TradingShenzhen - I got my phone from here
System Version - PD2227C_A_13.0.19.0.W10.V000L1
Battery drain?
My phone barely even drains 20-35% in a day. This is by far the best phone I have ever used when it comes to battery drain. I have never had a problem with the battery draining at all. Not even randomly or overnight. The longest I have left my phone on without any kind of reboot is about 9 days. The phone drains on average about 1.3% per hour if I am not using it and 3% an hour with light use. Even using the camera and taking 4K video, the drain is very minimal. I use auto brightness and I have the always-on display turned off.
Battery drain will always come down to how you use your phone:
How much you pick it up,
Did you Debloat your phone,
Do you play games (I do not),
Are you using 5G (much higher drain) or Wifi (lower drain),
Do you have lots of apps syncing high volumes of data in the background,
Do you have Bluetooth on constantly and NFC in the background always on,
Do you watch a lot of videos (I do not),
Do you regularly properly close apps you aren't using?
and all things like this. As always YMMV. For me though, I could not get a single day out of my Samsung S22U. I can get almost 3 days out of my Vivo X90 Pro+ whilst taking a lot of photos, quite a few videos, having a few calls and using my browser a lot.
Here's 2 screenshots of my battery usage. Purple bars are background usage, which you can see is really nice and low for all apps. Turquoise (blueish) is foreground usage and I think those levels are normal. Notion is a massive battery hog, so is Libby. Notion due to sub-optimal coding and the over aggressive syncing it does when you're even just typing. Libby is just badly made. Likely I will also prevent Libby running in the background, but I allowed it only so I get notifications when my books are ready.
What about *x* app?
I don't know man, do these steps and try it for yourself. This is just what I have done and I have literally a perfect experience with this phone so far, which I think is to be expected because I wasn't chopping up my OS and removing system apps etc. If you feel like you are having a really bad experience, likely the only way forward is to fully factory reset the phone and try these steps.
What about com.vivo.pem?
Look. Friend... If you haven't figured out by the screenshot evidence and everything else I've been saying here and in my other threads, that you absolutely do not need to remove it (and absolutely should not). Then I can't help you and I won't say it again. What I will say though is this. There are a few people who have removed it, all of which STILL are having problems. ALL of which who are facing far WORSE problems like battery drain so bad that one of the biggest advocates for deleting this package is now selling his Vivo X90PP because he's unwilling to admit he bricked it by removing this package. Yet despite this he's still telling others to remove it . What we do know? Well removing to causes massive battery drain, your phone won't even last a full day. Removing it also can make it impossible to install any apps after an OS update . Removing it can also do all sorts of other weird things with your phone like force close apps randomly and cause random restarts. So why did people remove it? Because some "genius" was convinced it was a good idea. Because one guy who owned an X80 said it solved a problem getting his notifications to work. Because instead of looking for a really solution, some guys got out the axe and started hacking. So, keep the package? The worst you'll get is what... a notification might not work (which this whole guide should fix anyway). Remove it? Then only God can help you (or maybe a factory reset). My advice: Leave the package alone. If you already removed it and are having problems, factory reset and run the new debloat script and follow this guide.
Final word
I don't really use this community at all. Nor do I check posts very often. I help out only in my spare time and I don't have any interest in being some active member. In the past I have found this community unwelcoming, toxic and full of chest beaters, so I am really only interested in getting the tools and info I need and then getting out. I am not sure even why I bothered fixing the script for everyone else, I guess because it was simple and I really love this phone and want others to enjoy it. In short, I want more good phones like this and with a little bit of tweaking it can be an amazing device. However, lately, a lot of people have been DMing me after I fixed the debloat script, like over 20 people. Please do not DM me, I will likely not see these posts at all. All my notifications are disabled now after too much spam. Plus I won't reply to them individually. Make your posts in a thread where more than just me could give you an answer and do not pose your questions to "just me". I won't help you with your specific issues. The community here has always been adamant that you need to help yourself, otherwise just buy some overpriced Samdung or iPhone and forget about XDA altogether. My 2 cents.
In any case, I hope this thread helps some people going forward.

You're on my ignore list but I will reply to you this once only. Yes and those chats don't notify me when they are muted but my unmuted group chats notify me on every message. That is, the chats work fine, the exact same way as on my other phone. I don't want muted chats to notify me anyway.
Only viber doesnt work in dark mode in my case (it lights up screen with no content shown and no sound, no notification shown on garmin fenix 7) in light mode works perfectly
Thank you for the guide. But after some time my apps stop getting notifications again. What the solution for that? I have script 2.6 too and vivo pem active.

I currently have vivo.pem active , there is old debloat script that kills vivo pem, i would recomend that you kill only com.vivo.pem only. Delete other lines leave only vivo pem.
Also i have noticed when you run new and then old script then battery drain starts.
I always do factory reset before debloating and never restore using unbloat script.

Hi mate
Can you please tell me if your floating notifications pop up for WhatsApp? (The small message preview windows at the top of your screen whilst unlocked.) They work for every app except WhatsApp on mine.

Seeing as there are dozens of people who are claiming issues with receiving notifications. I figured it's time to make this thread.
The following has worked for me to restore notifications for every single app I use.
To date, I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with getting any notifications from any apps. Regardless of the app itself, time, battery state of the phone or 4G/5G/Wifi et cetera,
These are the steps that I have done. They worked for me. If you have already done other steps and things are not working for you. You may likely have broken something on your own, in which case these below steps obviously won't work for you.
Steps.
I got my new phone
I ran the Debloat Script
Rebooted the phone to check everything is working, no force closes etc.
Installed the apps I needed manually (did not copy from any previous device or use a transfer app)
Settings > Battery > Set to Balanced
Settings > Battery > Background Power Consumption > for messaging apps and other real-time important apps I set "High Background Power Usage"
For each app > Go to "App Info" (longtap on app) > Permissions > All Permissions > Autostart ON
Install APKPure store
Update these: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Carrier Services
Reboot
Make a test notification from another phone to my Vivo - it works.
Open the app, then use the App Manager to swipe it away from the recents drawer
Make another test notification - it works.
Most of this is just simple a' la: https://dontkillmyapp.com/vivo
I have tested this with the following apps (and many more I could not be bothered to list):
Whatsapp (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Facebook Messenger (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Telegram (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Signal (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Threema (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Snapchat (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Google Photos (sync works fine, also got shared photos notification)
Gmail (all email notifications working, also Google Meets notification reminders)
Google Calendar (calendar reminders all working)
Microsoft Todo (reminders working fine, also added shared tasks notifications working)
Protonmail (all email notifications working)
Tutanota (all email notifications working)
Weawow Weather (weather alerts working fine, plus persistent notification not being killed for weather)
Pano Scrobbler (automatically opens and detects any playing music correctly even if I haven't opened the app in days)
Youtube Vanced (subscription notifications working fine, so are recommendations)
NewPipe Sponsorblock (same as Youtube Vanced)
This allows apps to start by themselves (also when invoked by another app in the background), it also prevents them from ever being killed in the background so you still get notifications.
Other things to note:
Dark Mode - I have it set to always on, no problems with notifications whatsoever and I have never had a problem
Do Not Disturb - When the schedule is set, all notifications are still received but are muted
com.vivo.pem - Still installed on my phone, I never removed it and I do not recommend removing it
120hz Mode - I am using this all the time
Battery saving or task killing apps? - I have none installed. They are all unreliable.
TradingShenzhen - I got my phone from here
System Version - PD2227C_A_13.0.19.0.W10.V000L1
Battery drain?
My phone barely even drains 20-35% in a day. This is by far the best phone I have ever used when it comes to battery drain. I have never had a problem with the battery draining at all. Not even randomly or overnight. The longest I have left my phone on without any kind of reboot is about 9 days. The phone drains on average about 1.3% per hour if I am not using it and 3% an hour with light use. Even using the camera and taking 4K video, the drain is very minimal. I use auto brightness and I have the always-on display turned off.
Battery drain will always come down to how you use your phone:
How much you pick it up,
Did you Debloat your phone,
Do you play games (I do not),
Are you using 5G (much higher drain) or Wifi (lower drain),
Do you have lots of apps syncing high volumes of data in the background,
Do you have Bluetooth on constantly and NFC in the background always on,
Do you watch a lot of videos (I do not),
Do you regularly properly close apps you aren't using?
and all things like this. As always YMMV. For me though, I could not get a single day out of my Samsung S22U. I can get almost 3 days out of my Vivo X90 Pro+ whilst taking a lot of photos, quite a few videos, having a few calls and using my browser a lot.
Here's 2 screenshots of my battery usage. Purple bars are background usage, which you can see is really nice and low for all apps. Turquoise (blueish) is foreground usage and I think those levels are normal. Notion is a massive battery hog, so is Libby. Notion due to sub-optimal coding and the over aggressive syncing it does when you're even just typing. Libby is just badly made. Likely I will also prevent Libby running in the background, but I allowed it only so I get notifications when my books are ready.
What about *x* app?
I don't know man, do these steps and try it for yourself. This is just what I have done and I have literally a perfect experience with this phone so far, which I think is to be expected because I wasn't chopping up my OS and removing system apps etc. If you feel like you are having a really bad experience, likely the only way forward is to fully factory reset the phone and try these steps.
What about com.vivo.pem?
Look. Friend... If you haven't figured out by the screenshot evidence and everything else I've been saying here and in my other threads, that you absolutely do not need to remove it (and absolutely should not). Then I can't help you and I won't say it again. What I will say though is this. There are a few people who have removed it, all of which STILL are having problems. ALL of which who are facing far WORSE problems like battery drain so bad that one of the biggest advocates for deleting this package is now selling his Vivo X90PP because he's unwilling to admit he bricked it by removing this package. Yet despite this he's still telling others to remove it . What we do know? Well removing to causes massive battery drain, your phone won't even last a full day. Removing it also can make it impossible to install any apps after an OS update . Removing it can also do all sorts of other weird things with your phone like force close apps randomly and cause random restarts. So why did people remove it? Because some "genius" was convinced it was a good idea. Because one guy who owned an X80 said it solved a problem getting his notifications to work. Because instead of looking for a really solution, some guys got out the axe and started hacking. So, keep the package? The worst you'll get is what... a notification might not work (which this whole guide should fix anyway). Remove it? Then only God can help you (or maybe a factory reset). My advice: Leave the package alone. If you already removed it and are having problems, factory reset and run the new debloat script and follow this guide.
Final word
I don't really use this community at all. Nor do I check posts very often. I help out only in my spare time and I don't have any interest in being some active member. In the past I have found this community unwelcoming, toxic and full of chest beaters, so I am really only interested in getting the tools and info I need and then getting out. I am not sure even why I bothered fixing the script for everyone else, I guess because it was simple and I really love this phone and want others to enjoy it. In short, I want more good phones like this and with a little bit of tweaking it can be an amazing device. However, lately, a lot of people have been DMing me after I fixed the debloat script, like over 20 people. Please do not DM me, I will likely not see these posts at all. All my notifications are disabled now after too much spam. Plus I won't reply to them individually. Make your posts in a thread where more than just me could give you an answer and do not pose your questions to "just me". I won't help you with your specific issues. The community here has always been adamant that you need to help yourself, otherwise just buy some overpriced Samdung or iPhone and forget about XDA altogether. My 2 cents.
In any case, I hope this thread helps some people going forward.

I killed vivo.pem at sunday and it's good. what you say from remove is not right!
@M5Pro60 but do your floating notifications pop up for WhatsApp?
Btw, if I have my phone in vibration mode with screen off it doesn't vibrate for many app notifications . Seems to be just another bug related to notifications. Then when I switch on the screen the notifications arrive delayed sometimes, sometimes not....
Also the notifications don't make it onto my Fenix 6X pro with vibration mode...
Just a rotten software with bugs everywhere....
I did everything as in the first post:
- reminders made on the same day (yesterday) - everything worked
- today, next day, again Google Calendar does not send notifications.
All settings are preserved, nothing has changed.
I don't understand what happened now?
