Not getting notifications until screen is turned on. - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had this problem with pretty much all android phones I have owned. I have been a note owner since the note 2 and as I said this has pretty much always been a problem where after a while you will stop getting notifications until you turn the screen on and then they will all flood in. Usually a reboot fixes it for a while but then after maybe a day or so it goes back to doing this. I spent a year with the iPhone 6 plus and have to say it never did this. I am actually just switching back to the note 5 which is why I thought perhaps I could get to the bottom of this.
I am on sprint, stock not rooted at the moment but in my experience being rooted really didn't seem to stop the problem in the past. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Weird. Do your normal SMS messages behave that way too?

[Q] random reboot/mms bug?

Hi there,
just wondering if anyone else are having issues of their phone randomly rebooting? does anyone know of a fix?
also, sending photos as an attachment does not work. in order to send a photo to anyone on your contact list.
found a work around by going through gallery and sending it directly from there.
if anyone know of a fix for either issues. the help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
kevin
I've had several random reboots. Oddly enough, they usually occurred overnight when I wasn't using the phone. I would hear the vibration on my windowsill and saw it was rebooting. I did a factory reset yesterday and while in the midst of setting everything up on my phone, it rebooted again. I thought that maybe there was too much going on and it overloaded. But last night when I was out and not using my phone, it rebooted again. I'm gonna have to go to Verizon to swap the phone.
It keeps happening on mine, but almost always in the car while attached with BT. I'm wondering if BT has something to do with it, in my case.
Same thing
I am also experiencing the issue specifically at night. I have yet to actually have it interrupt me in anything but its still a concern. Just curious about whether for those of you who are experiencing it are using the Assist app or Android Assistant?
I only use the Assist app for when I'm in the car. It's not setup for night time. I exchanged my phone at Verizon today and so far so good. One of the employees tried telling me that the reboots could have been because I had Better Battery Stats installed on my phone and the battery saver apps can conflict with the OS. I blew his mind when I told him that BBS wasn't a battery saver app and simply lets people know about specific wakelocks. Seemed like no one there had any idea this phone even existed.
For the reboots, I guess tonight will be the big test.
It happened again to me this morning as soon as I got in the car and it connected to Bluetooth. Once it reboots, it's solid.

Please report back. I have gone 24 hours without a reboot with no changes to the device which is a first. If it doesn't have a Samsung or Apple logo no one seems to care anymore.
I can't get Assist to work at all. I typically listen to podcasts in the car and when texts come in I get a notification sound but I've never had one read to me. I disabled Assist to see if this was the cause of my Bluetooth reboots, and it's not.
With Assist disabled entirely, each time my phone pairs with Bluetooth it connects but the moment I start to play something it reboots. It's very consistent.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't had any reboots with the new phone. I exchanged my old one for this one on Monday and so far everything's been good.
I have now had 3-4 random reboots that I have seen. I have also witnessed a complete lock up of the phone. I will be heading into Verizon today to exchange my phone.
Just wanted OP to know more people are having issues.

[Question] Nexus 6 randomly reboots, sometimes power button doesnt work

I am checking to see if other people see this on there Nexus 6.
I get random reboots, like once every 2-3days I would say. (Is this Memory Leak?)
Also sometimes I cannot unlock with power button, it will stay black screen. Here sometimes it reboots, sometimes if I wait 10-20secs it works again.
I am wondering whether to return it for another one.
Actually I never faced with my device. And currently my device's Up Time is about 180 hrs. Running last 7 days without any problem.
Go to this link and look near the bottom of the page. Paul, from Google, is reporting that 5.1 should "reduce unexpected reboots." Hope that means they have fixed it and they just used the word "reduce" instead of fix because of the fact that any phone might reboot given the right set of circumstances. Hopefully, persisting reboots will finally be fixed. If you read the entire thread (very long) you will see that many people have reported random reboots and they have experienced them under different circumstances. I'd like to know if they've found what is triggering the repeated reboots for everyone---only time will tell. Some have exchanged their phone for another and had success. Quite a few others have reported receiving 1, 2, or even 3 different replacements and still experiencing reboot problems. Don't know what the answer is. I'm just sitting back observing, waiting to see if it gets resolved before purchasing the N6. If I don't see a satisfactory resolution, then I probably won't get one, even though, before it was released, it sounded like the just the phone I wanted.

I have the same problem on my T-Mobile Nexus 6. 2 reboots in the past 24 hours. It occurs randomly too. I just got the phone like 3 days ago so I'm hoping that 5.1 will fix this issue. Next to the reboots I haven't had any issues with the phone. It pretty badass actually. I switched from the Note 4.
Thanks for the feedback! I really like the phone no way I will get rid of it for this issue. Its just annoying as nexus 5 I didn't. Have any issue like this but I guess KitKat was a more stable than LP.
I will await 5.1 which sound imminent

Note 4 Answering Calls On it OWN when connected to BLUETOOTH

I have owned pretty much every Galaxy phone so far and though I've loved each one, there's a few completely annoying issues that I end up having solve through a custom ROM, launcher, a developer script, or something along those lines. I thought for once with the Note 4 I would be able to for once keep everything stock besides having it rooted but it looks like I was wrong.
The issue I'm having right now is driving me through the wall. My phone answers phone calls AUTOMATICALLY ON ITS OWN when connected to BLUETOOTH.
It happens consistently, the exact same way, every single time. When I'm connected in my car it answers after exactly 2 rings (2 seconds). It is getting ridiculous and sometimes I just want to toss the phone out of the window while I'm driving down the freeway. Its extremely annoying to have your phone answer a call that you absolutely no intention of answering, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'm tremendously busier in the past year and don't have time to sit and tinker like I used to or I'm sure I would've either solved this or gotten a new phone by now.
I already made sure auto-answer is OFF: Settings > Call > Call Accessories > Automatic answering [Box is not checked]
THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE PHONE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ON ALL 3 OF MY CARS & 2 OTHER CARS I'VE TRIED.
Please, if anyone knows how to fix this issue or anything about this completely ridiculous issue, please share.

Random vibrating and getting kicked out of apps!!!

Hi all,
I'm at the end of my tether as my P20 Pro has started glitching incessently.
It's vibrating randomly (and regularly) and any time I try and go into an app it kicks me out within a second or two. I've not dropped my phone, it's not been in water and it's really starting to p*ss me off as I literally can't even send a text/WhatsApp without being booted out.
I've had the phone around 20 months and the cynic in me thinks Huawei may have deliberately bugged it to force me into buying a new phone. I've tried deleting unused apps, clearing cache, deleting old gallery videos etc but it hasn't made a single bit of difference.
I know there are a lot of posts on here about notification issues and random vibrating but this is definintely nothing to do with notifications. I've loved this phone since I got it but the past week or two have seriously p*ssed me off and I just want to smash the phone!
If anyone could help I'd be forever in your debt!!!:fingers-crossed:
Cheers
Slim

When it's vibrating is anything happening in the notification bar?? Mine started doing that last week and it was a call app I had installed. It could be you have to go through the notification settings for each app. Is there any particular application that you are noticing it on? Sorry for the questions. I hope you are OK x

Hi mate,
No nothing shows in notifications when it vibrates. It's actually a different type of vibration than you would get for a normal notification as well. It's a very rapid vibration that comes and goes. Initially it started kicking me out of my camera gallery and then started happening on other apps as well (Google search, Golf Clash, Snapchat etc). It's settled down the last couple of hours but I know it'll flare up randomly again at some point!:crying:
I also have problems with people trying to hear me on phone calls as well but assume that's probably a completely separate issue!
Cheers

Instead of smashing the phone I would suggest factory restore.

Have you ran the support app see if it's a hardware issue? I'd try and do a factory reset if that does not work because its difficult to diagnose. I hope you are staying safe x

Question Delayed notification problems S21 Ultra

My S21 ultra has a delayed notification problem. Apps like eBay, PayPal, Gmail ETC will not receive instant notifications until I actually turn on the screen.
Apps like my Ring alarm, Aqua Mail will get instant notifications just fine. I've have tried everything like adding the apps to the never sleeping list, turned off adaptive notifications, set the apps to not be optimized by the battery ETC.
Why will some apps receive the instant push notifications while most others won't?
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this mess?
Sitting with the exact same issue and gone through all settings. Must be missing something.
I've had a similar issue, but just with a few apps....but they're only occasionally not sending me notifications or are sending me notifications for things that I've never seen before lol. So with Snapchat, for example, I usually get notifications for new snaps that are sent my way, however, on this phone, I occasionally get notifications that I've received a snapchat from like 20 people at once (when the reality is, all of those people had just updated their snap stories within the last few hours)...
Anyways, I was gonna say: "Make sure the apps aren't in sleep mode," but you have clearly tried that by assigning them to the never sleep group...
Definitely an odd issue. Guess I should just feel good due to it not affecting every app on my phone.
Another weird thing , if you have the app toggled off to not optimize battery it is automatically removed from the never sleeping apps list.
I believe this notification problem has something to do with Android Doze?
Anyone find a solution? I am experiencing this also with some notifications, not all despite coming from the same app.

Nope, no solution at all. Now, I'm not even getting missed call notifications.
Apparently it's a network issue.
Link to Samsung post
Its not a network issue for me because im referring to twitter, facebook, whatsapp etc not sms messages.
Never had this issue with the iphone. Its my only complaint with the S21 Ultra but sadly its a big one for me. Sometimes they come through fine and other times they refuse to come through unless i put in my fingerprint and unlock the device. Makes no sense. They were always instant on the iphone wether the regardless of wether the phone was off or on. With Samsung it seems i have to keep the screen on constantly to ensure i receive notifications

Yes, my iPhone 12 Pro Max and the S21 Ultra sitting side by side, iPhone instant notifications, S21 Ultra dead to the world until you turn on the screen. It's a problem with Android Doze and there is no easy fix.

Thats ridiculous
I have noticed that sometimes i get notifications but no sound so they come through silently. I don't recall any Samsung phone having this issue before ?
It really sucks that I like this phone a lot, but I get notifications on my damn S7+ Tablet before I do on my phone. Doesn't matter what wifi or cell network. There is definitely a problem, and a wipe and reload, or clearing cache does not fix it either.

My Tab S7+ 5G has the same notification problem as the S21 Ultra.
Likely Android attempting to save power....
I've had the same issue on Huawei and Xiaomi flagships
I have noticed that when I receive any type of message the first time it is basically instant, but if there comes a bunch of the same type3 of notifications through, it's muted...eg...If my friend sends me a whatsapp once I get the notification...but if the friend sends me 10 pictures all together, I will only get notified of the first one, thereafter all wil come through silently...this is for all types of notifications....it doesn't help with your issue, but also frustrating

I thought i had a similar issue but i soon realised that some times not even the first notification comes through if the screen is locked. There is occasions when it feels as though the first comes through and the rest cannot be seen until i unlock the phone. Its annoying but weird as hell that it seems to only happen with twitter from my experience. Granted that twitter is the app i receive the most notifications from but im confident whatsapp for instance doesnt have this issue as i seem to get every notification regardless of wether the screen is locked or not
oh finally I am not the only one having notification issues. got no porblem with mg s10+ both android 11 but this s21 ultra really have this notif weird problem.
Let’s be clear, this is not a Doze issue. People have been pushing that agenda for such a long time. Doze only kicks in after a certain length of inactivity, however the delayed push notification issue in Android is constant. Note I said Android, that’s because this issue affects every Android device, not just Samsung.
Someone is reading this right now thinking “my Android phones fine, I don’t have an issue with delayed push notifications”. You don’t think you do, but you do. Perform this test, and I guarantee the results will be the same no matter what Android device you use:
Set up both an iPhone and an Android phone with Facebook Messenger (same account)
Make sure the screen of both devices is sleeping
Get someone to send you a message through Facebook Messenger
Repeat the above a number of times. You will note the messages come through on the iPhone without delay, but many will be delayed on the Android. There is no fix, trust me, I’ve done everything you can think of. Turning off battery optimisations for affected apps, disabling Doze via ADB, etc etc etc. There have been many “fixes”, and some do reduce the delay, but they don’t “fix” it. I’ve had Samsung, Motorola, HTC, LG, Xiaomi, Google Pixel, Nokia, Alcatel and every single one of them has the same issue.
It’s clear there is a fault with Android Push Notifications, and it’s been there for many years. Until Google finally admits there’s a fault and deals with it, I’m afraid Android users are stuck with the problem. From what I’ve seen of Android 12, there’s still no fix, so for now I’ll stick with iOS.
