custom notification for Gmail in OnePlus 3T Orio, Android 8.0 OxygenOs5.0 Won't work

Tried adding a custom notification to Gmail.
Went the usual way: Settings > Sounds > "Ringtone for messages designated as Default" > local ringtones
The list of available tones on the phone comes up, but when i choose the one I want it wont sound, will appear as "chosen" but wont ring when mail comes in.
Red the threads, turned notification into .ogg, put it in same directory where all the notifications are, set -rw-r-r, and rebooted. now it shows on the list, sound when i choose it yet when Gmail gets a new mail the system will use another notification from the default list.
Any ideas ?

Have a look at Settings> Notifications> Gmail.

When i do that and reach gmail >press "gmail" logo on top> app info> battery> (bottom of scree) battery optimization > text in GRAY "doing optimization to battery" but tapping on the gray text has no reaction.
on the other hand "Gmail" does not appear on the optimization list on settings> battery> battery optimization

See screenshot for where you should be. Then tap on Email and select the sound you want.

Thank you for swift response.
Checked my phone (BtW it's the Hebrew version for Israel) and i have the exact same options marked but the vibration option which i allowed on my phone.
But, when a mail comes in to Gmail the phone chooses a different notification (other then my custom one) and ignores my previous setting

Battery optimization - problems with background sync

Hi
First of all I have the chinese variant. So I don't know if the settings are a little different than on the global variant.
On Oreo I found two different battery settings.
The first one is in Apps&notifications - See all apps - select an app - Battery - Battery optimization. If the developer adjusted his app for Oreo battery optimization, you can select this. In some cases you can also activate "Background activity" here. I have no idea what these settings mean exactly and how they influence background sync and activity.
The second settings are in Battery - Background activity manager. There you can active "Auto Active" and "Lock Screen" per App.
So let's talk about my issue. If I set "battery optimization" in the first settings, it will disable background sync in the corresponding app. For example I open Google Calendar, active sync there, close the app. Open it after maybe 30min it will tell me sync is disabled. Also with this setting I won't get any Whatsapp messages if the app isn't in the foreground.
If I activate both options in the second setting it will work. What I don't get: With some apps these options change the first setting. Some apps stay at "battery optimization" and some apps fall back to "not optimized"
However I think with these settings the apps use more battery.
Anyone tried these settings? And tested the different possibilities?
Why is it so hard to do battery optimization and still get push messages in Gmail oder Whatsapp? Why I have to manually change settings to get this working?
Thanks for your answers!

Obvious step is to set every possible app to battery optimization mode (that's your first one). It's not possible to turn this on for every app (some simply needs to stay on all the time). Battery optimization doesn't disable sync for apps immediately, but only when device is in deep sleep. Also u can blacklist some of them (that's your second option) which drain more battery even with optimization option turned on. Try to blacklist apps which u don't use so frequently and u don't need to check for notifications so often.
I use those settings, keep few apps that need more of my attention, rest is blacklisted.

Led notification Problem Mi 8

Hi guys, i have a notification problem with mi 8..the LED works on 70% of the notifications but 30% does not let me see, I noticed that there is a connection between many notifications and few, when I receive maximum 2/3 most of the time the LED lights up, while I get more than 3 starts not to light up anymore ... it's not always like that, but for many times yes. Obviously I also tried the wipe cache and dalvik, but nothing...same issue with 10.0.6 and last 8.10.25 (xiaomi.eu). On application settings and led notification setting is all "ON", no power saving in these apps. Anyone can help me?
Update:
After several tests I found that the same problem is repeated for the vibration when notifications are received, sometimes it vibrates sometimes not.

I think you are having your first encounter with MIUI's default features. Go to Settings > Installed apps, select the app or apps for which you want to "fix" the notifications for and tap Notifications. From here, select the feature or features you want to receive notification for and how to receive them (Notification light, vibration, etc). When I say features for this, well every app has it's own set of different components to notify you of. For example, Facebook has several options to choose, lets say you only want vibrations and LED for comments and friend requests, you can set those to only provide the notification light or vibrations when you receive them. Gmail on the other hand has few options relating to the types of notifications you receive (since obviously it's only related to email and there are no comments or friend requests on it). Each app has it's own set and you can control what or how you get notifications. If you are still seeing that you are not getting notifications on time or so on, then the default power saving feature may also need adjusting. Go to Settings > Battery & performance > Choose apps and select the app or apps you want to "fix" the notifications for and select the option called "No restrictions". The default setting is useful for saving power, but this also stops certain apps from displaying notifications as soon as you get them (there is a delay which I still don't know if it is random or if it is every hour, few hours or so). Not all apps abuse your battery, but of course some do, such as Facebook which can be annoying if you receive lots of comments, uodates, etc.

es, the problem is that I have already set all this that you tell me, but many times loses the LED notifications / vibration too often. Could you make me a screen of the notifications app installed section of ex. whatsapp (which I always use) so I copy preferences? maybe there are conflicts, if you activate one thing the other does not work well etc. otherwise I do not know what to think ..

App notifications

For some reason I am not getting notifications from one app except one time last night. it's enabled within the app and when I go to settings >> app >> notifications, everything is turned on. is there another setting somewhere I'm missing?

Anyone has any idea how to solve it? tried reinstalling, deleting app cache, deleting partition cache, but nothing helped.

YouTube Vanced is doing that to me

It's frustrating and I also noticed gmail doesn't always alert me of a new e-mail when the screen is off, even now I used the phone and gmail notification doesn't show at all. what is happening with this phone? never had this problem before.

GMail has been flaky for me on some other devices before.
I wonder if it's Samsung's "put apps to sleep" feature that's causing some of this.

I noticed the same thing after switching back from energy saving mode to optimized mode.
On the energy saving mode I only reduced the CPU speed but still no notifications, so I went back to the optimized mode.

Just checked the sleeping apps and my problematic apps aren't listed there.
I'm always on "optimized" power mode since I got it, I even put them in 'apps not optimized' but it changed nothing.
it's bad enough there's no notification LED but not being alerted when there's something new is a downgrade for me.

Since its on topic, any way to stop the stock messaging app from waking the screen with its notifications?

Try going to Settings >> apps >> messages >> new messages >> click on 'lock screen' & select 'don't show notifications'. do the same with 'General notifications' and see if it works.

I've found Pie very intermittent with app notifications count badges, from S9 beta to S10 now

I hope they fix it if it really is pie, the problem is I'm not getting ANY notifications from one specific app and I should be getting many a day.

I am having the same issue, hoping for a fix.

that stops the notifications from showing on the lock screen all together.
back on thread here - I was only receiving gmail notifications in batches and only when i'd wake the screen and unlock the phone. I turned off battery optimization and it seems to have corrected itself. Any app that you are not getting notifications for, make sure they are not being battery optimized.

Oh you mean like whatsapp messages wake up the screen, no idea how to change it to get a notification without the screen.
Yes I already tried placing these apps in the 'not optimized' list but it didn't change anything. gmail is still random & the other completely mute.

That thing to turn off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Have never worked for any Androids I've had. It doesn't give instant notifications for apps not being optimized and the battery is not becoming any better if every damn app is being optimized either. I don't understand why the setting is there if it doesn't do a thing.

Does anyone face the issue that WhatsApp calls do not turn on the screen when screen is off? When I receive a WhatsApp call, I hear the ringtone, but the screen remains off, once I double tap to wake up the screen, I see the WhatsApp incoming call interface. Normally, incoming WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the screen and show the incoming call interface...

Question Gmail app will not show notifications

Hi all,
I'm having to resort to posting here before I pull all of my hair out.
I'm running stock MIUI 13(.0.10). In the Gmail app, my account settings have notifications set to 'all'. The 'manage notifications' button that brings up the system settings has notifications enabled (sound, vibrate on). Sync is set to last 30 days, and enabled. General settings > manage notifications has everything enabled through the system settings as well. Apps > Gmail > Battery Saver is set to no restrictions.
What am I missing? It's not that it's not alerting to notifications but they still appear, they are just not present at all. I manage multiple inboxes through my primary Gmail account, and this is hugely annoying.
