No modifications on several apps - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

At least 2 of my most important apps, doesn't display any push notifications.
Other apps does that with no problems.
I've configured those apps to be unmonitored under the battery settings, but no notifications from those apps whatsoever.
Any advice will be very welcomed.

Are the notifications allowed in the app settings for those two apps? Or exactly how this issue appeared? Since day one, after updating, reinstalling or what?

Yes. Both are specifically allowed for displaying notifications.
It started from day 1 of my note 8 experience (a month and a half ago).
I'm on the latest official version (7.1.1) no root.

3rd party Task manager apps not working

I'm kinda disappointed with the high RAM usage of my mi 5 so I went looking for the running services but I can't find anything on the system. I'm not satisfied with the default task manager on the recent apps so I went looking on the playstore but every time I went to see the running app list, it always come up empty. Why is that? Is there a fix for it?

Push notifications still not working for some apps

Hi all.
I am sure this question has been asked again and again.
But I am having troubles with push notifications working for some apps
I.e. Pushbullet, kaokaotalk
They don't work unless i open the app.
WhatsApp and Facebook seem to be working fine.
Anyone have an absolute fix?

Even gmail and Google inbox don't work.
They have been setup as protected apps etc already

Try adding them to the memory whitelist.
Phone manager>system optimization (paintbrush)>settings (gear top right)>memory cleanup whitelist
My understanding is apps in this list will not clear the memory when you "kill" the app. I could be wrong. Please respond to this post if this fixes your problem or not.
Two important settings, under Battery (protected) and under "Apps" (ignore optimization). Also try to put CPU to performance

Solve -> Problem with Pushover notification on lockscreen
my notification did not show on notification and lock screen.
1. Phone manager>system optimization (paintbrush)>settings (gear top right)>memory cleanup whitelist
2. Setting>advanced settings>Battery manager>Power plan> Smart or Performance>
3. Setting>advanced settings>Battery manager>Protected apps> Turn on for Whatsapp and Pushover
4. Clean Master < I think this is the culprit causing problem > Ensure Tools>Notification Cleaner is disable. My was enabled. and it cause notification not to show on the Lock Screen.

I have a note 8, but emui 4.1 is pretty standard across the line. Having the exact same issue. Have tried the PNF, whitelisted google play and whatsapp in the memory whitelist, protected apps, ignore battery optimizations etc.
I can repeat the error. So it seems that it ignores the whitelist like you suspected.
Steps. Clear all apps.
Open quicksync manually sync accounts that i want to show up.
Notifications appear.
Go to app task manager view with the square button, kill app.
Send message. No dice.
Have even tried using the PNF heartbeat fix, but to no effect.
Now i have one odd issue. When i received the device, google play services was already installed, but some how it was in the system folder despite the phone being locked. Not sure if that is an issue, since if anything i would suspect that would be helpful instead of harmful, but i have no way of removing it to test since bootloader is locked , and the play services is persistent over a factory reset.
Anyways, any other solutions i have not thought of would be helpful, huawei makes such nice devices, but if you get stuck on a chinese rom, it can be a nightmare for some.. went through the same headache with mate 7 but managed to solve its notifications issues.
Go to Settings-->Accounts-->Tap on the Menu button at the bottom-->Check[?] Auto-sync data

Yes I have tried that. For now I think i will just add my chat clients and aquamail to the locked status on the task manager and keep them open... I have tried all iterations of power saving, etc.. so I think it may just be the build unfortuneately. Hopefully EMUI 5.0 will be a bit less invasive, as they said they are going back to a more stock android vibe to compete in international markets.
Hello, I am in the exact same situation. Did you get some luck?
I updated mine to emui5, but nothing changed.
Do you have a AL10 chinese version? I am thinking that this might be the point.
Thank you.

Troublesome apps

Over the last 3 days apps, specifically Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Samsung Internet and YouTube, won't function properly. They come up with pop-ups asking for a restart but they never do. An uninstall/reinstall from the Play store fixes the problem only to come back after some time. What's going on?

I noticed the same thing with YouTube. I thought it had to do with substratum theme. A complete reinstall fixed my issue as well.

This is for me a common Substratum Issue / Behavior, I've noticed this also under some LineageOS Devices.
As mentioned before a complete reinstall of the Substratum-Theme solves this in 99%, the other 1% is mostly solved by updating the Theme if an update is available.

I tried uninstalling my substratum theme but the problem persisted. It is mostly Facebook that's buggy now. I also forgot to mention YouTube but it's working at the moment. I'd really hate to have to hard reset coz I've gotten the phone to a point where I am really comfortable with it already.

I'm experiencing the same issue with WhatsApp. I've reinstalled the WhatsApp overlay, uninstalled the overlay and even completely reinstalled WhatsApp. It still crashes and asks me to 'restart WhatsApp'. The funny thing is that I'm still able to answer voice and video calls and I'm able to reply when a new notification pop ups. When I try to open the app it force closes itself.

BLOATWARE sprint note 8

Has anyone put together a list of system apps that fall into the bloatware category and maybe even a list of non system apps that are bloat?
I have not rooted....YET.... but NOT because of the 80% battery, I have never had a phone I did not root within the first day I got it but I have read that many are saying they are finding other ways to do most of what they use to need root to do so I want to try this myself to see if I can possibly live without root.
Have any of you found the disabled bloat system apps still running or syncing in the background? if so have you found a way to kill them?
I dont have a windows pc anymore so trying to do this without the need of connecting to a pc to freeze apps.
BK disabler, bloat ware tab.

awesome. thanks! I paid for the BK Disabler and also downloaded systemUI tuner and shortcut master for hotspot.
I did a couple adjustments in display settings and am now getting around 18 hours give or take on a battery with moderate usage.
I tried to use SystemUI tuner for the annoying volume message but I still get it and bixby keeps turning her volume to halfway and I have to keep turning her back up, but other than that im rocking a non rooted phone for the first time ever......
thanks for for the reply, BK disabler did the trick for the bloatware.

Delayed notifications after upgrade to Android 8

I have a tmobile note 8 and ever since I upgraded to Android 8, push notifications are coming in delayed and all at once at random times. Take outlook for example, an hour might go by and then all of a sudden dozens of notifications hit all at once. I checked if maybe battery settings were messing with outlook but it is not blocked and my phone is in performance mode. Seems like my phone is going into a deep sleep and not doing push notifications as they come in. Any idea what is happening?
Same thing happened to mind after update. But seems to be resolved now. I think I went into Apps then pressed the three dots in the up right corner and chose reset app preferences. I also messed about in the notification menu somewhat prior to that.

Factory reset. A good practice after a major software update.

Disable the GOOGLE app in app manager. It should ask you if you want to go back to the factory app. Just agree to this. This is assuming you checked to make sure Battery Manager wasn't turning off your app or the data saver wasn't killing your app data access. If you have done these things and your app notification is still delayed it is being caused by the GOOGLE app. Listed as "Google" in app manager. Hope this helps someone else.
UPDATE: I should have mentioned for a permanent solution and to allow you to continue using the GOOGLE app you can go to the Google Play Store, find the installed GOOGLE app, click uninstall to revert to the factory GOOGLE app, once uninstalled click the three dots at the top right and Uncheck the Auto Updates to the GOOGLE app. This will allow you to retain the factory app functions and should resolve this notification issue at the same time.
