Missing notification because no sound - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Since beginning i have my phone I'm facing this issue... most of time I'm don't hear even feel the vibration of some notifications. For example, I have the phone in my hands and put it into my pocket, 2 minutes later I take my phone again and there are notifications from gmail, whatsapp, etc, notifications that didn't beep or vibrate.
What can I do? Maybe I mess up some settings or something.
Thanks guys.

Check your Notification Settings to make sure the app(s) in question are turned on. If so, look at Advanced Notification Settings...my wife's were set to "Show silently" once and that was the fix. Good luck.

All my settings are ok.... is really frustrating because I loose whatsapp, gmail, etc.

Same issue
I have the same issue after the Oreo update ,, with two different phones (a S8+ and a Note 8),notifications sound/vibration stopped working. Tried factory reset and the problem persists
The solution is restart the phone and the notification sound/vibration back again...
It looks that also Pixels users have the same issue https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/notification-sounds-stop-randomly-pixel-t3720585

Also make sure none of those apps are sleeping, check the whitelist for those apps.

unknown annoying notification!?

I tried searching for this notification sound but i couldnt find it, i disabled most of the notifications and i still get it randomly.
Screenshot or a description would help. Try tapping and holding down the notification , from there you can see what app is sending the notification

The reason why im asking is that it doesnt show any notification "sign" or any status, it is unknown, its just an annoying "sound" like its running on my background, like a "ghost", after that its gone with no trace.
I tried looking at "running apps" but its not there. I tried looking for that particular sound/audio on my device but couldn't find it.
So it's just a sound?
Just a weird random annoying sound, which is like a ghost thats untraceable

Had the same problem. After searching everywhere in settings I found the cure in 'Accessibility'. It was awhile ago, but I believe 'Notification Reminder' was set to on. Turning it off, fixed it. Not 100% sure, I'm remembering this correctly, but it's worth a try.

Annoying 4 note notification sound

The sound is 4 progressively higher notes on a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument. Usually plays on unlock, but also randomly throughout the day and night. My default notification sound is silence, so this might be tied to an app or the OS (MM 6.1). I just don't know what it is - other than loud and inconvenient. Any Ideas? This is driving me crazy and waking my wife at night. Thanks.
its an app, 100000%. now your job is to find out which one.
Hi and thanks for the confirmation Simms22. :good: I know. Kinda obvious.
I have gone through settings and turned off most radios thinking it could be tied to an app through BT, GPS, NFC, etc.; a successful connection or location fix. I have also gone through the various apps and checked their notification sound settings too. No dice. Whats worse is that I have gone through all my ringtones and notification sounds and can't find it.
It seems to be tied to the Google Now cards notifications, but if it is, I can't find it. I don't really want to turn those off but I guess that's next. Grrrr.

id still be guessing, but google doesnt have a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument sound on the nexus 6, so i know its not a default sound.
Thanks for the info. Hope I described the sound well enough. I'm mostly deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other. Misspent youth and all that.
I know the notifications and ringtones I've added. That leaves apps that have brought their own sounds with their install. So it's back to the haystack.
I think I'll let it percolate in the sub-conscience for a while. Besides, I'm way behind on a personal Tasker project. Thanks again. I'll update later with what I find out.

you can enable safe mode. that way you can check if its an app. long press the power button until you get the power off option. then long press on the power off until the safe mode option pops up. if that notification doesn't go off, then its an app. as on safe mode, all apps are disabled.
Flash another ROM. This happened to me on PureNex and when I switched to Chroma it went away.
Sometimes it actually happens once in a while. I'll hear the annoying "do dieu do doo" sound
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I also have this problem. Has anybody found out the cause?
It started a few months ago and I ignored it, but now it is really annoying.
I put my phone into safe mode and it still happens. I assume this means it must be a preloaded app?
I installed a notification history app and nothing is listed when it happens!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

whatsapp notification push issue

Hello fellow note 9 owners....
I'm facing an issue when I close whatsapp and lock the screen I don't get notifications that I have new messages nor do they get delivered to me unless I open WhatsApp. I think I tried everything to fix it.... Here's what I tried
I put WhatsApp in the unmonitored app list in the battery settings, I'm in performance mode, I cleared cache, I uninstalled WhatsApp, reinstalled it fresh not from a restore. Is there anything else I should do to fix this?
Mine is okay so far (exynos) however, when I am connected to whatsapp web (on my computer, on the same wifi network with my note 9) , it'll lose connection to the phone at random intervals. I'd have to unlock the phone, launch whatsapp for whatsapp web to be connected once again.

I tried still the same problem
Got the same problem with both Whatsapp and Viber, and often with fb messenger.
It seems that I cannot fix it since I tried literally everything and yet, on my friend's note 9, everything is working flawless.

Have you put the app to sleep?
Same issue but for nearly all apps which require the internet for a notification. Only get the issue on mobile data, when connected to wi-fi all are instant.

Make sure you turn this off.
I also have the same problem i have tried a lot of solution but none works.
Changed Rom several times, using PNF-root to change heartbeat interval, uninstalled Universal GMS Doze, setting whatsapp as not optimized, deleted whatsapp and data.
Nothing just nothing have helped, im currently on syberia Rom xiaomi Mi5.
But i dont think its Rom related because i had the same problem on Xiaomi.eu ROM and other Roms
Thks for this tip as I was struggling to find the culprit despite knowing this was rhe issue I had it on by mistake.
This settings now are more buried on pie so forgotten this one.
EDIT: STILL HAVING THE ISSUE

Hi, How did you solve your problem?

Actually I thought it was solved by turning off the battery optimization (which it was on by mistake) and thought it was solved but tonight had again the same issue.
In the morning received only the notifications/messages after opening whatsapp.
I'm not sure if this options below might not also be part of the issue (despite not making sense but who knows...)
This might be a problem for people running Android Pie and One Ui on their Note 9s. I don't believe these problems existed on Oreo. Lets wait a see when an update will be pushed to fix this problem. Until then my wife's Note 9 is staying on Oreo.
For those of you that have updated to Pie how has it affected battery life? Better or worse? If better by how much? SOT Etc

When I got the note 9 the update for Pie was 3 days after so didn't have the chance to have it properly tested, but I think I had the issue on both versions.
This issue exists since Samsung introduced their device maintenance. Switching off batterie optimisation for WhatsApp was the solution for me. Actually only WhatsApp, threema and k9-mail have problems receiving push in standby on my phones, any other apps I use don't have this issue. Therfore I think it's more an issue with the apps, less with the rom. Also Samsung states in the settings that apps in standby may not receive actualisations or send notifications.
Go to stettings->apps->WhatsApp and turn off batterie optimisation
Before Samsung introduced this feature, I was using greenify and had the same issue with some apps.
Like I mentioned earlier. I had issues with Telegram and WhatsApp notifications on Oreo. Now on pie beta 3 no issues. Also my WhatsApp and telegram *are* battery optimized. So I'd say you should be looking at other avenues to remedy this problem. Maybe review the app notifications for whatsapps carefully.

The app notifications are flawless.
The issue is not the notifications, otherwise they would be there but just not being notified on the system.
Even when opening the phone and unlocking it, they are not on the phone, BUT when the app is opened you start actually receiving the messages in a fast manner flow almost like they are just being texted at a very fast pace, so it seems more like they have just been pushed rather than having the message there and simply not notified, otherwise would be having a static last message.
The app seems to be in sleep mode even when whitelisted.
At the moment I have absolutely everything off inside the optimization
The background mobile data is ON
IS even allowed while data saver is ON (Which I don't use anyway)
The sleeping apps, for whatsapp is whitelisted (OFF)
AND it still have the same issue, either the app is optimized or not optimized which does not make sense.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have 1 note 9 with Gbwhatsapp and another note 9 with stock Whatsapp. Have issues on both.
One was updated to pie and then did factory reset and restored from cloud (unless the backed up settings somehow contributed to an error and other was just OTA updated without any reset. They even operate on different networks.
Seems pretty odd...
To me the app is showing exactly the same behavior as behaving like the list of "sleeping apps", despite the fact it's whitelisted.

2 questions.

Hey guys I do have two questions to ask. I would greatly appreciate some answers and feedback. First off is it possible to flash the AT&T LG v40 ROM to a T-Mobile LG v40? Second I'm having a problem with my sound in terms of the notifications and the ringer. It turns itself on at certain times yet I don't have context awareness enabled. Is there some thing I might have enabled that makes it turn on like that.

It happened to me too.
I spent about an hour going into the Notification Settings for every application and 'Resetting' them all to Default while making sure Do Not Disturb was turned off on all Apps.
Then went back and set the Do Not Disturb to the settings of my choice in each app and for phone-calls and it's never failed me yet. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but I only know this way.

Notifications when screen is off not working?

I have Edge Lighting enabled and set to always on and the 2 apps I want to show notifications when the screen is off are enabled: Signal and Orgzly. I disabled Always-On Display and Edge Lighting should still work, right? My understanding is that with Edge Lighting, my screen is off and when I get notifications, it will trigger. Essentially, it's a replacement to the traditional LED light. The only time I've seen Edge Lighting triggered is when I'm actually using my phone (i.e. the screen is on), which is pretty pointless. The only time the screen goes from off to "notifying" me is when I'm getting a call.
I'm not sure if I need certain permissions for the apps, but I did enable notifications for them. I have disabled "Allow background activity" for all my apps--don't think this is relevant.
Any help is much appreciated. It's frustrating because I've been using my S10 significantly less than my old phone just because I'm not getting any notifications when the screen is off, which is most of the time.
P.S. Not sure if related, but occasionally I'm not even getting notifications unless I literally open the app, then I get bombarded with notifications accumulated. It's not so often that I feel there's a solution for it.

gmail, is samsung email client any good? didnt bother trying cause oem apps are usually sh*t.
i think it's some kind of power saving setting, sometimes it happens on other apps too.
