Note 9 Att Issues - Messages app and location accuracy - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Looking for some help on two issues.
1. Att Samsung stock messages app shows u read count 11 when I get 1 message and 12 when I get 2 messages etc. Called att and did clear cache, clear data, toggle advanced messages on off. They recommended dumping the system cache but I cant get past the boot download screen on the phone to do so. I have also done a factory reset with no luck.
2. Google location accuracy pop up keeps coming up. I toggle my location on an off and the agree disagree to improve location services Google pop up comes up over and over again for apps, wifi calling, etc. If I hit agree it changes the phone into high accuracy mode with wifi bluetooth and location. If I disagree makes phone only location method. It seems to never stick when I hit agree. It like each time I turn off the location and turn it back on it forgets what I chose the time before.
Any help would be appreciated. I love this phone but these issues are driving me crazy.

[Q] Recommend live data monitor? Data constantly in use, why?

If anyone could recommend a good app to see what app(s) is/are accessing data in real-time, I'd appreciate it. I've noticed the circle arrows in the status bar indicating data syncing is almost constantly on. I have a tiny screen overlay that gives me real-time up/down speeds and it is also indicating data is constantly in use. It appears, though, that this data use is only in play while on wifi, not 3G or 4G, but the symbol will still remain in the status bar while the data monitor that i do have indicates no data is in use.
I'd like to find out what is constantly syncing and correct it. I can imagine this would be a huge drain on the battery. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: I think I found the culprit, but didn't find an app as I had requested. Google Sound Search wouldn't stop syncing it seemed. I unchecked it and everything went back to normal... for the most part. Another Google Service appeared to begin syncing after that, so we'll see if that gets stuck in an endless loop too.

Stamina Mode not disabling Wifi?

So turned on stamina and have no apps in the exception list, it does not appear to be turning off my data nor my wifi when the screen is off? Also I often get an error Photo Analyzer has stopped working when i turn on the phone. How do i fix these issues? I am on newest stock firmware and am rooted.
Wifi and data is Just completly sleeped. Wifi dont drain battery when screen is locked +1 minute. Sorry for bad English.
Yes after a minute of screen off they are prevented from downloading/uploading data, which is the thing that drains battery, maintaining the connection means you typically get to use the internet immediate when you activate the phone again (no logging on etc.)
Why individual apps cause an error message isn’t really answerable – it happens from time to time, sometimes the app’s developers have made a mistake with an update, sometimes if you restore an app from a back up it doesn’t install properly, there are many other reasons too. Try clearing the data in the app, try re-installing it, try clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, try fixing permissions.
I’ve found clearing the data works the most often, not always – I usually get app errors like this after installing a mod/rom.

Note SM-N920C No notifications until I wake screen. Tried Heartbeat fix. Doesn't fix!

This has been happening randomly for a few months. I can go days when notifications are fine and they come through on my phone immediately. Then, for no reason, there are days when no notification show at all until I wake my phone.
They're clearly being blocked and my phone only attempts to pull them in when I wake it. Like a doze setting
It all started around the time Marshmallow 6.01 landed on the phone.
All battery saving optimisation settings are off.
All notifications are set to on.
I have tried EVERY app that I can find to set the Google heartbeat interval to a lower time. None solve the issue.
Factory reset doesn't fix it.
I have (always on) fiber internet so idle timeout settings on the router cannot be to blame for killing the Google heartbeat check.
I have tried it on mobile data only and it is the same
Other people online have had the same issues on other Samsung devices but I can't find anyone suffering from this on the Note 5.
Could it be an issue (somehow) with my Google account, since all notifications have to be pushed through this?
Worried that if I get a new phone I'll still have the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
are u using greenify??? what android u have 6.0.1 ??? did u try on smart manager / battery / to not optimize app u want get notification????
N920c/64g/cc n7 port v3/ arise sound/ doulby /xposed greenify+powernap+amplify
Not got Greenify.
Not enabled any power saving at all.
All apps are set to notify
Either the phone is blocking notifications randomly, or my Google account is.

Notifications Issue

Is anyone having issues with their notifications not coming through, or coming in super late, or having the same notifications coming up over and over? I'm expecting all three problems, it seems to be happening with every app for me except for calls and text. I factory reset the phone but that didn't fix the issue. If I restart the phone, then all my notifications that haven't physically gone into the app to check start pouring in. No idea what could be causing the issue and it's really starting to piss me off. I have already sent my phone in for repair cause my LTE data stopped working for no reason. I don't think both issues are related as I do have LTE data after they replaced some part.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.

I had notification delays with gmail app, fixed it by turning off battery optimization for this specific app.

Some people may have battery saver on and this may cause late notifications. Also check in settings "auto sync", under accounts. I did have some late notifications issue with Gmail app and do know battery optimization usually is the cause, but it went away in couple of days after I bought the phone.
Thank you for the suggestions. I ended up turning on high performance mode. Let's see if that helps.

How'd this work out for you? This phone is horrible for notifications for me. It constantly doesn't send them until I actually pick up my phone, then suddenly I'll get 5-10 notifications at once. I've turned off EVERY bit of power saving that I can find. I only run in high performance mode 24/7 with all adaptive battery, power optimization, auto app sleep, etc turned completely off. I've also tried disabling all power saving and sleep in the specific app pages as well. I need to be more observant, but I think this is mostly with push notifications (ex, my 2FA app for work) rather than apps with timers to check for updates occasionally. I also have an issue with my wifi disconnecting while the screen is off sometimes which is highly annoying since my home presence detection is based on my phone being on the wifi, though last time it started doing that a reboot fixed it.
Unfortunately, a search proves that this is a widespread issue. At this point I've pretty much given up on this phone and am looking to replace it as soon as I find a suitable alternative. I'm just curious if it's a Samsung issue or a Pie issue that will occur on other phones as well.

Seems to be a general issue with android. Mine have gotten better recently. In addition to turning off battery optimization for any apps I want notifications for, i have done the following:
1. Wiped cache (under settings/app/storage), then rebooted into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition.
2. Gone into the setting and made sure apps I want notifications for are allowed to run in the background (settings/apps/select app for notifications/battery).
3. Allowed to run in background when on mobile networks (settings/apps/select app/mobile data/Allow Background Data Usage.
4. Gone into messages/settings/more settings/push message/changed toggle from "Prompt" to "Always".
Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll give some of those a try. I also got a VZW update with the May security patch among other things right after I posted that, so we'll see if that helps at all also.

It's gotten better for me. I enabled high performance mode but I had to keep going in and checking it a couple days after still even though it was enabled. Been a couple weeks now and the notifications I was missing before all seems to be coming in fine now. Time will tell though I guess lol
Are you also having trouble with apps updating? That was another problem I was having where I'd see apps needing to update, I'd start "update all" one app would download and then get stuck at 99% and it would just stay like that for about 40mins and prevent the other apps from updating. Then finally when it would finish the next one would do the same. It would literally take hours upon hours for 12 apps to update when it should only take a couple mins. That issue seems to be fixed for me now too.

Delayed notification for Whatsapp, Signal, G Voice

I did extensive search and found no fix so far.
Problem: if my phone is locked for maybe 10min, then it will not display notification for incoming Signal, Whatsapp and Google Voice messages, until I unlock the screen and run the apps. In other words, I will not get notified of new messages if the phone is locked for over 10 minutes.
Native Messenger app is not affected, it displays incoming message right away. Gmail is good too.
I do not use Wifi, it is turned OFF. I am on Data 100% with T-Mobile. Stock ROM, rooted with Magisk and TWRP.
I have done "Battery Not Optimized", "unrestricted data", Battery saving mode is set Never, and there is no battery saving apps installed such as Greenify etc.
I have removed and reinstalled these apps from Play store, cleared data and cache, the whole 9 yards.
Still stuck with delayed notification.
Anyone with suggestions?
Thanks,
