On my S7 Edge, S8, and S8+, I've been able to selectively disable Battery Optimizations from apps like Nine (Email), Facebook Messenger, and other apps to ensure they don't go into deep sleep mode (Doze) to ensure timely receipt of emails or Facebook Messenger Messages.
On my Note 8, the menu is unchanged from the other devices, but I noticed the functionality is no longer working. The difference being Android OS 7.1.1 vs. 7.0 on the other devices.
In FB Messenger, the tell is when you open the app after a few minutes, if you see the orange bar that says "connecting to network", you know the app disconnected in deep sleep (Doze). With Battery Optimization disabled for this app, this disconnect should no longer occur, but it is.
In Nine, the tell is when your phone randomly pushes a bunch of emails to you, sometimes 20-30 minutes delayed when on the earlier Samsung models, the emails come in right away. This is not an app-related configuration issue, but Doze issue.
Perhaps a glitch? Has anyone else tested on their Note 8 and experienced the same?
I wouldn't even know how or where to report a bug like this to Samsung.
No one ever replied. Has anyone experienced the above? Perhaps resolved now? I ended up going back to my S8+ because of this problem.
Had same problem with random disconnections even with Battery Optimizations and Battery Monitor disabled for Messenger, Im using an old version now (91.0.0.19.70) with the old interface and no problems since... I found latest versions of messenger very buggy at least for me.
About Nine, don't know as I use Outlook and never had a problem with it since I have this phone.

On my S8+, I use the latest versions of FBM (beta stream). No issues with regards to connectivity itself (the app is buggy sometimes as its beta though). It was only on the Note 8 where even disabling the battery optimizations for Messenger (and other apps) still forced them to disconnect.
I have the same issue. My phone is Factory unlocked and from Malaysia, used with an American Sim card inside.
So I recently bought the Asian version
SM-N9500
Android 7.1.1
I also experience the issue. Took EVERYTHING off app optimize battery usage. Even took it off monitor list and added to white list. Delay is still there.
I've just downloaded an app off the play store called PNF No-Root which basically pushes every 5min (you can set different interval up to 1min) that syncs everything. So far i've gotten whatsapp msg 2m-3mins late but so far I can't figure out what else to do to fix this.
This is driving me insane when my entire business is built online and I need to respond ASAP.
Was this ever resolved? I'm worried the issues will carry through on the S9

I'm aware of these steps. The issue was on the Note 8, these steps were ineffective as opposed to the S7 / S8 series of devices where it worked just fine. I was wondering if this was ever resolved on the Note 8.

For resolved you mean that if it works in note 8? Well, it works fine with my 950F exynos 128 GB, in fact, vital systems app are not easily dozed, the likes such as chrome, keyboard, playstore, gallery, sms, gmail, etc

Ok it would be tough to test with you then. With Messenger, if Doze is enabled, the app will keep losing its connection and every time you open it, it would say connecting to network. With Doze disabled for Messenger, this problem goes away, except on the Note 8.
I was able to test a Canadian S9+ on Oreo, the issue does not seem to affect it. I am optimistic that the Oreo update for Note8 will address this.
Yes, it's not just the Note 8, I think and I strongly believe that the problem is related to the crappy nougat version 7.1.1., I had the very same problem (email not syncing, and delaying (lollipop and marshmallow don't have it!) even on pixel, opo 3t, and s8, all of them had Android 7.1.1., the problem was almost fixed on 7.1.2.
Now, had the pixel 2 xl, with Oreo, for a while, switch back to Note8, and the problem came along.
This is the main important reasons to make me update to Oreo on note 8

I almost figured it had to do with 7.1.1.
Hi!
So I've tried searching but cannot find the answer (or similar topics). Perhaps I'm all alone, or just need to improve my search skills.
Anyhow, I've had this issue a long time (last two updates at least): When I open an app that requires fingerprint authentification, a lot of times, it opens the previous app that I opened with fingerprint authentification, instead of the intended one.
Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, a solution? It's beginning to drive me CRAZY, and I'm getting worried as it seems there will be no more updates for this device (rumours about Oreo has been out but Huawei has confirmed on Facebook that they have no plan on that update for my phone as of now).
Model: EVA-L09C432B395
EMUI: 5.0.1
ANDROID VERSION: 7.0
Actually I've been encountering this as well... I got another phone with EMUI 8.0 (Nova 2 Lite) and the same issue still persists. I think this lies to EMUI itself.
Hi, firstibile big thank you to all people from xda, you do a great job here. My last phone what was rooted was galaxy s4 long time ago. Now I have my note 9 for 2 years and it could be great to have a working root on note 9. Please can you great users tell what are a limitation for current root. I remember when was an issue with root on note 9 on the beginning where phone was charging battery only to 80%.is this still an issue? Does banking apps (UK) works fine like Barclays, natwest Halifax etc. How about Google play, secure folders, fingerprint, biometric etc. Does evrythink still works with this root or is it any problem on Android 10 exynos version? Please help
Hi guys,
Since I upgraded to Android 12, I'm not able to use VPN with my cloned apps (probably because they are coming from work profile).
But it worked well before...
I am the only one in this situation or it affect other people?
PS: For upgrading I dirty flashed A12 over A11
Android 12 is in beta as you may well know, issues like this may occur
Yes I know, but I hope it's not just a "downgrade"

I personally haven't found any fix, it seems it's broken and xiaomi doesn't really care. Maybe we are not enough to be concerned by this problem... This is said, even when lot of people complains they also don't care (the gestures bug related to 3rd party launcher as example)
