I get emails alerting me via Gmail but because of battery optimization of the Gmail app, it can be as much as 30 minutes before I get notified of the incoming mail causing me to lose on out work.
Can someone recommend an app that can have the optimization turned off and alert me pretty much immediately when there is an email that comes to my inbox?
I'm open to other email services as well - Protonmail did basically the same thing even with battery optimization turned off using their app.
Bottom line is I need to know about a new email immediately, regardless of email service or app.
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions!

That sounds like an oxymoron. How can something be optimized yet get immediate notifications? Doesn't it even warn you of possible delays when you select something to be optimized?

You might try FairEmail. It talks directly to IMAP servers from your phone and does seem to respond immediately to incoming mails, as long as battery optimization is off.

You must be doing something wrong. I have battery optimization turned on for both Proton and Gmail and the email sometimes comes in before my computer gets it and it's almost instantaneous. Perhaps it's your network settings or filters? Are you stock and bl locked although that shouldn't matter unless you're running a custom kernel or rom.

I think you're misunderstanding me - Gmail doesn't even give me the ability to turn off the optimization - it's like it's locked on "optimized" . If I could turn off the optimization I would! It's the same way on both Pixel 4 XL and my OnePlus 7 Pro.

That's what mine looks like too. Easy enough to turn it off but I don't need to. There is something else going on that either we're missing or the OP is not explaining well.

the official facebook app is un-reliable for me
sometimes i get them, usually not.
i also have facebook set to SMS notifacations to be safe. they have been un-reliable too since i got the android.
sometimes ill get the same message from the app and sms or just one... or neither....
only notifications i've ever gotten have been messages and event invites. responses to status updates never give me notifications.
well went to the settings today in the FB app and checked notifications active and i never turned on refresh interval due to battery consumption but now i get my comments/chat/message all pushed to my phone...well its working for me but hope it works for you guys too!

I observe further strange behavior on my device.
While the lock screen time is getting updated correctly, the time in the notification bar is stuck at 5.29am.
What possible reasons could there be for this weird behavior. Is there any relation between the unintended data usage by the OS Services and this time stuck problem.
I will do a factory reset, but I am still eager to know the reason for these anomalies.

You don't have any "crazy" app doing all this?
You don't remember since that behavior started? After you install something... Change something on hidden menu...

I had installed two apps, namely cardiograph and 3d rollercoaster. I had uninstalled them after using them for a day.
I used box.net app to upload some 200+mb files via WiFi and I had downloaded aurora 2 tablet Rom using my data in the morning.
That was my entire activity for yesterday.

i know that turning off the mobile sync make you lose whatsapp messages and mails, but try that.
also, check how many accounts you have syncing (like google+or weather), change the syncing time intervals if its possible.
that behavior suggest me that its downloading a update or something.

There was one more change I had done, and that was to add a second google account (I had the sync off for that account as well)
Secondly, I spoke to my operator, and they clarified that the total usage was only 200+MB on the data plan and not 600MB as show in the data-manager app.
I am not sure if the different dates on the lock screen and the notification bar and the OS Services 600MB data usage were due to this addition of a second account.
In any case, I have done a factory reset and have one account added for now, and all seems to be in order.

Have you tried going into Messaging -> Settings -> Notifications and disabling the Pop-up Display or the message previews for the lock screen to see if that turns off screen wake?

I noticed that too on stock messenger, I have pop off in notifications. Note sure why it should wake or why you can't even turn it off with the notification led.
I use hangouts as my default messaging app now and it does not turn on the screen. I would like to use messaging, but why leave that feature out as well as the home button waking the screen in my pocket, it drives me nuts.
Use 8sms, you won't regret it!

If you are rooted, install Xposed and download Wanam. There is an option to unhide that feature so you can disable it.

And, since this is just revealing the hidden option rather than hooking in and adding the functionality itself, your choice persists even if you remove wanam and xposed.
I can confirm the wanam option does work, I havent turned it off though cause I want the screen wake. There is also a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785118

thanks for the xposed solution. that was really bugging me
I use Ringo Pro from the app store. This allows me to let this app control all ringers and text sounds and then you can go into the actual programs and TURN OFF all notifications... this plus a SECOND lock screen has finally slowed down the pocket calls to 911 and an array of miss hit buttons...
This is my only complaint with this phone. Pocket dialing and button pushing is killing me..lol this has helped some
Fellows "Blocking Mode" takes care of this. Just set it up its free & comes on phone.

Headsup notification is not available for all app ATM. Only those app which enable notification with setPriority(PRIORITY_MAX) or setPriority(PRIORITY_HIGH) will be available for headsup notification. BTW go to settings>sounds and notification> interruption> when call and notification arrive and select "always interrupt" if it has not been selected yet
With some custom roms such as SlimLP, you can turn it on and off for all apps.
The apps below on my toolbar section are all none functional now. I tried clearing the cache but to no avail. I tried dragging the icons out and the following also occurred.
I was attempting to remedy the phantom voicemail icon that was appearing on the top left area of screen. Basically, I installed T Mobile VVM and deleted all messages that were stored and then did the same with the baked in VVM app.
Any ideas?
