Problem with Heads-Up notifications

Edit: think I discovered this is not just a note 8 issue, how do I delete this thread?
I'm not getting most heads up notifications on my T-Mobile Note 8. Notifications just appear in the notification drawer. I do get the sound/vibration though
Some apps are working reliably (hangouts, ring), others are not (outlook, inbox). Those are the easiest for me to test, so I haven't looked much into others.
I uninstalled pebble and android wear just in case those were interfering. I've rebooted a million times. Turned off everything with notification access just in case.
I turned off the edge light feature, just in case. No change. Also turned it on for everything, the screen doesn't edge light for outlook or inbox.
Any settings that might have been enabled/disabled accidentally?
also, tried resetting app preferences from advanced notification settings, no luck
Any thoughts?
edit: i'm seeing this in my logs but not entirely sure it's related
"09-28 13:57:55.567 1188-1188/? E/NotificationService: Suppressing notification from package by user request."
Also, tried disabling, then enabling those apps notifications

Wiped my phone and installed inbox and outlook, they still don't show notifications in a popup. they make their sound/vibe and appear in the drawer, but still dont show up as a headsup notification so I get no altert if If i have my phone on silent.

Gmail notification issues

Since the last update to Gmail (10 Jan 2018). The notifications for the app has totally gone. Does anyone have a fix or suggestion how to get around this. It is very annoying.

Do you mean the notification options in the Gmail apps settings have disappeared? Or that you don't get notifications any more?
If you look in phone Settings>Notifications, under Gmail, are the notifications turned on?

The latter. It is working as intended now after today's update.

Notifications won't wake screen since update to Oreo

Prior to the Oreo update one of my apps (MediSafe) turned on my screen upon notification.

You may need to wait for a software update for that app. Or check the Notifcations Settings to see if Notifications have been enabled for that particular app.

Anyone else? This happens with Samsung messages as well as Android messages apps.

Have you got notifications enabled in the lockscreen and security setting?

Notification sound with no notification

I keep getting a notification sound at random intervals but there is no notification. I have tried disabling NFC and notification reminders per googles suggestions but that hasn't helped. I downloaded Notification Log History but it only shows actual notifications I am receiving not the ones I don't see. Any ideas?

I got those sounds until I turned off Notification Reminder.
You can have notifications turned on, but turn off the reminder.

Ok I finally figured it out. I had notifications disabled for 115 out of 132 of my apps through the settings menu. I went back, enabled all notifications to see what was going off all the time. Turns out I was getting numerous alerts from Tapatalk and Slickdeals. I went into both apps and disabled notifications through the actual app settings and my issues went away. Not sure why the apps override what I'm doing in the phone settings but they were. Hopefully in the future this helps others. In short, enable all apps in the phone settings and see what's notifying you. Go into those apps and disable notifications within the app.

Whatsapp notification problems

Hi all
I've just bought the Note 9 after managing to crack the screen of my Note 8, which was also on Android 9 and One UI.
Since getting the new phone, I've had some issues with notifications when the screen is off - Whatsapp doesn't notify, unless I switch notifications on but then I'm stuck with the annoying whatsapp pop-up, and it doesn't show up on lock screen notifications.
As well as this, I also have a problem with whatsapp when screen on, not showing all messages. It will either say "conversation: x messages" or "x messages from y conversations"
I had this working just perfectly on my note 8 but I'm really struggling on the Note 9! I hope someone can help?!

The pop-up notification can be disabled in WhatsApp settings > Notifications > Pop-up Notifications > No pop-up.
Check your lock-screen notification settings and then individual app setting of Whatsapp (new addition in Pie) and check if notification is disabled on lock screen.

Do you have many unread chats? Try marking some of them as Read.
If the notification is minimal, then the Message Notification (in individual notification setting) may have been set as 'Silent and Minimized'.

When I disable whatsapp popup, nothing happens, just the screen doesn't wake up at all when a whatsapp alert comes in.
Have checked app setting, which seems ok, and notification on lock screen isn't hidden

Hey, can I have the screenshot of the pop-up you're referring to? I think I may have confused heads-up notification with WhatsApp Message Pop-up.

Hiya,
in terms of the pop up issue, I've found something from the forum which seems to have restored it - disabling lightedge whilst screen on. I'm a bit annoyed about this as I quite like the effect, and it does disable it for all apps, even all the others which work perfectly fine, but hey ho!
My main issue really is whatsapp not waking the screen unless I turn on the whatsapp notification, and I hate that box lol
Thats the real thing I want to try and find a cure for if possible......
