Notification Issues (MLB At Bat & CNN)

Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

SMS and MMS issues with BLU Vivo XL on metroPCS

Hello,
I am using a BLU Vivo XL with metroPCS service and I am having a two MMS issues: 1) Every MMS is duplicated, and 2) MMS service is very unreliable over WiFi. Also, I have 1 sms issue where my messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread.
I have updated my APN information to the t-mobile settings. I have had a "phone reset" by a metroPCS CSR over chat. Any ideas on how to rectify these issues?

Similar Problem
I have a similar problem on AT&T. I get duplicate group messages while using google messenger. It only happens with group messages and is fine with normal MMS. Sorry I was unable to help, but you are not alone.

I'm trying to use my BLU Vivo XL with Chomp Messenger (AT&T). It seems to work other than it won't play any notification sounds no matter which one I choose. It's not blinking the message led either.

I was having the same issue on T-Mobile, my solution was to go through each contact and make sure there were no spaces in any contact numbers. Example: 1 (123) 456-7890 would give me problems, but 1(123)456-7890 worked just fine.

Exactly the same with me on AT&T. Any time someone sends me an MMS, I get 2 pictures instead of just one. Crazy. I also get the issue where I send a SMS, and then when they reply, it starts a new thread instead of appearing in the one I just sent. Weird. Let me know if you figure this out.

I seem to have found the CAUSE of this problem, but I have yet to find a solution. I had the same problem as the OP when receiving MMS. Instead of getting one picture, I would always get 2. No matter who was sending to me. Also, as the OP stated, "messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread."
I remembered that when I got this phone, I replaced the stock messaging app with Google Messenger (I thought the stock messenger was lacking). I had a hunch that the 2 messaging apps were somehow conflicting with each other. So I deleted google messenger and had my daughter send me a picture. Boom. Problem fixed. I received only one picture from her using the stock messenger app. So I re-installed the Google Messenger app from the play store and had her send me the same picture again. This time, I received TWO pictures. I have no idea how to fix this behavior as you cannot "disable" the stock messenger app. I probably could try a different messenger app other than Google Messenger, but that's the one that I like. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I deleted Google Messenger and tried a different messenger just to test, and it worked as it should. So it must me some kind of incompatibility with Google Messenger, and I'm guessing other messenger apps.

Yup, there appears to be a non-stock messenger app problem. Both Google Messenger and Textra were resulting in duplicate MMS.

I saw this thread and thought I would jump on here real quick. My GF also has metro PCS and she keeps trying to swap the default messaging client out with say GO SMS pro. And whenever she gets a new text she doesnt get any audible notifications. And the LED doesnt light up so she has to manually check her phone all the time. Has anyone else experienced that? Have a fix?

Swipe down from the status bar, click the little icon on the right, select GO SMS pro, toggle the Set to important notice.

Phone type: Blu Life One X on Android 5.1 (whatever happened to Blu promises for a droid version update? Word of caution: Don't believe Blue marketing 'promises'. Nice phone, but don't buy it unless its the OS you are willing to live with until your next phone)
Ever since google began sending love notes about its texting app becoming obsolete and I began using a different texting app (forget which one), I started having problems with duplicate messages being received. Last night I installed Textra and thought the problem was finally gone. Today while looking at the same texts received during testing last night, I suddenly have duplicate texts from last night for some messages (they were single copies last night). Really bizarre. I have also noticed that with Textra, the double text replies seem to now be only with my group texts.
Reading various threads, I became suspicious that maybe something in the Google contact phone numbers has become corrupted. Sure enough, some of the group contact phone numbers could no longer be easily edited. I messed around with the suspect contact information until I could edit the phone number to its simplest form (from +1 (123) 345-7890 changed to 123-456-7890). Seems to be working now. Will need another day to see if the texting acts up once again.
Now to figure out what is corrupting my Google contact information...

it's the 6.0 marshmallow update ..my Blu Vivo was just fine until i updated my phone i suggest you factory reset your phone.

SMS notifications stopped working after Android 7 update

Hi folks.
Last week I received an update from HTC to update my One M9 to Android 7. All went well with one exception: Since the update I no longer receive notifications off new SMS messages. They arrive (and send) fine, just no tone, vibes, or system tray (for want of a better description) alerts. The only way to know if I have a new message is to go into messages and have a look (a real pain). My assumption was a setting had somehow changed during the update so checked them.
There are 2 lots of settings for SMS notifications that I can see, one in the general settings (Settings-Apps-Notifications) which seems to be all as it should be, and a second lot accessible within the app itself (Settings-Notifications) where I think the problem may be. When I try to click the Notifications link the app immediately stops working with the message "Messages has stopped unexpectedly" and an offer of sending an error report. This error report is very long with all the details of my phone, hardware and software, but no other info beyond 'package com.htc.sense.mms has crashed'.
I have rebooted the phone a couple of times since the update but that did not help (although it did revive the playstore app which was also poorly after the update), and disabled 'Hangouts' as I read elsewhere this can sometimes be an issue but that did not help either. I have also tried all of the above in safe mode but the problem is still there.
Anybody have any ideas please? Many thanks in advance.

Notifications issue

So I recently got a P20 Pro. On the whole am enjoying it and it's a good device.
One small thing I've noticed is for some apps (WhatsApp and Android Messages so far) it seems to display the time of the latest notification for that app for all notifications if there are multiple notifications for that app. If that makes sense.
Have a look at the screenshot attached. For WhatsApp they all say 52mins ago, although only the latest one was received 52mins ago. I've tried looking at notification settings both system wide and app specific. I can't seem to work out what the issue is.
Anyone had issues with this too? Or anyone got any suggestions to try fix this?

Same problem here. Can't change default tone for Messages, Gmail, Outlook, Outlook calendar and more... According to Huawei support (Norway), the development team is aware of the issue, and are "working on it".
Sorry, replied in wrong thread :silly:

Notifications are a mess on this phone. Can't expand them on the lock screen to read the full text or reply, can't long press and change notification-sound for each app like on every other phone running Oreo. The worst thing is that has been like this for months now and yet they haven't fixed it with a firmware update.

Gmail - Delayed notification and no sound on Notifications

Gmail Delay in Sync and no Notifications sound problem has been hounding me for months now.
Tried all listed methods on the net . Gmail removed from battery optimization, checked, reset all Gmail settings, cleared cache & Data on Gmail app mutiple times, but my problems continue.
Anybody has a solution to the issue? Please help to sort out my gmail issues.

Am i the only one having Gmail issues?

Thanks for answering and if this is a big problem being encountered by many users, why is it not being discussed?
Let me try this MacroDroid app. & hopefully it works satisfactorily.

Thanks for replying. I have been able to get the above and implement it, but i am facing 2 issues -
1) I get the same sound notifications for all my Gmail accounts, i just see my primary account for auto syncing . How to correct this.
2) In speak text, i have written Gmail. Macrodriod repeats/speaks "Gmail" twice or more times.
Please advise. Again, thanks for your help.

Finally switched to Blue mail and everything is almost perfect now, though as per what i read, my information may be compromised.
I am getting instant mails and notifications now, much better than my notifications of gmail on this & other mobile.

Just been having this same issue for months on my Canadian Note 8 and it's been since the June 1 security patch update. Gmail is delayed (seen upwards of a bit more than an hour), Samsung's default Messages app sometimes is delayed as well (but if I have my Gear S3 on the text will come through on that but not my phone which is weird AF) and then a couple authenticator apps that send push notifications also don't come through or are very delayed. It's starting to piss me off and got no help thus far from Samsung. If this isn't fixed soon then it's my last Samsung device I will ever buy.
Forgot to mention, also tried factory reset and still not working (along with now the Messages app is stuck on an older version and won't update so now I can't even use custom notification sounds per thread anymore). Absolutely ridiculous! I know I can sideload the updated version but I shouldn't have to do that, so frustrating!

Everything sorted out and gmail notifications now come in a jiffy .
