For almost 3 years now, around the time I purchased my Nexus 6 in December of 2014, I've had delayed notifications. I always thought it was a Nexus 6 issue but it seems I was wrong.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Having recently purchased a Note 8, one thing I was really looking forward to was no longer having these delayed notifications. From the moment I set everything up, the issue was and is still present - even on a brand new, unmodified Note 8 purchased directly from my carrier (Telstra, Australia).
This has lead to me to look further into the issue and to finally get to the bottom of what might be causing it and hopefully, get it fixed.
From what I can tell, pretty much anything that uses Google's Cloud Messaging, which I beleive is everything from Gmail to Facebook, Google+ and many others, the notifications will be delayed. Sometimes only a few minutes, sometimes much longer.
Anything that doesn't rely on GCM works perfectly fine. For example, if I use Nine (an Exchange client app) and connect to an Exchange server, those notifications are always perfect. I'll get notified within seconds of receiving the email.
My partner, who has the exact same phone (Note 8) as well as Gmail and Facebook setup, receives notifications instantly (within seconds) and has never had the issue on previous Android devices either. So it's not a carrier issue, nor a WIFI issue, nor a phone issue. It is something directly related to my Google account.
Has anyone ever come across this issue that has been able to successfully resolve it? I've seen a couple of apps on the Play Store that apparently let you fix the issue but you need to be rooted in order for the apps to run. This is simply not an an option.
Given all testing points to something Google Account related, where would be the best place to start looking for a fix?
NOTE:
- I don't use any battery optimisation or task killer apps nor anything related. Never have.
I've come across the following information. It appears as though it may be something to do with this: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/fslYqYrULto/lU2D3Qe1mugJ
Although this looks promising, it doesn't really explain why it would affect some and not others. My partner who is using the same phone with the same carrier, connected to the same WIFI networks doesn't have the issue.

I've never had this issue before, but I've had friends that ran into issues similar to the one you've explained. I'll be sure to ask them what they did to resolve them, and get back to you when I know!

Thank you!
I haven't made much progress here however, I can confirm my carrier is actually taking the time to do some thorough research themselves and ensure there is actually nothing wrong in the background.

I purchased this app and I am having an issue where it wont save the settings.
I posted on their help page saying I couldn't get it to save my settings and thought maybe I was doing it wrong, and got this reply.
Hello,
you are not doing anything from. This is a well known problem on some Samsung devices, since the update of Android version 2.2.1. The settings of some apps are not saved permanently. Once this problem occured, this will happen again and again.
As the problem seems to be caused by a bug in Samsung's version of the Android OS I am afraid to say that we can't do anything against it. We hope that Samsung is about to fix the reason of this in the future. Maybe you can contact the Samsung support, that they hopefully
accelerate working on that issue.So unfortunately your device is affected by this problem. Some people told us that a factory reset helps them out of this really annoying problem, but I won't guarantee for anything. That's up to you.

Now I have been running the Galaxy S since launch day and my Galaxy SII since December. I frequent the forums here daily. Yet I have never seen or experienced anything like this happening before. Is their reply BS or have I missed something in my readings? And if they are correct, is it fixable with a hack? I really like the program.

Weird. I use business calendar, and haven't noticed any issues with it not saving settings. I honestly don't make too many changes to the defaults though, so maybe it's something you are doing that I am not? If you want to give me a specific case that you can reliably reproduce, I'll give it a shot to see if it loses that setting for me as well...
All I have to do is open it and it goes right to the 'Welcome to Business Calendar' page nearly every time. I change the week to start with Sunday and the day to start at 7:00am, then when i reopen it goes back to the welcome page and my settings are gone.
Oddly it did that for a while, then it seemed to not, then it started again.
It does it for sure right after a reboot. I stopped rebooting to see if it would fix it but it doesn't.
I was considering switching to CM7 to see if that fixes it, but I like ICScrewd.
have you tried reinstalling the app? Maybe something happened during install. I also have Business Calendar and never have any problems with it (and I've changed the settings in the app, just as you are trying to do)

I'm also running ICScrewD (2.1, with Entropy DD 3/7/12 ATM but also with Siyah .13 for a while). Just tried changing week start day to Sunday (actually, shoulda done that a long time ago ) and could not duplicate your issue - closed out and re-opened, and it opened back up to the calendar.
As my friendly nemesis Mr. NYYDynasty said (yeah, I live in New England, I'm a BoSox fan ) it could be a bad install. You might also want to try clearing app data from
menu>settings>applications>business calendar>clear data
before remove/reinstall...
Good luck.
Thanks guys, I will give that a shot. I pretty much figured I would get better advice and help here on XDA than I would from the developers help page.
I will post back what happens after i give it a bit.

Well clearing data didn't help. As a matter of fact, there is nothing showing in the data indication before I clear it. 0.00B. Do you guys show some kind of volume on that data? I have nothing there or in the cache.
Its not saving anything in there I guess? It will work fine until I close it out. If I force stop it and then reopen its back to the welcome page.
I will try deleting and reinstalling.
edit: Nope, didn't fix it. I did have 16.00kb in the data section after a re-install and save so I was hopeful and it even showed that amount after a reboot but still went back to the welcome screen and lost my changes after the reboot.

Fwiw, I show 160k for data, and zero for cache. Not too many calendar items at the moment.
I got no clue though why it isn't working...

I run this app with no issues. Have not seen the behavior you describe. Do you by chance have both the free and paid versions installed at the same time? If so, delete both, reboot, and just reinstall the paid version. Just a wag....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-2
I purchased the app straight off. Never tried the free version.
Deleting data and uninstalling has proven unsuccessful so I guess we are out of luck here.
I guess the developer was correct in saying some Samsung devices have an issue with it.
I am happy with the way my phone is set up right now but if I change the rom I will give Business Calendar a try then. Maybe a wipe and reinstall would change things. I am kinda holding out for CM9 before I do that though.
Seems to have been fixed when I switched to CM7 and then to RockRatts Cobra v2b. That leads me to beloved its not really a Samsung issue but rather a formatting issue.

Had mine since christmas. I have accepted the wifi and GPS issues. Also the sdcard popping out. No other real issues
Now I'm getting a few deal breaker issues out of nowhere!
1. Browser crashes at least 1 time for every hour of surfing. Ill be watching view and standard surfing and all of a sudden the browser closes and leaves me on home screen. This is not talking about the constant "not responding" alerts. I need flash so I use this browser.
2. Can't use gmail! Its very sporadic but basically ill try to open an email and it becomes non responsive and eventually either closes or just goes black screen. I've read this is common? How can it be?
Those are the only 2 things I do on my device. Surf videos and check emails.
Any known solutions I may have missed? Any help much appreciated.
No idea if you have seen it or if it will fix your gmail issue but there is a gmail update out today.

Sounds like you need to first update the gmail app
Secondly your cache might be full : try one of two things - download and app called cache cleaner and use it or cold boot your Prime which essentially does the same thing
I'm not seeing an update but ill keep looking thank you! I really hope it helps so I can use my device more
Nobody else has similar issues huh?

hmm, 480mb does seem kind of high. Also which browser do you use?
I personally prefer either chrome or Opera.
Opera seems to be the fastest with the least issues, however the it doesn't feel as smooth as stock or chrome. (smooth as in scrolling and such, not the loading speed, etc)
GMail was just updated today that might help, version is 4.0.5

Glad to help. I don't know if that's high or not but if its slowing down then it might be. What I normally do is take the widget from that cache cleaning app and put it on one of my screens and every so often just tap it and cleans the cache.

I use stock browser for surfing my vids or anything flash related, I use Chrome for everything else such as surfing forums, etc.
BTW i read the post above wrong i went looking for a device update and didnt see one. Ill check for an update to the gmail app when i get home.
I'm in the same boat as you OP. I never had decent GPS, I didn't test Wifi/BT death until a few weeks back & Wifi was weaker than my OG droid. But, up until a month ago I wasn't having any daily issues...no more. I bought mine in the HH Gregg Friday the 13th "sale".
Now I'm starting to see screen bleed. That jives with the screw tightening theory.
The tablet crashes almost daily. The first crash didn't happen until after .19.
The stock browser wants to FC/Wait/Cancel at once per use.
Wifi is all over the place - it used to be only a few dBm lower than the OG Droid, now it can be 10 to 15 dBm less.
Wifi/BT immediately kills streaming (finally bought a BT headset)
I can't wait to see how bad the RMA process will be. I'll be video taping the packing at the post office, heh...

HHGregg next to Target actually carried these things? That's a surprise. And you must mean .15 it went from .15 to .21 US never got a .19.. as for the wait message in browser try going into settings>advanced and setting plug-ins to On demand see if that helps
Gmail has been unusable for ever since I bought my Prime. Constant crashes. I feel your pain. Yesterday's update did not fix it.

Thank you, at least I am not alone. Do you have any other info on this issue?
Is it google? Asus? Did the cleaning of Cache help?
I am at a loss if I cant have email working. In fact, who the hell will buy a device with no email??
Which means I'll have a $500 dollar paper weight.
Gmail has been fine never crashed since I bought it in Feb.. Are you rooted? Run fix permissions if you can that might help
not rooted
maybe its only us first batchers? the bcokas or whatever
Tons of opengl errors in the logs when gmail crashes. Sometimes I do see other error messages as well. I have tried submitting bug reports to google. No response. Tried with Asus. One completely inane and unrelated response 8 days later. Not sure where else to try looking for help. I'm not rooted. Completely stock. C2 serial number. I have done a lot of googling and found a lot of other mentions of the problem, but no fixes. Clearing cache and data does not fix it, nor did a factory reset.
I am in the same boat!!!
I could deal with all the other problems, but the web browsing SUCKS!!!!
I have done all the settings BS.....java on/off....plug ins on demand...etc. Even with Java off and plug ins set to on demand I have had the "wait/cancel" pop up....wtf!
Even other browsers....the page will load about 75% real quick and then BAM stop. It will then take some time to load the rest or I get the "wait/cancel" deal.
Twice today out of nowhere the screen goes black...and then it reboots.
The only thing I can think of is there is some sort of bottleneck with all the adds in java. If there is root for .21 maybe adfree would help.
But why the hell would you have to go thru all this!! I really love this little thing, but if this is the top of the line android tablet......man that is pretty freaking sad!!!
Its embarrassing sometimes, trying to show some one the prime. I dont even want to show anyone how it works....its gotten that bad.
As for the browser waiting/force close messages..
and it may not work across the board because I don't know what you have installed.
I got the wait/close messages very frequently during every browsing session.
using stock,ics +,boat,chrome,xscope,and opera, etc.
I uninstalled chrome and flash, then reinstalled flash and I now use opera exclusively and haven't had a wait/close message since. Going on a week now!
I use desktop user agent and flash always on.
I hate opera on my evo because its so slow but it works great on the prime.
Can't hurt to try it if you happen to have chrome installed.
never had an issue with gmail on mine. have you tried removing your gmail account under accounts and sync, then go to app settings for gmail, clear the cache and data, then re-adding your account?
I've got a BCO serial.

This might be simple, but have you tried a factory reset? I had stability issues with a couple of apps as well as the occasional OS freeze and a factory reset after the .21 update cleared up all of my performance problems.
If you check the "automatic restore" box under Backup & Restore in the System menu the tablet will automatically re-install all of your Google Play apps.

Does that auto app restore also restore app data(eg: a game's progress)?
I hope someone can suggest some ideas. I've been trying for months to get the alarm notifications to work on my Verizon S3. I've spent hours and hours for month after month looking at the forums, and have not been able to fix it- I really, really would like to get this to work!
The problem is, I never get alarm reminders for either:
- time to leave/traffic alerts when I have upcoming appointments
- reminders based on location
I've tried everything I know of in the book- I need an expert to please help me get this working!!! Either I'm doing something really stupid and missing something, I have some setting(s) wrong, or Google Now is somehow broken for me. Sorry for the frustration...
I'm running a Verizon S3, with 4.2.1 and recently I rooted the phone (the notifications have not worked since before nor after the rooting- I did it for other reasons).
PLEASE HELP!!!
Please- any suggestions? I'm willing to start at the basics (in case I missed something) all the way to the complex. I really could use some advise on getting the alarms to work on Google Now notifications...
I've had the same thing happening for about 2 months now (from August 2013), and even with factory wipes and firmware flashes it hasn't come back to me. :/ It's worked once or twice but I haven't figured out if I had done anything before hand to get it back. Then afterwards it stopped working again.
Same for me yet. I've hard reset both my S3 and my Nexus 7, and not luck. Rarely do I get any notices, and if I happen to, it's not at the right time. Must be on Google's end on my account or something. Very, very disappointing, with little hope if it's not specific to the device...
Me too! Try this....

Also happening to me on my Note 3 t-mobile. I have flashed many roms. I even reverted back to stock, and did an OTA update to 4.4.2 and so forth.
The only thing that made a difference was if I sign in to Google Now using my backup Google account, then IT WORKS! So I think that Google is having problems on the back end. There is absolutely no difference between my Google accounts. Why would one work and one not work? I've been posting it all over the web and Google tech support. You should too!
Solution Found
I found a solution to the problem. After being a die-hard advocate for Android, I gave up about 6 months ago and bought an iPhone. It works wonderfully, and does everything it's supposed to, when and where it is supposed to. Reception and voice recognition are better than my S3 was too. I've given up a few things (customization, screen size, etc.), but I finally have a phone that just works. I can add apps, delete them, change settings, etc., and things don't get screwed up; and I don't have to hard reset and start over with my phone again. Plus, most of the Google apps are available on the iphone, including Google Now.
I may look at Android again when version 5.0 comes out; but even with that, if it's my account that's messed up, I doubt I will ever get it fixed...
I really liked Android, but I finally got soooo tired of having to spend so much time getting it to work...
Google now reminders not working possible solution
Okay so I purchased a phone LG G Flex unlocked from T-mobile and using on Metro PCS two weeks ago, prior to this phone I had a Note 3 and used Google Now to set remianders with no problems. When I activated my FLEX and started using google now it did not remind me, i could see the reminders on google cards but no notification and or finger with string in the notification bar to actually remind me. I was really bummed and fustrated as I depend on the reminder function alot. Not having any luck getting Google Now remainders to work I started searching for other apps simular to it, just something to remind me. But funny enough all the others application I found on the app store would do the same thing NO reminders, so I started thinking it may not actually be Google Now but something on my phone. I finally found an application called Robin that did work but gave me my reminders about 2 or three mins before or after the set time, nevertheless it was working but early or late notifications still bothered me. So i decided to turn off the automatic time zone/Network provider time and Automatic date and time/Network provided time and that did the trick for me. I started up Google Now and set like a hundred reminders to test it and they all came in on time. I dont know if the phone being unlocked and used on another network made the network time buggy but as long as I keep the automatic date and time off it works well. I dont know if this is the solution for everyone but it was for me. hope this help.
Fantastic and detailed reply- thanks!
I also switched phones, now I'm on a LG G3 (love the phone)! I seem to be getting almost all of my notifications now, but I'll try to pay a little more attention to it, and keep your suggestion in mind if I'm having any troubles. Thanks again for the information!

Can Google now show reminders while offline? I know I cant set or delete a reminder offline. But can it remind for an already set reminder offline?
Halp!
I'm losing my mind trying to figure out the issue here. SMS works fine. Hangouts will only notify of a newly received message if you open Hangouts and are on the conversations list screen (main screen). If you are in a conversation it won't even update of the newly received message until you back back to the main conversations list screen. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or mobile data. This is a brand new phone that I bought about a week ago and for the record I'm using the same phone I bought a month ago from the same seller on the same firmware. The only difference is that mine is rooted and I've frozen or uninstalled most all of the bloatware and VZW bullcrap. Otherwise they're identical and one has what seems like an app bug but the other one does not.
I've tried numerous things before posting here (to include lots of searches that only seem to turn up similar issues for those who updated to Lollipop) including uninstalling Hangouts updates as well as Google+ updates as per one thread I saw. Neither had any affect on the issue. I went into the user's Google account to see if any other devices were signed in currently and it doesn't appear to be the issue.
My next step is to root and see if freezing the same apps corrects but where it sits right now would make a warranty exchange through the seller a little bit easier I would imagine.
I'm not really sure what else to try short of accepting the OTA update (Lollipop) which will w/o a doubt introduce more problems than it fixes based on what I've read. Not only that but my LG G3 is functioning just fine on 4.4.2 so I see no reason why the same device shouldn't perform the same on the same firmware version. Makes no sense.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks!
Dear xda community,
I used to use Instagram on a daily base in order to follow a user's followers hoping they follow back. This has been working quite well, but all of a sudden Instagram started acting weird. Now, if I click a user's follower, it loads really long and loads a list of at least 2000.
Usually, there are 50 followers loaded at a time, at the moment it's 2000.
The other point is that it does not refresh anymore. There are still the followers of a few days ago while Instagram usually refreshes the list everytime you click it again.
It seems that it's a problem with the account. On another account, this issue is not occurring at all. But I also did not hit any limitations nor got any ban.
A user's followers list just won't refresh for me.
I tried with a hell lot of alternative Instagram browsers (including Instwogram & OGInsta+ released here) but nothing worked out so far.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong or what to try?
Thanks you all in advance and have a nice weekend
Did anyone experience the same problem yet?
Bump
I have got the same issue. I was wondering, did you change from business to personal account? I have tried deleting cache, uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. When accessing my account on desktop there seems to be no problem so its isolated to iphone/android account access.

I have a personal account, never changed it though.
Well, I tried to contact Instagram support but they only have some kind of ticket system where you do not get any response better than 'thanks for making us aware'.
Let me know if you find out a work around, I am desperately trying out everything as well.
Is someone facing similar issues?
Problem still persisting, I cannot seem to find a work around.
