Severely Delayed Notification - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a Pixel XL on Verizon running stock v7.1.2 firmware. I have a problem with my notifications taking hours or sometimes over a day to show. This includes apps like Gmail, Outlook, Instagram, Slack, and even things like Dominos. The issue is present regardless of my connection, whether I am on Wifi or LTE makes no difference.
I've read other posts and disabled the battery saving options for these apps, but the problem is still there.
Is there something I can reset or clear a cache, or anything to fix the notification system?

I had this problem awhile back. I updated the firmware, and it went away. I haven't had it since.

Ok so first in setting clear cache for all apps that are doing this, if that doesn't work, clear your dalvik cache. If you have TWRP recovery, it's simple go to recovery, wipe, advanced wipe, dalvik cache, wipe. If you have stock recovery, you have to search it up on google.. That's all I know, I've never had this issue so yeah, good luck

Unfortunately I can't access the dalvik cache because I haven't rooted this phone. It's starting to look like a hard reset will be my only option.

Unfortunately you are probably right. The Pixel doesn't have a cache partition like other Android phones where you can go into the stock recovery and clear the device cache. I'm not sure what TWRP actually clears since the cache partition doesn't exist on this phone. You could try a Play Store app like Clear Cache as a last ditch attempt to avoid a factory reset but it probably won't help. My experience with these types of apps is that they don't work on the Pixel. Even if you do a factory reset as long as you are backing up your apps through Google you should be set up and as good as new within an hour and it should solve your problem.

You can clear all the apps cached data by going to settings>storage then click on cached data and it will clear it. About the only way to do it I believe.

Twrp tries to clear two things, dalvik cache, and regular cache. Only Dalvik gets cleared though because regular cache does t exist on the Pixel.

How to fully wipe your phone?!

Hello!
I'm just a frequent reader on custom romposts, and my hobby is somehow to flash stuff (addicted, my GF hates it) and report on problems and such. I'm sorry if my problem is answered somewhere else but I can't find anything that helps..
Latley while changing roms sensebase and aosp or cm9/10 it seems like i can't fully wipe my phone.
I've tried to empty cache, and data within apps. Android Revolutions SuperWipe script.
I always do a full wipe of everything i can find to wipe (inside recovery factory reset etc) but still Market installs apps, the same wallpaper is set and so on..
The data for ringtones and such is always wiped but I don't feel that my phone gets cleaned out 100% like my old SE X10 which got wiped all the time.
Is there some information about wiping the HTC One X which has been kept in silence or am I just stupid? Idk but i feel that i have to ask!
Thank you in advance!
Well if she really dislikes it, replace her.
Oh, sorry, you wanted help with the phone?
Try checking it's wiped before adding back your google account which restores all the things you said were restored.
With a damp cloth.
Na, seriously, start bootloader, (power on and volume down) and choose clear data or whatever it is. If you log into your google account then your wallpaper and stuff will come back, it's backed up on googles servers and restores automatically. If you don't want that, go into settings, privacy, backup data, and deselect it. That will delete all the data that's backed up with google. Your phone will stay wiped next time!

Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped

Does anyone else has been finding recently that certain apps do not work anymore?
Google search and Linkedin so far, give me "Unfortunately, google search/Linkedin has stopped"
I don't remember installing something that may harm, or doing something to change the software version.
P.S. same thing started a week ago for one colleague with S2, and every day new apps stopped working. At the end, Factory Reset was done, but i don't know the outcome now...
Try wiping the dalvik cache

Thanks. I did not manage to get boot into recovery...so factory reset solved the issue for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534420 I recommend to you to install TWRP also, since it has an option for dalvik cache wiping.

[Q] [URGENT HELP] Nothing is working!

I have a HTC Wildfire S, rooted, with an AOKP rom.
One day, my phone was running slow, so I rebooted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache and system cache. I rebooted the system and absolutely NOTHING is working. after I unlock the phone, a bunch of processes stop working. Pressing the home button makes Nova Launcher crash. I have since uninstalled it, and still nothing is working.
I can't even turn the phone off using the power button. The only way I can shut the screen off is by removing the battery manually.
EDIT: I tried a factory reset, and it's still the same as before. NOTHING is working. I can go into Settings, that's about it.
A list of apps that stop working:
Link2sd
facebook
outlook
yahoo weather
google.process.gapps
nova launcher
swiftkey
superuser
ETC..
I have attached pictures so you guys can have a sense of what my problem is. Sorry if the pictures are blurry, I had to use my Ipod touch to take them.
Sorry If i have made any errors in this thread. I am new here, I just created an account right now so I can find some help to solve my issue.

Thanks @Guitarfreak12 and @aWFSuser
I did what you guys said, and I reflashed the same ROM and everything is working fine. The only downside, although, is that I have had to re-install all my apps again.
Also, would you guys know what caused the problem? I'd like to know so that I can ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

Did you had a lot of applications installed and linked along with dalvik to sd-ext?
Then after clearing the cache on reboot the dalvik files will regenerate in the /data partition if there are a lot of apps and the /data overflows then your apps will stop working without the dex files. And clearing the dalvik cache usually doesn't help in increasing speed.........next time you should go into link2sd and use the "clean dalvik cache" option there.........

This actually happens because Link2SD can also link dalvik cache files as well, what the recovery must have deleted would be the symbolic links that the Link2SD script creates, so next time if you want to clear the dalvik cache, use the option found in the Link2sd app
Alright so it seems, instead of using the dalvik cache cleaner on recovery, I should just use the one located in Link2sd. I'll be sure to do that next time to ensure that no problems persist.
Thanks for all the help!

Can't view attachments in Gmail app, can't download updates for Magisk or ElementalX

So basically just as the title says. I'm currently running the sultan-ised RR ROM but this has happened with other ROMs too. I've done all the usual cache and davlik wiping and MULTIPLE clean flashes including davlik, cache, system and data in TWRP. I have also gone in to each apps settings to wipe their date and cache AND uninstalled/reinstalled them.
I can download stuff fine from Chrome and Drive. Any ideas?
Edit: ok so I found the culprit. I was using an ad blocking VPN. Just had to whitelist the apps I was having issues​ with and now they work as intended.
I don't know how or even if you can delete posts so apologies. Maybe the mods could remove it.
Thank you so much for your edit in the post.. This problem was irritating me for 2 months.. ?
