Gmail Using Battery Notification... - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

So, I've found that in order to get notifications from Gmail as they come in (I have to have this for my job), it cannot be added to data saver, and it cannot be optimized in battery settings. So, I set it up this way on my new phone, only to get a notification saying Gmail is using battery pretty much every single time an email comes through, sometimes even when none do... If I optimize it, my notifications stop until I hit the power button or unlock the phone (usually).
I cannot seem to figure out how to stop this stupid popup from happening. Anyone else getting this? Anyone know how to make it go away? It's driving me crazy...

Install this app. It's been working fine for me on my pixel 2 xl and previously worked on my 6P after installing 8.0.

Sweet, thanks! Is there a reason why the Pixel does this? My s7 edge did not. I'm assuming it is something Sammy turned off, or maybe it's Oreo.

It started with Oreo.

This was happening on my XL 2 as well, but all it took was catching one of the notifications, sliding to the right and selecting the settings icon, then turning off notifications. I have not seen one pop up since, and my Exchange emails are still coming through fine.

Notifications with Note 5

This might be a Note 5 issue more than anything but who knows. My moto 360 does has not been getting notifications for quite a while now. As far as I know everything is set up in the settings correctly, but it just doesn't work. There is a connection because I still see my music/podcasts playing and I'm able to pause them. But I do not get notifications for text messages etc.
I got an update on my tmobile Note 5 recently and I randomly started getting notifications, that lasted for only 2 days. I no longer get notifications again.
I've tried factory resetting the watch and it hasn't helped. The only thing I can think of doing next is factory resetting my phone. I just thought I'd get to see if anybody else has this issue or knows of a fix before I wipe everything.
Thanks.

Notification issues

Two Verizon Note 8s in this house. Neither one is handling notifications well. We're coming from two Note 4s that never had any issues with notifications.
Issues:
1. I have twitter, facebook, gmail installed and am using the Verizon messenger app. My phone generally makes sounds when I get a notification, but the notification light only blinks every once in a while. I don't use AOD, so I rely on the notification light to tell me when I have notifications. There have been times when my phone has been idle for an hour or two where I don't get notifications until I turn on the screen.
2. Wife's phone. She gets a lot more notifications than I do. She is having problems with notifications not coming in after the phone sits idle for a few hours. Once the phone screen is turned back on, all of the notifications come rushing in and she gets a ton of alert sounds in a row.
I have not been able to figure out what's going on with this. I checked to make sure that do not disturb is turned off. Neither one of us use it.
Is this a software issue, or something that we're not doing correctly? On Note 4, notifications just worked. There wasn't anything special needed.
Thanks

It may be a software issue. this affects the S8/S8+ also. More and more reports on notifications not coming through especially text.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
So, if it is on the S8/S8+, then it's unlikely that they'll ever do anything useful to fix it?
Notifications are the one thing that I hate about this phone. They're completely unreliable and I have to turn on my phone to check and make sure that I didn't have anything come in. It's the one thing that makes me miss my Note 4.
I have this problem since Nougat on all my devices. For me it was the power saving features, forgot exactly which one, but it basically shut down the apps totally until I woke the phone up.
Just an edit to my post. When I pickup or awake the device all my notifications come through at once , is that what you are talking about ?
If you find a solution let me know.

Yes. In my case, it is not always picking up notifications for GMail. I tried to add GMail to the list of unmonitored apps, and it was not available. I'm not sure what else I can do.

Hello mate, it happens to my Galaxy tab s2 on Android 7 often. As soon as I open it out of standby all telegram messages pop over. Weird thing is , it doesn't always behave that way as I can hear my Telegram and what's app notifications on that sometimes when using same account etc on the Note 8.

Well, it's annoying as hell. My Note 4 never did this. I could always rely on getting my notifications.
Makes me wonder if I should use the regular email app for Gmail, and then dump the GMail app.

Luckily for me the Gmail account isn't my primary email address. Have you whitelisted some apps from power saving to see if it changes the notification behavior?

Probably except as it's a built in Google app.
I guess that leaves you with the option of what you mentioned earlier. Add the Gmail account to the existing email app. Bummer.

It's on. It notifies sometimes, but if the phone has been in standby for a while, it stops. It definitely seems like a doze issue.
Same problems here
Notifications hit or miss. I have disabled all the power saving options, disabled all the restrictions on the individual apps, disabled all the data restrictions on the apps. Everything I could think of. Once the phone has been sitting for about 10 minutes on the desk, it seems to just go to sleep. Nothing comes through until I pick it up and start doing something with it. Then the notifications all seem to come in at once. This seems to hold true for any messaging app, email, etc. This is a horrible problem.

My wife is having the same issue, but on a Sprint Note 8. When she opens her phone in the morning she get's a bunch of notifications pouring in from several different apps. So since y'all are VZW and we're Sprint it has to be specific to the phone and not the network. this has me worried because it's text messages and everything if she hasn't touched the phone in an hour or more.

Same problem here.
Note 8 Germany DBT - no branding.
Since last week notifications wont come through when the device is idling. I have paired it with a Garmin Fenix 5x and set it to pass the important notifications via Smart Notifications to the watch.
This no longer works and I missed some important notifications. I have to change my behaviour to regularly check my phone and this is very annoying!
Stock firmware with latest patches.

Anyone else pop-up notifications not working?

I have noticed any of the apps that supports pop-up notification doesn't work? I'm pretty sure it's because of the notch being in the way.
Mine comes and goes. It's very frustrating!
I've experienced this a few times. A reboot fixed it. I read somewhere that someone said they stopped working after using the Pixel Stand. I haven't tested that to verify.
Mine come and go as well. The first time they stopped working, I checked Messages, and it somehow turned itself off (it was definitely on). Flipped it back on, and it worked for a few hours. Rebooted my phone yesterday and it's been working. I'm hoping for a lot of fixes in the November update...
I don't know if this is your issue or not but I found it yesterday on the interwebs.
Search settings for custom then select custom restrictions.
In here I had a check next to "Don't pop notifications on screen" when the screen is on.
I unchecked it and now I get heads up notifications on the applications that I turned them on for.

I looked, and mine was already unchecked.
My earlier post, I had mentioned that it had been working again, now it stopped working again... WTF Google?
1) Go to Notification Access
2) Uncheck Pixel Stand
You should be able to see pop up notifications now

It's definitely the pixel stand. Every time I take my phone off I have to reboot for notification previews to start working again. I set this, hopefully it works. Any caveats?

I have not yet tested the notifications when placing the Pixel 3 on the Pixel Stand so have not seen any caveats. But just see this as a temporary fix until Google releases the patch for the ambient notification bug. Hope it helped.

Didn't work. Unchecked this yesterday, took my phone off the stand this morning, no previews or popups... They really need to update their app. This is stupid. I have to reboot my phone every day...

Double Tap To Wake Broken

I have two Pixel 2 XL's in my house on the Oct 5th update and both have issues with double tap to wake. I've done all the trouble shooting I can think of and nothing I've done gets it to work. When I go to the gestures settings DTTW is actually grayed out. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks

You need to turn off Always On Display in order to change it to on or off. Don't know why it's like that but it is.

Well that's weird since I've used the AOD since I've had my P2XL for a year and never had issues with DTTW. I guess it's one of the new "amazing" and "innovative" "features" with the new update! Thanks Google for making my phone less functional! <3
BTW, thanks for letting me know what the issue is.
For anyone else who happens to read this -- in order to get DTTW to work again you may have to disable AOD, then disable DTTW and restart. Then reenable DTTW and then reenable AOD. This is what I had to do to get DTTW to work again. Just simply disabling AOD and toggling DTTW would not work.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. It's been frustrating me for days and I couldn't figure it out. My mother will especially thank you since she uses DTTW a lot and was complaining to me the other day about it not working.
Weird how it happened to both of your phones in your house. I never had to adjust mine but maybe because mine was always set to on to begin with. I bet by default AOD on kept DTTW on as well but no longer. Really, there's no need for DTTW to be greyed out either way.

Both our phones had both features set to on since we've had them since last November. Nothing was ever changed but it seems like at the same time both our phones DTTW feature stopped working in September. I'm thinking something in the September update screwed things up.

Screen On/Off Animation Lag

The 3 XL has a really neat transition animation when you press the power button or double tap to wake, where your notifications kind of unfurl on your lockscreen.
Trouble is, I'm getting laggy animations 80% of the time. On occasion and for no apparent reason, it works and is fluid and smooth, but otherwise it's really choppy and stuttery. It's almost as if the phone is struggling to wake up properly.
Anyone else experiencing this? I noticed this pre-root, after root and on both stock & EX kernels. Rebooting the phone does not fix it, and it doesn't matter if the AOD option is on or off.
Yeps me to (
seeing some lag with the notifications on the lock screen, Don't know what could be triggering it
Same problem here on regular pixel 3, except it happens everywhere throughout the UI. I even got them to send a replacement device and it had the same issue. Really frustrating. Neither my pixel 1 or 2 had this issue.

I'm facing the same issue. It's especially apparent when there are notifications on screen. Swiping a notification away looks incredibly laggy and painful. Really odd.

Does that happen with the December patch ?
I had a similar problem on my Pixel 2 xl when I would pull down the notification shade. Turned out it was Pokemon go. Every time I had a notification from that app it would do it. The second I swiped it away it would go back to being fluid. I haven't installed it on my 3 xl.
Might want to swipe a notification away and see if that fixes it. Maybe something is weird with one app

I can confirm I'm still getting the issue with the December update...
I've noticed it's most evident/prominent when I'm on 4G/mobile network. When I'm connected to a WiFi network, it's almost always fluid. Weird...
I'm still getting the problem with the january update, I also present problems with the fingerprint reader when activating gestures, it doesn't always work
Anyone have further information on this. Really laggy compared to my 2xl. Same issue booting into safe mode as well

I also get this issue. Anytime I start seeing a bunch of lag, I always have a notification from Poke'mon GO. Once I clear it the lag goes away.

I have exactly the same issue on my Pixel 2XL, manage to fix it by disabling Google Feed on the left of the main home screen. Try it let me know if it works
