Look for DU ROM .......
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tinthere:
My phone is stuck in a bootloop (water damage). However, I can access recovery mode successfully. The bootloader is locked.

I'm hoping to recover my pictures. Is there any way to access the internal memory from recovery with a locked bootloader? (I cannot flash TWRP because my bootloader is locked.)

I have a second functional Pixel (my wife's), if that can be of any help.

Thanks for any feedback!

Does anyone have any brightness issues? I just got my XL today and the brightness is very weak and I'm very disappointed. I uploaded a video onto Youtube so you can see the issue. Let me know....

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] freebee269:
i'm not having any brightness issues at all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lensgrabber:
but is it bright or just meh? That video with 50% brightness compared to the 5t has it really sucking on the Pixel. UrAvgConsumer also mentioned a few times that the brightness wasn't that great.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TiltedAz:
It looks bright even outdoors from online reviews I've seen.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cryppie:
If not already, turn off adaptive brightness on the P3XL like it is on the 5T and compare again. If it is already off I'd like to see the setting in another vid..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] NICEGYPT:
The 2 XL was the same on Pie.. I had to set the brightness to 80% ... it's not a display problem it's software for sure..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00194:
The adaptive brightness was definitely off. I was going to make another video but Google Support called me before I uploaded the video. They told me it was working as designed. I'm not going to argue with them. If they don't see an issue with it, they aren't going to fix it. I'm just going to return the phone.

I'm not one to spend a lot on phones, in the past I've owned the Nexus S, 4, 5, 6P, Oneplus One and 5T which were all reasonably priced phones. This was my first phone I decided to splurge on and I felt it wasn't worth the price I paid. Yes, the brightness isn't that big of a deal but for $969.68 I expect a perfect phone.

I hope the brightness issue is a non-issue for you folks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00194:
Was the brightness control more linear on Oreo?

The slider values have changed from linear to log. No need to worry just move slider more to right and it will be just as bright as before.

Hello fellow note 9 owners....

I'm facing an issue when I close whatsapp and lock the screen I don't get notifications that I have new messages nor do they get delivered to me unless I open WhatsApp. I think I tried everything to fix it.... Here's what I tried

I put WhatsApp in the unmonitored app list in the battery settings, I'm in performance mode, I cleared cache, I uninstalled WhatsApp, reinstalled it fresh not from a restore. Is there anything else I should do to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] arvin2212:
Mine is okay so far (exynos) however, when I am connected to whatsapp web (on my computer, on the same wifi network with my note 9) , it'll lose connection to the phone at random intervals. I'd have to unlock the phone, launch whatsapp for whatsapp web to be connected once again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] carlitobahsoun:
put whatsapp notification to urgent check in setting / notification / advance/ whatsapp and see inside
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] angvil:
I tried still the same problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
Got the same problem with both Whatsapp and Viber, and often with fb messenger.

It seems that I cannot fix it since I tried literally everything and yet, on my friend's note 9, everything is working flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clax6:
Have you put the app to sleep?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] toddenham:
Same issue but for nearly all apps which require the internet for a notification. Only get the issue on mobile data, when connected to wi-fi all are instant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zeanong:
Make sure you turn this off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ColdUser:
I also have the same problem i have tried a lot of solution but none works.

Changed Rom several times, using PNF-root to change heartbeat interval, uninstalled Universal GMS Doze, setting whatsapp as not optimized, deleted whatsapp and data.

Nothing just nothing have helped, im currently on syberia Rom xiaomi Mi5.

But i dont think its Rom related because i had the same problem on Xiaomi.eu ROM and other Roms
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
Thks for this tip as I was struggling to find the culprit despite knowing this was rhe issue I had it on by mistake.

This settings now are more buried on pie so forgotten this one.

EDIT: STILL HAVING THE ISSUE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Funny that menu wasn't available via device care app. My WhatsApp and telegram are optimized blue bar enabled and I dont get issues with notifications .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JazonX:
Hi, How did you solve your problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
Actually I thought it was solved by turning off the battery optimization (which it was on by mistake) and thought it was solved but tonight had again the same issue.

In the morning received only the notifications/messages after opening whatsapp.

I'm not sure if this options below might not also be part of the issue (despite not making sense but who knows...)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Hazzay88:
This might be a problem for people running Android Pie and One Ui on their Note 9s. I don't believe these problems existed on Oreo. Lets wait a see when an update will be pushed to fix this problem. Until then my wife's Note 9 is staying on Oreo.

For those of you that have updated to Pie how has it affected battery life? Better or worse? If better by how much? SOT Etc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
When I got the note 9 the update for Pie was 3 days after so didn't have the chance to have it properly tested, but I think I had the issue on both versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] baferdi:
This issue exists since Samsung introduced their device maintenance. Switching off batterie optimisation for WhatsApp was the solution for me. Actually only WhatsApp, threema and k9-mail have problems receiving push in standby on my phones, any other apps I use don't have this issue. Therfore I think it's more an issue with the apps, less with the rom. Also Samsung states in the settings that apps in standby may not receive actualisations or send notifications.

Go to stettings->apps->WhatsApp and turn off batterie optimisation

Before Samsung introduced this feature, I was using greenify and had the same issue with some apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Like I mentioned earlier. I had issues with Telegram and WhatsApp notifications on Oreo. Now on pie beta 3 no issues. Also my WhatsApp and telegram *are* battery optimized. So I'd say you should be looking at other avenues to remedy this problem. Maybe review the app notifications for whatsapps carefully. View attachment 4689288
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
The app notifications are flawless.

The issue is not the notifications, otherwise they would be there but just not being notified on the system.

Even when opening the phone and unlocking it, they are not on the phone, BUT when the app is opened you start actually receiving the messages in a fast manner flow almost like they are just being texted at a very fast pace, so it seems more like they have just been pushed rather than having the message there and simply not notified, otherwise would be having a static last message.

The app seems to be in sleep mode even when whitelisted.

At the moment I have absolutely everything off inside the optimization

The background mobile data is ON

IS even allowed while data saver is ON (Which I don't use anyway)

The sleeping apps, for whatsapp is whitelisted (OFF)

AND it still have the same issue, either the app is

optimized

or

not optimized

which does not make sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Are you using version 2.18.380?

Also try backing up and deleting and re installing .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I have 1 note 9 with Gbwhatsapp and another note 9 with stock Whatsapp. Have issues on both.

One was updated to pie and then did factory reset and restored from cloud (unless the backed up settings somehow contributed to an error and other was just OTA updated without any reset. They even operate on different networks.

Seems pretty odd...

To me the app is showing exactly the same behavior as behaving like the list of "sleeping apps", despite the fact it's whitelisted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
What version of pie are you running? Try deleting WhatsApp and not restoring backup and see how it goes. Send some test messages via another WhatsApp account.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
Pie,

Baseband version

N960FXXU2CRLT

Build number

PPR1.180610.011.N960FXXU2CSA2

Clearing the app data does not help. As I did it already...

However today I noticed the messages on my other phone were getting again not delivered (I was texting to my other number) so I tried to call and as soon as it rang, the messages got received by whatsapp.

So seems somehow some process controlling the network data, either RIL or something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JazonX:
No matter what fix I applied, It was delaying my notifications and this is a deal breaker. I experienced the same in Yahoo Email, Gmail as well. I didn't wipe my Previous device (Pixel 2 XL) and this was online as well with another Number on WhatsApp. Emails, WhatsApp all were much faster in Pixel while emails were delayed by 5 - 10 minutes on the Note 9.

WhatsApp on other hand never made it to the phone until I opened the app on Note 9.

Overnight drain between the two phones were so huge as well. Might be because the Note 9 Doesn't have a custom kernel (Im Rooted) to stop Samsung's Anti root measures.

Pixel 2 XL was at 96% in the morning while Note 9 was at 68%. I'm gonna switch back to Last Stable Oreo for now, and stay back until Pie is properly finalized. I can see graphic elements are messed up as well, like OneUI boxes not being straight, or covering texts in some places.

Samsung used to be great, and Note 7 was and still is the best device to date. I wish I never returned it. :-X
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Moe100021:
I had the same issue (Oreo and recently Pie) and tried everything and it didn't work (battery optimization, hard reset, uninstalling and reinstalling affected apps, let it run in background, data usage, lock app in the RAM setting etc..). Then all of a sudden I noticed that the delays were only happening when I am using my wifi connection. When I connect my mobile data 4G connection, I get all notifications on time and without delay. I have been suffering from this since September when I first bought the device. And when I updated to Pie, it was still happening till I stopped using the wifi connection. I hope it works for you.

Affectted apps:

Yahoo Mail,

Whatsapp,

Telegram,

Outlook,

Linkedin

My device is 512GB international DS.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

By the way, I have a 200 MB fiber connection (ping: 0 ms) and so there's nothing wrong with my connection. I guess there is something wrong with the phone's wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
Can't be the wifi or wifi related as today it happened to me the same issue and I was in 4G network.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ColdUser:
I just followed your messages and i had the same problem in Pie running Syberia on Mi5 (Gemini)

Tried everything like you suggested and also when phone was locked i didnt get WhatsApp notifications.

Well no back on Oreo running RevolutionOS based on Miui Global, suddenly i don't have the problem anymore and WhatsApp is getting notifications.

When i was on Pie i also noticed on BBS (betterbatterystats) that "No data connection" was always 100%.

On Oreo no problems with that and its 10-15% most of the time.

So yeah just sharing my experience and I'd like to go back to P and test it again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JazonX:
Unfortunately, Didn't help.

What Helped : Rolling back to OREO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] insaned:
I already contacted the Samsung several times and obviously their annoying troubleshooting steps and after a few messages they ended up sending me to go for a samsung support center which I'm sure they'll want to factory reset the phone and that it will be obviously worthless and make me spend time as this type of notifications seem to take a while to get "dorment" so I can imagine I would spend a few hours and everything the same and with luck they'll just release an update later.

Certainly it will help if people start using the Samsung members feedback to tackle the problem.

For now, nothing seems to improve this and for me can br quite annoying as I receive a lot of whatsapp calls that now simply do not go through.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jaggyjagz:
I am having the same whatsapp issue, when it seems to act like the app is sleeping, i.e. multiple messages come in at once as soon as you open up the app in AM. Tried everything. Using an LG v20 custom rom on Oreo. Not sure if it is a kernel issue, sleep issue, wifi issue, or what. Very irritating.

Try wiping the cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work then perform a Hard Factory on your device but backup the data stored on your device before doing so.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vyis:
Didn't have this issue, my normal routine for a new phone, don't know will it help

1. Developer - Keep mobile data active

2. Location - WIFI scanning on

3. All messaging app exclude from battery optimize
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] eodchn:
On further analysis and trails, i realized my issues with the notifications is happening only on mobile data and not when connected wo wifi. the "push notification tester" shows success every single time while im connected to wifi while on mobile data it is not! it works for a while and then after it never pushes the notifications leaving notifications to come through only on opening the app.

also the internet connectivity in general with the mobile data works like chrome browsing, news, etc.. only the notification are affected. upon googling the same i am seeing a lot of folks complaining on the same with different network/carrier/service providers but there hasn't been one working solution for the same :crying:

has any one faced anything similar with the recent android versions - oreo or pie ? have any solutions pls ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 1HK0:
Tested every proposed solution (for a week) that I was able to find in the forums. I tested all solutions that did not involve neither rooting not custom roms. The only thing that worked is doze mode disabling via adb or better the "Disable Doze" app from the play store. The fact that this method works means that there is smth fundamentaly wrong with android oreo on samsung devices. A phone that does not handle properly push notifications from instant messaging apps or does not receive calls from those apps should not be called phone!

Phones tested: Note9, Galaxy J5 2017 (both on Oreo).

I don't know personally if this happens in phones from other brands running on Oreo, but forums indicate that it may be the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] eodchn:
Tried disabling doze over adb,but that doesnt seems to fix the issue for me either :crying:

i have been having this notification issues for quite a while now and having tried every possible solution out there i kind if feel the issue is far deep into the operating system in itself that only samsung and google can fix over a patch or something and also it is not jus restricted to one OEM !

wonder when will a solution be in place, till then our smart phones are not so smart.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] muhammad.b.ali:
I am having the same issue on my s9 plus after updating to pie. I have tried many solutions but no success . And it happens on wifi only . Not on mobile data.

Any updates on the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] android404:
A workaround for me: "swipe" lockscreen instead of fingerprint makes notifications work properly immediately. I dont know why.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] eodchn:
tried that, dint work as well.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] angvil:
Just an update since everyone is still having this issue. I tried almost everything in this thread but still the issue consists. What I weirdly found that worked is: I reboot the phone the test the notification of WhatsApp / telegram and keep rebooting till eventually on one of the reboots the issue goes away. Till it happens a few days / weeks again then I do the same fix again. I dunno why but it works for me... Maybe something doesn't start always in every reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wrongdoer:
Hi all,

I was have the same issue on my Galaxy A30 after i close the screen it works normally 4-5 minutes but then it stop to get notifications. I tried a lot of things like closing optimization for whatsapp or closeing adaptive battery etc. but i tried all options one by one i didn't change all in the same time also i must say that actually i didn't test on mobile data but i think i was have this problem only on wifi and probably i found the solution.

I perform the following steps and now i can get the notifications when my screen off. My opinion is something was wrong with BadgeProvider because except forceclosing badgeprovider the all other settings was tired by me.

1.Open the Settings menu on your Galaxy device running One UI.

2. Now tap on Device care and then select Battery.

3.Tap on the 3-dots icon and select Settings.

4.If you rely on certain apps simply for notification without using those apps, then you might have to turn off the Adaptive battery feature since it automatically limits battery usage of unused application which prevents the app from displaying notifications.

5.You should also toggle off the Auto disable unused apps option if you only rely on certain apps for notifications without actually using the apps.

Sleeping-Apps-One-UI

6.However, if you use the apps often yet still aren’t receiving notifications, then we’d suggest checking out the Sleeping apps list.

7.Simply tap on Sleeping apps and then check out the list and see if the app you’re not receiving notifications on is in the list.

8.In case the app in question is present in the Sleeping apps list, then this could be the reason why you aren’t receiving notifications from the app. To remove the app from the Sleeping apps list, press and hold on the app(s) in the which you aren’t receiving notifications from and then tap on Remove.

1.Go to Settings and select Apps.

2.Tap on the 3-dots icon at the top right of the screen.

3.Select Show system apps

4.Tap on BadgeProvider and then tap on Force stop.

5.You would now have to restart your device.

Update : I am on latest CSF2 build on S9+ and all the notifications work perfectly when Using VPN on wifi. The problem for me was my notifications for all apps including Whatsapp were delayed and sometimes no notification until I opened the app .

This was only on Wifi and worked perfectly in Mobile Data .

But now they work on Wifi but with VPN

Strange thing there are 2 other Samsung phones in my home one of them is updated on Pie and notifications work on them without vpn.

So its not my Isp or Router thats blocking GCM.

As I cant use VPN all the time Im connected to Wifi . Can anyone suggest a solution for this that notifications work on my phone too without VPN
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wolfensg:

Ok guys, I think I know what the problem is, at least for me.

My wifi is retarded.

I was at hospital these couple of days and while being on mobile data, everything was working perfectly. Whats, Viber, face, gmail, every single thing was delivered in a second.

As soon as I came home, notifications were delayed while I was connected to the wifi.

Also, while using whatsapp for desktop, im getting "phone not connected" after ****ing 5 minutes of phone being locked, and its like that all the time.

I wonder can I somehow disable wifi sleep via ADB or some **** like that?

Turn off "Battery life optimiser" & go to Advanced settings, turn off "App power monitor"

It works for me.
