    Possible solutions to delayed notifications (Android 11)

    Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:28 AM PDT

    Lately, I had some apps show notifications later than I needed. TLDR: Disabling Wi-Fi scan throttling in the Dev Options was what finally solved it for me, but I found other solutions that may work for others, which may as well get into a single post so people can find them more easily.

    DISCLAIMER: You are disabling battery optimization features. Consider taking measures to mitigate the impact of disabling these features. Also, these instructions are for One UI 3.1 (Android 11) devices (some Samsung phones). If it works for other versions, please, do tell and I will edit the post.

    As /u/cdegallo pointed out, these solutions may not work, depending on how the app manages notification priorities and background sync tasks.

    Possible solutions:

    You may have to use more than one of this solutions to solve your problem. I recommend trying them in this order. If one doesn't solve the problem, try the next one.

    If you have issues with notifications on your email app, /u/Omega192 suggests the following:

    "Lastly, if the notifications you're getting delayed are for email. I'd suggest trying to use the Samsung Mail app instead. The person that lead me down this rabbit hole said that when they logged into their gmail account there notifications were no longer delayed so I suspect Samsung excludes their first party apps from their "optimizations". "

    ​

    1- Adaptive Notifications: This option seems to be designed to prioritize your notifs, showing first the ones from your most used apps. Changing this option to None seems to have worked for some users.

    Settings > Apps > Special Access (in the top right three dots menu) > Adaptive Notifications > None.

    Also check if the app has Battery Usage Optimization enabled and disable it here:

    Settings > Apps > Special Access (in the top right three dots menu) > Optimise Battery Usage

    If this didn't solve your issue, try #2.

    ​

    2- Disable Wi-Fi Scan Throttling: Introduced in Android 9, this feature limits how often apps can check for a Wi-Fi connection. If it's enabled, foreground apps will be able to scan 4 times per 2 minutes and background apps only once every 30 mins, to save battery life. To disable it, do the following:

    ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS. After that:

    Settings > Developer options > Wi-Fi scan throttling

    Disabling it solved my issue. If this didn't solve it for you, try #3.

    ​

    3- Disable Battery Optimization: Again, if you do this, please, consider taking measures to mitigate the impact to your device's battery life.

    Android has a lot of battery optimization features. Check this Android Help articles here if you're not sure of what to do. Here are the options I recommend checking:

    Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Power Saving Mode > Limit apps and Home screen

    If it's enabled, it may be limiting some background apps you may need to get notifs of. Not a good idea to have it enabled if you don't need it. Check also if you have CPU speed limited, and if you don't need it, disable it. This limits are only enforced when Power Saving mode is enabled.

    Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Background usage limits

    Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > More battery settings > Adaptive battery

    If the apps you need immediate notifications of are rarely used, your device may be putting it to sleep or Deep sleep and cause issues.

    If this didn't solve it for you, try #4

    ​

    4- Disable Doze: for this one, you will have to send commands through the ADB console. Here's XDA-Developers' tutorial on how to install it on Windows, Mac and Linux. Notice that you will have to enable USB debugging in the Developer Settings in your android device if you haven't.

    After connecting your Android device to your pc, wait a few seconds and type the following to confirm your device is connected and responding:

    adb devices

    It should answer with a code of numbers and letters and the word "device".

    After that, type the following and press enter:

    adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

    This command will only last until your phone is powered off, and you will have to do it again after you power it on.

    ​

    FEEDBACK: Please, let me know if you have some feedback on this post (step order, other solutions, formatting, etc.) or if some of these steps works on other devices.

    Android 13 - Every MAJOR change and New Feature! - (HowToMen)

    Posted: 30 Mar 2022 09:40 AM PDT

    What do you consider bloatware personally?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2022 04:11 AM PDT

    In my opinion, bloatware has at least two of the following features:

    A.) Provides no functionality or useful purpose to the end user or the device.

    B.) Is obnoxious to the end user.

    C.) The primary purpose is to satisfy a company's monetary desires.

    So stuff like s-pen support, Alcatel's "Notes" app in their custom skin, program's for helping the user setup their phone after android's "out of box experience" finishes, "ANT HAL Service", are not bloatware as they atleast provide functionality to the device or are useful to the end user in some way.

    But stuff like the s4's "S Health" app, modern updates to alcatel's builtin files app, preloaded games and social media, ad delivery software, and personally most of google's preloaded programs, are bloatware as they provide little to no utility to the end user, provide little to no functionality to the phone, or who's primary purpose is to satisfy a company's monetary interests.

    My honest S22 Ultra Exynos review

    Posted: 30 Mar 2022 08:30 AM PDT

    So after having my S22 ultra Exynos for about a month now, I'd like to share main confirmed issues with it:

    1. Battery life - I've waited all the time and initial 2 weeks(can't return phone because of that) to get my battery "optimized". Nothing changed, if anything - I think its even worse now. And don't get me even started on Stand By battery drain.
    2. Finger print/ UI freeze - Sometimes phone is just frozen on lock screen. And to solve this you need to spam all side buttons for about 10 seconds for it to respond. Sometimes this happens even 3 times in a row, super super annoying. (This happens every day)
    3. Audio/ Video sync issues - occasionally phone bugs out and video is behind the audio. So whatever you will try to watch, lets say Youtube, you will see thing happen in a video and later audio will come.
    4. Multitasking lag/ heat - I have encountered heat and lag issues multiple times. For example I was having a 30 minute call on WhatsApp and my phone had trouble dealing with other app opening and using menu. Everything was laggy and choppy, not responsive and phone was very hot.

    5. Sound - Probably many of you already watched reviews and one thing that stands out is the sound quality. This is not particularly a big issue, but sound quality is pretty terrible. Even compared to my almost 4 y/o iPhone XR, this thing really doesn't produce quality sound.

    6. Camera - only thing that was worth the money.

    This is not a hate post or a rant post. I just want to reach buyers at this moment and show them what they will potentially be dealing with. Truth shouldn't hurt anyone :)

    Hope some of you will find this helpful.

    Cheers!

    Phone says Vanced Manager puts my device at risk.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2022 05:35 AM PDT

    Did something change about YouTube Vanced? I know it's getting shut down but I don't know if something about it changed that made it dangerous to have on the phone.

    Your phone's built in Security Key can be used as an 2FA key on your Google Account.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2022 10:51 AM PDT

    Go to your Google Account settings > 2 Step Verification > Security Key and there should be an option for adding your phone (needs to be signed into the same account) as a security key. After adding it, your Browser will prompt your phone using BT when signing into your account the next time.

    This might be a bit redundant as there's an option for prompting your phone before WITHOUT BT but I'm assuming this works offline too so that's good I suppose? Besides, more options are always welcome.

    (Only officially works in Chrome and Edge. May work on other chromium based browsers too.)

    Google needs to remove the CNN Android TV app. It's now been broken for a year.

    Posted: 29 Mar 2022 05:25 PM PDT

    With CNN+, the new CNN paid service launching today, it's a disgrace that Google has allowed the primary CNN app to stay up on the store for a full year.

    If you try and launch the CNN app on a Chromecast w/Google TV or Android TV app, it boots and then immediately crashes. This has been a problem for at least a year now and the Play Store reviews reflect that. This simply shouldn't be allowed to stay up until it's fixed.

    Furthermore, here's a video recorded from a Chromecast w/ Google TV using a fresh install of CNNgo, showing it immediately crashes.

    OnePlus 10 Pro Will Not Support 80 Watt Charging In North America

    Posted: 28 Mar 2022 12:54 PM PDT

    "In North America, the OnePlus 10 Pro supports 65W SUPERVOOC. This is because 80W SUPERVOOC does not currently support 110 or 120-volt AC power – the typical standard for power outlets in the region."

    ytm-wrapped (official release announcement)

    Posted: 28 Mar 2022 09:56 AM PDT

    This is a simple capacitor app to load yt music and to inject some scripts made by user 4v3ngR, excerpt;

    Hello all,

    As some of you are aware, I've been working on a simple android app that wraps the ytm website. It is now at a point where I'm happy to make an "official" announcement of its existence.

    What's done:

    • background playback
    • audio only mode
    • hardware controls (notification + lockscreen)
    • some UI changes
    • removed tracking

    What's to be done:

    • some kind of runtime configuration (turning on and off of plugins)
    • further UI updates (if I can get it to look like the app, I'll be happy)
    • other stuff?

    Here's the repo url (it is released under an MIT license): https://github.com/4v3ngR/ytm-wrapped

    Here's the latest release: https://github.com/4v3ngR/ytm-wrapped/releases/tag/0.1.4
