Sudden loss of push notifications on GOS on Pixel 7a

unrelated789

Thanks everyone. Play Services version is 24.41.34. Battery usage was previously set to "allow" (I don't see a setting to say specifically "unrestricted" but would interpret this as unrestricted). Mobile data had "Background data" enabled, however did not have "Unrestricted mobile data usage" allowed so I changed that and rebooted the phone. Unfortunately I am still in the same situation. My old iphone 8 will still ring with the MySudo app (on wifi) but unfortunately the sim card from my Pixel 7a does not fit in the iphone 8 sim card tray. Guess I'm stuck trying to figure it out or reverting the Pixel to a stock Android distribution (not my preferred solution).

You need to tap on the text that says "Allow background usage". It will take you to another screen, where you need to select " Unrestricted "

Probably9857 Wow, thank you. It seems obvious when you put it that way but you were right and now that I've set that to "unlimited" is seems to have resolved the issue.

It's not at all obvious though. It has to be explained at least once a week on this forum, probably more

Probably9857 The sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer prompts for unrestricted background access with a dialog and it has a warning about it in Settings > Apps > Sandboxed Google Play if it's not allowed. It could more aggressively prompt about it than it already does but we didn't want to be too pushy to people who genuinely don't want to enable it.

@SovereignCopper Stop with the inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS. Completely unhelpful and as you can see this was a configuration issue which was easily resolved...

GrapheneOS I call it a disability layer. I love your style. I should donate soon, I am long overdue. https://grapheneos.org/donate I hope you don't mind. Your work has changed my life.

@brad There should be 1 issue per thread rather than 3. We would prefer if people talk about the issues in dedicated threads rather than one about 3 entirely unrelated things. It's too much of a mess.

My Google Play Services is set to Unrestricted and has always been set to unrestricted yet I am still getting delays in notifications for a few of my apps seemingly randomly. Notably Signal and Teams.

Whatnoww Does it happen when you use mobile data? Is Data Saver enabled? Does Play services have permission to use mobile data in the background?

Whatnoww

muhomorr Yes unrestricted usage. It's set to unrestricted. I've never ever set any battery saving measures. I've also checked just in case to ensure they haven't been enabled. I'm still getting ocasional delays on full signal. Signal messages arriving multiple minutes late at random.

Push notifications were working for a couple of weeks and now no longer...specifically MySudo. (Teams is delayed 5-10 min) but calls to MySudo just go to voicemail. Pretty much everything is set to unrestricted data and battery usage.
