Samsung Account Spam - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Anyone else being spammed to setup a Samsung account? At least 4 times a day when I unlock my phone I am greeted with the screen to sign into or create a Samsung account. Between this and the Bixby button I'm starting to hate this phone.
On stock QEF firmware. In application manager I have blocked all notifications, turned off all permissions, turned off "Modify system settings" and cleared all caches that I could.
Unreal that this app ignores all the above and continues to spam me every day when I wake my phone.

[Q] Network Error when trying to Tie contacts to "Ok Google"

My problem:
Whenever I use "Ok Google" or Moto's version of the same I get this pop-up saying
"To improve contact recognition, Google needs to use your device contacts."
when you press continue i get the error...
"Network error. Check your network connections and try again."
This happens no matter who i try to call or text. It even happens when I speak the entire phone number, and not just a name.
So, some background
I just got a Moto X 2nd gen. It immediately started updating to Lollipop (which was cool) so i don't know if this was an issue before.
I am on verizon.
I am using a stock ROM.
I have tried this on both mobile data and wifi.
I have immediatly after tried connecting to google play, gmail, random internet and they all work.
Other voice searches work. I can get "Ok Google" to navigate, open web pages, get weather, ect...
Searching online...
Reset Cache on Google Contact Sync app
Reset Cache on Google Now Launcher app
Reset Cache on Google Launcher Config app
Reset Cache on Google App
I have already reset phone once.
Update.
When I reset and don't tie into google account it works. Once I tie into a Google account to get contacts, it stops working. I think it is tied to the "google app" app. Turns out you can not roll the "google app" back to factory setting. Clearing its cache dose not work.
I had a similar issue with Google Now when I got the new Moto.
Apps > google settings ? search & now > now cards > delete card preferences
that took care of the that same error message for me.
You are the smartest man ever. Didn't occur to me that it would be the cards. Fixed.

[Q] Lockscreen notifications

I'm back on android after a brief foray to iosland after a gazillion years. But seriously, what do I need to get notifications on my S6E lockscreen?
+ I don't have the "While Locked" option
+ I have all my notifications checked, all contents e.g.
+ I have toggled notifications off and on, set priority to off and on
+ I have removed and re-added my gmail account
But on my lockscreen, it only wakes up for text messsage alerts and even that for a brief, what 2 secs.
No wakey, wakey gmail alerts.
No wakey, wakey news alerts from my various news app.
Anyone has any guidance or solution, partial or full please?

I'm not an xda newbie; just can't login with my old ID as I lost my old login/email account
As it turns out, this is a known problem with the Lollipop implementation. It seems like everyone else is only getting text alerts on a sleeping device.
Yep, known issue. See here: http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/3almjd/s6_push_notification_delay_bug_anyone_else/
Try disabling IPv6 on your network. That seems to have fixed it for me!

Facebook messenger chat heads keeps deactivating - Help!

After the latest 8.2 update, my Facebook messenger keeps deactivating chat heads over apps, every other day.
I can turn it on, and it works for 1-2 days, and then it happened again..
Any solutions for a permanent fix?
One option might be moving messenger over and making it a system app. Usually the fix is enabling "Display Pop Up Window" in the permissions for Messenger.
It's already enabled in messenger, but it keeps removing it every other day? :/

There's a difference between turning on chat heads in messenger and enabling the permission. Are you currently only turning it on in Messenger?
When I turn it on in messenger it takes me to the permissions, where I enable it. After 1-2 days it automatically disable itself.
It actually does the same with Google calender permission. Really annoying, I don't know a permanent fix for it.
Found it.
Just go to security( Its a system app) --permission--other permission-- messenger-- Accept on display pop up window ??

[Ask] Delay Notification When The Screen Off in Samsung S10 Plus

Hi, i wanna ask about delay notifications. I'm using my phone for work, so i need real time notifications for every message that i got from gmail and another applications.
The problem are :
1. Delay notifications, the delay notifications solved when i turn off some applications from battery optimization.
But it's only solved the problems when the screen on
2. Delay notifications when screen off.
I've already change the Doze to disable from Adb [adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable], it's solved in the first time i tried. but never success after restart until now. Every time I set the Doze Disable from Adb for now, and when i check it from CPU Spy, there's always got deep sleep (Doze). Never success again for disable the Doze
any solutions?
You can try the delay notifications like this :
1. Let the screen turn off, and waiting 5-10 minutes
2. Better there's no any notification from SMS, Phone Call or Whatsapp etc arround 5-10 minutes
3. Send some Gmail message into your Samsung S10 Plus from another account and another Devices
4. You'll never received the email until you turn on the screen
That's my problems :crying:
Reason is the gmail app itself, its not device specific.
The notifications are not "high priority" meaning it won't wake your phone. There are maintenance windows android uses which will include a check for your gmail and this may wake your device.
That said, don't expect instant email from gmail in android or iOS.
It sucks. You can use a third party email app to check your email at specific intervals like iOS uses with its native app and gmail.
If you want instant push email you may be forced to use a different service completely.
Other apps should be instant assuming 3 things:
-You have "allow in background" set.
-Disable app optimization.
-The app supports high priority notifications.

Delayed Notification with Screen Off

I have an Honor Play (COR-L29), and pretty much since day one I've had an issue with delayed push notifications for almost every app from which I receive push notifications. For example, someone will send an email to my Gmail account, but while my screen is off, I will not be notified. The moment I wake the screen, the notification will come through. It's running the latest firmware. In Apps>Special Access>Battery Optimisation I have set ALL apps to NOT ALLOWED, and in Battery>App Launch I have set ALL aps to MANUAL, but this has made no difference. I have also used the Wipe Cache Partition feature several times, and again this makes no difference. I love the phone, but simply can't cope with the notification issue. Does anyone have a solution?

Which one battery settings you used, it's normal mode or power saving mode? If you used power saving mode it will be turn off all your background notification, such as gmail.
And go to settings -> battery -> more battery settings -> check stay connected when device sleeps.
Hope it will help
