Not Receiving Notifications (Android 8.0)

Delta Chat version

1.14.5 (From Play Store)

Expected behavior

That I receive a notification when a new message appears

Actual behavior

No notification pops up but if I open the app it seems that it then fetches the messages.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. A contact sends me the message
  2. It does not trigger a notification on my phone

A message is received here at 12:58:02.718. I don’t see any notification calls like it seems like other people’s logs show.

Email Setup
Provider: Fast Mail
Filters: If “Chat-Version” is in the header, move to “DeltaChat” Folder
Fastmail has a tendency to run it’s spam filter first unless the sender is in your contact list, which my friend is. The messages get moved to the proper email folder

I have battery optimizations turned off for DeltaChat, however I don’t see it reported under the persistent Android System notification that it is running in the background like it does for FairEmail. Is there a way to make DeltaChat start up when my phone is booted like my email app? Or do I have to manually open it and keep it open? Even when I do that I don’t get notifications.

I should also mention that I have a desktop DeltaChat and my mobile client logged in with the method where I export and import the account so they have the same keys.

Thanks for any pointers.

Parttimely, not always, such appears for my person likewise. Sometimes getting notes and having colored signs in the chat list, sometimes not. It seems to depend whether the app had been closed or shout down or not, as the only appearance my person could mention when doing, when not (yet not intentional directly observed).

Same here - no Notifications:

  • LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) without Google Services
  • DeltaChat v1.14.5 (F-Droid)
  • Setting “Notification” acivated
  • Setting “Background-Notification” activated
  • Setting “Reliable Background-connection” acivated
  • DeltaChat-Icon permanently visible
  • No Battery-Optimization
  • Any IMAP-Monitoring activated (Inbox, Sentbox, DeltaChatBox)

As soon as i start switching the email-account to another and then switch back, all pending messages appear.

An observation maybe useful in addition:

As currently options on notification of the device wouldn’t display (like accept) but just open DC: seemingly, as also no gray DC icon visible, “Reliable Background-connection” not active, notifications from DC work outstanding well. (for a late night version from 20.02.).

Hi xacc, welcome to the forum!

That’s a pity. I was pondering to get LineageOS or /e/OS to finally solve the notification issue.

Don’t know if you want to try, but here I did a new approach to make DC more reliable.
You can try if you want.

https://github.com/csb0730/deltachat-android/releases/download/v1.2.14-beta/deltachat-fat-debug-1.2.14-beta.apk (32 bit only).

But please

  1. make a backup and uninstall your current deltachat version first.
  2. Prerequisite is that you can run 32 bit version at your device.

It could be that it meets the goal for reliability. Maybe it’s worth to do a trial?

I have a xiaomi redmi note 7 with lineageos 17.1 without google services with installed the stable version (1.14.5 from f-droid) of delta chat, the nightly and delta lab, in all three versions i receive the notifications without problems.

I do not receive notifications on my Rednote 9s (default OS though)
