Notifications broken? (sh.itjust.works)

I haven't received a notification from Thunder in a few weeks. I double-checked the settings to make sure "Enable Inbox Notifications" is enabled, and it is.

Anyone else have issues with notifications recently?

I assume you turned it off and then turned it back on.

Yup, done.

then open the app's witcher and then tap the thunder

There was a huge noise and I turned into a newt, but I got better.

in the system settings there should be something for battery management. It will say that it is optimized for battery usage and you want to make it not optimized.

Found it:

It was set to "optimized", so I've switched it to "unrestricted". It's been about a day, and I am yet to receive a single Thunder notification.

Okay, that's weird. I honestly have no idea what's causing that then. I'm sorry I couldn't help more.

No worries, thanks for all your suggestions! Hopefully this info might help @[email protected] at some point in the future...

Hey! Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the delay in response.

Unfortunately, its quite difficult to implement local-only notifications because of how restricitve Android is with regards to background tasks. The notifications feature is heavily dependent on the specific OS version that you have (different manufacturers do different things to help with power saving, but as a result, breaks/restricts background tasks from running)

The only thing I can suggest is to turn off battery optimizations for Thunder. After that, disable and re-enable notifications in the settings. If you go to Settings -> Debug, you should also see an option to test out notifications to see if Thunder can trigger them.

If none of that works, please let me know (ideally on Matrix) and I can help troubleshoot further!

Update:

I had over 100+ items in my inbox. I accidentally cleared my inbox. I started receiving Thunder notifications again.

I'm not sure if these are related, but it seems like a strange coincidence if they aren't. Could there be some limit somewhere which prevents further notifications if there are more than X items in the inbox?
