I’ve tried to solve it by reinstall Aliendalvik, but no luck. I played around with the AndroidNofication App from openrepos, but also no luck. The app chrashes when started a second time after make the settings.
Hey guys,
I also have difficulties with the android notification. In my case the LED doesn’t turn on with apps like elements. The message is received, the notification at the top of the screen appears for some seconds and disappears again. In the past (with sailfish 3.4x this problem was not existend).
I have already reported this issue for version 4.0.1.45… It is still not solved yet.
Sorry for late answer, I’m very busy these days.
I’ve watched it again for a while now.
I can confirm, notifications from Android apps are shown in eventsview.
My problem is, I don’t notice them because the phone isn’t always in front of me. It will appear in banners at the moment of the event. If I don’t look at the display at the moment, I will miss the notification. There is no sound and the LED does not flash. That was different with SFOS 3.x.x.
I missed many of my messages, because I am not one who constantly looks at the cell phone, I need sound and LEDs.
I will open a Ticked on Zendesk.
No, the problem continues. Or better again. I had a workaround from Jolla Support. The file /usr/share/lipstick/androidnotificationpriorities to supplement an entry for my messanger blabber.im. That worked. The upgrade has reversed the change to the file again.
I guess that you have ssh working and are logged in in terminal, right?.
To get root access, you would have used devel-su
To edit the file, use vi. It is the predecessor to vim, but works well enough. Copy & paste the last entry and edit it with the commands available in vim. For me this is the fastest way.
The command would be: vi /usr/share/lipstick/androidnotificationpriorities.
Go to the end of file with [G], then add [a] two lines (with enter). Press [Esc] to finish edit mode, use the mouse to copy and paste the last lines, use [x] to delete single digits and input [i] to edit the last two lines so you have your entry fixed.
Something strange is happening.
I have another Phone and now the Sailfish Version is 4.3.0.15, and I did the same thing and it is not working Could it be something wrong in the Android Nextcloud Talk App? I do not remember which version I used before.
Do you have any hint what can I check more?
Thank you!
To find the package name, I used top from a shell on SFOS and stress the UI of the targeted Android app while looking top output to catch the CPU consumer.
The package name is the command name (ie. the COM. column in top).
