No notifications sounding through Android

[lordvic1001]

The app recently stopped notifying of new messages on at least Android phones. I'm running app version 1.5 with latest android 14 updates.

It appears google has deprecated the API I was using for delivering push notifications to Android phones. This will likely take me a few days to sort out and require an updated server container. I'm sorry for the outage :(

[balzack]

If you get a chance, can you update to the latest container and test it out; this should now be resolved. Thank you for reporting this!

[lordvic1001]

I have updated to the latest container, along with a friend who regularly chats with me via Databag. He is receiving notifications now, but I am not.

Friend's Phone: Galaxy S21 5G - SM-G991U1 Kernel Version 5.4.254-qgki-28582291-abG991U1UEUCFXGB running Android 14
My Phone: Pixel 6 with the Jun 20th 2024 Databag Update installed

Any ideas on why myself and clients of my server specifically are still not receiving notifications?

[balzack]

Sorry, somehow I missed your last message.

With the firebase API changes, I now need to host a "repeater" to channel the push notifications through the firebase SDK. Do you have any firewall settings that would prevent communication to: https://repeater.coredb.org/notify?

Would you be able to look at the container logs when you write a message that should produce a push notification, and see if any errors appear?

I'm sorry for the difficulties.

[lordvic1001]

I'll need some guidance on how to do that. I should have on e way communication enabled out from my server to your repeater, but i'll explicitly allow it.

[balzack]

I am happy to help. Assuming your are using a container, the logs should be printed as the container output. If you have trouble viewing the container output, let me know what you use for hosting and I will try and figure it out.

Here's the log.

I am a bit at a loss, I don't see anything wrong with your server from the logs.

Can you test with the demo server (databag.coredb.org)? Create an account and login with the mobile app; then see if you can create a push notification from another account?

[lordvic1001]

I'll try that out. Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.

Hello friends!
I have the same problems only on a Huawei smartphone.

[balzack]

@VlaK0r you are able to get notifications on other phones but not the Huawei? Is it just sound that is not working?

[VlaK0r]

@balzack It is notifications that do not come.

[VlaK0r]

@balzack Everything works for my wife on the iPhone.

[balzack]

Hrm, I know this has been reported before, but I can't reproduce this on my pixel/android phone. Is there anything special about the firmware on your phone? How long ago did you first install Databag? Was it working initially?

[VlaK0r]

@balzack I installed it for the first time. "Microg" is installed on the smartphone so that there would be support for Google services, including notifications.

[lordvic1001]

All, I still need to test this. Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.
