Troubleshooting push notifications on Android devices

If you are still having trouble receiving push notifications, please follow the steps detailed below. Note that the exact steps will depend on your device model & operating systems.

Common steps

1. Please make sure that your TradingView app settings are correct:
   1. Make sure that you created an alert in the correct way (details can be found here)
   2. Make sure that you are logged in using your correct credentials (same user that created alerts)
2. Please make sure that your device settings are correct:
   1. Check your internet connection:
      • Make sure that airplane mode is deactivated. Here is how you can do that: * Android phone Settings > Network & Internet > toggle to turn Airplane mode on and off;
      • Check your WiFi/cellular connection;
      • If you are on a corporate firewall, contact your network administrator;
      • Make sure that your VPN, Proxy or other app doesn't restrict access to internet;
   2. Update TradingView app to the latest version;
   3. Update Google Play services app to the latest version;
   4. Note that the TradingView app is supported on Android 6 and iOS 11 (or higher) operating systems. Please make sure that your device has one of those operating systems installed;
   5. Please make sure that the time on your device was set correctly (matches your timezone). You might want to use this website to compare the times - https://time.is;
   6. Check if notifications from other apps are shown in your notifications tray;
   7. Make sure that notifications are enabled for the TradingView app;
3. Check that your device has enough storage space (built-in storage, not SD cards)
   1. Check that your device allows access to WiFi/cellular data while in a sleep mode: Android phone Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Always keep Wi-Fi on during sleep;
   2. Make sure that the TradingView app is whitelisted in the Autorun Manager (if it's installed on your device).
