Repetitive notifications received hundreds of times

  • /e/ version: 0.21-20220122158536
  • Device model(s): Xiaomi Redmi 8T
  • Device rooted: no

Summary

I receive all notifications multiple times. Some of them even hundreds of times. My total record is MS Teams, which can provide the same notification 2000 times in one day. I had to turn off most of notifications, otherwise the phone is unusable.

The problem

Use any application with notifications. Currently known:

  • Nextcloud
  • MS Teams
  • MeteoSwiss
  • mBank
  • Duo Mobile
  • Signal
  • Viseca One

Almost all the time time. Some applications (Telegram FOSS) do not have this problem, other apps (see list above) have it constantly.

I receive first notification - valid one. I click on it, go to the application, do whatever. I put the phone back on the desk, 20 seconds later I receive the same notification. I reboot the phone and I receive tens of notifications from last few hours again all at once.

After notification is received once, it will be acknowledged and not received again.

Relevant logs (adb logcat)

I don't know how to extract such logs - I am a bit afraid they will contain private information. ```

N/A

## Solutions

I could not identify any workaround so far.

<To get the feature working or at least to make the device usable>

**Possible fixes**

<Any idea to fix the issue or a link to the line of code that might be the cause for this problem>

No idea. But I am not alone - seems like at least one other person has this issue:
