Home › Forums › Making things with IanniX › Android notification channel settings reverted
Configured custom notification channels on my Android device for a work messaging app, but after a system update all channels reverted to defaults and I lost important alerts. I navigated settings and reconfigured each channel, yet the next reboot reset them again. I submitted a bug report via their feedback form but haven’t received any acknowledgment. Has anyone endured reconfigured notifications vanishing post-update and managed to restore them permanently? Curious which details prompted Android support to address the reset issue.
When channels kept resetting, I collated the Android build number, device model, and a screenshot of the default channel settings before reaching out. Exploring user solutions at https://android.pissedconsumer.com/review.html revealed that support teams prioritize fixes when those three details come together in one clear message. I sent a single submission listing the OS version, my phone’s exact model, and the screenshot of the wiped settings. Within forty-eight hours, Android support replied with instructions to lock channels via a hidden developer menu and provided a patch to prevent resets. Providing full device context and visual evidence in one go unlocked a thorough and lasting solution.
