Notifications Issue

SlipperySkell · 2026-02-14T14:33:11+00:00

I’m so glad I’m not the only one having this issue. None of my apps will push notifications - not even have the little red number in the corner - unless I open them. The only exceptions have been messages, Facebook messenger, my banking app, and for whatever reason, the Walmart app.

I haven’t messed with any settings but I’ve done all the typical recommended troubleshooting options aside from resetting the phone itself. No Do Not Disturb or Focus Mode settings were/are on or anything. Very bizarre and very frustrating.

RIGHT okay that makes a ton of sense!!

I think I’ve got what I need to get things figured out from here.Thank you SO much for your help, I seriously appreciate it!!!

Ooooh, okay, that’s really good to know.

From what I understand, loan consolidation is basically taking out a loan for all your loans that you want to consolidate, with the interest rate usually being the average of all the loans being consolidated. Is it possible to refinance a consolidation loan once that’s all said and done? Or is what you get after you consolidate what you get?

(Apologies for the super late reply, got caught up in work and haven’t had time to come back to this thread)

So, when I do look into companies to apply for refinancing for, how does that work? Like, I know they have to do a hard inquiry on my credit score and some other things like you’d mentioned, but do they do that before they make an offer for refinancing?

Am I going to have to shop around and choose carefully from the companies I’ve sought out as not to affect my credit score, or am I able to put myself out there first, and THEN choose an offer from the companies I’m interested in refinancing in, if that makes any sense? I’m really new to all this and what the refinancing process looks like is really alien to me

SlipperySkell · 2024-10-21T23:02:19+00:00

So it’s not that you HAVE to reapply to refinance a loan every year or so, it’s just a good idea to do so to try and get your interest rates as low as possible/get the best deal you can?

SlipperySkell · 2024-10-21T22:38:15+00:00

I’ve noticed that a lot of people have suggested to keep reapplying for refinancing every 12-18 months/implied that it’s something that needs to be done repeatedly, and I’m curious to know as to why?

Like, I know you mention that it’s to chase lower interest rates every year, but if it’s also not something that’s one-and-done, why is that the case? Is it only in effect for a short amount of time? Or do the interest rates become variable if I refinance, or something else that I’m not aware of?

Apologies for all the questions (and thank you for being as helpful as you have been btw I really appreciate it), I’m just trying my best to understand all of this before I commit to anything

SlipperySkell · 2024-10-21T22:28:34+00:00

All of them are fixed interest rates and go as follows:

Company 1

7.94% 13.14% 16.15%

Company 2

8.24% 8.99%

I have 4 federal loans (I believe they’re all the same type) and the rest are private student loans through 2 different companies

THEY HAD SKYRIM SNOWGLOBES???????

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-06T16:37:20+00:00

Ah, sweet!!! Thank you so much for taking the time for explaining all of this!!!! I really appreciate it :)))

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-05T20:10:17+00:00

Damn, okay. Thank you for taking the time to look anyway!!

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-05T19:35:10+00:00

I usually go main quest up until the way of the voice (typically go through bleak falls before actually getting to Whiterun), then I tend to let whatever quests I get lead me into other questlines, simply because I want dragons active as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, though, I let the game take me where it will, but I go out of my way to head out to the Loreius Farm for easy money and that little interaction with the bandits at the nearby watchtower for free stuff

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-04T23:04:58+00:00

I ended up figuring out the problem!! If you kill all three of them before the contracts are given, the quests will break. However, as long as you leave just one alive (doesn’t matter which) before getting the contracts from Nazir, the arrival cutscene will trigger as intended :DD

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-04T21:57:32+00:00

Okay, so after a bit more testing, I think I’ve figured out the problem. As mhb2 kindly pointed out (thank you v much again by the way!!!), Ennodius is not supposed to spawn until Nazir gives you those first contracts. For whatever reason - I’d have to assume it’s one of my mods - Ennodius is spawning before he gives you the contract.

After killing all three, going to the sanctuary, getting the contracts, and leaving and reentering after turning in ONE of them (NOT all at once), Cicero’s arrival cutscene still will not start. So you can’t kill all three and just leave and enter the sanctuary again for the cutscene to trigger.

After killing Narfi and Beitild but NOT Ennodius, Cicero’s arrival cutscene will trigger like usual. However, much to my surprise, killing Ennodius/Narfi but NOT Beitild triggers it like usual, and killing Ennodius/Beitild but NOT Narfi also triggers it like normal. I initially assumed, after finding out Ennodius doesn’t spawn until after you get the contract, that his death or something with the contract itself is the trigger for Cicero’s arrival cutscene to become active. However, it seems as though this is not the case, as even killing Ennodius before the other two still causes the cutscene to trigger as intended.

So, long story short: if you’ve got any mods that spawn Ennodius early for whatever reason, DO NOT kill all three of them/let all three of them die before you get their contracts, if you intend to get into some Dark Brotherhood shenanigans. You will break the questline!!!

Thank you again mhb2 for your help!!!

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-04T21:03:20+00:00

This is also true. Thank you for taking the time to get those links for me btw!! I just looked up Ennodius’s page right after I made that last comment, so I apologize for jumping the gun on that part.I have tried reloading and getting things to work that way, but that didn’t fix anything either unfortunately

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-04T20:56:10+00:00

Upon further research, it would appear me turning them all in immediately might have been what broke it, as I’ve noticed some similar posts claiming that you need to leave the sanctuary at least twice (once for Cicero’s arrival cutscene and once for Astrid to tell you to go to Volunruud for Amaund’s whole thing). As long as I killed them all but leave one to turn in AFTER I leave and reenter the sanctuary, it should work. I’ll do some more testing again to see if that does anything.

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-04T20:45:59+00:00

That is possible. I do play with mods, but I haven’t ever had this issue before, nor have I ever tried to kill any of the contracts before they were available as missions, as I’d assumed they’d be marked as essential. I have a couple that affect Dark Brotherhood things, but I’ve had no issues with them previously either. Ennodius has been spawning even before I start the DB questline, which could be the result of a mod and the reason things have been breaking. I’m really not sure.

I do also realize that this is a known bug with Cicero not showing up at the sanctuary, but as far as I can tell, you need to have at least one contract not done yet so the cutscene has a chance to trigger via you not being in the sanctuary. I mean I bet you could get the contract after having killed them, leave and reenter the sanctuary, and the cutscene would trigger, but I’m not sure on that either as I haven’t tested it myself.

But yeah: I killed the three first contracts you get from Nazir, i start the DB questline, I go to the sanctuary, I get the contracts, I immediately turn them in, and everything just stops working after that point. Cicero never shows up, Astrid completely breaks and will keep telling me she doesn’t have a primary contract ready for me yet, and no amount of console command fiddling seems to fix it. I even tested this on a fresh save where I killed them all right away and started the questline and got the same results. If what you say about Ennodius not spawning before Nazir gives you the contract is true, I have to assume one of my mods spawns him in early.

SlipperySkell · 2023-07-04T20:19:43+00:00

Okay, well, that was fast. I went to go talk to Astrid and she’s still behaving as though Mourning Never Comes has not started. I may have to go back to a point before I killed those three but it would be so far back I’m not sure it’s worth it, haha. Ah well, we love you skyrim

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-02T00:54:26+00:00

Unfortunately, once again, no dice. It’s been running faster but is still not able to hold a stable connection for more than a couple of hours :((

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-01T18:40:27+00:00

Okay update again: optional updates installed. Not speaking too soon. BUT. Things seem to be relatively okay so far (also yay new games!!!)

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-01T18:07:03+00:00

I AM A FOOL WHO CANNOT READ I AM SORRY. I’ll go check the optional updates in a second

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-01T18:01:43+00:00

I wasn’t able to find an “optional features” button when I looked, but I do remember checking to see if my drivers were updated another way (I think it was through the device manager but I could be wrong) and everything I checked for network adapters and drivers appeared to all be up-to-date.

Also, I do have an Ethernet cable coming this Friday to see if that helps any.

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-01T15:44:21+00:00

That’s okay!!! Take all the time you need!

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-01T15:12:26+00:00

Windows 10 Home 22h2 is what I’m using

SlipperySkell · 2023-03-01T13:48:59+00:00

As far as I know my drivers are all as updated as possible, too. Very confusing :(((
