Hello,
Is anyone else not seeing their widgets refresh? I'm talking specifically about my Email and Google Voice widgets. If I get a new message, it doesn't seem to appear, and old messages don't seem to clear out. I've tried opening the app but that doesn't seem to do it either.
This was an issue on my Nexus S 4G when running an ICS ROM, so I'm assuming it's just a quirk of ICS... since these are Google-made apps, I'm guessing it's the OS and not the apps themselves.
So am I the only one having this issue?
I experience this too on my email widget. It works approximately for a day, and the next morning, when emails start coming in, it doesn't refresh. I have to replace it to work again.
Yup, my email widget doesn't refresh consistently so I decided not to use it anymore. Kinda annoying.
that's odd, mine refreshes a few seconds after the initial notification. Cdma or GSM?
Also, how often is your email syncing? If you have it set to a long time its not going to tell you the second one shows up

GSM for me. My Gmail widget refreshes consistently but the Email widget does not.
CDMA for me. My Email and Gmail accounts are set for push, and Google Voice's refresh rate obviously can't be changed.

If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
I will try the beautiful widgets uninstall...never would have thought that would have been it! Thanks.
I wasn't really referring to Beautiful Widgets, mostly to Gmail and Google Voice. Also, this seems to be happening to my Toshiba Thrive, indicating that it is an issue in Honeycomb as well.

Hi all!
I'm loving the Desire so far, except for this one little thing...
I have all the update schedules for updates to friend stream, news, email, facebook, twitter etc etc all set to the most frequent level, but they very very rarely update.
I am on T-Mobile and I have 4 or 5 bar HSDPA connection most of the time.
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I'm in a somewhat similar situation:
*Friend stream (Facebook and Flickr) and weather update as per set schedule but it doesn't update the widget also, only when you look at it for a few seconds.
*Mail works perfectly and updates "push" mode, there's no schedule for that
*News is the one that never syncs no matter what time I set it to.
Anyone else?
I've double checked all my settings and they seem to be fine, Hotmail is set up properly. Could this have anything to do with killing the apps using advanced app killer?
I used to have this problem but it seems to have fixed itself on the update to .11 (T-Mobile)
Mine doesnt update either, unbranded.. running orange.. on latest update!
It's one of the main reasons I bought the phone and it just doesnt do it, how frustrating!
I added the email widget to the main desktop, seems to work better now.

Friendstream and email seem to work fine with mine but I also have the same problem with the news widget.
It never seems to update even when I set it to after every 30mins
Perhaps HTC will release an update to fix shortly

I think it is because you are using an app killer, try adding them to the ignore list, and see if that helps?
I don't know if anybody else is having this issue, but I am using the "Buddies Now" widget that came stock with this phone, I don't know what is causing this but randomly all of the widgets in question I have added to a page lose the person that it was assigned to and revert to being a blank widget with no contact. I am assuming something is resetting them. It was happening before I installed Advanced Task Killer and is continuing after so I don't think that something is getting closed because of ATK which is causing the issue....Any suggestions/help/advice? Thanks
Yep. I ran into that yesterday for the first time.

Curious...I wonder if an auto-sync of GMail contacts will reset the widget. If your contacts are constantly syncing, it could disrupt / reset the feed to the Buddies widget, essentially making you reassign each time your contacts update automatically.
Test that and see, just remove contact sync as auto and see what happens. Worth a stab
I hadn't noticed this.... then I read this thread and within 30 minutes it happened... just my luck
Probably just going to use a different launcher.

I'm going to try that now...lets see if that helps...I also have launcher pro already set up the way I like it but haven't set it as default yet...hopefully the issue can be resolved so I won't have to change but no big deal if I have to
Even after Unchecking sync for contacts and assigning each widget a contact around 815PM tonight most of the widgets have lost their assigned contact and now are blank.
Yep happened to me too.
I am just using direct dial shortcuts for now, that widget is way too unreliable.
I noticed mine were messed up after issues with contacting facebook.

Again, my were messed up after spending the entire weekend on roam and experiencing numerous LOS issues.
Contacts widget .. stumped
i am also having a similar problem. my contacts will not show up in the widget as they are in the list. doesn't matter what launcher i am running. this has got to be reasonably simple fix. Please and thx
What happened to the old buddies now widget from the OG epic. This one doesn't have no carousel effect and the pictures are blurry.
Buddies now widget Problem
Im getting this problem at random intervals it just resets and wipes all the tiles,
I have factory reset the phone and unchecked the auto-sync but it still resets,
it's Really Really starting to annoying me,
Anyone come across a solution on this?
If so please please share
I found a fix that made it possible for push notifications to come through in realtime (for comments,tags etc.). I heard about that BlackBerry simulator solution and this is what i did : I downloaded a BB simulator (for 9300 series of phones or something...basicaly BB 7.0 or so). I logged out the FB app on Android, then i fired up the BB simulator/emulator and i I entered my facebook credentials in the BB's FB app and enabled "push notifications" and i also disabled all email notifications within the app. After that i logged-out and so FB push notifications started coming through immediately on my Samsung Galaxy Try it ,it freakin works! P.s.: i would love to know if it worked for you. And another thing, don't forget to re-login on the FB app on the Nexus and ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS in the Options menu (the first checkmark box just under "refresh interval". Every other things like Event Invite,Messages and Friend Requests don't come through via Push but via refresh interval. Everything else will work through PUSH

Mmm are you signed into any other facebook application ie friendcaster etc as that will cause it not to work also remember to sign out of the android facebook application then sign back in after
Worked for me, thanks!
For FB settings do you need update intervals enabled? If so, how often?

No not really you will get instant fb notifications, i set mine to every 30 mins though it really does not make a difference
Facebook app is such a mess.
On my Sensation and other phones, with notifications turned off, I get PERFECT notifications.
Now with my new Galaxy Nexus, with it on or off I don't get any notifications.
Man I hate them.

Yes you need to be signed out of any facebook when you do this trick
So basically if I have the Facebook messenger app installed on my phone, this will not work?
For example I removed facebook app from my xoom. I installed facebook app on my nexus. I also have the facebook messenger installed on my nexus. So can I use this method?
works for me! make sure u remember to sign out of both facebook and facebook messenger on your gnex before u sign in on the simulator
Worked for me.
Just follow the instructions, and remember to log out.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the hopes that they are, I'm posting this. For some reason, I'm not getting any notifications for push apps. Specifically for me, its Gmail, Google Voice, and FB Messenger. The apps aren't even syncing. I have to manually go into each app and tell it to sync.
I've had Gmail and GV sync for a little while after a ROM flash, but it never lasts more than a half hour or so.
Any ideas?
Not sure what rom u are using, or if you are using titanium to restore apps... but try settings>apps>gmail (or other apps) and choose to clear data, NOTE: you will have to re-sync accounts by going to settings>accounts and sync and enter ur info. your contacts will disappear for a short time while it re-syncs. its worked for me on previous devices after flashing a new rom, not sure if it will work here....
Check what kind of Internet connection you have: settings>wireless&networks>more>mobile networks>acces point names. The one working is net.
Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.
I tried moving the gv app to /system/app but it didn't fix it.
Make sure you aren't disabling sync via the power widget.. it sounds obvious but it happened to someone

Similar problem here as well. Google Talk only seems to give me a notification when I turn the screen on. Just got my gnex last week and running stock jb now (only rooted).
Hi all, How are you?
I have a Galaxy Nexus with Android stock 4.1.1 JR003C and Facebook app 1.9.8.
I am experiencing a weird issue with latest fb app update, May someone help me please?
I have turned on all notifications on my fb account and on the app settings, but I still don`t get any notifications at all.
I mean, I have push notifications enabled on fb app and also in my fb account. However, I don`t receive any notifications on my cell phone.
I have tried clean the fb app cache/data and also re-install it. However, It didn`t fix this issue.
Please, does someone know what can be this issue root cause?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Make sure allow notifications is ticked in the Android App Options or use G+ or the browser

just wanted to chime in that im not receiving notifications even though ive made sure all the proper options are checked.
running mROm.
Facebook notifications on Android 4.x are VERY buggy. Try a Google search on the matter. For some people it works, for others it has never worked. Despite all settings are OK. I fixed mine by lending a Blackberry device from someone and logged into Facebook using the BB Facebook app for that one time. The theory is that allowing the BB app access to your FB account somehow fixes notifications for Android as well. This workaround has proved to fix it for many people myself included. Worth a shot imho.
The only way mine work was to activated bb on facebook. Hello facebook android is not a bb!

Hi all,
thanks a lot for helping
I was wondering, besides the blackberry workaround, is the another workaround for this issue?
I don't know anyone with a blackberry
Is there a kind of blackberry emulator for developers that I can use?
Btw, all notifications settings on Facebook website and on Facebook Android app are correct. Fb app notifications have stopped to work on my cell phone after the latest fb app update...
Google plus looks like good choice, but nobody uses it.
Access fb website on cell phone doesn't give me push notifications.
Thanks in advance,
Roger
I have just found out the link below,I am going to try it and post the results:

Guys, same thing here! Notifications not working! Galaxy Note, using AOKP 4.0.4 ROM.
In fact, I had this problem in the past, but I solved it using exactly this BlackBerry method. Now it's not working again! I even did this BlackBerry login thing using emulator again, but still without notifications here. As my birthday was on August 27, I thought that, maybe, due to lots of notifications about "happy birthday", Facebook stopped on purpose all those notifications, but now I'm noticing it's in fact a bug!
Please, Roger, tell us if it will work to you! As I said, I tried this again and now it's not working!
And I really don't know when Facebook will made decent apps for Android. Probably Mark Z. is an stupid Crapple fan boy!

Did this tomorrow before going to sleep, after doing one more time BlackBerry trick. A few hours ago, when I woke up I noticed a Facebook notification, about a comment in a picture I was tagged. I became happy, because I thought the issue was solved, but I had more notifications after that and it's not working again.
Hi all,
I tried the blackberry workaround, and It didn't work for me.
Please, does someone know another workaround for this issue?
Btw,I tried Facebook app on my ipod touch, and it seems that notifications works on IOS...
Thanks in advance,
Roger
I have also tried wiping Facebook app cache, and also reinstalling the app itself.
Unfortunately, neither worked.
does this notifications issue only affects galaxy nexus?

No, it's an issue of the Android Facebook app. It's supposed to get a major overhaul that will be released in the next few weeks, just like iOS. Let's hope that will fix a lot of issues including buggy notifications.

Google have blocked fb contact sync only for nexus series since Android 2.3, right?
I was wondering if this fb notification issue is another block from Google?
It's not.

let me clarify it for you. Google had blocked Facebook syncing on android because of privacy issue. Facebook notification doesn't have any issues with privacy, so that's why Google only blocked contact syncing
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I think my notifications are back here, although just some of them are being notified here.
Using Galaxy Note, AOKP 4.0.4 and latest Facebook app.

thanks for clarifying
I am aware about this privacy disagreement between Google and Facebook (I am very concerned about my privacy on internet), but the majority of the users don't care about it. Besides, I think that blocking fb sync is stupid decision as it is very unlikely that fb will do something about it...
I hope that Android will lose market share to Apple with new IOS with fb integration, thus Google might realize that it was a bad decision, and hopefully will stop to force users to use Google plus (it is good,but nobody uses it).
Btw, I have just received an update for fb app(1.9.9) and it didn't fix the notifications issue. Did it fix this issue for someone?
