Push notifications

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.

Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.

Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?

This is against law and against privacy to monitor conversations. This also applies to children in civilized societies.

That's seriously messed up. Let's hope nobody feeds your strange privacy issues.

Android lost. Monitor sms, call log. Tell him you're setting up so you can prevent theft. You'll have to do something about the gmail account in his phone though.

SMS Backup to gmail i think is the perfect solution to this.
To those other comments, i think people should parent their children however they see fit.

Agreed. If more parents cared about their kids, there wouldn't be so many troubled teenagers, so many teenagers turning criminals and the like. Even when the kids are the trouble, kids are often targets for other criminals, from bullies to pedophiles.
That is not spying... that is caring and if I had kids, I'd do the same and more: having a web proxy at home.

Lol . Only when the 12 year old child is paying the bill in his own name. If not he has no privacy rights what so ever on phone owned by the person tracking it.

Cerberus app... then view from cerberusapp.com... you can check text, call log, location, lock and unlock it, as well listen in for up to five minutes at a time. Its a very powerful anti theft tool no to be abused...not even by a concerned parent.

you definitely wont gain much of a trust from your son.

Is this a free or paid app??

I think you can do this with Cerberus app on market but you would have to have it installed on his phone then activate the app then hide it then you can fully control his phone

Trust is a bi-directional thing. If you do not trust your son perhaps you should express your thoughts to him and after talking it through reconsider if he should wield the power of text communication at all.
If you monitor his communication without him knowing it you will have broken his trust, possibly forever. If you tell him, he is just gonna order his crack on a friends phone.
Sorry but there are no shortcuts in parenting.

Requires you to login using your Facebook account. Sounds like a great app, but the Facebook requirement is dumb. I'll wait until there are alternate methods to login.

likewise bc i dont use facebook..no account

Sounds cool.
Maybe I can get it set to text my wife every hour the way she likes, take a picture every 15 min (clip sits with camera facing out) and post every 5th one to facebook. Pickup audio and post it to twitter every so often and I'll never have to touch my phone again.
Calls from the boss go to straight to voicemail

Only login with FB account. That's fail.

You can only use it with a Facebook account, and even then you can only set events on a computer, not on the phone. Tasker and llama are much more functional versions of the same thing.

Yah, as others pointed out, a FB only login = FAIL.
At least IMO, as I dont even have a FB account, and I sure as heck dont plan on having one just to use this app..

Hey wait, I wasn't sure. Can you only log in with Facebook? No one has said anything about that.

HA! Well played sir

Send contact info from within SMS

Is anyone else annoyed that you can't send a contact from the stock SMS app? I love the standard SMS but yet have to have a third party SMS app installed just for this purpose. From the stock SMS you can attach a few things but not a contact. And even from the phone app you can send but through email...not SMS.
Nothing major...just felt like griping about something I guess.
On a side note android keeps getting better and better. I don't see myself even going back to a non nexus phone!

it's not really an "app" it just adds the menu option to share contracts thru messaging app. you still use stock messaging. I have used this since froyo days. it's super lightweight, you'll hardly notice it's even there...

Yup, I've been shocked time and time again that it hasn't already been added since I first started using Android with Froyo.
Which is weird if you've been using dumbphones for the last 15 years I think most of them could do this.

Nexus 4 Chomp SMS users, anyone of you able to attach photos to your sms/mms messages? Chomp SMS force closes when I try attaching photos to messages. Otherwise I like Chomp SMS much better than the useless stock Android Messenger.

MMS won't send running JellyBean 4.2?
We're aware and looking into this issue, it's not a setting, just a compatibility issue with chompSMS and JellyBeans latest firmware. Please be patient, we hope to find a solution for the next chompSMS update.

So basically I bought chompsms and the licence thing and a couple of days ago I had to factory reset my phone and so all my apps were re-installed including chompsms. Only problem I have is that the I have that stupid ad at the bottom of the screen and when I try and enable the licence again, my phones freezes and I cant buy the licence again because it says that I already have it. I've tried looking for it in my applications on my phone and my market but it doesnt come up. HELP!!!! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Does Chomp have group threaded messaging? I can't seam to figure out how to get it to work if it does at all. I'm stuck using handcent at the moment because it does threading, but would much rather use chomp.

I honestly don't understand paying only to remove ads....adaway is still around, people....you just have to go looking for it I'll never pay anyone a single penny to remove ads. If I don't want them there, I'll remove them on my own, thanks!! I don't need to pay someone to remove them for me.

For me it is not about the ads. It is about throwing a few bucks to the dev for the hard work they put in. That's why the ads are there in the first place. I don't mind supporting them. If I like an app and they have a pay app I will buy it. A couple of bucks is a small price to pay for useful software.

I agree, but when the only difference between free & paid apps is the ads I specifically won't pay because that tells me the dev is only out for $$, and that portrays greed....something I will never condone.

Lol really? If the developer was greedy he would of made it a paid app from the very beginning. I don't mind giving some money to the developer for his good work on a app that I use from a day to day basis.

I don't think they have group messaging. I mean you can receive group messages but when you send via group messages you send each message individually. Not sure if developer fixed it yet. That's only thing from keeping me from using chomp SMS for now

I know I am getting off topic, as well as responding to a really old thread, and I apologize, but I just have to respond here. I agree with hp420 that we should not support greedy (or arrogant) developers. However, developers who only add ads to their free apps rather than crippling or time limiting them are the very opposite of greedy--especially one as useful and popular as ChompSMS! They are being incredibly generous, and they are the ones I am MOST likely to pay. Then again, I am about the only person I know who actually pays for shareware on my computer if I use it frequently--partly from appreciation, and partly because I want to give them incentive to keep it updated.
