After flashing CM10 onto my phone yesterday (first time ever flashing), I started playing around with it, and I really like it!
However, I'm not getting notifications from apps any more (ie. email, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit News, etc). It works for some things, like SMS notifications, but that's about it. I have to manually check everything now, which kinda ruins the point of having notifications at all. Anyone know a fix?

wipe cache in the apps themselves (the ones you arent getting notifications in). i would wipe the data for those apps too. understand that will clear whatever settings you have in each app and you will have to set them back up.
settings > apps > select the app and the clear data and cache
I've already tried that and uninstalling/reinstalling them. I still don't get notifications.

hmmm. did you try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery?
did you use titanium backup to make a backup of your apps and then restore them?
did you perform a full wipe (including system) when you flashed this ROM?
Yes, yes, and yes.

i've heard of nothing but problems restoring apps through titanium. thats why i asked.
you may have to full wipe, reflash rom/gapps and manually install/setup apps. read around a little first in case someone on the internet has a better solution.
But the thing is, even the apps that I uninstalled and reinstalled are having the same problem, so it doesn't really make sense that Titanium would be the problem.

I just recently have been experiencing a very annoying problem and I'm not sure the cause. At first I was using Handcent, and now I'm using Go SMS. When I receive a text, the app freezes completely and I can't open it back up without rebooting my phone. I'm using everything stock except the launcher (Launcher Pro), but I doubt that has anything to do with it. The default messaging app will show a blank conversation list and when I try to write a new message, it's dial-up internet slow (yeah, THAT slow!). The only solution I seem to be able to find is flashing the phone or just trading it in for another one.... Don't really wanna do that so it would be great it someone could help me find a solution! Thanks!
I've had a similar experience. And when you say stock, do you mean as in unrooted, or like sprint lovers? But try this uninstall both go and handcent from your phone, reboot, then re-install one and try it. You're rooted, and on CM7 [happened when I was, no more though] do a clean install, wipe everything, flash the latest gapps, and then install the app.
Oh sorry, unrooted. I wouldn't say Sprint Lovers either, more like too lazy to root lol. But anyways, yeah, it's just unrooted. I've uninstalled handcent and reinstalled it twice already with the same results. I haven't tried uninsalling go sms, but since the same thing is happening I figure it's not the apps fault, but perhaps something going on with the phone itself.
Under those circumstances, I think a quick factory reset, as much as a pain it'd be, would clear it up. But look into mybackup in the market. I think its a backup for apps for non-rooted users and I believe free, that way you can just restore since you can't use titanium backup.
Aw... Well it looks that way. Thanks for your help. I'll look into that backup app. I'll let you know how that goes.
Anytime man, hope it turns out well. I'll be around if ya need anything else.
Hello all,
My son's EVO will not send MMS. When he tries to send a text with photo, he gets a failure with "generic network failure". We have tried it with wifi, 3G, with Handcent and the stock messaging app. We can't find any other problems, just that, as far as we know.
He rooted the phone using this procedure:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/54844-guide-rooting-3-7-hboot2-02-w-screen-shots-1-27-2011-a.html
and everything seemed fine, so his ROM is sprintlovers but maybe one version back from the current one.
So finally to my question - Can I flash a nandroid from my EVO (Vaelpak ROM) to his phone? I just want to see if I can send an MMS from his phone using my system. I figure if not, at least we probably ruled out a problem with his ROM.
Advice appreciated !!
Not a good idea, too many different numbers and variables, things can get worse if you mix software/harware/firmare stuff from different phones. I think there are a lot of little differences in the guts. I would make a nandroid backup and flash another rom right on his phone. Can't hurt to try
Dont do it, you will mess things up worse. Titanium Backups, yes. Nandroid, no.
Seconded... Nandroids don't flash from phone to phone. But Titanium Backup, will do the trick. Also make sure your incoming message size is set to 1mb... Are you using stock messenging or handcent?
In the send/mms setting, I set my cache to the 5MB for evo only, on handcent, never had a problem. Also don't place your backup onto his phone, because it will cause problems. I would try the method I suggested, or flash the newest sprint lovers rom if that's what he likes.

OK, I'll scratch the nandroid swap thing. Glad I asked!
Tried with both messaging apps. I don't know what his message size limit is, but he has been unable to send OR receive text w/photos. I'll look into it more this evening after work...

He's had his mobile data in some form on while doing both, sending and receiving?

Yes, tried with 3G and with WiFi, didn't work either time. Of course, we've pulled the battery, etc. etc.
Should we try something like wiping caches? Clear app data? I'm at a loss.

In his receive settings, is auto-retrieval enabled?

Yes auto-retrieve is on. His "connection settings" (messaging>settings) look different than mine. His were all blank, where mine showed values below each setting. He is able to edit his, so he made them match mine. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem. Funny thing is my connection settings show but can't be changed.
EVO on VaelPak
Update - we backed up, factory reset, wiped cache, and flashed the latest Vaelpak. MMS worked but he missed all the sense stuff, so we flashed Sprint Lovers. Things seemed to be working. He was messing with settings last night when his phone shut down from battery drain. So he charged all night. Phone stuck on white evo screen when booting this morning, even after battery pulls. We did get into recovery tho, so wiped caches and reflashed SL again. Things seem OK again, we'll see... I wonder if he hosed something up when he was going through the root process. If he keeps having issues I'm gonna go through the whole process again just to make sure there weren't any issues with it...
I have posted this in several ROM threads as well as the Android Q&A, with not a single response.
This is what I get in the T9 dialer on ANY 4.2.1 ROM. If I tap "loading" it takes me to the contact list, I then hit the 'back' softkey and it takes me back to the dialer with the contact name displayed instead of 'loading'.
Why dont you wait for it to stop loading before you tap it? Do you have a lot of contacts? Because I dont and mine doesn't even display "loading" when dialing.

I have let it sit for up to 5 minutes and it stays at 'loading'. I have maybe 100 total contacts between my 2 Gmail accounts.

Hmm. Well I dont have that problem. Right when I press a number, the first contact it finds a match to pops right up. I'm running CM 10.1. Maybe it has something to do with the multiple Gmail accounts? I dont see why it would but its the only thing I can think of.
I don't have any issues with the stock dialer either, didn't even know there is a "loading" screen there. I use EX though cause I got use to the swipe left to text / right to call function.
Since you've given us no clue as to what you may have already tried, I'm going to start with the obvious...
I'm guessing you have either corrupt data from restoring via TiBu etc, in which case I would recommend deleting data from the app and rebooting; or you have permissions issues, in which case I would fix permissions via ROM manager and reboot...
that is pretty odd.
i once had my duplicate contacts resulting in about 300+ and i never seen that loading thing before.
i've run through boat loads of 4.2.1 roms and never seen that either.
perhaps you should check how your gmail accounts are synced in settings?
maybe go to www.google.com/contacts and see whatsup there>?
edit- agree with danger-rate
go to recovery->wipe cache->wipe dalvik cache->fix permissions->reboot

I don't restore anything from TiBu or any other backup program. I can try to fix permissions in CWM. I have run MMuzzy, Xenon, BAMF, CNA, and a few others. All of them do this on the T9 dialer. When I go between ROMs I wipe everything and start fresh.

Try fix permissions using ROM Manager.
CWM takes about 2 seconds, and gives you zero feedback. I'm not even sure it does anything.
RM takes about a minute, and tells you exactly what it's doing.
Wipe data from the app itself (long press the app in the recent used list and look at the app info). Wiping Dalvik won't do anything for this...

I just went to the Google contacts page and nothing looks wrong. I haven't had this problem since 4.2.1. I don't have a clue, it just seems odd I would be the ONLY person to have this issue.
Even after a rom manager fix permissions I still have the same problem.
Just to say its not only you OP I get this from time to time with no idea why,seems to be a rare problem,if I get it fixed will be sure to post the solution
I'd post this in a more relevant location, but y'know. Not allowed unless I spam the forum for post-count. Oh well.
First off, I'm using the latest nightly of this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050948
Despite the thread title, it's now running Android 4.3.1, CM10.2, PA 3.99-RC2, AOKP jb-mr2, if any of that is important.
Next thing to mention, I have no cell/data service of any kind. Everything is strictly wifi only. Using two google voice numbers setup on the built-in sip/internet calling.
So here we go. Wiped my phone completely, installed above rom, and latest gapps, as usual. Installed a few basics(Swiftkey, Titanium, Tasker) and the installed Google Voice. Opened Voice+, selected my account. The native messaging app will now happily send SMS using google voice. So will any 3rd-party sms app I've tried(Go SMS, Handcent, etc.) My problem is, I set Google Voice to receive messages via the native app. Send myself an sms from another number, I get nothing. Changed Google Voice settings back to receiving sms via itself(the google voice app). Again, send myself a text... nothing. Until I manually open the google voice app. Then it does it's little refresh business, and bam. Up pops my text messages(within that app only). I've checked everything. Any auto-sync setting and background data settings that I can find are turned on. Wifi connection is active and internet works.
I just can't figure this out. Ideally I would like to receive my messages via the native app or handcent, but at this point it would be nice if I could get them at all, without having to manually open the google voice app to see if any decide to pop up. Was also hoping to stick with this rom, as it's the only I see with those latest versions I mentioned above. Particularly I wanted to use Voice+ rather than the extremely buggy and overpriced apps for integrating google voice sms.
Anyone know what's going on here, or how to fix it? Not really sure what other info to include, so I'm sorry if I've missed something important.
P.S. If my grammar sucks or I seems to be typing up half a thought, it's because it's 5am and I have been at this for many hours now.

Do you have you're phones sync on...might make a difference...since you're using WiFi.
Besides that..I would wipe cache of the app..if still buggy..wipe data and cache of the app...and reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache...you might even uninstall the app before the recovery wipes of cache and dalvik..then reinstall and set up...
Sorry I'm not more helpful..I don't use that set up...but I bet somebody with more experience will chime in here soon...

Yep, sync is turned on in every place I could find a setting for it. As for the other stuff, I've tried wiping cache and whatnot. I also wiped the entire phone several times and tried different roms. The one I mentioned above, the Dirty Unicorns rom, and now I'm on the official CM10.1.
*EDIT* Well this is embarrassing. And kind of confusing. Just for the sake of thoroughness, I went into my router's settings, and lessened the security to low, as well as turned on UPnP. Reset my phone's wifi, and now everything syncs instantly, including gvoice text messages. So now I have to wonder, what exactly was the problem. Is there a port that needs to be open on my router, does anyone know? Also, I'm wondering what that means when I want to use my phone in places with free wifi, like McDonald's or coffee shops. As I said, I'm strictly wifi here. Any input would be appreciated, but I guess my issue is semi-solved. Just wish I didn't have to lower my network security just to use my phone.
My wife is going from an iPhone 5S to the Note 4. She wanted to bring all of her messages with her so I backed them up. All of them. All 38,684 of them. Then I tried to restore them to the Note 4. That's where the problem began. Nothing I do at this point will clear out those messages. I have uninstalled Google Messages. I have opened the stock messenger app and cleared the data and cache. I've "Turned Off" the stock app and turned it back on.
Every time I re-install Google Messages it says "restoring messages" as if they had been backed up someplace. I'm not sure but this is DRIVING ME NUTS! I don't want to have to do a FDR on a device that we've had 6 hours.
Does anyone know how to either boot in and wipe the cache or fix my problem???
Google messages as in hangouts?
No Google Messenger. Sorry I typed the wrong thing.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 4.

so what did you back the text messages and MMS messages up with. My other question is why are you using Google Messenger? If they are on the phone, isn't that where you wanted them to begin with?
Please elaborate what you used to get them off the iphone and what you used to import those on your Android Device. Have you experimented where you deleted one out of messenger and and see if it comes back? I need to know what you used. Thanks

I followed this method. I used iSMS2Droid then I used SMS Backup & Restore.
Yes, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Google Messenger. I've cleared it's data and cache. I've used the stock app. I've cleared it's data and cache. Regardless of how many times I clear the apps data and cache, once it is re-installed or re-enabled, the messages ALWAYS come back. I uninstalled SMS Backup & Restore, and they still come back.
The good news is we figured out that it takes SEVERAL hours to restore 38,000+ text messages. Just by leaving the phone alone for those hours while we slept it got much better. However, it's there a way to boot into recovery and clear the Note 4's cache?
Also, why do these things keep coming back? The file that I downloaded is a .xml file and I'm certain that the SMS apps aren't restoring from there. Just very frustrating.
