Hi,
I used to have facebook push notification on my Galaxy S.
However, since around 1.5 weeks back - I rarely get this notification.
Facebook notification refresh setting is already set to every 30 minutes (but why is this necessary? Since it should be a "pushed" notification, isn't it?)
I've done plenty of things on the phone in the past 2 weeks (one of them is factory wipe); so I can't put my finger on when is the last time the push notification work.
Anyone got any clue?
Actually i noticed i havent been getting notifications either.
On 2.2.1 JPY.
same for me!! weird!!

I don't think I've ever had the facility to have the notifcations pushed. It probably works out in your best interests as it will probably save you more battery life and data in the long run

I think the opposite actually.
If it's not "pushed", then the apps in your phone will try to connect at certain interval to check if there's latest records.
If my understand is correct, in the past, facebook application for android, works by using the 'refresh interval'. But in Dec, the "pushed notification" is added into this apps

I used 2.2.1 and had pushed notification. My guess is that this happen only in Jan, and probably after I did the X'mas version Darky's ROM.
Do you guys think this pushed notification works based on your phone "product code" ? Flashing ROM is known to change your Product CODE.. (I think mine was changed to XOR, XEE, XSO before.. )

Yeah the app itself has settings for regular updates but I hadn't noticed a push setting previously. Can only assume FB pulled it for some reason because the ROM's themselves don't really touch any third party .apks.
Guys..
I got "pushed' notification now; but only for messages so far.
This is what I did in facebook notification settings..
Untick all Notifications (e.g. messages, friend requests, event invites) and also untick the notifications. Also set the Refresh interval to - NEVER
get out from that notification setting page.
Get back in again and this time around, ticked all notifications back .. but keep the Refresh interval to NEVER.
Using push notificatiion, so don't need to ask the Facebook apps to "poll" the servers for latest data.
once again, i'm on 2.2.1 using Darky's ROM V8.0 with latest SpeedMod Kernel (dated 13th Jan 2011).
I wasn't getting any notifications pushed either and i read somewhere (can't remember where) that you can fix it by resetting the push notifications thing (i think its called c2dm).
One way of doing this is by going into Settings > Applications > Facebook > Clear Data
Then open up facebook, enter your details and it should work (it worked for me)
sounds like when I did change the notification setting, that have the some effect as clear the data and create a new one.
got the same prob also since last two weeks.. flash every rom from stock to custom.. from 2.1 to 2.2 based.. and finally on darky 8.1.. still push notification for facebook app not popping up anymore.. but it works fine before.. can someone identify what is the source of this problem?..
Same problem here. Any ideas?
I actually do not have this problem BUT.... I can´t hear any pop sound when someone sends me a message on FaceBook....
I have gone into settings and enabled sound and everything there but I never hear any sound when I get a message
Any way to fix that?... would be SUPER sweet

Push notifications work via push service which is dependent upon "Android ID", not product code, I know that because I had problems with Kik Messenger which works with push notifications. People at Kik explained that push service is connected with unique Android ID of your device and if it changes, you will probably have problems with notifications. Android ID changes if you, for example, flash custom ROM. I was lucky enough to create complete nandroid backup when I first bought the phone. Kik didn't work properly on Darky's (or any other custom rom) so what I did was: restored my original ROM, installed Android ID changer from market, wrote down my ID, flashed Darky's again, installed Android ID changer again and restored my original ID.
Now push service works like a charm
Hope it helps...

on facebook desktop website, in the top right corner click "account" > "Account settings" > "mobile" (a tab).
The sms contains the content of the notification (altho can be cut short if too long) and depending on the context, a url to the mobile website.
EDIT: oops, looks like iceland isn't on the dropdown list... (probably no carriers in your country support the function ) Many other countries do though :S
I use F plus (flow) now.
Might not be push, but at least I get them now, which is more than the facebook app did ever did.

No matter what settings I use on facebook they always revert to default after not using the app for a while.
Any ideas?
anyone find a solution to this yet? sorry for bumping a old thread but it's driving me nuts not being able to check notifications on facebook!
Recently, my phone had an issue where the notification badge on an app icon did not disappear. This is occurring on the messaging app. I received two texts during the night which I did not see until the morning. However, during this time, an automated Titanium Backup was made (I don't know if it matters though). The messaging app constantly shows a 2 in the red bubble beside the app icon indicating unread messages. There are no associated notifications in the bar. Further text messages correctly appear in the notification bar but do not change the number of the messaging app. I have tried restoring a previous Titanium backup and even reflashed my rom (stock Bell rooted rom) to no avail.
I have tried googling this problem and many of the users report this issue on HTC devices but none of the suggested methods in those threads worked for me.
This issue is not "critical" as my phone functions correctly 100% of the time. It is just annoying to always see the notification badge.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello, I had this issue while using the stock ROM as well. The only resolution I could find was a factory reset. Since, I have not experienced the issue again. However, I am currently running jellybro so it remains to be seen.
When you performed a factory reset, were you able to back up your data and restore it or did this re-instigate the issue?

Tried that already. Deleted app cache/data via settings. Also deleted cache and dalvik cache via CWM to no success.
If all else fails, I will resort to a factory reset and hopefully be able to restore everything via Titanium
OK so here is how I fixed my problem.
1. Made a full backup in Titanium
2. Made a nandroid
3. Factory reset via settings menu
4. Re-flashed stock root rom
5. Deleted Titanium backup data for Badges, Touchwiz, and Messaging
6. Restored via Titanium for all system data and other apps.
7. Problem fixed!
METHOD 1
What your need:
Your mobile phone
Titainium Backup * Root
Steps to install WhatsApp to your Nexus 7:
Use TI Backup to backup WhatsApp on your phone
Copy the 3 backed up files (properties, tar.gz, apk.gz) from your Titainium Backup folder from your phone
Install Titainium Backup on your Nexus 7
Copy over those 3 backup files to your Nexus 7 (into Titainium Backup folder)
Run Titainium Backup and restore WhatsApp (App+Data)
Titainium Backup will first restore the app, and might self open
When WhatsApp opens up just close it
Titainium Backup will resume to restore the data
Now run WhatsApp again, and it will prompt you to follow the initialization procedures
It will fail after you submit your "mobile phone" number and Force Close
Run WhatsApp again, and you are good to go
:laugh::good:
Edit: Please note that my TitaniumBackup was done on a custom ICS ROM (ParanoidAndroid) from my Samsung Infuse 4G phone. ICS is the closest thing to JB... so perhaps if you back up from Foyo or GB, it might not work. But give it a try.
METHOD 2
StrangerWeather said:
This is my method. Might work with an landline if you don't have a mobile at all, I haven't tried. I have an ordinary mobile (not a smartphone), and I managed to get Whatsapp to work on the N7 using Bluestacks.
Start by following this:
Install Whatsapp apk: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk
Install Appguard - details here for the next few steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=17
Now if you fail verification for both the SMS and Voice methods like I did, and if you don't have a smartphone, the following is an option.
You need: a pc, a mobile phone for texts (an ordinary mobile phone is fine).
1. Download and install Bluestacks on your PC http://www.bluestacks.com
2. Select "Social" and install Whatsapp on your PC.
3. Input your mobile number. The SMS verification should work this time. Be patient, it can take 10 minutes.
4. Once you have your code go back to your Nexus 7 and input it.
Hope this helps!

I've tried this before.. apparently it screws up the entire system. Some messages get send over to the phone, some send to N7 and some both! I wouldnt know if any of them didnt get sent over though..
But since this confusion started, i decided to take another number and use whatsapp along with it.. At least both my devices can chat with each other

Yes, it has the same number as your phone. But think of it like this, is not really a "number". WhatsApp treat your "number" like the account name (username).
It will go to your currently active device. I don't have issues with the messages, I used Nexus 7, all the messages went to my Nexus 7. If i start using my phone, messages will go to my phone. However, it MIGHT cause confusion if BOTH of your devices are active.

Think of this as Microsoft MSN Messenger... you only receives message towards your active client...
Anyhow, I'm using my mobile phone right now with WhatsApp, zero issue, since it is the currently active device.
It doesn't screw up anything, WhatsApp server just delivers to the whatever active device, and there is no sync just like MSN Messenger...
THANKS for this, I was a little disappointed when I can't install Whatsapp at the Play Store. :good:
Didn't work for me. Install went fine (restored from TB), but on running, it says that it can't identify my device, and that tablets aren't supported. Thinking that maybe it was my DPI, I changed to 160 and tried again. No dice.

That's normal, just hit cancel when it says can't identify your device, let TB restore the data as well. Then launch it again, the restored data will trick WhatsApp to bypass the initial device checking. It will "think" your device is supported (because it thinks it was from your mobile phone).
If it failed, just uninstall WhatsApp completely from your Nexus, then do a restore completely from your TB (MUST BE APP+DATA).
PS: My TB backup was done on ICS from ParanoidAndroid ROM for Samsung Infuse 4G, so, MAYBE there could be some conflict if you come from Foyo or GB. ICS is the closest thing to JB.
Thanks for sharing, working beautifully on my 7 now!

Technically, you can, if you can swap the iPhone SIM card into an android phone, setup Whatsapp in your android phone using the same number, then use TitaniumBackup to back it up and restore it in your Nexus 7.

I had the same problem, kept saying not compatible with tabs. After a few dozens of tries I got it working. Uninstalled everything whatapp related (from N7)and just used the 3 files from titanium back up (from Gnex) placed those 3 files in back up folder (titanium) and restored from there. I can assure you it works. Follow steps posted om some earlier post here.
Messages do not syncronize between devices. What I write on Gnex stays there, same for Nexus 7.
Good luck.

It needs to be YOUR OWN android phone, what's the point of taking your friend's backup? You will end up having his user data and Whatsapp number, which doesn't match your Nexus 7's user (you). Of course it won't work. The point of taking the TB backup from your own phone is that when you restore it in the N7, everything would remain more of less the same, including the user profile etc.
Unless you can add your own Google account + Whatsapp account to your friend's phone set it up, run it, then do a TB backup under your own accounts, otherwise i highly doubt it will work.
"usage notification bar" and "T-M my acct." dissapeared from my notification panel!
I have the original ROM 4.3 T-M Note-3. When we do the finger pull-down, notification panel normally has a notification bar (with used SMS, minutes and traffic) and icon for "T-Mobile my account" shortcut (I think it's seen all the time in the top left corner of the screen.)
Mine has both gone, when I go to T-M folder in apps "T-M my account" is still there - new updated version 3.6.70 with option to "display usage information in the notification bar" grayed out(!!!)
I tired everything possible and could not get it back to work - even uninstalled the update and went back to the original version. The original version allows me to check/uncheck "display usage information in the notification bar" but does not make any difference.
As suggested by T-M tech support did a master reset, the bar showed up but as soon as the back-up installed all the updates and programs it's gone again. And no I did not recently install any programs which could kill that. I only have a few streaming radio programs on the top of built-ins.
I had a problem before when the usage bar was not updating, went into the application manager and cleared cache/data and it went back to normal.
BTW every time I restart the phone I get that stupid notification about "application being forced to stop for unauthorized attempt..."
So everyone else has it working fine???
Just tried it on mine and it popped right up in the notification bar. I'm on the stock 4.3 rooted rom. If it everything else fails I would suggest you Odin back to the official 4.3 rom, re root, and install the stock 4.3 deodexed rom.

that's the new firmware we received last week... just installed the app, working fine for me, did on the old and the new one now...
Sooo I got the phone last Thursday and am using it on Verizon. I've had a few issues that I figured I'd throw a thread together incase anyone else has the same...
Known Issues that I have:
"GroupMe" application will not update unless I am in the application and clicking on a specific chat. - Worked on every other phone I have and cant even find anything on this subject on google. If someone sends a message in a chat it will not update or notify me. I have to click on the specific chat for it to update. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and cleared the cache. un-optimized it with battery settings, nothing is working.
Fixed Issues that I have:
Phantom vibration. - Almost like a notification is happening but nothing is showing on the screen. Cant figure out this one for the life of me. I even have a notification log downloaded and it just vibrates away with nothing being logged.
Found out it was Verizon Caller ID app. Apparently it keeps crashing and "starting" over and over again. I disabled notifications on it and the vibration went away!
MMS Cannot be received only sent. - I've gone through this extensively with Verizon support. Tried everything on another thread, switched out sim blah blah blah, finally they have opened a ticket with the engineers and will get back to me in 48 hours.
Works now in default app just not android messages......................................
Anyone else having any other issues?
That's disappointing that there are mms issues. MMS on the U11 using anything but the stock messaging app was a complete ****show. I hope you can get more bands than just 13 as well.

Someone on Android Central had Verizon block messaging and then re-add it for everything to work. Maybe worth a shot?
Same here... Unlocked US model. Send but not receive texts...
I've done the same, reset, new SIM, swapped Sims etc.
I'll take a look on AC and see if they have something there for a solution... Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I'm not alone.

I have found that Android messages app doesn't work as you can't select the preferred sim for messages. Having to use stock at the moment.
Somewhere in another thread, there was an adb command I think that set and enforced the default sim slot. Wonder if that would help with your issue, Nestacres? Sorry, I would search myself and link but just checking in on a quick break at work.

Android Messages isn't comiled for usage with Dual-SIM, as Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all Single-SIM devices. If you know how to use adb you cand do the following:
From adb shell run the following command
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
This did the trick on the U11 DUGL as well, and Android Messages could be used and worked just fine. Thanks to @Electronic Punk for pointing that one out to me!

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive.

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.
HTC handle it differently on phone and SMS as they have a button for each sim.

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.

Yeah they handle it quite different. But let's see. Maybe we'll get an overhaul with Android P.

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive. I can pop the SIM and put it in my iPhone x and the texts just role in immediately...I really want to love this phone! Lol

I did everything possible. Even got a new SIM... What seemed to do the trick (and was the last thing I did) was having Verizon block my messages and then unblock them.
Then I could send + receive. Beforehand I could only Send... But beware it does not work with Android Messages.

How did you first activate your phone? If it's not activated properly on Verizon it can fry your SIM card or cause things to not work.
I first swapped my SIM from my U11 and could not make calls but was able to use internet and send and receive text and mms. But just like the U11, I can only receive MMS on the stock apps like HTC messaging and Verizon message+. Cannot receive MMS on third party apps.
But the proper way to activate the U11 and U12+ is to first register your imei with Verizon then you have to transfer your SIM from a Verizon device that has advanced calling/VoLTE in the settings.
The U12+ does not have any Verizon advanced calling or VoLTE setting so if you just pop a new SIM in without first having it activated on a Verizon advanced calling device, it could cause problems and fry your SIM card.
It sucks but that is the best way to activate it.
Manually attached IMEI to SIM, and toggled messages/on/off on my account.
All is well and working for receiving SMS/MMS on stock messages! It worked immediately...
Thanks for the feedback and discussion everyone.

In my case, after updating (purely, after RUU) to v1.21.401.3 I have noticed a few times that after picking up the device and "squeezing" I should wake up, scan my face and unlock my smartphone (I have my preferences set) .
But just the few times after "squeezing" the device does not react at all, there is no vibration.
After the traditional unlocking (applying the finger to the fingerpront or pressing the POWER button) the smartphone wakes up properly.
This happens when the smartphone is not used for a long time (deep sleep?).
But this is not the rule.
I also had ONE total reboot.
On the other hand, the update did not improve in the first few months the best inflections of the volume up button (Vol +). Very often you have to press many times "to surprise", and pressing and holding it to turn up in series - is very difficult to achieve

Is anyone else having issues with the youtube app? Im finding it buggy. To be precise: if I start a video and then turn the phone landscape to go into fullscreen, if I then turn back the phone vertical and come out of fullscreen and then try minimise the still playing video it goes a bit haywire, parts of the screen goes grey and I can't minimise the video. Can any replicate?!

New issue thats bothering THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!
The phone isnt vibrating on incoming calls. I thought I just kept not feeling it or hearing it but nope, the phone literally turns the screen on and it just doesnt vibrate. I don't have battery saver on, and I don't have "Do not disturb" on. Its weird.

Discovered a slight work around since. It doesn't happen if you go in and out of fullscreen using little button in the bottom right. So it only happens with auto rotation.
