[Q] G3 fb notifications - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new to android phones and G3 (32gb/3gb/D855) is my first one.My problem is that i cant make my fb app push notifications.I have set on notifications from in app settings/account plus app section in G3 settings.I did clear data ,uninstal/install app even a reset to my phone !But nothing so far.Any suggestions?

Facebook for Android doesn't push notifications like iPhone does. But if you have the most recent version of Facebook beta (not sure if I'm still running beta or not) you should get Android L style lockscreen notifications of new Facebook notifications. Also notifications may or may not pop up in your notification drawer. I don't follow any friends on my fb only the news sites and companies I'm interested so I don't get many notifications

The facebook app about a year ago always pushed every notification, past few months it hasnt. I think it's just the FB devs being ****ty coders again!

FB push notifications on iPhone and Android are way different. Android does not push notifications like iPhone. It only shows a notification

The core code. It's completely different, Apple and Google are like chalk and cheese. Total opposites.

Yes I know code wise of course they are different. But notifications are still shown and sent out via apps and displayed on the notification bar. What way is it in iOS? Is it not similar?

Here is a more technical answer for you -- delves into it a lot more than I can. :good:

When gcm is used it does push notifications, the difference is just that you can decide yourself what you do with the message you received (as app developer) and show a notification or whatever afterwards.

[Solved][CM10] Ehnhanced Notifications Disabled

Hello everyone
I've switched from CM7 on my old Nexus One to Galaxy Nexus and CM9, which was updated later to CM10.
I know everyone will tell me I've done a wrong thing, but I restored my whole phone apps/configuration from my old phone using TitaniumBackup: I have to say except for 1-2 apps, it worked just as I wished.
After few days of CM10 and watching other phones around me, I found out that Enhanced Notifications are already enabled in the nightlies, but they seem to be disabled on mine!
At this point I'm looking for some advice for enabling this feature. For sure, factory reset is the fastest option, but I will forget about the enhanced notifications rather than going through the whole factory reset thing.
I really don't need the full instructions here. A very brief hint can do the trick for me.
Thanks
Is it a specific to any one app or all of them? Because not many apps actually support enhanced notifications yet. Gmail is one that does.

Honestly, I never had the enhancements on my phone, so I don't know for sure on which apps they should appear.
Gmail gives long notifications (some content of the email), but no buttons. I think this is it for now.
But for missed calls for example, there should be some buttons, which are missing.
You mean the issue refers to phone app? nice idea. but I don't know whether phone app is not sending them, or notification bar doesn't receive.
Can you introduce me some app with the same feature support, so I can test?

Gmail isn't supposed to have buttons, just long message preview. The expanded notifications aren't always expanded. Drag down on it with 2 fingers. It should have buttons for a missed call.
Easiest way to check expandable notifications is to take a screenshot.
It's a huge shame for me that I didn't know this double finger trick.
thanks a lot

By the way: the notifications are never expanded on my phone. How can I change the default settings?

I think it just depends on if you've got other notifications already showing. If you've got none it should default to expanded.

iOS 8 Like Notifications

Does anyone know of an app that gives you iOS 8 style actionable notifications? I like the ones on the lock screen that allows you to swipe to the right to go into the app or swipe to the left to to reply to text, archive in gmail, ect.

Buy an iphone!!!!!

What's really funny is that crApple is getting credit for the Heads Up notification style that's been in Android for over a year.
Sent from my VS985 4G
Wait for Android L for notifications on the lockscreen. Have tried the Android L dev preview on my Nexus 7 and it is a great feature to have.
For actionable notifications however, there is a headsup notification feature like the poster above me said. You can use an app called HeadsUp to achieve that affect. Another app called Floatifications displays the notifications in a bubble style thing like Facebook Messenger chat heads. You can give it a try if that is your sort of thing.
If you really want notifications on your lockscreen though, try adding a widget to your lockscreen which displays the current notification. Or try DashClock for a similar sort of effect.
nils will do the screen on and swipe to open actions

I use AcDisplay. It's customizable and looks damn sexay!!
Probably not what you're looking for but I'd definitely give this a try. I really love it. Plus it changes if you're commuting or between day and night, etc.

The Notifications in Android are usually actionable. The lock-screen ones are something to look forward in Android L. For any other notifications you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.headsup. These are technically baked into Android L but are available now in form of this third party application.
Try LockerPro

I see my girls phone does this but it's retarded cause you still need to unlock the phon3 an open the app lol
Im actually using AcDisplay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=pl check it! :good: only u must installed xposed app
Read the thread by s3v3rn 7..this is a modded rom with aroma installer which has an option to install iOS icons etc..

Always on display Note 7

Hi,
For those who are already lucky to own this phone. Can you tell me something about the features of the always on display.
1. Are third party notifications (esp. Whatsapp) supported
2. Is it possible after tapping on the notification to get a preview
3. Is it possible to dismiss a notification and/or to go directly to the app of the notification
Cheers

I haven't checked for Whatsapp specifically, but the always-on display shows me notifications from Pushbullet, Nine (exchange email), DS Cloud and others. I guess it works with any app.
Taping the notifications does nothing - or i missed something in the settings.
Double-tapping them opens the corresponding app (at the appropriate place; example, the email that triggered the notification) (but first of course you have to unlock the phone if you have a secure lockscreen set).

Okay it looks that Samsung has listened to the request for S7 user. Nice to hear that 3rd party apps are now displayed.
That I dont get a preview of the message and can't mark it as unread is little bit dissapointing. It looks that I still have to use a 3rd party app for notifications. It looks that nothing beats Moto Display so far
I believe th e always on display stays th ere for up to an hour after you right a note. You can choose different themes.

Facebook notifications?

Hey guys, I know that I had issues last time I had a Samsung, with Fb notifications: meaning that I did not see likes or comment likes and so on , ONLY if I opened the app. Did they fix that? Do you get a badge on the app icon for Fb likes now?

Sounds like the app was being put to sleep by the battery manager. You can disable sleep optimizations for Facebook so you get notifications in real time. I'm having that issue still where I have to open the app and I get all my notifications as soon as it's opened

Question Nova 6 replacement

I'm moving from a Pixel 4a to the 6 and it feels like a good time to have a change of launcher.
Been using nova 6 but it seems to be getting more buggy. I didn't move to 7 as I didn't want to lose persistent notification badges.
I like a simple homescreen with icons (no search bar!) And persistent badges.
Closest I have found is Microsoft launcher, but persistent badges are not a thing. I really want these, at least in a unified mail app, SMS and WhatsApp.
Did anyone ever work out a solution after Google changed the permission rules (leading to the demise of Tesla unread)
I am on Nova 7.0.57 and my badges work. I just turned on the setting and I got two emails and it showed a 2 on the icon.

But if you now clear the notification , or open the email app and 1 email, does the badge clear or does it display as 1?

I didn't know there was an 8! So are notifications back to the good old days of 6 (ie dismissing the notification bar doesn't remove the unread count)? Great if so
