Push noification/GCM not working - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've encountered a strange problem which I can't figure out.
It first came to light when I tried to enable push notifications in the BBC News app, which kept coming back with 'push registration failed'.
I thought this was just the app playing up, but I downloaded a different app which also is not able to register with GCM to register.
I've tried disabling my google account, then logging in again but no change. Rebooting the phone also has no effect.
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks

I was just playing around with Greenify and noticed that the Xposed Module has a feature that will keep apps hibernated, but allow push notifications... Do you have this enabled by any chance? Could be causing the issue.
Also; is your phone rooted? Any mods?

[Q] Problem with Facebook Authorziation Popup

I am not exactly sure when this started happening but lately I cannot get any app to authorize my account on facebook. For example, I installed sycn.me and when I try to use it, it asks me to login and after logging in, I get a prompt with all the permission details and there is OK and Cancel button but I cannot click on either one. I tried disabling the Facebook app but even the web popup has same issue. I have tried several different apps that rely on facebook permissions and all have same issue with the popup. The apps that have already been authorized, work without an issue. So I don't think that it's an issue with authorization but the authorization detail popup.
Does anybody has any solution for this?

Please help, no notifications with fb messenger

I have rooted 4.6.1 with nova launcher. I have tried both amazon store messenger and play store version. When I say no notifications I mean nome. Not eve if I had the app open and switched to my home screen but kept phone on. I have xposed but disabled most modules.
I really need this to work. I have checked app settings, manage notifications, and notification listemers and I don't know what else to try. I can't reset the phone. It took me a dozen hours just to ge.t everything setup.
Edit. I am not sure if any notifications are working right now. Got a text and only after profreminder app sent a reminder beep did I even know.
Edit 2. Outlook works. Attempting to try others.
Ideas welcome.
Hey sorry to do this, but wanted some new visibility from people who may have read the OP. If your notifications are working, could you let me know which if any apps you have disabled, if you are rooted, that sort of thing?

I was bothered by that issue and never got it working. Curiously though, the notification works only when you happen to be in the Settings section of the Facebook Messenger app.
I've changed FireOS for CM11. I don't regret it. Every push notification works as it should.

Not receiving some push notifications

Has anyone experienced problems with some notifications? Just recently I stopped receiving push notifications for both Hangouts and Whatsapp? My messages only appear when I enter the app. I've even cleared the app data for Hangouts, uninstalled, reinstalled, and it solved the problem but only temporarily. I can't determine if it's a phone, marshmallow, or app issue. This is my first time on marshmallow and I've never experienced this before coming from KitKat on my HTC M8.
I've had the same issue since updating the OS software last week. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I'm not receiving push notifications for any apps anymore. All settings are turned on to receive them. I've even downloaded an app to push the notifications and it doesn't work.
Are you sure DND mode is not active?
Absolutely positive.
I managed to fix it through a whatsapp forum about not receiving push notification for that particular app. Hopefully this helps the OP.
When I got my phone I restricted background data on google services because it used 10gb of data within a 10 minute period of turning on my phone, mostly coming from that. For the first 2 months I was still getting push notifications for all my apps, but with the most recent OS update something must have changed it so the settings were no longer compatible.
So I re-enabled background data on google services and it started to work.
See if that helps. If not, I'm stuck on ideas.
Good luck an let us know how you go.
I was wondering if anyone had any problems with yahoo mail I only recently get emails notifications Wen I open the app I can't find anywhere in settings Were you can change sync every 5 minutes or so on I don't know what it's set at

[Q] Facebook notifications do not work

Anyone else having issue with Facebook notifications?
Every other app works fine - Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn..etc.
I checked my app settings and notification settings within Android and everything seems to be in order. Even re-installed the Facebook app and still no dice.
When I open the app I see I have notifications, however my phone isn't notifying me of anything related to Facebook. I have open the app to see the notifications within the app.
Anyone else having the same problem?
I am on Pixel 2 XL 8.1 stock.
Did you disable background activity for the app?

No, it is active.
Having the same issue. Also there are times the app doesn't recognize that the phone is connected to WiFi. The app continues to update the feed, but the videos won't auto play until I turn off WiFi then back on.
Have you ever cleared the cache and data under the Google Framework Services trying to push the OTA update? It is said that would break GCM things.

Anyway to keep Google Phone app from being disabled at boot?

I have the unlocked model LG-G820QM running Android 10 software version G820QM20a.
I'm using the Google Phone Dialer app instead of the default phone app. It works perfectly fine and can be set as the default app. However it is disabled every time the phone boots. I'll see it on the screen for a second and then it's gone. I have to go back into the play store to enable it, add it to my home screen, and reset it as default every time.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of anything I can do to stop this from happening?
Hmm... wonder if adb disabling the LG phone app (com.android.phone, or maybe there's a more specific package for this?), then installing the Google Phone app would work. Disabling the LG app may cause some pages in About device to not load (i.e. Network information), but it's easy to re-enable, so if anything goes wrong you can go back.

Thank you sk8223, I gave that a shot.
I used Application Inspector to track down the stock phone app name and then ran this command.
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.phone
While that did stop the Google phone app (com.google.android.dialer) from disabling at boot, it broke phone functionality. I kept getting a pop up that com.android.phone keeps stopping. Trying to use the Google phone/dialer app wouldn't connect. It would let me enter the number, but then clicking the call button just caused it to reset.
I also tried disabling the stock Contacts app com.android.contacts, and that didn't solve anything. I tried combinations of both stock phone and contacts disabled. One of each. And the same with the Google equivalents.
You're probably right about there being some link in the chain that I can disable to solve this, but it seems there are quite a few dependencies baked in to the phone applications, that I'm not sure which service I could disable to let the Google app work without the actual phone functionality breaking.
Interestingly enough I couldn't re-enable either the Google Phone or Contacts app from adb after reboot. However I could navigate to them in the Play Store and click enable there. Then checking the disabled apps list in adb showed they were no longer there.
That's weird, you should have been able to adb pm enable the apps again without issue. I think LG's heavy skin over Android is affecting the way the app is supposed to work. Probably because the stock LG Phone app is labelled com.android.phone when it really should be com.lg.phone... which is probably why upon reboot the phone app keeps reverting back. Stupid LG. Wish a safe BL unlock was possible so we can get a nice AOSP ROM on the G8 already
tl;dr don't think this can be fixed because of LG
