Ok,
(Before those that have nothing to do start shouting, I have searched! I spend hours last night looking and time this morning looking. This error is NOT related to a googlemail/gmail switch..it is NOT related to internet connection..it is NOT related to some obscure cache issue [i think]. So now that caveate is out of the way....)
I cannot download anything from the Market. Here is the process as I see it...
- Open Market app from phone
- Find app I want and click download
- Go back to main Market screen and click download tab
- App sits there with a 'starting download process'
Now...if the error is somewhere there...can someone please tell me.
But...a few minutes later I get this...
- Alert noise goes off
- Alert says Google Talk authentication failed
- Go and stop the app in the running apps screen
- Find GTalk app on phone and start it up
- It hangs up on the Talk bubble screen with Signing in swirly thing just going round
- Eventually that alert noise goes off again
So...there seems to have been an issue many months back when UK customers switched from googlemail domains to gmail domains. But I have never had either. I am registered with google and I have one of my personal emails set up on that account. I can log into google, I can use Picasa, I can use the forums, etc.
Now, I already have three different email accounts to keep track of...do not need a fourth. But in a fit of desperation I tried to set up a gmail account last night. After 30 minutes of trying to find a user name I gave up. I do not want to be D.sablesurfer.432456 or whatever stupid azz suggestion it gives.
So...things I am wondering...
Is Google Talk integrated with Market somehow?
Can you just use Market with a regular Google log in?
How do I make google talk work since there appears to be no where on phone to change any settings?
Where is google talk looking on my phone for log in information?
Does this have anything to do with the weird sprint email address that seems to be registered to my phone? (Current username = [email protected]) (Obviously where my name would be my real name.)
Please help, the internet has been wholey useless in showing me an answer to this issue.
Oh...and if I log into google web page from phone...and choose Talk from the more menu...
....I am logged into Talk!!!
Yep, it just pulls right up with no complaints.
Ok, lots of looks no feedback.
I stopped by Sprint today and they say basically that my really old Google log in will not work. They said will need to set up an actual GMail account and replace it on the phone.
HOWEVER....there is NO way to replace it without the factory reset. Seriously? Has the Evo or HTC...or Sprint locked this thing down so much that you can never change accounts?
I changed password online...and the incorrect password screen ONLY lets me change password. The account name is greyed out.
I went into Manage Applications and the only button active is the Force Stop. The Clear Data button doesn't even exist. And after the force stop it still does not exist.
How does this make any sense? Really? People are NEVER going to change accounts? Sounds way too strict to me at moment.
So basically...unless anyone else has an idea...on the Evo (not heros or g1's)...I will have to do the factory reset tonight? This sucks.
Have you tried settings, accounts and sync, click on the google account and hit remove account?
Yup, no go. The default in the Evo seems to be permanently locked in. Well until you do the factory reset. I just posted my findings/tip over on general. This is a pisser for a newbie to android and as a LONG time programmer sucks to be locked in like that.
My market was useless earlier.
the name###@sprintpcs.com is just sprints username for you, it's used for network stuff
I'm having the same issue. tired the google search too ... wish I didn't have to do a hard reset... I hope somebody come up with a fix for this
EDIT:
Here's all that I did. I'm not sure which part fixed the issue.
*I un-synced Gmail (still didn't work)
*I deleted the pop Gmail account I had set up (still didn't work)
*I went into the market, canceled everything that was pending a download, then I re-synced Gmail, and set my pop Gmail account back up and BAM!!!! It worked. (Oh and I restarted after I did all of this)
Hope this helps...
Same problem here, hope someone with great idea can help. I am also struck on my HTC evo
Market still won't downlaod
I'm on JI6,
i have this problem that i cannot get the Market to download.
I didn't see and end to this story, only that it could be a Market problem.
But still i have this issue now for 3 days, i did most of the things in this thread.
nothing works ...
HELP
This happens to everyone.
Go to applications.
Click all applications.
Find market. Click market.
Click, clear cache, and clear data.
Restart.
I'm over that, clear the data of download manager ,and from the Market application, removed the update from the market , wifi on , wifi off .....
Still wont download
Then it's your internet if that does not work.
Check your firewall
what firewall , if i work in 3G ?
I'm having the same problem...I just flashed Myn's 2.2 RL3 and it is no different than it ever was. It's pissing me off. I've tried every solution that I could find.
I was having a similar issue with my Evo running OMJ's 4.5.
On the market.android.com site I would click install, select my phone, and it said my install would start shortly, but it never did. I scoured the net and found a fix that worked for me. Try this:
Menu -> Settings -> Appplicaltions -> Manage Applications
Select the 'All' tab
Scroll down and open 'Google Services Framework' -> Clear Data and Force Stop
Hit back and open 'Market' -> Clear Data, Clear Cache (if available), and Force Stop
Reboot
Open Market. You are going to get an error, be patient and let it sit for a moment and it will come up by itself.
You should be golden after this. Let me know how it works for you.
Why must people resurrect dead threads, do they lack the ability to read, the last post to this thread was in the first week of november, if this was still happening, this would be an active thread.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to see if anyone has been successful in turning off Photo sync. Not sure what Google are playing at but having a "compulsory" syncing arrangement does not suit me. Didn't have this issue with my last android device.
I go into Gallery > Settings and the Photo sync is ON option just wont turn off....
Anyway, a way to turn off syncing all together would be great, even contacts, not fond of being "forced" to do that either.
Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for your reply.
Nah ,as I said, didnt have this issue with my increadible s.
So yeah not real sure why I cant change that option. I think I mentioned that also.
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks guys.
Have you been messing around with the Google+ app? Both of those options are in the app and can be freely turned off.
And like someone said, also in the sync settings.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Hey, thanks again. =)
No, I deliberately haven’t signed up to G+ because I have no use for it.
But yeah, It just wont enable me to turn off Photo sync in settings...
I have Accounts and Sync OFF all round but the phone just automatically syncs photos when I take a shot or anything....not sure where to and why...very frustrating....
Thanks again guys...
That is strange, I just tried testing it by taking a shot..nothing is synched/uploaded.
can you post a screenshot of your Sync setting & gallery setting?
Attached is my setting (I don't use G+ as well)
Maybe you should remove the account all together in the settings and then re add it and see what it does... I have G+(useless yes) and i can uncheck sync photos no problem... When i go online i don't see any pictures besides the one i uploaded myself on G+. hope that helps!

Well, if I remove the account, I can at least add contacts locally without being "forced" to sync, then I add my account and bam, no, you can add a contact with out in syncing with my contacts... Call me silly but I would like the "option" to sync things if, IF i want too....it seems I do not have the option here... =(
Vennstrom, I just want to say thank you for your time with this, and everyone else here also, in advance too. =)
Arm, I dont have the ticks on mine, none at all, no options to have on or off, appart from syning globally off but it seems to have no effect..that would be GREAT if it did... =/ whats wrong with my phone!!! =( I love the handset but if I just had the options to sync or not, I'd be a happy little camper let me tell you.
I cant even use the calender with an attached account and I "HAVE" to have one or no dice...so f'ing frustrating...why not a "My Calender" or "PC Sync" option like on my Incredible S....
Thanks again guys.
Please post the screenshot of your setting so we can help you figure it out.
What do you mean you don't have the tick??
Hey Vennstrom,
Yeah like no ticks for on and off. Sorry I havent uploaded any screenies...
I have just tried something though... I put my accounts and sync option ON for a moment...everything synced obviously but the ticks came up...wierd... I would assume if you have it OFF globally, it wouldnt sync AT ALL...but you must have to have it ON to turn induvidual settings OFF... Hasnt completly sorted my problem though... I'd still like a complete lock down on syncing...
The Calender is a worry, as in I cant just "display" my calender without it being chosen to sync also. I played around with that and turned it off and on in calender and what do you know...even though I had Calender sync OFF in settings....it still synced... A little flimsy if you ask me...
Its like you can have everything off...but if it wants to...it will just sybc anyhow...
P.S. I read somewhere if you root, you can delete the "sync.apk" and it will NEVER sync...could this be true??
Cheers.
Anyone?? = )

Hey.
I dont think a screen shot is going to help now really, as I have worked out how to induvidually turn the syncing option on and off. I had bigger questions that was all. The calender issue plus the flimsyness of the phone syncing when it wants to even though the user has turned "OFF" syncing...
My bigger questions were, in my previous post, totally lock down syncing and if I rooted if I would have more control over this, that was all.
Thanks to all that have replied and helped so far. Thank you. =)=)

i didn't look much at the calendar or photos but for contacts android just assumes every contact should be synced somewhere. That somewhere doesn't need to be google though. I did a lot searching but it seems there isn't yet an application to get just fake sync.
For contacts i'm thinking about writing a sync provider that just does nothing. That should be enough to get android to not sync contacts. Than again, i'm not sure if i should, because what i really want is sync with my pc and i likely end up not using and not maintaining the "no sync" provider as soon as i got a good way to have that sync without using cloud services...
I'd think for at least some of the other things (e.g. calendar) it's the same, android/gapps just needs some provider that pretends to sync and every thing is fire for them...
I wonder why it seems that nobody has yet started some project for using android with as minimal as possible private data on google servers...

Thanks for your reply.
Yeah it'll be cool if I could like...not sync at all. I just don't have the need for it. Its very disappointing that its almost compulsory now. Not having a stab but its almost an "Apple" approach. Haha. At least you have control over icloud, and that's saying something. Android supposed to be flexible and customizable to the end... Oh well, we'll sort it out. = )

turn it off like this, works for me after flashing a new ROM:
option#1:
- go to accounts & sync
- new account (Google)
- enter details and untick every option (backup, etc) on subsequent screens
- don't join G+
- after account is set up, immediately click on it and untick "photo sync"
- open gallery and make sure sync is OFF
option #2:
Remove Gallery and use Quickpic instead
Thanks for your reply!! I appreciate the info. = )
Yeah I thought that was the only way. Cool, gotcha.
I can't thank in the xda app!! I will when I get to my pc.
Wonder if there's a Google service you can disable...
This is probably 2 months too late but replying in case anyone else needed to know how to turn off photo sync.
Was having same issue as OP and wanted to turn off photo sync but could not find the checkbox anywhere. What you have to do is first turn ON sync settings.
i.e.
Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> On
Click on the google account. Only then will you see the checkboxes. If global sync is turned off the checkboxes will not appear. You can then proceed to uncheck "Sync google-photos". You can turn global sync back to off after this.
Return to gallery --> Settings and google photos sync should now show as OFF.
Hope this helps any other person who doesn't like to be told when and where to sync.
Hi all

- remove the samsung account and adding it again
- delete all the backed up stuff on the cloud
- uncheck the auto back up - reboot - re check it
can anyone help with that issue pls, I need some guidence to dig deep and analyze this error or bug

I've not been able to back up my S7 since I've had it (about 5 months now) - after researching this online over the past few months it seems to be an issue at Samsung's end (or whoever the provider of the cloud is!), there's a lot of people with this issue. I got hold of someone a week ago to ask what I could do and they advised downloading Smart Switch and using the backup feature on there but my work laptop won't allow me to install without authorisation.
I tried to press the customer services for a reason for the issue but they are giving little away, I had to ask a few times if it was a problem at their end before he said it was and they were looking in to it with no idea of when it will be resolved.
I've resorted to saving my contacts to my google account which backs-up in real time, and saving my photo's and documents to a memory card in case the worst happens before they can resolve the issues. There's also a sync function with Google which also backs-up alarms and calendar etc also.
So, I posted on here a few days ago in relation to some notification issues I was having on my Chinese Huawei Mate 20 X, long story short, I WAS receiving notifications perfectly fine when the phone was on Wi-Fi, but the second I left the house and ran the phone on mobile data, I either got long delays in notifications or in some cases not actually get them at all, applications affected were Facebook, Messenger, Reddit, Gmail and my banking app.
I was also having connectivity issues with Gboard and voice typing with Google. I received quite a few replies but unfortunately none of the advice work and as a result, I had to send the phone back.
The phones seller advised me of the international version of this phone, and suggested that I perhaps give that a go, I have so far messaged three sellers, and every single one of them has told me that I shouldn't experience any notification issues on the global version, even given that it runs the exact same version of EMUI as the Chinese version.
Can anyone on here verify this?
I don't really want to have to spend another $1,000 and wait several weeks just to have it turn up and go through the exact same problems I had with the Chinese version.
I don't know why people have notification problems I've had none on Chinese model I'm in UK on three network if that makes a difference or not ?
I have INT version, I got from FunkyHuawei, and I have no notification issues at all.
No notifications problems here on EVR-L29.
I have the Chinese version 8/256 and no notification issues whatsoever.
Did you disabled the app from running in the background or something like that?
Once I disabled certain apps like Wechat for example, all it's notifications will ceased.
I have notification issues WHILE CONNECTED TO WIFI WHEN SCREEN IS OFF.

Well if you disable the app from running in the back ground, how would you expect to get notifications? You disabled it from doing so.....Am I missing something here?

That's what I'm talking about. Maybe the op disabled it from running in the background and hence there's no notification.
Please try the following methods:
1）Make sure the SIM card is inserted. Setttings---Battery---- Click the gear button on the upper right corner--- switch on “Stay connected when device sleeps”.
2) Settings---Notifications----More notification settings---turn off "Smart notifications"

Go into settings - battery - more battery settings and toggle on the option that says "stay connected when device sleeps". This fixed all my delayed notifications on Gmail and WhatsApp.
I have the 8/256GB Chinese version and this was driving me crazy until someone here on XDA mentioned this and it fixed all the problems I was having.
Any app killed in the recent apps menu (hitting the trash can) will close all apps and will not run in the background, regardless which version you are running. You can see this by hitting the trash can to clear the apps, and then go to settings apps and choose the app and you will see force stop is grayed out cause the app no longer is running.
Trying to find the protected app location or policy so you can add apps to prevent them from being closed down.
I have the same issue with my China-bought Mate 20 (not X tho). Notifications for most apps (especially Chinese apps like Wechat, ...) work without problems, but certain apps don't show any notifications at all. These include: Splitwise, Couchsurfing, and maybe a few others. This is not a VPN issue since both Splitwise and Couchsurfing work in China without VPN. As soon as I open the apps manually, the updates come through. Before the Mate 20, I had a OnePlus 3, also bought in China, and both apps and their notifications worked without a flaw. So this is definitely a Huawei issue.
Battery optimization is turned off for both apps, they're set to manual with all options enabled (auto launch, etc).

3) apps -> app Launch -> ( click on specific applications ) manage all manually ( all 3 options ) for selected applications.
4) open the application and leave it running on the background by locking the app in the background.
I have done all the 4 above steps.
hi, have done the same for past few days but only certain applications show the notifications like WhatsApp /Facebook/youtube/ google./instagram
but still,
1) I am not able to figure out the notifications for Line / Discord / all the games installed in the device.
2) after long hours of non-activity ( say 6 hours ) the applications on the background once again closes automatically ( even after doing the 3 & 4 th points mentioned above )
3) Apps -> default apps ->assistance & voice input -> ( google automatically logs out for some reason not sure why ) even tho i have removed the default Huawei app, I am not able to get the G-assistant as default.
it works for sometime and after some time, the option goes to default as "none" and I have to choose it once again back.
( yes I have done the 3rd point run manually for google assistant )
4) Gdrive -> My drive -> backups -> backup settings -> all the application data is showing as waiting for backup ( except the contacts )
not sure how to fix it - all options are greyed out.
5) Always on display don't show the notification icons - I tried 3rd party " amoled "but battery consuming - ( I will wait for the update in Original built-in software )
6) Screen recorder able to record, ( in-app settings I have enabled all the permission, microphone etc ) but when I click on the screen recorder
by default, the application microphone is greyed out and not able to switch it on.
7) for google maps history to work, I have to root the device and rename folders as per this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/al00-location-history-sharing-timeline-t3887627 )
but I haven't rooted yet. awaiting for proper method for rooting.
Above are the issues in My device ( EVER-AL00 Chinese Rom 8GB/256GB variant - non-rooted)
I have been trying to resolve the issue... but pending ones are the above which I need some help on. ( anyone knows how to fix the above let me know )
But the device is still awesome. until the above issues are fixed I will be using my old device ( mi - max 2 ) along the side.

I have got the phone 2 weeks ago and I really like it. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the push notifications for the Facebook. Please, don't tell me to uninstall it - I use it for business and also to keep in touch with my family and friends - so telling me not to use it is not helpful. However if there is something you can help me with, I would really appreciate it. Here are some details to make it easier for investigation.
Android version: 12
Security update: 5 November 2021
Facebook version: 348.0.0.39.118
- push notifications are allowed within Facebook (please, see attached screenshot)
- Facebook notifications are allowed on Android system wise (please see attached screenshot)
- Facebook Battery usage set to Unrestricted (please see attached screenshot)
What I have tried so far?
- delete cache, storage, the app and re-install
- pause notifications for 15 minutes and allow again
How do I know it issue on Android?
- I have the same issue on every Android device (tested on Samsung and OnePlus devices, same result)
- everything works just fine on iOS - push notifications are coming on my iPhone 13 Pro and on my iPad
What else am I missing? What can change or setup differently? I would really like to use Pixel as my primary device but this is a major blocker for me. Reaching out to Facebook is pretty much impossible. I am offering up to 50 USD (paying over PayPal) to the person who can help me figure this out for once and for all. I have been asking all around the internet and no-one can help me. If I can't sort it out here, I don't think I can anywhere else.

Alright, well let's check the other basics first.
You have
a) allowed push notifications for Facebook and set Battery usage for Facebook as unrestricted
how about
b) check Background Process Limit (Developer options)
c) check Standby Apps (Developer Options again, scroll down to Apps) and tell me which state your app is in regularly (a messenger app should be at WORKING_SET/ACTIVE even when you "close" it in app drawer/home screen)
d) check your power saver & DnD settings (Do not Disturb can delay notifications)
e) triple check your internet connection - are you using a VPN, are all other apps working as intended with immediate notifications? Is it maybe a "not phone problem"?
f) do you have adaptive battery activated? Try deactivating it, AB can put apps to sleep in order to preserve battery life. Restart phone after making these changes.
e) did you download Pikmin Bloom? (not kidding here, I've seen people report Android 12 notification problems, and after deleting that app it began to work again)
E1) Since it has been reported that a single app can cause havoc, it might be possible that some third-party app is causing these issues. It might be hard to narrow down, but if it truly bothers you, I'd suggest to manually place ALL other non-Google apps to battery -> restricted, to find out if that is the problem. If it fixes your issues, you can slowly narrow it down, by gradually allowing battery usage for other apps again.
Since you did not use the word root once, I assume you are not rooted? Since with root access we could force the Heartbeat Intervals to a ridiculously low number (couple seconds), to see if it's truly a Pixel/software problem.
It might be possible that your problem is caused by Androids DOZE function. It doesn't always work "properly" - there is an internal priority list, and according to that list apps get dozed or are allowed to "call home".
A non-root solution to this (IF it's a doze problem) would be to manually deactivate Doze with ADB (and then check your app - if your problem is fixed then, it's a DOZE/whitelist problem)
There is a thread about this here
Android: completely disabling deviceidle ("Doze") in Android M?
In a rooted Android M device, I want to completely disable deviceidle mode ("Doze"), all the time. Yes, I know this affects my battery life, and that's fine with me. I know that I can invoke the

You "just" need to issue this ADB command
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

It's also possible that for some odd reason, Whitelist doesn't work as intended (battery not restricted should lead to the app NOT getting dozed)
That can - in theory - be forced with
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist

Mind though, that it will not stick after a reboot. It's only a temporary solution.
If that solution should work, you could try out
Say hello to LADB, a local ADB shell without needing root or a computer!
Hey there XDA! I'm here to show off a new Android app I've published that I think a certain audience may find useful. Ever heard of ADB? If not, you likely won't need this app. But for those of you who have used or encountered ADB in the past...

in order to get a more permanent DOZE disabling solution. Even though this will cause your phone to burn faster through battery. If it's a general Android / Android 12 issue, I can't see any other non-root solutions though.
With root, you could easily execute the script/ADB commands after each reboot. But then again, there should be at least one alternative non-root solution out there.
I'll start from the end - my phone is not rooted. I was tempted, but decided not to do so. Now to the questions above:
b) Background Process Limit is set to: Standard limit, I did not change that - should I?
c) Facebook is shown as EXEMPTED (and it is greyed out, I can't change it), Messenger is ACTIVE
d) Power Save is always OFF in my case
e) connection is fine, 100%, I am not using VPN, only local with AdGuard, but the same behavior was without it
f) tried that, did not help - on Samsung, OnePlus and here, too
Not aware of Pikmin Bloom - no idea what is it, so no.
Thanks for coming back to me, I appreciate it.

I have got the phone 2 weeks ago and I really like it. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the push notifications for the Facebook. Please, don't tell me to uninstall it - I use it for business and also to keep in touch with my family and friends - so telling me not to use it is not helpful. However if there is something you can help me with, I would really appreciate it. Here are some details to make it easier for investigation.
Android version: 12
Security update: 5 November 2021
Facebook version: 348.0.0.39.118
- push notifications are allowed within Facebook (please, see attached screenshot)
- Facebook notifications are allowed on Android system wise (please see attached screenshot)
- Facebook Battery usage set to Unrestricted (please see attached screenshot)
What I have tried so far?
- delete cache, storage, the app and re-install
- pause notifications for 15 minutes and allow again
How do I know it issue on Android?
- I have the same issue on every Android device (tested on Samsung and OnePlus devices, same result)
- everything works just fine on iOS - push notifications are coming on my iPhone 13 Pro and on my iPad
What else am I missing? What can change or setup differently? I would really like to use Pixel as my primary device but this is a major blocker for me. Reaching out to Facebook is pretty much impossible. I am offering up to 50 USD (paying over PayPal) to the person who can help me figure this out for once and for all. I have been asking all around the internet and no-one can help me. If I can't sort it out here, I don't think I can anywhere else.

You shouldn't have to root your phone to get notifications to work. But Morgrain has included everything and more that I would suggest.
A few things: So notifications for this specific Facebook Account work on other Android devices with the same Google Account?
Do all other notifications work? WhatsApp, GMail etc?
Create a new user (Android Settings, System, User) and create a dummy Gmail Account during setup (important to create a new account since I've seen this also resolve notification issues with GMail and a few other apps, its rare but worth a try, and you can delete the Gmail account after the test, limit the information you input and put a nickname/fake info in). Stay logged into this new Google Account on your Pixel during the testing period (whatever it is 30mins, 1hr etc) because notifications won't come in otherwise. Make sure battery saver isn't on, and give Facebook/Messenger apps Unrestricted battery usage along with enabling all permissions under "App Permissions" and under "App Info" enable anything available: Mobile Data & Wifi Unrestricted background data/usage (2 options), Battery: Unrestricted, and under the Advanced section, some apps have 2 or 3 options such as "Modify System" etc - enable all of those also. Force Stop, then open the app to make sure it is running (check to make sure it is running in Developer Options, Running Services). These suggestions can also be tried on your current installation.
Can you maybe try removing the FB app, reinstall and create a new temporary FB Account or even try logging in with a different one - any changes?
The last thing I would do is backup your phone and manually the data for each app (Signal, WhatsApp etc) and force 2 or 3 manual backups using Google Backup (Android Settings, System, Backup), just to make sure everything is backed up. And using an app like SMS Backup Restore by SyncTech, to ensure Calls/SMS are backed up again. Copy all folders to a computer. Then do a factory reset, and during the setup, pick "don't have old phone" then "restore from cloud" - you will be given 5 or 6 options, only pick SMS/MMS and Calls. Then install Facebook and test it. This has worked in the past for notification issues.

No, specific Facebook Account does not work on any Android device at all. It only works on iOS devices. Without any specific settings. I just login to my account and push notifications on iOS are working. No matter what I do on Android - any device - it does not work. And I am not sure if this is account issue or platform issue. But I am inclined to platform issue as I do not understand why would it work on iOS without any problems.
Hello!
A lot of good suggestions here.
I don't have much input so I apologize - I just wanted to say I have no issues receiving Facebook Messenger notifications. I'm on sq1d.211205.017 (December - manually flashed and rooted). I have notifications for Facebook itself turned off, so I can't report there. I didn't have to change any settings at all for Facebook Messenger to work correctly. I also don't use Messenger very much, but once in a while and I just received a Messenger chat the other day.
You could try manually installing the December update, although I'd probably wait for the late January update instead.
I like @Alekos' suggestion of creating a new account on the phone and trying to use the same Facebook account there, without installing any different/additional apps.
In an extreme measure, you could try a factory reset, don't restore anything from Google Backup, and only install Facebook & Messenger, and wait long enough to be able to tell if both are working satisfactorily.
If working, then after that you would have to install further apps in small groups (I would do in the order of the most critical apps that you need), then wait long enough again to test. This has been my standard operating procedure whenever I have weird problems that I just can't solve. Sometimes, I didn't get a solution this way - the problem was common with Samsung's version of Android, but all other times I eventually found the problem in an app that caused issues.

Messenger is working just fine for me. It has been on every Android device.
As for November/December update - I am not sure this is the culprit. Because as mentioned above it was not working on any prior Android devices either regardless of the Android version.
This is the only application I am experiencing issues with.

I apologize, I missed those things. Argh, very strange indeed. That just sucks.
My gut feeling is it's a Facebook setting that's being restored only on Android. I haven't used iOS, so I can only guess, but I know sometimes iOS and Android versions of the same app are different enough, and sometimes going through Facebook's available settings is daunting.
I know the app has a search function for its settings now, but the Notifications setting is obvious enough. If you've already mentioned looking through this, please forgive me:

Yeah, man. It's driving me crazy. I can't seem to find the issue for almost 2 years, insane.

I just edited my post above this reply. I might not have suggested anything you haven't already tried, but take a look. I feel your pain, as Google Reminders used to work great for me, but for the last two years, they do everything but actually remind me.
I have set those to Push - all that are relevant to me. I have posted it on screenshot in my 1st post. But thanks for trying, man. I really appreciate it.

Ah yes. I really should wake up before I answer posts. Technology! Good luck, I hope you find the solution.
Will you consider a workaround of changing from Push to something EMail or SMS?

so wait, no facebook account works at all on any android device you've used? That's really odd. A billion FB users!
Can you just try this: Create a new User (it's really easy) and a new throw-away Google Account (easy also) and a new FB account just to test? it will take maybe 5 mins. this will help in narrowing it down (if it does work).
I have tried that. I have created once a dummy account for Fb and used with my present Google Account - no issues at all.
Everything I tried looks like it's Fb account related and specifically on Android. I don't know how to solve it.

I know it's not what you're looking for, and you shouldn't have to do - or maybe that is what you do already, just had to ask.
I mean, I could, but it is not as convenient, not to mention I am more interested into WHY it is not working on Android and no issues on iOS. Can't get my head around this.

Me neither. Problems like this where nothing seems to solve drive me nuts. I may take a screenshot of my Facebook notification settings, set them all to push, and see what happens. I expect I know what'll happen.
Edit: Gotta love the Pixel screenshot "Capture more" button.
Just wondering, have you uninstalled rebooted, and re-installed? Or are you just copying over the apps/data? I had the same issue with Aqua mail, until I uninstalled, rebooted, and re-installed

Same happens when I unbox the phone and start fresh install right out of the box. Or if I install, update to latest version, restart and install all over again. Result is always the same.
This is a Facebook/android issue, I've been dealing with it for 2 or 3 years now across multiple devices.
