no Facebook notifications :-(

Hi together,
Within Facebook I configured an auto-sync and receive notifications but I do not get them :-(
tried already to de-install and install but did not help.
latest Facebook version is installed.
Does it work for anybody?
Thanks and cheers,
alkorsi

by default sense has very aggressive memory management meanng it will close apps quite quickly there are some app on play and as a mod on the forums, to improve it.
but before that have you tried unticking and reticking the box? clearing cache/data of FB or reinstalling it?
I have no memory management tweaks and i am getting them just fine :/

Does nobody else face this issue? :-( Do you get FB notifications in your taskbar?

I don't get them either, but I didn't get them on the SGS2 either, so not sure if I'm supposed to get them.
I get a notification via tapatalk though when someone sends me a private message. - so, not every process gets killed.

What kind of notifications do you miss?
Perhaps you should activate them yourself, on your fb groups you should visit the group and turn on notifications to get them, for IM you game messenger perhaps (no problem there I think?)
You can also check the refresh interval @settings on your Facebook app if it is high then you won't get notifications so often.

where to check - within the app or within FB itself?

This is an Android issue....the only way I solved it myself was get access to a blackberry (yeah I know) or the virtual Blackberry software for windows.
Once logged in to Facebook log straight back out, you only need it for a minute, then go to Facebook on a PC, account settings and then apps I believe, in there somewhere will be Facebook for Blackberry, allow this access and that's it!
Its a bit fiddly but it solved it for me!
If you Google the right thing you will find a step by step guide, sorry I did this a year ago, so its all from memory :-\

I can confirm this. When I was still using my Galaxy S2 and lacked notifications for Facebook, I used the virtual blackberry software for windows from the RIM site, and logged in on facebook with that to fix the problem. It's been mentioned a few times before.

this is an well-known issue and affecting majority of Android devices, there are two workarounds
1. use MB Notifications for Facebook from Android Market
2. try the Blackberry FB tricks here:

I used the 2nd method and it works like a charm

Or use Friendcaster (or Friendcaster Pro) from the market.
I get all notifications with no problem by using this app and it has a push setting too (although it is still a bit buggy atm)

[Q] [B506] Background apps get closed and can't receive notifications

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced this with B506? Some apps like Telegram or WeChat get closed in the background just after a few seconds and then if someone messages me I don't receive the notification until I actually open the app (which completely defeats the purpose of the notification...).
Is this just a problem with my phone or has anyone else experienced this?
I know it's the app that's getting somehow closed because every time I start for example, Facebook or WeChat, I see the splash screen (which is only shown the first time an app is started).
Thanks for any help!

Are you allowing it to run in the background, and allowing it to startup at boot?

That's the thing, ever since I flashed B506 I lost that setting in the menu where we had the security options and could choose what runs in the background and what doesn't... I thought this was removed by Huawei on purpose. Do you still have it?

Yes, I still have it, and you should too.
Do you have the Phone Manager app? All the options are there.
In settings, Protected apps is the setting for the background apps.

Wear Compatible SMS Apps

Got my 360 yesterday and I'm loving it. I discovered that the Chomp SMS notifications don't get sent to the phone. Chomp does its notifications differently so I need to test the others, but I thought I'd ask. What do you use, and is it wear compatible?
I know Hangouts is compatible, so we can build a list of known good apps.
edit: Chomp tweeted at me and said it is compatible since version 6.21, but I couldn't make it work on mine. Might be missing a setting. Another user confirmed it worked on his phone/watch.
Wear Compatible (can reply from watch)
Hangouts
Textra
Evolve SMS
Go SMS Pro (able to pull up older messages from watch)
Handcent SMS
Chomp SMS (might require special settings)

I use Textra. It works great.

Does it have a Wear app? You can reply from the watch?

Doesn't have s specific app for wear but the notifications are passed through and the notifications allow you to respond directly from the watch.

Ok. I was reading about someone not being able to reply from a stock app on a Galaxy S5 I believe, so I'm not exactly sure what the app has to have to allow replying from the watch. Thanks for the report.

It has to have the ability to respond in the notification bar on thr phone I think....without opening the app....

EVOLVE SMS WORKS LIKE A CHARM ALSO.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Go SMS Pro is compatible with the Wear. It's the only way I know of that you can actually read through your existing (old) text messages and send a text from there. You just have to pin the messages from a particular contact to the top on the phone.
I found it odd that with the stock messaging app you can't simply read through your texts, but Go SMS Pro has figured out a way...

Wow, Textra is amazing! Thanks for this. The whole layout is solid, it works well with Light Manager and Nova Launcher Counter. You can reply, mark as read, and call. Seriously, that's better than stock sms and hangouts.

Is there any app which allows you to delete sms from wear? Hangouts does not allow that. I get a lot of SPAM messages and this would be really helpful.

I like Handsent SMS which also pushes to the wear. It is infinitely customizable.

I also want to thank you for bringing it up. I like it a lot. I love Hello SMS but it keeps having issues with MMS on T-Mobile. They update it often, but the latest versions I used started having a big bug that would crash the whole SMS system and I would have to reboot. The last version I tried to use was forcing me to sign up for a free SMS before I could use the app. That was the last straw.

Im not quite sure what you are asking.. my Chomp SMS and Moto 360 work fine. Notification goes to both phone and watch. It clears from the other once it is viewed.. can also reply from moto 360

Apparently it is compatible since version 3.6 I believe, but it didn't work on mine. Maybe I missed a setting? I'll update the OP. I'm using Textra now, so I'm not inclined to look into making Chomp work (at least as of now).

I love Textra and have been a long-time user BUT the one gripe I have about Textra & the Moto 360 is that when you mute notifications on the phone, you don't get the vibration from the text messages via Textra. You have the have the phone set on vibrate... I mean it's a small thing but I really do hope they change this.

Ok, I tried a bunch of them now and I think the only one which allows you to reply back from the watch directly is the SMS Go pro. It allows you to select reply and opens voice to compose txt and sends it, all on the Moto360. The others send you the notification to the watch, but then give you an option to open it on the phone to reply.

I just got my 360 on the 23rd. I noticed I get notifications for messaging but can't see them. I guess I need to change the app I use if I want to see them? Should I be concerned about privacy on any of these random apps?

[ROOT] Enable Notification LED

Hey,
There have been a lot of threads that let you activate the LED on the Moto G4 but none of them allow you to use it as a notification light.
Here is an app called "Moto Led Enabler" - Download(PlayStore)
The usage is pretty simple and straight forward-
1. Install the app and open it.
2. Grant the root permissions.
3. Grant the notification access from withing the app.
4. Select the applications for which you want to be notified.
Note:
1. The intensity slider doesn't work so the LED would glow at a constant intensity.
2. The app needs to be in memory in order to work so if you restart the device open the application once so that it can run in the background.

All other apps including the one you gave the link to will only work for charging and power purposes only. They don't provide you the facility of having app specific notifications.
This thread focuses on using the LED as a notification LED instead of a charging LED.
-----Update-----
This app makes the LED actually useful instead of making it glow only when the power is connected

The app by default automatically selects any newly installed application, I haven't faced this problem so can't say. Did you by any means clear the app data or something??

You're welcome. You can try contacting the app developer, maybe he can fix it.

I bought a G4 a few days ago without knowing that some phones like this have done away with the "must-have" notification LED that I depend on so much. I've only had this app installed for a few hours (and have had the G4 and Android N for not much longer), so I may not have discovered some quirks yet, but it does work. I don't understand why Play Store reviews are so poor, but I assume it's because a lot of people are unrooted (root requirement should have been mentioned by dev in the description even though it's pretty obvious, but whatever). Anyway, thanks for sharing, OP. I'm still kind of in shock that an app is needed to have a notification light on this phone, but since it is, this app is a godsend.

its not blinking.. the light is on constantly till the notification is cleared..

LightFlow works great. I put up these directions a few days ago..

Ads after every call?

I've been getting a small pop-up add, usually from Microsoft, after every call I make. Anyone else getting them or know how to stop them?

Do you have any Microsoft related apps installed on your phone?

think about what apps youve installed in the past
go through them one by one and figure it out

You're right, it was a Microsoft app, Outlook. It's strange though, I had it installed on my Oneplus One and I never got the adds. Maybe it was the latest update or something.
Edit: The ads came back after uninstalling Outlook.

Its not apps. Its a website you visited that's spamming you. Clear your history and cookies all that good stuff and it should get rid of the problem.

I had the same issue and this is what I was told

That's how I solved this issue on my LG V20 running Nougat:
Go to:
Settings / General / Google Services / Ads / Opt out of Ads Personalization
