It seems like I have to manually sync both gmail and calendars. Is any one else experiencing this?
Running latest update with launcher pro and rooted
i had the same problem, but dont quite remember solution, had to enable background data, and clear the cache on the gmail, thats all i can remember for now
i had this issue, when i accidentally disabled sync in the power control widget, then removed the widget. added the widget back, turned sync back on, removed the widget again.
I'll give that a shot.

Thanks so much! I was going through the exact same problem and going crazy!! Then I read your post and realized I played with (and uninstalled) SuperPower control widget yesterday also ... same deal, I guess I messed with the settings and somehow disabled syncing .. I now re-installed, turned syncing back on and removed program.. whew!!
I use the default android widget and turn on the sync option(the one with two arrow), it works for me.
Try it again by sending a email to yourself. See if it syncs
How do you clear the cache on Gmail? I have a bug where it still shows a mail count and deleting the message doesn't delete from my account so I have to use the web interface to actually delete messages. Hoping this would help?!

I've been racking my mind for 4 days now! Thanks sooo much for jogging my memory!
Hey Everyone,
I'm having the same issue with Gmail not syncing properly.
w/ Bell Mobility, rooted
The syncing icon is persistent in the status bar and nothing is happening. In the gmail app itself I will get proper unread message counts but the messages will not display. I have had to change my google password twice because it's getting "suspicious activity". I'm assuming this is being caused by the app. Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago.
I've tried clearing the cache and it will load it fine, once. After that same issue. I'm going to try clearing the cache and reinstalling the app to see if that makes a difference.
I've also tried disabling/enabled auto-sync and it hasn't made a difference either.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
UPDATE:
-- removed gmail updates from the market **No change**
-- it's still retrieving new e-mails but the sync icon in the status bar stays the same.. I have no idea what's going on now.
I am using the latest facebook app on my wm 6.5 rom. I noticed today that I am not receiving any updates. I can still post updates but cant see them. Is anybody else having the same issue
Also after a wipe it is no longer allowing me to pull through my facebook contacts. This is random. As far as I can tell I dont have secure browsing enabled on my facebook account.
Have you activated auto login?
If yes, try to logout and to login again.
Done a full wipe and started from scratch. No luck

try to disable https on facebook
edit: oh, nevermind, i see you have it disabled.
Its very odd. It is just the News feed and Status updates and the download of facebook pics on the contacts. I can go and update my status and everything else! It is driving me nuts!
It was fine last night. Haven't made any changes just started happenng today
EDIT: I can now get facebook pics downloaded on my contacts but still no status updates!! Must be an issue with FB.
EDIT2: Tried XDA facebook and cant get updates either. Everything else seems to be working!
Working this morning. Must have been an issue with FB yesterday! I simply hit refresh and all my news updates came through! Random!
I'm sorry if this might be a repeated thread but I just couldn't find the solution to this problem after going through number of posts here.
So the problem with my Neo is I am not able to get push notifications for my facebook wall or when someone likes my comment. Though I'm able to get notification for friend's request and private messages. I just can get my Wall notification. I've made sure that it is enabled in the settings panel of facebook android app. I've tried logging into my facebook account using blackberry that has worked for many but didn't seem to be working for me.
So is there any other way out.
And yes I've also tried deactivating and then reactivating my account, still no success.
please help
thanks

Go to account settings->notifications and check your notifications settings.

facebook push notification fix WORK!!
@all
Finally I was able to get facebook push notification by logging on to my facebook though a blackberry mobile.
This is what I did
1. In my android phone, went to settings-manage application-facebook and clear cache and clear data.
2. Unistalled the update of facebook app
3. In settings go to accounts and remove your facebook account.
4. Login to my account using a blackberry phone and made sure notifications are turned on
5. Using my friends facebook account, I posted something on my wall and got instant notification on blackberry phone.
6. Logged out from blackberry phone.
7. Then on my android phone before opening the app updated my facebook app to latest version using the market.
8. Logged in my account and push notification worked this time.
Hope it helps!
Thanks
For awhile, my Facebook push notifications were working just fine until I had updated to Jelly Bean. I tried everything.. to clearing cache, data, uninstalling, and even the BlackBerry trick again (worked once before) and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they weren't working anymore. I thought maybe it was Facebook clashing with JB. I read everywhere and found out some people had no issues and some had some where every push notifications didn't work and some just Facebook.
Well I spend a day or so trying to figure it out and finally found a new, simple fix.
1) Open the Facebook app.
2) Tap on menu button on the top left
3) Account > Account Settings
4) Apps and Websites
5) Clear out Facebook related apps (Like Friendcaster or HTC Sense)
6) Clear data on the Facebook app and launch app
I noticed some off the apps in there have a push notification toggle button and I believe it was messing up the push notification system of there was to many to keep up with.
Once I spent 20 mins clearing those apps out, I cleared data and started the app notifications started working again. I didn't know it worked until someone wrote on my wall and I was shocked to see a notification!
I really hope this helps some of you out who have gave up looking for another fix.
If you're still not getting notifications, I'm sorry =(

Facebook, Twitter, Google+, push notifications aren't working in any of these apps. So annoying. I even tried re-installing the ROM and apps, but to no avail

Clear all those apps in that Facebook apps list.
[ NEXUS⁴ / VANILLA ROOTBOX / APEX PRO / TAPATALK ]
Yeah, done that. Doesn't help
Sounds like all your notifications are broke. This is a fix just for Facebook while others are working.

After a whole day of looking around, here's the solution: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120318142032AA1GpzE (quote below). As a step-by-step:
1. log out of your Android Facebook app
2. clear app data
3. go to facebook on a PC and then account settings → security settings → active sessions and end all of them. (not sure if that's necessary, but it wouldn't hurt)
4. Log out
5. Now log in on the Android app and enjoy push notifications.
If you are logged into Facebook on a computer or other device, then your android phone won't sync, one way is to hit the social network widget and tap view all updates, then click on the refresh button, that is what I have to do to fix mine if I am logged into the computer, or you can just log out of facebook when you are wanting to use the phone.
This was caused by the latest update from Facebook's Mobile App, and unfortunately it affects not only facebook, but also twitter on the social network widget.

I have just tried this, along with uninstalling Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Friendcaster. They used to work perfectly. Now, they don't. I ess running the stock TouchWiz but now I'm on CM10. Could that be the problem? I will select the C2DM in Friendcaster, go through the process of entering my email and password, then nothing. It used to say that the registration was successful. Now it doesn't. I will then exit out of everything then go back in to check and the selection will be back to periodic polling.
it worked! Thank you very much!
Actually Solved
I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn't work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.
Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam.... Notifications I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but once you use an app and connect with Facebook everything will be there again. Worked with Cydia and all my paid apps were in my account again!
Hope this works for everyone to get their notifications back!!

If the problem is caused by an app, yes, it would. But for many that's not the root of the issue, so it's not correct to say it has nothing to do with… Anyway, thanks for contributing with a new solution.

No probs, but I have read through so many forums all having the Same problems and people always giving the same answers, restoring whole fone, getting new fone, updating software, clearing caches, reinstalling the app blah blah blah and the solution I have found fixed mine and many other devices, friends and other forums. So generally it's an app that they have connected to fb that has conflicted with notifications. Instead of going through 1 by one which I tried and everything else, turning off all then starting from scratch completely restored mine and brought it back to normal!

Hi
Found a solution that worked for me so thought I'd share here.
I was using FB 1.9.1 from an old Titanium Backup I kept on my Sgs1 and after setting up Zeam launcher and disabling some system and memory hogs like Google Play Svcs I thought I'd give the newer FB app a go.
Sure enough I stopped getting push notifications.
However rest of notifications on phone kept working, email, gtalk etc.
Then it occurred to me the push notification system might prefer to send notifications to the device rather than the account.
By which I mean every android device had an Android ID supposedly linked to the physical device itself.
I thought of this after noticing that whenever my phone should be popping up a notification that I just sent to mu account from another GB accpunt, namely a chat message, OS monitor would always show a peak of activity before relaxing again and nothing actually happening.
The rush was already happening when notifications were still working.
(I had previously used the newer fB app before and did get notifications to work.)
So i had a close look at Titanium Backup Account settings, and my Google Play store settings, and found out both were *not* using the *main* Google account my phone is linked to.
After which I set both G Mkt and Tit bkp to the right main Google account and immediately after, I updated FB app through G Market.
Hey presto, notifications came back!

I tried as you directed. Works perfect now!
cleared every app on the Facebook account I own. All notifications are working for the Facebook app.
I also used Push Notification fixer for root(there's a non root version too)

This Worked For Me
I am assuming that anyone with this problem has at one point rooted and installed Blackmart, AdBlock, AdAway or Freedom. If not this may not work for you.
I installed Root Commander then went into \System\etc and deleted the hosts file. Using lucky patcher I cleared dalvik cache and rebooted. Then I factory reset my phone and VOILA all push notifications are now working after nearly 4 months. I hope you get your phones working without having to flash your ROM.

I had the same problem, i could not receive the push notification on my nexus 4 and also on my ipad and i think i finally figured out how to correct that. took a minute. log in on a desktop browser check your email notifications: It needs to be at least "important notifications". After that you should be able to open the app and select what kind of push notifications to receive. i am sure that will not help everyone as there are different things that can block push notification but it's still something to look into.
My cat walked over the phone and messed up facebook badly.
The messenger icon dissappeared, if I uninstall messenger I will never be notified of new messages.
The tab bar moved to the bottom of the app.
a new row with "What's your story" appeared, I want it gone.
check screenshot here. http://puu.sh/u85JN/479cae29eb.png
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7, Facebook is hardwired into my android, I can only disable it, no reinstalling.
I have tried disabling facebook and then installed the latest update again, no change.
what can I do other than a total reinstall of the phone?

This is the wrong forum for this, but if you go into your "apps" and find Facebook, click on "storage" and clear Data and cashe, it should reset it. You'll have to log in again, but all settings should now be default.
I'm sure the messenger icon is now in the app drawer, instead of on a home screen. Check there to see if you find it, if you do, then long press it and move it to where you want it on your homescreen.
Thank you for the reply, and sorry for being in the wrong forum.
The app fixed itself after fiddling around in the about section in the appsettings. I abolish random behaviour.
