[Q] Facebook push notifications - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i notice that there is no push notifications on facebook app. We will have to wait for the 30 mins refresh interval. Or is there any immediate notification??
btw im on gingerbread.

i notice twitter is also the same. anyone else has the same problem and managed to solve it?

For Facebook, get a third party app from the market called Friendcaster.
There's a free version with ads, but if you're rooted and have adfree installed, this may not be a problem.
There's a paid version too with no ads and more features if you're feeling flush.....

Well I think facebook was working on 2.3.3 for me it worked before the update anyway and I know twitter certainly was (i'm kinda addicted hehe) but I think there might have been a bug with twitter because it took a good 2/3 days before push notifications started coming through properly for me.

If you have set any refresh interval, you will not get Push Notifications.
If you set the interval to Never and check the boxes with the things you want to be notified about (Messages, Request, etc)
you'll get notifications almost instantly!

[Q]+[Poll] Android :: Repeat Notifications ::

Hi all,
There doesn't seem to be an option to switch off repeat notifications. Whenever I receive an email and I don't read it immediately, I'll get a repeat notification sound every 5 minutes or so until I acknowledge the email in some way.
I have looked to no avail, so am hoping that someone can point out where this option is. I have set up quiet time from 10PM - 7AM, but this isn't helping outside these quiet hours.
Hope you can help.
Thanks..
I think its a gmail bug. Except for me I get the messages report in winmo. Even if I delete them they come back. Fu!$&ng annoying. Even though I don't use winmo, I still see them if I have to do a restart or something
I've never bad this problem at all...

I'm using an app called Improved Email. Not syncing to Gmail, but internal mail app grabs corporate exchange, improved mail to another exchange server and also a hotmail account. Still don't see an option to disable the repeat notifications..
Are you having this problem with Gmail, or a different mail app? Because there are a few bugs ive noticed with the Gmail app like mattfmartin said. Sometimes I wont receive an email in WM but the moment i boot up into Android i start getting notifications from old & new emails.

Hi, I don't use gmail at all. I don't have a problem receiving email either, its just that when I do receive emails the notification sounds keep sounding every 5 minutes until I go into the mail application and read them which I don't often have time to do so the repeat notification sounds become quite annoying after 15 minutes or so, especially at work where they annoy other work colleagues as well.
my phone beeps one time, then the orange light stays on until i check it..
this must be build specific.. perhaps post in the build thread.
I dont use gmail either. And I get the notification repeats for everything. It's especially annoying for voicemail, and it doesnt matter if I have new voicemail or not, I check all the messages and then the notification comes back 5-10 minutes later, then I check again and there are no new messages... It's just annoying really though, not that big of a deal...

In the facebook application, hit Menu -> Settings -> and look in Notification settings.
It should say "Notifications: Active" hit the checkbox next to it to turn it off
He's talking about the messenger app, not the facebook app itself.
So far as I know there is no way to turn off the notifications in the messenger app itself. I might make more sense to just uninstall it seeing as the normal facebook app lets you use chat when you want to anyway.
No I'm talking about just the Facebook App lol in it u can disable all the notifications individually besides the messaging one

Yeah, I'm having the same issue with the Facebook app for Android. It seems that you are only allowed to disable message notifications for a certain amount of time before it automatically re-enables itself. Pretty annoying, especially since I am using a messenger-aggregator app that gives me notifications for Facebook messages too. Any help would be really appreciated
So any option to disable chat notification forever? I only get them de-activated for 8 hours every time
hi we are just talking about facebook message notifications not all notifications, im looking for this one also....
is really stupid that you cant disable this.... what is the use of disable this for 8hours???
And you don't want to just get rid of the app?

It seems like any other notification can be disabled permanently but the messages one. Very stupid and extremely annoying indeed!

This works for me. I hate the msg app as well but like other notifications. Did this for each person I talk to. And it stays off perm after doing this for each user.

I'm having the same problem. I don't want to uninstall the app, or turn off all notifications, because I'd like to still get notifications on wall posts and comments.
As others have stated, I also use a messenger that puts gtalk and facebook together, and it's just annoying to receive double notifications for facebook messages.
It seems people are misunderstanding what is being asked.
Facebook has a great deal many different features and gives notifications for each individually. Notifications of new posts are separate from notifications of new comments are separate from notifications of new messages etc.
We all want to get Facebook notifications *except* for messages. We want to be notified when a friend posts to their wall or comments on a post we are involved in. We do not want to be notified when some one messages on Facebook... or rather... do not want to be notified twice.
Both the Facebook app and the Facebook messenger app will not let you turn message notifications off. You can turn every other notification off individually or you can turn off all notifications completely... but when you disable just the one for messages in either app it tells you when it's going to turn it back on. We want it off permanently without losing our other notifications.

[Q] email notifications

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps/utils that notify you of new emails (without actually checking email directly on the phone). What I mean is, an app that I guess checks it in the background or whatever, then pops up letting you know you have mail "to check". When I had my "other phone" there was an app called Ultimate Notifier that did this - I didn't have to check my email constantly, and I'd only get notifications that I had email "to check" when I did.
I've found a few apps in the market, but none seem to either work at all, or even do what I'm wanting to do. I know it's not an issue to check email every hour or whatever, but sometimes I prefer to just be notified that I have an email, and if I decide to check it, I check it, if not I don't, at least I was notified anyhow.
Hopefully there's "an app" for that, lol. It's the only thing I miss coming from my "old phone" If it matters, I'm using AquaMail, and the few that I have found are for K9 mail (and haven't been updated in years).
Thanks.

I'm confused. All email I thought had this built in. I use Gmail, Yahoo (through built in email app) and Outlook through touchdown. Gmail and outlook are push so every time I get an email I can have it notify me. Yahoo checks every 1/2 hour and notifies me if I have a new email.
why would you need an external app unless you don't have nay kind of setting to auto update mail or push?

Because I don't have it set to update. I generally do, but wanted to have it the way I had it with my other device. It'd just notify that I *had* an email (it wouldn't pull it or anything), and I could choose to check it or not check it. I know it seems silly, but it's just the way I preferred it I suppose.

OK not sure if you do this to save battery life or whatever but if so it would not make sense since the other app would be reaching out (push) to see if there was any email. So it would be a wash one vs the other.

A bit of battery saving. I'm not sure how the app I was using with my other device worked (It was called Ultimate Notifier), but their system checked my email server(s) to see if I had messages, if I did, it'd just send me a push notification - I wasn't "polling" any email servers on my end.

Umm...Ultimate Notifier was made at a time when Push email didn't exist outside of using MobileMe. It was made useless when Apple allowed Push mail with Gmail and POP3 boxes. What you were, in essence, doing is polling the Ultimate Notifier server in the same way that phones today poll Gmail (or other boxes). It used no less battery. In fact, if you know how Push notifications work it doesn't matter if you have 1 service (in your case Ultimate Notifier) or 10 services, you're not using any more battery. The only thing using the battery is downloading the emails, which probably accounts for about 10 minutes of battery a day.
In essence, there's no need for an app like that when every email app can do it natively. It uses the same amount of battery. If you liked how it looked and such...that can probably be done with a few other apps (different email apps or notification apps).

Push Notification problems SOLVED

Hi all,
On my PLK-AL10 push notifications don't work properly.
I have all the right settings applied and automatic app sync set as well.
Only if an app is open in the background I receive notifications, when apps are closed nothing.
When I deselect auto data app sync in settings/accounts/menu all apps sync and provide push notifications for just a few minutes, but after that no push again (looks to be after sleep).
Tried several push fixers from apps store (root and non-root) PNF, Push Notification Status, Push Notification Assistant and Heartbeat Fixer for GCM.
Have the heartbeat set at minimum (wifi 1 min, mobile data 2 min).
Have had this problem from the start on B150/160 and B173 stock and rooted.
Anybody with a solution for this?
Solved, see #6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63259332&postcount=6
I have the same problem. For example, Whatsapp messages do not arrive at all times if I did not open the program. (PLK-L01)
I have no problem with the push notifications on WhatsApp or other apps. Just to confirm I have set them as Protected Apps, and also in Power Saving I have it set to highest, which is Performance, and I have the Do Not Disturb set to Off. I do also have a smartwatch, Sony Smartwatch 3, and notifications are perfect - but then maybe Smartwatch is keeping phone alive for notifications. Battery life is still great though with all of these Settings including Bluetooth always on.

Also protected apps and power saving set at performance, even keeping Wifi alive during sleep.
It just releases the auto update
After hours of search finally found a solution.
I don't know if I missed it earlier but i installed Quick Sync Settings from the Play Store.
In the app the Google account gives several sync option.
Turning on App-data sync solved the problem.
I did not see (at least i think i didn't ) this option earlier in the Settings/accounts/Google
Now Whatsapp push notifications work with the app closed.
Hi
Unfortunately this does not fix the exact same issue for me. If the apps are not launched in background I get no lockscreen notifications. I've been in all the settings numerous times, everything is set up correctly (magazine theme, protected apps, network apps, sync otpions, power options, etc.)
This is very frustrating. Even thinking of selling the phone because of this.

As I am the OP and it solved my problem it is solved, your problem might me entirely different, with different settings, apps, network, carrier etc.
It takes time to find the right solution for you, you can also try to uninstall your google account altogether as that takes 1 set out of the equation.

You're right. In a way... the thing is that the problem seems to be the same for all of us. And you're right that we use different settings/apps/etc so tons of things may interfere.
For me this seems to have solved the issue:
"For those who facing notification delay issue for Honor 3C/ Ascend P7 please try these:
1.) Settings> Power Saving> Protected apps> put a "tick" for the apps that you want to keep running after the screen is turned off
2.) Settings> Notification Manager> Choose "Notify" for the apps you want to receive push message to the notifications panel"
Post #6 worked for me but it's not at all stable for (facebook) Messenger app. It seems to be a lottery whether it works at all. Sometimes the sound notification works and sometimes it doesn't. For now I have to leave it running in the background visible in recent apps even though I turned Messenger on under 'Protected apps' with all auto sync settings on.

After further testing this does seem to work for my honor 7 as well but only when Power saving mode is on Performance.
If you go into Phone manager > Power Saving > Power-Intensive Apps you can see what apps are running hidden in the background.
If I put Battery performance on Smart notifications still work for Whatsapp but infrequently or not at all for other apps.
It seems one has to have extensive knowledge in the phones settings and have everything set up correctly, when it should just work off the bat. I really hope it is fixed in the next update.

Some test results sending whatsapp,messenger and skype messages from my iphone.
Settings:
Wifi: On
Auto-Sync*: Off
Whatsapp: Protected app ON & Notifications ON
Messenger: Protected app ON & Notifications ON
Skype: Protected app ON & Notifications ON (with new 'instant messages' setting enabled inside skype)
Restart phone with Smart Power Saving Mode Enabled:
Whatsapp as a protected app with sync off
Notification WORKS
Messenger NOTHING**
Skype WORKS
Restart phone in Performance Power Saving Mode:
Whatsapp WORKS
Messenger WORKS
Skype WORKS
*I like this to be off by default and in theory shouldn't be on for push notifications to work.
** Occasionally works but more often than not delayed or no messages come through. Is this the App creators fault or Honor 7 stock ROM?
Something I have just noticed on why Messenger sometimes doesn't work for me:
When I'm on the road I often enable Power Saving mode to Ultra. Whatsapp remains running in the background in this mode. Messenger is killed. Then when I exit Ultra to Smart or Performance Messenger needs to be restarted for notifications to work again. It doesn't always stay on either and have to restart the whole phone.
Skype is an odd one. It never says it's running under Power-Intensive Apps checker in the Phone Manager. Yet notifications come through
Further testing:
If I clear all recent apps by swiping bottom of screen to top , the app -protected ones will keep running silently in the background waiting for push notifications. (i can see which ones are still running in the background under Phone Manager > Battery Power Saving > Power-Intensive apps )
Now if I close the apps individually (viber, whatsapp, messenger etc) they are no longer kept running in the background despite being enabled as protected apps. So I may lock my phone, without knowing this and no push notifications will come through.
BUT if I re-open one of my protected apps the other ones will re-run in the background for push. Very strange behavior!
Gosh this push notification stuff is complicated. I'm just going to go back to my iphone 4 if this doesn't get fixed as I've come to expect this kind of stuff to just work without any fiddling!
To permanently fix this you need to root an move the apps from the Data/app to Sytem/app
They will be started as services instead of apps

How did you move them?
used Root Browser
Just move the whole app folder out of Data/App
I can corfim that moving apps you want notifications from to /system/app will work.

It didn't work for me I've already app-data on google account and even download quick syn setting solved the problem.
When I move whatsapp or messenger to system/app they don't work. Messenger crashes on launch and whasapp displays a message saying it needs to be installed again :crying:
ANyone able to confirm if they have got either working under system/app or system/priv-app

Honor 9 notifications working properly?

Hi, I'm just wondering since huawei phones often have notification problems for e.g never getting notifications from third party apps (WhatsApp, Instagram) does the huawei honor 9 receive all notifications from third parry apps or do u have to go into settings to get notifications or do u not get them at all cause my honor 8 never receives notifications.

I have big notification problems. Gmail notification are coming late, but even worse, WhatsApp notifications are only coming when I open the app. Strangely, WhatsApp has been working fine for the first couple of days, but now it's a nightmare. I have followed every guide for improving the notifications, but to no avail.

I had to go to
settings -> Apps -> settings (at the bottom) -> Special Access -> Ignore Optimisations -> All Apps
and then manually select each app I wanted to allow notifications for. Before that got almost nothing from any app except phone and messages. Since then I haven't had any problems

That was one of the first things I did. Still WhatsApp is refusing to notify my in time. And by the way, you can't select Gmail because it is not listed in All Apps.

No problem with notification..all working fine
I'm bringing up this thread because I'm having problems with my Honor 9 not showing Telegram notifications unless I open the app. It doesn't *always* happen, but it's very annoying nonetheless.
I'm not having this problem with any other app.
I've tried whitelisting telegram for battery optimization, but to no avail.
Is anyone else having this same issue or knows how to solve it?
I'm not using telegram.
For my others notifications are working fine but not the LED notification for some apps.
I suspect it's because the default color choosen by defaultfor se apps is just not working with honor9's.
Hi there,
can anyone confirm if Telegram notifications work please?
