OK, this is my third android phone, and this is the first time ive had this happen. I use Foursquare and Word Feud just for two apps. i am not getting notifications to my rooted phone. Is this just because ICS is new, or is there something else im gonna need to do. It just seams silly to me that it worked on my HTC EVO 3D, and not on my HTC EVO LTE.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure what's going on - is it just those two apps, or do all apps (like messaging, facebook, email/gmail) not give you notifications?
Gmail, comes through at times. i would say all..

Well ive got the issue resloved..
I found that it was my error, I had a backup that was forcing a older file. Thanks for your two guys help.

At first i thought it was just swype, since that always acts up. Ever since I've had the phone anytime a picture is present in an sms thread, it makes the app go bonkers. It either freezes up, the keyboard flashes at epilepsy inducing speeds or the "soft" menu buttons that pop up flash as well.
I could normally make the problem go away by deleting the picture/media out of the thread manually by selection. Now it does it sometimes without any media being present. Basically if a picture is present, it either refuses to let me type or does so at turtle speeds.
I emailed HTC days after receiving the phone, but the help ticket went down the road of them trying to help me with my frustration of not being able to download .mpo files through the native gmail app, only preview.
I also took it to the sprint store where of course the phone magically started functioning properly when I tried recreating the problem for the tech (yay?), it only took a few tries to recreate the glitch, where she just did a wipe of the phone (don't remember if she did it through the recovery mode or "regular" wipe). But I shouldn't have to wipe my phone every time the stock messaging app starts acting up.
Ill try to get video of it happening tomorrow, it's 3:30am right now... Kinda late to be borrowing anyones phone for such things
Tl:dr stock messaging app acts wonky when media is present in thread
Is anyone else having this issue?
I think no one here uses stock sms app anymore. Gosms and Handcent are great replacements. Plus on gosms you can text from anyscreen, if your in the browser, your sms will pop up and you can reply from their without switching apps. Its very useful, give it a try.

I use the stock SMS app. I like having the integration the stock SMS app has with the home screen and address book. Anyway I haven't had any of those issues the OP is having with the stock sms app. If it happens again try clearing the data for the sms app, that won't clear out your text messages.
Just tried it, data was only about 864kb anyway, problem persists. I dont have a ton of threads/messages in there clogging it up.
And I know about chomp and handcent, ive used them both. I honestly do like a lot of stock apps though, it's not from ignorance... I had a cm7 evo 4g.

I use stock without issue as well. I prefer it now over those apps. For popups I just use SMS Pop-up from the market. Problem solved.
Are We Not Phones?
We Are D3VO!
Are we not phones?!
3.DeE.V.O.!!
i too use the stock app. No issues at all here.
Im wondering if I should temp root and backup all my crap. Dont feel like individually downloading all these apps again if I take it to the store and all they do is wipe it again... If it comes to that and the issue persists, hopefully they swap it out.
My just puts all kinds of weird times on the messages like it'll be 1pm but the time stamp will be 6

Same here. And I'm not roaming. And also if I reply within the same minute the text came in my text goes above theirs in the thread, so it looks like I'm replying before they even send the text which obviously isn't the case... But regardless, I do love the stock app.
Just tried this it works. Basically log into Facebook on a Blackberry and get push notifications. I know we all hate Facebook works on android but if you want a notification instantly when someone contacts you, try this.

You should change it to "making facebook notifications work" I did that yesterday I though it was interested and for some reason so far is working, even tho i have been getting most of my notifications on my evo 3d already
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

Np man, my friend went to the sprint store to do it in a store demo and it worked lol

I read about this and thought about trying it. It's always annoyed me that I never got any facebook notifications, because I thought I was supposed to...ya know?
...but the more I thought about it the more I realised how irritating it would be to actually get all of my facebook notifications in my notification bar...and how much more annoying it would be to have a notification sound to go with it....and I don't even have a huge friend list...
Even though notifications was a huge problem with fb app, its still not that useful of an app compared to like bb or ios versions. Ive found friendcaster works way better nd always shows notifications and takes u directly to the appropriate place in the app. It does forward u to the touch or mobile site for a few things here nd there but overall way ahead of official app!

I like friendcaster a bit better than the standard app as well. Still, it could be much better.
Haha...this is funny because I posted these exact same findings on another Android site (the "Central" one) last Friday, August 5th and by Sunday the mods had tested it, put up a video, shot it to the front page and made a Sticky of it in the Applications forum. I can tell you that it works. Facebook for Android basically piggy backs on the Blackberry for Android permissions. There's approximately about 95% functionality with this. One of the things that doesn't work correctly for example are Poke notifications. You get the push notification but when you click on that particular one nothing happens. It's a very minor issue in my book.
What is this Facebook?
Don't worry guys, After Nov 5 Facebook is no more.

My recent phone history: BB Curve>BB Tour>HTC Hero>HTC EVO 4G>Samsung Epic>HTC EVO3D
I just checked and I still have the BB permissions on my FB Account Setting and I'm not getting push notifications.
I will try to sign in on a BB when I get access to one because I remember getting push notifications on my Hero when I had it, which was directly after I had the Tour.
I don't know if this is phone or app related but push notifications rarely work. The only app that seems to be working is MSNBC,
Facebook no notification of new messages etc
Twitter no notifications of mentions, PM's etc
Google+ Notifications only when you open the app
Anyone else have these issues? As I say the news ones like MSNBC,CNN seem to work fine the social networking ones don't and they did all work fine on my Desire S, Infact Google+ used to be a right torture

try clearing the cache and data of the apps in settings applications and see what happens
Mate I'm the same. I've cleared cache etc. but it never does anything. I'm running XXKI4 rooted with cf root then with stock kernel just to remove the yellow triangle. Gmail never sends push, I have to manually refresh, twitter never send notifications, market never does update notifications, even the ones set for auto, the only one that works is facebook. This one works flawlessly for me. I kind of got used to manually checking, but wish I didn't as coming from iphone, as bad as the notifications were, at least I got them!!

I'd agree with this, I never had an issue with push on the iPhone and on the news apps I got alot more, MSNBC you could of got 3-4 a day, same with CNN, On the SGS2 I get maybe 1 every other day and with the pull down menu being black and the writing of the push being black you can't read it anyway so all rather pointless.

same here bro..stupid question have you tried unistalling the app and installing it again? the one that you want to get notifications for? i know stupid idea but might help
Push for Facebook hasn't worked for me on any rom i've tried yet. CM7 KI8 and a few others. Only app that works flawlessly is FotMob a soccer scores app.

Yeah tried it to no avail
1. You need to enable background data
2. You need to enable auto-sync
(both in settings -- accounts)
3. If your use juice defender, it turns off wifi and data when the screen goes off. So unless you set up a schedule or rule you won't get push.
4. If you use a task killer, when the app is killed you won't get push
5. With Android you don't get true push (its an Apple thing). The true equivalent push are apps that use autosync (ie google apps and twitter). The other apps even facebook simply run in the background and it transmits background data directly. This is less efficient than push but it does get the job done.
So ever since I first rooted my phone I havent been receiving google+ notifications. When I was running stock, I got them just fine. Now I am running UnNamed and I dont get them. Ive put up with it for weeks now but Its really annoying and ive been searching everywhere for a fix. Anyone else have this problem?

rooting by itself has no bearing on any application data. i really have a desire to get this drilled into people's brains.
ROM and ROOT are 2 completely different things. everyone says, 'ever since i rooted.....' but actually they rooted THEN flashed a ROM....and they want to blame the act of rooting to be the cause of the problem..... i apologize, but its a pet peeve of mine that so many people have no effing clue what rooting actually is.
after you flashed the rom, did you go into your accounts section and verify that G+ is set to sync? by default it is off
Well im glad you got that rant out of your system. I never once thought that rooting it caused my notifications to stop. I was simply stating that they worked before, and now they dont.
Ok, when i first got the phone i didnt have sync on either and i still got the notifications. I just enabled it and had a friend send me a notification and still no luck.
Update: I have no idea why this was happening but i manually synced my google account again and now the notifications are working. this is really odd but im not complaining
if anyone else has this problem, try what i did
Update 2: so another thing it could be. i had the gmail app frozen with TB because i was tired of getting duplicate email notifications and now that i did the re sync, it unfroze the app. could be something there

like i said, its a pet peeve. when someone starts off by saying, it was working before i rooted....it indicates that they think the root somehow caused <insert random problem here>, or are just trying to somehow link the 2 items....this is because so many people have no idea what root actually consists of and what it does. they just think its the cool thing to do....
if you freeze gmail, im pretty sure a lot of stuff would stop working properly that ties directly to your gmail account.
Hey all,
I'm having a problem with messaging apps not pulling contact photos and occasionally names tied to phone numbers for threads. I originally had this problem with GOSMS, then after toying with it for a while without any luck, I switched back to Handcent and have the same issue.
All contact photos and names pull to the stock messaging app. Handcent and GO both will pull photos that have been manually set, but not those from Twitter/Facebook/ect. Message threads will also occasionally appear as only the phone number until the phone is restarted. The phone is not rooted and occurs both in Sense and GoLauncher.
Kind of a strange issue. I had my fingers crossed that someone else had a similar issue but I couldn't find a related thread-- please link if I missed it. Thanks.
Here you go. Must be rooted for this app to work

Thank you! Is there a certain reason I've got to do the work around for this phone when it worked on the original EVO 4G?
I believe lots of people have been having problems with other messaging programs. I've had the same issues that you've had.

Facebook and google are pissed at each.other so we suffer. Facebook pulls.data from google but doesn't like to share their data, so google and Facebook started blocking.each other in little ways.
Either way we as consumers suffer
