Not able to set up notification ringtone for twitter - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello I am new here.
I was able to set up custom notifications for all the apps as soon as the msg comes(eg facebook etc)
However, when doing the same for twitter, it does not let me do it. I go into settings and the notification and selecting ringtone section is greyed out. Therefore, I am not able to get push notifications for twitter. I have to go manually into twitter and see if there have been any new messages or tweets directed to me.
I will really appreciate if someone will help me with this.
Thanks...!

Not much use to ya but i've just started having this problem on my SGS3.. no twitter notifications (was working fine last week) now i get nothing and the options are grayed out! :/ if i find a solution i'll get back to you!

Perhaps try a new Twitter app. I really like Uber Social myself. It has a fantastic widget. Not sure if it supports custom tones. Try different things and let us know.

A bit more information is needed ....
What rom ?
Are you using TW social hub features ? Or stand alone twitter ?
If stand alone application ....then pm the app developer directly for bug report.....IMHO
Either way ....a different app may help you ....
Good luck ....g

Sussed it out. The twitter app doesnt do notifcations unless you have android sync enabled. Once i enabled this (on my phone its the "Sync" button in the notifcation area) the options are ungrayed and i can get notifications again

Greenmoose got it !!
thank you....g

Handcent and Go SMS

Just got my Photon yesterday afternoon. Woot!
Having a couple issues with Handcent and Go SMS (trying them both out).
Handcent: Background images, in both the list and conversations, is very distorted.
Go SMS: Background image is SLIGHTLTY blurring (could just be me though) but main issue is contact pictures won't show, in list or conversation. They show fine in Handcent.
Any of you having similar issues. I haven't tried a reinstall of each. I kinda thought it was just an app thing and the dev's haven't updated them for the photon yet.
Thanks.
are you using facebook for your pictures? If so if im not mistaken facebook does not allow other apps to use the pictures. use syncmypix to sync the facebook pics to your gmail account and that should take care of it.

Thanks for mentioning that app. Exactly what I've been looking for.
I am using Facebook but my contact pics appear fine. They show up in my Contacts app, GMail and Handcent just not in Go SMS.
Handcent: Background images, in both the list and conversations, is very distorted.
Try going to Handcent settings -> Notification settings -> Popup settings -> scroll down to "blur background" and check or uncheck as appropriate.
Seriously?
kimmied, you are an idiot. The problem is BACKGROUND and CONVERSATION list images. How is changing the POPUP settings going to fix the problem?
people astonish me.

As the OP said. I don't know if this is a specific problem to the Motorola Photon, or not. I just got mine a couple weeks ago. But I am having the same problem. For right now, I've just been having to use a theme, and the backgrounds for those are fine. But when I try to set my own picture as the conversation list background, they are blurry and distorted. I've tried several different pictures, all HD. For me it's JUST the conversation list background. The background on the chat is fine. I have been trying to be patient and wait for a Handcent update and one was released a few days ago, but still no fix =[

I use GO SMS and love it. I especially like the pop-up SMS feature.

hey galaxy_s.. what astonishes me is how people pounce on someone else's mistake and try to use it to somehow prove how intelligent they are.. why didn't you offer up a solution? i don't see the point of taking the time to post when you aren't going to add anything to the discussion.. that thanks meter of yours will probably say 0 until you learn to quit acting like a child..
as far as the topic goes, I have learned over time that android handles images very inconsistently.. try using quickpic or something when you crop the picture you are using for the background.. i could be way off with that, but i know that i've had success with wallpapers by using different apps (wallpaper set & save, etc.) for cropping..
for contact pictures, do this (I apologize if this was listed or you already know it):
1. open GoSMS
2. on conversation list page hit menu
3. go to settings
4. click advanced tab
5. click appearance settings
6. click conv. list customization
7. click display contact pictures?
8. click yes
9. back out and save your customization
NOTE: it should start using it automatically but if it doesn't choose it from the user defined settings list found under the 'conv. list customization' link
if i misread what you're saying and you cant see contact pictures but you see the placeholders then the issue might be the native contact not storing contact pictures in the same place that gosms is looking for them at...
okay.. i'm done..
galaxy_s.. tell your mom to call me so she can pick up her clothes..

Is chat heads from facebook messenger working for you?

Hi all,
I just wanted to see if other people are getting chat heads(new messenger update) to work. It doesn't appear for me on my DNA, but other people seem to have it working on their phones.
Thanks in advanced!
Working great for me. Enabled SMS integration in the app and now all of my SMS messages pop up too. Really nice feature honestly.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Works for me too!
working here. emojis are a nice touch... but i can't see ones people are sending me... oh well.
interesting well glad its working for you guys - I am not sure what I need to do - should the chat head be automatic? I am getting SMS alerts to messenger - just no chat head showing.
in the messaging app for facebook... go to settings>notification settings> should see a box for "chat heads". enable it. i also made it my main texting app(also in the settings but under sms/mms) not sure if that has anything to do with it though...
Thanks, it looks like I don't have an option for chat heads in the notification settings like I should .. interesting .. I'm on version 2.4.2 build 178229

I cannot see the Chat Heads options in settings (
I can't get the chat-head's option to show up in settings on my Nexus 4 either. I've tried rebooting and clearing all app data, but nothing.
I found the APK for the new Facebook Home application.. it's only for specific devices as of right now... any way to install on our device to test it out?? Do I have to do something crazy like edit build.prop???
I can't get it to show up on mine, either. Reinstalled both facebook app and messenger app to latest versions. Just don't see any option in notification settings..
Here's what I tried and no go:
Uninstalling/reinstalling both messenger and facebook
clearing app data
reset/shutdown phone
and the combination of the 3
I'd be curious if it started working if you changed your build.prop device entry to one of the strings from a phone that is working. Seen this behavior before, far too often, in apps. Restricting settings based on device model, etc, when they're perfectly capable of working on others.
Chat head hhmmm interesting..
Facebook really top it with this
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Yea, I am using a HTC one x, and have just updated from an AOKP rom to a cyanogen mod rom. So supported device and no go. Seen the settings on my girlfriends stock galaxy s 3, and have seen the settings and heads working. The thing is, a friend has cyanogen mod on an unsupported phone and it works.. So I have no idea at all.
I did try to get Facebook home working before during the leaks, and am running android 4.2.1... They're the only things different to everyone else maybe????
For people that have it working and not working, what are your setups? Phone models, roms and their bases? There must be a common factor here, or a mod to enable it... :silly:
Do you have corporate email setup on your phone? I was thinking if it can disable this feature...

No, totally clean install with nothing but the two Facebook apps!
It's working for me, too. Perhaps 'cause I'm on a Sense 5 ROM?
Same problem
I am running cyanogen mod (nightlies) on galaxy s3. Same issue, I tried many things including clearing cache yet no option in messenger for chat heads..

Facebook Home 1.0

I have V1.0 (released today) working fine so far (had to change the build prop to Galaxy Note 2). ROM: AOKPA:CM10.1 ParanoidKANGdroid 2.3.0 [April04]. YMMV on other ROM's. Just thought I'd post here since nobody has mentioned it so far.

alright os i got it running on my phone ,,, here are my thoughts....i might need to watch a video on how to change things around but i dont like how you cant customize it for when you hitting ur picture and only getting messenger , apps and recent activity .... it shoud have a option for phone ... you have to go into apps to use phone ....it doesnt seem very customizable .i also dont like hitting my home button to open apps honestly id rather it go tt the newst post made by a friend.um also when i went to close tasks in task manager and closed open apps it restarts fb home .... thats kinda annoying . just getting use to this but not sure if i even like it ? does anyone else have any thoughts about it ?
---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------
also i have noticed popping out a chat head or when recieveing a message i am not getting chat head?
Yea no chat heads here either
BaKeD
im sure it will be fixed soon .. someone will figure it out
Well the chat heads works in the regular messenger app! From the store.. maybe that can help make the chat heads work on this one.
Oh and fb home isnt working for me(the moded one) and suddenly it brings me some xperia integration stuff? Waa? Haha
yeah well after installing the apks that were in the link given no chat heads here ...........everything else seems to be working fine but no chat heads .. even when i go into messenger and try to pop out a chat head its a no go ... its not working ...

shayne! so the modded on didnt work and i tried the buil.prop one
insta-soft bricking once casually rebooted.. lolz
darn and i had to bring the note back to life, full wipe included.
.. and guys, actually FB home is just a launcher with lockscreen launcher stuff(as in, like nova, apex) except with NO customization other than turning off the messenger heads or logging in, or out or such fb based options.
And with the most gingerbread app drawer there is..
Basically you will only love this app, if you're an avid facebooker.. so for me only the messenger app will do, its got the chat heads anyway! bit choppy animations but it isnt anything a future update won't fix~
if you won't miss widgets and swapping things etc, if you wont miss ANDROID itself at all, then use fb home
It's worth trying it really but not my cup of tea.. i only use fb for the messaging and a couple likes etc, my entire life doesnt revolve on being on facebook
This is to make your android a facebook phone.

[Q] Any way to make multiple sync profiles?

Hello guys
Is there any way to make multiple sync profiles for google services?
I noticed that my sync takes quite a bit of my battery and Data, so whenever I live my home or office and off the Wifi,
I will turn the sync off. I would however, like to have at least gmail sync up and running, as I have to attend to my work stuff.
Right now, I do it manually and it's getting really boring when I do it few times a day. Settings, google, uncheck and check the
sync apps one by one.
Would be great if there was easier way to do it. Automate it someone how, so as soon as the wifi is off, the sync adjust itself.
Any ideas if there is something I can do ?
Thanks for taking the time to read,

Off the top of my head, I don't think there is a way. It might be possible with an app or rom but wouldn't really know what to look for. try searching for sync apps etc.

No Gmail Notifications on Meizu MX4

Hi all,
I don't get notifications for new Emails using the gmail-webapp on the meizu mx4 on ota5.
I already deleted my google account, rebooted and created the google account again, but it still doesn't work.
I checked the notification settings, but gmail is allowed to send notifications.
Anyone else with the same problem? How can I get notifications to work?
Would you please be so kind as to upload the following log files?
~/.cache/upstart/account-polld.log*
~/.cache/upstart/ubuntu-push-client.log*
That will help with debugging.
Sent from my awesome Ubuntu Touch device using the Forum Browser app
Thanks for your reply. The logs are in the Attachment.
Hmm I just got a notification for the first time. I have send an email to myself to test notification, for which I didn't get a notification, but someone just send me an email and I got a notification for it. I put the logs in the attachement.
Thank you for the logs. I'll have a look at them right away.
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------
Ok, I couldn't find any errors in the log files but I saw a similar bug report in the reviews of the Gmail app (even though it is no issue in that app's code at all).
I'll have a look at the code and will maybe send you a debug build with more debug information if I find that this would be helpful.
Had to take a short break but here we go.
Attached you can find the debug build. It produces some more log output than the old one but no private data is included.
Please install it by making your system writable, downloading the zip file, extracting the deb file, pushing it to your phone and installing it by running
Code:
sudo dpkg -i account-polld_0.1+15.04.20150410-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb
Please note that you will have to do a reflash using the ubuntu-device-flash tool the next time you want to update your system. It will preserve your data but it will be an additional step.
After installing the package, please send yourself a few test mails from another email account (preferably a Gmail one, definitely not a Yahoo one as Yahoo emails always land in the spam folder in Gmail).
If you want, you can also send me your email via PM and I'll send you a few test messages.
After sending those emails, wait 10 minutes to make sure that account-polld has run in the meantime, then grab the log files again and upload them here.
That will allow me to have a deeper look into what is working and what isn't.
Thank you very much in advance.
By the way, I only need the account-polld log files from now on. You can leave out the ubuntu-push-client logs as they are all right.
Thanks, I just installed the deb file and will ask my friends to send me some emails.
As I am on sports event, I wont be able to upload my logs until late afternoon.

Now that's interesting since I didn't change anything of the logic.
Would you mind giving the unmodified version a try again? Either by reflashing or by installing the original Debian package from Launchpad: launchpadlibrarian.net/202778718/account-polld_0.1%2B15.04.20150410-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb
Please run the following commands before installing it and reboot afterwards:
Code:
stop account-polld
stop ubuntu-push-client
rm ~/.local/share/account-polld/*
Let's see if that changes anything.
OK I will test it tomorrow.

I installed the deb file from launchpad and it seems that notification do now work.
At first I got notifications for the unread emails from Yesterday and afterwards I got notifications for my test-Emails. Thanks very much for your help !
The only thing which does not work as expected is that the message tone for a new email is 'Blip' instead of 'Xylo' which I choosed in the settings menu.

That was because the rm command deleted the information which mails have already been shown to you. That was part of resetting the push client to an as much as possible pristine state for testing.

Hmm for me the bug is not fixed. The email notification sound still remains the same. I maybe was too fast, when I marked the notification problem as solved, because I still often get no notifications for new emails. It seams that it depends on the source or content of an email if I get a notification, because for some sources I get everytime a notification, for some never. For the most sources I get no notification. I assuming that because I got an email from a source without notification and after that send me an email from the source I know I will get a notification and I got one, but just for the working source, the other one was not in the notification list. So notification still not working correct for me
