[Q][SXP] Push notifications not functional - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I seem to have a more protracted problem with push notifications on my phone.
I use more apps (Twitter client, Tapatalk, Avast Anti-theft client, Notepad push agent, and some others) that claim to support push events. But if I send test push event to any of them, nothing happens. Either the event is not triggered at all until I invoke manual sync in that app, or the event arrives with considerable delay (hours or so). The only app that seems receive push events promptly is [email protected] mail.
However all of the nonworking apps look paired with their service online account or to Google account properly (some of them I have Greenified but Greenify shows that they could be awaken from hibernation using the experimental feature) - even apps that aren't greenified (Tapatalk, NEPush) don't notice new events.
Further, when I tried send test command to Avast Antitheft, the web UI said something about Google Cloud Messaging error (may be related to the problem).
Also phone seems to be logged in to Google account properly, sync with GMail is enablled..Global synchronizations in background are ON, Background data are ON ad of course mobile data are ON too.
Google Services Framework is version 4.0.4-430453
Google Play Services is ver 4.2.42
Google Account Manager is ver 4.0.4-430453
all are enabled
I have frozen Google Calendar Sync, Gogle Contacts Sync, Google Mail and Google Search but I assume these don't affect PUSH receiving.
I use rooted phone with custom kernel, UBL and stock firmware if it matters but I suppose it's not affecting my issue.
Any advices that could help bypass this annoying malfunction would be appreciated!

[Q] App to log SMS's to Google calendar in ICS?

Does anyone know of any app that logs automatically entire sms' content to google calendar in ICS?
SMS2CAL does not support ICS and the coder is not interested in supporting it or adapting it for it to work wit ICS.
CallTrack does a perfect job logging calls, however it fails to log sms.
Any ideas please??
SMS to Calendar
Hello,
there used to be a superb app, Log2Calendar. Sadly, this is now retired from the market.
Here is the APK that I backed up long ago; I install it on all my androids manually (it actually then prompts a market upgrade on some).
I actually use both CallTrack and Log2Calendar: CallTrack logs to a specific Call-Log calendar created on gmail, Log2Calendar logs sms only to a specific sms-log calendar
There is a Call 2 Calendar but it only shows one calendar in the list, so I did not try it.
Also evaluate SMS backup+
It transforms sms into emails (and if contact has an email address you can reply to that email and will send to that email) and uploads them to gmail in a specific SMS label. It also deals call logs if you use the google procedure to authorize emails.
IMAP upload / emails are much more efficient while researching. Plus you get conversation view, unavailable in the calendar
Cheers!

great tracker, don't know about service holder access to data but I guess it is respectful?

[Q] Utilizing Android device w/o a Google account

MODS: I realized this is in the wrong forum. Please move as necessary, thanks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello:
I currently am a BlackBerry user (9930 and Playbook). My carrier, Sprint, has not provided a viable upgrade path for me, so I am looking into alternatives to BlackBerry. The upcoming HTC One has my attention and I am hoping to answer a few questions about my ability to use an Android phone while maintaining local control over my PIM data. I should stress here that I am at the very beginning of my exploration of Android OS, so hopefully you can tolerate what I expect will be some basic questions.
1) Is it possible to fully use the phone while preventing it from storing my PIM data on Google's servers?
-- My understanding is that you must create, or link to, a gmail account in order to access the Google Play store (and possibly do other things on the phone). Doing so creates a means for Google to back up your calendar, email and potentially other data to its servers. If I must establish a Gmail account, then can I do so strictly as a means to access the Play Store, while preventing the non-Gmail email accounts (and their associated calendars) that I will actively be using, from getting backed up to the cloud, but still enabling those (non-Gmail) accounts to automatically pull down mail periodically?
2) Can direct, local syncs between the phone and MS Outlook on my computer be performed (via wifi/ bluetooth/ USB)?
3) Does the native calendar app accept and properly process incoming iCal invites (especially those which would be sent by a BlackBerry), and can invites for events be sent from the calendar when the events are created?
4) Assuming I can get away with not registering a Gmail account, what are some of the best non-Play Store options for obtaining apps?
Thank you
Updates to my questions from earlier: From reading I have done, it appears that I can avoid having my calendar and contacts data synced to Google, by simply turning that (sync) feature off, and not establishing a Gmail account. Also, there are options like the Amazon App Store, Getjar and Aptoide from which I can obtain apps without needing a Google account.
What remains unclear is whether I can set up a non-Gmail account to automatically pull down mail on a schedule, when I have Google sync turned off (in other words, are the sync settings "one size fits all" or can sync settings be different for various accounts).
What I am also a little fuzzy about is whether the native email client is vendor agnostic, or somehow tied into Google. This relates to my question about turning off "Google sync"
Bottom line: if I do not establish a Google account for the phone, am I safe from having email, calendar and contact info uploaded to Google servers?

Google Services Framework missing or google account not configured (PUSH problem)

Hello,
I observe this problem already longer time, push notifications are not delivered to my phone in time. I see this on many applications using Google push notifications. The push events only deliver on regularly scheduled synchronization events (ie. actively requested by phone)
Today I'm trying to bind Pushover application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.superblock.pushover) to my online account. After filling in the ligin details it popups message
Error
Your device doesnot appear to have a Google account configured, which is required for receiving push notifications, or the Google Services Framework is not functioning properly.
I have google account set up (Settings -> Accounts and synchronization (ON) -> Google account email -> all checkboxes are ON)
Google Services Framework version 4.0.4-430453 (com.google.android.gsf) is present in my phone as system application, not frozen
I need some clues what's wrong

[Q] Log into Hangouts without adding the account to the full sync

Hi,
I have a personal Google account which I sign into my Nexus 5 with and that all works fine.
I also have a work Google Apps account which I would like to log into Hangouts with but do not want to add it like a normal account (i.e. Settings > Add Account etc).
The reason is that if I sign in to my work account it requires that I download a device policy which then restricts how I use my phone (i.e. does not allow lock widgets, rooting etc).
I have found workarounds for email and calendar where I have third-party apps that let me sign in from a web-based google login page and then grant access.
So I am after, either, a way to log into Hangouts app without adding a base account, or a third party app maybe that would allow me to log in like the email / calendar clients I have.
Any suggestions for this would be appreciated.

Gmail not syncing on Nougat

Hi,
I have an issue with the Gmail app on my Moto G4+ on Nougat official ROM.
All syncing options are enable for Gmail, but I don't receive notifications when I have a new mail, I have to open the app en refresh manually to see it. Also, when I read the mail on the app, or delete it, if I open Gmail in a browser on my computer, the inbox still contains the deleted mail. Again, if I refresh manually on my G4, the mail is deleted on the server and not visible on my computer. There's no automatic sync in Gmail app, it only works with manual updates. The problem happens in Wifi or 4G, so it's not a connection issue.
I've tried to delete Gmail app data, to delete my Google account and recreate it on my phone, to exclude Gmail from battery economy mode, but nothing works, and it's really annoying.
Anyone here with the same problem and perhaps a solution ?
Thanks
Same issue here suddenly in the last few days. Manual sync within the Gmail app works but emails not automatically downloading and actions on phone not syncing to web automatically.
You have any battery savings settings enabled? Or a battery saving app? These often mess with sync settings to save some juice. Other than that, try Inbox if you want to stick with Google or a third party email app. I prefer BlueMail myself.
I have Nougat on a Samsung Note 5 with the same exact problem. I have power saving turned off. Never had this problem before I updated my phone to Nougat.
