"Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. (Connection reset by peer)"
When I open up my Facebook app, whether I'm using the latest version or an earlier version, I can't grab my notifications. Not even talking about push notifications. No notifications whatseoever. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Michael
This seems to be happening on most android phones with the facebook app, but usually only while using it with mobile data, on wifi it works just fine. I think this is an issue with the app itself and nothing to do with the phone. You can try instead to use the app flow for facebook, it works better than the official app.
Thanks for your quick response bro.
Yeah that's kindof what I'd been guessing. When you say app flow, do you mean the HTC friend stream, or an actual app called app flow?
Thanks
Haha my bad, guess that's kinda unclear. There's an app in the market called "Flow for Facebook", it's a fair bit more useful than facebook's official app.
Ok thanks for the advice man, i'll give it a try!
Yeah I have been having the same problem, Facebook needs to fix this asap, its a huge problem if its affecting some many phones. You would think they would have noticed and fixed it by now....
My guess would be that they already have an update almost ready, and are waiting to fix this bug until they release the update (which should be sometime soon). Hopefully this is something we can look forward to.
Update confirmed, now at least notifications work over both wifi and 3g. Still think push notifications are broken.
try go at the facebook app setting tick everything except the phone LED
It works for me^^
ALL,
1) Using facebook app 1.6 you get notifications on the status bar. Clicking on the notification normally would display the facebook app messages. ISSUE: NOW DO EXACTLY NOTHING (Im not referring to chat messages that sometime are visualized sometime aren't)... I had to install GO CHAT do solve in part the issue.
2) Using other apps like BADOO or GO Chat I want that the stay in the background. After some time they are closed WHY? I suppose they are realized to run in the background....
Ok, let me know if you are experiencing similar issues...

I uninstalled the facebook app and reinstalled it from the market and this helped matters as mine was constantly flickering when updating my news feed

1) same here, worked in 1.5.x and since 1.6 it does nothing when I click on the FB notification. What's also broken is the Notification inside the app. It used to show all the updates but now there are like 2 updates from 4 days ago, no newer then that (!! keep in mind that I don't mean the posts itself, they are updating fine, but I'm talking about the notifications inside FB (main window, at the bottom of the screen) that somebody liked something ot that somebody posted something, where you could click and would be directed to the post/action that you were notified about !!).
if you experience problems try 1.5.4 waiting for the next 1.6.1 or something... EDIT: NOW SEEMS TO WORK WITH 1.5.4...
GET FACEBOOK 1.5.4

Any issues with battery life?

So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here

Hi,
I just recently switched to a samsung galaxy s4 ( two actually, one for me,
one for GF), before that we used iphone 4 and 4s, never had an issue with
whatsapp notifications until I switched this passed friday. The issue is
once the phone goes into sleep mode, be it mobile data or wifi, I have to
force close the app and open again to receive notifications that I got
hours ago if I don't continously check.
I've googled the hell out of it and found your FAQ, as well as plenty other
sites with the same issue except no solution.
From your FAQ:
1. tried re-installing directly from direct download link (
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk) and not from play
store
2. tried rebooting.
3. notifications are set properly
4. google+ is disabled ( hangouts) ( tried enabling it, same result)
5. Wifi is set to always on.
Note this is on stock, brand new phones and apparently it's a wide spread
issue:

Sadly, both
Do you lock the screen while whatsapp is open? Or do you choose whatsapp and then lock the screen?
If whatsapp is still running and on the screen, and you lock the screen, it's like the app just stops checking.. I've had this with multiple phones and its a whatsapp problem, not the phone.

So basically your solution was leave whatsapp on screen and push lockscreen?

No, the opposite. For me, whatsapp only worked and checked for msgs if i closed the app and then locked the screen. I would usually come back to the homescreen or something. But if i locked over whatsapp, it would stop checking or take a really long time.
But since you say you've done both, I'm kinda stumped.

The try backing out of whatsapp before locking the screen. That should fix your problem. Its a whatsapp issue.

I have tried that as well :/
Currently trying to installing .763, updated from .762, but whatsapp servers are probably getting busted as can't even verify my number.
Bro install Whatsapp+.
Google and download the apk,install and see if it helps.
If not, the only way is to root the S4 and install push notification fixer from play store. It modifies andriod to check for msges every 5mins. That will solve your problem for sure.

Hey mate,
I've probably tried all apps or methods by insanity to try getting this problem fixed. Unfortunately, nothing positive turned out.
Now I'm trying to off my screen when whatsapp is open, however, I still think it's unbelievably stupid to do so even if it works to get push notification. How can I go back to whatsapp whenever i wanna put the phone back in my jeans pocket? It then seems whatsapp would become the new homescreen?!?!?
Anyone got a real solution to this???
Also having this problem. Screen off, screen on - sometimes whatsapp just doesn't want to receive/send messages. Other times it's working properly.
Have you guys disabled Samsung Push? Have you disabled any system apps at all? Also, do you have the problem even when your phone has a good signal?
I'm also trying to find out the reason for this problem.

I do disable some system app like weather, finance and stuff like those. To me, what I can confirm is the independence of problem from the signal strength since I've been using the same service provider before upgrading to Jelly Bean and there used to be problem free with the push notification.
This is the result I got last night:
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> homescreen -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> free ram -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> screen off = push
Conclusion:
- it is not related to free ram
- it is the problem that the andriod system turn off the app upon screen off (or sleep)
Plus.
I tried installing Push Notification Fixer to introduce "heartbeat" to maintain the connectivity, unfortunately, it DOES NOT work in my case.
Let's keep in view the development. At least we are not alone and hope either Whatsapp or Google can fix this.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
It's a thread which guides you how to disable some allegedly useless google services in order to save battery life when idle. It works, but I think it might have been what's caused my whatsapp to go crazy. I even asked in the thread and some others have the same problem.
But if most other people in this thread haven't disabled said google services, that doesn't make any sense.
Mate. Trust me i know this issue exist on all andriod. i googled the hell out of it because i quarrelled with my partner a few times due to delay in replies. its just the way the kernel is written for stock andriod. you can try everything but it wont work. your only solution is to root and install push notification fixer from play store.

This isn't an issue with android it's an issue with whatsapp. Every android phone I've ever owned has had this issue with whatsapp. Whatsapp need to update their app so it still notifies if it was the last app open whilst the screen locks.
I just press home after I reply and let it lock its second nature to me. The bug is in whatsapp where if it is the last displayed whilst screen lock notifications don't work. You could try changing the conversation tone that might help.

That's wrong... It was perfectly fine, instantly receiving whatsapp messages in my phone no matter what. Something I've changed caused it to stop working.
My problem isn't only the notifications, it's the actual whatsapp messages aswell. Something killed the Whatsapp wakelocks, now my whatsapp isn't causing any wakelocks and when the phone is idle it does not check for messages.
They released it on the Market, happy happy joy joy!

True that. Everything else about it, I love though. It's fast, looks nice, and isn't bloated.
where to get AOSP messaging app from lollipop? like this on xperia. or is it the same like in kitkat? (no material design)
You can't get AOSP SMS client without building from source or ripping from another ROM. This Messenger has material design. AOSP SMS doesn't.
Whats the use of this search button? It doesn't work at all... its just printed over there...
Personally, I think Chomp > Messaging, but the only thing I'm wondering about is that I thought it was supposed to come with Lollipop and be set as the default SMS client over Hangouts. I installed 5.0 from the factory images last night and it wasn't included at all, nor was any gallery app besides G+ Photos.
I am waiting for someone to mod it so that I can have access to the quick links in notifications - reply, delete, read, etc. Those were so darn useful.

A few options in Lollipop seem to be broken.
An example is that in Accounts and Sync, the option to sync is called " Cancel Sync ". There's no option called " Sync Now " anymore. Seems like they forgot it.

That's pretty much the only thing I'm missing.
For clarification to whom of those who don't know yet -- Hangouts is still the default SMS client in official 5.0.

I do like the new messenger I just wish it was a little more smoother like the new newsstand

I was going to ask which device and Android you were on then read your signature. Strange. It's smooth and doesn't lag at all for me. I too, would hate it if it did. Everything is pretty much smooth, except Tapatalk..but that's the app's fault.
will it be possible to use stock 4.3 messenger on 5.0?
link to the SMS Messaging (AOSP) on play market.
now it says "This app is incompatible with your device."

I have yet to try since Messenger > AOSP SMS IMHO. I wouldn't see what would be stopping you though. I'd recommend using an apk downloader to download it from the Market and send it to yourself an email and see if you can get it on your phone that way.

8sms is has the options we are looking for. They are supposedly updating soon to the material design. Try it out.
I don't have that shadow under the top bar, does anyone know why it could be like that? and contact pictures look bad.
Is that button yellow or blue, cause mine is blue.

I'm on LG G2 CM11

I don't know if you are on MM yet but I noticed that there is a thing under App's (on MM) in settings where you can set what apps draw over e.g.. facebook chat bubbles. I think if you enable your apps that you want notifying you on lock-screen to draw over mode then it may show on lock-screen. Its working so far for my weather updates from google app... I could be entirely wrong and I am using a fairly wonky build of MM but I just thought I would offer my insight Best of luck bud.

I'm sure MM will fix that for you bud!
I do know the struggle, waiting on OTA's for us in New Zealand is painful. On top of the fact that before I went MM I wasn't getting notifications at all, calls missed cause it wasn't bringing the call screen up...all sorts of havoc.
Worst comes to worst you could try factory restore, then do the theme thing that other guy mentioned. You should technically have a default, it's weird you are missing it.
