ok, so we've had push notifications for quite some time now, since 2.2
does anyone know the reason why SO many apps(big ones, too) seem to refuse to implement push notifications?
facebook says they have them, but they've never worked for me ever. and there's no settings for them. only for polling
official twitter app still polls
words with friends polls
etc
do these devs just not want to add in support for 2 sets of phones? 2.2+ and everyone below 2.2?
i can't think of any reason why this happens, but its a huge issue in my eyes. android phones get bad enough battery life as is.
if you go into facebook and enable notifications but set poll time to never you get push notifications
Tried it. It's never worked on my n1, and I know I'm not the only one.
My gf gets them on her sensation though
Don't use Facebook as an example. Their app is pure garbage. Lots of apps use Push. Trillian, Skype, Talk, eBuddy, etc...
Yes but my point is lots of apps also don't use push still. Apps that are updated regularly. It makes no sense to me that devs are seemingly ignoring it.
My thoughts exactly. Does it cost more to implement push notification?
Twitter app is updated. Says they added push, yet, just like the facebook app, there are 0 settings for push and only options for polling
I don't ****ing get it. These companies must put their A and B teams on iphone apps and their H teams on android

There are options for Twitter. They're just buried under each account.

Also, you must be running your own H team since the term is pull, not poll.

Both terms are correct, but polling is more common.

Google search must be incredibly wrong then
The only options under the profile are for polling (the correct term. it periodically polls the server for updates). Just like the facebook one there's no sign of any push options anywhere

ok, so apparently "automatic refresh" means push notifications? thats so misleading. it's not refreshing anything, then
yet there is still an option to set how often it polls the server, with no option for never
ugh
either way, this still backs up my point that they have ****ty devs making these apps
I'm pretty sure this is a feature for people who follow hundreds, if not thousands, of people who don't want to be pushed a notification every second of every day. They must figure that people with a lot of followers would rather see a big chunk of updates at once rather than being notified to death.
And yes, "Automatic Refresh" doesn't sound like push notification at all but that's just part of the crummy UI of the official twitter app.

Trust me i've tryed and it works for me and a lot of my friends, to enable Facebook push notifications:
1 kill the application in "application manager" and erase data and cache.
2 Go to facebook.com with pc and deactivate your account (don't worry you won't lose anything)
3 after a minute log in again with the pc
4 and now log in with you phone
Now it should work.
Try and tell me if it works. i've set the update period to 4 hours.
i apologize for my english :\

That's what I did to get mine working too. Just deactivate your account on the Facebook website, and then activate it again. Push starts working right after you log back in on the web and your phone.

I have the latest version of twitter, 2.1.2, and there is no "automatic refresh" above the sync contacts setting. Cool?

Dang... I was really, really hoping this would work. I deleted the data for the app on my phone and deactivated my facebook account. I then reactivated my account and then logged in in my phone. I have since had 2 facebook notifications show on the web browser, but I have yet to have any sort of notification on my phone.
This has been especially bad since the gmail app no longer allows other apps to see the email, which knocked out my "push" notifications for facebook from Friendcaster Pro. Grr... I just want push notifications.

You can change the google account used in G1 without factory reset, once you have done the setup, go to the setting option and then applications, in application go to Gmail and then clear the user data option, once you clear the Gmail data, and IM data from application you will see a notification/alert and that will require you to do the gmail setup again, use the other gmail account to register.
NOTE: the contacts and logs also got deleted in this process, so make sure you have a complete contact listed some where or better sycn it with previous gmail account and then export that from gmail. Once you setup the different account, import that contact and sync back to G1.

Nice! Thanks for the useful tip
I tried this and it still won't remove my account.
I am too suspicious as i tried but phone never asked me for newer User name and password
good work but anyone verify this will work, i hate losing all my contacts but still a very useful tip!

I have tried it again and it works, try to clear the data of Google Application from the application, as you clear the data, android will have a notification to register again, use the new account to register.
Note:make sure you take care of contacts, else you may loose all that.

what do you mean:
"try to clear the data of Google Application from the application, as you clear the data"
so go to settings and manage applications then go to Google Apps and clear data?
sorry, i'm not the best reading comprehension kind of person as was seen when i take standardized exams

I know there's probably a good reason for this, but what's the benefit of using a different account?

Two that come to mind immediately:
1) You want to use a different global default account.
2) You are getting rid of the phone.
The first thing you said was:
"You can change the google account used in G1 without factory reset, once you have done the setup, go to the setting option and then applications, in application go to Gmail and then clear the user data option"
The second thing you said was:
"I have tried it again and it works, try to clear the data of Google Application from the application, as you clear the data, android will have a notification to register again, use the new account to register."
Since the first thing you said (just the word "applications") was not very close to the ACTUAL NAME of the application you mean to be talking about, I suspect most ppl here tried clearing the data for the Gmail application.
I know I did, at any rate. Explanation FAIL.
Trying the suggestion with application: Google Apps now....
It works.
Get the effin names right, plz.
Here's an example of clear and correct steps:
Home -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Google Apps -> Clear data -> Notifications (top of screen) -> Tap "Your account must be updated" -> Enter new account info -> reboot* -> Get your contacts back somehow.
* I'm not certain that the reboot is required, but it seemed to take the Gmail application an ungodly amount of time to sync otherwise.
And lastly, note that the Call Log (tab in Contacts) is NOT deleted by this method.

Not sure why but my phone ever since I permanent rooted it has been stuck on sync unless I turn off background data. Anybody else have this problem?
Just for more detail I did remove some blaotware from my phone. I removed the peep app, friebdstream, all demo games and some themes.

The only one that keeps syncing for me is the facebook account. I set it to synching once a day but it still syncs every time I reboot the phone. Happened to me before rooting too, don't think that's the problem.

hey guys - I'm also having this problem. Have you found a fix for it at all? My Facebook is the one constantly syncing as well. I usually just go in and hit "cancel sync" under Accounts.
I'm insane when it comes to what's running on my phone, what's syncing, etc. So if anyone was going to see "constant syncing" when it isn't supposed to be, it would be me.
What is your sync interval set to?

I don't need Facebook updates that often and I really only use the sync to have Facebook contact info (for contact pics/avatars). I keep mine at 8 hours and I haven't noticed it "syncing all the time."
Do you have any "splats" on your Accounts & Sync? You know, like when it's unable to sync and says, "Unable to sync since xx/xx/xxxx"?
I would check for any red indicators that are trying to let you know sync is unavailable. That should only be a temporary issue, if it's happening, but there are times when Google or Facebook can't and won't sync and deleting the cache/app data usually clears things up.
Hey guys I am having the same problem. I already unchcked all data and automatic sync... For some reason it continues to sync. I went into every single one of my accounts and nothing shows that it is syncing. Even unchecking every box doesnt help. It still syncs.
Thoughts?

Can you post a screen shot of your Accounts & Sync screen showing that each account is still syncing, even though you have either Auto-sync un-checked...
Or any of the sync options un-checked...
My schedule is set to once a day. Once it starts syncing, it never finishes. I don't have any issues with it saying it can't sync though. I also noticed it tends to kick off Google's contact sync. The weird thing is the google one just shows the sync icon, but it isn't spinning. What does that mean?

Well.. I would rather try taking a vifeo for you. It doesn't actually show that anything is syncing with the little circle next to it. Even going through all my accounts turning off data etc... It will remain syncing at the top. When I go into Settings, applications, running, all, and force stop the calendar.. THe sync in notification bar goes right away. That is how I know it has to be the calendar. It eventually comes back.
I have already master reset 3 times. Tried different gmail accounts and everything.
I think I'm having the same problem as vom - nothing is syncing under those menus.

Can you go into each one of the accounts at that time and take a screen shot? You might want to obfuscate your email addresses and such, but I think in order to verify what we're talking about, we should see the sync up top, while NOT seeing a sync within each account. That's what I'd really like to see.
I know that you have Background and Auto un-checked, but I'd like to see the "detail" within each account, as it might point to an error or a reason why those accounts are trying to sync.
Also, is anyone else who's experiencing this "issue" using Exchange ActiveSync? Just trying to spot trends.
It's not doing the sync thing right now, but I can tell you there are no syncing icons under each account. I'll try to nab some shots when it goes into sync mode again
mine is doing this....it's the facebook contacts that seems to be constantly syncing
it never really stops, but never gives an error
So I had an EVO before my MyTouch and when I saved a contact it went straight to my GMail account. I noticed contacts were missing from there today and was confused, I found out when I save a contact the default location is T-Mobile's sync app. I tried disabling it under accounts and sync and all I can do is turn off sync but when I add a new contact it still defaults to that account. Now I know I can change it in the little drop down but I would prefer just to have GMail as the default so that I don't forget to change it or something. Plus every time I do change it this stupid warning pops up.
Anyone know how do make GMail default? I can't find settings for it ANYWHERE!
Hi, please search next time
This has been asked and answered, here is the relevant post on how to (AT YOUR OWN RISK) completely disable T-Mobile sync: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9922041&postcount=5
Does nothing, I am fully rooted running stock ROM but when I search that and delete everything T-Mobile sync stays in my setting and when I restart all those files come back if I seach with root explorer again...
You can be "fully rooted" with permaroot, but are you S-OFF in hboot? If not, any modifications to /system will revert on any reboot.
Yes, S-Off HBOOT 0.85.2007 I used this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
to root and gain S-off. If it is any connection I also can't get any of the over clocking kernals/mods to work on my phone. This is a replacement MyTouch, my last ones screen shattered. But I was able to root and over clock that one, never tried this deleting T-Mobile sync till I got this replacement phone.
Just uncheck "tmobile" from the view menu in the contacts screen. Then it will automatically select Google as the default save location.

Also does nothing, at least for my phone and my stores demo MyTouch... Still defaults to T-Mobile and you can't remove the account in settings either because it says to master reset it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Make sure you don't use faves. If you have any contacts in faves, T-mobile becomes the default save for contacts. I just froze the faves app and widget along with applying all the other suggested fixes and so far google remains my default save.
...also, delete data in contacts storage app and resync everything to google.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
Thank you!!!!!!! I just deleted anything that had to do with My Favs as well as all the nab files in root explorer and now it defaults to Google most of the time, seems like depending on who you enter the contacts menu it switches from Google to phone. If I go to contacts via the app drawer and add bee, Google is default, but if I click the phone in the launcher bar then go to add a contact it makes phone the default. Doesn't matter to me though I go through app menu most times and either way at least its not on T-Mobile. I'll use the thanks button when I get home the app doesn't have the option.

No problem. If you look at my post history, a couple weeks back I wrote a pretty detailed process on how to keep Google as your default contacts. It explains how you need to unlink (or better, delete) all contacts and basically only use Google to sync. Glad to help.

This doesn't appear to be correct. One of the first things I do when dealing with Contacts is change the 'View'. I only have one Google account and my Facebook checked for my View Contacts > View options and when adding contacts, I keep T-Mobile hidden, my other Gmail account hidden, etc. T-Mobile is still the default Contact Type.
In regard to this post...

This seems to have the same effect, since now I no longer have T-Mobile as a Contact Type when I go to add a new contact...
What I don't like however, is that of my 3 Contact Types - Google (Gmail #1), Google, (Gmail #2) and Phone, Phone is the default Contact Type now when adding new contacts...
Is the same true (i.e. that Phone is the default Contact Type) after deleting anything to do with Nab?
My default seems to stay google now that I changed it from phone the very first time after deleting nab and my favs. It did originally default to the phone though. Also it seems like it may depend on how you actually enter your contacts. If you go in through the Contacts app via the app drawer google is the default, if you go in via the little phone in the launcher bar it seems to make phone the default. odd?
Let's start with te facts:
I live in the Netherlands and haven't modified my N9005 in any way. No root, no custom roms. Everything is stock.
Last friday I got an OTA for the KitKat update. Installing went fine.
After a while, troubles were starting.
First thing that went wrong was an error "android.process.acore stopped". This message started an couldn't be stopped anymore. Even after a reboot I still got the same error over and over again. I tried all fixes I could find on the internet, but ended up with resetting my phone to factory setting
After soms hours of reinstalling my phone, my phone keeps crashing. Out of the blue my phone freezes and then reboots. This happens about 5 times a day.
I also got an error when I opened my SViewCover (com.sec.android.sviewcover stopped).
And now I discovered that Samsung made a change in the email app. Normally I only received the last 50 mails. This way I could reduce my data usage a lot. I have a mailbox where I receive more then 1000 emails a day. Now Samsung removed this option and stared downloading up to 5000 messages. Also the default is to load max 50kb per email. Because of this I used 600MB in this weekend alone!
Does anybody else have the same issues and maybe found a solution?
I don't have kit kat on my note 3 , so I am not sure of difference with email app.
However on 4.3 there are two options

Yeah im not too happy with the changes made as well. The thing I dislike the most is that now you have to have the sync toggle on to manual sync. In 4.3 I would use the sync toggle for push emails and manual when its off.
EDIT: I can see now you said you get 1000 emails a day! What I wrote below won't help, sorry.
To get to your issue: the only solution I can think of (without looking for another email app) is to change the "Period to sync email" to the shortest setting*, which would be a day. This is how I've got my spammed email set up, so when it does sync it doesn't use up loads of battery or data.
Email (app)/settings/accountsettings/"your email username"/syncsettings/period to sync emails:
I wish Samsung in future wouldn't try fixing something that isn't broken.
* the shortest sync setting will sync more than a day if you need it to, by that I mean you just get a day at a time when you sync. Sync twice and you'll get two days worth of emails.

Tnx for your response. Unfortunately your suggestion won't fix my problem indeed.
I really liked the default email client because of the good integration and PGP support. But alternatives as K-9 are also quite good.
My biggest worries are the continues crashes. I really get frustrated by that. At this moment I can't use my phone for the wake-up alarm. After a reboot my phone asks for my pincode (what I really don't want to turn off). I really hope Samsung will come up with a solution. That's why I "hope" that more people have this issue so Samsung will take it seriously.
Gmail has been killing my battery for almost 2 days, I haven't changed a single setting in the Gmail app or any account info, but it seems that with the new update Google messed up the Gmail app.
I charged the phone before going to sleep, and then went to bed to see the drain overnight (I usually do this to see if something is wrong), and when I woke up, I had a drain of about 15% overnight when usually I have around 5%.

Besides this, it seems that the app itself is behaving real bad, I usually turn off sync when I'm not on my home or work, and today I received a mail when sync off.
Have any of you guys have a similar experience?.

Solution
It seems that there are some problems with no Gmail accounts and sync, so I deleted manually all the accounts, deleted the cache and the data of the Gmail app and re added everything. It has been a day and it seems that the problems is gone.

I'm using Inbox and no problems with battery drain

I tried to use Inbox, but it lacked of support for another kind of accounts (Outlook, Yahoo).
It seems weird this update, everyday is the same, and although battery life in Maxx is really good, this still is a big problem.

You likely have an account that is stuck in the syncing/refreshing phase. I'd suspect its a non-gmail account.
Clear data from Gmail and then force stop it. Then open it up and let it resync.

I already tried to do that since the last update, also rebooting the phone and more over, to force the stop in the app and cleared the cache also.
Besides, this shouldn't be happening, I mean, the only change in the last few days was the update, so it's likely that the problem is that.
I have also researched on internet, and it seems that couple of people is also reporting it.

I use Gmail and no problem so far. I always leave sync off and swipe down to refresh. Here's a screen shot from this morning.

Problem is that even with sync off, I'm still receiving mail; that's why I think that the update is messed up.

I have the update but I have HD voice turned off, don't know why that would matter. I almost forgot, I also removed most of the apps listed in the "Apps to Remove for Pure Android" thread.
Try uninstalling gmail reboot then install gmail once back booted up.

How many other accounts do you have synced with Gmail? Maybe try removing the accounts one by one until your battery drain goes away.

I can´t uninstall Gmail because is a system app.

I also disabled many apps that I don´t use, but I don´t think this matters for the problem I have.

You do know gmail now allows to link other emails right? u can use hotmail, outlook, and yahoo via gmail app.
What I have done, is install a third party app (cloud magic) and use it for all my email accounts.
I actually have both my email and gmail apps disabled.

I prefer to use the stock apps, just to feel the stock Android experience.

I tried to delete cache and the data, re added the accounts again and it seems that it solved the drain.
