Notifications - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I am a noob somewhat in the fact that I'm coming from S2 on Sprint. Ever since i got this S4 I can't figure out how to show my notifications. The only notification I receive is through text messaging. I enabled it through my apps but it still doesn't show. Not even my Gmail shows! Need help Thanks

Turn on sync in your pulldown notification toggles

I have notification turned off in the system messaging app n even when I turn off sms popup notifications, I still get the notification..

never used it but just checked and turned off IM notifications then sent myself a text and still got the notification
That sucks. I had a similar problem with the keyboard vibrating when pressing a key. I would turn it off and it wouldn't turn off, now I have swype and it doesn't do that.

Glad you got it sorted but in future this should be posted in the Q&A forum, it's not a development thread.

Facebook Notifications

Im not receiving any notifications accept for messages. I have all my boxes checked. Is there another setting for responses.

I beleive it has something to do with facebook itself. I received a message a few days ago that that will not be sending e mails anymore.If that is what u are refering to.

Facebook app, does not have push notifications, you can read it on the Market description. If you want push notifications, you can use FriendCaster.
Just DL'd Friend Caster. Thanks

quick tip.. if you log in to Facebook from a Blackberry, all your notifications will work. This is mentioned on another thread I read here. I just went to a near by sprint store and logged in and quickly logged out, after that my notifications have been working.

Mute apps individually?

Hello guys,
I was wondering if there is a way to mute apps individually. In my case Gmail.
I know you can switch of the notifications entirely, but I still want to be notified of an email, i just don't need sound with it.
I just don't want to mute my whole phone..

maybe you have logined on several client, the hangouts will notify only one time!
I have the same issue across multiple accounts and devices. all unique accounts. all on latest stable software
Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 4
Nexus 10
Same here beyond annoying.
Notification Issues
I noticed that my lack of notifications was only happening with one contact. Everyone else who messaged me would come through just fine, but my wife's messages would come through without a peep. I finally did figure out what was wrong and wanted to share that here in case it helps any of you.
Specifically, although we'd installed and used Hangouts on her Nexus, in the Gmail desktop site, she hadn't click the "Try Hangouts Now" button (left click on your account's picture in the Gmail buddy list). Once I clicked that, all of her messages now resulted in notifications on my devices. Long story short, if you're having issues with notifications, see if the person messaging you is still using "Talk". A bit silly that Google didnt move her account over to Hangouts once she installed the mobile app, but oh well.
Hope this helps.
can I ask a stupid question - is hangouts allowing for text messaging now?

Its supposed to pop up on all of your devices and when you open it on another device it is supposed to clear them in the other devices

I just confirmed that "Hangouts" does allow instant messaging - it does not hit your text messages (but it does hit your data). the other person must also have "hangouts" installed too in order for you to communicate with them via this app

thanks for clearing some things up for certain users! but is anyone else experiencing this problem besides us.
I am experiencing this too, but seem to have noticed a trend. I do get notifications but only on the device that I most recently used to send the message (not both devices like it should). For example at 1 PM, I send a hangout message to another person from my Galaxy S3, they respond at 1:30 PM and it notifies my GS3 but not my Nexus 7. At 1:45 PM I then respond to their previous message from my Nexus 7, and they respond at 2 PM with only my Nexus 7 receiving the notification. Not sure if this is just coincidence but that's what I've noticed so far.
I'm on a Nexus 4 CM 10.1 (initially RC2, now most recent nightly) w/ Nova Launcher running and get no notifications that I've been messaged. In fact, if I chat with someone via Gmail and then check in the hangouts phone app, it will typically not include the chat that was done on my desktop. This is really irritating. Uninstalled updates back to talk for now.

it is really irritating.
I had same problem with Hangouts, it coming after upgrading to 4.4.4
What I've found on some forums and working for me:
1. Move all hangouts ogg giles from sdcard(emulated)/ ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones
to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. Got it working with :
Settings --> Sounds --> Volume --> Volumes --> Uncheck "Link ringtone and notification volumes".
Then an additional choice appears for the Notifications.
After that I started to get the sounds when notifications arrived. I rechecked the "Link ringtone and notifications" and the volume still worked.
Seems like something that needed to be initialized once.

[Q] Disabling native messenger notifications while enabling sound

I was wondering if there was a way to just disable notifications. I guess the notifications are tied in with the sound and I like to use ChompSMS but I don't get any sound when I get a text and I realized it's because when you turn notification off in the native messenger, it also turns off the sound. Is there a way around this? I also thought about freezing the messenger app but not sure if that would prevent me from receiving texts all together.
EDIT: I froze the native messenger app but couldn't get texts after that.
EDIT: Apparently it was the ROM I was on. My friend was able to disable it and still get sound to work when he got a notification in Chomp. I changed ROMs and it's working now.
