[Q] Facebook Problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded to the Galaxy S4 and am running Omega 13.2 I have noticed that I only receive notifications for email (gmail) and text messages... Facebook, twitter and other apps are not coming through. I have checked and double checked that notifications are set to on in my Facebook settings, and I have tried disabling, them, restarting my phone, and re-enabling them with no success. I have also tried Friendcaster and atrium alternative apps. It's very annoying! Anyone else having this issue and know how to resolve it?

Do you receive the notifications on mobile data with WiFi off?
My gf gets notifications on mobile data but doesn't get them when connected to WiFi for some reason

Mine are!!!!
The push notifications work for me. They work for both messages (comments and sht) and facebook chat. The facebook chat so far is better than any of those other apps ive used to use facebook chat. They finally got something right, because this facebook chat also rapes the chat on the iPhone.
I wonder if the ppl that say it doesnt work have "enable always-on mobile data" unchecked. If thats unchecked, it will not work at all on 3g. Well...it'll work when you're using the 3g, but wont work as soon as you turn your screen off.
I'm running CM6 on wifi and I haven't gotten any push notifications at all. I have notifications and such enabled and have gotten emails from facebook in the meantime, but no push notifications.

Facebook chat now on there YES
Push notifications seem to be working. I can finally disable email notifications. I like the inclusion of chat but I still prefer Trillian since I can do multi service (GChat + facebook for me) and it also supports the push notifications service.
I can't get it to STOP notifying me. I went into the settings and turned off notifications, but they're still showing up, grrrrr
^^^^ Having the same problem, any one have a solution for this. I had to actually log out because I kept getting chat notifications...
Anyone figured out why cleared/deleted chat conversations keep coming back?
Do the people that are receiving notifications have it synced in the "accounts sync" settings area of android or should the app be pushing notifications regardless? I still only receive notifications when I open the app.

force closing and clear data? i tried and had to sign back in.. havent had anything happen to test if push works for me yet...

Every time I go into add account for Accounts & Sync, Facebook just doesn't load. Facebook for HTC Sense does though as with everything else.
Ah, good I guess for me. I'm in the same boat.

SGT will not sync gmail

Title says it all. I have tried everything I have found in this forum with no luck. Basic problem is I have to click refresh in gmail to recieve my email. I am not rooted and my htc evo and desktop all work flawlessly and notify me about new emails. Any ideas would be helpful.

Go to settings / accounts and sync / and verify you dont have any red icons on the gmail account. If you do there are normally error why. You can also ensure you have mail checked to synchronize as well as contacts.
That is the first step that comes to mind. If you have not already, delete amd readd the acct. You will want to play close attention when setting back up the settings on each setup page. You may have set sync frequency to manual or something.

I have deleted the account and deleted the data from the gmail app under manage applications. I have checked and unchecked the sync setting many times. Each time I re check the gmail sync it syncs fine and if I have a new email it will notify me but after that if I get an email I get no notification on my SGT unless I click refresh in the app or uncheck then re check sync.

What are your notification settings in the gmail account application?

Do you have any other Android devices? If so, do they sync correctly?
Do you have any type of authentication set in gmail?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Are you using the gmail app and not the email app?
Do Google Talk notifications work correctly?
Sorry if some of these questions sound dumb, but better to cover all bases before moving on.
Awe good point.... I think he is using the email app vs the gmail app. I dont think the notification option mentioned is available in the gmail app.

Trust me they are not dumb questions I did tech support for a few years... It is just sad when you have to ask "Is the computer plugged into the wall socket?" Anyway yes I have an HTC EVO the gets the IMAP push just fine as does my desktop running Chrome. I have just a regular single password set up for gmail. I have not done a factory reset yet. I am using the gmail app. I dont use google talk but google voice notification work. The voice notifications are not IMAP but set on a timer ever 15 minutes however.
I had this same problem and tried everything toto make it work. I never got it fixed, so I did a factory reset and it works fine now.
Thats what I am thinking of trying. Wish it could be simpler though. :\

I think i had this once.... But a delete and readd fixed it. Do you have your gmail setup to backup your apps and bookmarks to chrome? You can also use mybackup pro to backup other on device media and OS settings. =)

Just tried a factory reset and the problem remains. Could my router be blocking the push. Chrome gets the push fine on the same router I use the extension "Google Mail Checker" I am out of Ideas.
Try restarting your router just in case.
I don't know if this applies to your issue? http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=3a06c995ce0f82ae&hl=en
Yep that is the same problem I am having. That page was my first try for a fix before posting. I went through all of those steps and it didnt resolve the issue thats when I posted here. I am begining to think I am just out of luck.

Completely disabled firewall on my router and boom it works. WOOT! Do you know what port # IMAP could be using different than what chrome is using.
Re enabled firewall still working. Beats me. :-|

Very odd. Would think a router would come out of the box ready to support email protocols.

No Facebook Push Notifications on Nexus 4

Has anyone had issues with no push notifications appearing from the Facebook app on their Nexus 4? I've reinstalled many times, but no dice.
Nope; I get Facebook notifications just fine. Not sure what to suggest might be causing your problem.
That's a good thing! I turn my Facebook notifications off anyways.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
i'm having this issue too. Email notifications are also absent. Under settings it shows "sync on" as well as in the actual apps, notifications are turned on.
Both my N4 (cellular data) and Vibrant (on wifi only) are next to each other on my desk and i get every email and fb notification on the vibrant but not the N4. Setting within the apps are identical to each other. This is rather annoying
Ditto...no notifications for me either...I think it's a 4.2 bug because I don't get them on my nexus 7 either

Email and Facebook push notifications have been working for me all evening. 4.2 here...
Use friendcaster, its better. I was having issues with the Facebook app as well.

just uninstalled and reinstalled... Problem solved. I get notifications now
Did you, by chance, restore from a TiBu backup? If so, it broke my notifications for Twitter and Facebook. It was corrected by uninstalling and reinstalling.
Push notifications work just fine on my stock N4... are you using any task managers by chance?

Go to Facebook. Hit the button with a vertical ellipsis and check your Refresh Interval. Change it to the frequency you prefer (Never is good for me
If that doesn't solve the problem, or you were already not on Never, go to our Sync quick tile from the notification bar. I'm on ParanoidAndroid, and can enable a Sync tile, but it may be different for you. Anyway, make sure you have"Auto-sync app data" enabled.
If none of these work, and you are receiving push notifications from other apps, then go to Settings>Apps>Facebook and clear data. Relogin to Facebook and make sure the refresh interval is not Never.

no backup up. pure stock.
Have you wiped data from "Google framework services"? If you did, that's the reason notifications are not getting pushed in.
Reinstalling the apps or re logging to them should solve the problem. Or just doing a factory reset works too.

I find notifications to be pretty sporadic whatever app you're using but I find them to be more reliable if you uninstall Facebook and just run FriendCaster.
You do have sync enabled right?

Since updating to 4.3 no notification in the notification bar.

Like the tiltle says it, since i update my nexus 4 to 4.3 , when i receive an email in gmail, i dont get the gmail icon in the notification bar to notify me that i have a new message.
I double checked if everything was synced and it is, and inside gmail the notification option is checked.
Its kind of anoying to have to go inside the gmail app everytime to see if i have a new message, because yes i receive them but no sign of it in the notification bar like before.
Just Gmail? Clear data on the app and see if that fixes...have you tried any troubleshooting other than checking the settings?

I cant be sure its just gmail , but i noticed gmail because usually i receive a lot of messages during the day.
Same problem here. After clearing Gmail app data / cache it seems to work now but not 100%. I get notifications but they're delayed by 3 - 5 minutes.

Another thing, since 4.3 when someone reply to a thread that I created I get a notification in the notify bar (before it was gmail that was notifying me) and I click on the link, it opens the xda app and it load and load and load , I always need to force close it and open it up again

essentially the new gmail app has a separate setting for each label and such for everything in gmail so if you have certain labels or categories set up each of them has a different setting for syncing and notifications that you have to set up

Yes it works fine , but I think it's a bit slower than it was on 4.2.2 as I remember.
It take more time to load a page.

So you mean everything is back to normal (as they were with 4.2.2)? Or are your notifications coming but still delayed? I ask because I just updated to 4.3 and while notifications for everything else seem fine, Gmail is not behaving. Trying to clear data/cache and see if that helps.

Okay, notifications seem a bit slow but they are now working for Gmail. Data/cache clearing also seems to have opened up Google Play Store notifications (which I had not noticed were not working). I guess I'll have to keep an eye on stuff for the next few days to make sure things are working after the 4.3 update.

Guys I found what's wrong.
In gmail since now gmail put emails into different labels you need to go in each labels and activate labels notifications.

Possible, yeah, although I had the label notifications on since Gmail was updated before the 4.3 update rolled out. Anyway, I am getting notifications and I am unlikely to notice them being a bit slow. Maybe they were always a bit behind and I just didn't notice and now since I am testing I am noticing more. Thanks for the update.
It worked

I was also having issues with Gmail notifications and was afraid it was a bug or something. I went ahead and cleared the data on the app and followed your instructions. That seemed to have solved the notification issue. :laugh:
I am having the same exact problem on ALL 4.3 builds & have tried clearing app data & cache (which didn't help)
& also Label settings for the inboxes but its still not working!! Anyone figure this out?
