Rant: Facebook messenger using the Ringtone sound! - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General

I am copying the review I posted on Facebook Messenger app page on play store . If you share the same pain, please post the same review on Facebook Messenger app page.
Android has different sound settings for Ringtone and Notification. Ringtone is purely used when someone calls you and it rings your phone. Notification sound is used for, of course, notifications, like when someone messages you or you get a new email.
Many of us keep our Ringtone sound enabled and notification sound disabled when at work or during night, so you don't get disturbed by constant notification sound but you still get phone calls.
However, facebook messenger completely ignores this. They use the Ringtone sound instead of notification sound. So even when I have muted my notification, my phone keeps buzzing since the facebook messenger sound is passing through the Ringtone sound.
This issue had been in the app for long, I thought they would figure it out themselves but its been more than a year with the bug and they still haven't fixed it. I will change review to 5 stars after they fix it

or, just stop using the app all together and just use it from your browser and let your battery love you ;P

Just use greenify without enabling it in xposed to greenify Facebook messenger and it won't bug you anymore and you'd still get your phone calls through just like normal[emoji16]

i'd also recommend in addition to that, download autostart check and go in and kill the majority of the autostarts from FB as well to truly control it

I'm thinking it's only a US thing. I use xprivacy module to fake all the info that Facebook asks for (permissions) including the country and that's probably why. Lol
I never had this thing telling me what to do.

If I go into Manage Applications I have two facebook apps listed, Facebook version 1.3.2 and Facebook for HTC Sence version 1. Neither will allow me to uninstall?
It's a bug?
In fc chat, if we select go offline, my friends in their fc PC, see me like being online, it's annoying because some times I want not being seeing online.
I think is a bug app.
Can someone confirm this.

Hmm, that is interesting. I am guessing it is the rom you have since I am using Hyperdroid and am able to uninstall the old one to put the new one.

I'm on note 1 and im also facing same issue. I could see msgs only if i open app or sometimes if i restart device.
From my experience it sounds like a network issue, are you on 3G/4G? or Wifi?
Previously when I was on a crappy carrier (Vodafone AU 3G) I would get delayed messages, but now with a better carrier (Telstra 4G) I get them almost instantly. In fact I get messages faster on 4G than on any WiFi I've ever connected this includes a Wireless N network with a 100mpbs down / 2mbps up cable connection.

It happened to me last night, whatsapp woke up when i touched the phone , it doesnt happen much often, i think the problem is not in our devices, its more like whatsapp's servers on huge pressure causing the delay in receiving msgs.
Maybe you could try "push notification fixer" From the playtore. It is worth giving it a try
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
same problem here. The messages arrive only when I open the app.
It was occuring while I was with samsung rom, but its more often now with an AOSP (omnirom). I dont think its rom or device related.

I'm not here for waste my time with people that dont contribute nothing to this forum. See ya
wow, thanks Joku, I'll try this
guys, any solution please ?
This thread has been dead for a long time and whatsapp issue as well but lately it resurfaced on a friend's phone not mine and yet we have the same OS/ROM same whatsapp version etc. but strangely he doesn't receive messages unless he opens the app
I have noticed this happens only when he is connected to his wifi network because as soon as he disables it to switch to 3G he receives the messages so I have come up with a workaround using tasker to disable and re-enable wifi periodically so that he receives the messages only a few seconds after they are sent
This has been happening since a couple of whatsapp updates ago but since the latest update it has been much worse
I hope this issue will be resolved soon and in the meantime if this has been discussed on some other thread or forum please feel free to redirect me

Textra "+" Not working?

Hey Guys, The stock sms app stinks, "new messages" gets annoying.
Textra seems great, however when I hit the "+" button to get to mms-emoji,etc..
it just turns green and the keyboard pops up. nothing else.
Anyone running into this?
I haven't been able to get Textra to work properly. I use 8sms now and am really happy with it.

You can also recreate the behavior by adding Textra to your pen window as well, ..
Spoke to the Dev - He is blacklisting Textra and we should be good to go.
he said he had to do the same with s-health as well.
Ok so once that happens, we'll be able to re-enable MW Apps Manager and Textra just won't work with it anymore?
It sounds like it was the MW Apps Manager dev that you contacted, right?
There was an update for Textra tonight and one of the fixes was for MMS on the Note 3. I thought it might solve our problem, but no luck. So I emailed the Textra dev. I doubt anything will come of that, but maybe...
Btw, I don't know if you noticed, but it is still possible to attach stuff to texts through the share option of other apps.

Nougat brought music apk as a system application. Factually it quit downloading a while before Nougat but with Marshmallow you always had a chance to uninstall the last release and reverted it to the point where music download did work. I believe its over now, Huawei becomes more international and has to put attention to the copyright issues...

At least they can remove the online music section completely then if it is detected a user is outside China. I wonder if there is a way to modify the apk
If you deny permission access to 'Phone' music app shows blank. So it is possibly getting country info through this permission, can it be tricked I wonder.

Hi, Im running the last version of the stock os (usually I don't tend to install roms unless there are performance issues) eu
Basiccally I was downloading some photos from my Facebook (lite) account, and the anterior camera popped out itself, it shouldnt do that since I never launch any command for doing so (yeah Im quite paranoid)
Also Facebook should not have any camera access
I tryed a scan with avast, malwarebytes they didnt find anything.. So wth has happened?
