something I have happen is when i try to record vid with fb messenger while it has the ability to do audio + vid freezing my camera. Any workarounds? default rom
Mine does this as well. I can't record video at all from messenger.
My wife and I have the same issue. I researched it online and best I can tell, it stems from a February messenger update. Other phones are having the issue, not just ours. So sounds like it's going to be needed to be fixed via a messenger future update.

yeah I can give you the day of the update, I was out at a party when it updated and @#$%ed up lol. January 13th for me. it gives the overlay error. Even disabling ALL overlays it's a no go.
[edit]
for what it's worth live vid works on EVERYTHING else that i've tested, hangouts, camera, instagram, snapchat, signal, telegram, viber, messages, literally everything else. And, you can take a live vid in fb app too.

Yeah like I said camera works with everything else even Facebook app. It's just a problem with messenger app and its not isolated to our phones.

Even on EB13, its sideways, is anyone experiencing the same issues? I have this issue when I am using Yahoo MEssenger
I had this happen when I used Fring but that was on DI18. I'll test it out again now that I updated. Btw Qik worked fine for me.
Well, yahoo messenger video chat still doesn't work, the video is sideways, just like dk28. I wonder if there is an issue with the app itself
qik works great. no more squishy face!
Hello,
Just got the S4 yesterday and theres a few things I cant get working/understand!
Firstly, when streaming video, from sources such as youtube or ted, it doesnt stream in full HD, it almost looks like standard definition. (this is streaming via wifi, not mobile data, i have also checked to make sure it is actually trying to stream HD)
Secondly is the email app, it is only showing me old emails from years ago? It only seems to have an "older" folder and isnt showing any new mail at all.
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks

Yea i installed the latest youtube, also tried just streaming it from the web browser but made no difference. At first I had compared the steam to my old phone, and my old phone looked much much better, which was very confusing given the s4's display reputation. But ive put some hd videos on the phone manually and the picture is amazing. Its just streaming services which are poor.
I have also updated the handset, there was a 600mb update as soon as i turned it on.
The email is really bizarre, and very annoying. I know I could get a third party email client from the play store, but theres enough apps/bloatware already on the phone so i'd like to use the in built email app!

Stock email works fine. Just change the setting of sync emails for 3 days only. Then wait for some time (Give it time to sync.) It will sync emails.
BTW you mean email for exchange or something? not gmail?

Yes, indeed the syncing of gmail mails was a pain at first on my S4. But there is an app in the google play store called "push notification fixer" That allows your emails to be pushed to your phone in an orderly manner on delivery. Hope this fixes your issue with the email syncing

thanks, I will give it a go.
Made a mistake in my last post, it is actually only gmail which isnt working properly. My hotmail account is working fine.

Hi,
I have no idea why, but I don't get any push notifications from Facebook Messenger. There is no sound, no vibraitions, nothing in notications. And yet, in the app itself I see that someone wrote to me.
Symptoms:
No notifactions
No chatheads
Full Facebook app itself does notifactions: it tells me about new friends, birthdays etc. Also: when I open a new conversation via Facebook app, it creates that chathead bubble. And with that pinned to my screen I can get atleast some sounds.
When I manage apps, under Messenger, I usually have two services: ChatHeadService and MqttPushService (sometimes also EventService and
I still get notifications from other apps, like SMS, Facebook itself, Google Play etc.
What I did:
I cleared all the cache and app data for Facebook and Messenger (multiple times!)
I reinstalled both Facebook and Messenger
I restarted my phone and did Wipe Cache via Recovery.
I double checked if I have notifications enabled both in my Messenger app and in Application Settings
I have enabled synchronization.
Nothing worked. And yes, until... I have no idea what, everything worked just great.
I'm using Galaxy S4 i9505 with I9505XXUEMJ7. And Messenger/Facebook are the newest, freshly installed versions from the market.
Do you have ANY idea how to fix my problem? Maybe there is some KNOX block or whatever that I'm not aware of?
Out of the Blue, the exact same symptoms. Everything was working fine until a few weeks ago. Suddenly, facebook messenger gives me no notifications at all.
What I tried more was installing older facebook and messenger versions without any luck!
My device is Galaxy S4 i9505 with XXUFNB9 no root
My problem was on Facebook side.
Try creating totally new account and log in with it into your Phone. Check if you recieve notifications.
If yes, go to Facebook settings and delete all (ALL) apps that you have connected. From what I gathered the problem was in one of the apps that probably was stealing all the attention.
Yeap! I disabled all apps from Facebook settings and... blink! Notifications! Don't know which app did the trick but don't really mind. Thank you for your time!! :laugh:

It's been a while since i did it but it should word...
Just wondering is there a site or something that I could try the push notifications? Im trying to get rid of Facebook software as much as I can and Chrome push notifications would be a nice alternative but for some reason they dont work. I got one but nothing after that. I need the notifications so what are my options?
Stock rooted 6.0.1. with Greenify and all the other normal apps in use. Chrome is not Greenified so it should not be about that.
So far I have tried normal Chrome, Chrome Beta and Chrome Dec versions and same thing. Found a site that enables you to try the notification and at least screen on it works at that site. Any idea why it does not work in Facebook.
I used Disa as an alternative for FB Messenger, some others reported better battery life after getting rid of messenger. I used it for a week and didnt see much improvement, then went back to messenger and battery life was about the same.
I did un-install Facebook in favor of "SlimFacebook" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-slimfacebook-1mb-0-permissions-t3254174)

I just want to get rid of Facebook software in my phone but I need the chat part of it and the notifications. Chrome push notifications would be perfect but they just don't work and I have no idea why. It worked maybe once or twice and after that it stopped working. Any clues how to fix them.

Bump
I noticed this on my S7 Edge after it was updated to Nougat and it persists on the S8.
I've noted that apps like Facebook Messenger and Nine (Email) sleep much differently than before. Facebook Messenger will often appear "disconnected" as when I open the app, it has to "reconnect". My email app, Nine, is also not pushing as often when the app isn't open either causing a bit of delay in receiving emails.
Has anyone else noticed their apps not sleeping the same and losing connectivity since Nougat / S8.
I have noticed this too, also happened on my Pixel.
So possibly a Nougat issue then?
Anyone else experiencing this?
Yep, I almost gave up on this phone until I found that you should disable optimization for import push apps. Ever since I did this, no more delays.

Just did this for Nine and Facebook Messenger. Will let you know how I make out. Thanks so much!!
So far, Facebook Messenger has not disconnected when the phone is sleeping. Will be able to confirm Nine back to normal tomorrow once I get a bunch of emails.
Looks like I'm resolved now!
Awesome! That what this community is about.
