[Q] Problem - Facebook

I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy 3 today and installed facebook. I'm having problems with getting notifications from messages and comments made from other people about my status etc... I have gone to the settings in the application and activated so the notififications, no good!
I know the iphone sends a notification to the user when someone makes a comment about your status etc, does the samsung do the same thing??

If you have 2.1 then facebook doesnt support push notifications
Flash a 2.2 rom
i didnt get even after flashing many roms
But you can try
Also try Flow for Facebook
it has push notifications and yes it works but in 2.2 and above only it supports push notifications

No worries thanks, so i need to try Flash 2.2?? And try flow for Facebook?? If so how do i do these? Sorry to ask all these questions I'm not the mobile type, working on it!!

Whatsapp notification woes driving me crazy!

So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here

I emailed whatsapp support, got and automated response, i'll post if I get any updates

Hi,
I just recently switched to a samsung galaxy s4 ( two actually, one for me,
one for GF), before that we used iphone 4 and 4s, never had an issue with
whatsapp notifications until I switched this passed friday. The issue is
once the phone goes into sleep mode, be it mobile data or wifi, I have to
force close the app and open again to receive notifications that I got
hours ago if I don't continously check.
I've googled the hell out of it and found your FAQ, as well as plenty other
sites with the same issue except no solution.
From your FAQ:
1. tried re-installing directly from direct download link (
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk) and not from play
store
2. tried rebooting.
3. notifications are set properly
4. google+ is disabled ( hangouts) ( tried enabling it, same result)
5. Wifi is set to always on.
Note this is on stock, brand new phones and apparently it's a wide spread
issue:

and asking in forums.

Sadly, both

Do you lock the screen while whatsapp is open? Or do you choose whatsapp and then lock the screen?
If whatsapp is still running and on the screen, and you lock the screen, it's like the app just stops checking.. I've had this with multiple phones and its a whatsapp problem, not the phone.

So basically your solution was leave whatsapp on screen and push lockscreen?

No, the opposite. For me, whatsapp only worked and checked for msgs if i closed the app and then locked the screen. I would usually come back to the homescreen or something. But if i locked over whatsapp, it would stop checking or take a really long time.
But since you say you've done both, I'm kinda stumped.

The try backing out of whatsapp before locking the screen. That should fix your problem. Its a whatsapp issue.

I have tried that as well :/
Currently trying to installing .763, updated from .762, but whatsapp servers are probably getting busted as can't even verify my number.

Bro install Whatsapp+.
Google and download the apk,install and see if it helps.
If not, the only way is to root the S4 and install push notification fixer from play store. It modifies andriod to check for msges every 5mins. That will solve your problem for sure.

Hey mate,
I've probably tried all apps or methods by insanity to try getting this problem fixed. Unfortunately, nothing positive turned out.
Now I'm trying to off my screen when whatsapp is open, however, I still think it's unbelievably stupid to do so even if it works to get push notification. How can I go back to whatsapp whenever i wanna put the phone back in my jeans pocket? It then seems whatsapp would become the new homescreen?!?!?
Anyone got a real solution to this???

Also having this problem. Screen off, screen on - sometimes whatsapp just doesn't want to receive/send messages. Other times it's working properly.
Have you guys disabled Samsung Push? Have you disabled any system apps at all? Also, do you have the problem even when your phone has a good signal?
I'm also trying to find out the reason for this problem.

I do disable some system app like weather, finance and stuff like those. To me, what I can confirm is the independence of problem from the signal strength since I've been using the same service provider before upgrading to Jelly Bean and there used to be problem free with the push notification.
This is the result I got last night:
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> homescreen -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> free ram -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> screen off = push
Conclusion:
- it is not related to free ram
- it is the problem that the andriod system turn off the app upon screen off (or sleep)
Plus.
I tried installing Push Notification Fixer to introduce "heartbeat" to maintain the connectivity, unfortunately, it DOES NOT work in my case.
Let's keep in view the development. At least we are not alone and hope either Whatsapp or Google can fix this.

Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
It's a thread which guides you how to disable some allegedly useless google services in order to save battery life when idle. It works, but I think it might have been what's caused my whatsapp to go crazy. I even asked in the thread and some others have the same problem.
But if most other people in this thread haven't disabled said google services, that doesn't make any sense.

Mate. Trust me i know this issue exist on all andriod. i googled the hell out of it because i quarrelled with my partner a few times due to delay in replies. its just the way the kernel is written for stock andriod. you can try everything but it wont work. your only solution is to root and install push notification fixer from play store.

This isn't an issue with android it's an issue with whatsapp. Every android phone I've ever owned has had this issue with whatsapp. Whatsapp need to update their app so it still notifies if it was the last app open whilst the screen locks.
I just press home after I reply and let it lock its second nature to me. The bug is in whatsapp where if it is the last displayed whilst screen lock notifications don't work. You could try changing the conversation tone that might help.

That's wrong... It was perfectly fine, instantly receiving whatsapp messages in my phone no matter what. Something I've changed caused it to stop working.
My problem isn't only the notifications, it's the actual whatsapp messages aswell. Something killed the Whatsapp wakelocks, now my whatsapp isn't causing any wakelocks and when the phone is idle it does not check for messages.

WhatsApp push notifications (Doze?)

I am having real problems with WhatsApp on the P8Lite. I'm on firmware B564. In short, despite the fact that WhatsApp is a protected app and it is set to "ignore optimisations", I often don't get WhatsApp push notifications until I open the app, at which point I receive a flood of them. I'm also using ForceDoze so I can edit the inactive_to setting to 10000000ms, which if I'm correct should instruct Doze not to kick in for a few hours after I stop using my phone.
Can anyone help me on this? I really don't want to roll back to Lollipop. Thanks!

Solution
Enable background data for Google Play Services app and allow notifications as well for this app.
(PS This solutions is mentioned also in the FAQ from whatsapp )

Do you mean allow priority notifications? Does this override Do Not Disturb, because I don't want that.

Google Duo

Anyone faces the same scenario that google duo exits when closing recents apps, I also tried it in my S8 but still same? I have a friend using huawei but this doesn't happens to him

No problem here. Maybe you need to reformat again

They recently updated Duos to show a floating window while outside of the app. I was having the same issues until it updated.

Are you also using the same version as mine? As im not seeing an update. I dont have any floating window.
It already became a habit to clear all my recent apps after using an app. So accidentally ending the active call kind of annoys me.

Yes, it should be on.
Btw, I forgot to mention that this only happens during a voice call. If I'm on a video call, it doesn't exit even if I clear recent apps

I am also using the stock messaging app and don't have "chatbots". Unless you are referring to the Network Messages, where it's a message to a small phone number. Are they grouped under 1 thing, then you can see all of the different one's? Facebook has this kind of visual setting, I'm not sure if this if what you are referring to though.
Can you show me a screen shot now?
I'll help figure this out with ya!

Also, go into the Chatbots conversation, and then show me what that looks like.

I gotta run that OTA fixer.
What are the settings pages for Chats and for Wireless Alerts?

Chat settings and wireless alert settings.
Any help is appreciated it's been bothering me since it showed up

@RypeDub if you can get the messaging .apk off your phone before upgrading I can try to install it on my phone and see if it resolves the problem.
Kind of a manual work around but if we can get the .apk somewhere it'll at least be a solution for now.

How do you do that? I'll help out before I run the OTA fixer

I downloaded Package Manager: App info, APK Analyze & backup by Sarangal
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sarangal.packagemanager&hl=en_US
In that app you should be able to "share" and fire it into an e-mail to yourself then onto xda, or possibly google cloud, or do a back up and manually pull it off the phone.
I'm sure there are other package managers that can do the same as well.

That looks like the Google messaging app not the default OnePlus messaging app. At least when I downloaded it that what it's showing up as and when clicking "view in play store" it goes to the Google messaging app. Either way I'm not able to install it as it's failing. I'll mess with it a little more possible tomorrow. Thank for trying!
