Facebook Notifications. - T-Mobile LG G2x

So when i had my Mytouch Slide with the stock rom and everything the Facebook notifications would rarely work. And then when facebook came out with many update they worked every now and then and uselly were very delayed.
Then i rooted it and put a custom 2.2 rom that was much much much more stock android.
After i did this the Facebook notifications always worked ontime and everytime.
Now....... I upgraded to the G2X which runs stock (or pretty much stock) Android as im sure you all know.
But the facebook notifications arent working again like when i had the stock Slide. And when they do work they are really really delayed.
I thought that they would work pretty well since the phone was stock android.
Any thoughts. Any settings i can change or w/e

Mine work fine. In the facebook app I have refresh set to never and notifications on. This enables push notifications instead of the app refreshing to check for notifications.

OOOO ok. mine was set to 1hr with active notifications. I changed it to never to see if that fixes it.

Mine works good too.
When you leave the Facebook app don't back out of hit, just hit the home button so it stays running and also make sure you are not using a task killer.
G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!

Yep, go in the main page (where you can see the different icons and the notifications), then press the Menu button
Devices Supported
Is it a universal update or is it for some devices?
Does anyone have the apk please?
All i can say about current 1.5 update is CRAP..total crap.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S running Froyo 2.2. Here is the bug list.
1. Login to FB from PC and open chat. Now click on "Go Offline". Now open FB app on phone and open CHAT section. Your friend list will not load even after waiting for 30 min on a 1 mbps wifi connection.
2. CHAT UI is simply crap. Now we have 3 groupings , "Active Conversations" , "Available" and "Idle". We don't need grouping at all simply show a single list with GREEN color on right for Active(not idle) and Orange for Inactive like we have in Gtalk for Android.
Also , if we are chatting with any friend , Just make same UI change in the Single Main list to indicate it ass Active chat.
In-short, just mimic what Gtalk for Andorid app does. Keep It Simple Guys.
3. CHAT is not working and need proper testing. try this.
Login to FB from PC , start Chat. Now hit "Go Offline". next, open FB app in mobile and enter chat section, Your Chat friend list will never ever load friends. it will simply show "Loading......"
4. Sound notification for Chat is not working. I am 200% sure that i have set a tone to notify me of incoming chat.
5. When i enter FB app on Phone , give is option to auto-login to chat or not. and notify us about same.
6. if we enter chat and return to home screen, i get logged out. WTF is this ? I am supposed to be logged in chat.
7. PUSH notifications : All i can say is "WTF" !!!!!
Reason: PUSH on iPhone and BB is REAL INSTANT. And if its TRUE Push , why do we see "Refresh Interval" option in Settings section ? If its PURE PUSH , we don't need this at all. If its for those running OS < 2.2 then fine.. However , if i choose ""Refresh Interval" at xx hours and set "Notifications to Active" and ticked all below options , I am still not receiving any PUSH notifications when i am on home screen. However when i enter the app , i get it. Is this you call PUSH ?
Dear Facebook, Go and test your app before you release it to the masses.
I turned off refresh interval to none, and turned off all notifications ticks, but left "notification" ticked, and it seems to push almost instantly.
as far as checking on battery drain. that is to be determined since i tinker with roms, apps and other stuff a lot!
but so far the push part works on 2.2..
but the app is still millions of years behind the iFail. come on FB dont you know that more people are useing Android then then IOS.

a friend using HTC DESIRE and all is working at his end..which phone you use ?
I guess its problem with all Samsung users
I am useing a Samsung Captivate with a 2.2 rom installed
[ROM]Perception Build 8 (CogKernel2, Voodoo5, 1280Mhz OC/UV, tons of tweaks)
but , i do not think it worked too well last night, so it might have been a bug when it came out.
No push here (T-Mobile G2, stock with BaconBits kernel). Googling was no help, seems like a crapshoot if you get push correctly or not.
Actually push works fine on the Galaxy S, last night push wasn't working properly for me but i'm guessing that was Facebook's fault, as it wasn't working properly on my PC either. Works instantly now, but i took the advice someone said earlier about unticking etc and i'll see how that works out.
Push notifications not working on Evo running CM6.1. So frustrating!

Take a breather, man. There are some kinks but it's a step in the right direction. Just a few months ago the FB app was almost completely useless.
I don't have any problems on my DZ thankfully. Haven't used the chat extensively but everything works fine including push.
Update :
1. I get PUSH notification instantly when i am IN App else not.
2. If I am on homescreen ,and if a frnd of mine ping me for chat on FB, chat msg is received but no Sound at all

I got the same thing for the IN APP push, and not just anywhere in the app, but I had to be on the app's homescreen where the notifications bar sits. Even weirder was that the notification tone was <i>max</i> volume when it happened, like Facebook overrode the regular notification volume that everything else uses. I'm not really sure that it even qualifies as push, either, since the only way I could see if I had notifications before was to check that same screen. This was the only time I just happened to be on the screen when a notification came through.

Notifications

Why do I not see one thread discussing notifications? Given we don't have kernel source, BLN is not possible, but seems it would be useless anyway considering how dim the blacklights are. Also, it appears NoLED does not support the charge yet. What's everyone doing for notifications on this thing?!?!
Noled works just fine on the charge

Hmmmm wtf, I've got widget on and tried reboot, still nothing...Will dig further...Looks like this is all we will ever have though for notifs tho
Just a couple of tips; Download Handcent SMS(not sure if you can do this with stock) and change the settings to turn the screen on when you receive an SMS. If that still doesn't get your attention just set it so you receive an update every 1-15 mins if you don't check the unread messages.
I spent 2 years without a notification LED and didn't see a point to it. Loud notification alert + screen on works fine for me.

I prefer GoSMS over Handcent, way more efficient, cleaner, more features...screen does turn on when I recieve it, but if I'm out and phone is in my pocket and can't hear/feel it, I used to just take a quick glance to see if BLN was on...Rather dissapointed they didn't put an LED in here...Will look into the update thing though, thanks
NoLED works great on my charge. There is a setting for delaying it for popup txts and I have that on. You do have to be using the Glass or Puzzle lock screen for it to work, if you're on a custom rom.

Android M Doze and gmail sync.

Right This is probably more an android in geenral thing...
When I'm using my computer I tend to use my N5 as a notification device for emails (ever since google disabled support for gmail notifier).
Anyways, that's worked quite well for some time, my phone happily rings away whenever I get emails or I see the notification LED flashing away to let me know there's something there...until I've installed the OTA for Marshmallow.
Because of Doze and leaving the phone alone for quite a while at a time...it doesn't sync my gmail whenever i get a mail...which is kind of annoying as I do like to get my mail notifications as they come in.
Since monday I've been searching around trying to figure out if there's any way to get gmail to sync during doze but so far I havent had any luck at all...I'm starting to feel like it's impossible to keep gmail syncing during doze due to googles decision it shouldn't :| And I'm very much tempted to revert to 5.1.1.
Any ideas? Thanks
Go into battery, click the three dots icon and go to battery optimisation. Then select all apps from the drop down list, find gmail and select don't optimise.
Haven't tried it myself but the help sort of indicates this will stop apps from dozing[emoji4]. Worth a try anyway!
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks for the reply, that's the first thing i tried.
Left it alone a while, sent myself a test email and...nothing. Left it 10 minutes and as soon as i turned the screen on it sync'd :|
Ah that's annoying. I wonder if setting Android System or some of the other system type apps to not optimised too would ensure the various syncs run?

Apparently high priority notifications from google cloud messaging wake the phone up but that obviously doesnt include gmail! :|
Yeah I've been messing with it since monday now and I still can't get gmails to come through when it's in doze...
I tested it by sending 2 emails to myself but nothing...while hangouts messages came through each and every time...about 10 of them came through instantly as i sent them...
so i guess my only hope might be for google to make gmail notifications high priority like hangouts? Unless anybody else knows how yet?
My ElementalX rooted nexus 5 receives pushed Gmail immediately with sound and display. I didn't try it before rooting though.
Gmail was "Dozed"
Hi
Just to add some information on this. Doze is very aggressive, it stops all notifications from Googles Messaging Cloud Service, except those sent with high priority. It is a ping from Googles Messaging service that wakes up Gmail to alert you of a new message, but in Doze these are all stopped with the exception of those pings that are sent with High priority. Hangouts get sent with high priority, so these do ping through, but Gmail pings are sent with normal priority.
Calls and text messages are received by the modem part of the phone which runs outside of Android, this chip raises an event by signalling on a wire which Android will respond to, so calls and texts still arrive even when in Doze.
Putting Gmail as an exception to battery optimisation doesn't change this behaviour regarding pings from Google, not sure if that has changed on 6.0.1.
Why Google hasn't made Gmail messaging pings high priority I do not know, perhaps Gmail is a particular battery drain if receiving these pings constantly, or maybe their back end systems can't cope with all the extra Gmail alerts in their system as high priority.
Regards
Phil
It started happening to me on lollipop and even in ios
For me this started even on Lollipop a few weeks ago, too. Has been working flawlessly for years before that. But now sometimes Gmail notifications would get through, sometimes not. So it's not necessarily because of MM's Doze but a problem with Gmail itself. I've been looking around, there was opened an issue at AOSP issue tracker >here<. It has been fixed apparently, but not yet released.
It's 2018, and i am using LG Nexus 5 with Marshmallow (v6.0.1) and this problem STILL occurs for me. And its precisely how @pillipL described it in page 1. It's only specific to GMail...Hangouts gets thru fine eveyr time. So its like a high priority issue. And the battery optimization (turn off optimize) doesnt help.

Is there a push email service that works with this phone?

i use gmail only. otherwise adore this phone but there are no email apps that work with getting instant notifications for email.
How is this possible? are there any apps that work? Theres no way Huawei would put this phone out with this issue...
I receive both gmail and exchange push notifications all the time, using the native gmail app and the email app for exchange.

the gmail app updates randomly. every time i unlock the screen, the gmail icon shows up and all of a sudden I have unread emails in the inbox.
if i use the native mail app, will this issue be corrected?
Do you have them whitelisted in the power usage firewall?
This is a real issue, I set every single setting possible to try and rectify this problem but I can't. It doesn't appear to affect everyone but I can confirm if affects me.
Never had any issues with Hangout or Whatsapp though like other have had.
I'm not sure if it's hardware revision, software version or what makes it not work for some, very frustrating. I've tried most roms, root, no root, using gmail, using built in mail, using other mail programs but the same results.

Root and update rom after my guide?
I have already root and update rom but I am experiencing the same issue as the OP. I have tried EVERYTHING.
Move to app-sys, change doze settings, protect apps, clear dalvik cache and everything I can think of.
Telegram works, whatsapp works but NO email works.
I have tried typeapp/bluemail/gmail/normal mail. None works.
As soon as I lid up the screen all notifications come. When my phone is on the charger all notification comes.
So clearly this has something to do with power management. I am thinking of selling my phone because of this. In my work I MUST HAVE PUSH WORKING. Otherwise the phone is of no use.
Such a great device otherwise, one of the best if not the best I've ever had. Switched from galaxy s6 to this. But WHY HUAWEI ARENT YOU SOLVING THIS ISSUES.
A google search shows the issue has been there since mate 7 and even longer time ago.
I'm not stating this will work for everyone but I'm currently no longer experiencing the gmail issue that I've had since day one and on every rom I've tried.
If you are bootloader unlocked and have some time then give this a go and feedback on your results please.
I've installed rayglobe rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-rayglobe-rom-t3315682
I then installed Doze from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-solving-notification-issues-root-t3294178
As detailed in the Doze instructions I applied tuhinxp04's profile and just change idle timeout and max idle timeout to 60 sec and 600 sec respectively.
gmail and Blackberry hub are working as expected for this first time since getting the phone 3 weeks ago. You may not have the same success but please give it a go
UPDATE: 8 minutes is the longest I've so far had to wait for an email to arrive. Not push but something I can live with. Whatsapp and Hangouts seems fine btw.
The solution of notification problems for all apps of huawei phones (emui) is this brilliance application
Memory Locker on Google play
Lock all of your apps that are having problem with this software and also Lock your app in recent app and see if it is fixed.
Cheers!
Gnasher666 the issue is that push is critical for me. I turn on my screen every 10mins anyway but email push is very critical. Every second 15 second counts and I need to be alerted directly.
I thought i solved it. It worked perfectly for 8 hours and then suddenly died after I recharged my battery. Was even going to write a guide on how I solved it haha but then it died again so no solution here.
I really dont know why its so difficult to make it work because some apps do work like telegram.
So what is so special about that app that works but not others....
I get your frustration, I don't need that timely a notification for emails - 10 - 15 minutes works. Prior to all the playing around I've done I could go from one unlock to the next without receiving a mail notification, so for me this is a great step forward. Obviously, this is a hack, we shouldn't have to do it in the first place and Huawei needs to resolve it. If they fix this issue I'd be able to say without any doubt this is the best phone I've had (and I've had a lot, including top end Androids, iPhone 6S plus etc).

read this (doze - android 6.0):
http://www.androidcentral.com/inside-marshmallow-what-doze-how-do-i-use-it-and-what-does-it-do
You'll still get notified when "high-priority" apps need your attention. That means things like phone calls or SMS messages can get through (and thus waking up your dozing phone) as well as any app that declares itself as high-priority. Other things, like email notifications or Clash of Clans telling you your gold mine has leveled up aren't going to come in and wake your phone up.
This doesn't mean you never get any notifications while your phone is idle. Google uses what they call an "Idle maintenance window" where they pick up any notifications that may be available in one big batch. Then your phone can quickly go back to sleep.
When you wake your phone by side button, notiffication will arive immediatly (sorry 4 bad english)
not confirming anything - but memory locker may work. i set -17 to outlook after disabling gmail and I am getting instant emails. more testing until confirmation.
after powering off and on again, had to do all the settings again. so strange, like it sometimes works.

email notifications issues

I switched off the stock email APP because it was showing the wrong number of mails on the icon.
I went back to Bluemail which I had used on my Moto Z without issue, took that off and now have Typeapp but same problem - no incoming email notification sound on either?
Any thoughts?

OK if you have done all the necessary settings (all permissions, notifications settings, ignoring Android optimization) then....
You have the same problem either if you leave the app open in resent apps?
This is a more general problem than just with BlueMail.
If you look back a few weeks you'll find a thread about MailDroid, that doesn't give a proper notification tone. I've had to change to Blue Mail, and it does notify properly for me. However when I first used it the app didn't always pick up a mail until I brought it out of lock. It seems to be OK now.
I think this is down to the Mate's aggressive battery-saving that is supposed to learn about app use.
And yes, I have checked the app settings and the phone settings over and over to make sure they are right.
Thanks for the replies. I tried another 3 APPS and all failed to play the notification when I sent a test mail from my PC.
I ended up back with an oldie I haven't used for years - K9 - and all is working as it should.
Not the most up to date look but if it works I'll settle for that. Four APPS with all the settings to key in and then delete it took me to midnight last night... enough was enough
Glad to hear you have found a substitute that works.
With so many different apps being affected, I'm sure there is a system problem with notifications. Hopefully this will be sorted with a future update.
Outlook works fine. Gmail is worse.
