Hi,
I am having this extreme annoying problem with Facebook Notifications. Even though this has to do with facebook fixing this stupid annoyance, i am looking for a solution until they actually think for the user and not for themselves.
Every time i am on the PC, whether i'm using Facebook Messenger or am actually browsing through facebook.com with the browser, if i get a notification, those of CHAT most of the time, i receive them on my phone as well. Now everything is fine and is working as it should, but i find it extremely annoying being notified on my phone when i am actually at the heart of facebook where nothing can pass away from my eyes (even ears)
I dont want to stop facebook messenger notifications (nor the facebook main app ones), i just want them to be ignored or call it NOT SENT when i am connected on the browser. There must be a way for facebook to prioritize the destination device (client, me) on where to send the notification or where not.
Regards.
Anything guys? im not a fan of double posts either.
If you haven't worked it out yet mate - this is nothing to do with anyone on XDA.
Yes, there is probably a way for Facebook to do what you want - so ask the guys at FB who are paid $100k+ to write the apps for that abortion of a social media site. I can't, for a minute, imagine that any Dev on XDA would waste their time taking apart a FB app (which would probably be contrary to XDA's terms and conditions) just to do this.
Bumping your post is not going to get you any help.
I've been a forum mod myself, i know the annoyance i am creating and i know the pain it causes, but believe me i am not proud of it, it is just killing me getting a notification at both places at the same time.
The reason why i'm asking is to look if anyone found a workaround, and i am amazed to see people not being annoyed by this matter.

That excuse is up there along with;-
"I don't want to interrupt you, but ..." - Yes you do or you wouldn't be doing it.
There is no workaround other than disabling notifications on FB. They probably don't want to allow people to turn them off as most people seem to thrive on getting notifications for FB as it makes them feel all important, so getting the notification twice makes them feel twice as important.
I would've found three better methods explaining your workarounds lets say in a more humane way. Remember, people ask questions to get answers, especially on a general discussion board.
Thanks anyway.
Hi,
I am unsuccessfully looking for an app that works kinda similar to the HTC dock mode app, however I want it to display unread email and text notifications. I dont really need the mp3 player, or the other bells and whistles, just a clock and the notifications as if it was the lock screen witht he addition of preventing the phone going to sleep. I guess weather would be nice too, but no big deal. Does anyone know of anything like this homebrew or otherwise?
Thanks in advance
There's an app that dynamically updates the lock screen with that kind of thing (recent messages, weather, etc.) called LockWidgets. However, I don't know of a similar app that doesn't use the lock screen at all.

Thanks GoodDayToDie, I was trying to get the phone to prevent locking whilst on charge. I know its not possible to happen automatically without the resistor mod on the cable, but I dont mind starting the app manually. Ive used LockWidgets, its good but not quite what I want here unfortunately.
I dont know anything about programming, but theoretically can an app access the unread message counters?
TIA
Cheebs
Theoretically, of course one can. There's no official API for it that I'm aware of, but there obviously is *some* API or the current lockscreen app couldn't do it.
Practically, I don't know if anybody has done so yet. They might just be stored in the registry, like so much else. Alternatively, you could use the MAPI (Mail/Messaging API) to query the message stores directly.
Thanks for your help. Maybe its time to look into this a bit deeper.

Fine App, similar to SplenDO, but not so pretty
Is there any option to sync?

Disagree, this is much prettier!
You can sync your private task lists with Google Tasks (from settings). But when you send task to someone, theres no way to sync it for now.
I just installed the app, looks nice, with clean interface, which I like more than those complicated apps.
I have few comments that I'd like to see in future updates:
1- The apps misses an option for recurring tasks, sometimes I want to do the same task same time every week or month, like paying a bill or watch a TV show, etc... so it would be great if you add this option.
2- It would be great if you have more advanced reminder option, currently it just gives a notification with the default system tone, which can be easily missed. it might be better if we can assign a different tone so that when I hear it, I notice that this is the reminder for a task from your app. you might also add an alert window with some options like dismiss or remind later after 10 mins or so.
These 2 requests will make your app much better in my opinion. and I can say they are very basic, so if you want to make some Plus or Pro version these should be in the free versions, and other options can follow for the Plus one, like syncing, etc...
Good luck and thanks for the nice app

SplenDO looks fine, but I did not find the way to send tasks to my friends.

Thanks for your comments.
1. Recurring tasks are on my task list. They should be in upcoming updates.
2. Good point with the custom ring tone. I'll try to implement it. Now there are action buttons in notification, where you can "snooze" the task for defined amount of time (settings). If you star the task and set due date, then no notification is shown but fullscreen alarm is displayed from where you can take action - you'll never miss that! You can try
Once again thanks for useful comments.

SplenDO doesn't have sharing tasks with friends, because it is task list for personal use only and in this case it is the best and most useful.
BTW, Still, one of the task option in SplenDO is "Share" in androidial meaning
Very nice application!
I think I found a bug though! When I try setting the location of the task on "walking"the app crashes! l have the version downloaded here on your post and I'm using a Note 10.1 on stock Touchwiz Rom android 4.1.2

I tried and yes the full screen reminder is awesome .. but there is no clue for the user that it's there for the favorite tasks, I missed it .. also I dont know why you chose to make it silent with vibration. it should have sound with the custom ringtone I mentioned before.
good work though

I'm looking forward to trying this out.
When you get around to the reoccuring tasks, can you make that rather customizable?
The typical entries are:
Year/Month/Week/Day
If you could set the number, such as ever 10 days or 3 weeks, would make it able to handle a bunch of odd tasks.

I'll try to make it simple and customizable so you can handle your every 3 weeks tasks
Unfortunately I can't guarantee you date when it will be released...
Google Tasks Sync
I installed the app and told it to sync with my Google account. It did the whole permissions and syncing thing, but then it only pulled two of my four task lists and they are both blank in the app even though they each have more than 20 tasks in them. It's been a few hours now and all of my other Google things have been syncing properly. Any ideas?

It seems that our app exceeded limit for Google Tasks API queries per day. So all sync requests will fail. We sent request for increasing the limit. I hope this issue will be solved soon.
With a heavy heart i have to keep my SEx1 aside and have entered to Android Ecosystem.
I'm a customized freak & made my X1 ROM super stable with my super minimalistic custom rom's, im still going to use that as my primary portable music gear, but for rest of the things Google Nexus 5 is the new companion.
Kitkat is whole new world for me, used gingerbread a a little bit but both are poles apart. hence need some suggestion to keep myself educated with latest trends and tech. Please ignore my noobe-tagged question. So here i start:
No Lollipop ? ?
As broadcasted nexus devices should be the first one to get Android 5.0, Lollipop.
Im yet to get any update & currently running 4.4.4. Any words on when could i expect Lollipop upgrade in my device.
[I don't want to root/ flash until my device is out of warranty].
Contact Backup & Google sync:
a) When starting the device for first time, it prompted me to use google account credential, i did, and it dumped all thousands of my gmail contact in phonebook. Too bad. i have manually deleted all of them from phonebook. and switched-off auto sync.
b) it refused to sync my contact form X1, which was back uped in outlook under win7. Found an alternative, transfered all my contact via bluetooth to nexus 5 and imported them one-by-one. Again when importing in batches, it gives error, which is kind of helpful for me. I only imported selected contact and not the obsolete 8 yrs old contacts
Now the question: How my Sync my contacts without downloading email-contact from gmail. Another gmail account doesn't seems to be ideal as i use email, calendar, drive from this mail. Please suggest.
Customization:
a) I like to keep my phone at minimals. used mycolorscreen- Themer for few days, which let me customize to what i want till great extent. but its getting corrupt by it own at random times, spoiling my widgets location & functionalities and sometime replacing wallpaper with "black" and have uninstalled it now.
Do we have anything similar to HTC / touchflow full screen animated weather for android? roa any alternative to themer which let me customize N5?
b) Lockscreen customization like changing the background according to themer wallpaper and add few information like battery level, weather, etc. I goggled DashClock please let me know what you guys think about it or any other recommendation.
Few App recommendation
Fitness tracker : currently using Pedometer by j4velin, which is good, but it doesn't give me much control, no difference in distance covered if you running or walking, no actual track of distance covered as it derived from the stride length we enter in the setting. Any recommendation in this please ? should i try Google fit app ?
Pulse Light Controller N5 seriously missing "things" in this department, apart from default white glow of unleaded sms, i never noticed any other indication. they should have provided a notification for low-battery and missed call. Currently using Light Flow but i hate its presence always in my notification area. what's XDA's thoughts in this please? I dont need anything with bells and whistles, just a minimal app which show me red light when my battery is low & some other-then-white-color from unreaded SMS & missed calls.
Vibrate on call connect Got ExDailer but im clueless how to make it the default dialer. Also i liked the stock dialer is there any way to make it vibrate when a call connects, i have to install 3rd party app on my phone
Cache cleaner
as im playing installing, uninstalling lots of stuffs these in these experimenal days what would be a recommended app for this, if its mandatory. have used this bloatware Clean Master in my X10i earlier which killed the phone in multiple ways. any other recommendation please, i just want to clean junk files and do not want any antivirus and gold plating.
Thanks in advance.
- bump -

OTAs are a rollout. They don't give it to everyone at the same time.
You can sideload the OTA instead of waiting, and you don't have to unlock the bootloader for that.
There is also no point in "keeping warranty" since the only way to tell is if you have bootloader unlocked/or tamper flag is left triggered. Bootloader is easily re-locked and the tamper flag isn't that big of a deal to reset unlike on many other devices (you can do it with apps lol..). There is no other way to tell unless you blatantly have modified software. Of course, if the device was defective to the point where it doesn't boot up, then the bootloader/tamper flag/any sort of software doesn't even matter anyways. Also, if you bought from the Play Store, Google will even let you send it in with a custom ROM and kernel if you wanted to.

Mass delete your obsolete contacts from gmail: https://www.google.com/contacts/ then sync them afterwards.

I don't use fitness trackers so I can't say anything about them. The Nexus 5 has a hardware pedometer rather than using sensors like accelerometer/gps/etc to determine steps, which saves a LOT of battery but obviously can't determine distance.
There are a multilude of LED apps.
Cache cleaners are useless since you can wipe cache in recovery anyways, including stock recovery. If you mean for cleaning in general, I don't use anything myself as I don't find it any necessary, but some others do.

Are far as this is concerned, there really isn't any big thing with the Nexus 5 that would not be applicable to other phones. Just read around the forums to see if anything piques your interest.
Thanks for the reply.
I will wait some more time for official OTA update, in the meantime exploring the device. once i done i will do a factory reset anyways
contact things is easier to manage in Gmail interface, thanks for pointing out. Took hours to clean all the contact, but feel good after housecleaning
good afternoon all,
i have been waiting for google to implement a reminders api for a while now, but since they evidently refuse im looking for a new alternative..
i have many repeating things to remember like "give the dog his medicine", "pay the water bill", "pay the auto insurance", "submit timesheet", "pay the HOA", etc, etc, etc... most of these are monthly things, some bi-weekly, some yearly.. but all are repeating reminders that i would like to see on my home screen.
all i want is a NICE LOOKING and customizable widget (that leaves google calendar widget out), that will show these reminders for me in an "agenda" type view on the home screen. i realize that i may (probably will have to) recreate all my reminders in another program, but that is ok, im willing to do that. if it cant display in an "agenda" style, then a "calendar view" would also work.
i would have thought that this kind of functionality would simply "just work" but for some reason, after numerous searches, and posts going back almost 10 years ago.. this basic functionality seems to be missing from android.
i did not really have a problem with exchange, but when i dropped exchange and moved over to google services, this has been something that is still bothering me. what do others use for this type of thing?
thanks!
I've been using MemoWidget from Playstore. Very light and customizable...
