Problems with Official Twitter for Android app. - Android Apps and Games

Hello All!
I have been having some issues with the Official Twitter app available on the market and was wondering if anyone else is running into the same problems and may have some solutions to these problems:
1. For some reason twitter will randomly start up while my screen is off and chew through my battery until i catch it. I will put my phone in my pocket and take it out 20 mins later to my battery level being down 10% or more from when i last checked it and twitter taking over half my battery life in battery stats. I have data syncing off in the app and use a data enabler to save battery. what can this be?
2. I have my twitter contacts synced to my phone. For some reason I cannot access a twitter profile through their contact profile on the phone itself. I get a "Cannot receive tweets at this time. Please try again later" error, and trying later doesn't fix it .
Does anyone else have these issues? To be honest I'm thinking about ditching the Official app all together and using tweetdeck. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Google+ instant upload stopped working

Google+ instant upload of photos used to work on my Infuse, but has stopped working for unknown reasons. I tried clearing the app's data, but the problem persists. (Instant upload of videos has never worked.)
In my Infuse's Google+ settings, Instant Upload is enabled, and it's set to "photos and videos via mobile networks". (The setting for "only when charging" is disabled. Roaming Uploads is disabled, but I'm at home with an H+ connection.)
Stock ROM, not rooted.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to stop it from recurring?
I have this problem as well! any ideas anyone?
Yeppers - same problem here on the DX2. Google+ auto upload worked perfectly on my previous DX and even on this one when I first got it a few months ago. I thought it might have been a security app I was trying out (Lookout), but even after uninstalling that it won't upload. I'm interested to see if the new update in the pipes fixes the problem.
I find it weird that hardly anyone else has this problem, because there seem to be very few posts concerning it. I'm wondering if this is a feature many people are not using and therefore don't care if it works...

facebook for android notifications

guys, please help me out, whenever I touch a notification, nothing happens, in facebook for android app, It worked perfectly till 2 days ago but now, since I don't have my PC, it is disturbing me a lot.
I have this issue too (similar)
Honestly, the only push notifications I ever see from fb are messages, and when I try to click it, nothing happens.
I don't know how but they started working on their own again, maybe it was a temporary problem at facebook's server
I can't remember the last time I had a facebook notification. I've got notifications enabled but haven't seen any for a very long time, I just assumed it stopped working since Facebook Messenger was released
try and see if you get same problem with 3g or wifi. I had same problem but with 3g only and that is because it can take longer to load.
They stopped working for a while for me too but now they seem to be back. I haven't ever counted on them working because it's always been pretty spotty
Same error here
Maybe it's going to be a update with facebook app.
I get those notifications too and they are anoying.
It just about time to wait an update from FB devs.

If they were to ever put any actual care into their Android app... :/
Notifications for Facebook never seem to work. I have tried to unistall/reinstall, turn notifications off then back on, doesn't matter. They really need an overhaul of the app!
Yeah i had problems getting the notifications to work on android 2.3.6 on my note. They opened about half the time. I'm trying out ICS now and hopefully it'll work better!
Guys, Im on ICS resurrection remix for a time now, and the bugs you refer are still there, to me the app's faulty. Its only useful when you want to share a photo
is better use a web browser alternative
has been happening to me for the past few weeks. doesn't always happen though, more like randomly

Android battery issues. Any device.

Hello,
I have 4500+ contacts and 3600+ SMS.
When phone receives those contacts its battery instantly is starting to drain like crazy. I'm talking about 6 hours max in standby mode. SMS adds more to drainage, but not significant.
This is not device specific as those contacts have been on: HTC HD2, Galaxy S2, HTC One X, HTC Sensation XL and few more, but only android devices. Various roms on all devices except sensation.
Stock firmware had same issue.
Latest test was on HD2 (Nexus HD2 HWA rom, ver 2.3):
~300 contacts; 0 SMS; Exchange service; GPS, for about an hour; calls didn't exceed 2 hours, I think it's somewhere around hour actually.
8 to 20:00 without charging I had 30% left on battery.
4500 contacts and battery was at 20% mark at ~12:00
Anyone got something to say about this? Not having those contacts is not an option. Device that needs to work properly with those contacts is One X.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that contacts do not get synced at all. Last test was admitted by offline importing them with all syncs off, even e-mail.
Also I can't post in android general.
Have you ran a battery monitor app to see what exactly is using the battery?
I would suggest that you are making unreasonable demands of the phone - if 4500 contacts is causing it to have to work too hard - probably constantly syncronising - then you will probably have no choice but to change the way you do things.

Badass battery didn't show anything extraordinary. Tried without any synchronization, offline importing contacts.
I have really tested this theory of contacts draining battery so I'm certain it's only that.

Hi,
I was inspecting the similar problem and made some research at.
The problem is not in Android or the number of contacts, but the mail app that has a long time known bug which cause the battery drain.
If you are using just Gmail there are not problems.
Problematic app is corporate mail app which comes with the system.
Solutions:
1. Try to use some alternative corporate mail app from Google Play.
2. Export all contacts from corporate account to you Google account and use Gmail.
android phone is the costs of electricity
Simply sounds like you're syncing a lot of data a lot of the time. There's nothing that's magically going to save your battery if you're taxing it like that.

Hi,
I was expecting the same problem and found that it is related to usage of Exchange service (Corporate email account).
The bug was reported multiple times:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=30503
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253583
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307
They say that the problem was fixed, but when I checked the last time - it still exists.
Thank you for your answers.
Nothing to do with exchange or sync.
First, my HD2 lives on one charge 16+ hours with corporate account and syncs.
Please read this carefully.
Last test on HD2 was done with offline importing contacts, without any sync.
Without corporate account. Without any apps downloaded. Without WiFi on. Without BT on. Nothing, really nothing. Just contacts and google account with sync off (Just because stupid thing did't allow me to import contacts without it)
That is all.
btw, we have 500+ android devices and all of them run exchange service and none have reported battery issues. I got 2 android phones and none of them ever experienced battery drain from exchange and yet they just die when I put all those contacts.
Once again: I assure you that issue has nothing to do with exchange a.k.a. corporate account, as tests have been done without those in any form.
Woah dude. I'd say, you have far too many contacts and SMS. Lol. I think it has something to do with the syncing process? It will sure drain your battery like crazy if you're syncing thousands of contacts and messages.

[Q] Delayed push notifications - anyone else having this issue?

I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S3 that ran Android 4.1.2. Push notifications would come through pretty much instantly.
Now that I have my Nexus 5, I'm noticing that push notificiations are delayed. For example, I might receive an email on my PC saying that someone has posted on my Facebook timeline, but a notification doesn't pop up on my phone for 10-15 minutes later. Sometimes I get no notifications for a while because they're delayed, then the notification sound on my phone will go off 3 or 4 times in a row as a bunch of notifications from different apps have all arrived at once.
Also, sometimes I got no notification at all. For instance, I sold an item on eBay and usually I would get a notification that it has sold. On this particular occasion, no notification appeared. The same has happened with Facebook. Sometimes I will go to Facebook and find that a friend has written on my timeline, yet I didn't receive a notification about it on the phone.
I Googled this issue and found it was a problem that plagued the Nexus 4, so I'm wondering if it also affects the Nexus 5 too. Does anyone else have this issue with the Nexus 5? Is there any fix for it?
I get this too, but not very often. Most of the time I find my phone gets notifications before my PC or other phone does. But there are occasions, particularly when I'm not on WiFi, when I either get delayed notifications, or I won't get them at all, until I reconnect to WiFi.
It's been happening to me, including when I was running totally stock w/ locked bootloader. I'm on Sprint. Not sure if it's a data issue or phone issue.
Turning off wifi optimization solved my delayed corporate email (outlook) notification.
Thanks for the replies.
I'm having this issue while connected to Wi-Fi, although I haven't tested to see if the issue occurs via my mobile network as well. I have tried 2 factory resets, but that didn't fix it.
It's almost like, when the screen is off and the phone sleeps, it loses the ability to receive push notifications, but then after a while it suddenly regains it and that causes a bunch of notifications to arrive at once.
I've contacted Google support about it, so I'll see what they say.

Any update on this? What did they say? I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy.. I came from GS3 and notifications were instantaneous... on this one I have to open lets say Whatsapp every other minute to check if someone sent me a message... and even sometimes I open the app and it takes some time for the internet to "wake up" and finally refresh the app... it sucks... I would return my phone if this can't be fixed easily..
So any update or solution on this would be gratly appreciated. Thanks

Google ended up offering me a replacement phone, but that didn't go too well. The new phone they sent wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi network, so I contacted them to return it but they told me I had to return my original phone, get another replacement, and only then could I return the second one. Obviously, each time they sent out a phone they were putting holds on my credit card for £xxx so in the end I phoned up and complained. To cut a long story short, I still have the original phone and I haven't decided what to do yet.

Interesting, I have just turned this off on mine too to see.
I only get delays when I am connected to my home wifi (2.4 or 5GHz). Maybe it is because I only have a 4mb ADSL connection ...
I will check tonight if that fixes it and/or also try the PNF app.
any update or fix on this yet? this is driving me mad, every time I get a notification on twitter or my email my idol picks it up first and my phone gets it 8-9 minutes later even if I'm using it at that moment, anybody else get the delay even while using the device?
All of a sudden I have started facing this problem since the past few days
Yeah..same here

I am using Moto g and I think its an issue with KitKat rather than with the hardware or the network. My push notifications are being delayed and that wasnt the case with JB 4.2 on my earlier phones.
Very frustrating
I've not been getting google hangouts messages until 20-30 mins later. sometimes i never get a notification, but if i check hangouts i see a new message. Another times i only get the message on the computer, but never on the phone. if i go and clear the app data new messages show up
My push notifications were coming through very quickly up until 2 weeks ago. I have not changed devices, carriers, or installed any new apps. One day they were coming through fine, now they are delayed by up to 30 minutes. My phone has not installed any OS updates either.
I have factory reset my phone, once restoring from cloud, the other not restoring at all and setting up the phone from scratch. This is really irritating. It does it on mobile networks or wifi.
Moto G is frustrating
It's frustrating.
I searched google without obtaining a solution. Moto G and sometimes I get delayed notifications and not others.
Facebook does not even make the notifications. In Whatsapp I have to open it every 2 minutes to see if someone has written. What not to do. I'm bored with this phone.
No solution or google and motorola solve it. Cursed kitkat!
Anything new? This problem is old and comes from the Nexus 4. I really am very sad about it, not PNF solving this.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. It definitely started after i upgraded my s2 to kitkat rom back in december. At first i thought it had to do with the PM sleep modes but none of them make a bit of difference. Ive goggled it to death and this thread is the only one ive found.
Currently im going to try the suggestion on the first page to turn off wifi optimization as my phone only does this on wifi. when i use mobile data everything works as expected
EDIT: WIFI optimization makes no difference
Push Notifications
I have faced this problem on both my S4 and S5 on sprint. I think it has to do with sprint closing open tcp connections prematurely, which causes push notifications to fail.
Running the app Root-Push Notifications Fixer, or Unrooted version has worked for me. The root version seems to be more reliable.

FB Messenger still eating battery

Hi!
Anyone here, who still have problems with facebook messenger? It started when FB had battery draining problem and did not stop since then. I uninstalled it multiple times and tried messenger lite, but it lacks some features I use almost daily.
Problem is, messenger is eating ~50% of CPU and is making hand warmer out of my phone.
I have OnePlus X with CM 13 installed.
Is there a way to find out what is process doing? It would help me investigate the issue.
Thanks!
