Hello,
I'm fairly new to android and have been playing with RCMix's ICS ROMs, I'm currently running v3.2 which is Android 4.0.3 with HTC Sense 4.0.3.
I seem to have found that push notifications do no work, namely:
* Apps purchased from the market website do not get installed on the device. (although now my device does not show in the market website - related?)
* Androidlost.com works fine if you manually fetch messages or set it to poll, but the (C2DM?) messages do not get to the device if left alone. NB, the tests that are available within Androidlost all come back OK, so the device is registered correctly.
* Facebook messages (and Facebook Messenger) are not pushed, but are there if I log into Facebook or Messenger.
* Pushed emails using either the standard HTC Mail app and Exchange Activesync or the GMail app. If you set the mail to be polled every 15 mins then new mail is received correctly.
Would this be expected behaviour for a leaked/beta ROM hence me not being able to find much information about it?
Is this a known problem with these ROMs? (I cannot find any particular reference to it on here or using google)
If the answer to these two questions is no, where should I be looking to try to rectify this?
Thanks
Chris
Having said that all the tests from androidlost come back OK I have just upgraded to the new version (2.17) which has more tests! Now it comes back with:
"Test no: 9
Sending push command from server
COULD NOT RECEIVE GOOGLE PUSH MESSAGE"
Update 2...
Phone now appears under list of devices on the Market Website.
I deleted my Google account from Settings > Accounts & Sync, then cleared the data from Google Services Framework in Settings > Applications
Then re-added the account under Settings > Accounts & Sync. I can also now remotely install apps from the market website.
All other problems still exist though...
Making progress....
Update 3 - Fixed, by doing the following:
Delete Google account.
Clear data from Google Services Framework.
Re-setup google account.
Uninstall Android Lost from the app (under advanced).
Re-Install Android Lost.
Open Android Lost
(Still does not work at this stage - Trouble shooter reports it has
picked up my work email address not by Google one)
Re-register Android Lost (under advanced).
Hey presto - it works! - and so does everything else
Hope this helps someone else in future!

Trying to get my Exchange account to sync but it's not an option within Gmail like it is on my N5 running Lollipop. I've tried sideloading the newest Mail and Exchange Services apks but that didn't work, I ended up with 2 Email/Exchange Services apps. I ended up factory resetting the OPO but I still can't add Exchange within Gmail.
Both Email and Exchange Services are at rev 4.4.4-5fa8c79c0b, Gmail is current at rev 5.X I've read that possibly uninstalling updates in Gmail, then disabling Exchange Services rev 4.4.4-X, then updating Gmail, then sideloading the new Exchange Services is the way to go. Can anyone confirm this?
Also it's been long enough, why after a factory reset did Email and Exchange Services not automatically update to the latest versions on their own? Is it that they are part of OPO Gapps and they will only upgrade when Lollipop is available?
I have also sideloaded the latest Google Play Services apk in the hopes that that would trigger the update, no such luck.
Thanks,
RCook
Answering my own question in case it helps someone out.
Settings > Apps > Uninstall Gmail updates reverting it back to rev 4.X
Settings > Apps > Disable Exchange Services, in my case it was rev 4.4.4-X. I also Force Stopped it for good measure.
Play Store, though sideloading an APK would work, update Gmail back to rev 5.X
Sideload Exchange Services rev 6.5X
Sideload Email app rev 7.X
Open Email get the screen telling you that Email is now rolled into Gmail
Open Gmail and add Exchange account
That was far more work than it should have been.
Lol good job figuring it out and good to know for the future

I just read a thread over at the Samsung forums concerning the missing and non functional FB contacts sync recently, and it appears that this is not a bug, but a FB person stated that this feature has been discontinued!
What in the world were they smoking??? Are they completely gone stupid?
This is a global thing and affects everyone on Android.
Worst thing is that nobody knew.
There is people that don't care, but there is also people that do, and this is certainly NOT a point that needed addressed in this app.
I can't believe all the gimmicks they add and then an essential like that is being removed! Unreal!!!

I'm here because I was looking around to solve this problem. It seems simply removed by Facebook devs. It's incredible and absurd.
I come from an hard reset and now I can't sync nothing even if under Settings --> Account --> Facebook there's the sync option. But (surprise) it doesn't sync nothing. It says sync complete, but there's not data transfer.

Tried. Facebook v27 crash immediately after I open it. I hope Facebook will reintroduce this function.
New Galaxy S6 phones are pre-installed with Facebook version of at least 40. So you cant uninstall it or go back far enough to get 27.. Disabling it also does not let you install FB version 27. Sucks. I was able to do this workaround using my S4. Upgraded to the S6 and now I can't.
Not really true - I just did that on my new S6. Disabled the FB, uninstalled the updates (down to stub version) and installed ver. 27 over it. It synced my contacts, and then I updated the app - worked like charm
However, I assume with the FB updated to newest version, the new contacts may not sync anymore... :/
PS. Should be under Btr1976's post - sorry...
I did this too and can confirm it works.
I can't imagine why in the world Facebook did this stupidity.
If you can't install v27, maybe you could use a third party app. I used HaxSync when I used AOSP ROMs on previous phones. Worked like a charm.

Hi everyone,
i just received my Mate 8 (64GB/LTE/4GB) from China via UK Delivery. First i really have to say wow for speed and optic, its fantastic
My pre-installed PlayStore did not work well, so i decided to Update to C00B129 and reset the whole device. I reinstalled Google PlayStore via APK, got the Updates for Google Play Services and now i have the annoying Auto-Sync Problem with Apps like whatsapp, telegramm and even email. PNF(nonRoot) ect. wont really help, i set up all apps as "protected" so they can run in background after sending device to sleep. I also checked the Background-Data Restriction, its disabled. All apps can use Wifi and Mobile Data. Wireless is set to "always on", same with mobile Data.
For the moment i can just say that, once i open telegramm, email or whatsapp, all messages are received quickly without delay. If you press the app-Overview and close those apps via "trash"-Icon to free memory, no further messages are received until you re-open the app. Emails will be received as soon as you unlock the screen, if you do not close the email app and just jump back to home screen, email push works fine for me.
I have no idea why, it looks like the settings "protected app" does not work and the apps are closed as soon as you try to free some memory.
Btw, i know that most messenger apps use Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) for message delivery - where or in what app(s) are the GCM components integrated? Maybe its just necessary to install different google apps? If GCM is now integrated in google play services, i have no better idea how to fix that. A few people wrote that "phone manager" might be the problem, but i cant disable or even stop this app as its a system app...
Follow the steps here exactly as mentioned without skipping anything :
1) Factory reset your phone
2) After reset,
Download contact for android 6 apk
Then download contact sync APK for android 6
DO NOT LAUNCH OR EXECUTE any of them for now ...
Go to phone manager, go to permission manager and in CONTACT, let CONTACT app and CONTACT SYNC ALWAYS allow to change the contacts. It is by default on notify ...
Then, launch contacts app, introduce your login and password from google and it will sync all your contacts. AFTER that, you can download play store, google agenda etc ... You can find all apk i have mentioned on apkmirror
Then all will work perfectly with your chinese mate 8
Contact app for android 6
No results when I typed 'contact for android 6 apk' on the apkmirror site but the Play store came up with a list of contact manager apps. Do you have the exact name of the app?

Sorry, i wrote this to help people having issues with syncing their contact, so i ve posted this on the wring thread. About your problem, it is defintely a permission issue. Check also in the "account" section in the settings ...
Contact and calendar work fine for me. GoogleContactSyncadapter.apk will do the thing.
But I still wonder why
1. WhatsApp and email receive messages after app open, telegram with the same permissions always receive even with push
2. I can not open settings from apps with inapp purchase, I can only download via playstore and Run them with default settings. Additional content does not work and I wonder how inapp purchase Information is downloaded or submitted to the app once it's downloaded from playstore
Update
2. I can not open settings from apps with inapp purchase >>> some apps can be found as "modified" version somewhere else, so if inapp purchase fail to download/add optional components, you may use such a version ...
still need to figure out what components are missing...
here is the file that solve my contact sync problem .
com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts_6.0-2280749-23_(nodpi)_APKdot.com.apk
Update
You may download the "Google installer.apk" or get Google Apps via HiApp (better register a new account via website, you can use your email adress, no need for your mobile number)
i downloaded via HiApp :
Google Play Store >> v6.0.5 (seem to include Google Framework and Google Play Services)
Google Calendar Sync Adapter >> v5.2.3-99827563-release
Google Contact Sync Adapter >> v6.0-2302772
Now everything except the Push Notifications work fine. Even with Apps like Email or Whatsapp set to "allow run after screen lock", Access to Background Data granted, "ignore optimize >> yes" ect ect. the App does not notify me about any incomming Message as soon as you "close" them via Trash Icon/swipe them off. If you keep them "open" in background, notifications work fine.
I guess it´s something about the phone manager itself or Android 6, but it seems i can not fix that for the moment. Eventually there will be modified roms or an marshmallow root soon...

Try this:
settings
advanced settings
battery manager
press the gear icon in the top of the screen
then set "keep mobile data on during sleep" to on.
That's off by default, and if you don't have a WiFi connection then yes the messages will be delayed.

Hi everyone,
I'm in CA and I just got EMUI 5.0 update. The update went fine and I like Nougat, however I have a problem with the "Contacts" app.
Our company uses G Suites (AKA Google Apps) and I used to be able to see all employees in the company (Company Directory) from the Contacts app. After the upgrade I can no longer see these contacts anymore. I checked settings of Contacts app and couldn't find anyway to turn on Directory.
Any help is appreciated!
Just make sure that it is sync within Google account or heck to see if contact app has permission to allow...
Hello all,
I have a problem syncing my Google contacts with my HTC One M8 (running Android 6.0). In the past, I have been able to sync the HTC People app with Google (and also link them with data from other apps).
Yesterday, I had to reset my Google account settings. I also cleared the People data, before putting the account settings back and syncing the data. Now it will only sync some of the contacts. It's missing about 190 of my contacts (which are clearly still there on Google). I can find no pattern to the contacts it includes/excludes. I have tried repeating the process - clearing all the data and settings and putting it all back - but I cannot get all of the contacts to appear on my phone any more.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this? Failing that, is there another (reliable) app for syncing contacts data from multiple sources, including Google, Whatsapp, and Skype? Thank you in advance!
Can you verify that missing ppl have either google plus profiles or (birth)dates set? Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/contact-sync-flashing-8-1-image-syncing-t3715229 ... this seems broken since the 8.1 release but also breaks for non-oreo and non-pixel devices

Thanks for posting so quickly - and for directing me to a thread for precisely this issue! I am missing rather too many contacts to go through all of them, but it's definitely not confined to contacts with a G+ profile and/or a date. As you say, the Android version on my phone also pre-dates that of most users experiencing this problem.
It seems there's no clear solution yet, but (from the thread) it seems to be early days. For now, I have manually exported my Google Contacts to a vCard file and imported it to my phone contacts. I guess I'll wait and see if Google comes up with a solution in due course.

Deleted my Google account and People app data (again) today. Replaced them and suddenly I am finding ALL my Google contacts syncing again. I don't really have an explanation for why it worked this time but it might be relevant that I also installed the dedicated Google Contacts app this time round.
I solved this problem by deactivating power saver. After a few minutes, Contacts started to sync with my Google account.
