[Q] Not getting notifications - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, here's the deal. I installed MOAR Rom recently, and ever since, I'm not getting notifications for some apps. Snapchat, another called Whisper are the two I'm sure of right now. There may be more. I've tried uninstalling them and reinstalling, which did not help. Any suggestions? I'm open to anything. Thanks in advance!

In moar control theres the notification toggle make sure are all clicked.

I tried that, no help. Thanks though!

[Q] Handcent SMS keeps resetting it's settings.

I just got my Infuse on thursday and installed the Refuse mod on Friday, then over the weekend I installed Handcent SMS to replace the default messaging app.
It works great and all, except it doesn't save it's settings. Sometimes it will keep the last settings it had, but other times it just randomly decides it wants to pretend like I've never ran it and delete all of it's settings and shows me the release notes when I open it.
Is there anyway to get this to stop?
It happend to me too. If its a big deal to you I use infused and it dosnt do it.

Well I guess I'll switch to Infused then. I like how you can theme Handcent and customize it a lot. I tried chompSMS since I heard it was more or less the same, but I don't like how they have ads and would rather donate money to a dev making a new ROM here than someone making an SMS app.
Is it possible to back up all of my apps/data for them and then restore them when I get Infused running? I don't really want to have to go through and download all of my apps again.
You can use TB.

Awesome, thanks for your help!
I was having the same issue with Handcent and I'm using Infused 1.2.1. I got tired of dealing with having to reset all my setting and specifically the notification sound. I moved Handcent and all its plug ins onto the phone and it didn't fix the issue. Now I'm using SMS Go Pro and I haven't had any issues. It's just as customizable as Handcent IMO.

I'm using Infused 1.2.1 and I have it on the memory card and its working perfectly.
Go sms, handcent and sms pop up all reset after short while. I got fed up changing my fonts and settings and I don't use then anymore. Very frustrating.

Hmmm, interesting. I don't know how you have yours setup but it seems like you have it much like I had mine. Every time I would reboot, the icon would disappear from the dock. It also would arbitrarily change the notification sound to this weird long ass notification tone that I could not stand. I like Postbox not whatever the one it was selecting. I reflashed the ROM and wiped cache and it still did the same thing. No issues with SMS Go pro (for now) so I'm sticking with it.
I know this is a little old, but I was having issues with Handcent resetting all the time...here's how I fixed it. You have to be rooted...after you uninstall the app, go to the dbdata folder, then database. find the folder that is com.handcent, etc. Delete it, then reinstall the app. My bet would be everyone that's not having issues have only installed it once, and never uninstalled it.
I don't know about the settings on handcent but I use go SMS and it works awesome and is very customizable. Hope it helps.

MMS Picture not displaying

Symptoms:
Receive a MMS picture message and the picture does not show (though it initially downloads the image). Under the stock messaging app, there is nothing. Under the Handscent app, it says "unable to display content" when there is no text. If there is text it shows the text conversation. I can however, under Handscent go into the menu/more/save mms and see the image there. I can send MMS picture messages just fine.
Setup:
CM9 Nightlies
I have tried wiping and resetting all the app cache, phone cache, etc. I have played around with the APN settings. Yes, for those that yell about searching the forums; I have been working on this for several days and nothing in the lists have resolved my problem.
Any thoughts on this issue?
Do you have the stock messaging app frozen or disabled? I had a similar issue and resolved it by unfreezing/"thawing" in TB and enabling, then just turning off notifications in the stock app settings so it doesn't duplicate the notification since you're using a different SMS/MMS app.

Thanks! I froze then defrosted the default app and now it works. I have spent way too many hours trying more complicated solutions. Thanks again!
Does this apply if i'm using only the stock app too?

It should. My understanding is that by freeze/defrost, you reset the application locks or something to that effect. It doesn't hurt to try it and see how it works.

Download won't stop

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know what to do? For the last hour this notification in my drop down shows "Facebook (build 141046)" but it doesn't appear to actually be downloading and it won't go away. It's not the app installing an update (or doesn't appear to be). I've "force stopped" it and restarted my phone but it comes right back. Very frustrating.

On a Rogers/AT&T S3 with CM10. I'm seeing the same bug. I've tried uninstalling facebook, reboot, and a clear data on the play store. No luck getting it to go away yet.

Try turning on wifi and connect to a wifi spot it worked for me. no idea what it was but its gone now.
Going to copy my message that I just posted over on android central I was headed here to ask if anyone had anymore info.
"I had this issue as well. Turning on wifi seemed to complete the download and I was prompted to install this new build. Apparently one of the new features as shown in the screencaps above is downloading via wifi. But it looks like the with this build the facebook app will be able to download files without any notification. So basically just like this build began without any action on my part in the future the same will happen only I won't even get an notification. I've looked around for a bit more information and haven't come up with anything. This 'update' seems to be standalone from the actual app, no ability to update from the play store and opening the facebook app doesn't trigger the update screen. so i'm declining to install this for now.
one of the tips on the AC forum to get rid of the notification was to hold the notification and press app info and then force stop download manager, the same with simply force stoping the download manager app if you version doesn't allow for the press and hold. The notifcation apparently comes back later.
Also worth noting this is happening on my Galaxy Nexus running on T-mobile

After some mucking around, this appears to have worked (so far). I also did a clear data on the download manager and play store.
I just long press it, app info, and just clear data. That fixed for me.
Thanks for the responses. I was able to connect to wi-fi at Subway during lunch and immediately it went away. As usual, quick responses from XDA folks and problem solved!

Does anyone know what caused this? It freaked me out at first, but I was glad to find others running into the same problem.
I just went to Downloads and deleted the download.

That worked on my stock Incredible 4G. App drawer> Downloads> check the Facebook download and tap the trash can.
Thanks for the info. Worked for me after four hours of "downloading". It was driving me crazy plus it ate up quite a bit of battery.
Thanks

My gut says that this may well be the source of the issue:
seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2020547460_apusnetflixfacebook.html?prmid=4748
Seems weird that it wouldn't simply push as an app update through the Play Store though.

Not getting some sms notifications

noticing that sometimes I don't get notifications for sms or mms. Any one else having this issue on KitKat? Have any fix?
I've tried just about everything like switching hangouts to the stock android sms app, freezing circles (since its tied in with sms in a notification sense), turning off and on all notification toggles, a factory reset and also tried reflashing the fxz file with RSDlite.
I'm totally stumped.

i dont really have a fix, but i use some reminder apps.
maybe that will get you around this issue until a fix is found.
here are the 2 i use,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.missed.activity
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hermes.enotifylite
I have the same problem. Its really frustrating because I have to constantly check to see if I have new messages. And the reminder apps didn't work for me. Because the notification doesn't ever actually exist at all, I'm assuming that's why. They work when I go into hangouts and the new message shows up, however.

Missing hangouts notifications

So I'm in a strange situation. I was using the L preview and noticed I was not getting notifications for all of my hangouts. Sometimes I'd get a notification other times I'd open the app and see a bunch of missed messages.
I figured it must be because of the preview (even though I hadn't seen anyone else have the issue).
Flashed back to stock. Full stock image even relocked the boot loader.
But it's still happening. I'm not getting notifications. No sounds. No vibration. No icon in the status bar. No notifications in the shade.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas?
I've obviously already tried clearing the apps data. Changing notification sounds. Signing in and out.
I don't have cell service. I use my phone on WiFi only for the time being.

Solved it!
Solved this by going to apps in settings and clearing all data and cache from the app, then disdable an reenable the app.
After I logged in again it worked.
