[Q] Facebook Notifications not receiving them? - General Questions and Answers

I've read all the threads regarding this topic and I couldn't get an answer so I'll ask
Facebook for Android has been skipping n a lot of my notifications. All I get notifications for are comments, nothing else.
I know it's not the phone, this has been happening over every Android I have had, also friends can log-in and get their notifs.
But I also don't think it's the account because I made a fake account to test is and I didn't get notifications either.
I tried all the connected app clearing, didn't work.
Any Other Ideas? :laugh:
Thanks in Advance

If all your friends get notifications and you don't, it seems you need to change your notification settings in www.facebook.com
No other option I guess

Id get rid of the app all together. Its a data and battery hog!

Sign out and back in, or reinstall the app.

I've done the following in the past to resolve issues. The facebook app sometimes acts kinda screwy for whatever reason.
menu>settings>applications>facebook>clear data
thanks both, will try the log out first and then clear data...
I've have now tried both ways but still the problem remains.

[Q] Android Twitter notifications still don't work.

Ever since I switched back to my Android phone, Push notifications for mentions never worked on my account anymore. Every time I go to enable it and push back, then go back to see if its still enabled, it automatically disables itself. Now I thought to my self that the app could be just broken, but I have 2 Twitter accounts, and my secondary account I use gets notifications just fine, buy my main one doesn't want to keep them enabled. So I thought it was my phone so I tried logging in on another Android device I have, same problem. Now with the new update that they released today, me thinking it would fix the problem, I go to turn on notifications, then I get "Updating Notification Settings" ......... "There was a problem updating notification setting". I have tried Googling this but can't find a fix anywhere. Any ideas?

Having the exact same problem.. tried deleting the data, removing the account. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app.. try checking if just 'Tweets' works.. that one works for me. But I don't want that.. lol
I'm having the same issue, I even tried resetting my phone from scratch with no data whatsoever, I even formatted it and wiped everything, I'm using CM9 on a Samsung Galaxy S2
RUnning the new v3.2.0, trying to set notification preferences, when I exit back to acct prefs, I get a toast saying "There was a problem updating notification settings." Is that what you're seeing as well?

Dan, I should have finished reading your post, lol
Yeah i guess its not just me, but im wondering why it does that for specific accounts? Like my second Twitter account works fine. I downloaded the Twitter 3.0 apk from 4shared, and that worked fine. I guess They keep breaking their own app.
3.0 works for you? Sweet. I'm gonna give it a go

Im on a samsung galaxy s 2 and having the same trouble, where do I find revoke applications?? Thanks guys
This happens when you have multiple mobile (android and ios) devices all signed in to one twitter account. Somewhere along the line, in between flashing ROMs with different build id's and or having two devices will confuse Twitter in a sense, so sign out and uninstall twitter from the other devices, go the desktop twitter site, and in settings, revoke twitter permissions you've granted and sign back in on your device. Everything will work fine. You'll be surprised that every twitter app you've ever tried is still in there, with access. Kill em' all....
Using the browser this link http://mobile.twitter.com/settings/change_ui will take you to the desktop version. Its a pain otherwise.
Settings>Apps you'll see it from there..

[Q] not getting email notifications

A few days ago i stopped getting email notifications for my subscribed threads along with new ones I add. I am sure it is set to instant notification and I have not changed any settings, it just stopped. Anyone else have this problem recently? any ideas on how to fix it?
My dad had a similar problem to this one.
Best I can say is double check your settings in your mail app, and then (if you're using android) go into your system settings >> accounts and sync >> mail app of choice (if it's there, I know Gmail is for certain) and be sure that it's checked and then sync your phone again.
In the rare event that the hosting server went down, obviously that would prevent you from getting your messages. There could be network problems somewhere along the way as well, though that's also a rare occurrence.
I am not getting emails from xda at all, on my phone or computer, both to my Gmail. It just seems weird that it stopped all of a sudden.

for me it turned out that it got marked as spam. I think it was because I got so many in one day.
You woudnt believe it but right after complaining here it started working.
I am facing a similar problem...
Although I did receive email notifs today, for almost all my subscribed threads (its set to weekly)...
However, I am not getting auto-subscribed to new threads that I'm replying to...
This wasn't the case earlier...all my subscribed threads appear in one place in the xda app...but now I need to separately subscribe to each of them...

Gmail problem

Hi all
Hope your all enjoying your new phones
Does anyone else have the same problem with gmail as me? After maybe 30 minutes to an hour i keep on getting the message that my sign-in has failed and i need to keep on entering my password, also when i delete emails they either stay there or reappear later on!
Nope, but I do sometimes get the error that it couldn't sync my contacts on the regular email app for my work Office 365 exchange account
This is what I get and it's driving me crazy !
No problems here with gmail...yet.

thanks, will try that later
Used to be a common problem with Android. The solution was what was stated earlier, remove the account and add again. I don't think I've seen that problem since KitKat...
And with emails coming back, this used to happen to myself as well. I have my Yahoo email come through the Gmail app and it used to happen all the time. Now when I get an email I don't care to read I'll delete it from the notification bar and I haven't seen it return like it did to myself on marshmallow on my s7. But I'm able to see multiple emails and still delete them individually from the notification bar now, I couldn't do that before.

gmail not pushing mail

So, ever since the N update on my S7 and now on the S8, my email doesn't push/sync right away at all anymore. I have to go into the email for it update. I'm not sure whyy it's doing this. I haven't set it up that way, have background data allowed, and don't have any battery saviors set up to do this...
Any ideas on this why this is happening?
Nougat's overly aggressive doze is the cause here. Fix: https://androidtutorial.net/2017/05/02/fix-delayed-push-notifications-galaxy-s8s8/
The option under Special Access you want to look at is Optimise battery Usage.
I have the same issue. I have gmail set so that it is NOT Optimized for battery. I still don't get gmail updates (and therefore no notification) until I open the app (usually). Sometimes I do get the notification soon after the email is sent to me. Rather random.
After messing around for a while, I think it is a no notification thing and not a lack of synchronizing the emails. If I send myself a gmail, I get no notification, but I can look in my google account and see where gmail has synchronized. Then I go to gmail and the message is there.

So, I solved it by going to the app manager and disabling the gmail app. Since it is a system app, it doesn't uninstall it, but reverts it back to some previous version. That version has been giving me the appropriate notifications for every email I have received since.
I think I will look at disabling updates for gmail for a while.

I deleted data for the app. That also fixed the problem (for now anyway)
This has been an ongoing issue for me for over a year. It was an issue on this phone, my S7 edge and Note7.
Often I will see an email on my phone, read and archive it, then go about my business. Several hours later I go into Gmail on my PC and that email is still sitting there, unread.
Actually sending out an email on the phone seems to make the sync update, but other actions like reading, moving, or deleting emails doesn't. I've had times where my emails were still unread on the Gmail website 12 hours after reading them on the phone. I have the app's battery optimization settings turned off, and I have even gone into the app several times during that period and pulled down to check for new messages. It's pretty awful that the sync has such serious issues and nobody is fixing it.
Deleting the app's updates doesn't work for me. It might fix the issue briefly, but it always comes back pretty quickly, even without any updates to the app.
The only thing that fixed the issue for me was installing an app called something like "Gmail Push Fixer". It worked wonders on my S7 edge. Unfortunately, the app requires root so it isn't an option on my Snapdragon S8+.
