[Q] Problem with Facebook Messenger's Chat Heads - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Since updating to Lollipop, I have had an issue with the Facebook Messenger app, which for me is a big deal since I use Facebook mainly for texting. I have problem with going into the Chat Heads straight form the notification tray, evem after I enable that in the Settings menu. The Chat Head seems to open for a moment and then it "blinks" for a moment and closes(waits to be opened manually). Do you face the same problem? Any suggestions how to fix it?
P.S. I am using Lollipop 5.1

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

Not one idea? Come on folks I can't be the only person this has happened too.

Delayed notifications while on WiFi (Lollipop)

Hi Everyone
I have recently updated from KitKat to Lollipop. I am running the latest version of Cataclysm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-cataclysm-nexus-5-t2518660) with the franco Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r53-t2508284).
I have found that while on WiFi the notifications I get for Gmail and Hangouts (and potentially other apps, I just use these two the most) are delayed, sometimes up to a few hours. This happens on more that one account. The second I go from WiFi to mobile data the notifications come through and any subsequent notifications are instant as expected.
I have done some searching and these issue seemed to pop up for some people on KitKat who said turning off WiFi optimization fixed this however Lollipop does not have this option.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this delay?
Thanks in advance,
Ross

facebook messenger MICROPHONE not working :( :(

its TOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bad that otherside cant hear my on FACEBOOK MESSENGER, and my phone works pretty good on normal phone calll skype call. and LONG PRESS TO SEND VOICE MESSAGE on facebook messenger. anyone had the same problem??
anyone who could help me koz. i stay abroad and need to be in contact with my family al the time. PLEASE HELP
everyone'S MESSENGER CALLS WORKING FINE??
It's weird that "press to send voice message" works and not the voice during a call, but maybe the first one is not directly related to your app. Did you check that Messenger has the permission to use your microphone ?
In Settings > Apps > Messenger > Permissions > "Microphone" should be activated.
yes

YEAH i tried the permissions. if not permission for MIC why would it send sound clips. still the same problem. anyone else had this problem?
I currently have the same problem on my Samsung Note 4 (n910f). Everything works perfect, except video calls on facebook messenger. Sending voice clips over messenger works. I tried to mess with the permissions, updated messenger app, updated phone firmware, tried everything. On every other apps the microphone work flawless. I event send facebook a report, but haven t heard anything.
how to make permission allow there is not any open close mark
Know this is an old thread but I found it through a Google search with same problem.
I found the problem for my self.
It's not only microphone permission it needs, I needs phone permissions too. Why I can't tell. Poor development maybe.
Iphones too
I have the same issue with messenger BUT it was working great on my android devices, but I had to switch to iOS... and guess what... I used an SE then a 6s and later a 7 (bootloop so back to 6s. I don’t want to spend a fortune on new ones) every single one had the same issue with the mic. I’ve tried to install the messenger first after a clean factory reset... and I had the same problem. My wife is using her iPhone with no issues at all. I am still using android as a secondary but my main phone must be an iPhone (flickin company)...
I got the same problem on my Galaxy note 10 plus with messenger microphone.
But ONLY when i make a video call. When i recieve a video call it's working fine!! I call back and they can't listen me.
All other similar apps like DUO, Viber, What's Up, Skype are working fine.
Phone app working fine too. All apps and the device are working fine.
I reset the device and it solved but after some days it's back again!!
It makes me crazy!

Notification or sync issue after Android 10 Update

I installed the update last week and it runs fine, so far the phone seems smooth. But I have a really annoying issue with Signal Messenger and sometimes K9 Mail only showing new messages/mail when I open the app.
I have disabled battery optimization, enabled background access and checked all the notification settings, which seem fine to me. After trying around with the OTA update I even reset the whole phone and reinstalled everything from scratch, but the issue remains. Signal is my main messenger and I don't want to have to check manually every few minutes in order not to miss any messages. Any suggestions, anyone else with this problem?
Edit: I just found out that WhatsApp has the same problem, I just don't use it as much as Signal...
