Hi,
I'm using unrooted samsung galaxy core model GT-I8262 running android OS 4.1 .I stopped receiving twitter 's notification from them whom I followed from last two days. I have cleared app data &, cache of twitter app &, reboot my device to isolate my issue but of no use. Is there any thing else that I can to so that I could receive notification .
And last I forgot I have updated my twitter app from play store to latest version .
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Try to open settings on twitter's notification
1. Mark all about notification
2.turn off twitter's notification
3. Back
4. turn on twitter's notification
5. Back to Home and close twitter
6. Open twitter and look at twitter's notification settings, if it still on you're success..
Sorry for bad english.
Ok so I am coming from iPhone so excuse me for this question:
any reason NOT to change the default SMS app? I was browsing the app store and realized there are MANY out there.
Isn't it bad/bloat/slower to install an additional messaging app? The more I have the more running, no? The more running, the more I use battery, using resources, and so on....
Help
Thanks

No real reason why not, you can set the default to the new one you install and so it will become the main SMS app in use, the other one wont cause any resource usage. With one you install from the play store you get the benefit of getting more features and updates. I use the Google messenger SMS app on the store but have used textra before which has a lot of customisation options and features.
Thanks a lot for the help!!
How about the delayed notifications issue that affects other Xiaomi devices (such as the Redmi Note 3)? Does it affect the the Mi4c too?
Thanks.
It can be easily solved by going to:
Settings -> Additional settings -> Battery & performance -> Manage app battery usage -> OFF
This way MIUI won't control apps in background and notifications will show up real time.
It does consume a bit more battery but it worths.
I had the same problem for whatsapp on my Mi4C. The battery restriction change didn't solve it for me. I did all the other changes I could find, eg. Autostart whatsapp, lock whatsapp from recent app removal, still lengthy delay until I start whatsapp again. The last thing I've done was autostart google services framework, then reboot device, seems to be working.

On Mi4c I had a problem with the Mail app and a Gmail account. After 2 weeks of search, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. It was obviously more buggy on Wifi.
I ended by installing Cloud Magic and no problem since that.
I didn't try again to see if it's OK now. I didn't try again.
So we can say the Mi4c is affected, like every Miui device probably.

Yeah, I think I've read that google services is the key.
How do you make the google services framework in autostart? external app?
MIUI comes with a Security app. Go in there and click Permissions and you will see Autostart. Autostart both Google Services Framework and Whatsapp or other messaging apps you use.

I have only Google Play serveices for Instant Apps here. Is it the same?
OK the title is self explanatory but lets go a bit further
I have two apps on my phone that I want to stop but primarily Facebook, I don't want them starting when the phone boots and I don't want them restarting on their own when I kill the process or stop the apps, I believe they have processes running that don't readily identify themselves as being associated with the apps so even if I kill/force stop the apps a short time later they just start up again.
I still want to be able to use the apps I choose so I don't want to uninstall or freeze them
The apps (for starters) are Facebook and ES file Explorer, I don't think ES FE is that bad and just stopping it from running on boot would be good enough but Facebook is an entirely different matter, it is extremely annoying.
Sometimes my phone heats up like it is doing a lot of work on something and when I kill facebook it all settles down

Greenify should do the trick.
There's also Boot manager (if you're rooted+xposed)

Greenfly does not achieve what I am trying to do, and boot manager does not stop facebook from loading, it is still there in my apps and running no matter what I do and if I force stop it and stop the process it is back there again later without rebooting
I suspect that facebook uses and app or process that is not readily identifiable as facebook by name and then this app or process then manages the actual facebook apps that you see running as facebook, to actually stop facebook you would need to identify this app or process to totally shut it down, so if I am right - does anyone know what this app or process is so that I can stop it and take control of facebook, I rarely use it and don't see why it needs to be running 24/7 spying on me
I am pretty sure someone on these forums know the answer

Any app that runs so forceably even when you try to stop it should not be on your phone.
It can be awoken by listening and reacting to any of the numerous intents on android. For example; the app could've been coded to wake up each time you open the camera/dialer/attempt to dial a number/connect to the internet and so on. Google Play Services operates in the same way.
Cutting off wake up paths in greenify should fix that. Or download 3C System Tuner and disable some of the triggering intents for the app.

ok I am going to assume you hae android and facebook app installed............if not then never mind because you have nothing to contribute
if you have the facebook app installed then go ahead and look at apps and processes and try to stop it from invading your phone............good luck with that ...please report back
I have since uninstalled facebook app and will access it through my browser if and when I need to
I worked in IT all my life and I don't like facebook, in fact I don't like seeing people with their faces buried in their phones 10 hours a day, there is something very wrong going on - I love and support technology but as some experts are now saying, it is now a serious health problem and I believe them............so what does facebook have to do with this..................well by far the biggest offender, so much so that it is scary
my advice to anyone with a mobile smartphone is to uninstall the facebook app and just access it through a browser, people need to realize that while you have all these devices and various accounts apps and cookies etc etc, everything you do on every device, everything you access - everywhere you go, everything you do is being monitored and recorded.................everything and I mean EVERYTHING
you think your life is private lol
anyway I couldn't find a way to shut the facebook app down..........so I uninstalled it, not sure that will even make a difference but it is gone, no more updates every 2 days - no more overheating as FB tries to upload stuff to some cloud somewhere without my permission................it is gone
sorry for the rant

Startup Manager would come in handy but it only works for 1 boot and you need to repeat each time you want to reboot
Out of curiousty isn't freezing it better than deleting it?
And yeah the browser version is better

I have a suggestion, but you might not get notifications when you have activity on Facebook. You won't know about any Facebook activity until you actually go and check it yourself.
Here is a workaround that doesn't even involve having Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed.
Use your favorite mobile browser(I recommend Puffin Browser or Firefox, Firefox requires some setup though, explained and linked below), go to Facebook in browser, login, have it save your login info in browser.
Then, open your browser settings and find the option to add the page to your homescreen as a shortcut. Open your Facebook settings in browser, find notification settings, set it to notify you of activity via text or via email, if you choose to notify via email, use the email that you are logged into your device with. Then, open your email app, go to its settings and set it to notify you when you get an email. This setup will save battery, save space because Facebook won't be installed, have less demand on CPU and mobile data. It will also allow you to still receive your Facebook notifications without having the app installed.
A workaround for managing your Facebook messages without having Messenger installed is as follows.
When you open the Facebook shortcut that you added to homescreen, open your browser menu, tap "request desktop site", when the page reloads you can then check your messages by tapping the messenger icon at the top of the Facebook page. If you try to check messages without requesting desktop site first, it will redirect you to install messenger. An alternative to this is to use Puffin Browser or Firefox(use this to set up Firefox in automatic desktop view) or use another browser that saves login info and automatically opens pages in desktop view, this will do everything for you without having to request desktop every time you open the page, just make sure that you create the homescreen shortcut using Puffin(or whatever other browser you use that has automatic desktop site) instead of your usual browser.
All of this requires no extra apps or disabling/hibernating/greenifying any apps.
This is the setup I use for the exact same reason that you're wanting to avoid.
Does this get you anywhere close to what you're looking for?

Yes that is what I have done, now facebook doesn't take over my device anymore lol not that I used it much in the first place
In terms of privacy google isn't much better but then they own the OS so not much can be done with that one

It's possible to not have Google on a device and use alternative apps with similar function. There are many members here that take their privacy very serious and uts,what they do with their devicesm

just a little more feedback on this for those that area interested
After removing facebook (uninstalling the app) the difference in quite extraordinary, yes I have an xperia Z1 which is a couple of years old but it still does everything I need it too, removing the facebook app has made my phone lightening quick, I also no longer have the every other day massive updates and I can still access facebook through my browser when I feel like it, looks just the same responds just the same but without the massive overhead
seriously - do yourself a favour and dump that facebook app................it turned into a monster and there is a very easy solution

I wish I could thank this post a dozen times. I tell people to get rid of facebook all the time. People come to this forum wondering why their battery usage is outrageous and why their device is so sluggish. Then you find out that they have Facebook and messenger installed along with Snapchat, Whatsapp, etc..
People just don't realize how much demand these social media apps put on the hardware.
