ya, i am as well.. or trying to

I ain't complaining... it works pretty good... I am glad they got notifications and the widget working fine... Although you need to know that it's the OFFICIAL FACEBOOK APP, it will never work as intended, hence... always going to be broken...

lol, it doesnt bug me per say but its just a slight annoyance

How do you even get the push notifications to work? I haven't received a single one. I only see the same refresh intervals as before the update.

You need to set up the refresh intervals to 'Never'.

Yeah Facebook authors suck.
It works on and off for me.
What I hate is, when I do get a push notification and I tap it, it goes to the notifications bar of facebook and I have to wait till THAT refreshes and shows me the actual notification... since the push notification only shows a few words... sigh.

the app totally sux

You might have to check your settings on the desktop website?
I've got my account locked down via desktop and turned off notifications in App and I dont get notices.

Facebook's app pisses me off so much.
-Nexus S

mine is just the opposite. it doesn't give me notifications even though i have them set to.

Is this the Facebook app, or did you setup a Facebook account to sync with the phone in the Settings/Accounts & sync menu?
I have the app and I get no notifications.

Just with the app, it seems like push notifications are independent of the app, kinda like how iOS does it

That's weird. I have two copies of the Facebook app installed (Facebook and Facebook Pink); each uses a different account on Facebook, and neither one generates any kind of notification to me.

Email app battery drain

This morning I noticed that the Email app on my new Nexus 5 is being the biggest drainer of my battery. Just overnight my battery level dropped about 30-50%. As far as I know, I have all my email accounts set up the same way as on my Nexus 4, while I never had the email app show up on the list of battery draining apps before.
My email accounts are set to sync every 15 minutes or one hour.
I was wondering if anyone else encountered this on their phone.

Even worse for me. Found out over 80% of my battery was being drained by email. 3 POP accounts, all synced at 15 min intervals. I have switched to IMAP to see if it's any better.

Same here.
It's definitely a bug and it only affects corporate exchange accounts. POP3 and IMAP don't seem to be causing this issue, at least in my case.
Even though I set my sync option on my university email to once every hour...under settings-accounts-corporate, i could see that the email account was refreshing every second.
Got rid of that email account and it doesn't drain my battery anymore.

Seen similar issues with my N5 and the Email App syncing with a corporate Exchange server. It can get stuck and go into a loop, draining battery and masses of data.
Check this by going into the Accounts & Sync -> Corporate -> {the account you set up} And look at the email, if the spinning icon constantly shows it syncing and re-sync you have the issue. I removed and re-added the account, and it seems OK now

On GN3
I installed the KitKat email apk on my Galaxy Note 3, and I can confirm the excessive battery drain. For me, it doesn't appear to be associated with Exchange in that I'm using POP3 email. I haven't found a solution, so I deleted all the data until Google issues an update that will hopefully fix it. I'll probably go back to the Samsung client until then.
Good luck to finding a fix! Go Nexus 5!

I'm having a separate problem with the stock email app. It will not sync any of my work emails past November 1. Everything is set up correctly, and my work email syncs just fine on every other Android device I own.

The accounts that were draining my battery were POP3 as well. Not only that they killed my battery life, they did not even sync the emails besides for the very first connection. But I believe this thread talks about the same issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512237

I had the same thing yesterday after signing out and back in it fixed it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm using the stock email app on android 4.4 on nexus 5 as well, but to sync with Hotmail/Outlook.com.
Whenever the sync frequency in the email app is set to Automatic/Push, Exchange Services constantly starts process non-stop and repeatedly. What I saw in Settings, under Corporate account is that it repeatedly syncs, constantly, even though there isn't any new items.
This resulted in heavy draining of the battery and the only workaround is to change the sync frequency to anything else but Push.
This doesn't happen on my Nexus 7 DEB FHD 2013 running Android 4.4.

2 separate issues Mail and TWRP

1st issue is with TWRP. When I was in the process of flashing twrp everything worked fine but, the battery was pretty weak so I powered the phone all the way down and plugged it into the charger. When the screen popped up with the battery charge, twrp splash screen was displaying behind the battery without telling the phone to boot into recovery.
The disclaimer from twrp is also displaying on manual reboots. (will post pictures when I get home)
2nd unrelated is with the HTC mail app. I 2 Gmail accounts linked (hate Gmail app), one Microsoft Exchange and 1 yahoo account. The Gmail accounts work fine and so does the Microsoft account. The yahoo account is showing me my junk/spam folder instead of the inbox. I've seen other problems similar after Google search but, they were with Microsoft and they were ALSO getting notified of spam box as well as inbox new mail. For me, my inbox items aren't displayed at all.
I'm running Cleanrom 1.1...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The TWRP splash screen dispaying when charging the unit when powered down is a possible TWRP bug don't worry about it. As far as your mail goes I don't use anything but Gmail can't help you there, sorry.

Yeah, that was the only issue with twrp, was able to flash with no problems so, for now just cosmetic.
This mail app thing is more bothersome.
Let me ask u this about Gmail app... Did they give us the option to turn off "threaded view"? That was my biggest problem with it.

If you are referring to the conversation list I don't think so.

I had the same problem with mine, yahoo has their own mail app on the play store. It filters all the junk out like yahoo mail should.

Just in case the issue with the mail app is had by another, I found a solution here http://m.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-one-m8-problems/#!0rUpI.

Hangouts notifications not working

Hello,
I'm experiencing some problems with the hangouts app notifications on my N5. Most of the time, the phone won't notify me of new gTalk (aka hangouts) chats or incoming video calls. It's really hard to maintain a conversation because as soon as you leave the app you complete forget about it.
Carrier/mobile number-related notifications work just fine. It's just the google/Internet part what's giving problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Are notifications enabled? are you auto syncing with google apps?

Yes, they're enabled. And yes, all google services are checked for auto sync.

Is this in wifi or data only. If it's on carrier data then it would be them closing the ports. I know I had that problem with straight talk, which is the main reason i stopped using them.

Hangouts doesn't require sync to push notifications.
Maybe its an issue with your push notifications themselves. Test if they work with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firstrowria.pushnotificationtester

Try reinstalling Hangouts if you haven't already

Any progress on this? I am experiencing the exact same problem on my Moto X 2nd Gen.

The 4.4.4 update is the cause; Hangouts have problems to many devices.
It seems that the notifications ringtones are not installed properly.
What I've found on some forums and working for me:
1. Move all hangouts ogg giles from sdcard(emulated)/ ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones
In order to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. You have to do a small synchronization too.
Go to Settings --> Sounds --> Volume --> Volumes --> Uncheck "Link ringtone and notification volumes".
Then an additional choice appears for the Notifications.
After that I started to get the sounds when notifications arrived. I rechecked the "Link ringtone and notifications" and the volume still worked.
Seems like something that needed to be initialized once.
After this the hangouts notifications appears and play sound too.

Different delayed notifications problem on OnePlus 7 Pro. Doesn't work at all on WiFi

Alright, here's another complaint about delayed notifications on OxygenOS, my OnePlus 7 Pro. Thing that really makes my phone unusable.
Please read the whole post so we can avoid tips like "aw, you can disable global battery optimizations in settings, also disable it for apps you want to get notifications for" because I have done everything found on threads as solution and nothing helped. Thanks.
I have tried to diagnose what the problem is in past few days as I saw that notifications on my phone aren't showing up at all. For ALL APPS, not only 3rd party. For NONE of the apps. Google services, Viber, Dropbox, Email, Instagram, 1st, 2nd, 3rd party apps.
I was reading about this problem on various forums found on google and first thing I discovered that this is mentioned as far as 2016-2015 which is very bad that such problem persists and isn't solved even in 2020.
Second thing, only solution I found mentioned as successful is "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable". That suspected culprit is Android Doze, light sleep, deep sleep. That doesn't work for me.
Found only one post came to similar conclusion as me, but unfortunately nobody answered it. Here's what I managed to find out as I tried everything.
In my case problem isn't at all in phones (deep) sleep, Doze, battery optimizations, apps getting killed in background, etc...
I'm not receiving notifications ONLY WHEN MY PHONE IS CONNECTED TO WIFI. It takes only few minutes from when I put my phone on a table to stop receiving notifications! I can track that when I'm using PC, receiving and answering messages on Viber - nothing shows up at my OnePlus. Even after 15-30 minutes, hours, notifications aren't showing up on phone. What makes it worse: I receive message on Viber, get notification on PC, (I'm not opening message on pc for ex. 20 minutes) take my phone, use other apps - STILL DON'T GET notification. Until I open Viber (or any other particular app) only then it connects, refreshes and show up new messages!
And no, it's not problem in Viber, I took it only as an example because it's my main IM app, as I said notifications for all apps aren't getting trough: GMail, Instagram, Dropbox, you name it...
Another strange thing is that Google won't automatically sync it's services while on wifi. For example Keep notes, Drive and so on. When I go to settings > accounts > google account - auto sync is enabled and in details I can see that every single service is updated LAST TIME I WAS ON 4G.
Viber backup also won't upload it's messages to Google Drive while on WiFi. On 4G it syncs backup without problems.
As I said, all of these things work flawlessly while I'm on 4G. All this syncing and NOTIFICATIONS as well. Only on 4G.
I even tried connecting to different wifi routers, 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz and it behaves the same no matter what I do.
When I take my phone, disable WiFi and enable 4G I immediately get all the notifications that were delayed while on WiFi. So that's how I got to the conclusion it is problem with wifi, not deep sleep etc.
Other than receiving notifications, I use phone over the WiFi normally, without any bugs or glitches: YouTube, Instagram, Chrome... Just (push) notifications aren't getting trough, and I can see all of them being refreshed as opening them.
OnePlus 7 Pro is updated to the latest firmware, 10.3.
Once more, please read the whole thread. I hope someone from OnePlus will read it and help me solve this problem as device like this is absolutely unusable.

Exactly the same? Not receiving notifications only on WiFi but on 4G it works normally?

Update:
I have contacted live customer support yesterday, sent them this detailed info about the problem and they replied that already have this particular problem (with notifications not working on wireless network only) reported by many users and it's software problem in latest update of OxygenOS (mine is 10.3.0.GM21AA, should be latest). Assured me that they are aware of the problem and developers are working on it to be fixed in next firmware update. I hope update will come quickly and it will be solved indeed because not receiving notifications while on WiFi at all renders my OnePlus unusable!

I still have the same problem on my OP 8. I receive notification from Whatsapp only if I'm under 4G.
