Hey,
I think this is mainly only on 2 applications, but very often I get that the application has crashed/shut down on a message about my Clock application and more often than that the SuperUser application.
The SuperUser application notification comes up often in random other programs, and the clock when I use the clock itself

Hi all,
Got my 8X few days ago, and I ran into a weird issue. I noticed that the Facebook App notifications weren't working. I did however receive tile count on the Me-tile. I had a look in settings and I noticed that the background task for facebook app was blocked. The "turn on background back on for this app next time I open it" was checked, by even after starting app, or restarting phone, and starting app the task was still blocked.
After re-installing the facebook app the task got the allowed status. Everything worked, counts on tile and lockscreen, lockscreen photo background, etc... But then I noticed Facebook account in Settings/E-mail+accounts had 'not up to date' status. When I clicked 'show password' I got ******* instead of my password. Correcting the password and updating the account resulted in facebook app background task being blocked again.
I hope I'm making sense here... Anyone can reproduce this or is it only me?
Thank you in advance,
Grtz
Lukas
I too noticed that Facebook was blocked as a background task, but, my push notifications have worked perfectly despite it being blocked.
I decided to uninstall and re-install it to see if I could get it unblocked like you have, and when i check the background tasks settings, Facebook is no longer listed there. Keep in mind that background tasks do not control push notifications. Push notifications and background tasks are separate features of the phone. You can have push notifications running, and not have background tasks.
I assume Facebook uses background tasks to change the lockscreen wallpaper (if you enable this), and that's about it. Background tasks specifically allow a very limited set of operations for a specific amount of time at specific intervals of time. They can only do what the Windows Phone 8 SDK allows them to do, which is not a whole lot, but usually just enough to make it seem like your application is always doing something in the background.
Thnx for your reply prjkthack.
I was wrong in assuming this was an issue, and your post pushed me in the right direction.
I think it's like this:
1. no background task: fb app not installed, or installed but no lockscreen settings configured ("not now" while in the startup wizard)
2. blocked background task: you've used the lockscreen fb background, but switched that off, and are currently using another lockscreen. That's why the task is blocked.
3. allowed background task: you are using the fb wallpaper on your lockscreen.
Thank you for clarifying that background task have nothing to do with push. Did not realise that.
Thnx,
Lukas
I have a question. If you have installed yahoo messenger and you press the home button (putting the app in multitasking) will I still receve incoming notifications from that app(yahoo messenger)? This can go on for many other apps. Does it work like in android? If you press the home button when in an app that app will still run in the background, and receve notifications.
Hope I was clear enough. Sorry for my bad English.
It does not work like Android, in that backgrounded apps do not continue running. They are preserved for a quick restart, but the app itself is suspended to prevent it from consuming CPU time and bettery life (one of the major problems on Android is that it's often difficult to get an app to *stop* wasting battery life).
However, apps can register a special background task in the OS to handle "push notifications" - that is, messages from external server that the phone will receive and display even if the app isn't running at all - and it is extremely common for IM apps to support them. Check the Settings for the app; there should be a section about push notifications. Enable those, and you'll get an alert when a message arrives. Tap the alert to open the app so you can respond; swipe the alert off-screen to the right (or just ignore it for a few seconds) to dismiss it.
I'm not currently owning any w8 device but i'm planning on buying a 620 or 8s. can't decide.(this is my budget)
Thanks for your answer ! :good:
Fixing Telegram push notifications problem & third party alarm clock apps not working
When you remove Telegram or your 3d party alarm clock app (e.g. Google Clock) from the list of Recent Apps both stop working altogether (no alarms/no notifications).
What I've done to no avail:
1) Added Telegram/Google Clock app to SafeCenter -> AutoStart Whitelist
2) Disabled "Battery Optimization" for both
3) Added both to SafeCenter "Acceleration Protection List"
4) Disabled "Auto release memory" in SafeCenter.
Nothing helps. This problem is a deal breaker for me. I want my the Recent Apps list to be empty while the above apps keep working. It looks like when you're removing them from recents, they are stopped altogether and no longer run in background.
Add all the related apps to the autostart whitelist
Edit: I've just seen you've already done it. Sorry
i tested both apps. Given all permissions, autostart,no battery optimization, all notification and so on.
i set up a alarm, now i have an icon and a message in statusbar for next alarm.
So if swipe all open apps away in miui launcher, by swiping long up those apps i mean.
Than is the icon and message in statusbar away and no alarm anymore.
With original Clock there is no problem.
I also testet AmDroid and Alarmy to make them to system apps. It is the same situation.
Any solution or tipps for alarm apps?
For the third day I've been trying to work out how to use Tasker Scenes to browse my favourite apps in fullscreen - removing the status bar and navbar.
I have successfully created an activity based scene, and task which uses the Display As "Activity, No Bar, No Status, No Nav" option. I then have this set to show when i open up Chrome, Kiwi, Shopping Apps etc.
The issue I've been experiencing is when the scene is activated it disables all elements within the app, i cannot scroll, or touch anywhere on the screen. The overlay is somehow blocking all touch input despite me using an activity rather than a layer option.
The irritating thing is I've tried all the options i can think of and i know this must be easy to fix?!
As a side note, Tasker does have all permissions granted. Any ideas?
