When I update Facebook app t last version (2.0) i saw that it connects my GPS even if all options are disabled.
Messenger location service > OFF
Notifications OFF
Update time > Never
Data sinc > OFF
Chat availability > OFF
Facebook account/ Contacts sinc > OFF
Even like that , the app keeps acceding to my GPS and not only!... to my Mobile data too... even with "Restrict backgroun data" ticked.
I'm getting nutts with this!!!
I already download the version 1.9.12 but for me its abusive!...
I contact them by emal yesterday and today again and no answer...
The question is: anyone experience the same? There is a solution for this?
Thank you all !!!
OK, the mobile data is fixed. The stupid apk create another data directory and I end up with com.facebook.katana in two different locations. After delete both of them, un-install and re-install the old version everything is like before. I installed the 2.0 but the problem with the GPS remains...

Mine also did once, but its like he trying to know where you are from time to time, and then desnt do it again. I re opened fb a lot of times and it almost never activates gps, only when i click on check in. I also stopped app, rebooted the 4x and it didnt activate the gps when i was in fb. it seems it only activates gps from time to time to me.

Hello.
I was having trouble with the facebook notifications not working in 1.5.2.
I tried to uninstall/install the app
Clear cache
Installed 1.5.0
Re-flash ROM
etc etc etc...
And nothing worked.
I logged with a friends Facebook account in my Captivate and Push notifications were working !!
I re-logged to with my account and notifications still not working, so WTF?
So I started to mess around with the Facebook settings, privacy etc, and nothing helped to receive push notifications...
Until I deactivated my account and re-activated, and now I have notifications back! Is like a hidden setting in facebook that tells if push notifications are enable/disable, and after re-activating my account in some way is restores it, no idea but is working now...
If you have this problem, give it a try!
To deactivate: Account->Account Settings->Deactivate Account
To Activate: just log in.
Best Regards
Trying it now ... I've tried everything else... hope this works ...
EDIT: HOLY MONKEYS BATMAN IT WORKED! I'VE HAD MY DINC FOR 7 MONTHS NOW, WITH PROBABLY 12 DIFFERENT ROMS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER EVER WORKED! Thankyou!
Details:
I just flashed the newest version of Magnolia with Clockwork 3.x. Clean slate wipe (other than sd).
I deleted the old version of fb that came with the rom (just from the app list in settings), cleared all data from that....DID NOT set up facebook for HTC Sense when doing original setup of phone right after reflash.....
Logged onto FB from my pc, deactivated, waited until I got the email, then logged in again.
DL latest FB from the market and set it up, asked someone to comment on a status, and voila, fb started notifying me EVERY TIME someone did, not just every 30 mins like the settings show...
YAYAYAYAY!! I'm so happy now! I'm gonna pass the word along.
Thank you!
Did it work for you?
Yes - see above edited post!
Or just log in to fb, register phone and check boxes to receive SMS alerts. Faster than the 1 hour intervals.

My notifications are popping up in real-time. The only thing that goes once hourly is messages or friend requests, as far as I can tell. I'm watching my facebook on my computer and my phone alerts me nearly at the same moment my pc does.
umm... ??
deactivate my facebook account? message posted day before april fools day...
something doesnt add up
You can do that without deleting your profile. I hear of people deactivating it everytime they log off for privacy concerns. When deactivated you dont show up on any of your friends pages or searches. Just log on to reactivate, you'll get an email welcoming you back.
you dont loose anything?
Nope. Not that I know of. Check out cnn story. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-12/...ngs-new-facebook-facebook-accounts?_s=PM:TECH

I am not geting any notifications at all.
Can you help me?
I cant deactivate account as there is a business page attached with some development app attached.
Is there a modified app I could try?
It all started yesterday, when I turned on wifi and mine phone suddenly auto install 3 different apps from google play market and another 1 later on.
Today it happened again, just turned on wifi and 1 random app starts to install.
Those apps are Go Weather, Peoples Radio, gPen, ring tone (something) and today some game. (canelled it before it installed).
Scanned mine phone with avast and app detector. Nothing found. I also changed mine gmail account password yesterday and still cant find out the reason of the culprit of all these auton install random apps?
Any got any idea?
some dude is logged in on your market account on a PC:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdFNYSE0iXQ..
you can click install, and then it will do that on your phone.
Re: random apps
I am curious, because I am also experiencing this just recently as well. I will just be sending a text message, and a window will appear asking if I want to install "gamebox". If I tap cancel, an SMS blip (not my normal message icon) will appear in my notification area. As soon as I open it, it will try to install another game. Shortly afterwords, my homepage for my Web app changed to "searchmobile". Which is strange because I have never seen that site or heard of it prior to today. Also just curious I after I uninstalled temple run...most of my issues stopped.
sounds like malware
To be on the safe side, go to Google store & change your password.

This is not same as mine problem, its push ads caused from others apps u installed and its wellknown. Mine problem, is all apps installed automatically when wifi turned on and like i got the apps push installed from google play.
Even changed password to gmail account didnt help and still got pushed installed another app day after.
Mine gmail account dont register others peoples logged in, except ip adress from mine computer/cellphone and I just dont know whats going on.
Same problem
I know this is an old post, but I am researching the same issue. I noticed a little popup notification that said "Glasses.com is installing." Checked Google Play and it shows as installed. Did you ever find out what is going on?
Hi, first of all thanks for the help you could bring me. My problem is that since yesterday night I'm not receiving any kind of sms or mms on my stock messaging app. Today I was trying to solve it but with no success. So I installed Go SMS Pro and to my surprise it worked, I started receiving SMS and mms, but still the stock messaging app is not alerting of upcoming sms even though it's receiving them (I think that they share a common folder and that's why if in go SMS pro it works it'll show on stock messaging app, so in theory stock is not receiving but just showing, am I right?).
For now I'm using SMS go pro, but I'd like to know why this happened. I read something about accessing a hidden testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to change the smsc but that menu is not available on my phone (any idea why?) tried the code above and tried using those apps that serve as a shortcut. The screen goes dark as it's trying to access the testing menu and returns to home screen, in other apps (like missing shortcuts) it shows as unavailable. I even edited the hiddenmenu file on efs/carrier from OFF to ON and still the testing menu doesn't appear. I'm using my phone right now with mobile data, wifi works well and so do phone calls, no problems at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that could help me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running 4.3 firmware, I updated from 4.1.2 a couple of days ago but didn't have any problems, I could receive sms normally. The problem happened suddenly yesterday night.

there is an option in Messaging app...Auto Retrieve - check if enabled....
if other app work with no problem it's just an app related problem..not something else...check in app setting maybe something is not enabled...
a factory reset would make it work for sure....but is too much...

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I don't want to factory reset since I've just did it to upgrade to 4.3. About the app settings, I've just tried all the possible combinations. I'm just using GO SMS Pro for now but MMS aren't downloading. Sigh.

try this: go to Settings->More->Application Manager-> Select "All" tab -> select Messaging-> Clear data + Clear cache...
So I have the note 5 for few months now and after all this time I haven't found a solution.
Basically I use the app called livescore and few other football/soccer apps that notify my when I select certain matches for goals to show up like notifications.
The settings in the app its self is fine, notifications are on, the settings in app manager are also fine.
I haven't found anywhere settings for notifications to show up or not when not on wifi. Do those settings exist? If they don't then what the problem might be?
Its really frustrating as the same thing doesn't happen with whatsapp which works fine with notifications over LTE/4G but when it comes to other apps it just wont work.
ALSO my samsung default email app wont show up new emails unless I am on wifi or unless while on LTE/4G I go inside the app and refresh it.

Hey,
This also randomly just happened to me. The way I fixed it is by going into settings --> Applications --> Application Manager --> MORE --> Reset App Preferences. Notifications all came in after i did that and haven't had a problem since. Let me know if it works!
Hi everybody, I have a problem since the day 1 I have this phone (2 months ago).
There's no way to receive whatsapp messages and email until i manually open the applications. Already tried to:
disable any battery saving setting
check any application permission
restore the phone
re-install the app
CHANGE OPERATOR
USE WIFI
and still the phone fall asleep and i receive all messages only when i open the app.
any idea to solve that?
Thanks
That's weird. Mine works fine - on battery setting i have option " with optimization".
But i have active option "picture in picture". Perhaps check this one.
Check background management for whatsapp. Disable it. Check autorun list. WhatsApp should be checked there.
I have no problems with WhatsApp.
