Social Networking app misses some updates?

Has anyone else experiance the social networking app missing updates, specifically from Facebook? I would love to use the software because of how integrated into the phone it is.
In particular, I've noticed that I'll check the facebook website and see some posts that never make it into the social networking app. I also don't get every notification in the "me" section. After some further investigation, I determined that these missed updated are from the same users every time, no matter what their status update/post is. If I comment on one of these peoples status and someone comments back, that notification never makes it to the "me" section. I'm using the phone as stock basically (no 3rd party launcher, ect). I also don't have the facebook or twitter app installed.
I will say that it does seem that every twitter update makes it to the phone successfully so again, this is Facebook only.
I also have the update option set to push and have tried removing/readding my facebook account.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?

ive been using m.facebook.com, i only use the app for photo uploads.

Well I have this issue with the stand alone Facebook app. It always misses updates. Never had this trouble with my iPhones. Always wondered if it was android, or the Facebook for android app that sucks. Have had this issue on the Evolution 4G, thunderbolt and the bionic.

[Q] No contact pics in messaging apps

Updated to stock 4.4.2 today and after that my contact pics are gone from Textra. I have also tried Handcent and Ninja sms but contact pics only show in my contact list and in the stock messaging app.
Tried removing the Facebook sync and uninstalling Textra. Then restarted, readded the Facebook sync and then reinstalled Textra. Didn't get me anywhere.
I've googled and searched this forum but it seems that I'm fairly alone with this issue after this update. Worked fine before the update on stock 4.3.
Any ideas?

Did you ever solve this? I have the same problem as you. HTC One with Textra...cleared data/cache from app. Uninstalled, then reinstalled and still nothing. Never had an issue before 4.4.2

Unfortunately no. I gave up and installed Sync Me recommended by the Textra team. It fixed the problem but I don't like having to install an additional app to solve my problem.

ya, i was about to reply with the same solution. i installed it, synced everything and then just hibernated sync.me. Definitely not a great solution but i've had issues with every single sms app out there and this one has had the least amount of issues so hopefully this is it.

Yep. I had this problem after updating to 4.4 and still in 4.4.2. I asked around but nobody ever answered me. Did some searching and I believe it is because either Facebook or Google or HTC only allows for the Contact photos to be used in system apps (such as the stock messaging app or stock contacts app) but not for third-party apps, hence the need of sync.me or haxsync or whatever. I have been searching for another solution cause I hate that stuff and I feel like the only solution is to flash a custom rom. Just thought I'd share.
Also, someone else asked in Dec but no replies

You have to remember that awhile ago google removed the facebiok sync option from the stick set up due to FB privacy policies. You will have no choice but to use a 3rd party app to do this from now on, if you want to sync to FB.

I read about that searching for an answer to the problem, however I read the change was made back in 4.1. I upgraded from 4.3 and this was not an issue before the upgrade. Sync me runs smoothly in the background and doesn't bother me much so for now I'm going along with it.

System app fix
There's a simple fix without a third party syncing app if you're rooted. Use titanium backup to convert Textra to a system app and all your contact pictures should show right up. I know I'm a little late to the party, but I figured I'd throw this out there in case anyone was still looking for a fix.

This process worked for me too, except I used FX File Explorer to move the apk to the system/app folder using root explorer. (I didn't have the donate version of Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.) Just needed to reboot and all the contact pics showed up. Sprint HTC One M7. (Android 4.4.3 but also worked on 4.4.2). Thanks for this great tip!

[Q] Facebook on xperia z3c

Whenever I click on a Name on the facebook the page does not open. The click is registered but the page does not open. The behavior seems random as at times the page opens immediately. Sometimes I have to long press on the name to open the page.
If I click on the pictures icons etc it open immediately.
Not sure this is a problem with the app or with the phone or if it some settings on the app.
Has anyone else faced this problem

Theres nothing wrong with your phone. My friend have a HTC same problem. Its a FB problem. Updates will come

Yeah, I've got the same behavior on my z3c as well. No problems on my N7 or Moto G. Tried the latest apk from apkmirror but that didn't solve the problem.

I gave up using the Facebook app because it's always so buggy and it eats battery. FB fixes one thing and breaks another with every update.

Here, it's the fb messenger app which crashes every couple of messages sent / received or so...

Not getting Hangouts notifications after Nougat update

Hello All,
I decided to flash the 7.0 factory image last night and everything seems to going very smoothly except I do not get any notifications from Hangouts unless I actually go into the app. I did go in to and disable the battery optimization on it however they are still not coming through. Is this an issue anyone is having? I can't think of anything else I could do so I'm wondering if maybe this is a bug.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I've had this problem many times with Hangouts over the years and I know people who have stopped using it due to this issue.
I was having this issue with all my chat notifications (internet based chat), flashed a custom ROM and it seems to be working better.
I am not sure how to fix it, a factory reset is all I can suggest.

I'm a big Hangouts user (with my Google Voice number), and I'm getting notifications as normal under Nougat. I get a drop-down that lets me reply when a message comes in, which quickly scrolls back up and is replaced by the normal hangouts notification icon. I did a straight OTA upgrade to 7 from 6.

Just saw this post and wanted to know if anyone came up with a solution for this problem.

Facebook notifications issue.

Hello everyone,im curious to know if anyone else is experiencing problems with Facebook app that is pre-installed on our devices? I seem to be having issues with my notifications not clearing in the app when i log in and then go and read them. They remain blue after i check them for some reason and do not go white like they should. At first i thought it might be an issue with Facebook itself,but all my other Android devices are clearing the read notifications and my laptop also when i log in via the internet.
Ive tried clearing cache and data for the app and even disabled it so i can re-start it but all to no avail. My notifications in the app are still not clearing and it is really annoying as i dont know whicpg are previously read and which are not. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me please?
