Facebook Notifications not working? Possible real Fix...

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

Is there a modified app I could try?

Not getting text notifications

I am receiving notifications via sms know phone but not to the gear. Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you have sms notifications enabled in gear manager?
I'm getting some - but maybe 25% of them only. Very odd that something so simple could have so many problems.
I am not getting any texts or emails. Quite frustrating.
Only the default messenger app seems to work, no 3rd party one. Also if the phone is unlocked at the time the notification comes in, it will not be sent to the gear.
Notifications need a serious overhaul to enable system wide notification support like the pull down menu in android....
Remember, it's pretty new territory for android so patience is a virtue. Early adopters will feel most of the pain ^^

If it's still the default settings you wont get email notifications. The Gmail app isn't selected by default and it can only tell you you have an email with the gmail app anyway. It won't show who it's from etc, only the stock Samsung email app can give you info on emails when they come in. If you aren't getting texts, you should open the gear manager app on the Note 3, select "Settings", then select "Notification" and make sure "Messages" is checked.

Mine are all checked in setting. Still no notifications beinf pushed. Spoke with 2 representatives of Samsung both had no resolution. Anyone else?
Are tou usi g any other bluetooth devices while the gear is connected?
Try removing those.
Also worthwhile removing the gear using the gear manager > paired gear > remove before last resorting to factory reset?
Maybe something buggered up during the initial setup.

I didn't mean that it's all default settings. I meant I am using built in apps including Gmail. I don't even get notification that there is a text or an email. It is also set to receive messages in Gear Manager.

Are you using a Note 3? Your sig says Note 2. If you aren't using a Note 3 that is probably the problem, If you are you might want to try resetting the Gear in settings and then re-pair it and see if notifications start after that.
For what it's worth I've had zero problems getting any notifications I've selected on the Gear.

Remember, if your phone is on, the notification will not be sent to the Gear.

Restarting or turning notifications in gear manager off then on temporarily makes them notifications work again
Also make sure Blocking Mode isn't currently active.
I'm now getting the notification issue above, but with a variance...
My Samsung Note 3 was sending all kinds of notifications to my Gear (Mk.1) with no problem at all.
However I was having other problems and decided to do a Factory Reset.
After the Factory Reset it no longer sends any notifications at all to the Gear.
I have other apps that communicate successfully two-way with the Gear but not a single notification from any app makes it through.
I have done all of the things suggested above to no avail.
The notifications are turned on, additional notifications for other apps are turned on, but still no notifications whatsoever arrive on the Gear. The Gear Manager app has permissions for Notifications
The Note 3 is rooted and running Android 4.3.
The Gear Mk.1 says: s/w V700XXUBNC1 Model SM-V700.
Any ideas?

I had a replacement phone and decided not to turn S Voice in the gear manager and had no SMS notifications. It took a few days to work it out.
I was getting other notifications but it was the SMS that wasn't coming through. I turned is Voice on in the phone but it still didn't work and realised it not turned it on when setting up the Gear Manager... I'd not checked the S Voice box on its first start up!
To go back I uninstalled the Gear Manager then reinstalled it and when the setup screen came back and I got my SMS notifications back by running S Voice on the Gear as well as the phone. It may not be the issue in this thread but just wanted to save anyone the hassle that gets this.

It went to update for me, and gets to Installing 11/20 and resets... over and over and over. I don't have my cradle for the gear with me at work, and I'm not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?
EDIT: Fixed - Manually uninstalled gear manager and gave it time to uninstall all of it's providers, and re-installed via the samsung apps app. Seems to be working fine now.
I'm in Canada and can't see the update yet.

Is it worse than the previous version as that's not working with Gmail either... Whenever I get one email in my priority inbox, I get about 3-4 notifications for emails from my regular inbox (which I don't get alerts for on my phone). I also don't get the notification for the email that was actually received. Also, every time this happens, my gear disocnnects and reconnects so I think that has something to do with why I'm getting these other multiple notifications.

My gmail is working great. It also appears that notifications are clearing for me again when I clear the email on the phone. Not sure about other apps. I still have a stuck "Missed Call" notification from a few days ago.
I'm still showing 1.5.121601 in Gear Manager. Is the update automatic, or is there a notification on the phone? The misaligned Gmail notifications -- getting a new email, and the notification on Gear showing an older email -- are driving me batty.
Edit: I found the update in the Samsung Apps store. D'oh!

I basically just broke it out into a bulleted list.
Do anyone here using LINE Naver app. I just have a question. Why does our galaxy gear doesnt alert us whenever there is an incoming call? Only it notify me a new incoming messages. But for incoming calls and missed calls doesnt do anything. Hope someone could enlighten me. Just got my gear and updated to 1.5.123002
Just got the update to 1.5.123002. Doing some testing and now it seems to be grouping emails together into one notification. This makes it so that I see less of the message. Before the update, all the emails were separated in their own notification.

Yes I got the update this morning, I never had issues with the previous update either. I get all notifications that I want, including gmail, gnow, etc. They get marked read on phone if I read them on the watch. I'm on stock gear, note 3 with custom rom. Yes there are others with this issue, just like there are others for whom it works perfectly. To say gmail is NOT STABLE is misinformation. It may be for you, and that's how it should be stated.

Works absolutely fine with GMail....and I use it a LOT.....better battery since update....and camera pinch zoom on pics is much better....by the way I am running this on my Note 2 JB 4.3, and I have no issues at all. Was thinking about going the Note 3 route.....no need now, this partnership works just great for me. I can make calls using s voice without even touching the watch....sound is good. Right now, everything is fine. A few more decent apps would be nice though.

Issues with Android 5.0.1

Hello everyone.
I've updated to 5.0.1 and I've been having issues with updates basically I'm not getting notifications for my Emails or WhatsApp or any other app for that matter, i have to manually go into my apps to get my notifications. For example, once I go to my WhatsApp i get my messages all at the same time (iOS style) and also my emails, I have to go into my mail box to refresh to get my emails. Is this an issue or i'm missing something in the settings?
I searched before starting this thread couldn't find anything.

Sounds like you need to do a factory reset. Always good with an update anyway.

tell me, are you using greenify? i had the same issue for a day, until i found whats causing it. i never greenify my apps with notifications first off. greenify has a setting to keep notifications, when i enabled it i stopped getting any notifications. as soon as i disabled it and rebooted, i got notifications again.
I just did a factory reset and it seems that it has solved the issues so far so good.

Facebook Notifications not coming through

I have a Note 8 on At&t and Verizon. I have Facebook Messenger on both phones. Most notifications do not come through, i do not see a chat head pop up nor do i see a badge on the app. They only pop up when i open the app. I have reinstalled the app on the Att Note 8, i have tried installing Messenger Lite. All other apps still work fine (WhatsApp, messages, Duo, Etc) This is only a facebook problem. I have made sure the permissions are all set to yes, it is on the internal storage, volume is up, notifications in app and on the phone are set to allow. But it will randomly show notifications but a majority of the time it will not show or make a sound for any facebook messenger notifications. I have tried with wifi connected and not connected. Once i close the app it is like it no longer runs in the background.
Any suggestions?

Not sure why they're not coming through. I have a T-Mobile variant with no issues of messages and chat heads through messenger. I know you said you have checked your permissions but got to menu>settings>apps>messenger and check them there.
try "metal" from the play store and see if notifications work. it's a lightweight version of facebook app.
I have tried facebook lite and i have even set my facebook messenger in the special access to off but previously i had them all off. But i'll cross my fingers and see.
I am in the same boat. Same issue. All other notifications work except FB messenger. For a while i had messenger lite for a while and then installed the full messenger and that is when things stopped working. I've tried everything except wiping my phone at this point. To me it seems like the system keeps putting the app to sleep although i have as not monitored app.
I tried using Dual Messenger option ... and let it install 2nd app for Facebook and Messenger ... then i use my account on the 2nd app for both ... notification works perfectly. hope will help.

It seems to be working with the 2nd app. But my OCD kicks in and I can't stand that orange icons. :crying: but I will take it. BTW if anyone plans on wiping their phone it won't fix it. I just installed the Oreo beta with a complete wipe and didn't fix it.
Sorry been busy with work. I will try the dual message app and see if that works. I am using Nova Launcher on both my Note 8's weirdly enough it seems i get the messages on my Verizon variant but not my At&t one. Both have battery optimizer turned off. But thank you for all the feed back. I'll try dual messenger now.
