[Q] Best way to receive XDA notifications? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Slightly general question regarding the XDA Premium app but I don't receive any notifications, when someone quotes me for example. I'm on the latest ASOIP rom and Hellscore kernel.
It seems someone from the HTC One M8 forum is having the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/push-notifications-xda-premium-tapatalk-t3118398/post61075079
Essentially my question is, what;s the best app to get notifications from XDA on our Nexus 6, without having the check the web version each time?

Tapatalk works great. It's what I use and I get notifications

Tapatalk is massively unreliable for many, due to the APIs not really being maintained on XDA (works great on other forums). I've seen many threads about Tapatalk.
I think email notifications may be the best right now.

Is it possible to enable email notifications of post quotes? Forgive me if I am missing an obvious setting, though I can only seem to see options to:
Receive Email from Administrators
Receive Email from Other Members
Receive Friendship Request Email
Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages
"...receive email notification of new replies to that thread.."
Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages
The main notification I want is when quoted, if possible!

It's got nothing to do with which app you are using. XDA is just not consistent/reliable in notifications when someone quotes you. I have this same problem, whether I'm on my N6, using XDA Premium app, or on my computer using Chrome. It works OK for a couple of weeks, then (for no apparent reason) it stops working for a few days, followed by hit & miss notifications, then it'll start working again.

I use Tapatalk and if someone quotes me I get a notification from Tapatalk and also an email

Good. Though for most of us, this doesn't happen. Thats why we're saying its unreliable

Tapatalk Pro works fine for me and I haven't missed anything so far, the XDA
(Premium) app is terrible imo.

XDA app works......but FC's when I sign in

maybe someone can help. I have XDA app ( free and premium applies to this) and I am able to read posts as long as I am a guest. when I sign in it seems OK as I can browse the threads. but when I try open a post the app force closes on me.
I have read some people have no issues with this app and some do. I have a wifi only xoom. I'm wondering if the issue is limited to this model and works fine on 3g model?
if anyone has any input please let me know here. thanks

I never had a problem with it on my 3g version but once I switched to wifi I got the same issues as you. Xda, slacker, pandora and many other apps just won't work on my wifi xoom....very frustrating as I use all'of those apps often....in the end its not just you
Same with me. It also does not remember my sign in and I have to sign in every time. wifi xoom
Has anyone contacted the developers of Tapatalk?
http://tapatalk.com/
The more people that contact them, the better chance it will get fixed.
This problem does not occur on tapatalk, only when using xda app (for me and a lot of others). Tapatalk works fine excet for this weird blur on long OPs.

Yes. Once you get into the xda forum from tapatalk app its almost identical.
I don't do software, my brain isn't wired that way, but I will look at the two and see what I can find. Sometimes I get lucky. Will update OP if I find anything.

[Q] Exchange Email Formatting

Hi, has anyone found a way around the awful exchange mail fomatting on the Optimus 2?
My emails are just all plain text in one big long, hard to read line and all squashed up.

Notifications

Hey Guys/Girls.
If this has been spoke about before then i sincerely apologise and please just redirect me.
How can i edit the notifications i get for text msgs etc at top of screen? I liked the function on my iPhone 4 where it had options of telling you who texted or displaying partial msg and name. Is there something similar for my Note?
regards,
Barry.

Hey Brock,
Looking for a solution that cuts out notifications appearing on top bar altogether. Is proving problematic especially if i am showing my screen to someone and a msg comes through and they can read it :/
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Try Go Sms Pro you can turn the privacy mode on and in the status bar there will be a notification "new message" instead of the message itself

What do you want?
Thanks abagnale, ill try it.
And hippo, i thought that was evident from my questions. The underlying requirement is to not have my entire msg displayed on notification bar, rather i would prefer a name or simple "msg received from" notification.
Thanks anyway.

Great Rom, but a few glithes
Hi,
I used the 12.12.12 build for one full day and I must say that the rom is fast and smooth.
There are 2 things that bother me at the moment:
1. ringtone rings only once and will not loop. I tried most from the list. I now use a looong music as ringtone and temporarily "solve" the problem;
2. cannot sync exchange mail...just showing "Waiting for sync" screen forever. I am sure I have the right settings. Gmail is fine though.
I performed a FULL WIPE before installing the rom. Am I missing something here?
Edit: I didn't have these issues in PA.
Thanks.

I've been using PAC mostly but have tried them all. I can only test during the evenings though, I go back to my daily while my daughter is awake for the video capabilities. I've been spoiled by the HQ camera mod. Hopefully 1080p recording will get sorted out (patiently waiting) and I'll be on board full time...then maybe a few changes to the media_profiles.xml will make the camera perfect.
Thanks for all the work so far though I am impressed with everyone's efforts.
Im On 12 14 but I just added my exchange account without a hitch..signed mess as and calendar like I told it to. Also just got a phone call that rang til I missed the call. Maybe a bad flash?

If your ringtones are mp3 files they might not loop....I've found ogg ringtones to work fine though.

Thank you for the advice.
Instead of struggling with exchange sync and ringtone no loop, I finally installed 12.14.12 from scratch.
Problems solved!
Great Rom.

ASAP? Cause the conversation you're having in that text is so important? Please don't PM me asking to look at something ASAP, especially when it's something as trivial as that.
Next time I have PAC flashed, I'll look at it, and I'll let you know. I know that I've gotten MMS in all my builds, and not once has the pic overlapped the text like that - so I would assume it's something local on your device. I won't be able to tell 100% til I have PAC flashed though. I'll flash it ASAP...
Also, in forums like this, if someone has an answer, they'll answer you. If they don't know, instead of posting a useless "I don't know" post, they don't answer. I saw this earlier, and once I had an answer I fully planned on providing it. Instead, I was forced to issue this reply.

I just flashed and tested, and saw the same as you. I tried a couple of things with no success, so I may have to look into it a little deeper. Just curious, have you tried a 3rd party messaging app like handcent or gosms? Do they behave the same way?
I just flashed back to AOKP and the same thing is happening. Maybe I hadn't received any MMS before, I could have sworn I had. I'll flash CM later and see if it's doing it too, at least that will tell me if it's something I introduced or something else that's going on.
Another thought I had - try playing with the DPI for the Messaging app, see if you can adjust it to a suitable level. It looks like a bunch of things overlap - leading me to think there might be an issue with an overlay somewhere..
Thanks but nope I've tried so much in the messaging settings I've messed with the looks colors backgrounds everything and still nothing I'll try go sms
Edit---- go SMS worked flawlessly

Google Allo is here!

For anyone that hasn't already heard, Google just released Allo. As of this post it is not on Google play yet, but I bring a link to the apk from India, who already have it.

Fair warning: there is no [worthy] SMS integration (yet?), However, the Google assistant is pretty fun to talk to. Someone at Google is gonna get a good laugh when they read my suggestion.

hahahah awesome bro!
Another Google flop.
Why is it so....lacking?! Even reply from the notification is limited to the quick replies from allo. Google made replies from notification along with this app and Nougat, but didnt implement it correctly? This is a stripped down hangouts. Can't even use it for SMS. it just doesnt make any sense.....uninstalled in 15 minutes. Will reconsider if some minor, yet crucial tweaks are made.
With no sms integration. This isnt going to last very long. The fact that you can't have it like hangouts where it's both an sms and instant messaging is going to kill it. I hate. No loathe the fact that now I have to have yet another app for instant messaging and a separate app for sms
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Another useless google attempt. I don't use any google product if there is a good alternative. This company has so much user info it's scary.
Absolutely pointless! Uninstalled
If they add a web interface, it will replace Hangouts/SMS with those close to me very quickly because of the SMS fallback. But without a way to use it on other devices, I have no use for it.
This app is completely pointless. I don't care how pretty it is.
Whenever I sit and try my best to like an app, its usually gone for me in a day. The assistant is interesting, so maybe thats worth working with, but I will stick to my messaging app. I use pushbullet on my laptop so I can send/receive sms, still works well.
I really want to like it but if it can't be set as default SMS, doesn't auto backup my SMS, has no desktop client, doesn't import all my current messaging history I can't see myself using it. From the gripes I'm seeing around comment sections I know many feel the same.
I enjoy it for what it's worth, an IM client. Most of my friends and family are using it now so getting the most of it. Admittedly though, if your circle isn't into it becomes useless. The sms integration (?) is bizarre to say the least

I was ery excited about this because i thought it was gonna be on par with imessage (before iOS10) But i was extremely disappointed to see the horrible SMS integration. Sure i can probably convince 2-3 of my friends to use it But i dont want to have to remember who has it and who does not.
Correct me if im wrong but i believe that during the demo at Google IO that they said for peope who do not have it it would post your google assistant stuff via MMS so that the people who your SMSing would see it.
I like it but with iMessage iOS10 update and the lack of SMS its really dumb.
Hello folks,
