Facebook notifications issue. - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

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?

[Q] Facebook App Issue

I'm using Facebook for Android and I seem to having a problem. I keep unchecking the Notifications box because I don't want to receive notifications, but the app continues to give me notifications. What gives?
And PLEASE don't tell me to use Flow. I tried that and had some dealbreaking problems.
Bump. Anyone? This is really bothering me.

Facebook App Has Taken Over Share Menu In Multiple Apps

Ever since I update my DE to KK, I've noticed that Facebook has become the default share option in a number of apps including Chrome and Engadget.
I have reset the defaults on all apps to no avail. I've uninstalled all FB updates to see if an update was causing the issue, again to no avail. The only thing that corrects the problem is disabling FB altogether.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm running stock 4.4, non-rooted.

Turns out this is a known issue with KitKat and not phone specific.

[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!

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.
