Just switched back to windows mobile from android when the HD2 came out. One of my biggest issues is the fact that I do not receive notifications for messages/alerts from fb on my home or notifications screen. You have to go into the FB app and refresh to see anything new. Does anyone know of an app/solution. The SMS notifications don't work quite well.
I know what you are talking about with the notifications pooping up at the top. I know that my Mom, Wife, and sister all have Android Devices and they all hate that feature. I don't know of a way to get that, however there is the Facebook Tab you could install that could eliminate one step and you just slide to the Facebook Tab and hit refresh.

Could try that. leave it running in the backrground and you get a pop up notifaction whenever you get a new comment or message. I used it for a while but i got rid of my Facebook cause its a pain in the ass!
You can setup Facebook (the site, not anything related to your phone) to send you e-mails for your notifications...
...which would ostensibly come to your phone...
use FIM. It runs in the background and delivers a WM notification if there is an update on FB.
I was actually coming on here to post that. I came across the app and it's amazing. Does everything I need. Notifcations, Chat, etc. Thanks Guys!

Hello everyone.
So first of all I love this phone, the speed, the capabilities and especially the battery life.
What I don't feel is tied to just this phone is me not being able to get facebook notifications. I get a notification if I receive a new message but that's all.
This happened on my Note 3 as well. I have logged in on a friends phone into my facebook account and the same thing. I do not get any notifications. I even used the old method of trying to log in on a blackberry and that didn't work either.
What I have noticed in Facebook Account settings is that I can not check on "group post or comments" under my notification settings.
I'm thinking it's some old app that I used on another phone that stopped this from working but I could be wrong. I have tried to turn off app on the platform setting and still nothing works.
All I receive now is the number of notifications "number" on the Facebook app icon. Don't shoot me but I like getting the actual notifications from Facebook to my phone to alert me.
Does any of you kind souls have an idea to how I can fix this? Or something you have tried that got your notifications working again.
I know about some third party apps but that's not what i'm looking for if I can help it.
Any help or ideas help.
Thank you
Did you got a solution?
I have this issue since a year and I cannot fix it. It's related to my account because whenever I log in to any other account, I got notifications.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I've tried everything from deleting app data to a factory reset.
I am still not getting any notifications for Facebook. The only type of notifications I am getting is the Icon Badge.
Yes I have notifications turned on for Facebook.
Mine work but the only widget is missing

My S7E seems to be automatically clearing my Facebook notifications (plus some other notifications too). I have no idea why it is doing this.

How do you know it's doing this? Can you see the notifications pop up for a split second?

Well first I kept hearing my notification sound and when checking had no notifications. But then while using the phone I noticed notifications pop up for a second and instantly dissapear.
This phone seems to have a mind of it's own as some of my settings are turning themselves on and off.

It's definitely something odd going on.
When you responded to this post, I got the Tapatalk notification instantly however my Gmail isn't updating on it's own all of the time which means the push notifications don't come across. I have to do a manual refresh in the Gmail app. With Facebook, I am getting the badge icon instantly but I am getting no sound or banner notifications with the phone on or at idle.
I normally don't use the app. I'm not a big FB fan but the app is working fine for me. I only use FB for a few mobile games. But I'm getting notifications without any issues.
I seem to have fixed my Facebook notifications or at least I think I did. So far it has worked with a few test posts I made.
For some reason, I think this has to do with migrating to the iPhone and then switching back.
Anyhow, I downloaded and synced Facebook with my old Nexus 7 that we keep around to keep our 3 year old daughter entertained with when we go to restaurants.
What happened is kind of strange. I started getting notifications on my S7 instantly but now I am not getting the notifications on the Nexus 7. Anyone else find this odd?
i have kinda the same thing. it give me notifications but only on the app widget. it shows the number of notifications but not a notification in the bar on top. i have to keep the facebook app on my main screen so when i turn it on it shows if i have any notifications in the app. it has bugged me like crazy.

I don't even have the option to put the Facebook widget on my homescreen. Where did you find the widget?
Also, it sounds like you are having the same issues I was. I had the facebook icon sitting on my home screen and it would show the icon badge for how many notifications I had but I wasn't getting the notification banners at the top.
I don't understand how syncing Facebook with a old Nexus 7 cleared this issue up but so far the notifications on my S7 seem to be working.
I've had no push notifications for about a year and a half on my HTC One M7, and still the same issue now on the S7 Edge, however I do get the widget notifications at least. I have checked all my Facebook settings and all notifications are enabled. Dont know why I just stopped getting push notification. Wonder if its something on my Facebook account.
I am not getting any Facebook notifications either. I migrated from an iPhone 6S and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.
Not sure how I would go about fixing it though.
I have never owned an iPhone so it's not that for me

That's what I am thinking. Do you have another device laying around like a tablet or another phone? If so, try loading your Facebook account on it. If you don't then maybe you could try a friends phone.

I have a backup Galaxy S5 that I could try it on. I'll see if I have some time this week to experiment.
Might be worth logging into your Facebook on the desktop version and going into settings, Notifications, Mobile and seeing if something has been disabled in here.
I wasn't getting Facebook notifications on the Messenger app, just the badge and icon. Took me ages to finally find out that somehow that at option was disabled when I logged into the app on my S7. Not done this on any other phone.
Not sure what happened but I'm getting notifications now.

Yea. Mine have been off and on since yesterday. Actually, all of my notifications have been off and on since I got the phone on Saturday.
Samsung needs to fix these bugs......Fast
So, whenever i get more than one message from the same person on whatsapp i can just see the last message. I tried expanding that notification bubble but it doesnt.. so if I have to read all the messages I will have to open the app.
Is anybody else facing the same issues with Whatsapp? I checked with other messaging apps (FB messenger, Hike, Text messages); all have expanding notifications bubble displaying all messages after I expand the bubble except Whatsapp.
I am not sure if this is a Nougat thing or just V20.
Any way to change this?
My notifications are not showing at all on Whatsapp. I have to open it and go to the person or group and they suddenly pop up.
I've turned on notifications from the settings on the phone and in the app itself, still nothing.
Whatsapp say its the phone the phone people say it whatsapp......the usual customer no-service. It's obviously an issue.
I hate change, nothing ever works the same, never mind better.

That's actually worse than what I am facing..
I hope this issue gets resolved soon..
I am just curious how many people are facing the same/similar issue
All of us, is the sh*t of Whatsapp app, they know that they have this issue solved at Facebook messenger , but not yet on WHatsapp
yep I remember back on my s7 on 6.0 the pop-up worked awesome when you clicked from the drop down. you could scroll between messages. not on 7.0!

Just got my S10+ this week, and have been busy playing with settings, etc..I'm coming over from the Note 8 (AT&T).
Question for everyone. Do you prefer the built in Samsung Messages app, or Google Messages. I like both, especially now with the dark them more readily available.
What makes me lean more towards Google Messages is the ability to get messages on the web/browser. Was using it all the time on the Note 8.
Wanted to ask if anybody has switched back/forth between the two messaging apps, and if they have encountered any issues? I had switched from Google Messages back to Samsung's message app on the Note 8, and my messages were being sent to the wrong person. That's not a good situation to be in. I ended up switching back because of that.
Also, I noticed there is an updated apk for Samsung messages. My S10+ is using v 10.0.10.111. Looks like they are up to v 10.0.20.37. Anybody install that apk? Any good/bad things in there?
TIA
Coming from an S7 edge i was forced off Google Messages due to the handling of group messages. Sometimes it would work but other times texts that belonged in a group would come in separately. I would then have to click to download the text before it popped back into the group. Other times those texts would show up as expired (even though i just received them) and i would never see what it was. Needless to say i couldn't use it anymore so i ended up using Samsung Messages which never has that issue. Now that i'm on S10+ i'm tempted to try Google Messages again in hopes that it works the way is should as i do prefer it over Samsung Messages just due to the look and of course the web messages.
I've been flip-flopping between: Textra, Google Messages, and Samsung messages.......I've decided to stick with Google Messages.
The Samsung app, feels dated.... I do like the notifications I get when sending to other (At&t) users using the Samsung messaging app (tells when read, or they're replying...ect...), but I only have 1 person out of my 200+ contacts that it's worked on (my 17yr old son, who hates the Samsung messaging app). Plus, it just feels dated. No swipe to delete and long messages require you to "read more".
Textra is the lightest of the bunch, and I've been using for the past 4 or 5 years..... It's also the most customizable. But, Google has upped their game on the last release and incremental updates. It just feels "native" to the phone now. I also like the fact when you receive a PIN number, it recognizes this and copies just the PIN for you.
Google Messages gets my vote
BTW: No issues with group messages for me on the Google Message app
I like the Google messages app very much, but since the update to OneUI I have been using the Samsung version as it's good enough and themes the same way as the other Samsung stock apps, which I like a lot.
I prefer Truecaller messages because of its spam feature..
I love Google messages over Samsung. It worked perfect when i was with ATT. Now that i'm with Verizon I've had issues with google messages. They would come through late or not come at all. Switching to Samsung messages seemed to clear this issue up, as far as i know. No one has said they texted me and i didn't reply. Although that doesn't mean its working correctly, i may not have been aware of missing texts.. Anyone else had any issues with Verizon? i read somewhere a while back that Verizon text messages only worked right when using Verizon messages app. Not sure why that is... Or if it's true. If anyone can shed any light on whether there is, or is not an issue with Verizon messaging if not using Verizon app.

Been using Google Messages for last like 2 years and never seem to have had any problems on Verizon besides the typical sending and receiving from an iPhone of videos etc
Textra every day of the week!
One more benefit of using Google messages is you can enable chat feature now.

Not in the United States. At least not yet.
It is live for 2 of my phones now
Using Google messages, but really like the ability to pin conversations to the top in Samsung app.
Sent feature request to Google..lol
I prefer Android Messages over the stock one.
I love google messages but 2 minor things why I don’t use it on my s10 .
1. Wish google messages had schedule send sms feature . I use that quite a bit . No where in google messenger can I find this option .
2. The notification doesn’t have a pop up view bubble, quick read notification come on the top of the screen when I receive text . Couldn’t find a way to get google messages to do that like stock app notification does .
If there is a fix for both I’d switch back to google messages.

I prefer Samsung over Google mainly because of the ability to pin conversation and star message, the pop up bubble.
If Samsung had scheduler that would be awesome.
There's Qsms which is quite good but I don't want additional apps installed when Samsung messages works atm .
I use Samsung messages at the moment. But the one thing I really miss from Google messages is swipe to archive conversations...I liked to be able to hide conversations I don't use a lot without having to delete them.

You can enable the bubble for Google Messenges notifications in Advanced Settings/Smart Pop-up View.
