Facebook Messenger problem? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have an issue with the messenger app from Facebook.
The issue is; it only seems to work on 3g, but not WiFi.
When on 3g it works fine, receives push notifications, sends messages etc..
But on WiFi messages are received, but at the top of the app it hangs on the orange bar that says "connecting". I can't send messages, or receive push notifications, but weirdly enough I can receive messages. Can anyone explain what's causing this? All other apps receive push notifications and work as they should on WiFi.
Yes I have tried reinstalling and clearing data and all that.

No more notification or text messages. Need help

Recently I'm no longer able to receive text message or email notifications. I can send text messages and browse the internet (with and without wifi) I can still read my emails but I don't get any notifications that I have them.
The larger problem is that I don't receive text messages any more. I also dont get anything from SpinVox (doesn't turn my voice mails into text anymore. Also dont get notifications for my voice mail)
The problem start around when I updated from Cyanogenmod 4.2.14.1 to 4.2.15.1 but I don't think that is the problem. As I think I could still receive texts for a little while.
Thanks for the help.
If I go into settings -> data sync it says gmail, calender, contacts were all last synced on the 21st. Which seems about right when my texts stopped working. If I unselect, then reselect, the sync icon appears but nothing happens it just sits there.(Still doesn't report that I have emails, even thought at the time I did)

Hangout notifications not working

Is anyone having a problem with Hangouts? I am not receiving notifications when someone tries to chat with me. SMS come through and notify fine, but Hangout messages do not load or notify until I open the app.
Not had that problem, but Hangouts will force close on me from time to time until I clear it's cache or reboot the device. I really wish it wasn't an uninstallable system app.
I don't receive a notification if I'm on data unless I go into the app. I only get it when on WiFi. I had the same issue on my nexus 5 though.

[Q] Gmail not receiving Push Notifications

T-Mobile Galaxy S6 with Looper v2.0 installed here. I'm not receiving push notification on my Gmail app. I'll receive an email, and never get a notification from the app. Anyone having this issue or have a fix?
This happens when connected to WiFi or Mobile.

Mi5: BB HUB+ for android not syncing properly

So, I get all my accounts running for a while.
All Whatsapp and email sync as normal for about a few hours.
After that, everything stops coming through the hub.
All the notifications work fine through the android notification pulldown (whatsapp, SMS, gmail app), but they don't come through the HUB.
If I clear data and basically re-install the app, it works again for a brief period before having sync issues.
Is this a software issue with the phone?
Currently running MIUI Global 8.1.2.0
SMS messages and phone call log showing up.
Outgoing EMAIL shows up.
No incoming Whatsapp or email messages getting through. (Even though they show up properly in the notifications pull down through their proper apps respectively)

Major issue with delayed push notifications

I have been experiencing delayed notifications on my Note 9, mainly with Facebook Messenger, but it applies also to the Line messenger app and Outlook, so it's not confined to one app. It's probably just that I use Messenger often, so notice it more with Messenger
The symptoms are a random and sometimes very long delay between sending a message and receiving a notification, measured in minutes to hours. Sometimes, I'll receive a bunch of notifications from multiple apps when opening the screen.
Other times, even opening the screen does not cause me to receive notifications. I can be actively using the phone and there will still be a random delay on notifications.
For example, I was using my phone earlier to web browse and my girlfriend sent me a message. I did not get a notification. After 30 minutes, she called and asked me why I was not reading her message. Opening the messenger app, I saw the message there (as well as the time at which it was sent) and about one minute later the notification came in.
Similarly, I can be using the phone and someone will video call me on Messenger. I don't get a notification until I actually open the app (I know this since my other phone that has the Messenger app installed on it rings, so I know I have an incoming call).
I can test notification delay by using one account from a computer to send a message to the account linked to my phone, so I know exactly when the message was sent. But the notification delay, even while using the phone actively, is still present and measured in minutes to hours, whereas the other phone receives the notification immediately.
It is NOT doze mode at fault. I have explicitly disabled ALL battery optimizations as well as turning off doze mode with ADB at boot time.
It's not bluetooth, even though some users in other threads have pointed to bluetooth being at fault.
I have cleared cache, uninstalled all updates for Google Play Services and Google Play and reinstalled them.
The phone itself seems capable of receiving push notifications correctly. I can use the push notification tester app to setup a high priority notification for, let's say 10 minutes from now. Then I shut the screen. After 5 minutes, I send a message to my phone with Facebook Messenger. No notification is received for this message.
After 10 minutes, the Push Notification Tester app triggers its notification correctly, which is received immediately. And then shortly afterwards, the notification comes in from Facebook Messenger.
Clearing cache and data on Messenger doesn't make any difference, and as I said in the first paragraph, it does not appear to be the app, since other apps are affected.
This is driving me crazy. I miss out on messages and important emails.
Is anyone aware of any solution to this problem? I just see a whole bunch of snake oil remedies on the net, but no real solution.
It appears to be something that might be related to notification priority, judging by the behaviour of the Push Notification Tester app, but this is just speculation on my part
