I went and got my Droid Turbo Thursday. I installed twitter, turned on notifications and selected which twitter accounts I wanted to receive notifications from. At first it worked perfectly, but starting saturday I noticed that I wasn't getting notifications anymore. I uninstalled the twitter app, reinstalled it, restarted my phone, unfollowed and refollowed the twitter accounts, turned mobile notifications off and back on for each of the twitter accounts. I get notifications from gmail and text messages, but for whatever reason twitter notifications don't show up. Every time I uninstall twitter on my phone, I'll get maybe 2 or 3 notifications before they just stop coming again. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on what this could be?
I created a new twitter account and the problem went away, so I'm guessing there is something wrong with my other twitter account. So if anyone else experiences this issue, create a new twitter account and see if that fixes the problem.
Twitter Push Notifications Not Working!
I'm having the same issue as Kenfolk but I really can't create a new twitter account. That is crazy. My notifications are turned on, on both my phone and on my twitter app. However, the only notifications I receive are the basics- like when multiple ppl retweet the same tweet- I do NOT get notifications for when my favorites tweet. I don't understand how my cheap POS lucid could deliver these notifications in real time but new, fancy, expensive Droid Turbo can't without me creating a new account.
Some one please solve this! Or I'm taking my phone back to Verizon this week.
Personally, I don't use Twitter on my Turbo. They are too much like Facebook and want permissions they don't really need. Like http://www.cnet.com/news/twitter-is-now-tracking-the-apps-you-download/ tracking what other apps you have on your phone. I installed both on my Kindle Fire which doesn't contain any contacts and only has a few apps on it.
But I wouldn't blame the Turbo phone if you are having Twitter issues. It could just be that the Twitter app hasn't yet been updated to work with the Turbo. The joys of coding an application for Android is that there are hundreds of different phones out there running a slightly different version and this is a programmer's nightmare. You can only do your best and fix the bugs as they happen. Before giving up on the Turbo, I would try contacting Twitter to see if they are aware of the issue.
Yea, I don't think it is an issue with the Droid Turbo itself, since I had a similar issue on my Droid X2. As it turns out creating a new twitter account only temporarily fixed the problem. I went in, unfollowed and refollowed the accounts and turned mobile notifications back on and sometimes that fixes the problem. To be honest I think it might be a problem with the app itself. I haven't had this problem in about a month, since I originally posted this, so I'm guessing that it just takes a little time for it to get back working. But ultimately creating a new twitter account didn't really solve my problem so I went back to my old account.
TL;DR Probably a twitter app problem not a Droid Turbo problem and only time will fix it.

I have everything in my sync and also configured in my facebook settings to receive the notifications....But so far, I just receive one time...Is set to sync every 30min...But it worked one time only....
I know that is a know issue, I just would like to know if someone know how to fix that...
I wanted to receive notifications when i have messages, comments and new requests....
I just configured everything in the facebook settings on my phone...is still not working....
You did know you can activate your phone through Facebook to receive sms notifications.
Sign into Facebook>Account>Account Settings>Mobile Tab
See if that will do what you want. Facebook sync is meh at best.
Added: "Standard messaging rates apply"
Facebook notification is badly broken across all android phones and there's no excuse for it

yeah i wish we had the iphones facebook notifications..the only good thing about the iphone lol
So still no fix for this? My notifications worked before the most recent Facebook app update. Way to go, Facebook.
If you use Hotmail for facebook, Just sync it via EAS in
Settings > Accounts and sync > Add account > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
You will get notifications via hotmail instantly.

Guys, I know this is an old thread but I want to see if someone can confirm that notifications work with this facebook apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200174
It is a blacked out version which I honestly think is better without notifications, but I started getting them after installing. So if anyone could confirm it works for them, great! If not, I got lucky and at least we have a cooler looking version of facebook.
FYI, I am new to rooting and did it for the very first time last night on my Droid 4, with some great advice from forum members, and I went throug and froze approxmately 40-45 apps and began getting "motorolacom.contacts" or similar, cant remember, warning when trying to edit and/or delete contacts. So I defrosted everything and re-froze apps in batches till I narrowed it down to, get this, yahoo calendar service, yahoo contacts, yahoo mail authenticator. It didn't seem to be just one, but a combo of two or more of them.
Don't freeze any of the motoblur system stuff. Just freeze the bloatware like BlockBuster, Kindle, MOG Music, etc.
I only froze yahoo mail stuff, is that considered motoblur apps?

That sounds familiar; I think Yahoo Authenticator may need to stay defrosted. In fact, my recollection is that you don't want to freeze any "authenticator package" or the Blur contacts system will be prone to FC.
This thread seems to lay the blame on freezing the Yahoo Mail Authenticator.
I have a family member on AT&T looking for a small-screen'd android device. This was my first thought, but she neither has nor wants a facebook account, and is not tech savvy at all. I also would not be able to help her set it up.
so the question is - how does setup go if you don't have a facebook account? do you just get dumped into stock android, or what?
(if someone can find a video of this that'd be amazing)
First thing the phone how's is ask you to sign into your Google account, like normal. Then it asks you to sign into Facebook, but you can hit the menu key, select home settings, and chose turn on Facebook home. At this point, you officially have a stock android experience.

Not sure if this will shock anyone, but I'm in the same situation, and would be unsurprised in there were quite a few people looking at this phone for their non-tech savy older relatives that don't have, nor desire, a facebook account.
This just became a top contendor for my grandmother, who, funny enough, got an HTC Status due to its small form factor and keyboard despite despising facebook.
EDIT: I guess I have another question along these lines. Is a facebook account required to utilize Chatheads for SMS? I tried using it on my own Galaxy Note for just SMS, and I cannot seem to get past the Messenger login screen without an FB login, or the create account page popping up.

Yes, a Facebook account is required to use Chat Heads, which is built into the Facebook Messenger app. The phone still ships with the stock Android SMS app though, so you're not completely boned by not logging into Facebook.

Coming from iPhone, I love the hardware. But, OS still seems to have some glitches. My biggest issue right not is email. My work email provides IMAP push IDLE, and never had problem with iPhone having email pushed immediately into my inbox.
Samsung or Android default email has been nothing but a headache. I've checked all the settings concerning sync include data usage > sync, etc, but the email will not sync. The funny thing is if I clear cash/data and reboot, reset the email account, PUSH will work for about 2-3 hours, then stops. It won't even pull by interval, and the only way to receive new email is to manually sync.
I've done it a number of times, and it always works for about a few hours, then simply stops. I've checked off peak schedule and any other settings that might interfere with push.
This is year 2013, and I cannot believe that a flagship android phone cannot push email consistently. This is true with my GMAIL as well. Is anyone else having the same issue? Doing a quick search, it seems like many people are having the same issue, and have given up. Having email pushed immediately is a very important feature for me, and I can't imagine android OS that's been around for many years hasn't figured this out. There seems to be no support from Samsungs's end.
If anyone can shed light, I'd really apprecaite it.
+1. I am using an LG G2 instead and all emails sync in real time with Push, no issues at all. However, on the N3 it just will not work, even after changing all the sync schedules and settings. If anyone know how to work around this, it would be awesome.

Actually, it seems push email support is just a rumor, and Samsung denies it.
What an embarrassment.
I don't get why is there a Push option if it doesn't work.. I thought it was a bug.
I've heard good things about K9 mail client from the Play Store and it has push functionality.

Not really helpful to your scenario, but I haven't had problems with push notifications using the baked in email client or with gmail.
Base email is tied via IMAP to an account on a webmail server I run.
Gmail is tied to my corporate google apps account.
Rooted on N900AUCUBMI1 baseband here.
Not that you should need a root to get this functionality, but maybe it would help?
Which baseband are you on? Maybe Push is broken in the newer build.
I've had trouble running stock on MI9, then rooted on MI1 and MI9. The type of email client doesn't seem to matter.
Odd. I am using Gmail for a few mail accounts and get quick delivery and all works fine. I have not tried the baked in email client on my Note 3, but I use it (with exchange) on my Note 2 without issue.
I guess instant mail delivery on my personal accounts isn't that critical to me but I can feel your pain.
If you are rooted, have you disabled any apps even remotely related to email?
If you are using gmail, do you have IMAP enabled within the Web client?

I am running everything stock. I haven't rooted it yet, but will eventually give it a go when the firmware matures a little.
I am able to get a quick delivery on GMAIL app. But, I think something is seriously broken with the stock email app. Most people will say that push is not a supported feature. But, it works for an hour or two, then it will stop working. Bigger issue is that it doesn't fetch emails reliably even with intervals set. The top status will say the last synced time, but the emails never arrive in my inbox until I load manually.
Given that Samsung cheated on the benchmarking score, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Samsung intentionally disabling push and pull feature. Just a guess. In fact, when I enable everything I used to run on iPhone (location service, bluetooth, wifi, google services, etc), N3 battery life falls pretty fast. I wonder if Samsung intentionally cropped polling for push to increase battery life.
Regardless, if push doesn't work property, this phone is not ready as a business tool. I spent the whole afternoon trying different combination, and I am about to give up. The only thing I haven't done is root, but I am not sure how that would affect the situation. I am also trying to find some sort of bug report page, but haven't found one.
This is a pretty major issue as my work requires immediate delivery of emails. I am keeping my fingers crossed until somebody crack this.
Spent the whole day resetting, deleting, adding account, playing with all sorts of sync settings, etc, and came to conclusion that the default email app is a horribly broken piece of junk. Keeping track of fetch interval and the stamp of the messages shows it cannot even pull the email on time from the server.
So I installed Evomail. What a difference! The app is beautifully designed, and has no problem pushing all my emails instantly. I am not sure if I am sold on the gesture thing as you can accidentally delete emails, but the icon has taken over the stock email on the bottom of the screen permanently for now. Wish Samsung would've done a better job on one of the email app.
Guys, I really need help and at my wits end. I left the android platform for a bit to IPhone X....Needless to say I want to use my Note 8 again. For the life of me, I cannot get gmail to sync anymore. I tried removing my google account, I tried a factory reset, I tried adding my google account to another android device...everything syncs like contacts, calendar etc....but NOT GMAIL.
I am at a total loss here as it still works fine on my IOS device and doesn't matter if I use WIFI or cell data. Any experts here with any clue...I'm dying here.
I would also like to add that I do not think its my device as this issue exists on 2 android devices I tried and I can add a different gmail account to either device with zero issues. Seems like something is specifically blocking my gmail (maybe a security or config setting somewhere) from allowing it to sync on the gmail app.
I am starting to think its not the gmail app itself but rather some setting (or something corrupt) in how sync syncs gmail. The issue must be with sync not my devices and not the gmail app because on the same devices, other gmail accounts work fine and other items sync fine (except gmail), factory resets, removal and re-adding accounts, etc do not work

You would do best to call Google and tell them your issue. I have never had gmail not sync when it is toggled to do so.
@mike3000000,
Have you tried all the recommendations on this page > https://support.google.com/mail/answer/4780745?hl=en
If so, and problems persist, go to the Google Gmail forum and post your issue there > https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/QGmx0I_lDa8/jZOAbHf5CQAJ

Are you SURE you've gone through ALL the settings in the GMail app? Theres a couple, if not checked, will screw up the sync. Like make sure all your inboxes are set to sync AND notify. Make sure you have it set to sync the last 30 days of mail (or however long you like).
Also go to accounts in settings and make sure all the sync settings are toggled on. Unless Google is having server issues, it's most likely something simple you've missed which is easy to do.
See if it works with Bluetooth turned off. My Gmail app seems to sync immediately (like it's meant to) and also the Google Play app updates complete and install without any delays.
I had this issue some time ago, with my note 8, not as bad as your case, there were some periods when no sync at all, I could verify that the issue was not gmail itself, as I have 3 devices with the same gmail account, the other two always received the emails normally, long story short, I solved the problem using macrodroid to trigger gmail sync every 10 minutes, I know that this is not a real solution, but I have used it for almost a year, as I use macrodroid for a lot of things, I really forgot àbout it untill now when reading your post

It doesn't bother me at all. I prefer people to search for issues before creating new threads. I didn't realize you were having issues as well, since you never said you were having issues. You actually said you Gmail syncs immediately like it's supposed to, which lead me to believe that you were NOT having an issue. Generally people don't say their phone is behaving as it's meant to, if they're having problems with it.
I thought you were just offering a solution to a very old thread for some reason. I was just letting you know it was an old thread, and the OP, to whom you were offering a solution, had moved on.
Then when you said others were obviously still having issues, I questioned that, as it was not obvious to me. Especially since your post was about how your Gmail syncs immediately and Google Play updates without delay, and your phone is functioning as it's meant to (in your words). Maybe I should've understood you wanted it to function MORE like it's meant to?
Then you asked who the OP was, so I explained that.
And you wanted to know what his solution was, so I explained I didn't know, since he had moved on.
So it didn't bother me. I was merely conversing with whom I believed to be another civilized adult. Sorry I offended you, though.
