Not getting Facebook (and other) notifications unless connected to wi-fi

About two weeks ago I stopped getting notifications unless I'm connected to wifi. I get calls, texts and emails fine, but nothing else.
It's highly annoying walking in the house, having my wifi turn on automatically and suddenly getting a dozen or so notifications, let alone not knowing that I have messages when traveling.
I have mobile data turned on. I really don't know what is causing this.
I'm using a Droid 4, and have never had any problems in the year and a half I've had the phone.
Anyone have any ideas besides going back to factory settings and starting over?

Have you changed settings to conserve data, like turning off background updates for apps, only update over wifi, only sync over wifi? 
You may have automatic updates to apps and other notifications turned off unless you are connected to wifi.  If you DO enable the automatic updates, you may see a jump in your data usage.
Check the app settings for those apps you want to receive automatic notifications and updates for; other than that, I don't know why things would have changed two weeks ago - an app or device software update?

  • Not getting Youtube and other shortcuts on my Apple TV

    Hi - I upgraded my ATV2 to the new software and since that time I am not getting shortcuts for Youtube, Netflix, Photos etc...  would be great if you could share the solution to get it working back. Thanks

    Check that it is still connected to the internet and that your iTunes store location is set correctly.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Recently my mozilla opened emails show loading problem of pages and emails in inbox are not getting opened and other folders of email also not getting loaded

    recently i have downloaded many video converter softwares. After that whenever i open my emails, I am not able to load the pages. Only it opens to inbox and when i click any mail in inbox, it opens the mail and immediately close that automatically within seconds and not able to view mail. It also displays error message on top for a second (e.g. problem in loading) same error message appears when i try to open any other folder like junk, draft etc. in the email and the folders does not open and only inbox comes back but could not open any emails. Same is the case with any picture files or such things accessed thru google search, it never opens and if opens like email, immediately closes. I tried removing and re-installing mozilla, but still the problem persists.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • After upgrading to 10.3 OS I do not get Facebook notifications

    After upgrading to 10.3 OS I do not get Facebook notifications. Only when I go in the FB app I can see I have some notifications. But I do not receive alerts/notifications just as other apps like what's app or BBM on my Q10

    If Xandrex's solution does not work, I have fixed this more than once by removing my FB account and the app, then reinstall and re-add. I like Xandex's solution better if it works tho
    Find me on the Twitters! @jeffgerard

  • There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles and no errors reported.

    There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. Local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles, I get no further and no errors reported. Safari, Opera and Firefox. Deleted cookies and chain but still no action.

    If you have not already done so, read the router's user manual troubleshooting section and/or contact its customer service department/forums. 
    If still having problems, post back w/details of all you have tried to resolve the problems along w/the troubleshooting solutions that the "local techies" had you try.

  • MacBook Pro issues connecting to Gmail, Facebook, and other websites

    Hi,
    In the past week or so, I have had problems connecting to Gmail, Facebook, and other websites on my MacBook. When I try to open Gmail, I get the following message "Safari can't verify the identity of the website "accounts.google.com". The certificate for this website is invalid..." etc. It asks if I want to connect anyways, and I do, but then once I'm on Gmail, I can't use gchat and all of the buttons (delete, reply, etc) are blank. When I try to connect to Facebook, I just get a mostly blank page. I'll include screenshots in case that's helpful.
    When I try using Firefox, it doesn't allow me to connect to either website at all.
    I hope someone can help me with this issue!

    On your iMac, open System Preferences > Date & Time  then select the Date & Time tab.
    Make sure:  Set date and time automatically is selected.
    Then select the Time Zone tab.
    Make sure:  Set time zone automatically using current location is selected.

  • I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

    i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

    First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

    edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

  • IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites?

    IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites? I just upgraded to IOS 8 on my iPad 3 retina display and when I try to upload pictures in safari for facebook, the picture upload just stalls and never completes. This happens in other sites as well. How can I fix this? Is anyone also experiencing this issue???

    Hi Hindhaughlee, <br />Thanks for the post.
    This may not be the best place to post such a solution but maybe some users will find it. If it turns out to be a major problem with a simple solution maybe we will manage to document it somewhere.
    Are you able to provide more details please:
    * exactly what software and software versions is the problem with ? <br /> You appear to be a Windows 8 user, but presumably the Kaspersky software may be applicable to other Windows versions, which Kaspersky software is this tested with ?
    * What is he exact error message or warning that Kaspersky generates in this situation ?
    * is the problem documented elsewhere, preferably in a public open site, if so maybe you could provide a link
    * can you detail simple but exact detailed Steps To Reproduce that will enable others to test out this problem and solution.
    Cheers
    John <br /> <sub>One of the forum moderators J99<sub>
    P.S. <br />
    Anyone with this problem finding that the solution works may wish to vote for this thread and solution. Or if someone else can produce links to examples of this or you are able to give precise Steps To Reproduce please add a post of your own.
