[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gcarter:
Any one of you beautiful S21 Ultra people have more than one phone?

View attachment 5506435View attachment 5506447

My iPhone 13 Mini starlight arrived earlier today (thanks Amazon).

Im an IT guy by trade and hobby and have always gravitated towards the larger phones.

However as of recently Ive had the need to have both iPhone and Android devices (work reasons) and up until my Mini arrived, was using the Apple 12 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

However, my usage case gravitated more towards the android for media consumption, file management, social media etc and the iPhone was more work based / apple ecosystem esq / so iMessage, copy and paste between phone and macOS, Apple Pay and Apple CarPlay (Android Auto sux big time)

However it got me thinking that as the usage of iOS was not as screen intensive as the S21 Ultra, a smaller iPhone would make more sense!

Whilst the mini is used alongside the big boy Android, the x2 together fit my work and play requirements beautifully , far mo so than caring around x2 behemoths!

S21 Ultra and Pixel 6
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Bill720:
I also have an iPhone in my backpack, but it is my least used device by far. The Note 10 is now my daily, the LG V20 is a backup on alarm duty, and the HTC One has been relegated to security duty, but the Moto X Pure Edition is still my favorite ever (best screen + best sound ever seen and heard on a mobile device). If I didn't desire band 71 LTE, I probably would've ended up just switching back to a higher capacity Pure Edition.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tafo:
I have 2 phones, the s21 ultra and iphone se.. my s21 ultra is ny daily driver, i was going to make iphone as my daily driver because of the apple watch 7 and ipad pro 2021..but i felt its not the time yet to do this move

I have the galaxy watch 4..but i felt the watch 7 is way better :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dmb219:
I've always been a Pixel fan, had each one and have a P6P now. The Galaxy S phones always interest me too and I usually grab one. I don't have 2 at the moment but I'm seeing that S22U in my future. I think the way to fix my dilemma is to have both.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
I do now own a dedicated P6 charger and usually end up charging my phone on the USB port of my PC during my workday.

I've noticed that occasionally the phone is simply not charging when connected to PC USB. Easy to verify with: 'adb shell dumpsys battery', e.g.:

Current Battery Service state:
AC powered: true
USB powered: false
Wireless powered: false
Max charging current: 1500000
Max charging voltage: 5000000
Charge counter: 2774000
status: 2
health: 2
present: true
level: 54
scale: 100
voltage: 3958
temperature: 238
technology: Li-ion

Then, after rebooting the phone, unplugging the USB cable, replugging it again, it starts charging again.

I have not found a way to reliably replicate the problem so I don't really know exactly when or why it happens.

I know that the USB port itself is fine. It works and my wife's phone consistenty charges fine on that port.

Anybody else having the same issue? I'll report it to Google ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Did you try changing the PC USB port? And are you using a USB-C port?

A Pixel 6 Pro phone wants USB PD 3.0 PPS for charging, anything less than that and chances are that the phone will automatically shut down charging (on it's own) - Google says to prevent damage, I say to sell chargers. But the baseline is the same, it won't work reliably, or not at all.

On top of that comes the problem that Windows/ USB ports just suck. I have 4 front panel USB ports... and three of them don't like ADB, if I try to flash firmware from them on my phone, it will stuck/create bugs. If I use the fourth (middle right)... it will work without problems. Of course there is no other scenario on planet earth where the other USB ports ever caused me issues. That's tech just being non-compatible cr*p for no reason.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
I don't think its really a matter of USB PD/PPS. I think your second part, how much USB ports (and cables) can vary, is more likely. On new(ish) PCs or Laptops, USB ports are much better than they were 10-15 years ago. I can charge my Pro using many types of USB 2.0/3.0 Ports - PCs from 2009, laptops from 2010/2019, recent or older adapters (not PD/PPS etc). (repair laptops on the side so I have a stack of them). So the capability is there on the phone, so I'm leaning towards a USB Cable/USB port issue. And yes, the amperage the phone takes in can vary but if your cable, port and phone are working fine, the power should be consistent (always best to take in at least 700 mAh so the phone can charge, albeit at a slow and decent rate). just make sure you're using a quality usb cable ( I didn't believe in this much until I had an issue with fastboot/adb not working, new cable fixed it).

And for sure, USB ports on the front of PC's are notoriously horrible. So many different hardware, firmware, OS drivers (Linux can be problematic sometimes unfortunately) these types that vary so much (especially for USB-A - power, motherboard etc). Best to use the rear ports for consistency or a good powered USB hub plugged into the back.

The main benefit to PPS is the way it "steps" the voltage up or down, which is a benefit for fast chargers - but not really much benefit for charging using a USB port or adapters with lower amperage. But that's not to say that everything is all good, maybe because PPS is so new it might be causing issues on some Pixels, and the bugs need to be ironed out, I can't say for sure.

OP, are you using the original cable that came with your phone (usb-c port?)

- edit-- ok I see your comment, let us know
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
I don't use Windows at home but Linux.

The port works very fine with ADB (never had any issues with it).

It is a USB-A port.

It actually does charge (slowly) but then - sometimes - when I connect my phone it does not charge any more (reboot then makes it work again).

But it might be indeed as you say that the phone shuts down the charging under certain conditons.

Hmm ... interesting ... I connected just now on a USB-C port of my PC ... and: 'adb shell dumpsys battery' gives:

Current Battery Service state:
AC powered: false
USB powered: true
Wireless powered: false
Max charging current: 3000000
Max charging voltage: 5000000
Charge counter: 3032000
status: 2
health: 2
present: true
level: 59
scale: 100
voltage: 4049
temperature: 268
technology: Li-ion

The max charging current is now 2x the value as for the USB-A port ...

I will use that port over the next couple of days to see how it goes.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Trying this now as we speak ;-)

Thanks for the tip.

See my previous reply to @Morgrain, getting a higher charging current on USB-C port and phone is indeed charging faster than on the USB-A port.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I built a new PC a year ago and it has to USB-C ports (one on the back, one via adapter cable to the motherboard - both I made easy access on the front of the computer case). I, too, have noticed that USB-C charges great (either OEM or an off-brand freebie but quality USB-C cable) through either USB-C port. Technically it's fast charging but it's nowhere near modern fast charging, so I'm not too worried about it.

I did try a USB-A port once and found it was charging too slowly to make sense, so I quickly abandoned it and have only used the USB-C ports and cables since when I'm working on the computer.

When I'm charging from my couch's or my bedroom surge protector's USB-A ports, the phone charges normally.

Anyone figured out how to edit bookmarks? I've tried everything so far with no luck!
[G1 General] paradisetoall:
editing bookmarks

Press menu and then select bookmarks. Press the bookmark and hold for a menu to appear. The option to edit the bookmark will become available.

Using that same method you can do similar things to lots of selections. Test it out and remember press and hold on a selection to get a menu of extra options.
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
thanks alot i appreciate it!

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I have got the phone 2 weeks ago and I really like it. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the push notifications for the Facebook. Please, don't tell me to uninstall it - I use it for business and also to keep in touch with my family and friends - so telling me not to use it is not helpful. However if there is something you can help me with, I would really appreciate it. Here are some details to make it easier for investigation.

Android version: 12

Security update: 5 November 2021

Facebook version: 348.0.0.39.118

- push notifications are allowed within Facebook (please, see attached screenshot)

- Facebook notifications are allowed on Android system wise (please see attached screenshot)

- Facebook Battery usage set to Unrestricted (please see attached screenshot)

What I have tried so far?

- delete cache, storage, the app and re-install

- pause notifications for 15 minutes and allow again

How do I know it issue on Android?

- I have the same issue on every Android device (tested on Samsung and OnePlus devices, same result)

- everything works just fine on iOS - push notifications are coming on my iPhone 13 Pro and on my iPad

What else am I missing? What can change or setup differently? I would really like to use Pixel as my primary device but this is a major blocker for me. Reaching out to Facebook is pretty much impossible. I am offering up to 50 USD (paying over PayPal) to the person who can help me figure this out for once and for all. I have been asking all around the internet and no-one can help me. If I can't sort it out here, I don't think I can anywhere else.

I'll start from the end - my phone is not rooted. I was tempted, but decided not to do so. Now to the questions above:

b) Background Process Limit is set to: Standard limit, I did not change that - should I?

c) Facebook is shown as EXEMPTED (and it is greyed out, I can't change it), Messenger is ACTIVE

d) Power Save is always OFF in my case

e) connection is fine, 100%, I am not using VPN, only local with AdGuard, but the same behavior was without it

f) tried that, did not help - on Samsung, OnePlus and here, too

Not aware of Pikmin Bloom - no idea what is it, so no.

Thanks for coming back to me, I appreciate it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
You shouldn't have to root your phone to get notifications to work. But Morgrain has included everything and more that I would suggest.

A few things: So notifications for this specific Facebook Account work on other Android devices with the same Google Account?

Do all other notifications work? WhatsApp, GMail etc?

Create a new user (Android Settings, System, User) and create a dummy Gmail Account during setup (important to create a new account since I've seen this also resolve notification issues with GMail and a few other apps, its rare but worth a try, and you can delete the Gmail account after the test, limit the information you input and put a nickname/fake info in). Stay logged into this new Google Account on your Pixel during the testing period (whatever it is 30mins, 1hr etc) because notifications won't come in otherwise. Make sure battery saver isn't on, and give Facebook/Messenger apps Unrestricted battery usage along with enabling all permissions under "App Permissions" and under "App Info" enable anything available: Mobile Data & Wifi Unrestricted background data/usage (2 options), Battery: Unrestricted, and under the Advanced section, some apps have 2 or 3 options such as "Modify System" etc - enable all of those also. Force Stop, then open the app to make sure it is running (check to make sure it is running in Developer Options, Running Services). These suggestions can also be tried on your current installation.

Can you maybe try removing the FB app, reinstall and create a new temporary FB Account or even try logging in with a different one - any changes?

The last thing I would do is backup your phone and manually the data for each app (Signal, WhatsApp etc) and force 2 or 3 manual backups using Google Backup (Android Settings, System, Backup), just to make sure everything is backed up. And using an app like SMS Backup Restore by SyncTech, to ensure Calls/SMS are backed up again. Copy all folders to a computer. Then do a factory reset, and during the setup, pick "don't have old phone" then "restore from cloud" - you will be given 5 or 6 options, only pick SMS/MMS and Calls. Then install Facebook and test it. This has worked in the past for notification issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
No, specific Facebook Account does not work on any Android device at all. It only works on iOS devices. Without any specific settings. I just login to my account and push notifications on iOS are working. No matter what I do on Android - any device - it does not work. And I am not sure if this is account issue or platform issue. But I am inclined to platform issue as I do not understand why would it work on iOS without any problems.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hello!

A lot of good suggestions here.

I don't have much input so I apologize - I just wanted to say I have no issues receiving Facebook Messenger notifications. I'm on sq1d.211205.017 (December - manually flashed and rooted). I have notifications for Facebook itself turned off, so I can't report there. I didn't have to change any settings at all for Facebook Messenger to work correctly. I also don't use Messenger very much, but once in a while and I just received a Messenger chat the other day.

You could try manually installing the December update, although I'd probably wait for the late January update instead.

I like @Alekos' suggestion of creating a new account on the phone and trying to use the same Facebook account there, without installing any different/additional apps.

In an extreme measure, you could try a factory reset, don't restore anything from Google Backup, and only install Facebook & Messenger, and wait long enough to be able to tell if both are working satisfactorily.

If working, then after that you would have to install further apps in small groups (I would do in the order of the most critical apps that you need), then wait long enough again to test. This has been my standard operating procedure whenever I have weird problems that I just can't solve. Sometimes, I didn't get a solution this way - the problem was common with Samsung's version of Android, but all other times I eventually found the problem in an app that caused issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Messenger is working just fine for me. It has been on every Android device.

As for November/December update - I am not sure this is the culprit. Because as mentioned above it was not working on any prior Android devices either regardless of the Android version.

This is the only application I am experiencing issues with.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I apologize, I missed those things. Argh, very strange indeed. That just sucks.

My gut feeling is it's a Facebook setting that's being restored only on Android. I haven't used iOS, so I can only guess, but I know sometimes iOS and Android versions of the same app are different enough, and sometimes going through Facebook's available settings is daunting.

I know the app has a search function for its settings now, but the Notifications setting is obvious enough. If you've already mentioned looking through this, please forgive me:

3-line (pancake) menu

Scroll to the last page of junk

Settings & Privacy

Settings

Notifications

Micro-manage each and every type of category of Facebook notifications
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Yeah, man. It's driving me crazy. I can't seem to find the issue for almost 2 years, insane.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just edited my post above this reply. I might not have suggested anything you haven't already tried, but take a look. I feel your pain, as Google Reminders used to work great for me, but for the last two years, they do everything but actually remind me. :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I have set those to Push - all that are relevant to me. I have posted it on screenshot in my 1st post. But thanks for trying, man. I really appreciate it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Ah yes. I really should wake up before I answer posts. :) Technology! Good luck, I hope you find the solution.

Will you consider a workaround of changing from Push to something EMail or SMS?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
so wait, no facebook account works at all on any android device you've used? That's really odd. A billion FB users!

Can you just try this: Create a new User (it's really easy) and a new throw-away Google Account (easy also) and a new FB account just to test? it will take maybe 5 mins. this will help in narrowing it down (if it does work).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I have tried that. I have created once a dummy account for Fb and used with my present Google Account - no issues at all.

Everything I tried looks like it's Fb account related and specifically on Android. I don't know how to solve it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Will you consider a workaround of changing from Push to something EMail or SMS?

I know it's not what you're looking for, and you shouldn't have to do - or maybe that is what you do already, just had to ask.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I mean, I could, but it is not as convenient, not to mention I am more interested into WHY it is not working on Android and no issues on iOS. Can't get my head around this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Me neither. Problems like this where nothing seems to solve drive me nuts. I may take a screenshot of my Facebook notification settings, set them all to push, and see what happens. I expect I know what'll happen.

Edit: Gotta love the Pixel screenshot "Capture more" button.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] idbl_fanatic:
Just wondering, have you uninstalled rebooted, and re-installed? Or are you just copying over the apps/data? I had the same issue with Aqua mail, until I uninstalled, rebooted, and re-installed
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Same happens when I unbox the phone and start fresh install right out of the box. Or if I install, update to latest version, restart and install all over again. Result is always the same.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sultan.of.swing:
This is a Facebook/android issue, I've been dealing with it for 2 or 3 years now across multiple devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Don't want to sound like an asshole, but thank God, I am not the only one here. I guess you can't find anyone to help you either, right? And there is no way to reach out to Facebook to check the account for you, correct?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sultan.of.swing:
Exactly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I wonder why it only happens for some folks? Inconsistent issues are the worst.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I would like to know, too. I wish I could reach out to Facebook support to understand the reasoning behind why it works on iOS, but it does not on Android.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] v'tin:
I wonder, do you use "focus" from digital wellbeing?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
No. I don't have any schedule and it is turned off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] v'tin:
Ok, last thing I can think off (because you use(d) on other phones), log out from all devices and login first on android and then the rest, just to see:

STEP 1- Open the Facebook mobile application & tap on the three bars icon at the top-right.

STEP 2- Tap on the Account settings > Security > Login.

STEP 3- Under the Login tab, just hit the Log out option next to each device.

STEP 4- Now, log out of Facebook & login again to see if you are getting the Facebook Notifications properly.

For the rest, your settings are same as mine, apart for being rooted using together with Adaway, It's works fine for me...it is annoying that for some it just doesn't work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I did just that, it did not work either. See screenshots attached.

No notification badge.

When I open the app there is new push notification.

All of my devices are logged out except for Pixel 6 Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] v'tin:
Ok, now it's getting interesting, in your notifications settings you have "allow notification dot" on, I see in your last screenshot no dot on the app in your homescreen.

So it looks like, somewhere it's blocking the facebook app for allowing to show notification.

Do you have by any change some application installed for protecting privacy, something like AppLock?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Yes, when I go to Settings > Notifications > Notification dot on app icon it is ENABLED. Because I see dots on any other app I have installed.

No, I don't have any additional app protecting the privacy installed. Except for already mentioned AdGuard. But that one was installed afterwards, i.e. this issue is not related to AdGuard, because it was present prior to installation of AdGuard.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you gone into all the individual notification categories of the Facebook app? Despite them being all enabled (and the fact that this isn't something that's normally carried over to other/new phones), I'd click on each individual notification name (Your account, Comments...) and see if there are any sub-settings that are somehow set wrong.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
If you are asking about this screen - then yes, I have enabled everything I am interested in being notified about to "Push".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] v'tin:
Maybe stupid this one, but can you test it with WiFi off and AdGuard on?

Or, Wifi on and AdGuard off...read somewhere that it might be related...not sure why, but just in case

Because I see in your screenshot that you've VPN on, so I wonder if this might be related somehow..even when you had facebook before adguard. Just to make sure.

Just read this in forum link
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, I'm talking about this screen. I think lots of folks don't realize you can (sometimes or often) go into individual categories of notifications and make some fine-tune adjustments, but like I said, that shouldn't be carried over from previous phones - my experience on Android is even when I restore a Google Backup, that I have to set those individual notification settings up from scratch - they all default to "fully" on, but when sub-settings are adjusted, it isn't necessarily noticeable on this screen. The categories of notifications are just indicated as on or off, but you have to go into each individual to double-check there's not some weird sub-setting changed from default that would cause this issue.

I don't expect this to be the case, but at this point it can't be ruled out without looking at each one. Click on the name of the notification (Your account, comments...) - not the toggle.

The best and only realistic answer is to throw rocks at Zuckerturd.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Nice one. I changed that to this. I hope it helps. Will get back if it does. I was not aware that you can do even that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
I was hoping it would solve it. Looks like it was premature happiness. Still the same.

I have no idea what else to do. This is unbelievable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
At this point, your best bet is to probably get this issue as a case escalated at Google/Facebook support.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p4ra:
Yeah, problem is I can't reach Facebook support team. And I don't think this is something Google should be looking at.
