S6 Edge+ Push Notifications

Hi all,

 

I've just upgraded my S4 to an S6 Edge+ (64gb).

 

Happy with the phone apart from some of the Push notifications are not working.

 

Facebook seems to notify when there is a new post or comments, however, when someone "likes" something, I don't get notified.

 

Also, the Flickr app doesn't seem to notify at all.

 

I have checked all the notification and individual app settings and all are setup correctly.  I know there was an issue originally with IPv6 and WiFi, however, the issue occurs on any WiFi (IPv6 or not) and also off WiFi.

 

Email notifications (POP and Exchange) seem to work just fine.

 

Has anyone else got these issues?

 

Many thanks

 

Craig

OK so here's an odd update.

Today everything on the list except for Flickr and FB likes have started to notify. I can only assume these are actual app issues.

Amazon, eBay, Pingdom are now working.

So what's changed? Well nothing really.

The only thing I have done is delete my Gmail account. I don't use Gmail as I have my own personal domain with email. However, my Google account primary address was still my Gmail address.

By deleting my Gmail my Google account has now defaulted to my personal address as the primary.

Can't confirm either way that this cured the issue but it's the only thing that changed.

Strange but much happier.

This is all a bit odd because in theory the Gmail account shouldn't be causing any issues.

No, I agree, but it did cause all Google apps and main account to change their login name from the Gmail address to my personal address. Maybe this change caused a reset of a Google service.
