Can't get push notifications for android on self hosted to work, have I missed a post with the problem? gcm is set up ok, my device is registering and requests are showing in my gcm dashboard. I've got hostgator to open ports 5228, 5229 and 5230 as per google documentation: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gcm.html cURL is activated on my domain. also opened ports 5223, 2195, 2196 and 443 as per MrDavid's fix. updated the file pushNotifications_AJAX.php file mentioned here: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=9A9D62232E8EAC574F34609 and also tried the code change mentioned (remove @ and change 2 to 30). followed the guides - activatede prompt in core settings, added project number to gcmconfig.java, correct project id, correct api key etc etc. Still no devices showing in my self hosted dashboard and no pushes can be sent.

I have my IOS devices showing on self control panel, but am unable to receive notifications as well

Have you placed your google project id in BT_gcmConfig.java in SENDER_ID variable...Its working fine with me..

yup, mentioned in my OP.

@Rishav, do you mean the google project Id or the Project Number? The project number seems to be the only way I can register a device with gcm. Using the project id throws an error message on the device.

Ah well. Before the thread drops off the first page and into obscurity I'll make a last desperate appeal for help... help.

Hi @raveyd, have managed to get android push working on the buzztouch host and documented it. I just got my self hosted working, c/o David changing something so that curl now works with my host, so I'll try the same thing on my self hosted and report back. Alan

Thanks Alan! I followed your documentation. Like I say, everything appears to be working, except there's nothing happening in my control panel. I suspect cURL is the issue with mine too.

Did you try a test app on the buzztouch.com panel?

Never thought of that, haven't looked in there for over 12 months. I'll get on to it now, thanks!

On my self hosted, I couldn't download an app until curl was sorted, so I tried on my buzztouch.com, just to familiarise. On the self hosted, I think if curl doesn't work, you see errors. I have seen several recent threads on push not working, I suspect not all all the answers are out there yet.

No luck on bt either... I must be missing something.. If you don't mind taking a look Alan, do these screenshots look ok to you? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/56760890/pushes.png

I suppose you require a server key rather then a android apps key..I got my push working with the serverkey only..So try creating new server key and using that.....

Hi @Rishav, I've tried android, server and browser keys on self hosted and the android key on bt because that was in Alan's guide, but still nothing... I'll try the server and browser keys in bt too, thanks.

Still nothing.. might have stumbled onto a potential bug, David contacted..

Got it, finally!! (I think..) The string builder in BT_gcmServerUtils.java doesn't appear to handle white spaces in the deviceModel name. In the case of the phone I was testing on, 'HTC One X' breaks the string at the first space. Just tried on a device with no white spaces in the deviceModel name (acer-G100W) and it works fine.

Never had a chance to get near a computer today, but glad you sussed it out

Not as glad as me Alan! Thanks for your input, and Rishav, appreciated.
