Missing handshakes

I've seen a solution involving using a secondary device. I don't have a secondary device.

If you're talking about the 'solution' using 2 devices, it didn't for me and quite a few others I've noticed. I do get some handshakes but nowhere near what I should be getting. I have a great selection of friends and most of them visit everyday, even outside of an 'event'.

The solution didn't work for me. I'm waiting to see whether or not whatever new update we get will cure the problem or maybe I need to take a vacation from TSTO.

That solution does not work, it's only a temporary semi fix. I have to log in daily to get a few handshakes.
I keep getting the visit notifications, when I log in there is no handshakes showing.

I dont have a secondary device either.
Whats working for me is, every time I finish, logging out of origin and going into the game anonymously.
When I go back in my active SF, I sign back in.
Hopefully the handshake gets resoved when update happens.

The solutions work for some, which is wonderful. But not for others. (Which is not so wonderful.)

Canuck, when I get your taps today, I'll post here to let you know. I've only gotten your visits a few times in the past week ...

I know things are still very inconsistent because again today I only received handshakes from six of my own ten feeders, even though I tapped from all ten in sequence, one immediately after the other. And again, the ones that failed to show up were at random, and varied from yesterday, when I only got four, including one that failed today.

This morning when I first entered my town, I saw a significant number of handshakes, compared to a very low number on other recent days. I was hopeful the problem was fixed, but then proved otherwise when I got those poor results from my feeders that I just described above.

Aarrrrgggghhhh.

Annettemarc I visited your town about 4 hours ago. I visit all my friends every day whether there's an event or not. I've gotten messages that you have visited, but there's only been handshakes from you a couple of times. The same thing happens when other friends visit. I get a message that they've visited, but there's no handshakes.

I'm not really sure. I have seen a drop off since Stonecutter's event but that was expected. I do find that I don't always have three handshakes from everyone that visits.

No worry -- I've seen so many permutations of notifications-without-handshakes and handshakes-without-notifications and (albeit rarely) handshakes WITH notifications, that I can only imagine there must be LOTS of people who visit me and I see nothing at all.

Imagine if this had happened during the stonecutter's event, when the emblems earned from those pyramids from visits from neighbors played such a significant role?

Meantime, I'll just do visits every day from my main town and if people don't see handshakes I'm sure the majority of them understand this mess is going on. No biggie. Not worth stressing over. :)

Canuck, I got taps from you just now when I checked my SF. Also, I visited your town about 11 hours ago...
