PUSH Notifications for Facebook Fix!

Yes! Finally we have Push notifications for Facebook AND Twitter After the new facebook update, you might have noticed you are forced to have your facebook sync every 5, 10, 30 etc. minutes? Yeah, drove me insane too. Well there is now a fix. This is not my software. But it WORKS! and thats all that matters right? Make sure you check the "Unknown Sources" tab in Settings -> Application BEFORE you download to allow you to install this app. Browse this link below on your andorid device, download the small .APK, and install. Simple as that. Let me know if it works for you! Also, follow me on twitter @rosenbachera
***LINK REMOVED DUE TO DATA MINING AND SECURITY ISSUES***
Cheers!

***UPDATE 4/19/11***
We have been getting MANY security issue and data mining problems with this app. We strongly urge you to NOT download this app, since your security may be compromised.

What app gives you twitter push notifications?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

hmm
did you try this already?
will this work for emails, yahoomail,gmail, etc etc?

I keep getting an error message when trying to register an account. Also, on the site they say they done have twitter support just yet. I like the idea though and I hope everything gets sorted out. I'd pay money for twitter push notifications.

Instead of using the Gmail app for you phone, use the "Email app". Go to settings -> accounts -> Add Account -> and click on "Email" not "Gmail" After you set up your vaious emails. Go to the "email" app on your homescreen, then click the "menu" key with the four squares to bring up the dropbox, click "email delivery" then check Data Push Let me know if it works

I apologize, I will contact the developer. I will keep you this thread in the loop.

Errors
It looks like many of you are getting registration errors, I apologize for the inconvenience. I will contact the developer this afternoon and hopefully use my dev. knowledge to get it up and running soon! Keep in mind, you will have to uninstall the current version and download the new one once it releases. Thank you for your help.

Ermmmm .... I'm surprised if it's true that TweetCaster makes use of PUSH. Will give it a try.
edit:
If I untick "Auto-Refresh", my Notification tab is ungrey. Means it will not even notifiy me at all. But if I tick Auto-Refresh, it ask me for a timing to refresh.
So isn't that still pulling?

Any news from the dev?

[App] RemotifyMyDroid (my 3rd FREE app)

Hello Everyone,
i've finish working on my application RemotifyMyDroid, and uploaded it to the market place toy can download:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yazan.remotifyMyDroid&feature=more_from_developer
it sends notifications to your PC, when you got event on your mobile,
best case when you are charging your mobile in a room, and setting in another..
however you can use it in different purposes ...
the phone and the PC should be on the same LAN,
in future i may upgrade it to work over the internet ...
it notifies for those events:
1- Incoming Call (shows the caller number to)
2- Outgoing Call (someone using your mobile to call a number)
3- Your mobile is fully charged (in case you were charging it)
4- Someone unplugged the power of the charger.
5- New Incoming SMS.
to download the PC server
http://www.yazandroid.com/
and go to RemotifyMyDroid (1st link) and it contains some screen shots to.
also have a look at my other FREE 2 applications there
your feedback is appreciated
Yazan.

Sounds great, but I think setting this up might be a tad harsh for general use (firewalls etc). I would suggest building an intermediary platform (web service) to communicate to. That way you can have a very easy setup. For instance, you can use the Google login service to identify yourself from the phone and the notification program and that's it then. No IP's or port numbers as most users don't know what that is anyway.
But for the techies, good start.
Cheers

No problem

Portal pending. Nice app

I will use this when it's possible to use it via the web. Maybe a Chrome/FireFox/IE plugin would be cool?

Really nice idea!
Another suggestion : an honeycomb client
let us be notified about our phone when it's away and we're using our favorite tablet

What a great find... The integration with Growl will be excellent on my HTPC. Also, this allows easy integration with EventGhost through Scripty.

just installed. works fine.

Any chance on a open source version, i would like to see how you did this. an maybe use some of the code in a Domotica project of mine.

Hey another MightyText. At least I can use this one lol.\

Have you ever heard of...dare I say it...variation of ideas? Just because there is something similar out there, does not mean it is identical. Please do not spam dev's threads with others work.

he's right though, there is google voice add on for chrome that does this, mighty text, and that last one he mentioned.

its not a waste of time, and for sure i have learned couple of things while developing this app, its not a waste at all.
otherwise you will see a single app for each purpose ... on pc\mobile ...
one more thing .. why do you think there is Windows , Linux and Mac??
could not other parties just SAVE there time and NOT develop another OS!!!!

Hey, didn't try it yet but I have some suggestions, in addition to a web service:
reply to sms / transfer calls to PC
low battery event
as an option, deliver every notification from notification bar (alarms, songs played, ebay auctions ending, FB msgs, etc.)
cheers

Mac version would be awesome .

Using bluetooth maybe ? PC as a handset (would have to be paired before)
I understand then distance range would come as a limit for many use cases, but could still be enjoyable instead of standing up to pick up the phone !

It makes no sense! Why didn't they just make the Xfinity app compatible with Honeycomb, besides creating a whole new app which is so extremely limited. You can't check your email, access your address book, access your Digital Voice (Comcast home phone), On Demand, or anything from your tablet...

I agree with that. Plus I think you can watch tv on the iPad app. Maybe they will include it later. Plus it should be more like a remote. Where's the rewind fast foward and volume buttons.

xfinity fail for honeycomb
It just make your tablet a remote contol. It was a dissapointment for me. Hopefully Comcast will rush up with their application. Meanwhile, I'm uninstalling it.

I would assume that with a larger user base (android), it'll give a nice boost to on{X}'s "recipes" which is always a great thing as it will serve as references to other platforms running on{x} in near future
Yield is everything when it comes to such approach (on{X})

Can someone tell me the huge different to tasker oder automateit? It looks like that its the same with programming instead of klicking?

There is just one thing I don't like on this app:
Facebook login and using my private data
Why such app need to do this, and why can't I use other login possibilities?(windows live, google etc?)

you cannot do as much with one ex as with tasker. also you need to do the recepies on your pc and then push to your phone and as retsam88 said, you have to log in via facebook. so, tasker is the better solution for me.

Of course it's important if a tablet is being used by a parent & his kids! or other scenarios.

Looks simplistic, needs evaluation but I find it easy to configure as compared to much cluttered interface ofnetguard app which I use. Plz provide promo code. thanks in advance.

I see. However, there's nothing stopping them from uninstalling the app, or clearing its data, or disabling the VPN permission, or many other ways to bypass such a password if they really wanted.
