I'm not getting instant notifications either. Chat will come up, but nothing in the realm of push notifications. tested sending from from my wifes account to mine.
chat works great, push notifications doesn't work. still have to check app just for the notifications :/
Great for letting us know
Okay, a question about chat since I've never had it before through Facebook. How is your online status "toggled" while using chat?
So if I open up the facebook app, and look at my news feed, am I now online? And to go offline, do I physically have to go into facebook chat and click "go offline"?
Also, if I want to be on chat, but have it run in the background, how can I confirm that it's running?
The entire user interface seems very poor. Wouldn't the ability to toggle chat on/off and easily access conversations and your status from the notification bar be essential in this type of app?
notifications works fine for me... kinda odd though since the messages and other stuffs still uses interval... only the posts and such has push.

According to the Facebook page of Facebook for android, push notifications is only supported with android 2.2+

From the Chat screen hit menu and it's the only option.

Yeah, I see that. But there's no "Go online" option, is there? So how do you ever know if your online or offline? I don't know, I'm used to Go!Chat. There should be some clear toggle option.
How about for people that never want to appear online?
For example, I just opened up facebook on my phone and hit chat. I guess I'm now online? So now I hit android home. Am I still online? How is there anyway of knowing? Online until when?
It's completely non-functional as a useful mobile chat app.
[edit]
I've also tried multiple times to close "active conversations", and they keep showing back up on all refreshes. I was looking forward to native facebook chat, but I'll stick with 3rd party apps until they can improve this.
Chat and Push both are working flawlessly on my Droid 2. Rooted but running a pretty much stock OS.
About time they got this one out. Was doing this with a blackberry almost 2 years ago. I am now able to remove about 4 apps that I was running in order to cover my FB account while mobile.
Nice work Devs!
Push notification working good on my evo. I was also using f plus and had it set for five minutes and I'm getting notification quicker with the official app
I download it from market but installation failed. Did I do anything wrong or it is caused by android build on HTC HD2?
Long conversations
And still it is not possible to have long conversations. Quite annoying

*****EDIT 2/25/2011*****
VERY SORRY for the delay in editing this post and/or replying to the comments!
I have had some very serious family problems in the last couple months and during this, didn't renew the lease with the server i was renting. I am currently looking to buy a server (or share one with any other dev??) that i can use to run this App. It requires its own server due to the amount of requests it needs to keep thousands of users up to date with all their accounts and push messages to your devices.
I am EXTREMELY sorry that I had not been able to come on and post this, but in the last 24 hours I have received TONS of emails stating you're getting an error signing up. Thats because The server isnt responding anymore to requests, I apologize.
I will have this fixed hopefully soon and also incorporate many more social media outlets into the app that don't currently have push updates.
Again, SORRY for the delay in updating this. I hope to have a new Beta out soon.
Thanks!
*******End Edit******
Hey Guys..
This is our first post to XDA, and we are glad to be here.
We are a new Android development team, Atomic Pineapple. We wanted to let you guys know we have an app in Beta that brings push notifications for Facebook, and Twitter (this week for twitter) for ALL versions of Android. The app is called "Pushee"
Our plans are to grow the app into a full service push notification tool, including all the most used social platforms, FB, twitter, 4square, etc. We also have plans to bring push notifications for all POP3 email for non Gmail accounts as there is currently nothing for this. All these are in the works and will be integrated into pushee in the next few weeks.
If you want to get the Beta for Pushee just go to pushee(dot)atomicpineapple(dot)com and download it. Sorry we couldn't post a link because we are new users lol.
It will be out of Beta within a week or two and on the Market with a 7 Day Free Trial, and then for sale at 1.49.
Any comments on adding services to have notifications pushed are welcome!
Thanks!
Justin,
Atomic Pineapple.
I'm going to test it right now and it seems to be awesome !
I'm loving it so far. Few things..
1) Icon, I'm sure this will get changed soon. Just checking
2) When tapping on the notification for new items for Facebook, it wanted to open my browser. I would rather have it open my Facebook app. For example, when I see I have 2 new friend requests, I would like it to go to my Friends section of the Facebook app. Possible? =D
Also, do I have to add this to my task killer for it to monitor my Facebook?

Not sur but i think you must add this to your Task Killer
Waiting for the twitter option !
Looks great so far! One question, when we say "yes" when application asks for "exit?", are we gonna receive notifications?
And one addition, charset seems not "utf", or whatever (im new in android world), when we have non-english characters in the account name, it appears as a "□".
I just installed it, so im still waiting to see if i get a notification within 60 minutes (logged on gf's account and posted on one of my own comments)..
Bug/problem ->
Since i have an x10 mini pro, i have a small display - it is really hard to setup Pushee on this phone, as text is cluttered all over the screen, and email input is behind 'explanation text' etc.
Besides that, because of the MANY MANY permissions pushee needs, it was almost impossible (i got lucky) to press 'accept' to those permissions on facebook popup.
I've set facebook to 'never' update - i assume that is correct? As the Pushee servers will do the checking.
- If this app works & it enters the facebook app instead of the browser - then i'll definatly buy it - Even though 1.49$ seems like a bit much for a 'notification application'..
This app looked really promising.. but..
After a few hours, spamming myself with notifications and messages on facebook - I still didn't get any on the phone.
Installation/Configuration text is all messed up, and its hard to configure on an x10 mini pro.
Tried reinstalling - Cant create an account with the same email - Fair enough... But i cannot login to an existing account, the button simply doesn't work.
Sure this is a beta, and not alpha?
THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster
Does anyone know whats wrong with messenger..?
In my Omnia 7 running Mango beta 2 the facebook chat messages stoped arriving..
It all worked since I updated but know it stoped working... I can see all my contacts and they can see my but I just don't get all the messages..
If they send 6 I get 1 if any... And they don't get mine... And other times they jsut get 1 of them... Stange... :S
Did you turn "Facebook Chat" on?
I can't even get past that step, all I get is a dead page.
Mine, with Mango, doesn't show FB content. The only thing the people hub shows is Windows Live content. I have the FB account setup, too. My Focus with NoDo shows FB content, though.
Oooops...spoke too soon. It just now started showing FB content...this is the first time since flashing Mango that it has shown. lol...maybe it was waiting for the opportunity to contradict me.
In mine everything about facebook works great.. All content of all kinds... Friends, calender.. All of it..
The only thing not working well is the facebook chat.. Messenger works great... But only in facebook chat messages don't show up, or just one out of 5 sent to me show...
Facebook chat is on and I can see my online facebook friends...
I thing this is a messenger thing, because in live.com messenger same thing happens.. Any ideas...?
I tested in Messenger 2011 and same problem... Could it have something to do with the new Facebook Chat... It worked well before the change...

What you've probably noticed is that on your chat settings, when you try to enable the FB chat, it goes to a non existent web page. Here's the work around:
Go to to your live account on live.com, go to profile, and you'll see the other accounts at the bottom (FB, youtube, etc) click on facebook, make sure chat is enabled, and hit save.
You'll have to type in your FB email and password. Now when you look at your phone, under the messaging settings, you'll noticed that FB chat is enabled.
You will probably have to manually resync at the very least for it to work. Other people have reported that it just takes time for your contacts to show up, and some other people have had success simply waiting because eventually they showed up for them.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I haven't heard of anyone else that has that problem either. That would bug me too.

I've found that this is just an issue between Facebook chat and however Microsoft implements it. I've been using the Facebook chat integration in Windows Live Messenger 2011 since it first came out, and it can be sketchy at times. There are some people whom I'll appear online to, but they can't send me a message if I'm only logged in through Messenger. If I'm viewing the Facebook page, they can message me.
I also find that sometimes messages can take a long time to go through, if at all sometimes. It seems like every message will go through if you message back fairly quickly, but those that have been sitting for a while take a while to go through.
I also sometimes find that people will appear offline for no reason through Messenger, but everything works fine on the Facebook page.
I would imagine all these same problems from Messenger would also be there for the most part in Mango. It's an annoyance, but it has certainly made Messenger a lot more useful, and definitely will be a useful addition to Mango.
I stand corrected, the Facebook Chat support in Mango on my HD2 is actually working flawlessly. There hasn't been any missed messages, and only a couple have come in slightly delayed (no more than 10 seconds).
I've also been using my computer that is signed in with Windows Live 2011, and messages that come in and say the other person is offline, that isn't happening in Mango.
It's only been a couple days, but I'm impressed so far.

No clue what happened but glad it's ok now.. Loving Mango so much...
I use HTC Friend Stream as my client for Twitter but I don't want it to update my status on facebook each time I write something meant for twitter.
I now I can delete the account, but I want to maintain the other functions of Facebook for HTC Sense.
I there any way of doing that??
There's a setting when you go to post in Friendstream that allows you to post to one or the other or both.
It looks like this:
*------
*------
*------
It actually looks like checkboxes with lines next to them but you get the idea. Touch that and it'll allow you to uncheck Facebook Updates. That's the way I have mine set.
