Why am i NOT getting a notification in my bar when someone sends for something or replies on my facebook?
Because the Android app doesn't push. Download Bloo and it will push (most) notifications to yo.
that is rediculous! there is even a setting in the android app for notifications. The facebook app on this is a joke compared to iphones thats fa sho
The Facebook app is not that polish. On android 2.1 there is no push notification as noted. I believe 2.2 has this option. Once Facebook updates the app for 2.2 it should include that feature.

the facebook app is pretty lame... the pictures load way too slow
I agree, even verizon or motorola said something on their twitter page about it was the best just to use the browser..lol..
That n the trapster app are my main apps that I use and both work better at the iphone...makes me just want to buy an iphone 2g

its just weird cuz under the facebook settings you can turn notifications on. Why would there be a setting if it didnt work? Anyone who has used the iphone facebook knows this one is lightyears behind........and i didnt even mention the fact that there is NO chat option on this..
I know this doesn't help...
I was pretty sure I had facebook notifications turned off and today I got a notification. wierd.
i downloaded bloo, but as others have said on the app comments, it doesnt work.
My biggest beef with that"app" is the lack of phonebook tab. But there's. About a dozen things I could rant on it... no push updates, no syncing, etc.

So I am a pretty big facebook buy, i dealt with the crappy official Facebook app but now im REALLY sick of it. The Facebook Touch app is slightly better but the developers that made this app really need to wake up, even look at the iPhones facebook app. Why make the app come with the phone and get people to use it but make it a crappy app. Like almost everything redirecting to the web. Maybe even the people that made the XDA app can make a facebook app that relates to the iPhones. Im sure developers on this site could do a hell of alot better. I would even pay for it.
What do you guys think?
I would be willing to pay $10 for an Android Facebook app that matched the functionality of the iPhone Facebook app.
+1million.
I have no clue who the facebook developer team for the official app is but someone should find out and send them an email lol
Trouble is Facebook themselves made the iPhone app, hence why it is so good. I find Bloo is the best we have so far and with chat coming in the next version and a widget soon, it's already better than the 'official' android offering
Wait so the Official facebook app (the one that came on the phone) isn't made by facebook themselves?
however, i like the offical facebook app more, but it shows a photo in mobile facebook instead of showing in it's own apps ... v. sad
Yeah thats what i mean, and on the touch facebook site it doesnm't show picture comments for some reason too. This crap needs to be fixed lol
Just checked my market updates, and there's an official Facebook update in the market (version 1.50)!
It allows push notifications aswell as Facebook chat!

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

I like the facebook app for android, it's finally getting close to the functionality of the iPhone app. I have one annoying problem though, I want links to facebook I get in gmail to open in the Andoid facebook App. Does anyone know how to make this happen? Is there maybe a helper app in the market that fixes this?

No idea how to fix your problem, but try "Flow" its a facebook app thats has push notifications, etc much better than the official facebook app.

Let meknow if you can't find the app, its no longer under development but I choose to believe its the best app that I ever come across for Facebook

Bloo was awesome. Flow seems to be what Bloo could have been. I just wish there was a an intelligent connection between email and the Facebook Android App.
Facebook app for Android sucks compared to the iPhone version. One of the few things I miss about the iPhone.
Ok is anybody else having problems getting their push notifications from the facebook app or is it just me?
Its not you its FB. The iPhone version has the same issue. Notifications are hit and miss.

I use flow for android. Its ama
zing at notifications. Set up is similar to fb app. The free version also requires the use if m.fb.com. When I was using the fb for android app I had all my notification settings to be emailed to me. That was I got them faster.
The FB app sucks for iPhone and Android, hell even the mobile version isn't that great...
Mines is working fine
its sad the blackberries facebook app is the Best -.-
So you got the twitter app for honeycomb. And you can sync your account with your tablet. Am I able to do the same thing with the Facebook app? You know since its not officially in the market for the xoom
Facebook app will not sync on xoom. even when it was officially available on market for xoom it would not sync. Funny thing is it does sync on my girlfriends Asus Transformer

It works on the transformer??? Its time to port things over then. If its possible
of course.
I have had my fair share of frustrations with the Facebook app. I get FB notifications when someone comments, inboxes me, etc... but when I check out the app itself, there is no indication of anything new. If I wait a while (probably an hour), my News feed eventually updates itself.
Also, the FB site sucks in the Browser app. It is difficult to tap on the buttons, and everything goes wonky if I try to view a picture. I usually have to switch to portrait to get anything done.
The FB app is useless. It's worse than terrible on the Xoom and almost as bad on my phone. I use Friendcaster.
so... is there a way to import the sync function from older versions of android to honeycomb? (Pre 2.3) or is there another way to get your facebook contacts into your contacts list on honeycomb??
