So recently i switched from a white mytouch to a black mytouch.. on my old mytouch the facebook push notifications worked perfectly... now on my new black mytouch the facebook notifications no longer work.
Anyone else seeing this problem i googled the issue and its hit and miss on people having this issue.
for those of you that do have a facebook can you go into your facebook app settings and see if you see an option for push notifications. I suspect that for one reason or another the people that download the facebook app from the market place may or may not get a version with push notifications as an option, i could be wrong.
if anyone has a fix for this it would also help
Same here. I got my black MT4G on Fri & mine stopped worked by Friday night.
so it worked at one point for you also then it just stopped working...?
Try pushing Facebook to the system I occasionally get them on cm 7 when Facebook wants to work ... I notice stock espresso has a fusion of the app and HTC account as well cause it only ask me to sync Facebook with the HTC account when I sign in the app

the facebook app is the one i downloaded from the market, not the local system facebook app. it's just weird i have been looking into this and noticed it happen across all carriers that are running android 2.2 devices.
I have had this same issue with my facebook app. My push notifications were working, then just stopped one day. I might get a pushed notification when I open the app . . . and also my widget doesn't update all the time.
Yup, chalk me up to one who's facebook doesn't push notifications through. It worked for a few days...then stopped completely.
Me too not working anymore..

Ive had the same issue.. after playing around and trying a few things out.. ive realized its only when you leave a comment using the facebook app.. if someone responds, it doesnt tell you via email .. If someone messages you, comments your page ect it does email you. If you start a conversation with the facebook app it wont follow up.
If you start a conversation from the PC it does notify your phone but not the other way around. I tested it last night and left a few comments at a buddies page. the following day i went back using the app and later the PC and there were responses, except i never got a notification.
Push notifications has nothing to do with emails lol

I'm having the same problem for the last 2 months on Stock rom and CM7 RC1 and CM7 nightlys. It has to be the FB App issue. I just use the gmail app to notify me about stuff on FB for now.

I've noticed this problem recently only after switching to CM7 from Evil's DHD rom, but it's the facebook app and not the rom?
I originally had a white one and it pushed the notifications but now it doesn't on my black one. And now on the black mytouch I can't use Facebook in friendstream

Well back to report. I tried pretty much everything I rooted my phone switched roms to several different ones. I also tried to push a stock Facebook app to the phone to no avail. I don't know how to get Facebook to push my notifications again.
More so then anything it's not the fact that I love Facebook thy much it just irritates me that something doesn't work when it use to.

Did and Did more then one time non of these helped.
try one of the UN official fbook apps.
I am with Trusselo on this - try one of the unofficial apps. I like FB Black personally, but there are a few out there. Also when I have an issue with it not connecting it is usually because I have changed how I am connected since I first open the app. For example we have six wifi points at my work and if I am walking around the building and go off one onto another then it seems to confuse the app. Turning the wifi off and back on again on the phone and restarting the app is the most I have to do to fix it.
Uninstall fb app. Go to accounts and add fb as a account. After that install the official fb app.

If i do this will facebook add all my friends to my contacts and what not? I don't want everyone on facebook in my phone. Thanks again for the help. Guess i can try and see what happens lol.
Have you tried using the official Facebook app again since when you were having those problems? I have was having that same problem a few days ago too and it went away last night when I gave it a shot again...
I was also having an issue with the official FB app so I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone, re-installed it and now it's working great.
coming from sense and touchwiz, i'm a little spoiled with the built in facebook sync, so i apologize if this question has already been asked before. in my contacts it recognizes my facebook, however whenever i receive a call or text message my facebook pics don't show up. is there a way to get this to work?
Download the facebook app from the marketplace and have it sync contacts.
That worked for me and all my contact info synced right up.

I downloaded syncmypix and it syncs your Facebook photos right to your Gmail account and that cleared it up.

face book if you have synced with your google account it will work. syncing from facebook was stopped by google because they were not using the right api.
...I dont know if this is in effect on froyo 2.2.2 but it was and was highly publisized with gingerbread.
Of course this may be resolved if facebook fixed what ever google had a problem with.

If the sync worked just fine then we wouldn't be having this problem...i installed sincmypix from the market and it seems to work however I feel that we shouldn't need a separate app to get this to work properly.

The weird thing is that the facebook photo appears when I view the contact from the contact list, but when I view my sms threads, the photo is nowhere to be found. Also, when I use HANDCENT SMS, the photos show up just fine.

slightly different problem.
I recently downloaded the FB app for Android. It asked to look at my contacts in order to see who was already on FB so I could add them as friends. There were at least 10 people I don't know. Obviously I have numbers in my phone that no longer belong to the people I know. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to see which numbers these are and either replace the old numbers or delete the contacts all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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 -.-
Just got Inspire, stock rom, not rooted. When people from my phonebook text me, it shows their phone number, not their name, and not their contact icon. However I know I have them saved correctly because if I click on them and go to "view" (from the text) it brings up their full profile with their name and icon that I set up.
If I text them first and then they reply to it, their name/icon shows up and there is no issue.
I haven't added any new contacts, I imported everyone from my gmail contacts that I was using on my old phone, HTC Desire (where they were all working perfectly).
Does anyone know why this is happening?

There are competing theories on this. Many people blame Facebook while others claim to have traced it to the messaging app. I know I have not seen the issue with any Virtuous Unity or ClearDroid ROM. I would suggest rooting and installing a custom ROM. Any custom ROM will be far better than anything AT&T would ever release.

Umm.... Not that I know of. It's a bug with the latest ROM from HTC/AT&T so you will have it as long as you are on that ROM. Rooting is not hard and so worth it.

The easiest fix would be to install a 3rd party sms application like Handcent or GoSMS. Both are free from the Market. Both have more features than the stock messaging application and perform as well or better than the stock app.

The phone itself regconized only the numbers with +1 before area code and such, no dash and space, (and no parenthesis) you noticed how you recieved the text with +1? After you edit all the contacts by adding +1, restart the phone. It take times for the phone to get used to the numbers. Hope this helps.

That didn't work for me. I didn't think that was the problem because I had never even used the Facebook app or anything related to Facebook.
I'll look into rooting and flashing a rom when I have some time, can anyone tell me which rom is as close to stock as possible (with the messages fixed)?
and is Handcent the best messaging app to use for now? I read some negative comments saying you still get notifications in your regular Messages app so you have to do it twice.

ClearDroid is very much like stock. It has the bloated removed, currently uses the Sensor 3.0 messaging app and a 3rd party tethering app.
I have no suggestions for which messaging app might be best as I have always used whatever was included with whatever rom I am using.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
Both Handcent and GoSMS are very good apps. Up to the user to decide which works best for them. And if someone says you get double notifications, is because they do not know what they are doing. Start up the HTC messaging app and go into its settings. Turn off all notifications. Now you won't be bothered by it again. Also in the Handcent settings, it too has a setting to turn off all the HTC SMS notifications and make Handcent the default.

i hope no need to push fb notofication.. but not really
sorry bad english
I haven't used fb lately. But I did get an event invite notification last night. I find sometimes they don't work onedy yet will work the next. I think it may be issues on their end. Try clearing the apps data and login again if not give it a few days and see if they come back.
I dis do the blackberry trick mentioned above on my account though.
To get Facebook push notifications to work you need to set your refresh interval to "Never" and if that doesn't work, leave it at never and do the blackberry trick.
-Wipe Data/Cache of Facebook on your phone and stay signed-out
-Download the Blackberry emulator from your phone
-Log in to Facebook on the emulator and allow the permissions for the Blackberry Emulator
-Check your account from the PC and make sure somewhere under one of your apps it says it's using a Facebook for Blackberry
-Close it all and log back in using your Android Facebook and push notifications should work.
They're hit or miss, they work like 90% of the time it seems.

I just fixed my facebook notifications.
I only got notifications about events but never about posts.
I first cleared cache. That didn't work. I then logged out of the facebook app and relogged and viola it all notifcations work again.
The notification interval is irrelevant btw. I tried never, 30 min, 1 hr. It doesn't matter.
This worked for me so I hope this works for you.
Thank me if it works please xD
Facebook notification has never worked for me. My wife has the Note and it worked for her for the first week then suddenly it stopped. On GB it didn't work and same for ICS no matter which rom you get it will not work. Someone on here mentioned the Blackberry Emulator trick, that is about the only way the notifications will come to your phone. A friend of mine did it in the past and it has worked for him ever since. I will be trying it as soon as I can find the Emulator from my phone which I can't seem to figure out how to download it.

Can you give us a link from where we can download this BlackBerry Emulator?
Thanks
Somewhere on the FB website under security is a section showing authorized or attached devices. Each rom flashed adds another device to the list. Clear out that list entirely, uninstall FB from phone, reboot phone re download FB from market and install. Reboot BEFORE setting up FB login. Once rebooted log into FB again on phone and change the default notificagon sound to your choice and notifications should work again for posts, replies rcomments, etc.
<insert witty signature here>
My push notifications are working fine (Superlite 5.0) but Facebook sync is going bonkers though. It won't sync with existing contacts only, so it's either all Facebook contacts or none at all. A bit annoying.
