So I lent my friend my inspire 4g yesterday so he could check his facebook. He was using the regular facebook app (other than htc sense, i don't have any other facebook type apps installed). He showed me the phone to check out a status, and up in the notification bar there was a notication icon that looked like the icon on the notification bar on facebook's homepage. So I pulled it down and lo and behold it said "John Doe has commented on your status"! When I got my phone back I signed in, but i haven't gotten any notifications. Anyone have any luck?

when you open your facebook app, go to the page where it shows you all of the icons (news feed, profile, friends, etc). go to settings and check to see if you have notifications selected (with messages, friend requests, and event invites selected underneath)

Yeah i've known that for forever, but I'm talking about actual push notifications that alerted you whenever someone commented on your status or a status you've already commented on, similar to the facebook iphone app

How come android doesnt have push notifications? i believe gmail is the only application that has push notifications, theres no setting for the refresh frequency so i assume its push, but what about official twitter, facebook, hotmail?
It depends on what you consider push notifications. If you consider them notifications that appear in a box right on your screen then only system programs can do that. If you just mean notification that appear in the notification bar any app can access that.

In a box right on the screen? you mean ala iphone? no thats no im talking about, for example if someone comments on my facebook wall the notification gets instantly delivered to my phone in the notification bar, the same with emails, not having to wait for a refresh time , 30 or 40 minutes
I'm just freaking out !! I searched everywhere for some explanation, I want my twitter dont receive instant tweets like the one for Iphone. I tested all the apps , the twicca has the fast refresh time (3 minutes ).
Somebody knows how to do it instant or an app that do it ? (for twitter )
Hey guys so I got the sensation and honestly I am loving this device. I have been on WiFi all day but haven't had a problem yet. I guess it is all about how u hold the phone.
Well I do have a slight problem which I need your help in. I can't seem to find the Facebook widget for HTC sense. I downloaded normal fb from market I can use that widget but don't see the sense widget. I see the Twitter for sense but not fb. Let me know what I can do.
Thanks in advance.

I believe it's bundled into the "FriendStream" widget now.
yes indeed..the friendstream is indeed bundled with facebook/twiiter etc
I see. Well it threw me of because in my accounts it is showing Facebook htc n sync's my info but no widget by it self. Oh well.
Thanks guys.

you can always download the android native app and use that widget.. but we already know about the seni and 3rd party widgets,, grrr
Add friendstream widget to your home screen. Then press and hold it and move to "edit" area of the dock. From there you can choose which networks are synced in that particular widget. I have 2 friendstream widgets, 1 for twitter and 1 for facebook.... did not like them all mashed up in one widget.
Hello,
In the directory, when I go to my contacts "Facebook", I have my contacts.
But when I go in my contacts "Facebook for HTC Sense", I have nothing.
As I had sync problems and I deleted my data, is the explanation?
My facebook account is set.
If I run a sync, I have an answer for Facebook for HTC Sense is not currently available
Have you the same thing?

Menu in the top right hand of the screen (in the email app)
Click account settings
Add Account is in the top right hand corner.
Make it your default. If you have another email account setup, you may want to delete it. The widget will tell you the total unread emails across all accounts setup.

Already done that
I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that tapping the widget brings you to the GMail app instead though
The stock email app isn't quite as good as GMail
@slient
I have the same question/problem
I think that's impossible because Google is blocking every connection with Gmail app. No app on the market can connect to Gmail! Even ASUS is not allowed to create an app that works hand-in-hand with Gmail... sadly...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well, technically, the desired effect can be achieved by checking for unread mail the way it is now but tap action should just open the different app.

Ah my bad, I misread the OP.
Out of curiosity what features do you want the gmail app for? The only real difference I saw was priority inbox/starred mails support. I don't use that often enough myself to worry about it.

GMail handles labels better and has a bigger viewing panel
also the default email app doesn't string conversations together
Not impossible, launcher pro has gmail widgets that I use everyday on OG EVO and 3D EVO

i don't think it's possible, just use gmail widget
IS there any app or a mod that will allow me to get a none intrusive pop up when I get a message or something? Kinda like how it in iOS 5?
I have having to stop my game, and go into the menu only to see I have a message from someone I wouldn't of bothered checking in the first place?
Usually I am playing a game, and my phone vibrates but without a way of knowing if its worth my time checking or not, I have to press the menu key, and then reload the game. In the case of Order & Chaos, having to resign into the account is a pain.

Any alternative for us Sense users? I love Sense, so I don't see myself switching to AOSP ROMs. Just my personal preference.

You might wanna check out Popup Notifier Lite and Popup Notifier Pro in market. Let's you decide what popup notifications you get (sms, email, gmail, calendar, missed calls) works extremely well. Even the Lite version does the job nicely
I use handcent for that exact reason... You can even allow the popup to overlay your lockscreen. This allows quick responses without unlocking the phone.

Isn't the iOS 5 notification style the way Android has been doing it for years?
if I'm playing a game, I drop down the notification bar and see a portion of the message and from who it was... if I'm not bothered, I just flip the notification bar back up and continue gaming.. I never leave the app that I'm in.. in case of full screen games putting them no pause or pressing the menu key will show the notification bar if they're coded correctly.
the last thing I want is a popup appearing in the middle of the screen when I'm gaming (or whatever I'm doing on the phone actually), just my 2 cts.

Extractly.
Well I play Order and Chaos, and for some reason whenever I press the menu key, check the message app, upon loading O&C back, it freezes, and I have to manually remove the task,
This is true, but when we get a notification, it doesn't have a pop up like iOS 5. In the sense that, playing O&C it just plays the ringtone, and sometimes not even that. I have to go check the notification light.
I don't play, so the pop up doesn't bother me at all

I've noticed recently that when sharing a Check-in from Foursquare to Facebook that its only shared with me in Facebook and not with my friends - essentially I'm sharing with myself only.
So I go to Foursquare to see if there is an option I'm missing, but I cannot get to the settings menu. I've got my "recent apps" key mapped as a tab for menu which works in all other apps. I also enabled the three dot menu option in CM settings but that does not show anything in the Foursquare interface. I've reinstalled Foursquare and still no dice.
Anyone else with these issues?
