Hi All,
First, I wanna say that you guys are so freakin awesome! I've been an xda lurker for a while, but figured it's time for me to join and interact with my fellow HTC Sensation-ers.
It'd be a good chance for me to contribute to these forums, as well as getting some help for my Sensation problems. Glad to be a part of you guys now
Question: Why doesn't Facebook for Android push notifications work on my Sensation 4G?
Background Info: Private Messages in Facebook get pushed, but regular notifications (e.g. wall posts, comments, likes) do not get pushed to my device.
Went into facebook settings, and everything it's at its default values (never touched a thing). Notifications are on.
Other information pertaining to situation: Background data is ON. Always-On mobile data has been tried on and off. Same results both ways.
Can you help a brotha out?
Thanks, guys! I look forward to being a part of your community.
I read that if you sign in on a blackberry it fixes that for android due to a permission that Facebook for bb gives. I don't know if its true but worth a try I guess

Hi fr0zenblood75,
Thanks for the response.
I also have read that before. I actually went far enough to borrow my friends Bold 9780 without him knowing
Alas, it did not work
Does every Sensation user have this issue? Or am I in the minority with this?
Also, I've restarted my phone, factory reset, uninstall and reinstall app....nothing works.
Facebook kinda sucks. You try another app like friendcaster?

I'm not familiar with friendcaster. Is it a facebook for android alternative and does it do push notifications? Thanks.

It sucks that the Facebook app is garbage
I guess the developer has no incentive to get the app working properly for everybody, seeing that it's not ad-supported.

Yeah it needs some work I think. I set up a new task under tasker to lower the media volume to 1 when I'm in the game and then restore it back to 4 when I exit.
To find it search under words with friends zynga
Notifications do work though.

anyone else having an issue where it isn't seeing all of your contacts? it is bringing them all up except like 4-5, and of course those are the people I want to play against.
I HATE the full screen pop up ads.
I hope they release a pay version soon.
Also...I'm getting a lot of fc's and it lags and delays when its changing turns.
Yes...buggy like crazy. I expected much more from Zynga. Especially since they have great work on the i-devices.

I'm guessing that it only does your e-mail contacts, because the same thing happened to me and it seemed to coincide with people that I've e-mailed instead of people that I have on my phone.

This problem plagues tons of android 2.2.x devices...captivate and atrix included. They located the problem and patched it in CM7 for SGS. When we get it ported, the problem will go away.

Does anyone have problems receiving MMS pictures from iPhone users?? I tend to get a long message saying "one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I used to get a similar message on the Atrix. Why the hell does this happen??
Not an Android issue, it's AT&T wanting to give you a "multimedia experience" which annoys the hell out of me. Once the ROMs come out, it'll be gone. It was the same with the HTC Aria, Samsung Captivate, and HTC Inspire 4G... With my last phone, Inspire 4G, any rom applied broke the play-button thing, so photos just showed up like on normal phones.
Why must AT&T try to get their hands all over everything? It's so annoying.
First thing I did when I got my phone was delete the stock samsung mms app and replace it with the stock aosp mms app
I use SUFBS but root explorer does the same....

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.
On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?
I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?
So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

The slowness and lagginess of the new Market reminds me of Ovi Store on my old Nokia N96. Google can do much better than this! Probably a "contract out" job. No other Google app is anywhere near this bad.
Found a way to bypass the PIN system.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >Market > Clear Data
If you had set up a pin, clear the data then it won't be set up anymore...
Really poor implementation.

Did you try purchasing an app after clearing data? I'm just thinking that although the cleared settings may not show there is a PIN set up anymore, it might be stored server-side?
Otherwise, yes, that is appalling!
with this thing is basically impossible to update anything ... Google Maps, Locations, AURA for Android, Sound Houd etc etc ... a message pops up telling me an update is available, when i tap it it shows the application page on market i tap update a loading circle appears and iam waiting and waiting and waiting ... 5min, 20min, 30mins .. then exiting market app with no update.

I've had a similar issue and I think I traced it to MightyText (which seemed ot be occasionally intercepting my texts but then losing htem somehow, most notably on MMS messages). So IF you have / use that app / service you might want to just try out disabling it and see if it helps.
