Hi there,
Before, when I updated my status from my phone it said: ... From Facebook for Android
But now it says: From Facebook mobile =( !
Same thing for iPhone.
What's going on with Facebook "?
It sucks, now people wont know if you're using a smart phone or not.
Does it matter?
I noticed they recently stopped sending me notification emails when something happens. They sent me an email saying I was going to get less of them but I didnt read it. I dont like not getting notification emails because im not on facebook everyday and I like being notified if something happens. Point being it looks like theyre making a lot of changes recently.
Still says 'BlackBerry' at present - whether that changes or not who knows. Doesn't really matter, though

If you read that email it would say that you can go to the website and re-enable those email notifications.

I have recently got the X10i after yrs of a N95 ( sorry ), am doing my best to like the phone and am giving it every chance. I have lurked on this site and last week I rooted the phone and made it more personnal for me, thanks to the developers and those who provide the info for rooting.
I quickly removed the moxier stuff and also the messaging app but I am having issues with handcent sms, I wanted it for group/bulk texting tbh but it seems I have to restart the phone to get it to send a text to a group which has got 18 recipients.
Once the phone has started up I can send a group text no probs but the second group text will send to 1 or 2 of my contacts but the rest then fail, so I then restart the phone and resend the text and they get delivered, I have tried chompsms, grouptext and groupui, but each one gives me the same problem.
Has anybody got any ideas or another app I could try to resolve this issue ?
maybe it could be that the sms apps you use need (or work thanks) the main messaging app which were installed on the phone, the one you uninstalled.

I dont think it is that to be honest, I think it is more to do with the amount of contacts in the list, so I am hopeful that somebody confirms this and also gives me a better option.

Actually this could be true, as you should not remove core system applications, such as messaging.
so, you can try resetting your phone using Update Service software on your pc. I tried searching for an SMS app in my mobile folder to share with you, but there are several files that may be connected togheter, about messaging, and I am not able to choose the right one (or ones) to share.
I got a moto XT701, and it's google talk can't receive any message from anyone in my talk list. But my friend can receive my message that i sent. It work fine before, but this problem just start since yesterday. I check the history in Gmail, I can see that my friend had replied the message but don't know why my phone doesn't show it. Does anyone know why to fix this??? Please........
Same here. Have found no solution. Instead I use ebuddy.

there's a whole thread about this.. http://www.google.com/support/forum...ec&hl=en&fid=25293086b64af5ec0004902ae6cb07e5
anyway it looks like it's not rom/radio/app related , it has something to do with your gmail account

Hi, if I send a mail with the iPhone comes a tone. Is that possible with an android?
Holy crap that font is GIANT. Was that necessary or just an iphone thing? Anyway, what? If you send an email on your iphone it makes noise? What?
it comes a sound!
When you send an email on the iPhone, and the send is complete/successful, you get a "whoosh" sound.
No it's not possible on the Android.
Why ist that not possible?

I find this kind of silly since I know I am sending an e-mail, why do I need a sound to tell me something I already know

It's not silly. The Mail.app on the Mac does the same thing.
What the sound does is tell you that the email has successfully left your outbox. Kind of handy to have an audible confirmation of that if you've switched out of the mail app and are doing something else.
Many times on my Androids I've had emails stuck in the outbox with no knowledge of it until I wondered why no reply and had to go to the outbox within the app.
I don't miss it on my droids, but I didn't mind it on my iPhones.
Some may not like the feature, some may love it, but I wouldn't call it silly.

yes, but it is not really necessary
if you are using PUSH email as most of us should probably be doing (i know i am) then as soon as you sent the email
you just need to check on your AllMail folder
if it's there, then it sent out properly
if it's not there, then it did not go out
yahoo mail, works very similar too, using the yahoo mail app
even apps like K9 have access to sync via SMTP
the only problematic email are people stuck on Hotmail and Exchange Servers, those are well... kind of on their own, until a better email app comes around to support microsoft stuff

Is the stock gmail app a push email client? o.o

I get the stuck outgoing emails and the ONLY email app I use is the stock version of gmail.apk, which only talks to google.
Background syncing on, data connection always enabled, etc.
I'm not arguing it's necessary, but like everything else, it would be a nice "option" to have.
Sometimes the only way to clear it is to go to settings and clear data.
I've had the same issue of emails getting stuck in both the gmail client and the email client.
It's irrelevant of the type of email account, as the emails appear to get stuck when there is a lapse of connectivity.
The Facebook Push Notifications doesn't work for me. Chat is working fine, but not comments, Friend requests and so on!.
Does it work for anyone here with Facebook 1.5.1? If Yes what are your settings?
Android 2.2.1 DHD Leedroid 1.5.1a Facebook 1.5.1
it does not work for me either ...
I haven't had it working for me either..I will get notification bar updates but no push notifications.
damn it ... I think they removed this function.. but why? What is with a downgrade.
Should be 1.5.0
Yep, it's been quiet for a while here too.
It has been quiet my end as well for some time.
I remember we used to get them
Does anyone have the Facebook 1.5.0 version, I would try this out!
I tried it with fb 1.50, too.
Doesnt working either!
My understanding of Facebook push notifications is that they SUCK!!! Sorry about that. When normal people think of push notifications we think of notifications of things we actually want to be notified of like wall posts, comments, likes, etc. Unfortunately for us when Facebook thinks push notifications they think about pushing us notifications for things we don't care about like event invites and inbox messages.
I don't have much in faith in facebook in that we will ever get push support for all notifications :-( It seems to me that facebook's strategy for android will be to integrate features into the phone instead of delivering a stealer app people. This means working with OEMs as they have been as of late. I don't think we will ever get a useful app from facebook.
Currently I think Tweetdeck provides you with the most comprehensive facebook notification support and when you combine that with the actually facebook app all notifications are covered I believe. The only downside is that Tweetdeck is poll driven.
I used to get it for comments, wall post, inbox bla bla..
now didnt get it anymore.. oh well, thats fine... it's not like my world will end without push noti anw
I think 1.5.1 broke or disabled the push notifications feature.
flow
Have you guys tried facebook flow? I just installed it testerday. I has the option of utilizing gmail push notification to send/recieve facebook notifications.
Ive liked it more and more since I have installed it, and the push works great
Yeah man. Sad that Facebook not going to deliver an application for android users. Sigh..

I believe both beejive and trillian use push notifications.
trillian is half the price of beejive and if you use trillian's desktop or web app you can have your im conversations on your phone synced to those products.
beejive on the other hand saves your conversations to your sdcard and also has the ability to email the transcripts to what ever account you want.
trillian lets you set a custom ringtone for notifications where as beejive only lets you pick from either the yahoo, msn, or aol im sound. I think this is unfortunate though beejive lets you set a different sound when the app is active and when it is idel which is cool
beejive will notify you in the status bar when you receive an im as well as blink the led, though I think the status bar notification is timed (by that I mean the notification disappears from the status bar after some set time. This is what I have noticed idk anything official)
I believe trillian also notifies you in the status bar. trillian also allows you to suspend the app. this logs you out of the app on the phone but keeps you logged into all your im services on trillian's servers. I think this is prob similar to beejive's idel stat in that it is designed to use less battery when not actively using the app. If the app is suspended you will receive an email notification that you have received an im.
As far as support goes, trillian has a forum that you can post any questions in. The only support for beejive that I know of are their email addresses listed on their website and the market-place and I haven't had much luck when emailing them questions.
beejive also lets you set your status: available, away, busy, and invisible and also have custom status messages for each service. You can also delete, appear offline, and block contacts though I haven't had success with those features.
I think that they should re-add those features back.
For a second there, I thought I was the only one that noticed that Facebook push notifications actually existed for a short while and then died. I've done multiple phone wipes and rebuilds to try to correct the problem. Now it's clear that it's a Facebook thing and not my phone.
I setup a gmail account just for facebook....I get instant notifications....I gave up on face book notification. And only reason i setup another gmail...so i can have a diffrent tone and nothing but FB mesages. THe moment you get your message its sent to your gmail you setup.
I think the lack of notifications is on purpose, and it makes sense. Here is why, an average person has well over 100 friends on FB, if you leave a comment on any post you recieve a notification on facebook each time someone responds, if you "like" a post, the same thing happens, now figure that you commented on 20 or more different posts and made a few yourself, Do you people have any idea how incredibly annoying it would be to get a notification everytime someone "likes" or comments on those same posts or links anytime after? It makes perfect sense why FB only pushes Friend Requests, PM's and Events. I won't even get into the amount of server bandwith it would be using. It's common sense.
I suppose it would be nice for them to offer an option in the settings for the people so incredibly obsessed with every little thing that happens on facebook but I myself would go insane if my phone vibrated or beeped everytime someone responded to a wall post.
Uh....Facebook allows push notifications for everything. Just not push notifications from app. Everything you mentioned is pushed to my gmail account or sms. Yes does get annoying if 50 people reply to a post but FB does push notifications.

I noticed when I make calls I get this little popup.
https://goo.gl/photos/8b9n6tNrWzGyLTuQ8
Is there a way to get rid of this? I cant figure out if this is from an app I installed, I thought it was from TrueCaller but I uninstalled it and the popup still showed up. Is this from the Samsung dialer? Im not thinking it is because its showing a totally different image for who I am calling. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? When I tap on it, it shows me SMS, Notes, and Reminders for that user.
It looks like the FaceBook Messenger
I dont use Facebook at all nor do I have anything Facebook related installed on my phone.

Finally figured it out. I had installed 'ROLO' while trying to find a good dialer/spam caller app. It was apparently picking up when I was making phone calls and popping up that little icon. Removed ROLO and now its gone Lesson learned? Checking under MyApps in the Play Store helps A LOT!!

Rolo Dev Here. I just learnt something today. We need to connect this badge to Rolo much better!
Sucks that I did not see this thread before . You could have disabled that badge within Rolo. There is a setting that could help you do that.
Why we do it? - Quite a few of our users like the badge and that it can immediately give you notes/sms/call history before you answer a call.
