So here's the story, I loaned my friend my phone the other day so he could check his fb account using the regular fb app. He was asking me how to check his notifications and showed me the phone, and when i got the phone I saw that there was an icon like a sign post in the notification bar, so I pulled it down and lo and behold there was a notification for someone commenting on his status a minute ago. I was checking it out and they were PUSH notifications! I thought Facebook had silently updated itself, so when i got my phone back I immediately logged into my account and updated my status to something interesting, but no push notifications even though people were updating. Has anyone else been able to enable push notifications using just the default app?

Mine does it. Have you tried logging out, uninstalling fb completely, downloading a fresh copy... Reinstalling?
Also check your accounts and settings to make sure fb is set up for autosync... May be worth a try...

That works with getting messages, but my friend was getting actual push notifications for every notification he received right as it happened.

Not really cuz I have the phone set to check every hour, yet even when the phone was locked he was getting notifications for everything right as they happened. Seriously this is my second android phone and that's the first time I've ever seen Facebook do that.

I get push notifications right as they happen. All day long. Has been like this since day one. I'm pretty sire its the Facebook for HTC Sense that's doing it. Not the actual Facebook app. Try logging out of your Facebook for HTC Sense account in your settings then logging back in. Like I said, this has been working for me since day one on the stock rom. And still works on every rom I have used since.

Messed around with all my settings and still nothing. This is bugging the he'll out of me cuz all my friend did was log in. I checked the actual website and the "facebook for android " app doesn't show up in the list of allowed apps, any way this could be the cause?

An update for anyone still wanting to get push notifications: I was able to enable them in my phone, but i had to suck up my pride first and log into fb using the IPHONE app. Once you log in you'll get a pop up asking if you want to enable push notifications. Select yes and log out and go back to your sweet beautiful android phone and you will have push the notifications enabled!

grrr! i just tried this with my wifes iphone, but no pop up about the push notifications. frustrating
I am having problems with the Facebook notifications. I can not receive any of them. Its the ROM issue, because my wife can receive notifications and her phone is not even rooted. Anyone having the same problem or know how to troubleshoot?

Its not a rom issue...if you've never signed into Facebook on a blackberry, notifications will not work! Sign onto a blackberry and you will start getting them on your android...idk why it works but it does

I just downloaded FB for the hell of it - have you gone into facebook > settings and checked "Notifications' active, then down to 'Notification ringtone' and set a tone? It was defaulted to 'Silent' on my phone.
Yeah all those are good. I just can't get the notifications on the status bar

@nativesmiley: Facebook push notifications will work where they show in status bar.
Here is what I did that eventually got it working -
Logged into FB on computer - In 'Account Settings' > 'Mobile Settings' - I activated my phone number.
In FB app on phone - went to Settings > 'Refresh interval' - Set it to 'Never' and Notifications set to 'Active'.
Clicked the three bars in top left corner, scrolled down to the bottom, click 'Account'. Then 'Account settings'. Then 'Security'. Enabled 'Email Login Notifications'.
You should compare these settings to your wife's phone.
I am also on Valhalla Black.
Here are some things that are really driving me crazy, to the point where I'm considering returning the phone for the s3 or iPhone:
-Sending sms messages (using handcent app) I often get the 'unable to send message' notification, even when I have full service. The notification repeats over and over again until I delete the message.
-Google voice voicemails not sending notifications. I can't see if I have any received any voicemails until I open google voice and all the sudden all the notifications come in.
-no 'favorites' tab on the phone app. Favorites exist under groups, but for some reason you can't put the favorites down on the menu to make quick calls easier.
-uploading photos to facebook using 'facebook for htc sense' or regular facebook app often freeze part-way through, even with good wifi connection.
-Often times when I delete emails on the gmail app they still appear in my inbox when I view gmail on my computer. Also can't seem to make gmail automatically update upon opening.
-CALENDAR NOTIFICATIONS: Even when I turned off the facebook calendar sync so I wouldn't get 20 birthday reminders every day, the notifications still won't go away. Anything I put in the calendar pops up on the lock screen every single time, even the day before sometimes. Should I use a different calendar app? I like using the 'productivity' lock screen, but this "feature" is killing me.
Would rooting/ROMing fix these issues? I'm afraid to do it because I'd still like to be able to return the phone if the issues persist.
It's a new device htc, and our devs are still fixing bugs. But with a thread title like that, it wouldnprobably be best of you returned it.
But a few of you issues are know, and some are user related. I don't think Gmail has ever auto updated when opened just click the refresh button.

1. Use the stock SMS app and see if it still happens. You can't get mad at a phone if you aren't using the app meant for it. Switching phones won't fix this issue.
2. Thats due to crappy multitasking, check out one of the Custom ROMs out there or Scott's multitasking fix. Or one of the AOSP ROMs.
3. You can add favorite people to the homescreens. And I believe this is not unique to this phone.
4. Try a custom ROM, I've never had that issue.
5. Thats the normal way the gmail app behaves. Its not weird or this phone's fault.
6. You need to disable what calendars you want to see and which you don't. Its somewhere under settings inside the calendar app, google it. I had this same quibble but i fixed it by finding the setting for it. Disable "Facebook Birthdays" or something as a calendar.
return it, bye
Please don't leave us. We owe you so much.
An s3 would probably make you happier. The reason you are getting a better response here is because we have had so many omg this phone sucks, omg it blah blah blah, the insert phone here never did this threads its annoying to the existing HOX users.

I know how to turn off certain calendars. I'm not getting the facebook birthdays anymore. What bothers me is that on any day where I have something in the calendar, I get a reminder for it every time I see the lock screen. Once would be enough, especially when the reminder starts the day before the event.
i wish there was a forum where there was a bunch of grown ups talked about real issues, and mods and what not...and not all these baby OMG this phone sucks stuff. Go get the s3 you know what...you'll have issues there too, go get the iphone...you know what you'll have issues there...if a device was perfect there would be NO reason to upgrade. I just can't stand looking at anymore of these stupid threads. I work with two girls one has the iphone and the other the s3....iphone fell on the floor two days ago shattered the stupid glass they have on it...the other that has the s3 has three scratches. I dropped my one x it bounced all over the tile floor...flawless. just saying.
Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa , wow that's all it takes to Piss you off? Especially when there's world hunger and disease running rampant in other countries? Want something to really be pissed about? I paid 12 dollars for a long island iced tea and I didn't even get a buzz.

I got annoyed by the calendar thing too, but for me if I open the event then it goes away.

I'd return the phone if I was you. I think you'd be happier with something simpler like an iPhone. I happen to like tinkering, hence the one x.

1. You can't blame HTC for something not working right with software that you put on the phone yourself.
2. Gmail never auto updates when you open it.

Friday's has a wicked ultimate long island. Pretty sure it's cheaper than $12 and definitely gets you buzzed. 4 of them and I'm done for.

I agree, they're pretty good. That's what I usually get at Fridays. That or their electric lemonades. It really depends on what bartender you get. It can be hit or miss. I've had some really good cocktails there and some really bad ones.

It sounds like that's because you have an all-day event, so every time you see the lock screen that day, that all-day event appears on top. I'm assuming you are using the productivity lock screen.
The solution is simply: when you turn on the screen and see your lock screen, swipe left on the name of the event. That will show the next appointment for today (or the next all-day event, in which case you need to swipe some more). Next time you turn on the phone and see the lock screen, it will show the upcoming event and no longer the all-day event. Doing the swipe is equivalent to dismissing the reminder on the lock screen.
Hey there,
So I don't always message people, but when I do I rarely get notified they replies. This mainly occurs in Hangouts and Facebook Messenger. What happens is I will message someone, close the messaging app, lock the screen and wait for my led notification light to alert me that I have a reply. But every now and then I don't!!! I currently run the Paranoid Android Beat4.
Thanks in Advance

I have also the same problem with all the apps that send notifications....fb,fb messenger,g+ and tapatalk...fb and fb messenger sometimes send notifications...g+ and tapatalk almost never....
When I wake up in the morning I have to manually check my messages and gmail because sometime through the night the notifcations disappear. It could be something crashes during the night, because I know I am reaching onto my desk from my bed to clear the notification but leave it unread.
Same here. I made a post referring to the phone sleeping through notifications. Seems it can happen with any notification but mostly I notice it with Hangouts.
I have a feeling this issue is what many people are actually referring to when they say their notification LED doesn't always work. Except the sound doesn't play either.

I switched off the stock email APP because it was showing the wrong number of mails on the icon.
I went back to Bluemail which I had used on my Moto Z without issue, took that off and now have Typeapp but same problem - no incoming email notification sound on either?
Any thoughts?

OK if you have done all the necessary settings (all permissions, notifications settings, ignoring Android optimization) then....
You have the same problem either if you leave the app open in resent apps?
This is a more general problem than just with BlueMail.
If you look back a few weeks you'll find a thread about MailDroid, that doesn't give a proper notification tone. I've had to change to Blue Mail, and it does notify properly for me. However when I first used it the app didn't always pick up a mail until I brought it out of lock. It seems to be OK now.
I think this is down to the Mate's aggressive battery-saving that is supposed to learn about app use.
And yes, I have checked the app settings and the phone settings over and over to make sure they are right.
Thanks for the replies. I tried another 3 APPS and all failed to play the notification when I sent a test mail from my PC.
I ended up back with an oldie I haven't used for years - K9 - and all is working as it should.
Not the most up to date look but if it works I'll settle for that. Four APPS with all the settings to key in and then delete it took me to midnight last night... enough was enough
Glad to hear you have found a substitute that works.
With so many different apps being affected, I'm sure there is a system problem with notifications. Hopefully this will be sorted with a future update.
Outlook works fine. Gmail is worse.
