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.
Anyone found a fix yet?

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

Android fb app sucks period. G2 and mt4g both never gave me notifications.
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6
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.

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.

I haven't set up the Facebook link though. So everyone with this phone is having this problem? Is there a simpler fix where I can avoid flashing a new rom?

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.

Good point. I didn't even think about that.

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.

Some of them already had the +1 but they still don't show up.
What I did was uninstalled Facebook then restart the phone, reinstalled and I have my sync contacts (Facebook setting) unchecked. It works for me :-/

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 switched recently to Boca and could not be happier in terms of performance and battery life.
I am missing one thing though: the well designed / slick / beautiful email app from Samsung (probably the only touchwiz thing I miss I would say)
Which email app are you guys using? Kaiten, Moxier, Enhanced email look interesting. Any advice?
I remember a post a year ago explaining Samsung's email app was just a derivative of another one but I cant find the ppst anymore... Could be interesting to explore this as well

Email
I tried Maildroid, it seemed okay. I prefer Samsung email over the Gmail app too...
I really like the Samsung email app on my 8.9. I use that for my work email and keep my personal email in the gmail app. On my galaxy s and my (former) evo I use the enhanced email app. The developer for that app was really responsive when I first got it (back when it was $0.99, and had less than 50 downloads). I originally got the enhanced email app because it was the first one I could find that offered exchange phone lock password requirement bypass.
Thank you, I will have a look I checked K9 and Kaiten mail but I can't believe they still don't support Exchange 2010
I lve the Samsung app, definitely my favorite but I haven't found anyway to install it on a non Samsung ROM. I tried restoring with Titanium backup, I tried installing through ADB, but then got some certificates issues... Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Couldn't find anything on the web with people able to go around and install it
If you want the samsung mail then you need to use a Touchwiz based rom. Boca is a CM7 based rom. Other than that if you need trie exchange support then touchdown is the best. Or just use imap and kaiten.

Yes I know that you need a Samsung Rom to have the right certificates for Samsung's apps which is definitely not the case with AOSP or CM ROMs
I was just wondering if some people had found workarounds
Touchdown? It's not gonna happen the application is bulky and ugly...
Thanks anyway
But there is some hope...
Unfortunately not yet for exchange accounts

Its not even about certificates more so than the whole touchwiz framework that needs to be there. If you are just after two pane email.for your gmail, run 160-182 dpi and set browser for ipad and you will get the gmail ipad site. On the other hand, Touchdown is not ugly once you fiddle with it but is the only working EWS client next to ICS I believe, unless you want Good for Enterprise (shutters at the thought).
Lemme know what you end up with.

Already using Good Enterprise for my Work email on my tab. It's not bad actually but eats a lot of battery
I am not looking for an app for GMail, but my personal exchange email. It looks like the one tat messes the least with your overall Android experience is Enhanced Email (And it does support Exchange 2010 accounts). Only downside is it doesn't seem to add any proprietary calendar and to be honest the default Android calendar is relly... ugly... (And not very practical)
Forget about Enhanced Email... It looked interesting from everything I read... BUT I tried the eval app. It resets all the sync emails every time I get over a few days emails... (Could be an issue with the trial version though, but if you make a trial version, you make it good....)
Besides it doesn't allow you to input from your device more than the name, number and email of a contact. Forget about birthdays, etc...
The developer seems reactive but it'snot going to be enough. Aaah I miss my Samsung's email client !!!
So, not I wont get this and I may very well stay on the stock app even though it misses pinch and zoom as well as search...
I hope ICS will be better. Anyway K9 is getting close to a good working solution for Exchange 2010 so I will probably wait until then..
Now I am using MIUI rom but missing Samsung stock email app. I tried pasting apk and odex to system folder but it is not working. Is there any way to get this application on miui. I tried. Different market mail like k9, Maildroid bit nothing comes close to samsung mail app

Happy to find someone who shares my opinion
If you follow my link above you will find a version of Samsung's app hat installs on MIUI but is a bit buggy (Will not easily allow to attach something to the email and will not support Exchange accounts)
So around once every other day my Messages app will crash and say it had to close. When I go back in, all my messages are gone. I then have to restore them via SMS backup. That would be all and good except this time the file is corrupt. Is anybody else having this issue?
Not I. Have you thought of using a 3rd party application? GoSMS and Handcent are pretty popular. GoSMS has an online backup too which is pretty cool.

I'm using ICS Keyboard. Don't care for anything else. Can I use that keyboard with any of those apps?
Yeah of course. That's what's nice about android. You can replace anything you don't like. When you install a different keyboard, you can use it in any application.

Backup messaging with titanium backup and restore app plus data and they will still be there when the issue occurs. SD far as solving the issue, maybe try finding the messaging apk and putting it in the system/app folder. That should give a more reliable experience.

Greetings XDA,
O.k. I'm new to Samsung and touchwiz so please forgive me, coming from the HTC One to the Edge. I previously used a few messaging apps going to one for this and another for that, keeping one for private messages an another for this and that... Google voice, go sms or handscent, the stock sms app, and hangouts, now voice and hangouts are kinda merging... however I am finding it annoying to be forced to stick with only one messaging app... it appears that touchwiz will only allow one such app controlling access to send messages.... is there a way to disable the system from forcing me to stick to only one app and locking the other ones?
I'm currently running the below rom
[ROM] Sprint Note Edge SM-915P NK1 Rooted Stock Deodexed
Thanx for any helpful suggestions
Im on stock and it lets me pick between sms/mms apps. Im using the lollipop messaging app from the play store default
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe it's just me then...
However try and use another sms/mms app if it's not your currently selected default messaging app, and see if it allows you to send a message from that app without changing it to now become your new default messaging app.

No it makes you switch tha one to default. but thats very easily done in settings. It like hangouts, it is on the edge, but i refuse to use it cuz i hate it for some reason. I d/l' ed "messaging" for lollipop in play store and enabled it as default in settings and im a happy camper
