Facebook app - getting notified for specific page updates - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been looking everywhere so I decided to ask here.. Is there any way to get push notifications for just one chosen Facebook page about their updates (statuses, photos,..)? Something like twitter has build in in its official app.
Thanks

Have you tried asking Facebook support?

Nope, based on 'support' I got from there earlier.. I mean, it probably isn't possible in the vanilla app but I wonder if there is someone with similar issue maybe solved by external app..

Only thing is, you can't turn facebook chat notifications off from the android app, so I get notifications from both. Also you can't see who's online.
Will we get updates for this being as though it's not installed through the market?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I put this on so people can experience it before it becomes widely available on the market so no you won't get updates but if all you are going to do is complain about it don't use it your choice
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Thanks for it.
Not complaining about it as I personally think it's fantastic... I've stopped using the official facebook app now which has fixed the double notification issue. I use friendcaster now which is much better in my opinion, I set friendcaster to notify me of a new message then when you click on the pop up it takes you into the messenger app! I just hope they update so that we can see who's online.
Finally is anyone else getting the message that there's an update? Anyone have the apk for that?

Best Facebook Alternative

What is the best Facebook alternative in Google Play? The original one SUCKS because it takes forever to load.
Sent from my GT-I925 using xda premium
MySpace? Lol Google plus? Lol jk I hear Friendcaster for Facebook
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I've tried friendcaster. Its a good app. Yet its not for me.l :/
Sent from my GT-I925 using xda premium
an alternative facebook app, or an alternative social network?
Google plus is your best bet, great communication with people who have the same interests. Take time to look at the many guides for how to get the most out of your experience.
Sorry for the confusing title. I meant an alternative for the Facebook app

Friendcaster is the only thing worth a damn. the others suck and never sync right or post spam on your behalf.
how about flipster? My friend said its a good app and uses little memory

I've found just going to the mobile site using the web browser works best for me. No apps to download and youcan do everything you need to. only thing you don't get is notifications which to me isn't a big deal.

Are you able to somehow view events in fast for facebook? I bought fast pro last night, and noticed I can't seem to see events. Lately my work friends have been scheduling their Happy hours through it, and I'd like to be able to see it on my phone without using the mobile site.

Not sure but here's the Fast for Facebook thread can ask the dev. Or see if he would implement that into it.

Chrome keeps auto sharing to Pocket with giving me choice?

If I set a default share app in another app, like twitter, Chrome will also use that as a default share app, not giving me a choice in the matter. Why this change?
Same issue here, but I haven't even chosen a default share app. I chose to share to gmail in my twitter app and now most apps are sharing automatically to gmail.

I don't have that issue...both of you mentioned twitter, that's probably to blame
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It's still doing it even though I cleared defaults. I don't get it.

I'm having this problem too. Seems to be a bug with Android: https://code.google.com/p/android/i...nd&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Yes, I have to keep clearing app defaults in settings, because chrome is remembering share settings from other apps for some reason and using it for itself, with no choice.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Same here. Each time I try to share a page with chrome it opens "import to Google drive". The only way I found to get the share choices back is to deactivate Google drive
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same problem its just copying to clip board not giving me the share via menu at all. Same with the XDA app BTW.

Alright I fixed it. You need to go to Apps I. Settings and go to the 3 dot menu on top right and reset apps preferences like so. Yay!

No offence but you didn't fix anything..you just reset app prefs like most people know. There's still a bug, it just happens again...

That sucks I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Google needs to seed a fix soon too many pot holes in this build for the N5.

Had this problem too but clearing app defaults worked for me. For now anyhow..

Is there a way to set an app as the default option for sharing? I only want to share to Pocket in Chrome and Twitter etc. Is that possible?

YouTube

I am using a new nexus 5 which I bought recently and I'm having this problem with YouTube app that voice search is not starting a search on it I to manually type words but on Google now and other apps its fine I'm using non rooted stock rom
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Voice search isn't working on my YouTube either so you aren't alone. It acts like its listening then does nothing after I speak to it. Probably just the app though because my nexus 5 is a few months old

Lately XDA app redirects

For the past week or so when I open the app I get redirected to the google store. I have to close the store and reopen XDA app. Anyone else experienced this?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Free mobile app
This has been happening to me as well.. only it will not only open the store but also my browser and then i have to hit the back button like 5 times to get back to where i can open xda again.. then half the time it does it again.
I decided that to get rid of the ads i would just get the premium versio . So what.. it was only a $1.50... come to find out the premium version is nothi g like the free version. I get some extra widgets to put on the home screen but i cant even change the notification sound..
I just wanted the free app without being redirected 5 different places due to ads.. ?
Thanks for your response, not a good thing but at least I'm not the only one. Maybe I'll go back to using the browser instead of the app. It just happened again, first it open my browser then went to play store. Closed play store and opened app, then it worked.

I too have noticed this happening over just the past few days.
It is super annoying but it's nice to know I'm not the only one having the problems.

I have also been having this issue. Does anyone know whether this is intentional behavior or perhaps some setting I unwittingly made?

It's nothing you've done. I'm uninstalling this app and leaving negative feedback. It used to be a good app, and I've used it for a few years now, but I'm done with the redirections.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Good idea, uninstalling it also.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Free mobile app
Uninstalled the app, now using chrome browser I still get redirected, be.
