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 recently Flashed GB and Valhalla. I can't seem to get the "Phone" icon on the home screen to show up to get to the dialer pad.
I have contacts - messaging - applications. Any fixes?
Is it in your app drawer? If it is, open the app drawer. Press on the menu key choose edit and drag the phone icon where u want it. Hit menu again then select "save". Let me know if it works.

No I don't see it in there.
Have you rebooted your phone? Maybe back everything up and do a factory data reset. That should fix it.

It's in there, unless you were unlucky enough to get a bad download.

Reset to factory and still nothing. Same 3 icons and it is still not in the app drawer
----------------------
When I drag the phone option on the lock screen to open it..it just freezes, kills and reloads to the lock screen as well as the EDT slide function on the lock screen. The unlock slide works fine.
I would download the rom again and reflash

Fixed. Just re-downloaded the ROM and flashed it. Thanks!

Ish. Well now it just constantly resets and reloads itself ..the launcher.
Constant soft boots.

Depends on how there download program works or os depening n which one they are running some will actually make the whole archive granted its blank but all the files are there and it fills in the data as its downloaded even if it gets aborted prematurely it still thinks its complete when its not
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?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
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.
I've installed ICS: The Real Thing and it's a beautiful ROM. I have an issue with deleting an entire message thread. Each time I try to do so, it vibrates, turns black, and says messaging has stopped working. It then force closes.
Also, I am unable to set permissions for TiBu. I went to settings>security>unknown sources (checked the box).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

And for the Good Cop answer: it's a common bug in UCAL4, delete via the menu rather than long pressing the thread/message.

Is it possible to get a smaller battery icon and signal meter for this beautiful ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Title + I've checked all the settings and can't find where this is coming from. It only started when I reinstalled sky ics update. I have a limited plan and mostly use wifi. The 4G turns on even if I'm connected to wifi. I even have background data restricted. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
Like using data turning on? Or just the symbol is showing?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Sometimes it's just the symbol but it's hard to say. When I unlock it I hear a tone and the 4G turns on. Both the widget in the notification bar and my other power bar light up the 4G icon and I see the icon up by the battery indicator show up and show data moving.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
Your phone will always send data if you have the autosync (in your notification bar or accounts and sync in settings) but it probably won't send much. If your on I cs then you can keep track of your data usage in the settings menu. The third option.......just turn mobile data on and it will start tracking how much you use. If its using a lot then an app (e.g. facebook) is sending data constantly. You can change the apps (whatever one) setting to not auto update or update less often. My 4g icon is on all the time but uses little data. Hope this helps.
And you can turn your data toggle(4g) off when your on wifi or just when you need to check stuff. You'll still get texts. Just won't be using data
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
It doesn't seem to be using much data, but simply toggling the 4G button doesn't work because it just turns back on by itself. I'd like it to stay off when I set it as off. btw, I'm pretty sure I have no apps set to auto update (I like to have control of what goes on my phone). I'll double check to be sure. Thanks!
