[Q] question about push data

i have been looking all over this phone, and i can't find out how to set how frequently the g2x looks for new notifications (from apps like facebook).
i am very new with android and any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance!

It's up to the developer to add push data to their app. I don't know of many apps that support push besides, the google apps, whatsapp, and kik.

i'm not talking about push data i guess. how do i set how often my g2x looks for data from apps like facebook and words with friends. i want it to look maybe once every 4 or 5 hours, so i can save battery
thanks

In every case I've seen so far that is set in each app, facebook, twitter, weather etc.

Is it not in Settings->Account Sync?.. (taking a shot at an obvious suggestion here).

Push or sync update???

So I guess it was not wrong to suggest the obvious, lol. Not even trying to put myself on a pedestal here but its just kind of gratifying that I came to the conclusion myself (even if it was so simple), lol.

Facebook Woes

Probably the only complaint I have about my new phone is the lack of a 100% working Facebook experience.
The Facebook app seems to periodically just stop updating/issuing notifications for periods at a time.
TweetDeck works for awhile but then suddenly loses my settings.
Seemic doesn't automatically update/issue notifications at all plus I don't like the fact that the updates from multiple services aren't integrated in one stream like Tweetdeck does.
Not sure what other options I have at this point.

Mine seems to work fine

One of the things that worked super well for me on my old phone was "fim" but sadly, I dont think that its available for android, just winmo. Hopefully the devs decide to port it

If you go Settings->Account and Sync, is background data/auto-sync turned on?
also down where it says "Manage Accounts" make sure it's turned on also.

Yea dude mine us working fine. Check your settings?

yup and yup.
I actually have two facebook items listed here.. the first seems to be for that social updates its called Facebook SocialUpdates when I go in to its details. I have that turned off. When its turned on it generates session expired errors and when I gave it my login it won't accept the password (I've verified the pw is correct).
The other just says Facebook in its details and that is on.
edit: maybe there's another app its conflicting with... frustrating.

Are you running stock? If you're rooted, what I would try is making a back up of your apps using Titanium Backup and then uninstalling all your social networking apps that could be conflicting with it and then reinstall only facebook from the market and see if that helps. Again, that's just what I would try. Good luck

I'm running stock, but I think I'll take your advice anyway and uninstall all the social network apps... can't hurt.

I would have to agree with you, DarienA, of all three OS's, facebook for android is the worst. I mostly speak about the options available in this app version. I am a little biased as my previous phone had FB 2.0 and it was very nice, plus the push notifications were almost instant. Just my two cents on facebook for android.

My work phone is a Blackberry Torch. I've been spoiled by its FB app.

I would have to disagree. The fb app for iPhone is awful.

Besides the App needing the ability to delete comments, seeing all who like something and built in video uploads, I've not had issues with it.

How do you remove comments?

It'd be nice to be able to tag photos. I don't think you can do that with the iphone FB app either though.

Yeah you can. The app just never functioned for me properly on my iPhone. Never got my notifications, comments wouldn't load...I'm having much better experiences with the android app.

Well upon further investigation, you can only remove posts or comments that originated from the app...at least that's what I've seen so far.

Facebook App Going To Mobile Page!

Anyone having issues today where the Facebook app takes you to the mobile page? I've even rebooted the phone and same problem..the app simply takes you to the browser and the mobile page.

I have the same problem, it's irritating as hell! I can't even get to the main menu, it goes right to the mobile site.

oh god i was about to slam my phone on the floor. i thought it was mine.

I've uninstalled the last updates...but that basically puts the "stock" Facebook app back in place that the Infuse came with...it works though...

i cleared the data and it worked for a while then went back to the same thing... OPTIMUS PRIME DISAPPROVES

I'm sure this has to do with facebook and their shenanigans with changing the API so much...

I uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. It's been working as it should for about an hour now.
Edit: Scratch that. I spoke too soon. Going right to the mobile web version once again. Even that is acting weird.

I had been having some serious lag issues on my phone, mainly in the launcher(s)...since I removed the Facebook updates and went back to the stock one, lag seems to be gone..not 100% sure that was the cause but I like it right now!

FriendCaster Pro is much better than the Facebook app.

same issue with fb

I wonder if this is related to the rampant app autoblocking that Facebook started yesterday? More collateral damage?
It might resolve itself later today - I know my photos uploaded by KDE KIPI (another victim of the rampant autoblocking) are back.

Friend Caster Pro. Doesnt do that. Works better then the official app.

I would stick with freind caster but i cant stand the stupid games and **** showing. if i could get rid of that stuff showing, id stick with it.

Hi all of you ! just go to settings, applications, manage applications, go to facebook app and push clear data. Works on my captivate.

It does. Facebook doesn't make the app for 3.x so this is the version for Android 2.x.x.

it works like a charm, thanks mate
//TFT Prime 1.6

Thanks for this OP. I was disappointed that I couldn't get fb to work anymore without using the browser.
I installed it without uninstalling my existing fb app first and it didn't work. It FC every time I opened it.
After uninstalling and reinstalling again, it now works like a charm.
Gave "Thanks"

Thanks for this
Was too lazy to take it off the phone so I've been suffering with FriendCaster

They became lazy once they get big. Looking at FB, I can see the next MySpace.

Does anyone know if this means it will add sync for facebook contacts? Kinda missing that on my TF.
EDIT: Welp, I might as well should of just installed it to answer my own question. I did. It synced my contacts. Now I can post pictures to facebook.
This definitely is better for chat than the browser but I don't think it will notify correctly?
Anyway, thanks for posting the APK!

Me too. If I click Friends its going to FC. anyone else having the same issue?

Contacts + "Best Contact App Ever for Android"

Just thought I'd let you folks know about Contacts+ , the contacts app I'm using on my stock now.
It is totally packed with features (chiefly, integration with social networks, WhatsApp integration and smart ordering), looks absolutely lovely, and just elevates the Android experience when using a smartphone.
As an added bonus, it pimps out your SMS and call log appearance and functionality as well.

I've tried it before. It works good with finding contact information in notes but I haven't used the apk in forever.
