Does your epic have instant Facebook notifications when someone postson your wall or comments on something you posted?

Nope. Also have a lot of issues with being notified of a comment but when I open the app it says I have nothing. Tweetdeck workedfine for a while but I got tired of it.

Yes, I've been receiving push notifications from the Facebook app. Didn't think they had em since there's a refresh interval setting, but apparently that's for everything including your news feed I suppose. You get push notifications as long as you have the "notifications" box checked in the settings.
Professor did you come from a blackberry to the epic by chance?
Anyone else getting push notifications correctly?

Nope, came from the Samsung Instinct... lol, hella lame phone.
While it really doesn't make sense to me, this is the experience I have had.
Facebook notifications work wonderfully for a few days after I flash a new ROM. They fizzle out and stop working and I forget about it. Then I decide to flash a new leak or SRF comes out with a new version and all of a sudden they work again for a few days.
I don't know why that would be, but it happens every time. I stopped trying to understand and just live with it.
honestly... stock, rom, whatever, I could never get FB notifications to work. is it because I have it being autokilled?
I would have no idea since I turn them off to save battery life. Actually they do work until one goes off after I flashed a rom. Then I turn them off.

My girlfriend has had 2 Blackberrys and I recently got her a Desire and the only thing that bugs her is how she used to get instant notifications from her Facebook app and now she doesn't. The only things that come to her phone as notifications are event invites, friend requests and messages. That's all I get other than through my email as well.
Didn't even know FB pushed notifications. As of now I get notifications to my gmail.
Mine just started working correctly a few weeks ago. I get an instant notification when someone posts, comments on my wall, or sends me a message.
Not sure why it started working but it did..
I'm not sure, but I don't think Facebook uses C2DM. If they do, then they really, REALLY need to fire whoever does the coding for it because it sucks badly.
Edit: Apparently they DO use C2DM, they just suck ass at implementing it.

Has anyone been able to get Facebook push notifications to work with the leak? They are supposed to be working worth 2.2 and higher. I also am aware that the Facebook app its less than perfect.

Mine are hit or miss. To be more direct, for the 15 or so notifications I had today, only once did they get pushed to my phone
I was thinking the same thing. I haven't received one push notification yet.
yeah im not getting any either
how do you set notifications to push? only setting i see is 30 - 1hr - 2hrs - 3hrs - 4hrs

The whole point of push is instant. I know that they only work for certain things. Trying to find out exactly what they are at the moment. This would be the only thing I miss from my BB
I think the only things that get pushed is whatever is listed in the settings which are: messages, friend requests, and event invites. There's no option to turn wall post on and off so Im assuming it doesnt get pushed
On my wifes droid 2 there is a "Push" option listed where you have the 30 minute, 4 hour, etc choices. I have tried 3 different roms, Kaos, aosp, and several of the dl30's roms and this option never shows up on this phone. I do not restore my FB settings each time either, but totally reinstall it.
From reading around on facebook it seems that all the Galaxy S phones, even those with offical froyo, do not have the push option. It seems that overall the support for the push notification on FB is not very good and that tey do not work on a lot of phones currently.
I've received them for those mentioned by jepr0x11, but not for other notifications.
I don't believe android supports a true push like blackberry does, although I think 2.2 does somewhat implement push...pretty sure fb just polls the server at a time interval set by the user tho
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yup Perfectly
Yeah the Facebook push notifications have been working for me perfectly! On eclair (2.1) they would never go through and i would have to manually go check if i had new messages or things like that but now with this Froyo it works perfectly! But at least for me its the same as what "jepr0x11" said.
I wish our fb app was as good as the one for Iowa but judging on how facebook and google have been bumping heads, I don't think facebook is in a rush to upgrade their android app. Is that a run on sentence? Haha

Its not an issue with DL30 rather the FB app that doesn't support wall post notifications. Had the same problems on OG through DL09. All other notifications work as normal. All we can do is turn on email notifications and hope for am FB app update.

I think the Market just sucks at notifying you. Its never been very good at notifying on my G1, mytouch slide, or the Vibrant, so its gotta be the Market.
I thought so too, but notifications work perfectly on my rooted Nook.

I've tried that before with no luck. What's really weird is that my market cache is always 0.0kb in size as well.
I wonder if I have an app or something that is blocking it. Right before I installed Bionix 1.3 I formatted my internal sd (just because I had never done so) and I received market notifications then and thought that maybe it was just clutter. But the issue is back. Super weird.

I also don't receive update notifications until I open my market. I just let programs update automatically, and check it every once in a while for manual updates due to apps requesting new permissions.

I think its a market issue. Its hit or miss for me. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I dont.
I don't know if this is a 2.2 issue or not but ever since i updated, my market has been acting iffy...along with a few other samsung widgets. I don't know if it's a server issue or something with 2.2 on our phones but i know a few people that started having that problem as soon as they updated to 2.2.
Same market issue here, hardly ever get notifications on updates. However whenever I open market all the notifications come up
I'm with everyone else, I don't think I've ever gotten notifications before. My gf's phone doesn't get hers either and shes using a MyTouch Slide. I do get notifications right after I close the Market, but never before.
I think its purely a market issue.

It worked perfectly on android 1.1 with the G1 back then, but since 1.5 its been hit or miss .... guess its been over looked by the OEM, when putting together roms for their devices ... Or it can just be an issue with google's servers .. I just made it a habit to check every day for updates ..
Mine works it seems to work every 3-4 days on notifying me. But, it hangs in the download so I end up doing manual update.
This method go to Market> type find updates or update apps then it seems to find them
The auto update is kinda flaky and unreliable
What's weird about it, at least to me, is that it works perfect on my rooted nook and with the honeycomb demo for my nook. At least I'm not the only SGS owner with issues.

Wait... you think this is a bug/bad thing?
OMG I'd be thrilled to never receive market update notifications, instead, I have to manually kill the service every reboot (even with "do not notify me" set) and often uninstall unwanted updates from my themed apps in /system/app until I have time to theme them.
Royal pain, I'd love to never have updates, lol.

Anyone else?
I did as well and mine hasn't been updated either.
i haven't gotten any except for a random chat message that i got while i was still online on my computer.

Wasn't EC05 since I am still on EB13.
I was using Flow to get my notifications but last night I updated to EC05 and all of a sudden my fb app notifications started pushing again. Maybe they finally got their act together.

Are you expecting it to notify you of Likes? It won't.
Otherwise, there's nothing to set AFAIK. I did turn off the update interval though.

Its not supported yet which is a joke. You only get notified of messages and event invites.
I wasn't getting the facebook push and neither was my husband, but after updating to E05 we are now getting the push notifications. We also had an update from facebook so I am not sure which enabled the push again.

Well kids, i've been running Handcent since day 1. Up until recently it's been great. Exactly what i wanted. But the past few updates have ruined it. It's slower then ever. To the point of being unusable and i've had enough.
What are some alternatives to Handcent? The real reason i got it was because i liked the layout it offered. I never really played with the other features. Any suggestions welcome.
I tried the new Stock and its ok.
Going to try Go SMS.

I have yet to hear anyone say that go SMS has done so. But it seems to be an android problem. I've heard both handcent and chomp SMS delete all messages. Also, if you do a Google search, various android devices have been plagues with deleted messages (the original Droid comes to mind) ,even when using the stock messaging app.
It seems to have been a problem in the messaging framework in earlier android versions. I'd be interested if you could find these reports of deleted messages on phones running Gingerbread.

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.
They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...
I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.
Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.
