Can someone explain to me why facebook can't get it together enough to get notifications in the status bar like gmail?
facebook can and does popup on the notification bar. Its just clicking on the notifications takes you to the website.
I get mine on my status bar.. you have to go to the website.. If on phone go to full site.. right side of screen should say connect on the go try facebook mobile.. click..
Look for Facebook text messaging and follow steps.. if you send the txt to.Facebook with fb in it and get no reply like I did... update your profile! wouldn't work for 2 days till I tried that.. sent and received my code.

Should bring you to the text from Facebook not the website on the notifications bar..

Ill go to settings/updates/update profile on my phone,
How long does that supposed to take tho, I tried last night and it was taking forever
I am only seeing facebook notifications at the top when I open the app.. Do i just need to leave it running in the background to see these?
For awhile I had just been relying on email notifications, but would prefer to not sync that account..
Update! I started the update profile at 8:38 AM CST, and now on my screen is Device Configuration Teh network is preparing your services....
the time now is 9:19 AM CST..
Is this normal
You guys check out the app "Bloo" from the market. It will give you facebook notifications. Also, try searching for bloo 1.5. It has facebook chat

Hey all,
Does anyone know a direct or indirect way to import FB friendlist to the x10 contacts, then merge them with Google contacts (Same as in HTC Sense).
I did manage to link 3 of my Google contacts to their FB account manually (Contact->Edit->Link Contact). Though, I still didn't get everything from this linkage, almost nothing other than the status. It didn't import my friends' display pics and albums, not even their special events like Birthday. I am sure there is a way somehow to do so. Does anyone know it?
Thank you
no one knows?
wait until 2.1 is out. 1.6 doesn't have this feature. my bro Moto CliQ, i also tried on LG GW620. But Nexus One can do this as its a 2.1 features.
That is good, I am looking for this feature too as I used to have it in my HD2. So now, I only use the SyncMyPix to sync the facebook profile photo and link to my contact.

Then I have nothing to do but waiting :s
I thought there would be a solution through Google's, Facebook's, SonyEricsson's pages.

Running a test on SyncMyPix right now
That was OK, thanks for the advice.. Still not quite the complete process I'm looking for.

i used to look for apps, then also link all my contacts to facebook and twitter manually.
after numerous amount of debrand, and root updates. and i never to backup. i don't bother to do it anymore. hehe.
previously, i even browse around all my facebook friends, take their hi res profile picture and put to xperia contacts, now i don't do it anymore. lol.
wait for 2.1.....
For those who have tried both: Which app is better, the stock email, or the Gmail app? All I care about is using it FOR Gmail. I've been using the Gmail app, but wondering if I'm missing out on some features.
It's the same thing. Downloading gmail from the market just updates your stock app. You can tell by going to uninstall it in the market; it will say "uninstall updates" which means you lose the updates but not the apk itself.
The email app is good got a 2nd email address. Use gmail for gmail, it's much better.

Can I assume you are paying the $20/yr for Yahoo's "Plus" service? If not, then that's probably your problem. Can't use POP with a free Yahoo account.
Yahoo has their own email app for android.

New standalone messenger from Facebook. It's the old 'Beluga' app, redone nicely. Caveat for me though. Galaxy S2 with KG5. It won't let me install it.

Nice, APK worked perfectly on my Inspire 4G!!
I'm a bit confused as to why they didn't integrate this with the main app. The main app has chat builtin too but it's a bit cumbersome to use. And god knows why it's incompatible with out phones.
Does it have group chat? And my problem with the app is that chat and messages are separate even though they are integrated in the site itself
thanks for the apk dude!
Many thanks why isn't this on the market?
My bad it is on the market, when i saw you guys requesting apk, i assumed it wasn't on market. Nice find, been looking for this for a while, the ability to send a message from my phone didn't think it was possible, i guess I never looked hard enough.
For those who dont have this install MarketEnabler and set it to US, then download it from the Market.
This one works for the Chat portion which is iffy on the official App. I dont get why they dont just integrate it like on the site though
This one is not available in india

It has Group Messaging. Which is the same but from a Messaging instead of Chat perspective. This is a Messaging not Chat app.
How the main Facebook app doesn't merge Messages/Chat is really annoying. This is how it used to be on Facebook.com, it must be at least a year ago but they've never bothered to update the app. I get Message notifications for people trying to Chat but as the app doesn't understand the merge, they never come through.
It's miles better than the Message section in the main app and properly supports Facebook Messages/Chat threading, whereby both appear in Messages.
I've turned off Message notifications in the main app. There's no point getting two notifications for each message.
p.s - Some messages are missing. I open a friend and some of the messages that appear on Facebook.com aren't there in the app.

Working for me, thanks a lot!
is just your facebook inbox with the added group message...
no chat or anything..
works when you have the massage notification and dont want to visit the mobile site all the time..
maybe they release this app because the message section on the regular facebook app is not working properly..

I imagine so but why not integrate it? The one in the main app is broke and this should replace it. It's pretty slick.
Hey guys,
I could not find any recent related issue
Basically Contacts sync for facebook is not pulling a single record into my contacts. All other account contacts show up, but facebook's
I already tried turning fb sync on and off, clearing app cache and data, uninstalling, reinstalling... Turning off all other sync services... Clearing data and cache from my contacts... And all of that
This is happening on my nexus 10 as well :\
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks
I noticed fb app was recently updated!
Is this a confirmed bug?

Its a Facebook issue as syncing isn't natively supported in stock android. Unlike HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz which support it as its baked into their phones. I use an app called Contact-sync for Facebook, it fixed all my FB syncing problems.
use a app named haxsync

haxsync is worth the price. Gets nice high res contact pictures and adds events and birthdays into your regular calendar app. perfect.
Get haxsync. It not only syncs contacts it syncs Facebook calendars too. Well worth the dollar or two.

It's between Facebook and Google - they had a hissy fit on who 'owns' the contact data on your phone and until they make up it's never gonna be (officially) fixed

Your question was answered by kzoodroid.
Android Jelly Bean does not support contact syncing with facebook.
Device manufacturers like HTC and Samsung added the facebook contact sync into their own devices.. Because they have a contact app (phonebook) that pulls your contacts status updates and such.
Nexus 4 is LG, so no Facebook Contact Sync.
Sidenote: The Contact Sync & Status Updates work for those contacts that have Google+ Profiles though.
Just open the contact, and swipe over, and you'll see their Google+ Info.

What app did you go with? I've never had any problems with Contact Sync for Facebook.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&hl=en
Also the new 2.0 update of Facebook supposedly was written with native code for Android but it still doesn't sync all my contacts.
Haxsync is still the best option in my opinion, the added functionality plus jellybean works too. Also I emailed the dev with an issue and received a response to resolve it the next day. Can't beat that!!

It's actually there for a reason. I'm not sure if you heard, but since a few months ago Facebook has been syncing your phone contacts with your facebook contacts. Not to add any info to your phone, but to add phone numbers and other information to your facebook contact book. It's really dodgy, and facebook was called out on it for not clearly informing users when they first started doing it. A lot of people still have no idea that their contact's phone numbers/email addresses/etc. are being used by facebook in that way.

Wait, so Facebook 2.0 syncs status updates and such now, and you're just having a problem with a few of your contacts? or did you mean to say that it still doesn't sync?
