No facebook notifications even with friendcaster - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
I couldnt get notifications working with stock facebook application. Im on stock 4.2.2 rom not changes to it. So I bought friendcaster pro and that doesnt seem to be sending me notifications either! I went through the setup with friendcaster and logged in twice as it asked and it said all was working fine, but i see people posting stuff and i get no notifications..
Any idea how to fix it?
Cheers,
Mick

I find notifications to be pretty sporadic whatever app you're using but I find them to be more reliable if you uninstall Facebook and just run FriendCaster.

You do have sync enabled right?

Unable to synchronise Facebook contact

It just keeps saying "Sync is currently experiencing problems" It happened two days ago. I try to fix with factory reset but it doesn't help.I try to sync with my friend account with no luck. Does anyone experience this problem?

Facebook sync doesn't seem to be working anymore. Others are experiencing this so I'm guessing it's the same for every GS owners.
Maybe you right, Davith.
I see other experience problems on Samsung Galaxy S facebook page.
I contact Samsung service but it seems they can't fix my problem.
I suspect that there are problems with Samsung mobile application on facebook.

first i am using built in app to sync contacts - not working
fb 1.3.1 syncing but inside contacts visible as unknown contacts with no photos...
Do not install 1.3.1 FB app!!!!!
if you do, NEVER tell it to sync your contacts.
use only the internal built in sync feature of the SGS!
Check thread #7695544 as well
Yep,
having the same issue as well..
I have the same problems with facebook and sync. How can i fix that??
just a suggestion, you can uninstall the facebook app from market
boot to recovery mode, wipe the data and also wipe the cache
then use the build in Samsung facebook app
I've given up on Facebook sync. It hasn't been working for about two weeks now. SyncMyPix is the way to go if you want to get your contacts' pictures.
Funny thing, it just started to work for me again.. Anyone else?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
same here, I thought by doing some stuff like setting a new fb password, cache clearing and such I had resolved the prob, but maybe it was some general problem caused by facebook itself, not caused by any phone settings.
Well, it started working out of nowhere, let's hope it lasts ;o)

Finallyyyy,
I got crazy trying to fix that f****** issue
100% sure it was Facebook's fault
Just started working here as well. GG Facebook.

Mine are!!!!
The push notifications work for me. They work for both messages (comments and sht) and facebook chat. The facebook chat so far is better than any of those other apps ive used to use facebook chat. They finally got something right, because this facebook chat also rapes the chat on the iPhone.
I wonder if the ppl that say it doesnt work have "enable always-on mobile data" unchecked. If thats unchecked, it will not work at all on 3g. Well...it'll work when you're using the 3g, but wont work as soon as you turn your screen off.
I'm running CM6 on wifi and I haven't gotten any push notifications at all. I have notifications and such enabled and have gotten emails from facebook in the meantime, but no push notifications.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Facebook chat now on there YES
Push notifications seem to be working. I can finally disable email notifications. I like the inclusion of chat but I still prefer Trillian since I can do multi service (GChat + facebook for me) and it also supports the push notifications service.
I can't get it to STOP notifying me. I went into the settings and turned off notifications, but they're still showing up, grrrrr
^^^^ Having the same problem, any one have a solution for this. I had to actually log out because I kept getting chat notifications...
Anyone figured out why cleared/deleted chat conversations keep coming back?
Do the people that are receiving notifications have it synced in the "accounts sync" settings area of android or should the app be pushing notifications regardless? I still only receive notifications when I open the app.

force closing and clear data? i tried and had to sign back in.. havent had anything happen to test if push works for me yet...

Every time I go into add account for Accounts & Sync, Facebook just doesn't load. Facebook for HTC Sense does though as with everything else.
Ah, good I guess for me. I'm in the same boat.

[RESOLVED] Facebook Login problem with JVB

I just updated to JVB using ODIN. Then i rooted with latest cf root for JVB.
After that i tried to add Facebook account to my phone (Built in facebook account).
but it keeps on giving an error saying Login Failed. Samething happens when i try to add twitter account.
But with Facebook app for android i can login successfully...
anyone facing this issue????
Yes!
I have the SAME problem... Really bugging me...
Same with twitter as well
Sooo annoying... The facebook integration is one of the key features of the Galaxy S...
I'm still on XXJVK and have the same problem, think it may be a server problem rather than ROM
It's well documented on the net that Google removed facebook syncing with contacts with the 2.3.3 update on the nexus s. Might be related.
That would definitely suck.

Are u using the built in SNS accounts to add fb and twitter or are you using the fb and twitter apps downloaded from market?
because the problem is only with SNS account. FB Android app works flawlessly.

I think that because the service wont let you connect to the fb/twitter service... cos of that it cant get the new data. Whatever you restored from the backup will show up. Thats just what i think....

I found this problem on friday...
everybody surf by chrome firefox or ie to m.facebook.com
use the browser that you don't connect usually to facebook... and than try to connect to facebook...
they an problem on their servers...
than try to install on your SGS hacked browser and use desktop agent... now you will succeed to connect facebook
have a good week
i also flashed JVB and did a factory reset...
now installed facebook from marked and would set up my account.
It displays an empty EULA field with accept/decline button.
But on this moment the app hangs and crashes. I removed the app and installed the app again, but the same behavior.
EDIT: Ok, after a reboot of my fone the app works and I have no login problem!
Well I'm having the same problem as you guys, though I'm using a I9003 and just did a factory reset!
Seems to be like Samsung's server or facebook/twitter has some problem, especially with so many people logging in after updating...
I revert to JVK and got the same problem
i Guess Samsung has a problem with SNS server
especially that Facebook tell me tht you some one loged in from a samsung mobile device

Emails stop syncing on Nexus S

Afternoon all,
Does anyone have any ideas as to why my Nexus S stops syncing emails after a day or two?
If I go into Manage applications and clear the data, then re-enter my account details it works again for a few days, then stops again.
It doesnt seem to make a difference if it the built in email app or a third party one.
Any thoughts?
TIA

Try reinstalling the app if you haven't yet. I was having this problem with the Gmail app and it worked for me.

No it's just connecting to an Outlook Web Access address. An iPhone connecting to the same server doesnt seem to suffer this problem.

Is there a way to reinstall the built-in email app? I have tried a couple of 3rd party email apps but they suffer the same problem, maybe a cache somewhere is filling up?...
Just wanted to pipe in and say I've noticed this as well with the built-in email client. Connecting to Hotmail via exchange service if that helps. It used to work without interruption prior to 2.3.3.
Same issue here connected to a University msft exchange account running Exchange 2010. I found the only other solution is to reboot the phone, then it start working again... for a bit. Stops working eventually though and requires another reboot. Rinse and repeat...
Nice to know I'm not alone in this irritation though... anyone clever got any thoughts?
Same problem here. Very annoying and unreliable.

Gmail APP

Did anyone else experienced disappearing task bar caused by Gmail App notifications? As soon as I get new email and get a notification, my bar disappears. I hope I'm not the only one.

SKORPiO1975,
Yes, this is a known issue. What happens is the Gmail App sends a notification to the upper Status
Bar and since the Kindle Framework is different than the stock ICS Framework it causes the bar
to disappear as it attempts to post a new message icon into the Kindle Framework. The solution
is simple:
1. Upgrade to Gmail 4.1.2 by installing the attached Gmail apk
2. Open the Gmail Settings, choose Message Actions
3. Change to Do Not Show
4. This solves the problem.
thank you prokennexusa the gmail app you linked above. I downloaded the one from the play store earlier and it kept crashing. I haven't encountered any problem w/ your version yet. Also, do you have an ICS version of the contacts and calender that i can use w/ gmail? because I don't want to use the stock email program I deleted my accounts on it, and now the contacts is all empty. something got screwed up here.
I can't wait for the day when I can replace all this amazon crap w/ a clean CM rom.
thank you!
