Hi, it's my first post here. I've got a brand new Desire HD, unlocked, and I've noticed something strange.
I think it's strange because on my previous device (a Desire) it acted different.
I've got two Facebook apps installed (by default): Facebook (for android) and Facebook for HTC Sense. The first is version 1.3.2, the latter is version 1.0. Now, on the old Desire the version 1.3.2 was installed from the market ON TOP of the Facebook for HTC Sense, so there was only one Facebook app.
I cannot unistall both of them, so it's somehow boring.
Anyone noticed that too? Is it normal for the Desire HD? (well, I don't think it's pretty normal, because the device sometimes asks me to link 2 equals Facebook, one on normal facebook and the other on facebook htc sense, contacts together )
Thanks for any opinion and advice.
I know exactly how you mean.
I've also tried to link my contacts to Facebook, but it says I have no contacts, yet Facebook is set up on my device. Confusing.
New HTC Sense sucks really!

I always set the device to use Facebook for HTC Sense to sync my contacts, then disable the official facebook app(only disable the contact sync).
Thats always worked for me, sometimes (on my hero) the contacts didn't sync immediately but they always did eventually.
Make sure you're logged into both, in settings>accounts and sync.
@ Meesayen: you shouldn't have two facebook icons, I only have facebook and friendstream. Try either uninstalling the official facebook and reinstalling, if not then a hard reset would most likely sort it..
i've got this problem too, although one of the first things i did when i turned the DHD on was to download the facebook app, not realising it was already on there. but thats not the thing thats bugging me the most. the biggest gripe i've got right now is getting notifications to pop up whenever i get a facebook notification. i only know someone has written on my wall, for example, when i open the FB app and it refreshes.
has anyone figured out how to get facebook notifications to pop up in the taskbar?

Install Tweetdeck for free or F+ for other notifications like birthdays.

haha! i forgot about this. for some reason when i was using a blackberry my email notifications had been turned off on facebook. they come through fine now. still not ideal, but i can live with it.
another question i had - whenever i open up a notification through the facebook app, it always launches the page in a browser and not the app. is this just me? now and then i'll get to see someones wall in the app but 9 times out of 10 it launches in the browser.
Although I don't have my DHD yet I woulser if you can use bloo I currently use it and think its the best fb app but wonder if it will mess with sense fb

hi guys,
i set up both facebook apps (facebook for android and facebook for sense), same with twitter.
but my problem is, everytime my device is syncing with facebook/twitter, it updates my contact pictures with the one from facebook and if there is nothing, with the ones from twitter.
i can manually set to use the phone contact picture, but everything is gone after the next sync.
i think facebook/twitter for htc sense is causing this problem. is there anyway to stop that something is changing my contact pcitures?
is there a setting in the accounts & sync tab? couldnt find any
any ideas?
thanks a lot so far.
it looks like the problem is gone since i got my phone rooted...could it be the reason or just luck?
Hi,
I have no idea why, but I don't get any push notifications from Facebook Messenger. There is no sound, no vibraitions, nothing in notications. And yet, in the app itself I see that someone wrote to me.
Symptoms:
No notifactions
No chatheads
Full Facebook app itself does notifactions: it tells me about new friends, birthdays etc. Also: when I open a new conversation via Facebook app, it creates that chathead bubble. And with that pinned to my screen I can get atleast some sounds.
When I manage apps, under Messenger, I usually have two services: ChatHeadService and MqttPushService (sometimes also EventService and
I still get notifications from other apps, like SMS, Facebook itself, Google Play etc.
What I did:
I cleared all the cache and app data for Facebook and Messenger (multiple times!)
I reinstalled both Facebook and Messenger
I restarted my phone and did Wipe Cache via Recovery.
I double checked if I have notifications enabled both in my Messenger app and in Application Settings
I have enabled synchronization.
Nothing worked. And yes, until... I have no idea what, everything worked just great.
I'm using Galaxy S4 i9505 with I9505XXUEMJ7. And Messenger/Facebook are the newest, freshly installed versions from the market.
Do you have ANY idea how to fix my problem? Maybe there is some KNOX block or whatever that I'm not aware of?
Out of the Blue, the exact same symptoms. Everything was working fine until a few weeks ago. Suddenly, facebook messenger gives me no notifications at all.
What I tried more was installing older facebook and messenger versions without any luck!
My device is Galaxy S4 i9505 with XXUFNB9 no root
My problem was on Facebook side.
Try creating totally new account and log in with it into your Phone. Check if you recieve notifications.
If yes, go to Facebook settings and delete all (ALL) apps that you have connected. From what I gathered the problem was in one of the apps that probably was stealing all the attention.
Yeap! I disabled all apps from Facebook settings and... blink! Notifications! Don't know which app did the trick but don't really mind. Thank you for your time!! :laugh:
SOLVED

It's been a while since i did it but it should word...
For some reason whenever I get chats from Facebook, the floating chat won't pop up. I get the notification from the messenger app and when I press it nothing happens. Just wondering if there is a way to fix this or??

I've been having this problem for a while but I can't seem to fix it.
Basically I get text message notifications but other apps (eBay, PayPal, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, ESPN) do not show notifications.
Funny thing is Clash of Clans gives me notifications. I've checked the common sense stuff "Notifications On" Cleared data, signed out and back in, removed accounts put accounts back on, uninstalled reinstalled.
Is there some setting I'm missing. The problem has been 24/7 for the past few months. I am rooted, anything you guys can think of?
Please help. Thanks
Bump. Anyone?
