I setup facebook and my Buddies Now widget. But for some strange reason , not all my buddies facebook status shows up. When I go through contacts, I can see that they are linked to the appropriate facebook contact. But when I click "Activities" nothing is there.
Like I said this only happened to some of my contacts. I'm assuming it's probably because they haven't updated their facebook status in awhile. Whereas, the the contacts that I can see their facebook status, actually updated theirs a few days ago.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Thats probably what it is, like if they haven't had any activity maybe it just hasn't pulled anything for them yet. I had some issue with this, but it was with all my contacts, since I hadn't "pulled" the friends list on this phone, I just used the one imported from the Evo, but after I readded the friends list from Facebook straight from the Epic menu, it updates fine now.

Yeah...I'm hoping that's what it is. I'm going to see if I can get one of them to update their status.
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?
Seriously, bb and facebook rock. Android and fb suck. I get NO notifications. Ever. Why? I dont know why. I read on here that people do get notifications so what the deal is? Why am i not getting any?
This is on stock, on root, cm7, and same issues on my g2 and mt4g, and nether one of my phones with 2 different facebook accounts for two different people get notifications. Is there a setting in facebook on the desktop that im unaware of?

There are better and alternate facebook apps on the market maybe the notifications will work with those. I have no notification issue myself with the official app but there are other options you can try. Account/sync settings may be some help as well.

I get the exact same issue, No matter what android phone I had. No notifications are being pushed to my phone at all. I did have it working at some point, but it suddenly stopped.
Yea mine was working when I first had my mt4g, but even then it was not up to date much. Then all the sudden it stopped. Back then I was running iced glacier rom on that phone

I rarely use Facebook so I'm probably not the best indication of whether notifications are working on not, but I noticed that I used to get them fine with the old version of the app, it stopped working/worked sporadically for about two versions, and then it started working again with the latest update that just came out last week.
Like I said though, I rarely get any notifications to begin with so maybe it is still sporadic and I've just been lucky so far (especially since it seems like a lot of people have had nothing but problems with the latest update).

I downloaded the new version last night.... no changes other than the notifications screen works in landscape

Ok sadly none of us seemed to think about this...
Typically, when I open facebook, I see a list of posts, then I back out and I see notifications screen, then I back out again and think its still running but in reality, its actually turned off.
Instead of backing out of the program like anything else, just hit the home button to exit fb and notifcations work just fine.

Same here. I am also using the official app and no notifications are being pushed to me either, and they are enabled. I am running stock software on my G2. My girlfriend has Mytouch 3G and she gets the notifications. Pretty weird stuff.
I just did the facebook app update the other day and my notifications are now working.
I am running CM 6.1.1
make sure in facebook app settintgs you have a CHECK next to notifications and refresh interval set to 1 hour.
also make sure contact sync is ON, which might help?
I don't use facebook.
Ehh, I'm not gunna complain, the fb is 100% better than it was half a year ago.lol. but yeah, +1 for the no notifications.

well like i said above, dont back out of the program, just hit the home button and leave it running.
if using a task killer, ignore FB. i have been getting notifications since yesterday when i tried this. apparently, FB must be running in order for notifications to work, exiting the program or killing it completely does not allow for push notifications to run thru.
Flow for Facebook is a really good alternative app. It has an option to use the email notifications you get from facebook and switch that over to use for the app. For example, If someone comments on my post I will see the email thing appear but it will disappear and switch to the flow notification saying its for facebook and what not. Theres an option to delete the emails too when it gets notified(paid version). Try it out, I have both official and flow. Flow is so i get instant notifications and the official is just for playing around because flow doesnt have chat yet.
Congrat' : you've just given your Fb IDs to a private company !
but same probleme here... I wish I could receive several sort of notifications... (birthday, event...). Now, I just receive mail....
I get notifications you need to set it up in facebook? If you not done that take a look at privacy settings. I requested on notifications when people add me on post on my wall that's it to many get really annoying......

I don't bother with the FB app notifications, they don't seem to work anyway. I just use the FB texts.
Well, I gave up on the FB App notifications months ago. So I just set up my account so it sends me texts anytime I get a notification. Way easier, at least for me. I didn't have that many problems with notifications still, but they were always late. Like a minute or so. Texts are faster, at least with me. Just saying :3
I never have problems getting notification from fb. They also are going right thru gmail

I have my Email app setup and I'm not using the gmail app. I get emails and it vibrates and makes a sound, the notification will show in the notification bar for 1-2 seconds max then will disappear. This happens allot but not all of the time. I have notifications enabled for my 4 accounts, like I said it shows sometimes and not for specific accounts.

This is a continuation of a thread I saw in T-Mobile. I am having this issue as well and I wish there was a fix!
Guess no one else has this issue?
Alrighty, Stu,...
We played this game regarding the forced closed Email app,...I'm going to wait and see what you find out regarding the email notification disappearing instead of trying to figure it out myself and realize you already found out the cause AFTER I spent the time figuring it out on my own,...
Won't fool me twice, sir!!
Nimitch the ball is in your court. I have no idea why the damn notifications show then disappear. Please figure it out and let me know. I am stumped!
same here on dissapearing
Anyone have any idea in how to solve this? This is driving me crazy
Yeah I have this issue also. Though it was just me.

I have the issue also. I installed the email and exchange apk's from the 4.4 dump and everything seems to be working well. Maybe it is just an issue with the Samsung email app. I would revert back if it gets fixed as I liked the Samsung app.

I dont know but this is absolutely driving me crazy.
Had the same problem with Samsung app, I think it was happening when you were getting mail on one account and new mail was coming to another. I switched to 4.4 and uninstalled the original samsung one. I love how every account in 4.4 has a separate notification area. I wish it had an option to disable multiple message stacking though.
I noticed this on my S7 Edge after it was updated to Nougat and it persists on the S8.
I've noted that apps like Facebook Messenger and Nine (Email) sleep much differently than before. Facebook Messenger will often appear "disconnected" as when I open the app, it has to "reconnect". My email app, Nine, is also not pushing as often when the app isn't open either causing a bit of delay in receiving emails.
Has anyone else noticed their apps not sleeping the same and losing connectivity since Nougat / S8.
I have noticed this too, also happened on my Pixel.
So possibly a Nougat issue then?
Anyone else experiencing this?
Yep, I almost gave up on this phone until I found that you should disable optimization for import push apps. Ever since I did this, no more delays.

Just did this for Nine and Facebook Messenger. Will let you know how I make out. Thanks so much!!
So far, Facebook Messenger has not disconnected when the phone is sleeping. Will be able to confirm Nine back to normal tomorrow once I get a bunch of emails.
Looks like I'm resolved now!
Awesome! That what this community is about.
