Facebook query

Hi
A few months ago I was using BB Storm 2 and was alerted when ever someone posted on my Facebook or commented on something I had commented on
Does this do that too or is that just a BB thing
Thanks

Sounds like you're on about push alerts. Depending on who you believe v1.5.0 on the Desire was meant to include these but I've never had them so I'd say no it currently doesn't include them
You can set up you account to send you an email when those events happen but the app will only alert to messages, friend requests & event invites

So if its not included could I not just install the app

Yes, you can and there is a new version out today. But some people seem to get the notifications and some don't.

As an aside, the FB app is already on the Desire - just update it to v1.5.1 (todays update) via the Market
Not had any push notifications so far so doubt it's working...seems the BB/iPhone version are better than the Android one

I get push notifications for new messages,friend requests and event invites, but I had to set the app to never poll,rather than every 30 minutes etc. That should give you push notifications. But it's still quite limited, you don't get anything when someone comments on a photo etc.

The only notifications I get every from facebook are when I get messages or friend requests. But most seem to be quite delayed at times, between when they're actually sent and when I get my notification on my phone.
Only downside to android is the lack of a good well working facebook app.

Facebook need to pull their finger out their arse and actually make a decent app. Fair enough, it's harder to make an Android app than an iPhone app since there are loads of different models.... but still.
As for push notifications, they're suppose to work if you have 2.2+ but they don't.

theres a few 3rd party facebook apps that have push notifications

Facebook Notifications: Not Getting Any?

So the subject says it all. I'm new to WP7 (not new to tech by any means)... Maybe I missed something obvious but I can't find it.
I had two notifications. But- my phone told me of neither of them by itself. I had to open the app to see them.
We're talking they were a good 45 minutes old, too.

The FB app does not support live tiles and push notifications and neither does the people hub, so yeah u need to open the FB app to check out updates.

You can turn on email notifications in your FB Account. Than you will get an email for New Messages or something Else.

I note on the Facebook for Windows Phone Facebook page, they've promised a new version with "features that [we've] been asking for".
It seems it has gotten delayed, probably owing to the recent messages bug, but maybe - just maybe - this may support notifications through the OS or a live tile?
The notifications issue, along with support for FB chat, seems to be the biggest request on there, so we might be in luck.

It should be supported natively with the rest of the Facebook features.

Your point being?
Live tiles, or rather "at a glance" was the big selling point for WP7. Sure, you get "at a glance" information galore for the people pinned to start but not being notified about messages on FB is weak - should definitely have been in the app from day one. Not to mention they still need to sort out the scrolling issues.

need I remind you that fb push notifications didn't come till last august on android? Let's be real, android's FB before last summer was a piece of crap compared to the apple platform..and even then there were some bugs till fall of last year...and android's been around since 08...and it still doesn't go without bugs...with toasting or push notifications
I mean i admit the facebook xap is paltry and has a lot of issues in coding which should be corrected but I say give it time

I can't believe that the Microsoft-coded stuff (even Facebook app) wouldn't have Live Tiles or push support. That one surprises me more than anything on WP.
However- I never recall my iPhone not supporting Push and doing it well.
Android was certainly sketchy, even after running 2.3.
Right now my best "solution" seems to be as suggested and setting up email notifications.

My point is that this is not a mature OS and I think (hope lol) MS will add that feature in the future. There's a lot of things that could have been added from day one, but MS wanted to focus on the most important features and making sure they work perfectly before implementing them.

Android supports PUSH well. All of Google's services are pushed, and let's get real... Google didn't add C2DM (their PUSH service) until Android 2.2.
Facebook Chat is pushed on Android, and it's as fast as ever. I know because my Vibrant is going off everytime I'm having a Facebook Chat conversation in Widnows Live Messenger/Facebook.com . I also get all of my Facebook Notifications (Posts/Replies/Messages) really fast.
Flory on WP7 has fast Push/Toast/Live Tile notifications, but the application takes so long to load and/or resume that it's virtually useless. Since the first day I've installed it, I've never gotten it to load my contact list for GTalk or Facebook again... So I uninstalled...
I have my Facebook Background Sync interval (Both in the App, and in TouchWiz/SocialHub) set to 12 hours so I know it's not polling, BTW...
Right now my best "solution" seems to be as suggested and setting up email notifications.
Click to expand...

The biggest issue I have is that it's clunky, waste data and battery life (downloading emails uses way more battery power than getting a Push Notification) and is simply impractical for people with busy Social Networks. Do you REALLY want 30+ Facebook emails a day? 1 Hour or more less battery life (these smartphones are already working overtime trying to provide decent battery life)? People with low data plans won't want to do that, either...
Also, on other platforms you get to set different Notification Ringtones for Different Applications, which let you know whether or not you need to even bother looking at the phone when something comes in.
Microsoft needs to implement this.
For me, personally, the Push Notifications isn't that big of an issue (Toast), but a Live Ticker on People Tile would be good.
The biggest issue is that People Hub is a gimmick. It's nothing but a glorified RSS feed for social networks. It doesn't support Facebook Messaging or any of that, only posting and replying... That's why if you are a Facebook user you still need the Facebook application installed on your phone. People Hub barely passes for an alternative, if it does at all... It is too functionally thin to be truly useful and the fact that it doesn't update its information in the background makes it not really worth using over the Facebook application which does much more and has a better user experience.
WP7 has really good voice recognition (at least for English) and Bing is good now, so there's hardly a need to open the People Hub when you can just "Call PersonX Mobile/Work/etc." and the phone gets it done faster than you could if you went through the contact list (if it is of factorable length/size). Hell, the other day I just said "Call Pizza Hut" and it got the city right and everything. One less number in my contact list

Google didn't implement C2DM on Android until FroYo.
Facebook Getting Push on Android in August means they were very fast in implementing it after Google added C2DM, which destroys your argument/excuse/justification.
When you cut through the spin, Facebook was fast as hell at getting Push Notifications to Android, and Launched Facebook chat in that client as well.
I simply don't think they wanted to implement their own Push Solution, with 500+ million users... It't just too much. Better to use a native solution and and allow Android/iOS/WP7/BB users get their stuff pushed through Google/Apple/MS/RIM instead...

Facebook integration was, according to MS, a very important feature. Since the FB app is a MS commissioned app you would expect them to have taken full advantage of their, so called, killer features.
My point here isn't so much that it's a missing feature but rather that it's a missing feature which has all the necessary building blocks available for use - and they decided not to utilize them.

Maybe I'm wrong but I swear that WeatherBug Live Tile is updating itself. I'm going to consciously not open it and see if it updates again this morning. If this is true: why can't other apps do this?
As far as the people hub, I don't use it much. Alot of it is as I've already said... None of the apps cache data. That sucks. These apps should be able to poll and cache in the background, but they don't. The People Hub is one such app. I might as well use the Facebook app.
I can see the People Hub having some use but as you said, it seems more like a replacement to Facebook... And unless it has the full functionality of the Facebook app, why use it?
I also agree with your statements on Flory. It never loads my contact list. Maybe I'm not patient enough- but it doesn't even matter... If it takes more than 15 seconds to load it, it's useless.
I must say one thing I miss from Custom ROMs... Headphone amp. I listen to a podcast that, when I'm driving 75mph- you can't freaking hear it with the volume on the radio and phone all the way up. On a Custom ROM I had a headphone amp that I was able to crank it up and hear it with plenty of extra volume. I sorely miss this.
A question... How do I voice dial/search? I realize if I go into the search- I can hit the mic button and do it from there. However from the main screen, holding search does nothing. ????????????
Also... On large contact lists, how do I scroll to say, the M's? I cannot figure this out at all. On Android/iPhone you have a alphabet on the right and you slide your finger down it to the letter you want.

[MOD] Some System-Apks which should be optimised. First one Email.apk!

Well I hate the fact that the new Email-Apk let you just sync back 1 month. So I modded it to 100 days. Maybe I could improve it even more but first I want to mod some other Apps (especially System-Apps) which annoy me.
Feel free to post your wishes and I'll look what I can do for you (and me of course )
I have a list of things that annoy me and I'll try to change them.
Email.apk: Sync (at least 3 months)
Browser.apk: at least the useragent feature
Camera.apk: Mute the sounds. (I think someone already did that). Some other options like no ISO or so.
FmRadio: To listen to the radio without a headphone (I know the headphones are the antenna but maybe it goes anyway if you're outside and have a good reception.
MusicPlayer: hmmm
SamsungWidget_News: Other languages
TouchWiz30Launcher: .....
Note: You need ROOT to install Systemapps (well not install but copy them into /system/app or push it with adb)

I have the problem, that the vibration notification is very short. When I have it in my pocket I don't realize that a mail is coming. The gmail app has a much longer vibration notification. Is this possible to change?
Thanks!!!

Do you think it's possible to mod the stock Samsung email.apk to use a client certificate (personal certificate in .pfx or .p12 -format)?
I need this for my work email but I like the stock Samsung email client, so I rather not install any third party client.
Also disabling Exchange policy enforcement would be nice.

I tried a few keyboards and found this problem. I saw on one of the vendors forums that he was looking into this. He found that Samsung used something non standard which caused the issue. I recall a beta from the vendor showing progress as the dictionary worked, but things like auto full stop still didn't. Sorry, can't recall the products name right now that showed the progress on the problem.

Smart keyboard pro is the keyboard your talking about. Its got prediction but not the other items as u said. Major annoyance.

Request items for email.apk if possible, I'm sure there are many folks out there that would love the enhancement.
1 include bypassed exchange policy.
2 mod to allow multiple select and deletion upon search items.
Not sure if these are possible, as I haven't seen too many enhancement base off stock apps.

[How To] Fix push notifications in the official Facebook app

Hey guys,
So, you know that official Facebook app is supposed to have push notifications, right? Yeah? Well, it apparently does, they just never worked for me at all. Turns out, there's a fix, and it's quite the strange one - you have to sign into the Facebook app on a Blackberry. Once you've done that, you'll start getting push notifications for wall posts, comments, and event invites, with an entirely new notification icon. Weird, no?
Of course, it's not like I had a recent BB device just lying around.. Thankfully, the Blackberry emulator software works just fine for our purposes. I've written up a guide for the curious, with links to the emulator software and so forth.
Seems the fix was found in May over at AndroidCentral, but I'd certainly not seen it posted anywhere I frequent, and had to spend some time searching for a fix to stumble across the post - hence this topic.
Let me know if it works for you.

Really interesting, I'd like to try and see!

Cheers - Weird, isn't it? I'm planning to make a walkthrough video later on today, unfortunately my Galaxy S II's camera is the best I have, so I'll need to convince the girlfriend to let me tinker with her Nexus One to show how it's done.. We'll see if she lets me.

This trick worked for me.

I've always had that notification icon (little sign-post looking thing), and have never signed in on a Blackberry, so I guess mine have always worked for some reason.

Interesting, have you got anything else of note authorised on your Facebook account?

What do you mean by 'private messages'? Facebook chat/messenger? This works for wall posts, comments, and event invites, not messages - that's what the separate Facebook Messenger app is for.

Worked 100 percent for me. Thanks

Then I might have said something stupid, I'll keep you updated.
One observation tho, in your guide you say that it's possible, once you enable this, to deactivate the periodic check, since you get push notifications. I agreed and removed it. If push doesn't "push" private messages tho, I guess that I'll have to re-enable the periodic checks, since that checks private messages received too.

Would you be able to do this for us, if we give you our Facebook credentials? (big big sign of trust I know )

Altho I wish it would push private messages too, so that I could remove the periodic update of 30 min

Private messages get pushed to me and have done so for the past 2 months, something must be up on your end. Make sure you've turned on notifications for messages in the FB app, if that doesn't work then I'm out of ideas mate

Could you send me your Database files in /data/data/com.facebook.katana/databases after cleaning them from any private information ( I'm particularly interested in the key_value database ).
I'm wondering if there's any way we can activate it without this long process, so I wanna compare settings from a push activated device and a not push activated one.

So why do you think this wasn't implemented in the app itself?
Is it because its buggy or a battery drainer?
Or is it because Apple and RIM pay royalties to Facebook to have the better features?

Thanks man ... working like a charm here.

I have always got fb notifications without having to do any of this.

[Q] Why am I not getting Twitter push notifications?

Hey everyone, no matter what ROM I use, Twitter Push notifications won't work on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. Any ideas why? It's really, really frustrating.
Some background: I'm in the US, using the the GSM Galaxy Nexus, which I got from Negri Electronics. I am running it on T-Mobile USA, and it's currently on the Android Revolution ROM. I seem to be the only one getting this issue.
When I rooted, I followed the guide on theunlockr.com http://theunlockr.com/2011/12/14/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-nexus/ which was unlock bootloader, install superboot/root, install rom manager, install rom. I never installed any radio or anything. But, I don't think any of those are issues.
Any ideas?

You don't see a it in settings because it's enabled automatically. Jeez, it's people like you that make XDA unbearable... Educate yourself before you continue. I even provided you with links so you can understand.
Settings have changed with versions. You can turn it off manually, but you're probably too incompetent to understand...

Seems like someone else needs to educate themselves. Directly from your ever-so-educational link, it says:
Push notifications let you instantly receive Twitter updates – no matter what you’re doing on your phone. In your account settings, select “automatic refresh” and choose to receive updates for Direct Messages, @Mentions (from the people you follow or anyone), and Tweets.

I'm sorry, I thought you had some intelligence. Options change with new versions... With the new Twitter app, it's under Notifications, mentions, and if you turn mentions off that means push notifications are off, for mentions. Same goes for DMs. Get it, or is that too fast for you?

Good luck solving your problem with that attitude.
At any rate, Twitter would seem to be the best place to solve problems with the Twitter app, but good luck all the same.

At any rate, Twitter would seem to be the best place to solve problems with the Twitter app, but good luck all the same.

Sorry bro, you were frustrating me. I'm on a shorter fuse than usual. Stressed out - apologies either way. Have a goodnight. I need sleep

I am failing to see why you are being so negative. How can you ask for help and when two separate people try to assist you have a hostile tone to your replies.
I have the new updated twitter app on my GN on VZW. There is NO option for automatic updates or push notifications. There is a time frame where you can pick poll intervals.
You don't have to act like a child in the forums to people only trying to help you!
Maybe push notifications just dont work...

Have to agree with the OP here. If someone mentioned/tweeted me I'd get an email and the Twitter notification at the same time (within seconds of the post). Now I only get the email. The app still recognises the mention under the @Connect tab but I don't get any push notifications whereas I used to on the older versions of the app. Either Twitter has changed something or it's not working

strangely it works on my gsII and my friends GSM & LTE GNexus :?

I just had a browse on Twitter's support resources - there is some indication that you may have to have a sync interval set up (nothing to do with push, I know) in order for push to work, but it was just a hint of a whisper of an idea, nothing definitive.
