Facebook notifications? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK for the first time since I had this phone which is almost a year I installed sprint lovers which I usually use onto my replacement phone and actually got notifications like wall posts and pictures to pop up in my notification panel on my phone and they would be instantly pushed as soon as they happened. Usually the only notification that did show up in my notofication panel were messages events and friend requests but never actual notifications like wall posts and tags from facebook and I'd get them at the refresh intervals set on facebook app. Well I installed cm7 and it wont do that anymore I can't get the instantly pushed notifications. I know there is away somehow since I finally managed to get it on sprint lovers but I have no clue how I did it. So any help

Open Facebook app, hit menu, then setting, then notification. Change the sound from silent and put check marks in some boxes

thats not going to do it. the boxes are for messages friends and events. None for wall posts photos tags ACTUAL notifications. and adding a sound doesnt make them pop up in my notification panel

Well push notifications finally started suddenly working for me on CM7. I can't tell you why it works now but for what it's worth I have refresh set to never, notifications active with notification ringtone set to silent. My contacts are also synced. If those settings don't work adjust your settings in your facebook account perhaps.

Guess it happend to you too what version are you running maybe it's the version that works

Try going menu>settings>apps and find Facebook. Click it and clear data/cache. Reboot your phone and see if that helps. It ussualy fixes things in a lot of apps for me. And if that doesn't work and your rooted go into rom manager and fix permissions. Reboot after that and hopefully it will work for you. Hope this helps

the thing is ive never had it push me notifications besides on one rom ive installed and ive installed that rom numerous times before. Im pretty sure i didnt do anything different so i dont know how i got the notifications pushed to me only working on that one installation.

did you restore it from titanium or did you just re download it from the market. because i have noticed when switching between roms types (which for me is like every 3 days or less haha) such as sense to aosp or 2.2 to 2.3 etc some apps have some left over data from previous installations (if using titanium) and it messes with other roms. like when i switched from cm7 (aosp) to myn's warm twopointtwo (2.2 sense) 2 days ago about a good half of the apps i restored didn't work.

nope i always download it from the market

Flow is good for push notifications, you have to set it up through your email account. I've never had the stock Facebook app work right. If I actually used Facebook more than once a month I might care.
I think the name of Flow just changed to Friend Caster or something, if you're interested in looking it up.

Somehow it pushes notifications again didn't do anything. So maybe they finally worked out push notification because since day one of the evo release it didn't work and now this is the second time in 2 weeks it works

[Q] Froyo update notification sound problem

I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?

By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

Anyone else having this notification issue wit froyo (sorry if this is repost)

This has happened to me about 2 or 3 times now where my phone will get sumthing like a email and having already preset my notifications it will play a totally different one from The one I selected for instance I set my phone to ring audio1.mp3 and it would be fine then randomly a random file will play from my phone and I look in settings under notifications sounds n it would be changed to audio2.mp3.
It's not always the same one it changes to..and there's not particular time it does it ...well not dat I've noticed..happened once while I was browsing,once when I restart my phone, and once just out of the blue in idle..hasn't really gotten too annoying yet but just wanted to know if anyone else experiencing it..

I had the same issues with Handcent when I first got my Inc, and couldn't figure out why, and never did. I switched to chompSMS, and haven't had an issue since. I would love to know why it did that as well...
I have handcent frozen using titanium and still get the second notification... I only don't get it if I freeze the messages app but then I lose mms

I really like Hancent but this notification thing is killing it for me...
Default Messaging app has notifications, auto retreive disabled
Restarted
Wipped phone
I don't get 2 messages, just hear the ring tone two times.
If I disable notifications I only hear one, but then it still vibrates for 3 seconds and I have disabled all vibration.
No other notification vibrates. I swear some of these settings are in here as a tease.
I really love hancent but this may push me to an new app... I can't have this phone vibrating across the table during my meetings.
If you think you can help you can respond here or message me on aim...
Aim name is "Drachnem"

[Q] Just purchased, notification light not working and other questions

Hello. I purchased the Epic 4G Touch two days ago from Best Buy, and I've realised that the notification light doesn't work correctly. When it's plugged in and charging it glows red, and when it's done charging it glows blue. But when it's not plugged in and I get an email, text, missed call, voicemail or Gmail notification, the light doesn't light up. I've checked that SETTINGS > DISPLAY > PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT is ticked, and it was. I've unticked it, shutdown, R+R battery, rebooted and re-ticked it, and still I have no light notifications.
I haven't rooted the phone, it's basically as it was out of the box, on Android 4.0.4, FH13, using the stock messaging app, stock email app for AOL mails, and the Gmail app. I can't see in any of those apps that I have to turn on LED notification, so I don't know what I'm not doing correctly.
Second question is that the guy at Best Buy told me that I should install the Battery Charged Silencer app from play.google.com/store/apps/ details?id=cz.psencik.simple.silence so that my phone doesn't beep in the night when it's done charging, Well, that's all well and good, but my phone doesn't beep when it's done charging, and actually, I'd like it to -- at least during the day -- so how do I make it so that it does beep when fully charged?
Third, I've noticed that the phone's brightness changes occasionally, but only when I open the browser. It's isn't because of Auto brightness, because it happens when I'm stationary in a room where the lighting level hasn't changed (and I don't use Auto brightness anyways). I usually set my phone to be pretty dim, but the browser is often much brighter than that when I open it. When I'm lying in bed, especially, I don't want to get blinded or disturb "Mrs me" when I access the internet. Does the browser have it's own brightness setting? If so I can't find it, so how do I set the browser brightness to be the same as the rest of the phone's? Or do I just have a dodgy screen light?
Also regarding the stock browser, coming from an Android 2.2 handset I fully expected things to be different, but I can't get the browser to open my bookmarks or give me access to the address bar unless I scroll back up to the top of the page. Am I missing something really obvious here, or is that just how it is now? It used to be that pressing the Menu button would let me do that, but it doesn't seem to work that way any more, and it's really annoying to have to scroll to the top of a very long page when I want to go to open a new page.
Fourthly, I know that the pre-installed apps can be deleted, and might have to do it with TelenavGPS. I clicked the app, which popped up with a notification that said "An update is required". I tapped the "update now" button, which opened the browser which opened Play Store, but the Play Store says the app is up to date. Should I delete it and re-download from the Store, or just delete it and stick with the Google Maps/Google Navigation apps? Why does Sprint install this when Google's comes installed as well? Is it supposed to be better?
And the last thing I'm confused about at this point is when I'm in the app drawer and tap the Menu Button and then Edit. When I tap the minus sign next to an app, it pops up with "This application will be deleted" and a Yes and a No button, but it isn't clear (to me) whether it will get deleted from my phone or just deleted from the app drawer.
Thanks for any help or info anyone can give me about these things. I know they don't seem like major problems, but they niggle at me and I can't help but worry that I picked the wrong phone or have a faulty one (with regards to the bad notification light and random dimming and brightening at least) that I need to exchange while I'm in my return period.
Browser has its own brightness settings. Hit menu and scroll down. Its right there.
Yes the address bar will scroll out of the screen when you scroll down.
No idea about the beep. Notification led should work. May be some one stock can check on that.
Remove telenav. Use google maps.

LED used to work on gingerbread for me but never on ICS TOUCHWIZ, works on AOSP though. Since I'm in a touchwiz ROM I'm just using blink app to make it work.

I use the app light flow for my notifications and make it blink blue. The app blink also works.
Not sure about telenav, never had any issues. You have to be rooted to remove some stock apps like the Sprint and Samsung stuff and I highly recommend it.
Notification LED was broken in FF18 and FH13 OTA releases. It is now fixed in FI27 which will be available OTA soon, also available via Kies.

I'm sorry, I'm such a noob, what exactly is TOUCHWIZ? I've read bits about it being an interface or something, but other than that...

Still wondering about the charge complete notification beep.. do the phones beep or not beep when charged?

Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher/ui just like HTCs sense and motos blur. My phone has never beeped when it was charged, and download and install kies on your PC and see if fi27 is available. Or check the fi27 discussion thread in general sub forum

SMS Wake up

When I receive a SMS, the phone wakes up.
Having a hard time finding the setting to turn it off...any insight?
bump for this - I don't see why the screen needs to come on every time a sms message comes in. I haven't seen this happen with email(exchange), gmail, GTalk, etc... so annoying to waste battery for no reason with the LED indicator enabled.
I've looked and looked and don't really see anyone complaining about this, which I find really strange.

bump - seriously no one cares about this wasting battery for no reason?
No one has found an answer? Just got the AT&T version and I do about 20,000 texts a month, so this is very annoying and wastes battery, ESPECIALLY since it has a notification LED.
I got so tired of it, that I just switched over to handcent.

Just called Samsung and he searched and put me on hold for a while and came back saying there is no way to change this. He recommended downloading a 3rd party texting app or seeing if there is an app that will do this :/
here is a fix from the Sprint GS3

Just tried to flash, didn't see any changes in the Messages settings. Not the screen toggle or mms server issue

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
It was annoying me as well, the only fix I found without switching to another app is to go to Settings in the messaging app and make sure everything is unchecked under Notifications. If you do this, you will no longer see new text messages in the notification bar, but if you want you can use Nova launcher premium that has an add on called Tesla unread plug in (it adds a number to a messaging shortcut when new sms arrives).
Hope this helps.
