Has anyone used the new app yet? It seems like they polished up a few things but the push notifications still don't work for me and I've enabled them in my account settings. Seems like this has the same problem that people were having with the Facebook app.

One thing which has been bugging me is the I never get notifications from my phone (in the notification bar of phone) when I get notifications in the facebook app. My phone doesnt buzz, make a sound nothing. Is this just with me or is there something wrong?? in the app settings I enable all sorts lf notification vibratin etc but It never works. My freind has a HTC Desire and his phone notifies him! Is there a solution?

add your FB to accounts and sync. You can do this either from Settings>accounts and sync> add account or from the app itself.
Cheers.

Hello,
The first week I got my GN, Facebook notifications were working like a charm.
Lately they stopped working completly. Both Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
Is there a real push alternative rather than the intrigrated one? They always seem to fail somehow?

It's Facebook's fault, their apps suck.
Logout from the App and log back in and adjust your settings again. Sometimes that fixes it.
Tried logging in and out with no luck
Is anyone else experiensing the same problem?

I'm getting notifications just fine if you go into the app settings you can set notifications within facebook rather than on the phone. alternatively you can sign up for mobile alerts or email notifications on facebook website from your account settings .

Well, I dont like email spamming from Facebook. Thats why I turned them off.
I've set notifications ON only in the app itself. Never seen such settings on the phone.

Lol there aren't any on the phone I just wasn't sure if you thought there were. alternatively you can set up a new gmail account dedicated to your facebook and have notifications pushed there. Personally I just set a filter in my main gmail account 4 anything with the word facebook in the email address to go to a custom facebook label. I like to have access to those notifications in the event that comments are deleted or I need to refer to something. Although this means every time I get a facebook notification it's immediately followed by an email notification.

I've solved that by installing facebook messenger, works like it should within couple secs after a message is posted.
is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.
Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?
Blackberry allows for a combined mailbox for push email (not just gmail), text messages, twitter notifications, facebook messages, etc. I cannot find a solid replacement for Android.
just wondering if theres any app or mod anyone knows that can do this?
Only separate apps available for each function:
Facebook for Facebook
Email app for email accounts
Messaging for SMS... etc

Also if you need group text messaging to BlackBerry and Apple devices, may I suggest Handcent SMS. You'll have to set it as your primary MMS application.

Developers are getting closer, but it's still not quite there yet. Try Streamlife in the play store. It's a work in progress, but a great app to follow for what you're looking for.

Honestly this is the ONLY good thing I can say about BlackBerry and I wish it was implemented that well in Android. From browsing through the settings, it looks like Go SMS Pro *may* have the capability. I'm kind of assuming they will make you sign up for all their services though...

I've been using Facebook Messenger for SMS for a while... then all of the sudden it's stopped working.. maybe cause I installed Paranoid Android, but are you guys having this issue?
Ok, so ever since kit kat update, the stock email app has become completely useless. The drag and drop feature has been removed and now I cannot delete not move my emails.
My question is what alternatives are worth looking into. I'm dabbling with Aquamail, but it is so focused on multiple accounts that it's features are driving me crazy. Is there anything out there that can match the old stock email app or should I give up on managing my email on my tablet?

Thanks. I've used K-9 in the past. I hadn't heard many good comments when I checked last. Have they made some improvements? Can you finally change the messed up notification settings?

I'm not sure what you mean by messed up notification settings, but k9 provides the standard notification options. I get sound, vibration and led notifications without problems.

Woops, I never got notified of this post. My issue with the notification settings was that K9 would never do bulk notifications, only notifications for each and every single email, which drove me nuts.
Gahhhh, if only Google hadn't ruined the email app...
