I have recently switched from AOSP back to a Sense rom and I'm loving it once again, however I have what I can only describe as a dumb question. I cannot seem to figure out how to turn off the facebook notifications within Friendstream. Every time someone posts on my wall I get a text message, and its driving me nuts. I want to turn this off and have looked everywhere I can think of to no avail. I still want to get the status updates, but in the friendstream widget, not via text. Anyone know how to do this. Otherwise I'm going to have to use regular facebook, and hope it doesn't do the same.
you have to log into facebook on a pc to turn off text messages notifications. its under account settings then notifications on the left then you have to edit each individual setting under all notifications.
Well I guess thats why I couldn't find a setting for it on the phone. Thanks for the reply, I would have never found that.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.
Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?
Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.
I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps
I've just lost track of the threads where they were resolved.
1) LED notifications (for anything) only lasting 5 minutes or so. I want my LED to keep flashing until i unlock the phone and clear the alert/notification. Thats how it was on my G1 on 1.6 and it was great. I'm certain i saw an app that could fix it somewhere, but i cant find the thread, and no searching for relevant seeming names brings anything up.
2) A bunch of unknown texts/network texts/various other oddities all being attributed to a random facebook/phonebook contact. I saw there was at least a partial solution for this somewhere, but once again, lost the thread
Thanks for any help you can give, really appreciate it.
1) Missed Reminder app does the trick.
I use missed call from the market for the alerts.
I think your sms issue is to do with facebook synching contacts that have odd phone numbers, or text where there should be a phone number. if I remember correctly you need to either delete those facebook friends, or stop the facebook contacts sync.
So ive seen handcent all over the fourm and people talking about how great it is. So i downloaded it and i admit its amazing. The only problem ive run into is that when i get a message is shows up in handcent and the stock text program. How do i disable that so my phone only uses handcent?
In the stock messaging app, you need to go into settings (when it's open hit "menu" and then "settings") and turn off the notifications for receiving a message. Back out of it, and you should be good-to-go. I personally turned off all notifications in the stock app.

Much appreciated I though that there might be a way to totally disable the stock program because they will still pile up in there wont they?
Yea, the messages will still be in the stock one. The way I understand it though, all the messages come into/out of a single spot. The messaging programs (Handcent, the stock one, etc.) just look in that area to let you text. So you can just remove the stock one from being linked on one of your home pages, and then you never have to see it again. There might be a way to remove that program itself, but I don't know it. It doesn't bother me though since I just don't ever open it and instead use Handcent.
You could always uninstall it via adb if you are rooted. Search "how to remove bloatware (or unwanted apps)" or some variant.

Just don't delete it! LOL! Trust me! That and don't delete Facebook out off the phone either. Those were BIIIIIGGGG mistakes. LOL! I won't ever do that again. Good thing I do nandroid back ups before I try experimenting with removing stuff.
Anyone having touble with Hancent opening since 2.2? I have at least a 30 second lag when I launch, almost like a memory full issue.
I have the stock notifications off and am not rooted.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
jfk
freeze it thru titanium backup like i did! u can defrost it any time!
I've tried Handcent a few times and it seems OK but has a fatal flaw. My wife and I use txt-to-email and back. She send my a txt on vtxt.com and I reply through my SMS service straight to her email address which pops up on her Blackberry. Handcent won't sent messages to email addresses.
Hi
On Facebook for Android facebook page they announced push notification.
Some of the comments says it works on Desire, and some dont.
I cant see any push notification on my Desire. (Modaco Rom v9)
Can someone confirm that it works or not?
May be being stupid, but where should we see it, any ideas?
apart from chat, I can't see any differences.
Same here. Just chat. And can choose between notification 30 min, 1 hr ..... and never.. No option for push

And btw about chat: I personally never use it, but since this update I noticed, that it goes "online" to "offline" every couple seconds, when im on facebook on my PC. Facebook 1.5, no thanks.
Does that online without the update, FB chat is a waste of time
Running 1.5 and it's fine so may as well update
i always have my chat on web set to offline - I hope this one doesnt keep making me online...
perhaps they'll be a 1.5.1 soon to fix the missing push
Push is chat only, apparently (cause of needing to know when someone replies). Rest is still as before
i get notifications in the notification bar for comments, not sure on likes yet, this is a new feature, once clicked it sends you to the notifications tray in the Facebook app, next time i get one i'll post a screenshot

i beg to differ. Messages, pokes, etc, all are instant now. unlike before where you had to wait half a day to get a message lol.
I did say 'apparently'
I've never has a notification for a poke, only for messages/friend requests
Can't say I've noticed them coming in as soon as the email does but I'll keep an eye out. I was just going on what others have said on other forums
How is your notification settings? 30 min... 1hr??? or on Never? I don't have the "push" option. Do you?
No cause you don't get that option. Push just means that as soon as you get a message/friend request FB will push the notification to your phone. Otherwise it'll continue to sync at its selected time, e.g. Every hour
Tested it.
Still no notification at all.
Startet Facebook, and pressed the home button. But no notification. And I can see on web browser thare are people have comment on my posts.

Do you not have it set to notify? I get messages/friend requests but I turned off event invites as I get too many...I get an email and a notification when either arrive

Pokes definitely not working on my phone, and there's no notification option for pokes. Only Messages, friend requests and event invites so you can't get any more unless you have the option to activiate them

Keep it clean, im sure kids read these forums
On One UI 3.0, I got my notification pop-up style on Detailed.
When I receive a message on whatsapp or some other messaging app, while the phone is unlocked, as you would expect the notification scrolls down from above and I can see the message.
When I receive a message in Facebook messenger, while the phone is unlocked, it never works. I just get the messenger icon in the status bar but no pop-up. Even before the update pop-up for messenger never worked.
Has anyone any idea how to fix this?
On the other hand while using AoD during the day and the phone is locked, I can see the messages as notifications on the lock screen.
I haven't tried the brief pop up option yet but I suspect, still no pop up notification will show up. Not sure what's up.
Hi dude, the same for me !!!

I found the solution so do this:
Settings>Apps>Messenger>Notifications>Tap on Chat and Calls> Enable "Show as pop-up".
That fixed it for me, repeat the same for the previous items on the notifications settings list.
let me know if it got fixed.
Fix for me to, I've also reset my phone (only settings).
Now I've ugly little bublle from messenger.
Go to Notifications settings for Messenger again and disable "show us bubbles" for All

It's easy to fix in the app settings, so don't get upset before you know it. Turn them off and on again, then they will work correctly. I think you might be having this problem because your page is being monitored by someone who has plans for your page for their own purposes. In order for you to be sure your page is safe, you can check https://myhow.org/how-to/track-who-views-your-facebook-profile to see who is causing possible problems in your account and in your app. It helped me a lot to avoid scammers
