How good is social network integration 'updates' in Mango? - Windows Phone 7 General

If you have twitter/fb synced to people's hub, how often do they update? Can we manually set update intervals? And is the only way to be notified of twitter mentions and FB messages/wallposts/comments through a live tile? Because i dont know how much info can a 1x1 tile give. Or do you get sound or toast notifications too?
Can we also set WHAT do we want to be notified of? Eg can I set to NOT be notified of any comments and keep it just for wall posts?

It shows up as a backside to your Me tile
It doesn't give you the actual details of the comment or whatever, you have to click through to the notification to see the details
There is no sound or toast notification
The phone app doesn't specifically allow you to set what you get notifications for, but I wouldn't be surprised if just used whatever settings that are on your fb account

what about update interval

I couldnt see an update interval setting, but they seem pretty much instant.

i know that the facebook app will do most of these things. u can set the interval, and there is a sound for notifications and other things, as well as a live tile displaying how many of there there are unchecked..

Sometimes it's nearly instant, but other times it takes ~1 hour. No idea what triggers the updates.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
i'm trying Go Voice, but there's no functionality to listen to the message on the phone like there is with Android. i have my GVoice account set to send me a text msg when someone leaves me a message. limited yes, but works for me (for now).

I had no problems listening to messages on the phone. When you open the transcribed message, click the play icon just above the transcribed text.

yep... You're correct. Discovered this after playing around with options. Thanks for correcting my misstatement!
Try the GVoice app; I wrote it It has tile/toast push notifications too
1.0 is a bit rough, but I just submitted 1.1 to the market to clean up all the issues and add more features

Koush, I have a question. Does your app support push notifications via WiFi only? For instance, I live in an area with no cell reception, and I'm forced to use wifi only. Will this app give me push notifications with just wifi on?
I'm using GoVoice and have been quite happy with it. Updates with feature improvements seem to be coming through on a regular basis. I just setup background notifications to the live tile and I am testing it out.
im surprised this is all the input on this thread
Well, Android phones by far have the best google voice app (obviously) I been using GoVoice and it seems to be working ok. Its a pain in the ass though, the fact that WIndows 7 cant multitask means that you have to start up GoVoice every single time it for me it just takes too long. The notifications are nice though, when you get a text message you'll see the notification at the top like you normally would with a regular text message.

same issue here.
alright.
after digging around the developers website i found the right instructions for getting the push notifications and live tile to work.
sucks that it doesnt make the directions too clear on the app and elsewhere...
http://blog.taotaotech.com/setting-up-push-notifications/
so yea... even though you will have your gvoice set up to send u an email for new voicemails, the gvmax end will cancel those out so you wont receive those annoying emails...
live tile works for me now.
Is there a way to get voicemain notifications similar to other ones (like SMS)? Won't do it for me.
EDIT: NVM it works. Just didn't get one the first time.
Is there a way to get the update notification to go away? My GF's HD7 has the update number on the live tile, but when we update it, it keeps saying it needs to update.
which live tile is it for?

The marketplace app never shows it update.

are you referring to the number that appears next to the icon (to indicate number of updates)? if so, have you tried just restarting the phone. i think it's all related to the known bug with the market place at present which causes the market place to crash every now and then.
nah, restarts dont fix it. Still wants to update even though its been updated countless times.

[Q] Facebook 1.50 push notification

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.

It's not for pokes, just poked myself from my other FB account and got no notification

Does not get any notification at all. Only when someone try to chat.
Then I get notification in statusbar

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

How well does the Me Tile work for you?

when u get a notification on FB how long before the Tile informs you?
Well for me I dont get informed 99% of the times. Even in notifications hub the last notifications are hours old and it only get refreshed when i open the hub otherwise there is rarely any background updating. I have seen the tile show something maybe 5-6 times in 1 month now. what gives?
P.S I have add/removed the tile and restarted the phone.
It has worked pretty well for me. The other day it had stopped working but now its been fine...
I've got the Facebook app pinned to my start screen and when that notifies me I gnerally get a Me tile notification as well
I put me tile into my family contact group and use it exclusively to be able to retrieve my sent e-mail items faster. No problems with tile notifications though.
I see sporadic updates, but even when it does update, it doesn't really tell me much, other than the fact that I have something I need to go look for. Not really a "glance and go" tile at all for me.
For example, the last update I saw was (name changed) "John Smith and 3 other people commented on..." So I knew I needed to bring up the Facebook app. But I already knew that from looking at the notification badge on the Facebook app tile.

Well you dont need to bring up the app.. you can just go into the me tile and swipe to notifications. will bring up posts, tagged photos etc...
Since mango i've found i very rarely use the FB app any more.
I never use it. I just go to the social hub and see what's new.
Updates about every half an hour for me.
For Facebook, it's slower than email notifications, which usually comes almost instantaneously. But it's still useful in the sense that I can see what everybody is saying in the comment first before adding my own. It's better than going to IE9.
For twitter, it's really useful for alerting me about mentions. Since Twitter's email notifications rarely work anyway. Plus, there isn't a WP7 app that gives tile/toast notifications faster than the Me Tile, so I'll just be happy with my Me Tile.
I just have it there for the animation. It updates too slow to be useful for that. Its useful for checking in quickly, though. Facebook app notifications are way superior but I guess it can b useful for Twitter.
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
I actually prefer it to the Facebook App. Works fine for Facebook notifications which come as they arrive, bit slow for Twitter notifications though.
The Me tile works pretty good, maybe updating every 30 minutes or so. The strange thing is that when synced with my Facebook account it would only show me notifications that were directly related to me (my posts, ppl comment on my posts or pics), but now it is showing other people. Anyone know how this works?
Me tile's notifications work, but bages on facebook tile don't :/

And you missed the point. Whether it's the Facebook app or the people hub, the issue is the same. The tile doesn't give me useful information, just an alert that I have to go somewhere ELSE to get what I need. A badge would do the exact same thing.
so why is it that when I go into the me hub it refreshes and shows me updates that happened 2-3 hours ago :S why doesnt it get refreshed automatically and show it on the tile. it's pissing me off. this is a big reason why I got WP7 (social integration)

I almost never require immediate notications so the ME tile works just fine for me.

Can you check if battery saver is turned on? I believe that push notifications stop if battery saver is on....only manual trigger refreshes notifications.

[Q] Specified time for email notifications?

So I am trying to find a way to get my email notifications to turn on and off at specified times. The reason is this. I have my work exchange email account on my Galaxy Nexus. When I am at work, I'm usually at my computer and thus can see all my email. Therefore I have my email notification turned off on my phone since I don't want to constantly clear notifications. But when I leave work, I'd like to have my email notification turned on so that I can be notified when I get a new email.
Is there anyway I can get the email notifications to be turned on and off at specified times in the day?
You can get one of the many apps to turn on/off notifications for times. Most of them are branded as "quiet hours" type apps for sleeping, but you could surely configure for different times during the day.
Tasker or Locale could surely do this too if you want it based on where you are to turn off notifications (i.e. turn off notifications at work, then enable when you leave).

I have considered that, but the problem is that I do not need to turn off all notifications. I just need to turn off the notifications for Android's stock email app. I still want to keep the rest of my notifications.
Bump
Anybody got an idea?
Search for the Road Sync on the market.
i know touchdown does exactly what you're talking about, you could always try like k9 mail or some other email app.
i'm not sure stock has this as ive never used it for corp email. there are a couple features i needed to have that touchdown does have

Question Notification question

Is there a way to turn on the screen upon receiving a notification?
Been look8ng everywhere to no avail.
My phone blips but screen remains off: need to raise it to turn it on.
thx
Enabling Always On Display will show you icons for pending notifications that you can glance over without touching or picking your phone
AON display is enabled but only when I tap: are you sayng that I shlioud enable AON on "ALWAYS"?
On my Xiaomi and Pixel even if AON is off, when I receive notifications the screen turns on...

I have the notifications set to show the edge color and the fireworks behind the notification preview. Is that what you mean, or do you want the entire screen on? (I have AOD always on, too. I don't wear a watch, so that's my clock and calendar, plus the notification list and what song is playing if I'm listening to music.)

I would like AOD off and screen turning on when receiving a notification: could nkt find a way.
So at the moment I have your same setup but... not all notifications get the edge color, some like emails do not. Seems that only notifications grouped under conversations do, but I find no way to change that.

I have mine set to match the color of the app, so like Instagram DMs are magenta and my different e-mail accounts match the color I've selected for them in the e-mail app (I use Aqua Mail Pro for personal and business e-mail acc'ts and also the Gmail app for my Gmail acc't, and Yahoo! app for that but I don't have notifications on for that one since it's my shopping/newsletter/Spam acc't). I also have a few keywords set up for certain contacts when they text, but I honestly haven't even noticed if that works 'cause I forgot all about it until I saw it when I was looking at the settings for you.

The Pro is just the paid unlocker app; the actual Aqua Mail app was updated just the other day (got a pop-up change log when I opened it recently). It is way cheaper to buy the Pro unlocker app one time than to subscribe yearly via the actual Aqua Mail app (there is no difference between the two; I asked them, and they are very responsive to customer e-mails). I had been using K-9 Mail, which hasn't been updated in years, and Aqua is way better. I especially like that I can use different fonts and colors in the e-mail and signature, and include my logo/any other image in my signature. The double-sided layout works well on the Fold 3 inner screen, too.
