Hi
I've linked all my phone contacts to their Facebook account.
There status updates work fine but I can never get my phone to update their profile picture if they change this.
Does anybody else have this problem?
The only way I've found to fix it is to remove the facebook link from all contacts them re-add, but this is a pain in the arse!
Anybody having the same problems?
Im not sure about for anyone elses in my contacts, but my pic doesn't seem to update automatically. I just switch phone off and back on and that does it.

Wondering this too. Because right now it kinda sucks having the same pic all the time.
got my sgs today setup everything perfect but Facebook isnt able to log int in the accounts and sync therefor no contact from fb or events in my calendar can anyone advice. Thanks.
Hi there! I had the same problem and the solution i used was to log on using a different network (I know it sounds stupid, but it works). So if you're using you mobile data connection, connect to a wifi connection instead, or if you're already on wifi then connect to another wifi access point. Then try logging in again, it should all work.

ok but what's the logic in it?? i dont get it.
Solution doesnt work on mine with Gingerbread.
With Froyo all was ok.
After updating to gingerbread, facebook stopped to sync. Everything else is working fine (facebook app, launcher pro fb widget). Tryed to flash back to JS8 but still got the same error message: login failed, try again.
Tryed also disable platfom applications from facebook, but this did not work.
would higly appreciate if some on could find a solution for this problem. Right now i am back to gingerbread.
Ive reflashed many times with quite a few ROMs, both 2.2 and 2.3 and no luck. And on top of that Ive messed up my cameras firmware. ..

Btw, contacts were syncing with FB but not calendar. ..

Maybe it's something to do with Facebook itself; I'm having the same problem and changing network connection has no effect.
Same problem with the latest official 2.3 fireware. Apps like flow work fine.

As for the Facebook issue. .. Coincidence that it happened when 2.3 arrived in Kies?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Edit: full fb sync works. Looks like it wasnt a 2.3 issue.
Sam problem here after updating to 2.3.3 .. On froyo it all worked flawless but now can't get it to work, and it annoys me a lot because I like to see my facebook calendar in my phone's calendar it was really handy..
i moved to 2.3.4 and last few days i am having fb sync issue. today fb sync stopped again. i entered pass many times but each time error. after that settings > accounts and removed fb then add again, somehow it worked. strange...
Hey guys,
I have SGS2, and I wonder if there is some application that will show me notification when I receive sms on my computer, and I should be able to reply to it from computer too ? I tried "Remote Notifier for Android" from market, and at first glance it looks really nice, but sms notifications doesnt work, and I cant reply to sms via computer aswell. Is there some other app which can do this ?
NOTE: I dont want web-service based apps, that require me to have service started on my phone and to connect through browser from my computer, I want standalone app that communicates with phone through wireless, just like Remote Notifier.
try MightyText.
not sure if it is out of beta yet but it does works. you just need to log in to your gmail account.

Both of this apps require me to stay logged in browser in order to see notification when I receive sms

True. I guess it is because of the fact you can't 'push' that data to a pc. I believe there's an app needed (like the plugin for the MightyText app) to 'convert' that data to make it 'recognizable' (the data between pc and phone).
Notifications can't be pushed. Only the data itself.
So i believe, what you are looking for, doesn't exist (yet).
Can someone confirm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i think yes, it does not exist yet. but many people satisfied with how MightyText works if you follow from the first Beta release. i think many people actually find this type is already convenient so far, instead of how you asked. maybe not yet. you can try PM the dev and state your suggestion/opinion maybe.
Remote Notifier for Android does the exact thing I need, except its stopped developing and some features dont work. I searched yesterday alot to find some similar app, but no success.
@LuffyPSP
I already discussed with one of colleagues, and will start developing it in next few days.
I think MyPhoneExplorer might be able to do what you ask. You might wanna give it a try!
Maybe it can, but MPE requries phone to be connected with USB
I was wondering if anyone who is running Synergy RLS1 ROM has working Facebook Push Notifications? If so could you help me in getting them to work? I have never had push notifications working on my phone and would like to pin point why it works on some EVO's and not others.
Edit: After doing some research on Google I stumbled upon this page that explains that having "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" in your app list on Facebook your push notifications will work. So I found someone who still uses a Blackberry (wasnt easy) and all I had to do was log into my Facebook on their phone and enable notifications and wait for my news feed to load. Then I just logged out. Went on my computer and sure enough the "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" appeared in my App list under account settings. Then on my EVO I just cleared the Facebook app data and logged in again and sure enough my Push Notifications were working. I have cleared the data before and it never worked so I dont know why having the Blackberry thing makes it work but it has for me. No more flooding my gmail inbox with Facebook crap... Please feel free to try this and post if it works for you.
The Facebook for Android app just sucks. I don't think anyone has done anything specific to get push notifications to work on their phone - some do, some don't.
You can set up push notifications through Friendcaster using your Gmail or something. I haven't actually done it because I don't use Facebook very often, but I know that the option is there. You can try that out.

I can tell this, it wasn't working when I was on stock froyo, not working still with what I have now. I don't think the FB devs are able to test it on all phones and roms, but then again, I don't think they pay much attention to bug reports. I must have sent them one report everytime they update that notifications are broken.
Friendcaster's a neat replacement, though.

Hi all, How are you?
I have a Galaxy Nexus with Android stock 4.1.1 JR003C and Facebook app 1.9.8.
I am experiencing a weird issue with latest fb app update, May someone help me please?
I have turned on all notifications on my fb account and on the app settings, but I still don`t get any notifications at all.
I mean, I have push notifications enabled on fb app and also in my fb account. However, I don`t receive any notifications on my cell phone.
I have tried clean the fb app cache/data and also re-install it. However, It didn`t fix this issue.
Please, does someone know what can be this issue root cause?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Make sure allow notifications is ticked in the Android App Options or use G+ or the browser

just wanted to chime in that im not receiving notifications even though ive made sure all the proper options are checked.
running mROm.
Facebook notifications on Android 4.x are VERY buggy. Try a Google search on the matter. For some people it works, for others it has never worked. Despite all settings are OK. I fixed mine by lending a Blackberry device from someone and logged into Facebook using the BB Facebook app for that one time. The theory is that allowing the BB app access to your FB account somehow fixes notifications for Android as well. This workaround has proved to fix it for many people myself included. Worth a shot imho.
The only way mine work was to activated bb on facebook. Hello facebook android is not a bb!

Hi all,
thanks a lot for helping
I was wondering, besides the blackberry workaround, is the another workaround for this issue?
I don't know anyone with a blackberry
Is there a kind of blackberry emulator for developers that I can use?
Btw, all notifications settings on Facebook website and on Facebook Android app are correct. Fb app notifications have stopped to work on my cell phone after the latest fb app update...
Google plus looks like good choice, but nobody uses it.
Access fb website on cell phone doesn't give me push notifications.
Thanks in advance,
Roger
I have just found out the link below,I am going to try it and post the results:

I did blackberry emulator work great
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Guys, same thing here! Notifications not working! Galaxy Note, using AOKP 4.0.4 ROM.
In fact, I had this problem in the past, but I solved it using exactly this BlackBerry method. Now it's not working again! I even did this BlackBerry login thing using emulator again, but still without notifications here. As my birthday was on August 27, I thought that, maybe, due to lots of notifications about "happy birthday", Facebook stopped on purpose all those notifications, but now I'm noticing it's in fact a bug!
Please, Roger, tell us if it will work to you! As I said, I tried this again and now it's not working!
And I really don't know when Facebook will made decent apps for Android. Probably Mark Z. is an stupid Crapple fan boy!

Try wiping cache + data of the Facebook app.

Did this tomorrow before going to sleep, after doing one more time BlackBerry trick. A few hours ago, when I woke up I noticed a Facebook notification, about a comment in a picture I was tagged. I became happy, because I thought the issue was solved, but I had more notifications after that and it's not working again.
Hi all,
I tried the blackberry workaround, and It didn't work for me.
Please, does someone know another workaround for this issue?
Btw,I tried Facebook app on my ipod touch, and it seems that notifications works on IOS...
Thanks in advance,
Roger
I have also tried wiping Facebook app cache, and also reinstalling the app itself.
Unfortunately, neither worked.
does this notifications issue only affects galaxy nexus?

No, it's an issue of the Android Facebook app. It's supposed to get a major overhaul that will be released in the next few weeks, just like iOS. Let's hope that will fix a lot of issues including buggy notifications.

Google have blocked fb contact sync only for nexus series since Android 2.3, right?
I was wondering if this fb notification issue is another block from Google?
It's not.

let me clarify it for you. Google had blocked Facebook syncing on android because of privacy issue. Facebook notification doesn't have any issues with privacy, so that's why Google only blocked contact syncing
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I think my notifications are back here, although just some of them are being notified here.
Using Galaxy Note, AOKP 4.0.4 and latest Facebook app.

thanks for clarifying
I am aware about this privacy disagreement between Google and Facebook (I am very concerned about my privacy on internet), but the majority of the users don't care about it. Besides, I think that blocking fb sync is stupid decision as it is very unlikely that fb will do something about it...
I hope that Android will lose market share to Apple with new IOS with fb integration, thus Google might realize that it was a bad decision, and hopefully will stop to force users to use Google plus (it is good,but nobody uses it).
Btw, I have just received an update for fb app(1.9.9) and it didn't fix the notifications issue. Did it fix this issue for someone?
