Hi, im based in the UK and whenever i receive a message from a company such as Orange, or from companies who dont send with a number, the SMS appears as if it is from one of my facebook contacts (i have my phone synced with facebook)
If i select 'view message details' when reading the SMS, it says 'From: Orange' so it clearly isnt from my facebook contact that the sms application seems to think its from.
Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
thanks in advance
Same problem on T-Mobile UK, would love to kno how to fix it.
It's fixed in the later ROMS.
Paul's R3 and those based on it.
ok, is it likely to be in the OTA update supposedly being sent out sometime in the next 12 years?
it will most likely be solved in froyo or in an update before that
I had the problem with my original orange rom, now running pays and no problem.

It has already been fixed in the OTA update which Vodafone rolled out last week. Orange are supposedly putting theirs out this week. Don't know about T-Mobile, but I'd imagine they'll have one out soon too.
edit: 2nd of June for Orange, apparently. Comes from their customer service people.

will i still get this update if ive flashed to a generic rom (unfortunately not the one with the fix!) and away from the stock orange rom?
I honestly couldn't say for sure.
Best to ask the vodafone users who updated last week. At a guess, I'd say your phone won't give you the option to update, and you may have to do it manually.
This happens to me because one of my FB friends has a text entry in the mobile number field, the git won't change it either lol.

I would like to know this also. Are OTA updates distributed based on vendor IDs or ROM versions or something else entirely?

Yes! i had this problem too! but i know the cause. It' because your facebook contact put something other than a phone number in his/her info under the phone number box (a silly message in words), the phone reads these as unknown numbers hence any unknown number will be matched with this contact
Im getting this "texts from networks appearing as sent from facebook contacts" problem, im on vodafone uk and havent recieved any ota updates at all since i got the phone 2 months ago?

If you're on the stock rom 1.15.405, you can do a manual upgrade to 1.21.405.2 and see if that fixes the problem. It's a genuine HTC firmware, but I don't think it's been officially released yet... anyway, if you search the Desire development forums you'll find it.
I actually don't know if it fixes the Facebook problem (since I don't have a Facebook account), best to ask in the thread... it will wipe your data though, so make sure to back everything up using MyBackUp Pro (there's a free 30 day trial available).
im currently on 1.15.405.4
with firmware 2.1-update1
when you say do a manual update do you mean reflash my desire again as thats really not something i can be bothered doing just for this annoying issue (especially if there is some OTA update apparantly imminent anyway)

The current Facebook doesn't support syncing yet regarding Android ICS 4.0 and later.
You will have to wait 'till FB developes a new app or check one of the ROMS out there, somebody (maybe it was for SGS1 ICS) has made it so that syncing works in ICS, but that's modding and not officially through FB.
Notifications work fine, it is only contact sync that doesn't work 'out the box'
works fine with custom rom
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

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!

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?
Trying to read thru the threads, and I am seeing some mentions of some issues. I have a completely stock Verizon GNex that was running stock ICS. After I installed JB, my phone has really declined in usability. Here are the issues I now have...
- Corp email on native email client not staying in sync like it did before. My company requires a certificate, so I had to reinstall, but since then, I am constantly getting a yellow bar across the top that says it cannot reach server. Usuallybreboot gets it back. I want oush mail to work so I get my mail without the sync activated for my other web mail accounts.
- My signal which seemed tp always be on 4g in my area is now showing only 3g a lot more often
-My facebook widget keeps going blank and I have to remove it from home screen andvthe drop it bavk onto the screen to get it to start showing updates again
What happened to my GNex. The update went without a hitch. I got the notification and it has been notjing but stock updates from day 1.
Anyone else seeing these issues. Should Ido a factory reset and try to get all my apps and email accounts reconfigured? Is there any easy way to back up my phone?
Thoughts?

A factory reset is always a good idea after a version upgrade otherwise its somewhat like flashing a new build without wiping. You usually always have bugs this way.

So before the latest update of Facebook, when i press wallpost at my friend's birthday in S Planner, it sends directly to my friend's profile, but after the latest update of Facebook 2.0, when i press wallpost, it shows my news feeds not my friend's profile.

Yup, I also notice this problem also. Maybe because the newest facebook apps doesnt compatible with the newest apps.
I hope there's new OTA to fixed this
K at least the problem isnt only mine, and yeah i will keep using this version of facebook till fix happens or something.
