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

To get push notifications? Like from games such as word with friends or others like it?

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?

I haven't seen a thread for this yet so this is for those of you who haven't seen the update. It is now FB 1.4.0 it finally adds places and groups still no FB chat =( but at least they are finally working on getting the android FB app better haha.

I downloaded it, and it still doesn't compare to the iPhone's Facebook app, but I guess its a step in the right direction

FB Places and Groups are junks. they take spaces on the screen for absolutely no use because I dont even care to use those feautes. Wish i can disable them and make them disappear for good.
can you guys tell me what size your facebook apk is on your phone? Mine is ringing in at a whopping 1,29GB with 1.08MB (before the update) as the Application and 1.29GB listed as data. Clearing data does nothing for the size. Just seems way out of whack IMO.

This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect. I switched to a 3rd party e-mail app. It never fails me. I am using Kaiten but its a paid app. Try K9 on the Market. You can make it black themed and it works well for many.

I had this prob few days back, I turned syncing off, then back on. I then reboot the phone and bam! It started working again.
P.S. Under Applications>All. I also cleared data/cache.

Settings->Accounts and Sync. On apps, select All, and choose Gmail, clear cache and data on that one.

I have lost some faith in G-Mail. I don't understand why I can get a 3rd party app like K9, add my G-Mail account to that, and people receive the e-mails faster than using G-Mail itself. If someone can explain why this is, I would appreciate it.

I think it depends on many factors, we all have different apps, different roms, kernels, and also different qualiies of reception.

Can you be a bit more clear? I'm understanding bits and pieces... what I explained over clearing the cache was your answer to your question previous to your last post.

Because they know when you have over 500 million people that no matter how bad your app is they will still come back to the site.
I have stopped using the app. It drives me crazy. I use friendcaster and website. The app is so slugish and acts stupid around 99% of the time.

Faster facebook. Goggle it on the play store
Lol I don't like Facebook enough to get a dedicated app for it. From what I have seen though, their mobile site is really poorly designed like they are trying to force you to use one their app. I assume Friendcaster is much better than the official app.
Don't forget that the latest update also added FB camera and FB messenger apps. At least mine did. Now I have 3 FB apps. WEAK.

Yeah they changes the name on the market. I believe it is called "fast for android"
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Yeah, I've deleted the Fb app too--don't like the increasing bloat and I'm really annoyed by the their spammed camera and messaging apps. Tried Fast for Facebook, and as much as I'd like to support their xda-friendly devs, it doesn't seem to update all that well or display photos and such.
OTOH, the mobile web app, it seems to do what I need without bloating up my phone. For a light Fb users, it does the job.
Yep... Agreed. I absolutely hate the facebook app.

That was the last straw for me, uninstalled it. They've removed the extra launcher icons now, but the app is still terrible.
A lot of times it will turn on my GPS when I enter the app, and never let go of it.
It's terrible cause it's Facebook. I hope my boss doesn't read this

1) Doesn't happen to me. Not a universal issue.
2) Chill out.
oh, and no one is forcing you to use the Facebook app.
Here's some cheese to go with that whine:
Fast for Facebook: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com
Friendcaster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree
1. Change your kernel governor to Interactive or Conservative.
2. Use Friendcaster. Its way better anyway.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
or you can just use the facebook mobile site thru the browser.
I used friend caster way before and I didn't like it but I been hearing a lot good things about it so I ma try it out. It looks neat will see how notifications behave. Facebook app sucks on Android or iPhone idk why can't they make it right

This is a known bug. It happens on my phone every time.
- Install facebook app
- login
- exit the app
- run the app again
If you install eg. "OSMonitor" you'll see the facebook process is consuming a lot of CPU in the background.
Given their track record, they'll probably fix it in a few years.
I have another issue with Facebook. For some reason every time I try to share something it comes in some foreign language. Coincidentally started after installing flip board. I have uninstalled flipboard and also reinstalled Facebook but no resolution. Please help.

Turn off Facebook sync? works for me. My battery life is beyond awesome.
m.facebook.com bro
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
the only function I'm really interested in (contacts sync) doesn't even work with the official facebook app.
Facebook sucks up battery and network for me, in crazy ways.
If I login to facebook and leave it running, I get zero notifications, loading anything (even over 4G or wifi) takes forever, and it somehow managed to suck up 2 gigs of data in a 72 hour period (as well as using 38% of my battery?!?). Anyone have any idea why/how THAT happened?
It's an easy fix though: uninstall app, use m.facebook.com

Requires you to login using your Facebook account. Sounds like a great app, but the Facebook requirement is dumb. I'll wait until there are alternate methods to login.

likewise bc i dont use facebook..no account
Sounds cool.
Maybe I can get it set to text my wife every hour the way she likes, take a picture every 15 min (clip sits with camera facing out) and post every 5th one to facebook. Pickup audio and post it to twitter every so often and I'll never have to touch my phone again.
Calls from the boss go to straight to voicemail
Only login with FB account. That's fail.
You can only use it with a Facebook account, and even then you can only set events on a computer, not on the phone. Tasker and llama are much more functional versions of the same thing.

Yah, as others pointed out, a FB only login = FAIL.
At least IMO, as I dont even have a FB account, and I sure as heck dont plan on having one just to use this app..
Hey wait, I wasn't sure. Can you only log in with Facebook? No one has said anything about that.
HA! Well played sir
