Heya
Please help me, I don't get the clue!
First Problem:
From one day to another my facebook messenger notification doesn't work anymore. A few days ago, one reflashing to cm 7.2 RC 1 between, I had the same problem. Not sure but I think i saw a hint in the forums like "just disable and enable the notification in die messenger options". At this point it worked the first time for me (AND I was running supercharger script and JuiceDefender - I really have no idea which settings or apps can conflict with the messenger as well?). Now I have the same problem. Notifications are enabled but won't show up.
I would be overjoyed if someone can help me!
Please let me know if I forgot any informations!
I don't rly like to use friendcaster (free) because of the adverts. Never tried it though. Maybe they are not annoying/everywhere? I read that the notifications work fine with this app. Are there any compareable alternatives?
Second Problem:
The official XDA app is FCing very often. Even when I try to bookmark/favourite a forum!? I think this probably no common problem isn't it?
Thanks a lot guys!!!

Facebook notifications don't work for many people apparently, me n the missus included. I don't use it anymore but she is on it 24/7, i found a separate App for her which pushes notifications and i think you can set it to open the facebook App when you touch the notification. I'll see if I can find it again.
Search the market for an App called adfree, that should stop the adverts in most free apps.
Try reinstalling the xda App again it almost works flawless for me.

adfree is installed already, so I try friendcaster!
reinstalling the xda app was the first intention i had, didnt worked.
The App my girlfriend uses with the facebook App is called Slk notifications for facebook.
You probably won't get notifications when the screen is off using juice defender as it cuts your connection, you should know that already tho so just ignore this comment.

the same problem I have on facebook messenger app..
I dont get msges as notification.. all the time, I should check the app if i got any msges.. and I really cannot understand what the problem is.. It happens to me for couple of months.. somedays works, somedays not.. I think, its not about the app, its about my phone.. but sometimes, even I dont change anything on my phone, it stop working
and 2 days ago, I installed new facebook app with facebook messenger.. first hours, it was okay.. I could get msges as notification, then it stopped also.. then I installed facebook messenger again, and that wasnt work either..
a month ago, I read a strange thing about that issue.. to solve that problem, seperate the battery from device, wait about some minutes, and put the battery to device again, and run it.. It worked for me for a while.. but now, It doesnt work either..

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?

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...
yesterday i got the little F icon in my task bar telling me i lost connection to facebook. since then i have not been able to log in to the sync account. i can use the FB app no problem. anyone else?
edit: wtf after trying 10 times i post this and was able to log in right away. the power of whining on the internet
edit 2: still havign sync issues with fb. pain in the ass
I had the same issues. Must be on Facebook's end.
Some months ago FB's app would absolutely not give me notifications when I opened the app, no matter what I did. The error was all on their end of things. Push notifications have never worked anyway, and since auto-updating is a battery drain I just decided to turn it all off. I still marvel at how they can have such a poor official Android app, and how any improvements to it are so small and infrequent. Yet their mobile website is not nearly as bad, and now it's of course much more possible to use the full site on a decent mobile browser.
I've had the same problem for a long time too.
On another note, does anyone know why the Nexus S gets fb comment notifications and the Epic doesn't?
Yeah me too. I was reading that fb sync is gone in gb. Is that true?

Just noticed this today, but same thing... sync problem since 6/3. Contacts are still sync'ing (through SNS, not the app... I don't have the app installed), it's the calendar sync that is not working.
Using a themed version and it is not having problems. Steal one from a rom/theme if you're rooted.

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.

Been using HAxSync for a while, well i noticed it wasnt updating pictures. So i removed the account and readded it. Thus losign all my synced fb contacts and their photos. Now it wont resync them. Im guessing facebook changed something and which is why its not able to pull them down. Anyone know anything about it/ or having the same problem?
Re-install Haxsync, go to settings>apps>haxsync>Clear data. Then try again?
Tried that, same thing
:-\
That's weird. It's working for me.
OH WAIT, I had the same problem 2 days ago. Umm umm, go to accounts&sync>Haxsync>Settings and login again! Keep doing that. I know you've tried but keep doing it 2-3 times.
I know this won't help you, but HaxSync is working fine for me as well...
Oddly enough, the same is happening to me as well. After having it working fine for weeks, Haxsync just up and stopped syncing my contacts yesterday too. Tried uninstalling my 2.29, updated to 2.30 and tried to resync to either a FC or not syncing and telling the system that it was finished in 30 seconds. Odd. Maybe it's a server issue?

There was and update a while back. The developer said to update at once due to Facebook was changing the way they send their info.

Facebook seems to have some kind of issue today, I've been getting tons of reports. I suggest you wait a day or two and try again then. I don't have access to my dev machine until monday, so let's hope Facebook fixes their API. Cheers, Mathias

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?
