Is anyone else seeing this problem? I don't get any notifications when someone posts on my wall or anything.
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
i noticed that also but then i checked under sync and it was set to ONCE A DAY
Yeah but on my wife's epic its instant. Also sync is not push, so the sync time has nothing to do with the notifications. In fact the sync time is just for the news feed

Touch wiz and Sense aren't the same, so touchwiz might have push facebook notifications. Do you have the facebook market app installed?
u need the facebook for android app, the built in fb for sense just updates friend stream and contacts
Facebook app + notifications = fail. They don't work half the time.. Google it. Very very common problem..
It always works on my widest phone the epic and its just the app that does it. I have the app and have all my settings on Facebook.com and my EVO the same as hers. Still it does not work yet it always works on hers.

Do you have Facebook for sense active too? I didn't activate it cause I hated the way it sync'd on my EVO 4G
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
yes facebook and facebook for htc sense are both on sync
What are your setting for what all is sync'ed cause mine still isn't instant
Also are your notifications instant?

Agreed. Friendcaster is much better. Notifcations pop up, can tag photos, etc...
King Ty so much for your help can I ask one more thing of you? What are you notification settings inside the Facebook app? Thx again

I was about to make a new thread until I saw this.
Anyone else really upset that there's no fix to this? The Facebook app is absolute garbage without push notifications. What gets me is that the app was SUPPOSED to support it a while ago, but it clearly doesn't work and Facebook doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. Funny, because the Google+ app handles push notifications perfectly
I've done a lot of research and it honestly seems as though MOST people don't know what exactly push notifications are. You read a lot of 'well I get them almost right away" or 'I get them almost instantly'. Haha with push you're supposed to get them immediately, no questions asked You shouldn't have to wait for your phone, or the app to sync with Facebook's servers. Facebook servers tell your phone immediately as soon as there's a change.
There has to be something we can do to fix this. Sorry I'm just really bothered by it LOL
I have the Evo 4g and i no longer get push notifications. I though it had something to do with my Facebook account but recently purchases a htc amaze and sg2 and both of those phone received instant notifications. I since returned both so now i am stuck with no or very late notifications.
I used to use Handcent quite some time ago but found out that it was causing some problems with people receiving my messages and pictures. In addition, it started hanging and would generally slow down. Lastly I was told that it does not necessarily play nice with some other applications, namely LightFlow.
When I eventually put Eclipse on my DX2, I simply did not re-download Handcent and was just using the stock SMS until today, using CM7 and still, the stock SMS.
What does everyone else use, are there any decent alternatives to the stock SMS and if so, what makes it a better alternative?
All I've ever used is handcent, seems to be working nice for me, never used liteflow though.

I'm a huge fan of chompSMS. I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, but I always end up coming back to chomp. The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to multi-select message threads to delete, instead of having to do it one by one or deleting them all at once. I emailed them and suggested that and they responded that it was planned for an upcoming update, so maybe I'll get my wish.
I use GOsms. Works great for me.

I have used Metro Messaging Beta for a while. It was when I was going through my WP7 phase. lol. I actually liked it though. It didnt have any cool features (it was actually very limited) but with how simple it was, it was nice to use. I have recently just gone back to the stock sms app though. I also use SMS Popup so when I get a message, I dont even have to open the sms app.
I too, use GOsms. I like the customization and different themes it offers.
Just make sure to manually go into stock notifications and disable. Other wise you will get multi notifications at some point. It will ask you at setup to disable, but for some reason you will still have to manual disable through stock app.
You could always give it a go!

I like the customization of Handcent better, can change a lot of things for individual contacts in handcent.
I just delete the SMS/mms apk in every ROM and put handcent in system/app

Ciao!
GoSMS here BUT the MMS sending on it is whack. I have it set up for 1.2 MB and preserve image resolution yet when I send a pic it'll degrade the picture image. This is for pics under 1.2MBs...
Any one use a different phone/call app besides the stock one?

GO SMS is what I use, I like how it pops up a window without you having to swipe notifications, and the overall customizability of it. As Elite49 said, you cant go over 1.2mb in size but it just let it shrink my photos to fit and it works just fine. Be sure to get all the plug in for it too, there are tons of themes and emotocons etc...

Does yours degrade the pics when their not over 1.2MB? I find it extremely annoying seeing a pic thats under that somehow look like crap when I go to send it.
Another vote for GO SMS here!

Never had a reason to try anything but Gosms, it works, and you can make it look however you want. all i plan to ever use atm
I've settled on Handcent for now, but I've been wondering what some of you guys are using. I've tried a couple others, but Handcent just seems fluid and is constantly updated and supported. Lots of themes and tools to utilize, if that's your thing.
Also, in addition to what SMS app you're using, is there an SMS app that will allow "reply to all" natively? I get group texts from iPhone users and when I reply it only goes to the person that sent the message to me.

I've been using Handcent since I moved to Android(always had dumb phones before)roughly three years ago. I like the set up,customizations and how smooth it operates. I also like that the app has strong support, although I'm sure that they all do.
Am I the only one who likes stock apps? Such as stock sms+keyboard? Sheesh. :x

Since I started with Swiftkey for a keyboard app, I NEVER could go back to stock on any phone (or tablet) - It ruined me for anything less!
And there are some stock SMS apps I like and have used. In fact I like the one on the OG and I seriously considered sticking with it, but I switched to Handscent for purely vanity reasons. I like to put a "signature" on my texts and the stock SMS won't let me do that. I do use the stock e-mail app, however!
+1 for SMS Popup. Also the Cyanogenmod version of the stock keyboard since it has a dark theme. Haven't tried it on the LGOG yet because I haven't gotten mine, but I imagine it will work.
Well, since the stock app has a reply to all feature, I'm just running that now. Handcent had some cool stuff, but all these group texts are killing me.
I can't believe Handcent doesn't have reply to all at this point.

I've used Swiftkey and Hancent before and I've always switched back to Stock.
Well, I used them on my Inspire 4g. But I ran other ROMs so I guess the keyboards were never exactly "stock"...
Meh! I can do without. The LGOG's stock is nice, for my preference anyway.
Am I the only one using go SMS pro? Lol.

And you're 100% positive that handcent is not Chinese or otherwise related to anything Asian? I don't see anywhere on their site stating that they're local, or European. And what proof do you have that they steal your info and sells them?
I don't find go SMS a resource hog at all actually so I don't know about that either.

Many third party SMS app comes with added features that aren't available on stock apps. For me, go SMS pro has two features that I don't see in other SMS apps yet, unless they're addons, and those are inter grated lock screen for the app itself and a private chest to store all your texts that u don't want ppl to see. It has screen popup notifications too so uh don't have to constantly access your SMS app to read or reply texts but I think handcent has the same feature.

I like Handcent for some of the features to customize and privacy aspects. Different backgrounds to choose from and privacy inbox to off load or keep texts in through their storage.
The stock is okay, but unless I've missed something it's fairly limited and bland as far as options.
I use go pro sms...haha....it works pretty well too!

I also use Go SMS. It's the only one I tried that allows me to use group messaging properly.

I always used the stock SMS app, never felt comfortable with anything else. I like the simplicity. Swiftkey keyboard plus the stock app= perfect minimalistic experience.
I use the stock sms and then either Swype or Swiftkey flow.
Sent from my UNLOCKED LG-E970 using xda premium
I'd live to use the stock app if only it has security integration. Just cuz the phone is locked doesn't mean ppl can't get into your phone and then read the text messages. Its an added layer of security.
Another advantage of go SMS pro (not sure if handcent has a similar feature) is that if u never delete your text messages and have literally thousands n thousands of text messages within a single contact, go SMS truncates the chain of conversations to the latest ones n if u scroll up, u can click show more messages to view older ones. This speeds up loading time when going into a conversation. Whereas in the stock app, it can take sometimes 5 or more seconds of delay since its trying to load all the old texts.
For example, my conversation with my gf has never been deleted lately, resulting in nearly 10,000 texts between the both of us. When I open our conversation in go SMS pro, it works fine. But using the stock app can take nearly 10-15 seconds n it sometimes even crash and freeze. So yeah, it can make a difference.

Hey everyone, so I was wondering, which messaging/texting app do you use and which do you believe is the best?
On my Atrix 4G i used GoSMS and I loved it, but recently GoSMS has been just piling on ads onto my phone and it really ticks me off. I tried using the stock messaging app, and it was great and all, besides the constant crashing (maybe it was my rom) and the stupid smiley face emoticons it uses. Is there any other messaging apps that you guys recommend? Hopefully if we get Sense 5, do you think that the HTC messaging app will change up a bit? Also, is the a regular android messaging app (like they have on the Nexus) for download anywhere? Thanks!

Unfortunately when I tried this app out it took far too long to launch and load my messages (3-5 seconds just watching the pre-launch screen of the app). Does anyone know if he's made any strides in speeding it up? It seems like he's loading the messages on the UI thread or something....
that app does seem like a very cool app, like i said the only problem i had was the notifications and the random forced closes. once you get the hang of the app it seems very nice to be able to multitask that quickly on it. hopefully the free version (which ive been using) will make some big strides so this can be a top app

Hi guys,
I've been meaning to post this for a while, but with the new Gmail app, I don't have the options in the notification bar like you are supposed to get (delete, reply, etc.). I am currently running Viper Rom, if that makes a difference. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?
Seems to only work when i have one new email. Two or more emails and I have to go to the main app to delete /archive etc.

That is really weird. When I first downloaded the new update, it wouldn't work even with 1 email. I reinstalled the Gmail app, and it now seems to work with only 1 email, which makes sense because it could get a bit crowded with multiple emails.
I have the same problem as well. I have removed the app and reinstalled several time but still don't see the options. Quite odd.
