Hi everyone, I've got a htc wildfire running froyo (arrfff no root but it's not the thread)
I would like to know if it's possible to activce instant notification in facebook app, because the refresh shows only time to 30mn to 4hours and never, I don't know how I can do
Thank you
I dont believe its currently available for the adroid app yet, even the dev is riping his hair out and he used to write for the apple ipone. Only available way is to change the email address to a gmail account as gmail suports instant push notifications but only for events, messages etc not normal news feed.
Hope that helps...........
Works fine for me...
(Lags a little on mobile data connection)
Thanks NickHu but what's your setting in facebook official app ????

Hi guys,
My unlocked unrooted Hero has been fine but since yesterday the HTC mail programme is not updating folders from my gmail account as it should. It is set to check every 10 mins but I can see it's been hours or overnight in some cases and no update has taken place. It manually refreshes ok but anyone know why it would sometimes stop doing it automatically? This is a bit worrying as email is important for work. Oh, and I'm using an always on wi-fi connection not mobile data.
Yeah. Dont kill the mail app with a task manager
I wondered that too once.
Thanks for that - seems to work. Strangely google mail app also opens opens up with the htc mail app. Can i shut that down? What is the relationship between the htc mail and google mail app - does the htc app use google mail?? As far as I can tell its impossible to remove google mail app to simplify things. Any thoughts appreciated!
the google mail app runs all the time as it is a push mail client. That and it'snot open source and is built in to the operating system.
seems a bit of a funny way to do it if you have a google mail account, why not just sign in and use the google mail app to get your gmail...thats what it's there for!
or is this a second gmail account?

I know I could do that. However the HTC mail allows me to use the widget and the icon on the front screen shows the number of new emails. I thought as I'd bought a new phone why not take advantage of it but seems like it complicates things. No big deal though and thanks for your input!
I know there are several apps out there that update twitter with the phone's GPS coords. Is there a WinMo app that does it for Facebook? I've messed with Loopt for blackberry, and that's the only program I've found that'll send a map location to FB. But I'm wanting to take my Tilt2 on vacation, and update my status with map or map coords/link on where I am. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Personally what I do is I use twitter and I have it auto-update to my facebook account. When I post a picture and/or location on twitter (or any other update for that matter) it goes straight to my facebook status message...
Just an idea...
True but in order to do that, (I believe) I must have my twitter account un-protected. This means anyone anywhere could see where I am. Not that I'm paranoid, but I'm looking for something that'll go directly to FB so i can control even which FB groups can and cannot see it Thanks though!
Glympse works well. If you have Facebook set up to accept text messages from your phone, it will post to your FB wall.
Never heard of Glympse but it is kinda cool. Now if only I could update via email. Trying to use data only, not txts. Thanks!
Hey all,
I'm having a really annoying problem on my TB. Basically facebook events do not get removed from the calendar/agenda when you change from 'attending' to 'not attending' This is particularly annoying to me because I am trying to get rid of a multiple day event (may 4 through june 11) and it clutters every single day of my calendar/agenda. If anyone knows of a way to remove facebook events from the LP calendar/widget please let me know.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue... All my Facebook birthdays are showing in my Launcher Pro Calendar widget... it's so annoying because I can't easily find my real events and it's confusing.
Tried disabling the facebook calnedar from the calendar app on the phone, and still no luck...
Let me know if you resolve this..
Thanks!'

try removing it from gmail > calendar, and unsubscribe, since the calendar gets it from your gmail calendar
hopefully that helps
Does the facebook push (version 1.5.1) work on any rom.
Because the push function needs 2.2. So it cant work on the stock
But i tried a lot of roms and it doesnt work on any of them.
So if somebody has experience or knows how to get it work pls tell me
iPhone, BlackBerry and all phones support push so why not ours
thx for replys
I've had same issue with facebook. Its absolutely rubbish.
I set facebook to send me emails to my gmail account (with an appropriate label and filters to keep them seperate). When facebook gets an update it emails me and then gmail pushes it to my phone. Its awkward but the only way I can get it to work, every once in a while oddly enough I do get a facebook push notification - but its completely random and on about 1percent of messages.
Google+ works tremendously well however so I assume it's facebook being rubbish. Just need more friends to move over to google+ then I can wave bye bye to facebook.

I'm not getting push notifications on my device even with Wi-Fi on :/
iv'e just come from a blackberry thinking this phone would be better
clearly not i use facebook a lot and need it to work
Sell up and get android??
the phone is new today -.-
don't use the facebook app for messaging.
use the native facebook chat which is integrated into the messaging hub. there it works without any problems.
