My Facebook push notifications have stopped coming through. Nothing I do seems to work.
First I cleared the application data – a fix I found on Google (this fixed it last time it happened about 4 months ago).
Then I uninstalled the app, rebooted the phone (stock unrooted Vodafone SGS2, reinstalled but still no joy.
Can anybody please help?
Yep mine stopped too so I have actually turned back on email notifications, now that is reliable ...
I will soon ditch FB anyway so ...
How long ago did it stop? Mine stopped sometime Tuesday night.
Have you tired clearing the application data.
Try the blackberry workaround. It worked to me.

Same problem here, im on XXLPB they have not been working for the last 3 days
Generally it can be solved as-go to your main phone settings, applications, manage applications, facebook, clear data/cache. then open the app and resign in.
Also, in main settings, accounts & sync, is facebook enabled? is background data and auto sync checked?
in all the years ive had android Ive never had them working. I tried the Blackberry workaround last week and I received one notification and then it stopped again.
Back to Friendcaster, buggy but at least notifications work
For some reason facebook messenger has stopped notifying for me too.
Im using friendcaster -- some issue, but overally far more responsive than official app
Funny thing...
You wanna read something funny about this issues??
I own a Samsung Wave, the first one, and the social hub premium on Bada -its OS- does support Facebook with messenger and push!!!
I'm tired of asking Samsung support why the same functionality is not implemented in the social hub for android!!
The Samsung Facebook application for Bada works flawlesly, push, messenger, uploads, everything. Yet, on this device, Samsung's Flagship, social hub sucks big time, it sucks so much that users are left having to install other apps for the same functionality that could be already integrated into Android by Samsung...
Sorry for the OT, just venting a rant because I share the same push problems you do....

same here , has anyone found the solution ?
same here guys! tried to restart the phone still not updating
+1. On all three SE X10 forums I use its a problem. Facebook must have changed something cos I haven't changed anything on my phone (I don't think).

One of the big reasons people bought this phone(well, atleast me) was for Timescape - and my facebook hasn't updated for 22 hours now - LOL
I have seen this happen to several other phones and manufacturers. Maybe this means 2.1 is coming soon! Jk

My Facebook spline hasn't updated in 2 days either, and doesn't seem to if I click Refresh. Perhaps Facebook changed their API?
Mine did not update for more than 17 hours, and just 30 minutes ago, it starts updating again. It must have been a problem with Facebook itself...
Given up and now using Facebook widget and ditched Timescape til I see on one of the forums that its sorted. Got a twitter app and not worried about calls/sms/pics for time being. Shame, its one of the things I liked about phone altho picture quality on it was pretty rubbish.
Same thing happened to me. I even re-installed the OS through SEUS because I thought that it was me that I messed with something. Now Facebook is not refreshing, telling me that the latest update was from 30 hours ago, and I can't log into twitter because it keeps telling me that either my username or password are wrong... tried them on twitter.com and I have them right... so wtf?
Lol I gave up with timescape a long time ago. It has always been buggy.
My twitter app is perfect for me, tweetcaster. The only real annoyance remaining for me is the lack of a decent facebook app.

I think Timescape gets the update from facebook touch site, cause every time you click on the panel it takes you to the touch site.
If there is a delay with touch site updates, looks like Timescape got affected
I don't know if this is phone or app related but push notifications rarely work. The only app that seems to be working is MSNBC,
Facebook no notification of new messages etc
Twitter no notifications of mentions, PM's etc
Google+ Notifications only when you open the app
Anyone else have these issues? As I say the news ones like MSNBC,CNN seem to work fine the social networking ones don't and they did all work fine on my Desire S, Infact Google+ used to be a right torture

Mate I'm the same. I've cleared cache etc. but it never does anything. I'm running XXKI4 rooted with cf root then with stock kernel just to remove the yellow triangle. Gmail never sends push, I have to manually refresh, twitter never send notifications, market never does update notifications, even the ones set for auto, the only one that works is facebook. This one works flawlessly for me. I kind of got used to manually checking, but wish I didn't as coming from iphone, as bad as the notifications were, at least I got them!!

I'd agree with this, I never had an issue with push on the iPhone and on the news apps I got alot more, MSNBC you could of got 3-4 a day, same with CNN, On the SGS2 I get maybe 1 every other day and with the pull down menu being black and the writing of the push being black you can't read it anyway so all rather pointless.

Yeah tried it to no avail
1. You need to enable background data
2. You need to enable auto-sync
(both in settings -- accounts)
3. If your use juice defender, it turns off wifi and data when the screen goes off. So unless you set up a schedule or rule you won't get push.
4. If you use a task killer, when the app is killed you won't get push
5. With Android you don't get true push (its an Apple thing). The true equivalent push are apps that use autosync (ie google apps and twitter). The other apps even facebook simply run in the background and it transmits background data directly. This is less efficient than push but it does get the job done.
Are any of you using this app successfully? I'm thinking this awesome app may be what's causing my phone to lock up and randomly reboot.
I've been using it for a couple months but I'm no power user of the app. I get maybe 1 e-mail a day that I either move to a folder or delete.
edit: I'm using Jokers rev 2/test3 rom
I use the app and so does my wife. We are for sure power users averaging 75-200 emails a day across 2-4 accounts. I couldn't handle how the built in app didn't visually differentiate visually what account each email is from (for us it makes a huge difference).
That said my phone does reboot more often than I like. I don't have lockups but I did have instances where I couldn't type or make calls without a reboot, but my wife never has this. I tracked it down to SwiftKey X Keyboard. I have since moved to another keyboard (Flex T9, and ICS Keyboard) and I have eliminated the typing issues.

It's not the app, once again...you have a broken photon lol =/. Good news is, you arent missing much with enhanced email, gmail app gets emails 5-10 minutes faster than enhanced email. I've tried it on two phones, and a tab, all same results. It's a nice idea to have all accounts merged, but with this app, that's all it is, an idea.

I don't think all three replacement phones are broken with the same exact issues. My phone has now been running for four days w/ no issues (the longest yet) after doing a factory reset and installing no apps. This leads me to believe my problems are software related. Now, I'm trying to smoke out the problematic app(s).
Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing, as my Enhanced E-Mail seems to be quite laggy sometimes, and it's almost always the first thing to show the annoying keyboard lock-up, no-dialing issue. However, I use it ALL the time so that may just be an obvious consequence ... at any rate, I'd hate to take it off the phone unless we knew for sure!

I want to agree with you but I've never had a random restart or lockup or any type of lag.
Yes I do and yes my phone reboots randomly as well as my keyboard becoming non responsive.
I've removed it as of yesterday.

I'm glad I am not the only one who gets the keyboard lock-up, no-dialing, random reboot issue. Since I stopped using EE, I have not experienced any of these issues in over a week. In a few more days, I am going to reinstall it to see if the problems return. If they do, then EE is officially the problem in my book! The app is so awesome that I hope it is a different app causing the problems. For me, the other problem app could have been Smart Keyboard Pro. I've since switched to the A.I.Type keyboard which I like better. If no problems return after I reinstall EE then the problems would have been caused by Smart Keyboard Pro on my phone.
A new version of EE (v.1.31.2) was released today! I am going to try it and see if the random reboots return. Since uninstalling EE a few weeks ago, my phone has been running FLAWLESSLY with no reboots! Let's hope that continues after installation. (crossing fingers)
Anyone currently using EE successfully with zero random reboots?

Unfortunately K-9 Mail has weak support for exchange, I connect to two different servers (or it did a few years ago, it still has only WebDAV support) and neither worked with K-9.
On a different note, do you have any reboots with Kaiten?

I used to use Kaiten and K-9. Here are the *main* problems I had with them:
Can't change font color
Can't change font type
Let's say I have 100 emails in my inbox, I scroll down to see email #59, I switch to different app for something, when I return to K-9/Kaiten, the app reloads all of my emails; thus LOSING MY PLACE in the message list. Completely unacceptable!!!
Have these issues been addressed in the latest versions?
I've been interested in using a 3rd party email app (EE, kaiten, k9, maildroid, etc) for multiple Gmail accounts. My only question is if the 3rd party app gets push email just like the stock Gmail app.
honestly, im happy with stock e-mail as I don't type full page novels, but honestly, I have hears nothing but negative on EE!

Great! Please let us know if your phone starts experiencing random reboots after installing EE if you don't already experience them.
I haven't had any random reboots but my first gripe about EE is no threaded emails. Am I not seeing a setting in EE for threaded emails?
What other 3rd party email apps have you guys used that have threaded emails?
After taking the ICS update, I've been having some issues with a "facebook authentication fail" error daily. Has anybody else had this problem? It might be another sign to give up on Facebook...google+ works perfectly.

This will do it. Funny that it worked fine for ICS for so long until they updated a couple weeks ago. FB needs to hire our devs to make their apps.

FWIW, also encountering on an Arnova 10 G2 tablet. I don't think it's ROM-specific or device specific. It's a problem with the app.
It is certainly and issue with ICS as I have seen on other phone forums that this issue is there...
The last known version of Facebook that works is version 1.8.4 which you can find here on xda... Just search...
The version that sits on the phone after un-installing the updates is 1.8.1

Facebook's app is simply terrible. I bought FriendCaster Pro but even it doesn't display everything in my news feed for some reason.

Actually, its a conflict between the latest official Facebook App and HTCs Sense Facebook App.
Basically, use the old version of Facebook or freeze/remove the Sense FB app. I removed the HTC version and haven't seen any differences in functionality or features.

Thats what I thought too until I removed htc facebook from my ROMs. Now if I install facebook from the market it does the same thing. So I don't think its caused by htc's facebook. I solved it by just not installing facebook but that solution only works for me.
Perhaps its also the HTC FB chat then. I removed both at the same time because I never use chat.
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many people with the same problem. #FacebookSucks

Hi all,
I just wanted to see if other people are getting chat heads(new messenger update) to work. It doesn't appear for me on my DNA, but other people seem to have it working on their phones.
Thanks in advanced!
Working great for me. Enabled SMS integration in the app and now all of my SMS messages pop up too. Really nice feature honestly.

interesting well glad its working for you guys - I am not sure what I need to do - should the chat head be automatic? I am getting SMS alerts to messenger - just no chat head showing.
in the messaging app for facebook... go to settings>notification settings> should see a box for "chat heads". enable it. i also made it my main texting app(also in the settings but under sms/mms) not sure if that has anything to do with it though...
Thanks, it looks like I don't have an option for chat heads in the notification settings like I should .. interesting .. I'm on version 2.4.2 build 178229

I cannot see the Chat Heads options in settings (
I can't get the chat-head's option to show up in settings on my Nexus 4 either. I've tried rebooting and clearing all app data, but nothing.
I found the APK for the new Facebook Home application.. it's only for specific devices as of right now... any way to install on our device to test it out?? Do I have to do something crazy like edit build.prop???
I can't get it to show up on mine, either. Reinstalled both facebook app and messenger app to latest versions. Just don't see any option in notification settings..
Here's what I tried and no go:
Uninstalling/reinstalling both messenger and facebook
clearing app data
reset/shutdown phone
and the combination of the 3
I'd be curious if it started working if you changed your build.prop device entry to one of the strings from a phone that is working. Seen this behavior before, far too often, in apps. Restricting settings based on device model, etc, when they're perfectly capable of working on others.

I did try to get Facebook home working before during the leaks, and am running android 4.2.1... They're the only things different to everyone else maybe????
For people that have it working and not working, what are your setups? Phone models, roms and their bases? There must be a common factor here, or a mod to enable it... :silly:
