There is no "Menu Button", but when you are in an application, there are standard options that are applicable and allowed for that app. These options can be accessed via the three dots at the bottom right of the screen within in the app.
If you are taking about a notification alert like in the BlackBerry, NO. You do not get notified when someone posts on your wall. If I am not wrong, no other FB app for a smart phone has this feature except for BB. But you can always sign up for an SMS alert or an email alert when someone posts on your wall. I guess you would already know that.
Yes, you can check your FaceBook inbox from your phone and reply.
I really like the FB and Twitter app on WP7.
Hope this helps.
OMG thanks alot I didn't even know they had twitter. Also how exactly do I check my inbox for Facebook. I don't but for some reason my phone doesn't notify me about anything and I have all notifications checked off
Download the Facebook app from the Marketplace to get the full Facebook functionality from your Windows Phone 7.
As for notifications, push notifications for Facebook are not yet available.
Thanks alot btw is there anyway to get the led notification blinking for more then just missed calls? That's the only time it seems to come on for besides low battery

New to XDA here, I have a Nexus One and don't seem to get any notifications on my facebook saying that ive been commented or added. The only was i find out is when i get an email.. I've tried searching threads for this same question, But there was alot of them and didn't seem to find what i was looking for. Can someone help me out or does anyone else have this problem?
The Facebook app (default one anyway) only supports Messages, Pokes, Friend Requests and Event invites.
If you're only using that, then as far as I know these are the only events you'll get notifications for.
Someone may well correct the errors above shortly though
Ok... So for example if someone writes on my wall that won't be something that the default facebook app on my Nexus will notify me about...???
Not sure about anyone else, but I do not receive any sort of notification in the tray on my NexusOne when Facebook events occur. It would be nice if a little blue FB logo would pop up in the tray with some sort of badge to notify you of the # of notifications you have... but Facebook has no love for Android and our FB app is far behind that of the iPhone (for example).
fb tells me when i have messages in the tray. you have to have facebook sync enabled under settings>account and sync>auto-sync enable for facebook.
probably have to change notification settings within the fb app as well
Anyone help ????
I have set my Hero Email app so that when I get and email, it informs me, and I can open, and read it, This is when I set the pop and smtp settings. But I also get another notification icon, which only lets me read the email, not reply to it, so I get two notifications.....
I only want the one from the email app, pop account, how do I cancel the other notification ????
Thanks all
Ian
That's a notification from the Gmail app.
It seems to me that either you're picking up your Gmail via POP in the Email app, or you use something other than Gmail for your email, but have set up a Gmail account which is also picking up your email via POP.
In either case, if you want to switch of notifications from Gmail, go into the Gmail app and then "Menu"->"Settings" and untick "Email Notifications" which will switch of the Gmail notification.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave,, thats just what I was hoping someone would say....

Hey Ian, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but my question is applicable here.
I am using the Gmail notification widget from the Market. When I get an email, the widget reflects the number of unread items. So, I no longer have a need for the notification in the taskbar. Problem is, there seems to be no way to disable the taskbar notification without disabling the sound and vibrate as well! (where is my "banging head against the wall" smilie?)
Anyone know how to resolve this. Handcent is the same way. Disable the taskbar notification and you lose your sound notification as well.
i just want to start off by saying that "Bloo" is one of the best app for facebook out there. the developer had decide to either let bloo die or make it open source.
please respect hes work and show support if you want "bloo" to survive.
visit hes website "fbandroid.wordpress.com" or on the market. and let him know how you feel.
By the way he has release a "Preview" of the new Bloo 1.5 With Facebook Chat. (REMEMBER IS NOT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE) everything seems to be working fine for me. but there should be some bugs.
****The only way to download this app is either by downloading "ASTRO" on the market. and download it straight from your SD Card****
**BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE NEW VERSION, PLEASE UN-INSTALL WHATEVER BLOO VERSION FROM YOUR PHONE FIRST**
File remove by moderator. If anyone wants it then download it through official channels such as Market.
extra! thanks for this one.
When I attempt to download it says 'cannot be supported on this phone' I have a Motorola Droid.
if you have your phone rooted. that might be a problem, but if not
try to download it straight to your phone by visiting the forum and download from ur mobile browser, noone seem to have a problem but if you do theres nothing i can think of.
Seems to work well on my X10a. Liking the speed and interface better than the official Facebook app.
Chat appears to work, though I haven't really had a chance to use it yet.
Not sure if this is an official Bloo thread, but would it be possible to get more thorough info when looking at events? I'm looking for attendee lists (who's attending, maybe, or not attending) and would love to have access to the event wall.
Keep up the great work.
Bloo 1.5 chat
Bloo 1.5 has chat...I'm able to open chat and send chat message, but unable to receive. Mytouch 3G
Hi bro over here!! may i noe how do i open the FB chat on bloo??? i cant figure it out!! thx!!
this apps is great, nice interface and more features. although there are some bugs need to be fixed. but still it better than official fb app
CET90,
When you open "BLOO" A blue icon shows on ur notification bar...go to it and click it and ull see all ur friends that are online....(IF U DONT SEE THE BLUE ICON ON UR NOTIFICATION BAR) JUST OPEN BLOO and on the home page (right click it ......not sure what phone u got but after u right click it go to "preferences", when it open go to chat options and make sure where it says "CHAT OPTIONS the "Enable Chat box is has a check mark on it) and if it doesnt just click on it and just go back to your home page and u should see a notification icon pop out on ur bar...(IF U DONT SEE IT RESTART THE APP "BLOO" or Restart ur phone and open the app and it should automatically open chat when u open bloo)
Yup... this time Bloo do it better than the official FB app... can the dev make it sync with contacts like the official app?
was wondering if there was a way to supress the email notifications somehow, like on my blackberry when i had it, it will intercept the email notifications and push the notifications through the program instead therefore i won't be notified twice of updates and such
I was unable to install bloo on my milestone...it said 'Unable to parse the package', something like that...anyone know why?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

You can just disable the email notifications from within Facebook. Log into Facebook on a computer, go to Account > Account Settings > Notifications. Uncheck the boxes in the email column and you will no longer receive email notifications. Bloo will still send you notifications.
Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.
Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!
Preinstalled apps won't do this.. Neither will facebook or Yahoo Messenger.
ok.. because those pre-installed one's also has reminders like those. So its safe for mo to re-install fb and ym?
its safe to install fb yahoo .
What are the contents of these SMS? Is it like a butt dial SMS or are your friends getting strange advertisements and links?
Sounds like malware.
uhm, they were receiving txt messages that I have already previously sent them. I mean older ones..
anyone? who has the same problem?

Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.
I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.
I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..
I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.
Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!

Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.
There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.

Hey people, anyone has Facebook notifications fully working? I mean on the Fb app... I dont get the number badge when I get Likes for instance. Only if I open the app, otherwise its "neat and clean". I only get notified for the new comments and thats kinda it. Do you have all of them working?
PS: please do not tell me to activate notifications, or the "show the badge with numbers" from the homescreen settings, because all are active, I am not a novice user .
Thanks!
I have that issue as well. Also, Flipboard widget never refreshes properly. This happened on my S9+ as well. I wonder if setting up the phone connected to previous phone copying screwed something up.
Neh man, it didnt screw anything up...unfortunately samsung screwed smth up... I have to use Microsoft Launcher, which can be set up to act and look exactly like Samsung launcher, BUT gives me notifications for Fb and also badges dont disappear when you clear the notification bar. But I dont like to use 3rd party bull..it, instead of what the phone comes with... and I thought maybe someone has a solution or found out smth new...
Try to use different launcher as said above. But my suggestion is to turn off notifications and backup updates for facebook at all - it will save up to 4 hours for the battery
Coming from the S7 Edge, I don't truly care for this but I didn't have this since S7E and I just noticed it's not showing on my Note9 either. Might be Samsung UI related? I have noticed every now and then I do get the notification number on Messenger but not the Facebook app.
