I have the newest facebook version just updated several days ago. I have never used the notifications feature but for some reason I am receiving notifications from the app now. I even tried enabling and disabling all of them to perhaps "re-write" the app setting but did not work.
Is this app broken?
Same thing is happening to me on my EVO.
Are they notifications of chat messages? Because I know they just added chat and I don't think you can shut those messages off.

No, they are notifications from people replying to a Facebook post.
Lucky people! I wish that happened to me... :/

The app is definitely broken. I'm surprised this passed QC.
They are definitely Facebook notifications or email notifications from Facebook? Just asking because I'm not receiving any phantom messageswoth the notifications settings turned off..

They are notifications for anything - reply to post, chat, etc. I think I may try re-installing the app.

QC? on Android? LOL. Even google doesn't do QC.
Not to mention FB hates Android, or pretty much anything Google. The FB App was so bad for so long, I'm surprised it has gotten as well developed as it has. At least now we're just about caught up to the iPhone app.
So I had my bionic in my car mount and received a text message. The phone then preceded to read it to me.
I haven't seen this anywhere but is there a way to gain this functionality when walking around?

Settings text to speech and accessibility should help and handcent sms allows only text message readout on the press of a button if memory serves
I kind of wish I could disable this feature.
It kind of got me in trouble one day

I can imagine....
I went through the settings and there isn't anything there to configure when its available.
The Casio G-Zone Commando has a "read out" app that will read any unread messages when you press the app icon. I have looked for the app but can't find it. If I'm able to find a Commando ROM ans extract the apk, do you thing it would work? Hmm, I guess I know my evening.
I have never liked things like handsent or third party apps that do what I already have a core app to do. It just seems like bloat

I agree but they work well as a temp fix until you find the solution
I think this would be a pretty cool thing if I could get it to work.
It didn't take me long to find a commando system dump, but a couple of hours later I am no closer to finding the apk.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help. On the commando there is an app called "read out" and it has the same icon as the text messaging app. If you touch the icon it will read your unread messages to you.
I figure (total guess) that it is interfacing with the picotts.apk like the bionic does in car mode. The bionic has the picotts.apk already, so I want to try installing the read out thing to see of it works.
Does anyone know what the read out apk is named? Or if this would work?

Give me a link to what you are working with and I will take a look, but I am no dev so no promises
Also this seems to work well https://market.android.com/details?id=de.exesmobile.messagereader

I saw there were a couple of apps, what I liked about this was it's almost more of a widget. Nothing opens you touch it and it reads. The down side to an app is if I have to open an app to use it I might at well read the message myself.
I appreciate the help. I know I probably sound like an idiot

So I was able to check out a Commando and the "read out" is a 1x1 widget, not an app. The commando is the only phone I have seen this on.
Is there a chance that the pico apk is different on the commando and has that widget? If so can I install that version and have it work?
I like the widget because I don't want every message read out. I don't see the point in a seperate messaging app, because I could just open and read the message. But the widget I could find useful if I'm on Bluetooth or busy with something and don't want to stop and read. Just tap the screen and continue doing what I'm doing!

Unfortunetely commando forums are few are far between and not a lot of help.

Looks like that ROM is froyo based so I'm going to say probably not

Sucks. Any devs got some free time, and want to work on something a little unique?
So you think that's it, its a different Pico apk?

Check out VLingo in the Market. It has a setting that will read your SMS messages for you. There is even a handy widget to turn it on and off.
I like Car Dock Home v3 for full customizing and use Tasker for everything. It would be trivial to create a task that says to read an incoming text out loud based on docking status or location or time or whatever, and even automatically respond.

I start the morning off good with messages coming through, but then a few hours in they stop, and it is getting really annoying.... I am on latest gear manager and everything....anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix?
If I can't consistently get messages to my watch, it is worthless.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

I installed the inverted MMS app. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

yep. You need to use the stock app only.

Or is it just me, or am I dumb and only started using Messaging vs. Hangouts recently?

Maybe he's in Nevada. Area 51.
I want to say it only started happening a few days ago, but I think it was before I upgraded to 5.1.1. Definitely never happened with Hangouts, and it's only happened with Messaging. Sometimes it'll be small and in the corner, sometimes big and centered, but I believe it always pulses. I don't have any crazy apps, haven't even rooted since going to 5.1.1 yet. Have been using Nova for a while, shouldn't be that. I'm just perplexed. I like it though, but it's not consistent.

Are you using some sort of notification app or lockscreen replacement? NoLED, ACDisplay, Dynamic Notifications or something along those lines?

Eureka!
So I decided to take a look and see what all I had installed (I lose track sometimes) and I got to Edge Color Notifications (mimics Galaxy S6 edge) and dove into the settings and found it. Never seen this before, maybe it updated and just started doing it.
