[Q] Why do I get Facebook notifications? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have turned OFF all syncing with FB in the sync settings. I still get notifications when I recieve a personal message... Any clues?

kill the facebook process in running services

this has annoyed me too, that app should really respect how we set up to disable sync.
it also annoys me that it automatically adds facebook contacts to my phone contacts when I only want numbers there (what's more it adds them with pictures >_<) just like gmail. however with gmail, if you choose not to sync this does not happen
so what i did was just to uninstall that app and browse fb using opera

Go into the settings of the Facebook app...

Syncing
Turning off Syncing in FB app does not disable FB notifications! You have to go to the FB main screen and then press menu button, go to settings as pre-poster said. There you can disable notifications.

[E-mail vs Gmail]

This is probably an android noob thing, but I cannot seem to understand how to use the "email" app and the "gmail" app.
I want to use the stock/default android email app, you know, the one with the black background? However, I am seriously annoyed by the fact that when I receive a single new email, I get two notifications in the notifications bar; One from the gmail app and one from the stock/default email app.
How do I use this? It's required to set up a gmail account for marketplace to work. But I hate replicate notifications.
Do I just delete one entirely from the app folder?
Whats the best way to work along/around this?
You can turn off the Gmail apps notifications by delving into it's settings.
Go to gmail app, hit menu, go to more, select settings, uncheck Email Notifications. Gmail app will no longer notify you.
but if you just turn off the notification it will still be syncing in the background so if you dont want to use the gmail app go into accounts & sync and under your mail address uncheck sync gmail
the gmail app is used for just that, gmail. the email app is used to connected to exchange servers, pop3 accounts, imap accounts, basically any email that isnt gmail.

you get two notifications because you have set up your gmail account on Email app. Gmail app is way better than Email app (my opinion)
Option1: Delete gmail account from Email app and just use the Gmail app.
Option2: Go to Gmail app settings and disable notifications and use Email app (it will still be synchronizing).
Option3: Uninstall Gmail app and use Email app.

Agreed!
If only I could make my ActiveSync account (work Exchange) to use the Gmail app for mail display instead of Email.apk's viewer.
Personally I think the Gmail app sucks ****. Its so annoying to see the Gmail notification (like push email) and then only go into Mail to actually read it after hitting refresh.
Real cockup in my opinion, but then again I don't hold android in the highest light anyway.
I personally like the gmail app. I never need to press refresh. My push works great. I see the notification or the green trackball (color I set for gmail) then pull down menu and select the notification for Gmail and it loads that message right up.

That's pretty much wrong if I understand you correctly. If I get a notification from the Gmail app of a new mail, I press it and it's right there in my inbox without having to refresh it first.
I also like the Gmail app better than the built-in e-mail app.
The Gmail Push?
I have nexus one, it normally syncs every hour (i set it so)..
Why dont I get the push option? (my operator supports push mail)
If you use Gmail app - the push is automatic and the only way. You don't configure the sync time, because it has no such option.
If you use Email app for Gmail - check if you can set it to Automatic(Push) option (it's the topmost option on the list).
If you set Gmail as Exchange, it can push. If it's set as IMAP then it has to be set to poll.
Ok did that, and and yeh, its push.
Its a lil slow though (it gets a lil delayed).. but Im glad it works..

[Q] How do you disable gmail chat

i've noticed recently that when i receive a gmail chat on my computer it also shows up on my captive.
i use pidgin for my computer and would prefer most of my gmail chat to go though the computer.
is there a way to disable it from coming up on the captive?
my gmail account is linked, but only syncs when i tell it to.
thanks
Log out of talk on your phone. You won't get the notifications that way
where do you do that? i don't see an app other than gmail.
is it in messaging? or somewhere in settings?
thanks

open talk app on phone go to options->more->sign out!!!
this should work as it worked for me. If not get task pane or task killer to kill talk running in background.
but I think first method should work because i tried stopping emails by killing gmail app running in background it never worked.
Signing out if talk worked.
Thanks fir the help

FB Contacts

Is there a way to only sync photos with existing contacts from Facebook? For some reason, all of my Facebook contacts are now in my phone and I don't really need them all there. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone wondering, all you do is Open Contacts -> Press Menu button -> Display Options and then un-check Facebook and it will clear out your FB Contacts, but leave the ones you entered yourself.
Thank you so much for this! I deleted all of the fb contacts that got added by hand then they all synced back again... I was like wtf dude.... glad I searched and found this, I was going to make a new thread!

yep, just install Facebook, launch it and it'll ask (the first time...after logging in) "sync all contacts" or "sync only existing contacts" Choose existing. Done.
I was having issues with this working the way I wanted, so I just used SyncMyPix. Does syncing it using the FB app or using and FB account sync more than just the pictures?

If your talking about the number on the icon that is a Samsung thing.
Same here man. I like my Facebook contacts to be synced to my phone.
Google play store > haxsync works great for contacts, birthdays, events
As for Facebook notifications go through apps on your Facebook account and go into settings and kill all active sessions then relogin with Facebook on your turbo

What email app are you guys using?

Curious as to what email app you guys are using on your P9's and if you get notifications?
I tried the default app for gmail and it only shows inbox and not sent or other folders which is a waste of time for me, all other emails apps dont show notifications unless I open the app and thats with the permissions set correctly.
I use Nine email app..it bas good support for exchange as well.

Do you have to launch the application first, or you can reboot phone and you will get notifications automatically?
Did you have to adjust the permissions?

I have a widget on my homescreen so it starts at boot. The permissions in the notification centre say "Status bar, banners, lock screen".

Can you tell me how to set up an outlook account on Huawei's pre-installed app? Not gmail app.
i delete some of my mails and after that when i enter my email app again my mails are still there. i think this is a huawei mail bug.
I use Outlook but turned off notifications now.
I prefer Gmail. ?
AquaMail has exchange support (also calendars) and runs at here without problems.

Just choose the option for hot mail and then enter your full outlook details when it asks. That's what I did .

Boxer Mail.
I don't use its calendar or contacts but works fine wih gamil, with imap,.... Altought all my accounts redirect to my gmail account, I read from Gmail and write for my personal domain. With boxer I can do it.
Before I used Outlook but I had problems with IMAP refresh. With Boxer I haven't problems.
