Facebook notifications

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..

Mine are off as well and all I get is notifications that someone sent a chat message. You guys might wanna try uninstalling the update and then redownliading it

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.

Voice works w/ wifi 3.1 update!!!!

Hey guys I don't know if this is already posted but I'm just letting everyone that doesn't know that it works like it's suppose to

It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.

can someone post a 3.1 friendly apk here for us then ?
danka

where are you downloading the apk from??

I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?

This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents

I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet

you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.

Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!

Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

I think you are thinking of Google Talk. Google Talk and Google Voice are different apps

Anyone else getting INSANE battery use from Voice? It's almost up there with the display.

Are u guys saying that you are being able to place calls from your xoom with Google voice?

Yes I am. Might be the polling interval but I uninstalled it until there is a fix or an official release

Best Facebook App

Friendcaster is a hands down, far superior app for Facebook, then the Official Facebook app. It does it in less room, with a plethora of options the Official app doesn't have. I can do almost everything on Friendcaster I can online, and faaaaarrrrrrrrr more then the FB app. Try it!!

hmmm, I will have to check it out. Thanks for the 411

Thanks sinsin it is a better app than facebook android.
Bummer it doesn't have chat.

Black facebook! Its the best ! Its not in the market tho

seems to me that what this app does os mostly provide notifications of updates and then send you to the facebook app or the webpage to do updates or even simply reply to messages. Will have to play with it some more however.

Been forever. If you're using the free version it doesn't do half of what the paid one does. If youre using the paid version there are options in the settings to choose actions for things. So it really does everything better. Even the FB app forces you to the website for stuff. Plus the paid version of Friendcaster has a black theme, to answer the post before yours. Not sure what options the free version has so if you're using it read up on it. It may be limited to certain things and options.

Facebook issues

Since yesterday i have been having alot of issues with Facebook app. I cant comment or like. Doesnt seem to show latest updates. Cant chat with my friends, i hear the facebook notification sound but window is clear. Is there a problem with my OB or fb app jus sucks? Thx.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

Do you have any others device login as same account,resulting the FB server no respond.Or press menu / reflash
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

Nope, OB is the only other device i use to login to FB other than my pc. When you say reflash, you reinstall FB app? Thx for the reply.

I've problems with FB app from LG.
Changed to FB original and all it's OK now.
Also you can try Seesmic or Tweetdeck.

Thanks! Will check it out.

Dont use lgs own crappy facebook app, compared to the crappyness of facebooks own app it is much worse. Best is to use facebook in the browser but then the chat probably wont work
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

I am quite surprised at how crappy even the official FB app is. I thought they were gearing up for dominating the mobile world by even releasing chacha and salsa but what difference does it make when their app sucks.

As many people suggested SMS pop is great, if you just want SMS pop up. You could also try chomp SMS and GO!SMS, you'd have to get use to a new texting app though. GO!SMS is nice though IMO. I prefer stock ICS Message app but meh
