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
Hi,
So I think it's bug, I choose the productivity lockscreen and check
messages
email
calendar
But when I receive a sms, it show notification on top bar, the little (1) number on dock message icon, but the sms is not displayed as it should be on lockscreen.
The meetings and emails from my work's exchange server are correctly displayed.
Does someone have a clue?
I use the stock rom not root or unlocked.
Try this go to message settings notification and tick display on screen see if that wo
Same for me. It displays only
calendar events
mails from stock email app
but not
sms from stock messages app
mails from gmail app
whatsapp messages
At least for SMS I think this is a bug, GMail and WhatsApp probably don't use the Sense API at all and won't get displayed unless a future version does. Very unlikely though for GMail.

It corrected the problem, but after 20 min, the same problem appears again, the checkbox was uncheck again. That's a little odd.
Is that a setting stored on the google account?
I re-check the boxes hope it last more than 20 min this time.
But thanks anyway.
I got this and fixed it by rechecking calendar. If Mail is clicked SMS won't work. No idea why. So it has to be events, SMS, and Cal.
Whenever I delete gmail messages through the notification panel, it makes the notification sound as if I'm receiving a new email. I can't figure out how to urn this off while still retaining notification sounds for incoming mail. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Do you have gmail set to confirm before deleting?
No. I doesn't ask for a confirmation, it vibrates a chimes as if I'm getting a new email.
Is nobody else experiencing this?
A few times a day, a Gmail notification appears in the notification area (top of screen) and also as a button on on the icon for the Gmail app. When I expand the notification, all it is for is that Gmail is Syncing. The notification automatically disappears when finished syncing. Is there a way to disable that particular syncing notification? It makes me think that I have a new email, and only way to tell is by viewing the notification, or waiting to see if it disappears.
I think this started happening ever since I added a second account.
I am on updated, stock, un-rooted Android.
Thank you,
try playing with the notifications settings for it - there's one for miscelanious, but it might remove the normal notifications for new mails too...
I'm going to be specific as I see so many answers that circle my problem, yet don't quite nail a solution for me.
DEETS:
Samsung 21S Ultra
Verizon
All the Icon's that pop up in the Notifications Bar for Email, Gmail, Text, WhatsApp, Instagratis and others work just as they're supposed to .... EXCEPT Calendar.
I get the Email/Gmail that a Calendar event has arrived, but nothing on the Notification Bar.
I go into Settings ---> Calendar ---> and see the options for: Show Notifications and it's turned to the "On" position along with: General Notifications/Ringtone Notifications/Other Notifications/App icon badges ... HOWEVER ... the "Show Notifications line is highlighted in Blue as if it's going to be "Copied", and although the switch is turned to "On", it's still in Gray-Scale and not in color.
In addition, the Ringtone Notification line is marked as "On" ... but it's also in Gray Scale and not in Color.
Why is this happening?
What can I do to fix this issue?
Please help!

Which calendar app are you using? The Samsung and Google apps have the same name, Calendar.
Can you clarify your particular issue - is the problem that you aren't receiving a particular type of notification? Is the problem that you cannot configure the notification settings? Is it both of these issues?
The description includes mention of receiving a calendar event, but it's phrased in a way that suggests a problem there. However, my understanding is that's the intended behavior. You don't get a calendar notification when you receive an email containing the calendar appointment. That email just causes the event to be added to your calendar, so there is no reason to be notified of that. Rather, you can add notifications to the event itself, and those will trigger when the scheduled time arrives. Is that the entirety of your issue?

Hi KingFatty,
Using the Google Calendar App.
It's seems you understood the problem correctly: I would get an email, but no Calendar Notification in the Notification Bar at the top of the screen. But I don't understand why you think I shouldn't get both. My email has always been separate from my Notification Bar and the rational is obvious ... one is an email to which can be accessed from anywhere and anyone who has access to my emails (secretary/assistant/etc) ... and the other is my phone which no one but me has access to ... so, this way if the email is opened, the notification that an email has arrived and is unopened disappears (see reasons above), yet if the Notification of a Calendar Event was displayed in my Notification Bar, I would still be notified there is an event in my Calendar.
This may not seem that important to you, but for the last 14 years, this is a system that has been working flawlessly and efficiently for my staff and I to sync perfectly and harmoniously.
UPDATE:
I have found a way to get the Calendar Notification to work as is has before I upgraded (not an upgrade as far as I'm concerned, Samsung has **** the bed with this "Ultra") ... and that is to dumb-down the notifications to it's lowest level and change two settings.
As I acclimate myself back to Samsung from LG ... I am getting the gist there is a language conversion/translation issue at play here, more than the things the phone is/isn't doing and/or can't be easily remedied.
If it wasn't for YouTube, this would still be an issue.
Thank you for attempting to offer help KingFatty. It is appreciated.
Regards,
Gregory
It's still uncertain to me - can you clarify what is the calendar notification you want to receive (e.g., in the notification bar at top of screen)?
I offered some speculation to try to illustrate the ambiguity.
But at this point, it sounds like you want to receive a calendar notification to let you know that your calendar has been modified?
Like, if I sent you a calendar meeting today, scheduling us to meet next week, you would want to get a calendar notification today, upon receiving the meeting? You will get whatever Calendar notifications I've set up in the meeting, which usually I like to set two: 1 hour in advance, and 15 minutes in advance. For some appointments I set three: 1 day in advance, 1 hour in advance, 15 minutes in advance. Those types of calendar notifications would come through, but it would happen next week, when we are supposed to meet. Calendar would trigger and send you those notifications.
But think about *how* did I send you that calendar meeting? How did you receive it? For the answer, it's sent and received via email. Google takes it upon itself to automatically add that calendar meeting to your calendar, upon gmail receiving the email without you even opening the email itself.
So that's the crux as far as I can see it: are you desiring that your calendar generates a notification when Google takes it upon itself to add the meeting to your calendar?

Thanks for your concern.
It doesn't matter whether the notification was about a meeting you're scheduling through an email link, my staff added something to my calendar, or there was something already on the calendar ... I was having an issue with getting a Calendar Notification Icon in my Status Bar.
As stated, I've found a solution, so I'm going to bail out of this volley.
Please see the other discussion in this thread - there is an issue with Google Calendar notifications being missed. The cause is unknown, it seems sporadic.
This problem is back again!
Calendar Notifications are an essential part of most people's day ... and Samsung can't get it right?????
I am hating this phone more and more every day!
Video Call Effects doesn't give me options other S21 Ultra's have ... and several other Samsung Apps are either faulty or incomplete. The new update hasn't done anything to help these issues either.
It's as if they (Samsung/Verizon) want you to go to Apple! LOLOL
