I have everything in my sync and also configured in my facebook settings to receive the notifications....But so far, I just receive one time...Is set to sync every 30min...But it worked one time only....
I know that is a know issue, I just would like to know if someone know how to fix that...
I wanted to receive notifications when i have messages, comments and new requests....
I just configured everything in the facebook settings on my phone...is still not working....
You did know you can activate your phone through Facebook to receive sms notifications.
Sign into Facebook>Account>Account Settings>Mobile Tab
See if that will do what you want. Facebook sync is meh at best.

Facebook notification is badly broken across all android phones and there's no excuse for it

yeah i wish we had the iphones facebook notifications..the only good thing about the iphone lol
So still no fix for this? My notifications worked before the most recent Facebook app update. Way to go, Facebook.
If you use Hotmail for facebook, Just sync it via EAS in
Settings > Accounts and sync > Add account > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
You will get notifications via hotmail instantly.

Guys, I know this is an old thread but I want to see if someone can confirm that notifications work with this facebook apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200174
It is a blacked out version which I honestly think is better without notifications, but I started getting them after installing. So if anyone could confirm it works for them, great! If not, I got lucky and at least we have a cooler looking version of facebook.

My gmail account hasn't synced in two days. Just gmail. Google contacts and calendar sync just fine. I'm not getting notifications about new emails. However...if I launch the gmail app...it shows new mail in the inbox under labels. But I'm not able to view the new emails in the actual inbox.
Anyone experiencing this as well? If no one else is having this kind of problem can you suggest a fix?
Sidenote- I thought about deleting my account from my captivate but I get a notice that I have to do a clean wipe in system settings to do so.
Help please!?!
I have been getting this for awhile even before ther recent update. (Im on the Desire)
HELP!

Try going to settings manage apps and find gmail and clear the cache - you should be good....
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..
So I updated to Serendipity 6.3 last night because Facebook was acting weird, and after doing so, Facebook still can't sync at all.
Using the actual sync under "Accounts & Sync" Facebook, says "Sync Error" and "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Though, after re-flashing, still the same problem.
Now using Sync in the Facebook App, it says it "successfully synced" but yet, Half of my contacts are missing pictures.
Anyone have any ideas? I really need this, for both my calendar and Facebook Phone book.
the default facebook sync is better than the app sync.
i had the error message too. i think it wasnt liking some of the tibu settings restoring after flash.
remove both the accounts from setttings > accounts and sync.
then add it back. the default one is the rounder corners with lighter colors logo.

Are folks still having issues with this?
I have long since solved my contacts syncing issues with the integrated fb account, but I do have issues with the calendar sync.
I've tried to force syncs on calendar and it always fails, but a day or so later, it works. Is facebook calendar sync restricted to a 24-hour period?
I'm having the same issue...my facebook calendar had not successfully sync'd since June 6....
Contacts are fine, just no calendar. I've tried the same solutions a others in this thread, but still no positive results.
Anyone else found a new solution? Does anyone know what the root problem is?
Fyi - I'm running Cog 4.5.1 with no other issues.

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure this out for the past day and I haven't come to any conclusions yet, but has anyone else noticed social apps (like facebook and twitter) are not recieving push notifications? I get push notifications for gmail and other google apps, but I've been noticing that I'm not getting push notifications for other apps. I know there should be settings in the apps themselves, and my room mate who has a samsung stratosphere is able to receive push notifications no problem.
I haven't had any problems with my Facebook notifications. I don't use the stock Twitter client, so can't comment on that, but FB pops up for everything I have it set to notify.
No issues for me either.
I use messenger for my messages, and it's notifications are spot on. Everything else, works as it should.
I also don't use the regular twitter client, so I can't help you on that on.
I am using the simple email app included, Gmail is disabled. Using arhd 10.1 but this problem was here long before with original stock.
I guess I have already tried all possible combinations to have the mail sync, maybe someone else has an idea on how this works if at all.
In settings I tried the smart sync, then each number of minutes, whatever I put in there, the only way to have the mail query the server is to manually open the application. For instance, I send myself an email from desktop, my ipad picks it up in a matter of seconds, I mean the fu$#er is in sleep mode, cover on, then I almost instantly hear that notification sound. The One however, I could wait all day, no sign it knows about it.
I have 2 email accounts configured, yahoo and Gmail, I also tried to add one at a time, nothing seems to help.
Thanks for any idea on how to make it work or any suggestions on a third party app?

Smartsync takes time to build a database of data about your usage and when to check for email. For Gmail the best bet is the Gmail app, which will get almost instant push notifications.

I'd rather be using only one app for my email accounts - - the stock mail for instance.
It's just that no sync mode seems to work, be it smart or not

like the guy said above. smart sync needs to build a repour before it will know when to check. its not having information pushed to it like the gmail app is. your best bet is to use the 2 separate apps since each individual app has the ability to push emails immediately while HTC's smart sync or manual sync is just basically timed sync-ing. its just that smart sync is timed to how the phone learns your usage?

As I said the manual mode doesn't work either.
I am going to try k9 for now..
Sent from a pizza
Okay, I think the problem might be elsewhere: the k9,same as mail doesn't seem to sync either. I have tried this over wifi and data, in power settings the sleep mode is disabled, I even disabled power saver.
Does email synchronization works for anyone excepting gmail users?
I am going to enable gmail, see how that behaves with sync..
Sent from a pizza
Manual mode as in your in the mail app and request it to refresh? And the email still doesn't come through? Not sure then.. I used smart sync for a while then I found it to not update fast enough for my needs. But it did always work.

The mail app syncs over wifi, I found out. Yes, it took a while (set it up to check at 5 minutes.). However, it still doesn't work when screen is off.
While on data only, the whole sync is very conservative. Unless I open up myself the mail thing it doesn't bother to refresh. In fact, the only thing synchronizing over data is weather from BW widget, but even then I am afraid it only refreshes itself when opening the screen. Ah, and Google play, I get notifications over mobile data as well.
I mean I used to want this conservative data behavior when on 100mb data plan, however now I have 3gb to spend and having trouble with email notifications?
I suspect there might be a misbehaving app will try reinstalling everything and one app at a time..
