[Q] why am i not getting notifications in fb app - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is it normal that we dont get facebook notifications in wp8 devices or just me...? please dont say enable toasts and tile count cuz its already on... any other way to get notifications???

If you mean from the FB app, some of the notification types don't seem to work even if they are enabled, and not all of them are enabled by default either.

yea same here... androids were faster with notifications, you will get gmail/fb notification before coming to webpage on a computer... wp8 suxx in this area...

I just use the regular explorer and bookmark facebook, I use desktop mode and it's just like on my laptop notifications pop up and it makes the little bubbly sound, everything works fine that way, I simply set up txt notif's & have them set to off if I'm logged in so when I close it I'll get a notification if I recieve a message.

Have you tried the facebook beta app? I don't get much notifications, so I can't tell how responsive it is.

same here, I guess the push message not working well.

go into chomp's settings and turn off notifications.
then go into default android sms and turn off notifications.
go back into chomp and turn on notifications.
this should make it so your g1 only notifies via chomp. however, if you still get multiple alerts for a new sms, one of the envelopes will have a greenish border...this is the notification for chompsms. it looks almost exactly like the default icon, but it has the green color around the envelope thingy.
WOOO
Great! Simple! Easy! Awesome App Finally A Way To Text Without Sliding The Qwerty Out...great Work

I left dgalert installed and turned of notification in chompsms, made sure when asked which to use as a default, set chomp as default. Now i get the benefits of chompsms with one notification, just dont get the green envelope.
I kinda wish it wasn't a direct bite of the iPhone Texting module and it was made custom to the G1...its still cool though.
I kinda wish it supported MMS. Except for the better rates on international texting via Chomp, it's fairly useless to me.

Facebook Messages Toast problems

I'm trying to get toast notifications for when I get a facebook message but even though it's enabled in the settings, I still don't get them (this is all when I'm not online on the messaging hub). Anyone else seen this problem before?
If u r not online, how do u expect to get messages?
If u mean u do not get messages, just because u r not IN the hub, then I would have no other idea what might be the problem.
basically for me Facebook chat has been broken for several weeks now. I started on Windows Phone 7.8 and it still happens on Windows Phone 8. I can not get Facebook to reliably deliver me messages to my phone, neither via the messaging hub nor via the facebook app
It's really annoying, I can not get it to work properly.

I'm talking about the official Facebook application. There's an option for Toast notifications for FB Messages but it doesn't work, all the other toast notifications for that app work though.
Sorry, I do not use crappy apps, especially when every basic thing can be done via the Me, or People Hub. So I find the existence of Twitter, FB and these kinda apps redundant. Why the hell would u install things u already have implemented in the OS?
But that is just my opinion...
Sorry, that I cannot help any more.

Do you have an alternate solution to Facebook messages aside from being online on the messaging 24/7?
Negative. Since everything I need from FB is embedded in the system I am in no need of such apps. And any other app that has features that are already a part of the OS itself.

[Q] Notifications for Email

Hi there,
I am pretty new to Windows Phone. So far so good, I really like it. There are a couple of things that are bugging me however. One is that I am missing notifications for new emails. Other app are pushing notifications, however, my email accounts (exchange and IMAP) don't. Is this possible?
Regards
Michael
Under Settings / Ringtones & Sounds you can select the Notification sound for incoming E-Mails. If it is set to none you don't get notified. There are no Toast-Notifications for e-mails though.
Too bad... it was the toast notifications I was looking for. A bit annoying if you have the phone sitting on your desk at work, muted and nothing happens when you get a new email.
Thanks for your answer.

it should vibrate then. That's what my phone does when it's muted.

I disabled vibration because it is annoying for my colleagues as I get a lot of emails.
What is needed is the ability to add custom tones to incoming emails and SMS already, I don't know what the hold up is at Microsoft. The thing is that the default tones that it has all sound the same and are so low that if your to far away you won't hear them.

Touchpad not getting app notifications (FB, Hangouts etc) on CM 10.1

I'm using the latest cm-10.1-20130730-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin and it was freshly installed on a brand new touchpad (i had one sitting in a box for ages(
However, with everything working on it, i find that the notifications don't seem to work.
for eg, i don't get notifications when i get a new fb message or a google hangouts message.
i have to open the app and manually refresh it for it to get the new data.
any ideas on what i can do?

I would go into Settings and take a look at the Accounts. Verify sync is on for the accounts in question.
Could also go into the Apps area as well. I believe there is a show notifications box that you can check
for the two apps.

show notifications is ticked on for both apps already.
it seems that when it's in the lock screen nothing comes through, but when i unlock it, i get a mass of notifications all at once.
almost seems like it's blocking data when the screen is locked but i can't find any power profiles etc to fix this...
any ideas?

Alot of devices and ROMS will have Wifi turn off while sleeping to avoid battery drain.
Go into Advanced settings for Wi-fi and adjust the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep setting.

text notifications very erratic

my email notifications work perfectly, but my text notifications are so erratic that I'm considering returning the thing (& I love it).
Sometimes I get the notification right away, sometimes it comes in 5 minutes after the phone gets it and other times I don't get it at all.
Is there any fix for this??
I got my first text on my watch today since I had the watch last week. I really want to keep it, but I want to see what the possible Google watch will be later. Also for your question try restoring your gear and repairing with phone. I'm sadly sending mine back.
Tapatalk
Reminder if you get a text or email while phone on, you will not get notification through the Gear.

I have had zero issues with text notifications. Make sure you uninstall any other txt messaging apps. When I had gosms installed I didn't get any notifications. Once I uninstalled it, I get perfect notifications.
If you download the nodded SMS a pk you can have texts come in without turning your screen on. This makes texts appear on the watch instantly cause the screen is off.

Download what??
Sorry about that. In the themes and apps section of your note 3s XDA you can download a modded MMS apk so your screen does not turn on when you get a text message
Issue probably is related to the screen turning on when a text arrives, which could be happening from another SMS app you have downloaded.

I'm using the stock messaging.
NVM, I got it working
Can you elaborate.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I find that notifications in generally slow; when they appear (usually within 5mins of appearing on phone). My Pebble is instant

I installed this app and set it to not light the screen on receiving a text, now my text notifications are almost instant.
That is great news. Glad I could help
