Facebook now has Push!

For those that DO have push working, go to Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account. Do you see Facebook there (not "Facebook for HTC Sense) and if you do, does it have a green check mark next to it? If you tap on it, does it do anything? I don't have a green check mark there and when I tap on it nothing happens.
i only have facebook for sense under there. No facebook at all. And everything works for me

Anyone who believes they have push notifications working can you tell us how you know, other than "I am getting notifications faster"?

I do not mean that to be sarcastic, but aside from some of us being rooted, we are all on the same phone running some version of 2.2 (some ROM's are 2.2.1) so you'd think it would be the same on all of our phones.

There are over 1,000 comments on FB since the posting of the release and it seems like 980 of them are people who aside from chat are not getting any different behavior.

Those of you getting push notifications, can we go through the settings on the Facebook app?

Here is what I have, and I'm NOT getting push notifications:

Refresh interval: 2 hours
Notifications: Checked/Active
Messages: Checked
Friend requests: Checked
Event invites: Checked
Vibrate: Not Checked
Phone LED: Checked
Notification ringtone (don't think this matters but whatever): Ascend

New to the forum here today.

My roommate just got his Incredible yesterday and his facebook has push notifications while I do not. I got my Incredible back in August. I upgraded his facebook app and my facebook app at the same time. The reason I know he has push is because if I post to facebook he gets notified within 5 seconds. Where as if he posts to mine I have to use a different program to receive my notifications. Our phones are set the same inside of facebook so I figure it is a facebook problem as to why he gets the push and I dont.

Mine are all the same except mine is 30 minutes and I am getting notifications. I removed my facebook from accounts and just downloaded the app from the market, then turned my phone off for 30 minutes. So far its been 24 hours and I am working great. Chat is ok but I hardly ever do it anyways.

Can you look at the "Accounts & sync" option in the Android menu and see if you guys have any differences? Also, click the "Add account" button and see if the Facebook option (not Facebook for HTC Sense) appears, if it has a green checked circle next to it, etc.

Machelle- are you saying you're getting true PUSH notifications?

*Not directed at you, Machelle*, but I don't know why they'd have interval settings if we're supposedly getting push? Anyone else actually getting push, please chime in....

C'mooonnnnnnnn Facebook.

Definitely getting push notifications - I have noticed them when someone comments on my status update. They must have neglected to change the "Refresh interval" settings choices. Mine is set to "Never", but the item directly below it "Notifications" is set to "Active". Maybe "Never" should be renamed to "Push".

That was my first theory, and it didn't work for me either. I have tried now at NEVER, 30min, 1hour... goose egg.

For those getting pushed notifications, are you just getting pushed notifications from comments on your status? How about for the subsequent comments after you comment on or like someone else's status- or if someone posts on your wall? Anything else?
