Where do I complain about the facebook app.?

sitlet · Mar 20, 2011

Huh? What do you need to complain about? If you are having a problem, post it here and we can help.

Otherwise, you would need to contact the app's developer, which is Facebook. Good luck with contacting them...

Well I switched from an old BB 8330 to an LG Optimus V and with the Facebook app from the BB App World when enabling "push", I recieved all of my notifications when they were posted. The version I got from the Android Market doesnt do anything. I have to physically go to FB to get my notifications. Or is there something wrong with my phone/service?

Why waste your time on the facebook app? Just use your browser. When I got my EVO, I couldn't stand the onboard FB app, so I just used the browser and haven't looked back. Go to facebook, and scroll down to the FB mobile site link, bookmark it, no problem.

The whole reason I got an Android phone is because of the App capabilities.
Without all the apps and capabilities these phones make no sense. I loved my BB but it got confused and froze too much. The apps worked better, as did the apps on my iTouch. I understand that this is not either of those and these phones are great, but come on they could be so much better if you turn the phone on and see a little number next to your email inbox, or your FB app. Its a convenience feature that all who had it will always miss!

Do you have android 2.2? I recall seeing that you need 2.2+ to have PUSH notifications from Facebook.

You should still be able to set it to sync automatically though, right?

If your phone has android 2.2, the facebook app WILL push notifications to your device. Just hit menu-settings in the facebook app, and enable the notifications you want.

The other way around this, is to enable email notifications. You will have to go to facebook on a pc browser, go to yout account settings, and enable the notifications you want to be emailed to you. Send the notifications to your gmail address, that way they will be pushed to the phone within a few seconds.

Android can do this. Just add a widget to the facebook app, email app, or messaging app, instead of an app shortcut. Also, any notifications you get are always up in the notification bar, thats what it's there for.

My phone stock has 2.2 and I have the notifications set on the settings in the app. But I never get any notices.

if it works for everyone else why not me?

Try uninstalling it, and reinstalling it. Or use the email notifications like i mentioned.

Push notifications with FB app have been messed up for a LONG TIME now......I rarely get push notifications using a HTC Incredible. Some say it works....most say it doesn't and to wait for an update. It sucks..I hate it.

BORIStheBLADE · Mar 23, 2011

Yes the FB app has sucked for a while. The notifications worked for a while, but with the latested update it stopped working.

To top it off I can't delete FB from my incredible. I can only delete update... :mad:

Try deleting yours... Im running 2.2.

I'm guessing these are Facebook development issues, but figured I'd check with the GP... it's certainly possible there is something I need to fix or change...

2 issues with FBMobile (may be the same issue):

1) This a.m. I was tagged in a post. When I opened FBmobile the post was in my news feed. I repsonded to it. Closed FB app. 5 minutes later re-opened FB app and that thread is no longer on my newsfeed... WTH? Why wouldn't a thread you were tagged in AND responded to stay in your newsfeed?

2) When I open FBMobile it opens to the newsfeed. Back button once gets you to the "main" screen where it shows notifications. Over the past few weeks 3 out of four times the notification says 2 (as in 2 new notifications) but the list of notifications ends with one from February 23rd. The other 1 out of 4 times it actually shows the correct # of new notifications and history list is correct...

Any one else have any issues similar to this? Thoughts on correcting or is this just an FB deal?

Thanks
