One thing which has been bugging me is the I never get notifications from my phone (in the notification bar of phone) when I get notifications in the facebook app. My phone doesnt buzz, make a sound nothing. Is this just with me or is there something wrong?? in the app settings I enable all sorts lf notification vibratin etc but It never works. My freind has a HTC Desire and his phone notifies him! Is there a solution?

add your FB to accounts and sync. You can do this either from Settings>accounts and sync> add account or from the app itself.
Cheers.

So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

just flashed the latest darkside from, after about ten minutes fb pics started showing up by my contacts
Hercules was here
I just downloaded the friendcaster app and that seemed to work great. Thanks.
If anyone knows of another way to sync contacts please post.

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

I just tried that app last night and it worked good. All my contact pics are synced and I don't have to have a big program on my phone.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

Whenever I try to dial someone's number using htc stock dialer, I often receive a message saying "com.android.phone has stopped working. would you like to send report? " and sometimes it happens with people app too. I just did the latest system update but the problem still persists. My phone is unrooted and has stock htc rom. Please help me with the issue.

I have the same problem. My one v is on the latest update(2.09.720.1). This is the only complaint I have with my otherwise awesome phone. :crying:
Does anyone have simlar problems? Is there anything you have done to rectify it?
Yea i thought the problem occurs due to large phone storage(Facebook, Google, twitter ) I have. So i kept only Google and removed everything else, but even that didn't help. Have u tried anything for it?

The dialer seems to work a lot better now. Thanks for that :laugh: . But the contacts storage app takes a lot of time to load and crashes frequently. Can you suggest anything for that?
In my contacts storage, everything except for phone is unchecked but I have still been facing this problem for 3 months now. So frustrated!

Hi folks,
Got the problem above, used to work fine but the notifications don't show anymore... Already logged out, uninstalled and installed updates, cleared cache and also tried the Blackberry workaround... Still no luck...
Any suggestions or ideas I can get the notifications work?
My girlfriend has got the same phone and hers is working fine..
Please advise

mine stopped too around juli 29th, my guess it's a server side issue, it happened before in the past.

Check that Google Talk connects to the Google Servers - you don't need to use it - but all push notifications will stop if Google Talk cannot connect to the Google Servers.

I removed the permissions on facebook (the website) for sense and deleted all data for all 3 friendstream apps, after a while I got one message, unfortunately it was the last messege I had already recieved. I really believe it's a serverside issue. I have seen this before, also with other 3rd party FB widget....

To rule out a push notification (C2DM) issue - you need another app that uses Push Notifications - like Twitter or something.
Got Twitter and that doesn't give any notifications either...
Do you think factory reset will help? Don't want to go through that do formatting, installing apps etc for nothing..

OK - so try the following:
Open Google Talk - Sign Out. Sign back in.
Check Android Settings > Accounts & Sync to see if there is a problem with the Sync service.
Check Auto Sync is switched on - and try toggling it off and back on.
Reboot the phone.
For info - I am getting Tweets and Facebook notifications fine here - so there is nothing wrong with either service.
Check the links above, you might receive some types of notifications but all, it's a confirmed server side error
Ah well guess I'm gonna need to wait till the next update is out...
What I don't understand how my girlfriends phone (which s exactly the same as mine) is working fine with all notifications

I don't know, really....if you check their bug tacker it could be all sorts of issue where messages made from certain apps don't trigger notifications, there are many different types of notifications, some migh work, some might not. I got using facebook via mobile apps (htc, samsung other 3rd party apps)since 2010 and it just happened a few times before and then after a while it will start working again.
If you want it working use the official facebook app, it usually keeps working until the problems are fixed. If you have cleared the data for friendstream and facebook, removed the right of the friendstream app and started over there is nothing more you can do
I am using the official facebook app (came with the phone) and never used friend stream or tweetdeck..
I have done a factory reset and also disabled friendstream but still no notification... Rage !!

This is crazy because my phone I receive notifications from Facebook app and the twitter app it didn't when I got the phone but I disabled all notifications in app and then enabled them
I started to get them I get message notifications and post notifications not had issue since
So this can't be just down to servers its like the phone is refusing them nothing much else I can suggest lol

Is anyone else having problems installing Facebook home on their phone, because everyone says that you can install it on the galaxy note 2, but its not working on mine it says my phone isn't supported?
I'm having the same problem. Thought it was cos I have an N7105 not N7100 but I'm not sure.
Make sure you have updated Facebook app.
Then in the Facebook app, go to settings and check "enable Facebook home"
I tried it for a couple of hours then uninstalled it.
But when I installed it the first time, I made my Nova launcher the default launcher.
That left the facebook home only as a lock screen and nothing else.
I think that as a simple lock screen it works better
