I must say I got push notifications to work by logging into my facebook on my mums blackberry then logging off. Maybe thats whay I still get the notifications? Wish I could help mate but if you know someone with a blackberry then try the idea posted above
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
Yes I did that trick with the blackberry emulator like 4 months, ago, and it worked just fine till the last update. I've since tried to revert to an older facebook apk, and redo the blackberry simulator trick, but they still won't get back on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminvld:
So...refresh interval slould be "never" and notifications "on", ok?

That's my options in facebook aplication. I deleted app data in setting, but still no push working.

If anybody have a solution, please help.

Thank you...

This is what I've done:

Delete data and cache for Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Go Facebook Widget

Uninstall Go Facebook Widget, Facebook Messenger and Facebook

Reboot phone

Install Facebook v1.8.0 (which used to work for me). Leave Facebook Messenger and Go Facebook Widget uninstalled for now.

Set notifications to YES, refresh to never

Send my facebook account a private message from my gf's fb account, no notification

Reboot phone

Send my facebook account a private message from my gf's fb account, no notification

Log off facebook, clear cache and data, open the blackberry simulator, log in facebook from it, navigate a min around in it, log off facebook from the emulator.

Log back in facebook from the Galaxy S2.

Send my facebook account a private message from my gf's fb account, no notification

Reboot phone

Send my facebook account a private message from my gf's fb account, no notification

Turn Facebook for Blackberry Messenger on from my desktop browser in the Application Settings -> Notifications -> Other applications

Send my facebook account a private message from my gf's fb account, no notification

Turn Facebook for Blackberry Messenger off from my desktop browser in the Application Settings -> Notifications -> Other applications

Send my facebook account a private message from my gf's fb account, no notification

Give up, untill I get a notification that my gf sent me an actual private message in facebook. Only thing is, when I opened it from the app it said "message sent 16 min ago"... So much for PUSH notifications...

@sewe: can you please post the exact sequence that we should try? I wanna be 100% sure to do the one that you are suggesting....

In the emulator i disabled notifications and logged out, logged in again and turn notifications on in the emulator, after that it worked

While still retaining the previous setup (v1.8.0 on the Galaxy etc), I logged on the simulator, turned off notifications, logged off, logged on, turned notifications on, logged off. Then I logged my gf fb on my desktop pc, sent me a pm and tagged me in a post, 3 minutes ago and counting, still nothing...

New tests:

push update app from inside facebook, download v1.8.2 from the market

clear data and cache, reboot phone

meanwhile it reboots from the desktop Manage Account -> Notifications -> Other Applications -> Tick Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones

log back inside Facebook app, turn off periodic check, notifications, sound and vibration etc all ticked

home key to hide facebook

write me a pm from my gf's account, no notification

open facebook app after a few min and no notification, get the notification of the new message as I open the app, this time the notification icon is the new, gray one, instead of the usual blackberry ones I was used to

home key out of the fb app

send me a pm

5 min, no notification yet

Last test:

clear cache and data

open simulator, turn off notifications, log off. log on, turn on notifications, log off.

open facebook app, turn off periodic check, make sure notifications etc are on. meanwhile i get the notification of the "new" pm which i sent before, the icon is still the new gray one even though I redid the blackberry trick.

open the unread message, press home to tab out of it

send me a message from my gf account, no notification untill I reopen the app

I give up

I don't realy understand what I should do.

First, I have to download the BB Simulator from blackberry webpage, correct?

Then, loged in on my Samsung facebook account, I should logg my facebook account in Simulator=>disable notifications=>logg out in Simulator=>logg in and enable notifications?

Am I saying right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you...

Here it is explained pretty well, mind you thought, ever since 1.8.2 it stopped working for me, and it can't be reactivated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoy4490:
1.8.2 makes Push not work for me neither ...what a shame ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminvld:
It works in latest version!

Here is what I've done:

1. I've downloaded BlackBerry 9350 Simulator from here http://swdownloads.blackberry.com/D...&dl=E5B3E775A25E1C31AC2EA1CAA9CB96C9&check1=A in section "alternate download" and installed it.

2. I've cleared "cache" and then "data" in my S2 Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications.

3. Logged in facebook account in PC.

4. Logged in facebook account in BB Simulator, and then logg out.

5. Logged in facebook account in my S2.

6. In PC facebook, near "Home" button, I pressed the down arrow, and then "Account Settings".

7. In the left side of the panel, press "Mobile"

8. Remove phone number, and activate again with the same number.

That's all, push works like a charm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
I didnt try step 7 and 8, I'm trying to, but after removing my cell number, it asked me to send an sms to get the new code, but I've not received any reply since 3 hours 20 min ago...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminvld:
Send again the sms, the code should arrive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
I've selected Italy -> Tim, sent two sms with F and two with f (you never know...). Nothing. Selected Italy -> Vodafone, 4 sms, nothing. The other options I'm not allowed to send sms to. My carrier H3G isnt on the selectable list... LOL I'm pretty lucky about this situation ahah
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminvld:
I don't know...try to clear again the cache/data from your phone, and then send again the "F" sms... Maybe you're lucky this time. :)

Tried... oh well, a good night's sleep will do for today... Thanks for the info though, I hope facebook would shape up, it's ridiculous that nothing works.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Must be something happening as to why it works for some people (including myself) and why it doesn't work for others. Mine were still working at 1am this morning when I got my last wall message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
On the official post on facebook itself there are hundreds of people claiming that the last update broke their notifications. The fact that rolling back the client version to the apk that used to work for me didnt solve the issue would point to something "server side". Actually, I'm not that shocked to see that I'm not receiving the sms to re-register my phone number in facebook either.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
I've sent many sms to receive the code to re-registed my phone, but I've not received the code back. I've input my phone number on their page to verify and register it, but I've not received the code back. I must conclude that it's their servers being dire, not a client side issue that we can resolve.

EDIT: my phone was previously registered, I deleted it and wanted to re-register it because apparently it fixed push notifications to some, therefore it's not like my provider isn't supported or anything, I registered my phone and had push notifications till last week just fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastobadness:
No push notifications here as well galaxy s2! My problems didn't start when I updated 1.8.2. They just started spontaneously. But here's the weird thing, my wife has an iPhone 4 and she mentioned that her FB notifications have stopped working also, so maybe it is a server side problem and no amount of tweaking the app will help!

I've tried everything the BB the notifications !! FFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

the push notifications worked for a cuople of days and afrte .. STOP....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
I have noticed one thing. I don't get notifications anymore if I get a private message, but I did get the push notifications for "a friend invited you to an event" stuff. Ofc I have both those and messages set as ON in the fb app, so it's not a misconfiguration from my part.

Can you guys without notifications tell me if you don't get private message notifications, but you get event invitation ones?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
I'm pretty sure that it's a server side issue, which is why

I get push notifications for some stuff (event invitation) and not for other stuff (private messages).

It didn't happen to everyone, and to those that it did, it didn't happen exactly right after v1.8.2 was released

I can't get facebook to (re)send the phone registration code to my phone via the sms. I did register my phone in the past, and I've read that deleting the phone under Mobile and re register it fixed notifications to some, so I went ahead with it, but it won't send me the confirmation code sms. Note that I did register it in the past, therefore it's not like my provider isn't supported by this fb feature or anything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
Update:

I received 3 private messages in push since last night. I didn't change anything. All of those 3 messages were actually received on facebook 1 exact hour before I got the push notification on my phone. Oh, ofc I have disabled periodic checks

Update 2:

I've received a push notification of a private message just now, the message was sent 13 min ago, so it looks like they are "improving" the service on their end... sigh

Out of curiosity, have you switched to facebook timeline?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmarinos:
My FB profile timeline went live on Wednesday (around the same time my notifications stopped). It changed to timeline by default, not my choice and FB warned me it was going live on the 8th. Perhaps its all related?

I did notice I got one event notification, but that's all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
I haven't moved to timeline yet, therefore I'd exclude this issue being related to it. In the past day I've received some private message notifications, although they were between 13 and 30 minutes late. I have re-done the blackbarry emulator thing, but the notifications use the v1.8.2 darker icons, not the lighter ones that they used to when I activated them via the blackbarry emulator a while ago. Also, just for completeness sake, atm I have FB but nothing else, no Messenger, no FB Go Launcher Widget.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] focamonca:
EVERYTHING has return TO WORK PERFECTLY!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayne1010:
I can confirm that. Push notifications are working brilliantly again :). HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastobadness:
Still nothing here.

Did they just start working on their own? Hopefully FB have started fixing things their end!

From PALM PRE to GALAXY S2. From HOPE to RELIEF!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayne1010:
Yes for me they returned without changing anything. I have the latest 1.8.2 installed. It is definitely push. The notification appears about 2 seconds after sending the message (from my girlfriend's account), my refresh intervall in the fb app being on 'never'.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
Same here, they started working again around 24h ago, nothing done on my part, so yeah, we got that right, it was fb's server side **** up.

Nothing, it's working perfectly using the Teamhacksung CM9 alpha. It's beautiful. I wouldn't swap an iPhone 4S for it, but any other model (even an iPhone 4, probably) yes I would.

(I did the same as you, I managed to swap my HTC Desire for a Galaxy S a month ago - it runs Ice Cream Sandwich beautifully - cos it's so similar to a Nexus S)

thanks just one or two more people to confirm that a galaxy s i better than an 3gs and i will swap it i did have a htc wildfire but is was just too slow and now i think that my 3gs is too slow just need more speed vrum vrum

[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Just for anyone's sake, here's my opinion:

If you are looking for something "like" the iPhone 3GS but "Faster", get an iPhone 4 or 4S. Personnaly, I hate the iOS and the way it's closed to everything BUT the mighty apple, but still, if you like the way they are, well, it's the only thing that "is" an iPhone

But if you like something you can mold, play with, set as you like. Well, the Galaxy S is the best of it's generation. Pretty easy to root and to cusromise, easy and well built rom, amazing display, fast CPU and GPU, the only thing better than SGS is the Nexus S, but it's still the same hardware so it's only a software related "better"!

Anyway, please post your feedback!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zennmoto:
You can do everything you want on SGS.is practically unbrickable[no matter what you do you still have a backdoor called 'download mode' to undo your phone.apps are free.on the other hand on iphone you have to set every site for apps and of course..a noob in iphones can totally screw it.(sorry for my bad english)

So I'll put it straight, I've let my Galaxy Gio fall in a bowl of milk and the USB port has stopped working ever since (connecting the mobile to windows gives the "Unknown Device" error) is there any way to fix this without sending it in for repairs?

anyways, i'm on shadow kernel right now, i've never really used it before, but i'm tempted to flash back to samurai. just because, right now probably isn't the best time to test it, because i won't know if my phone is reacting to things differently due to shadow kernel orrr being on mtd. so, is there anyone who's tested both and can offer me an opinion?

I've had that problem on and off with this phone. It just seems to start and stop, and I've read others complain of the same thing. When mine was acting up the only way I could read files with my PC was to boot into recovery amd mount my USB storage. Give that a try. Also, make sure you have switched rom manager to use your new mtd recovery instead of the bml recovery -which it will do by default if you do not make the changes manually.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggettBeaver:
I've had that and related problems on my PC. One really strange problem has to do with iTunes. Sometimes I can't mount the sdcard when iTunes is running. Sometimes if I have my phone in USB Debug and connected (but no sdcard mounted), iTunes simply will not start. I have to unplug the phone for a few seconds for iTunes to start, and then plug it back in again. Less frequently, some other programs refuse to start up when I have my phone plugged in (one being Anime Studio Pro). There's no obvious explanation for this behavior. And don't get me started on the conflicts between the phone and my Wacom Bamboo touch pad.

Personally, I think it's all about the Samsung USB driver being a piece of sh*t.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMRL:
Do you guys think the ICS update will make the interface of our Arc look like the one of Xperia S?

Because I was watching some demos and it looks incredible :eek:, especially the music player is way better than the stock one on Arc. I noticed that a certain user called FlamEmo managed to port the Xperia S theme to Arc, and it seems to be working alright, other than some bugs, so I assume there would be no problem such as "Arc is not powerful enough" or stuff like that, so SE really has no excuse not to give that interface (or an improved version of it, since XS has 2.3.7 right now) to every 2011 Xperia phone with ICS.

And my second question, can you tell me exactly what happens if you unlock the bootloader? And by that I mean, which features are lost, which limitations are introduced as soon as you unlock it?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Velcis Ribeiro:
Unlocking bootloader you will lose warranty, erase some sectors, hability to set custom kernels...

And yes, ICS will be equal to Xperia S, but when SE release and official rom, or XDA guys exchange a new ROm :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMRL:
About the bootloader unlock, I meant if it would cause me to lose some functionality on stock apps and stuff like that. I've heard the music widget, TrackID and some other stuff stops working if you unlock. Where can I find a complete list of things that stop working or change when you unlock the bootloader? I want to know because I'd like to try CM but obviously I can't without unlocking.

Also, if they really improve upon the S theme and bring it to every Xperia with ICS, that would be seriously awesome. Have they officially commented about that?
