constant facebook inbox notifications

Hello

I am getting constant notifications about a message in my facebook inbox. These notifications are not limited to this app in that the official facebook app also gives me these notifications. Same times the number of new messages reported by the app and the official app don't even match up. The problem is when I check the inbox I do not have any new messages then I had before. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
[Android Apps and Games] bsktballstar3131:
lately the past couple of days whenever I get notifications and try to open the app it keeps saying that permissions changed or something like that and opens up my browser (my backup action). it didn't use to do this before and idk why its happening. how can I fix this? I tried logging out and logging back in and that didn't work.

I have this issue too, same as you. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
I am having the same issues as others are reporting: opening a notification generates an error and as a result your backup option is opened.

I am running andriod 2.3.3 via aospcm720110302

My phone is a HTC Hero from Sprint

Also when the notifications show up I get a circular load animation for the user's pic
[Android Apps and Games] odub303:
The error when you click on a notification within Flow says "unable to get valid post information from Facebook" and goes on to say something about the post being private or removed. Flow then opens my the backup option, which for me is the mobile site, which says "The page you requested is not found." To me, this seems like clicking the notification in Flow links to page that doesn't exist, so there may be an error in the notification coding within Flow that points to the wrong location.

same problem here

on ideos u8150 rom 2.2.1 seppia v3

maybe FB change the API
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Same issue as the above.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Just curious, is the developer still developing for this application?
[Android Apps and Games] bsktballstar3131:
theres an update today when I checked and it looks like its fixed. when I try searching for friends though, its been taking forever so I just switch to the regular facebook app.

edit: but that's only for that instance right now, I use this app for basically everything lol.

whoa just went on the market and its $2.10! guess i was late :)
[Android Apps and Games] malavan:
this apps is getting worse now I can not even log in.after update

n1 cm7.
[Android Apps and Games] quaff:
Just tried downloading the app, can't log in either.
[Android Apps and Games] Omnichron:
Thanks. Trying out the lite version before I take the plunge and buy the paid version. :)
[Android Apps and Games] KarlosTheJackal:
This is a great app & personaly has replaced the official Facebook app (apart from contact syncing)

There is one thing the Facebook app has that I wish this did, A Widget. This would make this app just perfect if it had one! (Even better if you could customise it as well! ;))
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
How do you guys handle friend requests?

Flow processes the email notification as expected, but no popup or notification is shown and there doesn't seem to be a place for this in the app.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Anyone can login with the new version?
[Android Apps and Games] nivron:
The newest paid version is working flawlessly for me. I also logged out/in under the Preferences screen with no issues.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Did you reinstall or just update?
[Android Apps and Games] nivron:
I had just updated. But I removed the app and re-installed. That prompted me to login (as expected). That also worked.

Version 3.3.0.1 is in the market -- says it fixes "Alternate Login". Have you tried using the alt login?
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
This isn't a major issue but are other people noticing that the profile pic for the person generating the notification not displaying on the notification popup?
[Android Apps and Games] nivron:
Just another FYI

In the last two days, I have done fresh (no restoring data or apps from TB) installs of both CM7 and EViO 2 1.8. Flow worked fine with both.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Just to let you know, the best way to keep up to date with progress on the app is by following me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/flowforfacebook

You'll also get notification of new releases via it. :D
[Android Apps and Games] cjmillisock:
Awesome brah! Gonna try this app for a few days and then buy it the full version if I like it. So far so good!
[Android Apps and Games] chewlee78:
Does "flow for facebook" enable the places function in those countries that yet to support it?
[Android Apps and Games] CosmicDan:
Hey, just wanted to share - I have been using Flow for months, and it just gets better and better. The developer is so quick to fix bugs and add new features (even requests) and it is without a doubt worth every cent for the full version. Glad to see it get exposure on XDA news, hopefully more will buy it and it will get even more awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] CheesyNutz:
flow is pretty good only thing im missing is to sync contacts :D but even with out that ill still use it !
[Android Apps and Games] surgeon:
Chat

Any possibility of chat? Will re-download immediately then :D
[Android Apps and Games] chareos12:
My hottest desired two features are contacts sync and a friends status&links widget. (I used to have colorize widget but that's a battery killer.)
[Android Apps and Games] dobroezlo:
Interesting application, but "Gmail" refresh type is broken.

After enabling it on my SGS this morning, I lost 15% of battery in like an hour and my phone was VERY hot. according to battery monitoring app, gmail app was using 50% of my battery.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
The push via gmail notifications work perfectly for me, I love it. My email notifications are quickly marked read and archived and a nice simple popup notification is displayed. It actually SAVES me battery too since the official FB app doesn't need to poll.
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
I have similar problems with gmail, watchdog app gives gmail service at constant 50-60 % of cpu usage. Please fix this, otherwise very nice app, bought it for lameness of official FB app.

EDIT I have resolved the problem with high cpu usage of gmail service. You need to enable email archiving under gmail settings in app and everything works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] yuhenyo:
Can this do everything that the official facebook app can do? if i install this, can I delete the official facebook app?
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
I can't think of anything that this can't do that the official Facebook app can do other than chat, but I use Beejive anyway as it's free and uses a tonne less battery than the official Facebook app as well as properly utilising C2dm so you never miss a message. The official app constantly signs you in when you don't want to be signed in, drains your battery and on the whole doesn't work very well. The only thing is that because of Facebooks API Flow is unable to access messages directly. The app instead opens up the web for this particular function. I can think of lots of things this app does that the official app doesn't, and the developer is constantly updating. As an example, yesterday an update was released with various additions (including people search) but it crashes the app on my HD2 when I set it to default to the news screen on opening. I tweeted the develop and within an hour a fix was out.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
Does deleting instead of archiving have the same effect?
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Try it, I never delete anything from my mailbox ;=)
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
To be honest I'm not even sure what 'archiving' does.
[Android Apps and Games] zerkai:
How's the contact photo sync on this? The official "facebook for android" app stores pixelated/ stretched photos. opposed to the stock facebook sync my phone came with, it stores "fitted"photos that fits the phonebooks contact box. Except during calls, you can tell the photo sync stored low resolution pictures on the caller id. It looks like an ugly upscale.

How is it on this app?

I897. XDA App- fin!
[Android Apps and Games] Th30n34nd0nl7:
I would really like it if it was in german and not that ugly :/ Beside this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] dullknives:
i did a quick search and came up empty - what exactly are the 'extra options and extra functions' the paid version has over the free version?

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] leadfoot9281:
i agree with above. what are the perks to going paid? i just starting using the free version today and i love the fact i am actually notified now lol. chat is not a deal breaker for me, i could care less about the feature honestly but would be nice to have it just as good as the free facebook app before its paid for. i will buy even if it is just a donate version as this is awesome work and i know its not easy, but would like to know what to expect in the paid one.
[Android Apps and Games] grungbuk:
Well from just using the app I figured what the paid app does is delete or archive the emails that you get from facebook which it uses for notifications

Other than that idk

Well besides give you a great app that will get updates cause he's not doing it for free

[Android Apps and Games] ChiefmasterB:
Yea.. I would also like to know how to sync contact photos with Flow.

Can´t find it in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] MilkPudding:
Sweet.

I don't know why the official app still sucks but I don't care now. Lol.
[Android Apps and Games] smokin901:
Thanks will try
[Android Apps and Games] nalakrub:
Mine has been kind of buggy after the update. Hope a fix is coming soon... Lots of FC's that weren't happening before.
[Android Apps and Games] CheesyNutz:
needs a better widget imho and i would be a happy camper !
[Android Apps and Games] nivron:
I'm not getting the FCs, but when scrolling through more than two or three pages of the News Feed, it goes back to the main menu.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
A memory leak fix came out today. Have you installed it?
[Android Apps and Games] nivron:
I installed it this morning, but haven't had the need to scroll through many pages of News Feed yet. :) I'll repost if the issues continue.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
I've found that completely reinstalling the app after an update solves any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] nalakrub:
Does that mean you'd have to uninstall the paid app and then buy it again? How does that work - never uninstalled a paid app that I've wanted to reinstall...
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
You never have to pay for a paid app again, even if you change devices. If you still have problems tweet the dev at @flowforfacebook
[Android Apps and Games] nalakrub:
Sweet - thanks. Never knew that... Never tried!

Going to wait for 3.5.2 today to uninstall and reinstall. So far, it's been well worth it. I encourage all of my Android user friends to skip the free one and drop a couple of bucks for the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
V3.5.2 will be out tonight lots of bug fixes, general improvements and Photo Captions when uploading ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] Mark-Ryden:
Nice app,trying it out!

I found a mistake in the Translation to german,App says "Du gefällt das" but the right Translation is "Dir gefällt das".

I Dont know its a bug or depents of my crappy 2.2,when i Scroll thru the Friend list,the app makes a Force Close.

Sorry about my bad english :S
[Android Apps and Games] nalakrub:
Still, hands down, the best FB app out there and has a ton of features that my wife is jealous of (iPhone 4), but I still get FC's when looking at some pics. It appears that pics in albums that were uploaded to fb are no problem, but when it's a shared pic from somewhere else on a friend's wall, it FC's when I try to view. Very minor issue, but something I thought should be voiced.

Other than that, I have no complaints! Flow f__king RULES!
[Android Apps and Games] goodlookscooks:
Excellent app.... WAY!! better than the official facebook app... good job!!!
[Android Apps and Games] dullknives:
i haven't upgraded yet but the market is showing version 3.6 is available now. also the dev's blog is saying there are some issues and a fix is being worked on.

"Looks like some people are still having problems with #flowforfacebook. Fix will be out soon (hopefully) 1 hour ago

What about a setting for quiet hours. So we don't get notifications in the middle of the night. But I love that we actually get notified now lol.

[Android Apps and Games] srkmagnus:
I stumbled across this app yesterday after doing a quick search for Bloo, which was a good Facebook alternative until it stopped being supported by the Developer. Flow has just what the official facebook app is missing. It's also good to see the Developer regularly supporting it; I'll be purchasing the paid version very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] SxcKieranGrr:
As soon as I get paid on Friday I'm buying this. Only thing is would say is when I hit messages of sends me to the official facebook app messages. Perfect apart from that.
[Android Apps and Games] acrossy:
It does sound like a very nice Facebook APP! Defenetly going to get this 1! Now if only the Dev could make the Chat mode also avalable... I'm sure his sales would sky rocket :D

The best all-in-1 Facebook APP on the market... it does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? :D
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
I really don't think the dev is that interested in adding chat. There are apps out there - such as Beejive for Facebook which work great....what is the big deal with adding chat? Beejive uses server-side login and C2dM so I leave it logged in all day with minimal battery hit; for Flow to have the same quality of chat experience would demand expensive server setup and a good deal of time. So what's the point? Someone please tell me. The fact that Facebook - with all their money - have been unable to effectively integrate chat within their app says it all really.

So just use Beejive and let the dev concentrate on more important features first!
[Android Apps and Games] acrossy:
Good and fair point! I'm just deeply hoping i could find a true "all-in-1" you see :) But yeah by the way... speaking of FBchat... still no chat app out there that has menaged to integrate the "Group Chat" mode yet? for your groups i mean.

Edited: Thanks for the Beejive Suggestion! Seems to have pretty good reviews and also has a free FBchat only mode! Saves time on multi accounts setup :D Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
I like to see Facebook chat and Facebook as two seperate entities. I much prefer chat on Beejive to using even a PC!

My priorities would be that the dev tweak the look of the app to make it more sexy and sort out issues such as user albums and photos not showing up and info column being blank.

The notifications popup is the most fantastic Facebook app device I've seen. Can't think of any other app on any platform that has a quick reply feature!
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
Has anyone had a problem with the Captivate when in both WIFI and 3G coverage the phone will not download or open a webpage? If I shut off one or the other it works but if both are active it hangs up and doesnt download.
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
Is this by chance on an enterprise wifi access point? Such as one of those expensive cisco APs you find in schools and enterprise class networks? If so, there is currently a driver problem with the captivate connecting to it, but not trasnfering data. Whether the netwrok is encrypted or open doesnt seems to matter. Personally, I find this a bigger problem than the GPS issue. I had to use wifi static to manually set IP, subnet, etc. This is a workaround, not a fix.
[Captivate General] wildkarrde21:
Hey, I think I'm running into this issue at my workplace (we definitely use those Cisco APs, I see them all around). I'm connected, I have an IP, but I can't browse anywhere.

Here's the weird thing though: I can connect to the company's wifi in any other building (I guess different APs?) than the one I'm in and wifi works fine. It's just the building my cubicle's in that doesn't work and it's infuriating!
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
well thats dumb.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I had that happen once since I bought the phone on launch. I restarted my phone and it went away.
[Captivate General] shoeboxin:
I've had this problem as well, usually my phone switches to only wifi pretty quickly though, so I don't notice much. The phone acts like it is using the 3G connection because the arrows are both indicating data coming and going, but nothing actually happens unless only one or the other is on.
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
i need to check this at more places but at home i have a standard dlink dl-624 router with no security over comcast. i think my issue initially was because of the wifi sleep policy (see below) but now i am just getting really really slow speeds. pages seem to load slower than 3G....(i mean really cinemaxHD is showing last of the mohicans in pan and scan)....also the pages time out very very frequently.....

Anyone having problems check out the advanced setting for wifi. The phone has a WIFI sleep policy. my default setting was to disconnect from wifi after the screen locks. my screen locks after 30 seconds. so basically it always looking for my network. you can change it to never.
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
I want to reiterate our findings again. There are multiple threads on other forums concerning this as well. When it comes to wifi, the captivate has a major problem. DHCP does not work on enterprise networks. Period. It is a driver issue. The network can be open or using any form of encryption, the results are thr same. I had numerous software, hardware and network analyst tackling this issue all week in my department. It is related in part to most enterprise networks not using a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. There is a workaround, but it is not a fix. You can either set a static from your static pool of ip's in wifi settings, or, if u connect to multiple networks, use wifi static from the market to remember and apply seperate static configs accross multiple networks which is what were having to do currently. This affects all captivates, one which we consider a major problem with deploying this phone to our other users.
[Captivate General] floppy__:
I had the same problem and this is how a turn around the problem when I'm connected but cannot browse.

-Use Wifi Static

- DNS from google 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

- switch to airplane mode

- activate wifi

- test my conection (open the browser and surf)

- switch to phone mode

Hope it help
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
Did this, Wifi Static was being used previously to bypass dhcp, and it correctly assigned the IP settings, used the static I assigned from our static pool of addresses. Still no data transfer over Cisco APs at work. :mad:
[Captivate General] floppy__:
are you able to access a website thru his IP address? in this case it's a DNS problem, try the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
Its hit or miss really, seems the wifi radio stack locks up and stops responding according to our trace logs. yes i have tried both our internal DNS server's as well as googles. Everywhere else works perfectly. But at work with our Cisco open (no security) APs, it doesnt work most of the time. Through whos ip address??? I have a static set from our static pool to make sure dhcp was not the culprit. Its def the device, and not my netwrok. I have over 100 of these APs deployed here.

Wifi works great everywhere else (at home with WPA2, etc). There is def a problem with enterprise cisco APs.

Netmask issue and cisco AP's

Make sure your netmask is correct.
[Captivate General] skorch:
Thanks jhannaman82

I just wanted to give a big thanks to jhannaman82 for posting his company's findings with these wifi issues. My wifi works 100% at home on my linksys tomato router (of course, with a netmask 255.255.255.0). But on my college campus they use an enterprise router setup with 255.255.0.0 and I have been going NUTS trying to figure out if it is my captivate or the network.

I can sometimes get a few minutes of working connection, but it always seems to crap out within 1 or 2 minutes.

I will attempt to fiddle around with switching the dhcp to static IP, and will post my results. Thanks!

edit: no luck with static IP fiddling so far. from my laptop (connected wirelessly), I gathered that the netmask is actually 255.255.248.0... when I set my captivate's netmask to anything other than 255.255.0.0, it does not connect. It says "connected" when I set the netmask to 255.255.0.0, but as usual no data will transfer (it seems). I'm at a loss. *shrug* Hopefully there's a driver update or something.
[Captivate General] santblue:
Thanks jhannaman82!

I just wrote a script with the GScript app: "ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0", and have a shortcut on homescreen. The problem was that the netmask was wrongly set to 255.255.0.0 on my office wifi. Now all I need to do is tap on this shortcut at office, and the connection works!
[Captivate General] MiniGui:
Has anyone contacted Samsung about this ?
[Captivate General] DirtyRasa:
I'm hoping this gets fixed soon... This refuses to stay connected at my school. Huge pain.

I entered in an IP address and 255.255.252.0 for my netmask after seeing what it was on my computer and turn on flight mode and tested the wifi and now it's working. I'm not sure if it's just one of those fluke connections that I get... but we'll see.

So I've been struggling to find ways to stop my phone from roaming even though I'm on my carrier towers and I'm within my zone, I'm throwing a suggestion out there and I'm hoping for some expert advice.

Could I use root explorer on my rooted x10a to find the file where the expectation is set for my network? Is there such thing?

I think that I'm way off track but it's an attempt and I'm really desperate.

Phone origin: Rogers network

Unlocked: Yes

Fido SIM in phone: Yes

On Fido network: Yes

Rooted: Yes
[XPERIA X10 General] tjex:
Not sure, might want to ask the Dev forum instead. But saying this, I'm running on Fido and it doesn't show up as roaming. Maybe updating your phone might help?
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
What should I upgrade to? I'm already on 24.

How old is your sim card? I hear that older SIM cards are the issue. Mine is 6 years old.
[XPERIA X10 General] tjex:
My sim card is 4 years old, I do have an older one but it's not associated with a number anymore so can't test it for you.

Borrow a sim card from a fried to test? Or go down to your local Fido store and ask them if they have a sim you can test. If that works, getting a new sim card is pretty easy, but not free :(

Though I don't think it could be the sim card. What are your settings for the access point?
