Hey Guys! Just got my IPhone 3GS Tuesday & I love it! The only thing I hate or cant figure out is how to get my FaceBook Push Notification to work! I have the push turned on, the Shake to Reload is off! Any suggestions?
I would suggest uninstalling and re installing and hopefully it will work. The first time i installed it, it was working fine. I just reinstalled it not too long ago(went to blackberry then back to iphone again) and i don't receive notifications like i used to.
i have had nothing but issues with the push notifications from the actual facebook app itself. i purchased the boxcar service for it, but its kinda hit and miss sometimes too for some reason. the best solution is just to use email. i send it to my mobile me so i get push kinda whenever anyone does anything on my facebook acct. but like navi said, it wont tell you what they are responding to, and that can get kinda confusing sometimes. lol
I will say this, and this is mainly because I've been testing with Boxcar. If a notification comes in on your Facebook account (online), and the RED icon is NOT showing in Facebook, i.e. in the notifications section etc, etc, the iPhone app, nor Boxcar will give a PUSH. Sometimes the RED notification on the Facebook website does not show till hours later...
A lot of the time Facebook will get new comments\updates to post\status' etc, BUT, it NEVER updates the notification section of Facebook (online), thus again the lack of notification on iPhone\Boxcar...
The reason the BlackBerry works so well is because it's using your email notifcation, and since that is virtually instant, you always get notifications...
As an alternative, you could turn your email notifications on. Then again, who wants to do that, it's only Facebook after all
