Facebook notifications in email on handheld PROBLEM

Hi all,
Been searching here and cannot find the answer...I apologize if I missed something, but been going back and forth through the forums and online...
Updated the Facebook app to latest version (1.8....) when I updated other apps/OS on my phone (8900, OS 4.6.1). Prior to that I think I had downgraded to 1.5 (or 1.6) to be able to upload photos consistently (didn't work with any "newer" version, so went backwards). With that version running...lacked features, but ran fine and photos were uploaded every time (FB started compressing them again, which is why I opted to try the update to 1.8)...my notifications were working properly
gmail account on BB (only email associated with handheld) has FB emails set to skip inbox, mark as read etc. when you view on the web. Notifications came through FB app on BB (red star and alert) just fine, AND were "hidden" in BB messages folder. You could navigate to them, but didn't clutter the inbox.
I am VERY confused about the settings on this 1.8 version. Right now I get notifications on the app (red star, can read through app), BUT they also stay in my gmail inbox on the handheld which obviously takes up a LOT of space and don't want to have to constantly delete them. I do NOT get notified of a new email or anything, but want these hidden as they were in previous version.
I WANT the emails to go to my gmail account they way they had been, I just do not want them to show up on my BB in the gmail inbox. Tried settings in options menu and doing via FB on the web, but can't find the right combination. Only see people with opposite problem of NOT getting notifications through FB app on BB, and I don't want to mess anything up.
Can someone please help and explain what may fix this to go back to hiding the EMAIL version of the notification JUST on the handheld without disabling notifications through the app or with my web email??
Thank you!

So, just because you didn't do that before means it's not a solution now?
Facebook app no longer uses the emails for notifications as it used to. It uses a push api that sends the notifications from facebook directly to the app from Facebook without the use of email.
If you still want the emails from Facebook but don't want them coming to the BB then you need to set a filter on your email setup on the BB so that Facebook emails that arrive in your mailbox do not get forwarded to the handheld. It's a simple setup if you just took a moment to try it.

Facebook Notifications and email notifications on ...

Hi
Is that possible Facebook Notifications and email notifications on sleeping screen nokia 808 like it had on N9..
On my 808 it shows only msgs and miscalls....any fix??
Thanks

not possible unless the app supports that behaviour. but email notifications and on notification lights has been broken on Symbian for a while, and as Symbian is in maintenance mode, is unlikely to see a fix, possibly ever.

Facebook notification and emails

i just recieved the motorola droid 2 today. i previously had the motorola droid. since i have gotten the phone i have not recieved any email notifications for comments and or facebook notifications on the phone for any comments. anyone have any suggestions?

Did you add your Facebook account to the Droid?
I also might add that, if you add your Facebook account to your Droid, it will populate your phonebook with your Facebook friends... NOT COOL! But maybe you will like that.
The best way, IMO, is to NOT add your Facebook account, but instead, go to Market and do a search for a app called AndroidBook. It's a great app for Facebook!

Facebook notifications while using seperate email folders?

I don't use the primary message folder because I like my emails seperate. When I get a Facebook notification via email, it would typically be intercepted by the FB app and would go to the location on the FB app (Like messages or notifications). This doesn't happen anymore when I hid the primary message folder and only used the individual email folders. Is there any way to fix this? It annoys the fact that I can't just quickly click on the folder and see what's up. Now I have to go to the Facebook app itself and look there.
Thanks!

Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead. Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread.
I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
Thanks very much

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
(Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If that's not it try the following:
Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
I would suggest logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
resolved.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Let's start with the emails. What method did you configure for email? BIS, BES, Desktop Redirector?

Not recieving emails or facebook notifications

I havent recieved an email or a facebook notification in days. Anyone know what to do about it?
Jacky

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Can I hide the Facebook notification emails?

It's my understanding that the Blackberry Facebook application will not simply push the notifications through like every other phone manufacturer. Instead, it uses the email notification from facebook to my email account for updates. The thing that is really annoying about this is that every day I have to delete hundreds of emails from facebook that clutter up my inbox just so I an get updates on my phone.
Is there ANY way to hide these emails so I don't have to deal with them? It seems like there has got to be another way to do this. The iPhone and Android don't use email for facebook notifications. What's the deal?
Thanks
Garrett.

Open your Facebok application > Menu > Options > UNcheck Blackberry Message application.
And SAVE.
No more Facebook notifications/emails cluttering up your messages.

Having problem with facebook notifications

Hey I am having problem with my Facebook notifications because each time there is one there is no sound , although every option related to sound is on .
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance

Ok so apparently they FIXED it!!
-Go to the facebook app on phone
-Go to Account Settings
-Go to Notifications
-Go to Mobile Push
-Look at the top of the screen and it said "Sound for push notifications"
-Edit it to ON for all notifications
They fixed it I now receive sounds for notifications!!!!!
Tell people that are having this issue please

I'm having problems with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner. Any suggestions? I've tried everything but restoring. Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

I am having a problem with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner. I've tried everything but restoring the phone. Is this a phone problem or an app problem? Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

I've resolved my problem now. It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos. Can't believe I missed that before.

Macbook pro problem facebook notification

my friend logged in before his Facebook account in my computer. now i always receiving Facebook notifications from his account event if my Facebook account has been set up to my mail ,contacts, etc. settings. please help thanks

I can't even get into booting it from the installer, I only got it to get into the main login once, but once it got into logging in, it just went back to the purple square thingies...
It's model number is A1226 (what it says on the bottom, can't find any of the manuals or anything that would have it, my dad hoarded them away on me -.-)
I do know though, that it was purchased right near the beginning of '07 because it was supposed to be my high school grad. gift from my parents, but they gave it to me earlier.
If I can get it to run any farther than the logging in (I have a guest account on there as well) I will definitely try the repair disk. I'd hope that works if I can even get it farther than anything.
