This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
Facebook updates.

The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.

Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?

I assume you have tried rebooting?

It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I don't get any notifications when someone posts on my wall or anything.
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
i noticed that also but then i checked under sync and it was set to ONCE A DAY
Yeah but on my wife's epic its instant. Also sync is not push, so the sync time has nothing to do with the notifications. In fact the sync time is just for the news feed

Touch wiz and Sense aren't the same, so touchwiz might have push facebook notifications. Do you have the facebook market app installed?
u need the facebook for android app, the built in fb for sense just updates friend stream and contacts
Facebook app + notifications = fail. They don't work half the time.. Google it. Very very common problem..
It always works on my widest phone the epic and its just the app that does it. I have the app and have all my settings on Facebook.com and my EVO the same as hers. Still it does not work yet it always works on hers.

Do you have Facebook for sense active too? I didn't activate it cause I hated the way it sync'd on my EVO 4G
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
yes facebook and facebook for htc sense are both on sync
What are your setting for what all is sync'ed cause mine still isn't instant
Also are your notifications instant?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well like stated above you usually never get the push notifications on time anyways

Agreed. Friendcaster is much better. Notifcations pop up, can tag photos, etc...
King Ty so much for your help can I ask one more thing of you? What are you notification settings inside the Facebook app? Thx again

I was about to make a new thread until I saw this.
Anyone else really upset that there's no fix to this? The Facebook app is absolute garbage without push notifications. What gets me is that the app was SUPPOSED to support it a while ago, but it clearly doesn't work and Facebook doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. Funny, because the Google+ app handles push notifications perfectly
I've done a lot of research and it honestly seems as though MOST people don't know what exactly push notifications are. You read a lot of 'well I get them almost right away" or 'I get them almost instantly'. Haha with push you're supposed to get them immediately, no questions asked You shouldn't have to wait for your phone, or the app to sync with Facebook's servers. Facebook servers tell your phone immediately as soon as there's a change.
There has to be something we can do to fix this. Sorry I'm just really bothered by it LOL
I have the Evo 4g and i no longer get push notifications. I though it had something to do with my Facebook account but recently purchases a htc amaze and sg2 and both of those phone received instant notifications. I since returned both so now i am stuck with no or very late notifications.
I keep having issues with emails showing up in it. I understand html emails, I have to hit the button for but text emails show nothing sometimes too. Anyone know why? I have the receiving at Max.

IMHO the stock email app sucks, switch to K-9. It actually works.
Will do. Trying it now. See what I think. Thank you

I am using the stock email application and have been getting problems with email notification numbers being wrong on the lockscreen. I have 2 email accounts set up and the lockscreen maybe be saying that I have for instance 5 unread emails but actually I have none.
Anyone else having this and know how to get over it? How does the lockscreen get its information? It can't be from the email app itself as the 2 don't tally.

It gets the numbers from the email service, the same the app uses. Likely a bug on Sony side here, report it on their forums.
Seems odd as the app will be saying '0' unread mail, if I check my yahoo acount via the computer it will say '0' however the lockscreen notification might say 10 or whatever. Had this on gingerbread and now on ics. How is it that nobody else has noticed or raised this? Seems the only option is to switch off that notification so it doesn't keep telling me I have something I dont.

YES!!!
I also have this problem!
From what I can work out, it seems to be something to do with when you download your emails to your pc.
for me, the unread count worked ok (from fresh firmware flash) UNTIL i went on my pc and used outlook on there to see my emails, after this point, the phones email count went haywire. It seems that the phone is not taking into account that previous emails have now gone from the server, and into your pc's email program. so the 'unread' count keeps accumulating.
However, if i exclusively use the email app in the phone, the unread count remains correct (as i did this for a while while i had no internet at home)
It may be the phone, it may be outlooks settings, it may be my email provider? i don't know, it is bloody annoying though!
I get my emails through my own domain name which is hosted by one.com, and its set up as an imap account, i'm quite sure it does the same when set up as a pop account...
Fixed for me: Notifications has a little bug, if you have unread email in the delete box then you will have notification as new or unread email. goto delete box either empty them or mark all read

Alright since I got this phone I've had an issue with my phone not being able to find my girlfriend and my cousins number when I go to text them. It'll show her email but no number so I have to hit find in contacts etc etc.. Also for whatever reason sometimes the text thread with my girlfriend will disappear but if I go to start a new text with her all of the old messages will be there... Wtf??

Check your contacts and make sure her number is saved as mobile.

Solved. They were set as iPhone instead of mobile.. Its weird it would do that though

Why do some of my contacts show up when I'm typing the names in via text to message them show as fake email address? I've sorted my contacts I don't how many times and everything is legit and correct
No misspelled names,wrong numbers anything like that? I'm on stock Rom that's not corrupt. ..my contacts are linked with my facebook but I've unlinked them in the past and no change?
It's very annoying trying to text "mom" and it comes up as an email I've never seen or heard of before
Or I try to add multiple contacts to a mass text and the entire message never sends
