sorry if this is a silly question. I have managed to sync my contacts list with facebook pictures... but is there a way to show the status upsates of my facebook friends in the phones contacts list.?
It should display the updates automatically, it is showing the status on my phone contacts. I get a preview in the contacts list then if I select the contact I see full status.

I've seen it in a dialer from the X10. Some versions had this option. Not even all. Or they removed it. Not our XPS. Maybe in ICS.

That's strange. My phonebook won't display the statusupdates. :S
Is it a setting in Facebook? That you have to set certain permissions?
All I've done is within Facebook app sync all contacts then also add my account details to Xperia inside Facebook.

nope cant get it to work
Found it!
Strange enough you need to add the facebook-widget at a homecreen. After that the option is not greyed out under Contacts->Setting
Good to hear you've sorted it

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.

once i installed the facebook app from the market i started getting my notifications again
I installed the app from the market and I am not getting them. Weird time to uninstall and try again

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
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
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.
Brand new phone, maybe I made a mistake on setup but doubt it. Why is gmail not my default email upon clicking 'email dev' in the play store, instead it goes to my yahoo pop accounts?
Thanks.

Open your regular mail app(NOT the gmail app, but make sure you are on your gmail account obviously), then click on the "menu" button, then click "settings", then click "general settings", and then you'll see a check box that says "make default account"
No luck. Clearing defaults button appeared to initially work until I tested it, no prompt for action, went straight to yahoo. Second option didn't work either, general settings for mail shows a greyed out checkmark for default app and does not allow me to uncheck it, no option for default in gmail.

Mine is set to "compose mail" under app associations. I dont use the gmail app so I didnt check the compose gmail option. The way I suggested earlier should have worked for you. Thats really weird. Did you do the same steps I listed for your other email accounts to make sure that one of them wasnt checked off as the default account?
Either way, as long as your problem is resolved its all good. Im just curious as to why the other way wouldnt work.

Glad I could help. HTC made that menu to get around the Apple patent issue
Saw it in LA store today - looked awesome - but no stock and said cant sell until 19th.... One question - it only hade three pages and I could not find a setting to change to standard 5 pages for Andriod. With blinkfeed taking one page this is a concern.... Anyone that has one figure out if 5 pages are possible on the ATT version. I know from reviews they have shown 5?!?!?

Yeah 3 is default. Hit home while already on the homescreen and there should be an option to add one. IIRC

No you have to add pages from the settings. Same place you add widgets to the home screen.

You can also just pinch to zoom on the home screen and tap the + to add another screen.
Here is a video for "20 tips and tricks" for the HTC one that shows you how to do it.

If you use the album view you don't have to deal with it, but then you don't get the live zoes. I've also only been able to find my screenshots in the album view for some reason.
