facebook app notifications

danyL

Newbie
So for about 1-2 weeks, every time i try to refresh to see my notifications using the facebook app, it says the following:

"Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. [601/Parser error: unexpected '-' at position 57.]"

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Notifications work fine when using facebook with the browser but not with the app. Very annoying.
 
The actual fb app. Made by fb its nice

its only nice if you're checking the news feed.

You cant check the inbox, you can't comment on pictures, and if you get a status notification or something similar, it takes you to a browser to reply.

iPhone/iTouch facebook version is what Android facebook needs to be. because with those you can do everything the same way as in browser
 
mine worked today... maybe FB fixed their problem

mine worked also. im looking at it now. it shows updates that I read earlier this morning as read, and a new one i have not read since.

Now everyone is going to survive. Have you read the comments on the app in the market place. people be foamin:D
 
Worked for me too. I can go back to my normal dosage now....

Well guys, I have a question, at the risk of getting yelled at that it's been posted somewhere already lol. Instead of starting a new thread, figured I'd ask in here... I came from a Blackberry, and on my BB, when I had the Facebook App installed, notifications would automatically pop up on the application instead of my email... NOW with the Facebook App for Android, I end up getting both notifications in my email AND in the App... I tried disabling email notifications, but then my FB App wouldnt update automatically either... Soo I'm stuck getting notifications in both my email and App. Is there any way to just get automatic notifications on the Facebook App? What am I missing lol?

Unfortunately, no.

You need to log on Facebook with a normal computer. (Or your Eris if you go to the touch site, then scroll down, then click the link 'Full Site', then go from there, but it's easier on a normal computer)

Go to Account > Account Settings > Notifications > Uncheck all the boxes for e-mail, then hit 'Save' at the bottom.

You won't get notification e-mails.
 
so I see that ya'll have figured out how to make your notifications work on FB. So tell me how'd ya do it? I just got mine about 2 weeks ago and I don't get any notifications at all.:confused:
