Yes comments, likes etc. only the live tile. but no action center or toast notifs.
​

Did you check your noticiation+action settings?

Did you check your noticiation+action settings?

Yes i did. I have everything set so that toast and action center would work but..... Oh well that's not the result

Facebook and Microsoft should be extremely ashamed of themselves for the extremely poor work that they have been doing on developing Facebook on Windows Phone...

For having lived in Russia for a while, I have an account on the local Russian social network called VKontakte (VK).

How come they update their app as soon as new features become available in WP? How come I got there an update enabling transparent tile the day after it became available on WP?

How come do I get notifications, all notifications? How come can I upload photos, add friends, reject group requests, share other posts, etc? And all this without a single bug.

How come the interface of the app is as good as the one on iOS and works smoothly?

Don't tell me that the 2 American giants Microsoft and Facebook are not able to provide the same on the FB app?!!

(don't get me wrong, I'm not Russian at all... just comparing here...)

Guys, knows anyone how you can set the Facebook live tile to be static and to not show the cover?
I don't want to use transparency tiles.

Although I can be patient and wait for an improved app, the two main annoyances of mine are:

1) All I ever see is the liked pages on my feed - rarely any friends or family (where as on android, I get a current mix of pages and friends and family sorted by most recent.

2) Not being able to leave a photo comment - It was odd, because on my Nokia Icon, i went the the facebook website on my browser and STILL couldn't send a photo comment reply - there was no 'camera' icon.....

For your 1st point, it's because the Facebook app has been developped by Microsoft and is seen by Facebook as a 3rd party app. Only your friends who actively allow 3rd party apps to access their profiles will be visible on your news feed. It s*cks doesn't it...

Wow really, is this true? The app is created together by Facebook and Microsoft. It would be pretty crazy of this is true.

Go to the store and look who's publishing the app: Microsoft Corporation. That says enough, doesn't it?

"Microsoft is seeking beta testers for a refreshed version of the official Facebook app for Windows Phone, which was developed by Microsoft in conjunction with Facebook."

I would be amazed if the app is handled inside Facebook like any other 3rd party app... however I have noticed that soem of my contacts dont show anymore from FB, but I think this is a bug.

 

[mattborkin]

Thanks. But unfortunately,that link is over a year old. I think the current beta has gone stale.... I hope I'm wrong.

I'd like to tell Microsoft that I am trying to view their facebook page about their Windows Phone 8, but their Facebook app on my Windows phone won't let me. How ironic.

I wonder what their response would be....

No, I posted the link because it says that there is some collaboration between Microsoft and Facebook on the app.

 

[mattborkin]

Ah, thanks. There is hope then! I'm sure it's just a matter of time,I just hate waiting.

How do I get the app to use Miles instead of Kilometres, I am in the UK and all my other apps use Miles but anything tied into FB uses KM, for example checkin from the me tile

Is there a setting somewhere I cannot find?

The whole app is a Big Bug,,, is a third party app, even thought Facebook might have collaborate with MS in making the app still the app is been seen as a 'Third Party', is not a but is just the way it is and it will be until it is officially developed by Facebook.

I am sure it is just a matter of time ....Facebook will want to be everywhere so they will eventually develop it for WP

The only issue I have is the very slow picture scrolling (swiping to the left or right in an album etc.).

The old version was fine with it.

 

[teckris]

Any issues with FB Phone sync? Mine just stopped showing Linked contacts and profile pics just vanished..

 

[cookiesnfootywp]

The whole experience is poor compared to IOS and Android, I hope they can resolve this but two years on and nothing!...

 

[gedzum]

The biggest issue for me is still the amount of missing posts compared with the browser for example. I don't how it is on the other the other mobile platforms.
