Im not receiving my friends messages through integrated FB chat, but I do get a notification via FB app. I can send messages but not receive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Facebook unified the messaging system, but it's obviously still causing problems with third party clients, not just WP. Even when you use something like meebo/imo some messages are never received. I am not sure who needs to fix this but it would be great if they would do, because as it is right now, the Facebook chat integration is pretty much useless.Can be because of two issues:
1. They may be replying using the Facebook Messaging function instead of the Chat Box. If they are using Facebook's first-party Messages application on Android or iOS that app may be giving them the notifications which sort of changes how the messages are seen by third party clients.
2. The Integrated WLM/FB Chat functionality in WP7 is broken in the way it handles Multiple Points of Presence (MPOPs). If you initiate a conversation from a PC and move it to a phone often-times you will stop recieving incoming messages, even though you can send messages to anyone. Sometimes resetting your online status works (going offline and immediately back online). Sometimes I have reboot my phone to fix it. It's not a protocol issue, becuase I tried it across three devices + 2 PCs and like 5+ different clients. Only my WP7 device broke when I moved the conversation to the phone.
The reason why the Facebook application will still notify you of those "Messages" is because Notifications for Messages is supported by that app. The integrated WLM/FB Chat Client does not support Facebook's Messaging system (not to be confused with their Chat functionality), therefor you will not see those messages unless you have the FB app installed.
"Messages" in the FB App != "Chat". They're analogous to Direct Messages on Twitter.

Interesting. So long story short, if sender uses messaging to send or reply, it will not get pushed to chat?
