Bah, but still no alerts to notifications of comments, likes, etc.! Blast it all... I'm also disappointed that the ability for me to use the main screen with the icons as my default that first opens is gone; it seems I'm now stuck with the news feed opening by default no matter what I try. Though I will say it's nice that Chat is finally in, even though I probably won't really use it much.

Ah, the joy of finding something to complain about...

Does anyone know how to eliminate the email notification? Now that push notification is actually working I see no need for the duplicate email.

Chat is nice to have but it logs me out every time I leave the app. Even if I have it running in the background and then try to go back into it, it logs me back in. It would be nice if chat could run in the background. Other than that, this app is just about perfect.

Yeah it looks as to me they stretched the truth. No notifications for wall post and statuses. Only chat, messages and the same stuff that was already there. Why they refuse to give their users what they want I don't understand. I don't care what their beef is with google, this is about their users.

Yeah, can anyone confirm whether or not the push notifications are just for the chat portion of this update?

I just said what they do. Chat, messages, friend request, everything that was already there and the new chat. It doesn't do however what MOST people want comments, likes, wall post. They HIGHLY exaggerated this release when they said it had push notifications. Yeah it has them, half of them.

like i said on page 1, it is notifying me when people people comment on my status...not sure why it wouldnt work for me and not anyone else...

Well please do explain your settings. I have seen dozens of post on several forums now and quite a few on Appbrain and in the market that are saying it don't. What's your secret?
