social network app and push notifications

[envizion]

is there push notifications for the stock social network app? i'd try to use the facebook for android app on the market, but for some reason it won't sync contact like it did for my thunderbolt.

you have to add facebook to your accounts (menu -> settings -> accounts -> add account) if you want it to sync contacts.

the facebook app does have push notifications; you have to open the app, hit menu button , settings -> refresh interval (never). then, make sure that in data delivery (battery & data manager -> data delivery ->social applications), you have automatic (push) selected.

i'm not sure how this affects battery though. i'm going to keep playing around with these settings to get an optimal life
