Thanks but my apps are up to date, checked again to be sure. Again is an issue on my new iphone 4, the 3g on ios4 notifies with sound. FYI, the badges are working on both phones.


There's nothing that you've said that would lead me to that conclusion. I would guess that you need to go to Settings, Notifications, and check that you've got everything set up on the Facebook notification.

Mine is doing the same!! frustrating....


I get the notification through but no sound. I get sounds for everything else but not for FB posts etc. This is ALSO occurring on my iPad too. I used to get both beeping but now neither of them do it and its oly for FB notification.


I have looked at all settings on both fb mobile and computer and all are good and on. They jsut decided to stopall of a sudden on the weekend.😠


hope someone can help...

I've had this problem for about a week now too. I get sound for texts, calls etc fine, just Facebook is silent. I've tried restoring the phone through iTunes, both as an update and a new phone. I've tried a hard reset. I've tried deleting and installing the Facebook app again. Nothing cures the problem. This is the 2nd iPhone4 I've had, having had the 1st replaced by Apple at the end of January this year because I had no sound on calls through the earpiece, only via loudspeaker. Getting frustrated with it now tbh!

This has become kind of wide spread. A lot of people are continuing to blame it on the app, but with everything I have done to my phone I can't continue to think it is the app. Allow me to clarify a little. This happened to me about 3 days ago and it is still happening. I have reset, restored, cleared everything you can think of. I have checked all settings in app and on device. I have even gone as far as extracting older versions of facebook from my itune saves and downgraded the actual FB app. I started with FB v5... After all was said and done I have ended up with FB v3.1.2. Yeah went back pretty far. I would guess if it was an app issue that when an older working version was reinstalled that it shoud work, right? So I am starting to think it is a problem with IOS 5.1.1 communicating with FB. I am guessing it has something to do with the integration of FB in IOS 6. This is just my though. Could be wrong, but after trouble shooting for 3 days its the only logical explanation I can come up with. I would think now that apples forums are popping up with this problem pretty rapidly now that the ywould come out and say something. Knowing apple though they will just wait til the 19th, cross their fingers, and hope they don't have to deal with the masses.

I went into the Apple store in Lakeside last night and a guy there was very helpful, checked all my settings, agreed that I'd taken all possible steps to overcome the issue (although I hadn't restored older FB apps as someone has above, so good call, thanks!). He said he'd never head of this issue and suggested it sounds like the FB app causing the problem. ON the face of it, I can kinda understand that view point, but it's not like it's happened at the same time as a new FB app is released, I've had the latest version for a few weeks or so and it's been fine until this week. He said.......IOS6 is out Wednesday, that might cure it.....


Just noticed this morning that it doesn't make any sounds from tweets either, so the twitter app must be suffering from the same thing. Push notification issue?
