Facebook Push Notifications not working on iPhone 4S 6.1.3 and Macbook Pro OS X 10.8.3

I really hoped this would resolve the issue but it didn't work for me. In addition to facebook there are other 3rd party apps that show the visual notification but no audible notification. The list includes Instagram, CNN, USA Today, etc...

One of the few that do work have their own notification tone, like the ESPN SportsCenter app.

Well, you guys aren't the only ones. For about a week now, none of my push notifications are working. Some of my friends have noticed that as well. I don't get notificaitons for mail, or Draw Something, or Scrabble, and those are only three apps I use very often. I haven't been able to get any help for this at all, I finally booked an appt at Genius Bar, we'll see what kind of geniuses they really are.

I thried everything:

- reboot phone

- sign out or delete app and reinstall

- reset my notifications settings

- checked router

- checked WiFI: no notifications if on WiFI OR on 3G

- updated all apps

- updated to ios 6.1.3

What else can I do???

I think this is another crApple problem, how can things just all of a sudden stop working??? They REALLY have got to work on this!

If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know! Thanks

I've tried this multiple times, it doesn't resolve all issues. The no sound issue on iOS is a bigger issue then just Facebook. Most 3rd party apps are doing the same thing. THe exceptions are the ones that include their own sound notifications within the app.

I've had this same issue since last September on my iPhone 4. I've reported it many times to facebook w/o hearing anything back. The message notification works but not the regular notifications.

I refuse to jailbreak my phone so the only thing I've been able to do is set my facebook back from "banners" to "alerts" so they'll be on my home screen and I've changed my facebook email address to a new email only used for my facebook and twitter accounts and created a custom alert tone for that email address. That way any notifications that pop up will be emailed to the address and when I hear the alert go off I know to check for the new notifications.... And the twitter notifications still work fine and play sounds so it's definitely something on the facebook side that's not being fixed, not on Apple's.

I had this issue on my 4s since some months ago, and i've tried everything. I found the solution by chance:

My 'Do not disturb' option was set to be on from 00:00 to 07:00 hrs. I disabled it an voilà, my facebook push notifications started to work.

There might be a conflict with this functionality in particular with the facebook app.

I hope this help you too.

Cheers!

Ok so apparently they FIXED it!!

-Go to the facebook app on phone

-Go to Account Settings

-Go to Notifications

-Go to Mobile Push

-Look at the top of the screen and it said "Sound for push notifications"

-Edit it to ON for all notifications

🙂 They fixed it I now receive sounds for notifications!!!!!

Tell people that are having this issue please
