I dono, Josh. The options are definitely there to enable them, so if that's
the case, how do you figure they took them out? I'm not trying to challenge
you're statement. Don't mistake my point. I'm only asking totally out of
curiosity, so I can better understand.
Chris.

Subject: Re: Totally strange problem with the Facebook I O S app
I believe they took out the notification and vibrate sounds a while ago.
Yeah I know vibration isn't a sound but you get what I mean.

OK, this is really strange. All of a sudden, I seem to have completely
lost Facebook notification sounds. If I use Siri, I do hear the swoosh
sound, but otherwise, I get nothing. For instance, I wrote something on
my wall earlier. I've been getting comments left and right. I know I
have, as my phone's been sitting on the desk right here in front of me,
and I heard Voiceover speak when the screen unlocked due to the push
notification of a new comment. This however said, I don't get the
tri-tone sound, nor do I get any other sound at all. Come to think of
it, I don't even get any vibration alerts either from Facebook. This is
driving me absolutely crazy! I'm a very! advanced I O S user, and you'd
think that there wouldn't be anything I've missed. Pretty much, the only
thing I've not done is to uninstall, and reinstall the app. That's
probably gonna be the next thing on my checklist to try, unless you guys
have any other ideas. Here's what I've tried so far. Actual
ly, before I get to that though, come to think of it, I don't know that
reinstalling would help, as now that I think of it, I'm having the exact
same problem on my IPad, as well as on my IPhone. So it's not apparently
installation specific.
Anyhow, here's what I've so far done to trouble shoot this.
1. Make absolutely sure I'm not on silent/vibrate mode, and I'm not.
2. reboot the device.
3. Press home and sleep for several seconds and let the phone hard
reset.
4. Close the app from the app switcher, and relaunch it. No good.
5. Clear all FB notifications from Notification center just in case
something's hung up. NO good.
6. Made sure sounds were enabled for FB alerts, and they are.
7. Make sure vibrate alerts are enabled for FB, and they are.
8. Make sure push notifications for comments are enabled. They
definitely are.
9. Make sure Facebook is set to sounds on, and it is.
10. toggle the sound settings off then back on to refresh things.
11. Plug in headphones to see if the sound mysteriously is getting
routed through there even though nothing's plugged in. Not the case.
12. Make sure Facebook is set to show on the notification center, and
the lock screen. It is.
13. Read the compatibility notes on the app store page to be sure I O S
7.1 is supported. Though it doesn't directly say it is, it doesn't
directly say it's not either.
14. Made sure the Facebook app is set to sounds, alerts, bannars. It
was.
15. Enable badges for the Facebook app. I know this shouldn't make a
difference, but I did so anyway, just in case.
16. Made sure there was no update to the app that needed to be
installed. There definitely isn't.
So, yeah, on I O S 7.1. I don't think however this worked in 7.0 either.
I kind a remember them being broken there too, although I didn't use the
app much until very very recently, so at that time, I honestly didn't
really think about it to much, nor really care too much about it. I hate
to think I'm gonna have to get a different FB app, but if I can't have
audible alert tones for my notifications, then I'm sorry, but that's a
dealbreaker. And, quite a big one, if I may say myself.
Any thoughts?
Chris.
