IPhone – getting Facebook push notifications even though I have all Facebook push notifications disabled

As far as I know, they are not related. If I turn off push, either on my jailbroken iphone or my girl's unjailbroken one, GPS and maps keep on working just fine.

edit: Reading little bit more on pushfix I'll try to explain what became clear to me.

Push and Maps or GPS are still unrelated.

Jailbreaking is a legal procedure to make your iPhone free from "apple locks". That's where the name came from.

With that, a jailbroken iPhone can do things apple doesn't allow, but without a proper tool installed "jailbreaking" does nothing.

pushfix is a tool to fix a problem on the push notifications brought by activating the iphone without an authorized SIM (a.k.a. Hacktivated iPhone). pushfix was further improved to fix other problems, probably brought by the same Hacktivation, such as Wifi and GPS.

I highly recommend you do a lot more research and get familiarized with the terms and issues related to iPhone (yes, that's a lot of reading and quite complicated) or just get an Android! ;)

Here are some good starting points (other than the link already provided):

Just of note that Facebook is notorious for being extremely flakey when delivering notifications of any kind (whether they be system wide through the home screen icon, or even in-app). If you have Push enabled on both devices, the problems could lie within Facebook.

Also note that it may (read: should) be the case that when you check your account on one device, the notifications should disappear on the other, as they will be marked as read.

Additionally, it could be that Facebook's servers deliver a notification only once to any waiting device capable of handling them (remember they have millions of users to contend with). You'll have to contact Facebook to make certain of this however.

You can use mail to test it. If you send yourself an email, do you receive notifications on both devices? If you read the mail, do they disappear (get marked as read) on both devices?
