Quick Tip: Turn off those pesky Facebook notifications

I'm only posting to make it so someone can't yell 'FIRST POST!'

I have nothing to say

weird, doesn't work for good.

oh and bummer, not first :-(

OMG!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I get so tired of the notifications I sometimes uninstall the app just to get some peace.

FINALLY! This thing has been driving me crazy! Now to see if it really works...

Thanks a bunch!!! IT was irking my last nerves!!! I couldnt figure it out either...Love Crackberry Nation

thank you CB nation...finally fixed

I turned off all notifications on the FB app as soon as I installed it. I even set it to never check for new notifications. Nevertheless, my battery life is still suffering. I only re-installed FB on my BB because we're about to have a baby, and I wanted to be able to share pics as soon as possible from the hospital. After this, I'll be deleting the FB app, once again. It's the biggest drain on my battery, even worse than WiFi.

OMG this is a Godsend!!! This dude that's friends with my BF posts these random pics, tags everyone on the planet (which of course includes ME)...and then all of those people spend the day commenting on said picture (not me). Drives me crazy!!!! I will be doing this tonight, THANKS CB!!!!

This won't work for me, as I don't have my FB friends in groups. They're all either "family" or "friends". I blame Blackberry for this one. There was a beta version of the app that actually worked when you turned off all notifications within the app itself. Why that ability got lost is beyond me. There needs to be a permanent fix for this within the app!

Thank you! This was driving my wife & I NUTS!

nice thanks

Its nice to see more appreciation for the CrackBerry nation but going back to the battery drain, my 9700/9780 handles numerous notifications of any kind but still maintains a strong battery life. RIM made a mistake by downgrading the battery for this phone thats why i ditched it & came back to my 97**.

What about just logging out of the FB app when you're done with it? There is a log-off under options.

I don't mind that I'm 18th, so long as I'm not last.

Thanks OP Kerri for this simple fix that I never figured out!

I know this a slightly different question but is there a way of deleting all your facebook notifications with out having to go into everyone? I could on my old blackberry but not on this one. Its really annoying

Just delete the whole app. Most obtrusive app ever made. Never again will I let that piece of crap on any phone I ever own.

This did *not* work! I have the notifications option unchecked in the FB app and notifications turned off in close friend group on PC. This is such a horribly annoying bug wtf.

This is good advice! But if you don't want to go as far as switching off your notifications whole-sale in FB, that is, you'd still like to be alerted when a 'close friend' posts, but without all the beeping and flashing, you can set your BB not to flash or alert you (if you have the FB app then it will show the red astrix still however). This was my case where I would rather check the notifications at my leisure rather than having my phone buzz me everytime some random person comments on one of my friend's photo. To do this go to Sounds -> Edit Profiles. Then select the profile that is for the FB app. On my 9700, OS 5, the profile was called by default 'Phone Calls Only'. This then brings you to a menu where you can expand several fields, Messages (for email and SMS alert sound control), Instant Messages (for BBM alert sound control), Reminders (for calendar alert sound control, and 'Other'. In Other was located the Facebook app sound profile. Set the LED to off and whatever other settings you want. Good by beeping, flashing, and buzzing!
