I assume you have a Google account set up. Okay, click on the Gmail icon. Open the menu and go to settings. Go down to Email notifications and make sure the check mark is a glowing green. If it isn't, click on it. Leave. You should be getting Gmail notifications now.
As for Facebook, for some odd reason, I'm having problems as well. It will not let me log on using the icon application. The only way I can get into Facebook is via the browser. Going to my local Verizon store to see if they can figure this one out.
everything you said was correct already and still not getting anything the only way i can get my emails from gmail is if i go in and then to settings and refresh then email will showup its not getting to the phone unless i do this HELP.
I just went into verizon store and i guess droids dont have email push meaning that if someones sends u an email it wont go to your phone unless u actually go in and check your email kinda sucks wow.
my gmail pops us almost as fast as it does on my computer notification and I don't have to go in to make it show.
I'm having the same problems with Facebook. I'm really getting annoyed with FB. Does anyone else refresh and still show posts from the day before or several hours earlier and none of the current updates? When I logged in at home I had like 50 notifications. I hope it's just a temporary glitch.
Also with Gmail it was working fine and then stopped, so I played around with the setting and it said the account was not synced with the phone, I checked it to sync and so far so good. Hope that helps with that issue.
Also since we are on the subject of problems, and I'm sorry if this is on another thread, I was looking but didn't find, does anyone know how to save pictures from text messages or email to the phone? I have been trying too and can't. I just got it Thursday and haven't had time to really play with it, also does not help that I can't sync it to my PC at home to add my music or pictures.
I'm liking the phone just have to learn it I guess I will take the tutorial at the Verizon Store that was offered to me. Has anyone taken it? Is it worth it?

just touch and hold the picture and then click save.
Thanks Meshe, I've been doing that with pictures and it doesn't work. Should I take out the battery and see if that helps? How about FB anyone else have a super delay with the notifications? .

Are you looking under camera roll or all photo's/videos??
anything you take from the text/email will be under the "all" section not the roll.
at first it wouldn't work so I took out my battery and now it's working,. Thanks!
i fighured it out if u go to gmail icon go into mail then hit menu button go into accounts then u should see your gmail account then hit menu button again and then that will take you in there and make sure auto sync is on now after ive dun this it works everytime and with in seconds. sweet.
Go to your gmail account and press the menu button and settings. Under Notification settings make sure Email Notifications has a green check, select a ringtone for the notification (I like DROID), and I also have vibrate checked. Works fine and puts the gmail icon in the status bar when the message comes in. I just tested mine by sending a gmail from my puter to my phone and it took about 5 seconds to come in.
try going into your widgets and under android widgets click on Power Control and see if the circle with arrows has the green bar under it ... if not click on it so it has it green under.
