Similar to my post about the market, I live in an area with very fast data speeds, consistently over 3Meg. Am i the only one with facebook taking forever to load pages/selections. It tends to freeze for about 5 seconds or so before it processes my input
Anyone else or any suggestions?
Same thing happens to me. I've all but stopped using the Facebook App. I just use the mobile site via the web browser.
The only benefit I find from using the Facebook app instead of the browser is the picture uploading integration.

step 1: install fb app for photo sharing feature
step 2: open app, insert email/password
step 3: kill task and never use FB app again
step 4: bookmark m.facebook.com

My fone bookmarks wont access my facebook profile anymore. Any address starting with www.facebook.com Keeps clicking over to
x.facebook.com or something and saying Page can't be found, showing underlined text that I think should be links but aren't to the mobile and standard site...
Do I have a virus or something?
will the page load at all? because x.facebook.com is the android optimized page. if it loads, log in, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. where there is 2 small links that you can click,
1 is the facebook mobile format
2 is the real standard facebook.
Ah. Weird that it never did that before. Have had a G1 since last year and a magic for about 6 wks and not done that before, I've always been able to browse the full site.
When I get the page, I can see log in, Standard and mobile underlined but nothing o the page works...
Hate Facebook apps as they never let me do what i want/need to do.
This facebook app looks like a winner, not sure if it is available yet though:

I have been having the same issue.
It only happens on profile pages, the rest of Facebook works fine. Same issue on G1 using JF 1.51 and Dude's cupcake. Now using MyTouch 3G same results.
I guess its a Facebook issue rather than an Android one.
I normally use the full site option for Facebook since I hate that iphone wrapper or any of the mobile sires (wish I could permanenty disable the loading of mobile versions of sites) but since us facebook issue started the full site link is disabled on profiles.
I had this issue on my myTouch as well but when I get an email from facebook saying someone has commented on a post I made or something similar and I click it I get sent to the ugly mobile site and it just loads the live feed not the actual post. I just wanted to know if there was any fix for this or if it could load the touch site instead (or even better the app) so I don't have to wait to go to my desktop or look though posts in the app since the notifications don't work on the Nexus One yet.
Yeah mine does it sporadically. I haven't used it for a couple of days but maybe it has to be in the current processes list/ list of current applications for it to recognise it, else it opens the browser. Just a suggestion.
The whole notification thing really irritates me. You'd think since it comes with the phone, they would at least check that it works ¬¬
Well the web address sent to you in your email is from facebook.com and it is a http link to the full web site, facebook doesn't know that you're viewing this from your phone. gmail/email on the phone is going to treat these links the same, there's nothing built into the formatting or platform to make these 'special'.
I would recommend you disable email notifications on facebook, and configure notifications within the facebook app. This should get you the behavior you desire.
Ok so since i've fixed my facebook notification issue I actually hate the facebook app. Seriously, what app shows a notification which you have to open via an external link? I thought that was the point of the app? The facebook mobile website is atrocious, and i'd actually prefer to open it in web view rather than mobile view, since that's the point of a smartphone.
I hate to bring it up but even the iPhone did a better job. Almost everything could be done through the app. Almost.
that aint the phones fault its the app developers lol

To anyone having some problems, the best workaround I can find is using Dolphin Browser and changing the User Agent to iPhone. This will automatically pull up touch.facebook.com
I am having problems logging in using the widget that comes with mobile shell 3.5. When I click the widget it opens up my web browser - I sign in no problems then it tells me to close the window. When I do this and go back to my home page the widget is still not logged in. I have to repeat the process again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Same issue here. have to resort to just setting up a link to facebook within opera

Is there anyway to stop chat auto signing in, I find it a pain when I go to check Facebook but don't want to chat. People start chatting or send me messages when I am to busy to chat.

I went back to 1.4.0 because of this.

Just go to the chat section of Facebook for Android, tap Menu, then tap Go Offline and it'll stay that way until you enter the chat section again
Am I then offline at the pc also? So stores facebook that I am offline our only the phone?

You'll still be online at the PC, PC and Facebook app work independent from one another so to say

Wrong
Try to chat on android and open facebook on your PC. Pop up window will come out and chat will be shown on both devices

THANK YOU,will try this. Hopefully it works
I find it easier to use friendstream. I rarely use the fb app so that removes the chat problem

go to settings, apps, then clear data and cache from facebook app, then download the latest facebook from market, sign in (HERE IS IMPORTANT NEVER CLICK ON THE CHAT TAB) then go to market, download facebook messenger (the official one) and log in the facebook messenger.. thats it...
when you want to be offline, just log out from the facebook messenger app with one click, and if you want to chat just log in in the facebook messenger app with just one tap, also facebook messenger app its better because you can have group chats, and send photos through it
hope this helps you
or just delete the app and use the new HTML5 mobile web interface which is great (it's like the iphone app).
Also do not forget to close all the fb session from the desktop web interface.

Yup, this is what I do, the HTML5 page is actually better than the app in most cases!
ive got the old version and no problems

Same here! It's a lot better and quicker I find.
Also, I found that when I did use the App to chat it closed the the window on the PC. Don't know whether this is a new feature.
If they just updated it to make it like the HTML5 page it would be a lot better.
I try to use browser to view facebook but it show connection error,so can`t play FaceBook games. it's that any fix?
In the address bar type about:debug and then go to settings>debug and change uastrings to desktop then type about:debug to get out of debug again
You can do what he said, but I found that I would often go back to android mode. So I have switched to dolphin browser HD and set it to desktop mode as default and have a gesture set up if I want to use mobile mode. Much easier and no problems with Facebook or other sites yet.

I had this issue. Only started after installing the facebook app. I uninstalled the app and clear cache and changed uastring to desktop and it works pretty good. Only issue is after several hours of the tablet being idle and the tab open I see the issue pop up. I close the tab and launch a new one and I am good to go.
thank you for reply
im having serious facebook issues on my tablet too!
the facebook app never worked for me properly (couldnt see the feed screen) so i uninstalled it. I also tried connecting my facebook in Pulse Newsreader but that also didnt work either. Only way I could get it working was via the built in social jogger app which actually has quite a nice interface but is somewhat limited.
Also last night I tried browsing facebook via the default browser and it loaded the first time and then stopped loading after clicking a 'see all comments' link.
anyone know the cause?
