Facebook notifications problem

For a few days now every time i try to do a refresh on the notifications page in the facebook app. I get an error, something about a parse error.
I don't know why, since i haven't done anything different or added any new apps.
Any help?
Thanks

I have the same problem too. May be the problem is at Facebook server.

Same here, it fails to update since a few days back. This has happened before and that time it was due to changes of how FB works, not related to SE or android failure. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Facebook is fine here, connecting through the official (crappy) app.

:-(... read something on a swedish news app that Facebook has had some problems these last days, and that the fb team had not found the source of it yet. Hopefully all shall be able to update soon.

Perhaps they should remove the horrible Facebook app that's on the market and release one that actually works. Take a page from iPhone app.

Can you give a description of what's "horrible" about the app?
Aside from built in Chat and Places support, it's pretty close to the iPhone version in terms of features, and it works perfectly fine.

The facebook app on iPhone is better.

Same here, got the newer one from the market and it works great.
My friend was whining about his FB app too and I asked him if he updated it.
*He replied "but I have the latest version".
*I asked "did you manually DL the one from teh market and replace teh one on your phone?"
*He said "um, no... it did not say it needed an update so I never changed it"
*I explained the pre installed app bug and showed him the difference in the two apps. Problem solved!

oh okay good to know. Cuz I have the facebook app that came on the phone. I assumed (never ASS-u-me) it would be the same one in the market.

so i downloaded the new facebook app, and it looks very similar to the iPhone one, which is good. So I tried logging in and I keep getting a "login in error". And I checked the e-mail address and password 3 times.
Never mind it works now. Sorry.

Wrong Facebook times

Heya, for some reason my galaxy adds 2 hours to the events from Facebook. Is this something I can fix on my own, or report to Facebook or Samsung?

Hi all,
I also faced the same issues but no problem when reached the normal web site. I don't know what its belongs to, i just send a bug report to fb dev team and hope they can have a look. Is someone here not using SGS but Froyo installed device and have a try?

Facebook, Yahoo Messenger and Skype suck balls compared to the iphone/ipod versions
sad but, its just better to use touch.facebook.com this time, other than uploading pics/vids

Contacts syncing

I'm making this as a new post in the general section for a reason. The Gingerblur thread is too crazy and moving too fast for a question like this and I'm also not even sure that this is Gingerblur related.
The problem I'm having is with my Contact information staying synced on the phone. It seems that no matter how many times I edit a contact, particularly the contacts photo that should be supplied by FaceBook, it won't stick. I am trying to get this to work correctly but haven't found a way to do it. I would like everyones contact information in my phone to be synced with facebook and pull their photos down from facebook and link to their profiles. It appears that this OS has everything required to do that but it's just not functioning correctly. Some of my contacts have the right facebook pictures, but a lot of them have none at all. I also have duplicate entries and some other anomolies as well.
Is there a setting I'm missing?

I have this problem also. For example, Ill text someone and their picture won't show up in the text thread, even though the contact is synced with Facebook.

Yes that too. Or sometime the pics will.be there in the text thread itself but it wont be when you're looking at all the text threads. Really glitchy.

Can anyone confirm that this DOESNT happen on stock motor blur.

XDA app force close when I sign in to my account.

Anyone else? Thought the issue would go away after the update, but it still does it. FC's when I log in to my XDA account.

I get the exact samr problem- so I just use the web browser for 'real experience'.
However it is annoyong that the app crashes... Would not expect this for the xda devs.

The free version does that also on my Gtab but the Premium version works.

same problem here

We need a fix for this

they have known this for ages yet they haven't provided it a fix for it.

Same issue here, worked perfectly on the free app before Touchwiz update. I can log into my account and access the forums but as soon as I click on a post it force closes and logs me out.

It crashed on me before TW updates just as op posted. So, it's up to XDA to fix this problem.

XDA app has been broken for months on Honeycomb devices.

Yeah, I purchased the Premium Version for this reason.

Odd, mine has not force closed on me at all. Verizon 4G/LTE GTab.

would be nice if there was a tablet optimized version, like a split screen setup, threads on left, posts on right

I have the same problem but I only get an FC on my tab if I log into my account. No problem if I use the app as 'guest' or use the app on my phone.

New Notification

I've been running CM7 since the last "Alpha" release and have it updated with the Oct 22 update. I don't recall exactly when, but I started recieving these "optout" notifications. I don't know if it's related to CM7 or something else, but they're not cool at all . Does anyone know where they're coming from or how to stop them?

An app you installed

The only app I have installed now that was not before I switched to CM7 is Go SMS Pro. Has anyone had any experience with it?

Go sms pro doesn't do that, but i don't use go fb chat. What opens when you click it?

Found this after a bit of research. Looks like an adbased app on your phone is using their apk. Seems they do support opt out, but aren't doing a good job a securing your identity period.

I'm not going to click those %^#$%#$%#$ Spam messages... I clear all the notifications. The only features of Go SMS Pro I use are SMS & MMS. I don't have Facebook, Myspace, Google+ or any other "Social networking" (Read: Stalking) crap. Want nothing to do with any of them. Any ideas how I can track down where it came from? I've looked at the installed apps and services with Titanium Backup and nothing stands out. Unless One of the other apps got 'updated' to include this new 'feature', Go SMS seems the most likely suspect at the moment.

wats a myspace?

Although I usually have 150-200+ apps installed at any one time, I started getting those annoying little "notifications" almost as soon as I installed the free version of the IPhone keyboard. Not cool at all...

How often do they come up? Is it at a predetermined time or is it random? A relatively easy way to narrow it down may be to look at market reviews of suspected apps.

Girlfriend had this problem. There's an app called airpush detector on the market. Download it to see what's causing the ads
