Facebook probs on Android browser?

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.

VZW TP2 Facebook App

So i just got my TP2 today and it says on Verizon's site, "Fast access to Youtube and Facebook", however I see no facebook app on the phone. I guess I could install the app on my own, but I would have thought it would have already been on the phone being it's listed as a feature included on the phone according to there site. Anyone else on Verizon not have the FB app or am I missing something?

if you go to the People tab & select All People there will be an Updates & Events tab where you can link your FB account to the phone. That's what they're talking about

So it will just sync peoples contact info like phone numbers and stuff and import them to my contacts on my phone? Sounds like I will still need to install the actual facebook app then.

MS Free Facebook App
Microsoft has a free one on their mobile site. Just put as a link on your start page and you're good to go.

Samsung Social Media Hub missing from Sprint Tab?

Meant to post yesterday:
Anyone with a Sprint Tab notice whether or not they have this icon/app on their tab?
On the Sprint page it does state "Samsung Social Hub integrates all of the user’s social networking services, messages, personal and business email, calendars and contacts, and can display calendar information from portal calendars, such as Google Calendar, and social networking services together in one view with two-way synchronization"
i contacted Sprint Tech Support and the 1st rep tried sending the app to me, which i think was BS. Then i was put through to Level 2 Tech Support. Level 2 had me do a hard reset and planned for the Tab to take an auto update and hand me the app, which it did NOT. I was then told to go to a Sprint Store because this is a manufacture issue and they will swap out the device.
PS: Tab is 2 hours old
UPDATE:
Today i decided to contact Samsung Tech Support regarding this issue. 1st rep advised me to take my equipment back to where i purchased it for a replacement. I asked to speak to a supervisor and spoke with a "Level 2 Tech". He advised me that BOTH the Sprint and Verizon CDMA units do not have this app/feature at this time and expects a possible upgrade in the near future.
Tonight, not satisfied with the conflicting date i have received, i again contacted: a) a sprint corporate store and b) care tech support. The ditz i spoke to at the store advised me, without looking, that their demo unit did not have this application and would not let me speak to someone in tech & repairs. Called Care Tech Support again and explained the conflicts i have received the last 2 days and she proceded to contact Samsung, put me on hold and CLICK...
Still trying to find out if ANY CDMA UNITS HAVE THIS APP OR NOT...
ANYONE? ANYONE? ANYONE?

I have a tmo sgt and I have the media hub, dunno what social hub ur speaking of though

My Sprint Tab doesn't have to app/widget either.

Here's the answer you've been looking for:
No CDMA tablet have SocialHub. It's up to the carriers what apps they decide to leave/install/uninstall on their devices.

It's not on my Bell Tab either.
BTW, do any of YOU have the native Calculator application? I don't, and I miss it, since it is always on my default home screen desktop. The calcs on the market are all over-featured, though they work.

no calculator here either. weird they left that out

That it is.

Thanks, but no. If you go to the Sprint website under "Full Feature List" it states
"Samsung Social Hub
An integrated service that merges your social networking, contact, calendar and email information into a single interface. Social Hub is an easier way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues whenever you want, wherever you are. "
I do appriciate your efferts though

Yes, i have the "Media Hub" but NOT the "Social Hub"
go here to check it out:

Apparently it is an app that is carrier requested, but pre-installed. this app is NOT available through the market or any other markets for that matter and it is not a .apk file available from samsung or from sprint.

So far, you get an error when trying to sign in. Here is the link to the market:
http://market.android.com/

cant sign in with my account says "Invalid Request" interesting idea! tho

Man, i just got done watching the live stream of the conference and he said it was already live and he encouraged everyone to go check it out, but yes I am getting an invalid request
In app purchases are coming soon though, the demo they showed was pretty cool. Also, it looked as if you wont be required to do purchases directly through google checkout, as the demo just used a credit card to make an in-app purchase. Carrier billing will also be an option.

Yea, sign in works but it still can't install to devices. I am getting sick of Google introducing half-baked, untested things to the masses. Do they ever release something not in beta?

That last part is the error I got while it was parsing my device list.

I just gave it a try and it worked perfectly for me. Signed in with one click and it installed the app within seconds.

Works for me too!

Apparently, it works for some apps and not for others. Follow this link to see what others have said about it.

Almost half a dozen people had the same issue.
They only just got the sign in issue fixed.

Works on solitare but , not for pandora.

I was able to get signed in but when inputting my phone number I got an error. Now when I try to install an app I get "There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account." I've had my phone and gmail account synched up for over 6 months now, what gives!?

No issues here....

Basically it allows you to have multiple phones attached to the same account. To install apps go to market.android.com sign in to your account and then you can browse and install apps. As others have noted though, there are still some hang-ups in the system.
Keep an eye on youtube.com/android and soon they will post a recap of todays conference (not up yet)

Social hub activation failed help

I'm having problems activating my Samsung Social Hubs account. I need to activate it so I can get the IM client working and also to get push notifications for my AOL account.
I have tried over network, over wifi and no results. I called Samsung cust. Support in the US (888) 987-4357, but they told me my device is not supported because the Galaxy SII is registered under Samsung UK and they gave me another no. 084567267864 but I cant get a hold of that numbet after putting prefix +44 for UK country code.
Please is anyone else having similar issues activating your Samsung social hub portal?

I suspect you did not describe the problem well.

You can set up accounts two ways:
1) Settings>Accounts and sync
2) Social Hub>Add account
If neither of those work for you I'd try a hard reset. The latest firmware KF3 seems to have a problem with IM if you're starting with a fresh copy (vs. upgrading on top of an earlier version). I just rebuilt my phone and had no problems with Social Hub other than that.

How do I know if I have KF3?

Ok, let me explain furthermore. The Galaxy SII comes preloaded with a service called hubs. There is: game hub, readers hub and social hub. The other two hubs are self explanatory, but the social hub has more to it.
With an activated social hub account, supposively we galaxy sII owners are able to log into multiple IM accounts (windows live, aol messenger or google talk). In addition any email account created with an active social hub account is blessed with "push" mail notifications.
I can't activate mine, past the email activation process it tells me that it cant' connect or that connection failed. What I want to do is make my primary email account the social hubs one (an AOL acct.), but I also want it to have push notification, but without activating a social hubs account, it will not allow me to do so. Right now I can only log into my AOL acct. Via polling emails every like 30mts. But it is not the same experience as real push email (similar to the gmail application from android market).
So I have been breaking my head on activating a social hub account with the samsung server. This is the link were the activation takes place and you can read for your self what I'm trying to explain: http://socialhub.samsungmobile.com and at the site there is even an option to activate from there entering my GSII's IMEI, but for some reason it regets my IMEI and tells me that it can not be registered.
So as a result, I can't log into any IM service (connection failed) or activate any email and make it my default email with push capability.
I hope I explained clearly the problem I'm experiencing ok. Thank you in

Thanks for the detailed explanation OP. I was not clear on what exactly the problem was.
I never used the HUB, I am in the States, and I just tried to register at the hub website. Upon entering my IMEI (the UK unbrabded phone), I got the message "This IMEI is not available for the social hub service."
I then searched and found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092848
Post #6 says basically that the Hub service is not available for UK
I found the source for the first part of that post. And when you actually follow these instructions and click on Q&A, you are presented with the list of countries , there is no UK or US on that list.
I guess Samsung enforced country validation recently?
And to answer your other question about where to see the KF3 version, go to settings -> about phone -> build number

Exactly, now you know that I'm talking about right. it reads "This IMEI is not available for the social hub service" you see. Why is this? I even using the same site sent them an contact us email for them to add my IMEI, but have not gotten a responce.
PS: I'm also in America on at&t ok. Thank you.

one thing nobody said before is:
when calling the uk, the leading 0 of the phone number must not be dialed. the number is 084567267864 for people in the uk, but for international callers it should be +4484567267864.
the same goes for many european countries that have phone numbers with leading 0s. just fyi.

Social Hub is run through Samsung's servers. I think the web app does nothing more than mirror what's on the phone. I've used the phone version in the U.S. on a UK phone since May and haven't had any issues. Like everyone else I can't register for the web app because it rejects my IMEI. If the phone's not letting you set up any accounts it probably has to do with settings you've selected not what's pre-programmed in the phone or its country of origin.
