I loaded a FaceBook update this morning.
Since then, I can't do anything in the app. I open the newsfeed, and if I try to navigate from there, my app crashes.
Anyone else having the same issues?

It is buggy. tapping Profile crashes for everyone as far as I know. Someone mentioned "Flow" from the market and that works great for me.
Keitht,
Is it working on your Xoom?

Flow? Yes it is working for me. Just installed it last night though so haven't used it much but it hasn't crashed on me yet where FB app crashes all the time. There is a free version you can install from the Market to try yourself. I bought the paid version.
same - crashes out doing stuff
logging in
opening app
random crashes
sometimes i get all the way to reading the profile and it randomly crashes
Yeah you're not alone. The new update crashes out on my phone and Xoom. Really, really bad update.
phone too?
I rarely use facebook - i only tried on the xoom as i noticed an update was out- havent tried accessing on my phone yet.

My advice is don't update on your phone, it's the same problems. Actually, if you still have the old version on your phone, any chance you could let me have the old apk so I can downgrade?
Same issues here. Crashes when I try to go to profiles. All I can do is read the wall and post to my wall.
Is there a way to downgrade?

I've started using TweetDeck last night, you can have different "columns" for Twitter and Facebook and a combined one.
It works pretty well, better than the FB app and I haven't had any FC's.
Found an older Facebook version and its runnuni better.

Keep tapping "Report" on the force close messages. If they get bombarded with crash messages, they will hopefully know there are problems.
The facebook app is shamefully useless on the xoom.

All sorts of crashes on my Xoom since the update.
If you can do without all the bells and whistles of facebook app friendcaster works nicely on the xoom.

Guys, a lot of messages here about "problems on Xoom, Facebook on HC, Xoom this, Xoom that."
The problems aren't to do with Xoom or HC, I am running CM7 (Gingerbread) on my Desire HD and I'm getting the exact same issues since the latest update. This is an app problem, not a Xoom or HC one.
Try this out. Should fix the FC until facebook gets around to it
I guess I could fix the widget too, but its ugly and the next update would just break it anyway.
The new update is shiit. I cant do anything

Anyone else having constant force closes with the free XDA App. Not sure if its a HC issue, app issue or Acer issue. Hope its fixed soon its much easier to use than the full site.
I have had this issue with a few apps. Seems most are not quite honeycomb compatible yet.

XDA Pro crashes a lot on my A500 as well.
Works fine here, initially opens in portrait but then switches to landscape.
seems like it FC's only when i sign in, ive started using tapatalk, it works ok for xda-developers forums but its still dodgy, wont let me upload attachments etc

I'm in this state as well; I'm on a Nook Color running CM7, and the XDA app FCs if I look at any article after logging in. If I don't log in, I can view articles all I want.
The FC log entry shows that it's in xda-specific code, not in tapatalk itself.
The xda app seems to crash on a lot of tablet based devices... it did on my Archos and gtab.
Got fed up and paid for tapatalk pro and it works perfectly.

I went and bought the XDA premium app and have not had one FC on my tab nor my D1. Well worth the $1. The free app would not work at all with the favorites section on the tab.

Its not a tab issue, its a HC issue. For whatever reason, the free app isn't compatable with HC, but the paid app seems to be.

Across four different android devices, the XDA app has never, ever been stable enough for me to use for longer than 2 minutes.

No, it's an Android problem. It has the same issue on 2.2 with the Viewsonic GTab and on my Samsung Galaxy S with 2.1. It's been known about for months, but XDA doesn't seem inclined to fix the free app. Go figure.
I only have FCs when I sign in. If I don't sign in no issues at all.
Usually FCs on me when I try to view a thread.
If they have known about this problem and done nothing about it it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in paying for the app.
In addition... This is a developers site and they cannot develop a stable app? That doesn't reflect well either.
I agree. I had this FC issue with my elocity A7, besides my A500. I purchased the premium and have not had this problem. I can even send reply, could not do that before with the free apk.

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.
They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

i had the fb app on my tablet and one day it just disappeared...they took it down.
Use Friend Me
I use Friendcaster. Lots more options and when you say No Notifications..... it stops polling and giving you notifications. I notices a lift in battery when I uninstalled it. Friendcaster just seems nicer and smoother to me.

Now it will no longer install. It will download, but will never proceed to install.

I've had that happen with the market a few times too. I normally just back out and go back in until it finally works.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...
I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.
Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

Mine does that with messages too, and yes, chat is a must. At least chat works on the Facebook app though. That's about the only good thing about it. While we're on the subject of honeycomb apps and notifications not working; how hard is it for Words With Friends to get notifications to work?! Is it really that difficult? I play a word and THEN it tells me it's my turn.
This Facebook app works just fine in Honeycomb.

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.
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.

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.

I am tired of Facebook not working properly, I have gotten used to the fact that I am not getting all of my friends updates(can't seem to figure out why, I have looked everywhere) but now I am not even getting any notifications of the few friends updates I do normally get. I have tried clearing the cache of the main app and nothing, I have also re-install the app and nothing. Is it the app or the tab? Am I missing any settings? Really getting annoyed, I have also tried different Facebook apps and they too do not show all updates. Anyone care to shed a light on any of these issues.? Thanks.
