So I was able to get DL17 working last night. Now I'm having an odd issue with FB. I'm attempting to update the factory FB, which is apparently around version 1.2. I attempted to update to the latest version (1.6.1) and it keeps crashing while loading. Everything downloads fine and says it successfully installs, but it keeps crashing.
What am I doing wrong?

The facebook official app really sucks, badly, each update keeps getting worse. i would recommend use friendscaster
yeah, you aren't doing anything wrong. it's 99% likely to be the app

if you have root i would suggest using titanium backup to delete your facebook and then update thru the market, my wife was having this issue
I have Friendcaster on my droid... I'm not completely sold on it, either. Although, the paid version might be better than the free one.
I was able to send her the apk for 1.6.0 (the latest is 1.6.1) and THAT apparently updated just fine. If she has any issues updating from now on, I may point her to Friendcaster.
I just use the mobile site

I did that on my old Blackberry, as the FB app for it bit. But, I like the options some of the apps vs. the mobile site. The problem I'm finding between the 3 is inconsistencies of what you can do. I know I used one to tag friends. I know the regular FB app, you can't add check-in places (you can with mobile site or Friendcaster). Seems odd that the 3 would be different.
Touch.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook.com in my opinion

I thought you were supposed to be able to, but I never saw the + to add one. It really wasn't a HUGE issue, but I was trying to add one for my house and my in-laws house. Had to use Friendcaster to do that.
Just start typing the name of the place you want to add and when Facebook can't find it, it will say "add [check in place]"

There is a new update in the market Facebook for android 1.3.0. Try it.

Also can a mod please move this to the apps section.

Why are you asking that? It seems to me battery drains since I updated facebook, but I do not know how see if my phone is sleeping properly. I installed more apps when i get the update and i cannot be sure it is because or facebook or another one.
Did you noticed that as well?
For me it is definately the FB app that is doing it. I can see it in the app "spare parts".
It was fine before I upddated it to this version now my phone won't sleep.

I have this problem as well after updating. The battery drains too fast. I just uninstalled the update and then it's back to the previous version that's preinstalled on the phone.
Done the same here :-( hope they fix the problems asap!

It's probably not so much an X10 problem as it is an application problem.

Gotta say, I like the new version, but the battery thing kinda sucks. Old one, here I come!
I have no issues with the phone not sleeping, I only check the app a couple of times each day, no auto update just manual, and I kill it after use.
I like my phone to run lean lol
Well at my x10 it kill my battery, but my girlfriend got x10 mini pro, and that work ok. Use a bit more then 1.2 but not so much.
But on my x10 its a batterykiller :-(
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I do not use task killer/manager so i cannot do that. My phone works better since i don't use them. And I check facebook many many times a day, so manually kill the app is not a solution for me.
Anyway it does't work in landscape mode, at least initially... so
This update is a crap for me.
I read a couple of days back that the wildly popular game on iOS - Angry Birds has been released for android...however I'm not able to find the application on the market.
Could it be an android 1.6 limitation or a region restriction?
Also if someone has the .apk file for it...could you please upload it...i would be really grateful to you! Thanks !
you have a PM
I was just a little late also. I guess they pulled it pretty quick. I signed up for their distribution emails, so hopefully they will open it back up and let me in!

If you tap the screen while it's loading, the game loads up just fine.
It also runs incredibly smoothly, and for the moment, has better graphics than the iPhone version.
And look at that, it's not a 1.6 problem. Yay.

Install Error...
Hi Team,
I downloaded the APK file thru Mediafile listing.
I am having problems installing this.
First, I downloaded the APK, uploaded to the phone via Bluetooth, then used Astro to browse to the APK file, and launched the application installer,
As with any application installer, it warns what specific android functions this app is going to access, I moved forward,keep clicking on install..and it keeps bringing me back to the same page, telling me about what specific android functions this app is going to access, I keep clicking on install, is not doing it!
Why?
My phone is rooted with a R2BA026 firmware & allowed unsigned installations (thru applications settings)
Any help?
Also, its confirmed to work on 1.6 as per: http://androidandme.com/2010/09/game...ndroid-market/
Also, wanted to know: I googled the mediashare file link, the official file name is: com.rovio.angrybirds_lite.apk (11.41M)
Now, what am I doing wrong?
There's no reason for an App not to work on Android 1.6 anyway, the Android SDK makes it really easy for a developer to develop a single apk for basically all versions of the OS starting from 1.6 by just setting one line in a XML file. (1.5 is different since it has too much limitations)
The only reason for an app to skip 1.6 would be OpenGL ES 2.0 (most app only use OGL ES 1.1 or use a fallback renderer) or the absolute need of multitouch (applications generally catch the error and fallback to singletouch events in that case tough.)
Really applications that don't work on Android 1.6 are badly written (*cough* Twitter) and even those using NDK shouldn't need android 2.x. (*cough* Mozilla)
Anyone else having issues with the market right now? When I try to download or update an app the download will appear to start and immediately stop. No errors reported. I have tried clearing market data even restored a nandroid backup from yesterday that was known to be good. Still the same problems.

The market app was running fine this afternoon but tonight it stopped working. Apps will show as Downloading and the download icon will momentarily show up in the notification bar (for less than a second). After the icon disappears, the status changes to Download Unsuccessful.
This is happening on every app (new installs and updates). I cleared the data and cache of the Market app and rebooted a few times but I get the same result. I assume this has to be a Market issue...
Same issue here.

Is there a way of getting these back and also what happens when there is updates available? will i be notified of these or not?
I find a specific app in the markdet that i have installed it shows as installed, its just when i go into the my apps part.

I have a similar issue though it lets me log in and read my feed but when I try to update status it closes on me. So now I've uninstalled the app and logged in through chrome (which has a similar ui appearance as the app does) and then I made a home screen short cut for my news feed. So its not a lot different than having the actual app. Honestly might be better for performance overall since the app is kind of a data/battery hog.
But I guess Ill ask if you have the issue with duplicate sms threads in Google messenger app. I had to switch to hangouts which works but just wondering if you have the issue and/or a fix.
I am also stock 2.1 but on stock kernel. Unrooted and locked bootloader.
Looks like it could be an issue with the Facebook app itself. Seems to be a lot of issues being reported after the last update. Mine is the same won't load.
Same problem here. Able to log in facebook app but it crashes the moment it goes to the newsfeed. clean wipe hasn't helped. :/

You can fix this by uninstall Facebook and install Facebook v46.0.0.26.153. I'm not able to post link on xda right now so just google it !
EDIT :
The beta version 49 seems to work too.
I guess it has to do with individual app permissions settings in OP2. Some apps will malfunction if they are not designed with some permissions restricted. Can you check it if all permissions are active for facebook app in settings?
I am also facing the same issue Facebook crashes just after logging in ....
alternate solution is download Facebook Lite from play store by the time issue get fixed

Facebook Lite is not available in France. So I use the v44 and it works.
it's a facebook issue, not a OPT issue. If you read in play store, many users have same problem and use other devices
