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.

DL30 and Facebook Notifications

Has anyone been able to get Facebook push notifications to work with the leak? They are supposed to be working worth 2.2 and higher. I also am aware that the Facebook app its less than perfect.

Mine are hit or miss. To be more direct, for the 15 or so notifications I had today, only once did they get pushed to my phone

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't received one push notification yet.

yeah im not getting any either

how do you set notifications to push? only setting i see is 30 - 1hr - 2hrs - 3hrs - 4hrs

The whole point of push is instant. I know that they only work for certain things. Trying to find out exactly what they are at the moment. This would be the only thing I miss from my BB

I think the only things that get pushed is whatever is listed in the settings which are: messages, friend requests, and event invites. There's no option to turn wall post on and off so Im assuming it doesnt get pushed

On my wifes droid 2 there is a "Push" option listed where you have the 30 minute, 4 hour, etc choices. I have tried 3 different roms, Kaos, aosp, and several of the dl30's roms and this option never shows up on this phone. I do not restore my FB settings each time either, but totally reinstall it.
From reading around on facebook it seems that all the Galaxy S phones, even those with offical froyo, do not have the push option. It seems that overall the support for the push notification on FB is not very good and that tey do not work on a lot of phones currently.

I've received them for those mentioned by jepr0x11, but not for other notifications.

I don't believe android supports a true push like blackberry does, although I think 2.2 does somewhat implement push...pretty sure fb just polls the server at a time interval set by the user tho
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Yup Perfectly
Yeah the Facebook push notifications have been working for me perfectly! On eclair (2.1) they would never go through and i would have to manually go check if i had new messages or things like that but now with this Froyo it works perfectly! But at least for me its the same as what "jepr0x11" said.

I wish our fb app was as good as the one for Iowa but judging on how facebook and google have been bumping heads, I don't think facebook is in a rush to upgrade their android app. Is that a run on sentence? Haha
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Its not an issue with DL30 rather the FB app that doesn't support wall post notifications. Had the same problems on OG through DL09. All other notifications work as normal. All we can do is turn on email notifications and hope for am FB app update.

Getting a ton of force closes

It just started today. Anyone else?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Nope may want to check the latest app that you have installed or any recent updates
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yeah backtrack your apps install and see what is causing the FC's.
I have two with a third on the way(long story) but nothing wrong with any one of them. Before the update the first one had a few lockups on the browser but after the update neither one had any lockups or FC's.
I have installed all types of apps just to see what will or will not work. Very few FC's if any at all. But I kept track of which apps caused the FC's to remove them until they get updated.

Its on apps like CNN and Facebook which have been working fine before. I guess I will try to track it back.

i get a lot of force closes with the browser and the CNN app. try killing the process as well as the cached process. theres two options. you will see it under 'running applications'

Only force close for me from the Facebook app so far is when I try to load the home screen widget. Slightly annoying.

I've had more FCs than I do on my rock-stable Droid 2 with Fission, esp. in the browser, but I suspect it's because Honeycomb is new.
It'll get more stable as Google handles bug reports and as devs learn how to use the new APIs.
Also, strict mode, which I need to get on, myself.

The FCs I get are retarded. I only seem to get them when I'm exiting out of the app anyways. I did get a FC once when I was using the Facebook app going from the stream to the home page thing, but it didn't actually close the app. So it's more annoying than anything.

the facebook widget and app are not designed for honeycomb, and many have stated it FCs. i would not use it for now. I use the app and it seems to work fine (not pretty, but works).
Also, OP. I used to get a tons of FCs in the browser and CNN. I cleared caches and uninstalled, but sometimes still the same thing. Try rebooting. I know it sounds cliched and the standard windows answer, but it honestly worked for me. I haven't had a FC in a while...knock on wood.

facebook is hit and miss. Sometimes after a boot the facebook app will work. Sometimes it won't. When it isn't working it will just fc constantly and is completely useless. The add account never works. The widget never updates.
Facebook is uninstalled till they fix it.

I get FC randomly, on random apps.. I report all of them.

Important to everyone about FC's, make sure you report them via the in system prompt that happens when they FC

Glad I'm not tithe only one who reports them all. Ha. :]

Iv been getting a lot of FC's also.. even before I installed apps.. just seems that this is a lot more buggy then it should be.

Only FC I get is with the xda app, but that bug has been around for a long time. I dont use the facebook app and stopped using the CNN widget due to it slowing down the home screen. The app works fine for me though. On stock 3.0.1

New FaceBook Issues After Update

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.

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

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?

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
