[Q] Facebook app stuck - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Facebook has been stuck on old news feeds starting from about 6 hours ago. Meaning, that everytime I open up the app, feeds from 6 hours ago are noted as the most recent. When I manually hit refresh, then it corrects itself and all the real recent feeds come up. Any ideas?

try cleaning the apps cache, and restoring to defaults. see if that helps. ironic, and now that i'm thinking about it since Google Plus came out i don't think i used Facebook but more that about 6 times since i went live on G+.

Thanks, that fixed it. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Google+ is great but after the initial excitement, everyone in my circles started getting over it and the activity has died out. Kind of a shame because I really did like what it brought to the table.

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.

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.

+1... funny thing is that I was able to get some apps to download/update after several tries.
Yes. They seem to be having some issues.
issues here too. cm6
yeah same here. grrr
Ok, just glad I'm not the only one. Was going to flash a new ROM, but I'll wait till this gets worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
HA!! I just switched to a new ROM and I have been posting in the devs thread telling them the ROM isn't allowing me to download anything from the market. Oops! At least I know where the problem is coming from now though. Too bad I have wiped my phone and now can't download Titanium Backup to restore.
Also I have tried 3G, 4G and Wifi. The market just isn't working.
Yeah, maps won't update. Guess ill have to wait. Now says my maps aren't even installed.

1 out of 3 downloaded (smart keyboard pro) maps and another app are hanging as well. I was wondering what was going on. Glad I saw this thread I was considering a wipe. Using calkulins rom.
This is driving me crazy.
It goes from "Starting download" to "Download paused"
dumb
Same here. Started this afternoon when I went to update some apps. Goes straight to download paused (never even seen that before) and after some time says download was unsuccessful. Tried downgrading market but it didn't help. I hope Google gets the market issues fixed soon. They keep secretly updating it and half the time it works and the other half it gets serious bugs.
What a cluster, but I'm glad It's not just me.

Facebook session has expired problem

I don't understand why it keep expiring about every 20 mins I have to log back into my facebook account I'm refering to the one that's intergrated on the phone not the facebook app. Is there anyway to fix this problem?. I'm running stock di18 by the way.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. Just started happening this past week. I have three things that currently use a FB login, the built in sync (which is the one that keeps expiring), the facebook android app (which I have sync turned off because it never got the pictures and what not in my contacts) and the Launcher Pro widget.

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.

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.

API Limit Reached error on Falcon Pro

Just bought this app yesterday after hearing good things and after the stock Twitter app was letting my GPS go haywire. Enjoying it mostly but I've been getting this error when actively using Twitter and refreshing the timeline feed. This has never been a problem for me on the stock Twitter app. How can I fix this?

This is known as twitter jail... You refreshed too much within an hour or day in one third party app and have to wait.
