Facebook.apk

I accidentally deleted the official Facebook app that came preloaded with my Iconia...now every time I attempt to download it from the Android Market it says not compatible with my device. What gives? Where can I get a copy? Did a google search for facebook.apk for some of those links look shady! Thanks.

The facebook app 1.6 isn't compatible with HC 3.1, so even if you get it it won't work, unless yoour not on HC 3.1 in which case no idea.

the original facebook app on the iconia was just a link to facebook.com. no app from facebook currently works on honeycomb. Download friend me from the market. It links into face book and gives a nice interface into facebook, honeycomb optimized.

This is absolutely not true i have facebook on my acer it is version 1.5.4 so, although 1.6 may not work, facebook does in fact work. You just need the right version.
that being said friend me is better on HC for sure.

i've always had the market facebook market app. The only problems are that widget and friend button doesnt work
edit
Las Facebook update works really well. Even the widget.
Try rooting your tablet and user market enabler

seems having a problem with the market and facebook, can't from the tablet get it
said : not available, retry... hu
on my second tablet I got the 1.6 I will extract it, and install on second tablet.. but it's weird

Just checked again and I can't even find the FB app on the market. The only day I can find it is if I got to GoChat and look under related apps. If I try to download it, I get the "the request you have made cannot be found.
I'm kind of just sticking to using FB in Dolphin HD. The desktop version on there works well enough.
I tried using Friend Me and although I love the interface, its missing much functionality and can't even get basics correct. Notifications are out of wack, can't refresh 'em and the app just doesn't seem to want to update the FB content. I have to logout and log back in in order to update my notifications.
Like I said, browser FB works well enough and GoChat for chat works perfectly.

It appeared on my Iconia last night and I downloaded it without any problems. I've also had problems downloading it in the past - I could find it on Market, but it couldn't be downloaded.

Friend Me app will do the job but you get ads on the bottom of the screen which I hate as much as not having FB on my tablet lol

i use social jogger for news feed and friendcaster for detailed interaction

facebook, netflix not compatible with a500

For the last few months I've Ben unable to update/install Facebook on a500. App does not show in marketplace app, does show on web android market but shows as not compatible with Acer. I've got factory install (of honeycomb) and received latest updates---though I had the problem prior to 3.1. Note I already have older version of Facebook when I was able to install (when I first got a500...just after release). I'm not interested in rooting if possible and believe issue must be related to configs on marketplace in my profile?
I'm sure the issue isn't very widespread or else this forum would filled with posts...anythoughts?

you are correct that it is currently not compatible. That is why on your Acer there is a Facebook link. It has nothing to do with your user settings on the marketplace. What you can do is look up on xda or on Google for the facwbook apk.

Download Friend Me from the market, it's the next best thing to an actual app from Facebook.
As far as Netflix, the only way right now is to root, download the app from the forum, download a patch and it'll work. Only downside is it causes problems with the camcorder function.

Maybe this can lead you in the right direction:

The Netflix fix does not cause me video can issues.

Don't know about net flix but i use the same black transparent Facebook app that I use on my mosaic powered captivate with no problems
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I use the dolphine browser HD for fb. Use a gesture for quick access. Set it to use https instead of http. Netflix won't work unless u root it. Look around for rooting options and apk for Netflix.
the Facebook link Acer provides sucks. I can't use it myself. Dolphine has webzine feature but if u like regular full fb, dolphin in desktop mode is perfect.

[Q] New Market and FC

Hello!
New Market on motorola Xoom Wi-fi every time I want to upgrade giving me FC. I don't know how to fix it. Tried to delete upgrade install on the Application but it is upgrading by itself. Tried to clear the cash, clear data.
Nothing helps.
Please, who know how to fix this problem? Looks like new Market doesn't work on Honeycomb.
Guys, help me, please? I really need your advice?
Thank you!

What market version do you have?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

If you have Documents to Go installed, remove it. It has a problem with the manifest and Dataviz needs to update it, you can use the version from their website in the interim.
Or grab today's free Amazon Apps, Quick Office and Quick Office HD.

Tried everything. Market. 3.1.6, market 3.3.1.1 or something like that, all of them giving me fc.
Guys, please, I need a solution. Can somebody give some advice, please? Or maybe somebody have old mafket app flashable trough cwm? Because google doing nothing for honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

The problem is almost certainly related to an installed app, if you don't have Documents to Go installed, started removing apps one at a time until the market begins working properly and report back when you identify the offending app.

I had a thread for the same thing a page or so back.
documents to go didnt seem to cause me much grief (but i removed it anyway), but i did have a problem with Enhanced Email FCing the market (which i also ended up removing on the xoom, working fine on the desire).
noticed my market updated itself to 3.3.1.1 (or similar) the other night too - same problems as the last version.
just waiting for ICS update now and will see if that fixes stuff - I imagine it will and/or devs will update their apps to ICS

Do you have apps that you side loaded that the market reported as not compatible? I get the market FC any time one of my side loaded apps tries to update.

I found that it was a certain alternative market that caused me to "loose" all of my apps... I thought that it was the new market and even went back to the moray 2.2.1 to have the old market.
I figured out it was that other market because I uninstalled it and bingo, I had my apps...
I was pretty stupid and used titanium backup to "force" the market links and ended up with one heck of a messed up android market.... Now I am working through that..

Uninstalled the app called "Download all files" and sims like everything working for now.
Thank you very much!
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

actually i think i had getjar on there... that's missing from the supermarché now - I wonder if that was the issue
i was also guessing that by the time ICS hits the xoom - and all the devs update their apps for that most of this issue should go away

FWIW, I had the exact same problem I uninstalled Enhanced Email and the problem went away. Too bad, I really like Enhanced Email!

Hoping to shed some light on "My Apps" section of market not working

like title says, hopefully this helps with the issue.
I have been having this problem for about a week and none of the fixes have worked for me. the only thing that has worked is re flashing my ROM (decks 1.3d) and then it starts working again. I have also flashed to a sense ROM and had the same symptoms.
So today I started totally fresh with ROM and kernel. Then i nandroided before i did DTA2SD because i thought a2sd might be part of the problem. "my apps" worked for me before and after i flashed a2sd but only showed about 10 of my apps.
next I decided to uninstall facebook and reinstall to see if that would make the rest of the apps show up. Facebook was installed on my phone but was not one of the apps showing up in My apps.
Well, after i uninstalled facebook I went back to my apps and Nothing was there again. So I reinstalled facebook and still nothing. so since that didnt work I restored the nandroid from before I did a2sd and rebooted and now "my apps" are there again but only the 10 apps.
I haven't been able to figure out whats going on but this is a huge pain for me because I actually read what changed when my apps update so going to app-brain then to market and back and forth is pretty time consuming.
I don't know whats going on but hopefully this helps somebody figure something out. I come here for a lot of help so I wanted to try to contribute something
edit: I do have another google account but it has never been synced to my evo, but it was synced to my Eris. I forgot to mention that after this last reflash, when it stopped showing apps, I went to settings and synced my other Gmail account then went to market and switched to that account and my apps that I had on the Eris showed up. Of course it stopped working once I switched it back to the right Gmail account. That makes it even more strange that at the same time it was broke with one account and working with another

And I just came back to my phone, had a notification for an app update but when I clicked it took me to my apps in market but did not show the app that needed updated

I don't think it's a rom thing, I think its a Google thing. I've used a bunch of roms and they all have that issue once in a while
We're comin from a pure power source.

Clear data on the market or use tb pro n u can use market doctor if clearing data doesn't work
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I finally figured out with this issue that the market was switching Google accounts on me. If you have more than one gmail account set up, when it happens hit Menu/Accounts and make sure it's on the right one.

I've had this issue, still have it actually. Every time I switch roms. Certain roms will
automatically start downloading my apps, and certain ones will not, they don't even
show up as things that I've downloaded.
No big deal. I use Android Commander to keep all of my apps backed up.
After any combination of partitioning/wiping/flashing, even if I restore a nandroid,
I verify that my apps are installed, if not, restore my backups. Then I open the
application manager, scroll down to market, clear cache and data, then I reload
the market, hit My Apps, and they are all in the list. If they need updates, I update.
This was already mentioned, but I figured I'd mention it again for good measure,
At least I always have a copy of the apps on the off chance that I forgot to nandroid
them, or the market 'forgets' what I had. I've flashed just about every rom I can
think of for the Hero and the Evo respectively, CM, AOSP, Sense based.. Never had
any problems this way.

Just use the app "Eris market fix" from the market it was made for the Droid Eris but works on Evo too. When your apps don't show u just open it click the fix market button reboot to recovery clear cache/dalvik boot back to your Rom and go to market > my apps and they are all back, works great when your market links on tb market doctor don't fix the market which I have had issues with lately but Eris market fix has worked everytime I've used it. Hope that helps the issue at hand its fixed my market about 3 dozen times, as mine breaks everytime i flash a new Rom lately or even if I flash the same Rom I'm on.

As noted before, you do want to be careful when using more than one Google account in the Gmail app. For whatever reason, sometimes the secondary account will try to be used for your Google interactions and will cause messes like apps not showing up or not updating correctly. I say this because that is what happened to me. Once I stopped using my other account in Gmail app everything worked again.

If you go to the Market web page from a computer, what happens? Log in as your primary account, whatever you use on your Evo. If it's synced to multiple phones, you'll be able to choose which one. Oddly enough, I only have one phone on my account and it shows two - one is my phone information and the other says "unrevoked" - I think this causes some of my issues with the Market. If your apps don't show, try downloading an app that you already have on your phone. Maybe it will trigger something when you push the app to your phone. If you still have your Eris and use the same apps on both phones, this could be the problem. As a last resort you could contact Google or whatever Market support there is. I can't say that it would do much good, but it's worth a shot.

A Strange App appeared in my installed apps

Hi guys,
i have a strange app in my google play installed app list.
I attached a screenshot so you can see.
It seems in some way connected to the Polaris Office, when I launch it Polaris lauch, when I disable Polaris via applications panel the Open Button in the Google Play panel disappears. (It is "Apri" in italian in this screenshot)
Some of you guys is experiencing this ?
I am not rooted and I have not sideloaded any app, always used Android Market...
Any clues ?

Happened to me as well, I think this should be reported to Google and Infraware ASAP.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565900

I'm un-rooted running totally stock and I had the app show up also. Not sure what it is, but I know I haven't installed anything I do not recognize.

Can confirm this as well on ARHD 3.1.0

I'm running US stock rooted and don't see anything like that on mine. It looks Korean though.
Maybe it's something the Polaris Office app or another stock app fetched recently. My Polaris Office app is not allowed access to the Internet.

I have this too. How do we investigate this further? I've reported it on the market but not comfortable having some unknown app which can not be uninstalled...

I also have this app and when I open it it runs the fille explorer in polaris office

This scenario sounds plausible, but it makes me wonder now why I don't have it. I am on stock and have uninstalled none of the prepackaged apps.

It's an app that is installed somehow onto the tablet. It is not uninstallable (using normal methods). It is somehow linked to Polaris Office.
If you root your phone, install Titanium Backup and then uninstall Polaris Office, then the app will disappear.
Strangely, I got this appear today for first time on my WW TF101 B60. I went back to stock ICS 403 using NVFlash and it said immediately after login that there was an update (from ASUS), which i installed. Upon login, I opened Google Play and saw this app for first time. I then install Titanium Backup (After rooting) and uninstalled Polaris office and the app went away.
I do not know where this app comes from, because I have reset it again with nvflash, checked market and it wasnt there, then applied ASUS update and checked market and still not there, even though Polaris office is still installed.
Weird

Hmm.. I'm stock and unrooted as well (always have been) with all updates, just checked my apps and I do NOT have this app in my list.
I wonder where you guys are getting it from..

Stock, unrooted B40 (is and always has been) and I have this app on my list in Google Play.

I'm pretty sure it's a bug with the new renamed Market failing to identify apps correctly.

I suppose it is a bug yes!
It just disappeared from my installed Apps.

yea i think its similar to this
