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.

Though it seems the market FB is sucking alot more battery then the stock one :-(

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.

Facebook Crash

Hi there
I am using CM7 ... I recently found that facebook crashes when I press "Friends" or "Messages" ...
Please help

I too found this so I use Facebook flow found in the market only thing you can't do is chat hope this helps
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

i found this problem also while using "place" and "groups"

I really can't stand the Facebook app. Every single time they change anything something else in the app is being f*cked up. Are you sure it's just because of the ROM you're using?

May be... A friend of mine is using Ginger Villain ..He doesnt seem to have a problem... But again...he hasnt updated his ROM

Uninstall and install 1.5.2 version
That one works right
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

It's fixed in the FB update, that came out this morning.

The problem is determined as the fault by Facebook app. Everything returns fine after updating the app today.

I get facebook notifications, but when I select them, the app does not launch :/. Haven't reinstalled since I'm not that bothered TBF

Has facebook notifications every worked consistently on any phone? Perhaps uninstall the app and reinstall
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

Not to be off topic or anything but I always disable the Facebook notifications and use Gmail instead. Its way better and you get notified every time...no problems.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

I like the gmail idea, but I don't want loads of extra stuff in that particular account. Is there another workaround?

Gmail problem

I'm running the rom acs ics eh17 v6 with nubernel and theme with phone apk removed. Well for some reason I'm not getting any notifications from my gmail app anymore. But I can get my gmail with a 3rd party one. Is there something I did wrong that's causing my gmail not to work properly?

I had the same issue. I needed to go into Settings/Accounts and Sync, select my gmail account and recheck the options I wanted synced. This is the first time I ever had to do this after flashing a rom, perhaps the same thing has happened to you.

Contacts force closing

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.

Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

Most likely its because you installed the leaked Google+ app. Uninstall and your problem is solved.

I had the same problem when I freeze all the authentication apks.
The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english >_>

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)

I installed the afaod enhanced email and a couple games. It had to do with the autho apps I uninstalled. I reflashed my entire rom last night and everything is normal again. Thank you for all your help. Lesson learned. Don't uninstall any system apps!
