facebook app refuses to update....

anybody elses facebook app refusing to update since last night??

you can check the status here
developers.facebook.com/live_status
sorry not able to post link as its my first post
Just checked and mine still don't work, after checking the status which says it works

For those who don't know facebook had it's biggest crash to date between the hours of 7pm and 9pm BST on the 23/9/10. They are still in the process of getting everything back to normal and i think it is just the remote applications side that is still effected. i have seen some information on bbc.co.uk that says they are hoping to have everything back to normal at some point today

i wondered why that was - bit unfortunate.
i guess even the developers couldnt update thier status to 'long night as work'

thanks guys, that makes sense, just wondered if it was just me or not because the missus' iPhone app was working just fine.....
but then i suppose that would get priority....lol....

Working!
Try logging out of the Facebook app, then logging back in again! That fixed mine!!

Oh God, I made hard reset yesterday for that s::: issue!!!! Damned Facebook!!
Wish being told before!!

log out didnt work earlier, but it has this time....
good call........

sorry to hear that....
the golden rule is "always consult XDA before a hard reset....."

yeah I did it but yesterday it seemed that I was the only human being with that issue on Earth,so...(chainsaw)

Guess i'm the 2nd human on earth with this issue..
Logging out just helps to initiate the first update, but does not solve the issue permanently.
Any ideas? where would be a good source to get the latest status on this issue?
strange that it is not on the 1st page of the forum, i guess most HD2 users already transported to Android.

Dude mine has been doing this for days now and it really p#*ses me off. Your right though, logging out and then logging bag in solves the update problem for that instance only, it will then fail to update from there on in.
Whats really annoying is the facebook app is pretty crap anyway, and now I have a pretty crap app that doesn't even work! lol
Ya know what guys, I might go and buy an iphone this afternoon in a dirty protest! (thats my attempt at a little light hearted humour by the way) lol

same here :-(
using m.facebook.com instead

last reviews all on Marketplace say its broken too :-(
excellent that M$ have noticed and fixed it lol

XDA Facebook
You're all right, the standard Facebook app is pants anyway - so this just compounds things! All I can suggest is that we support Joe_Coolish in his work to bring us the XDA Facebook App - currently on Beta 3.0, with a road map for completion later this year! His work so far has been great, and it already has a much better feel that the MS pile of [email protected] FB app!

Plz be careful!

well guys i always wondered when it was going to happen and tonight was the night. on my way home tonight i was looking for my phone to call my fiancee to see if she wanted me to pick her up anything to eat. i reached for my looked down to find the power button to turn the mofo on looked up and i was facing a curb. i hit the brakes and cut hard left spun out and started swerving right my whole left side met the curb and needless to say my car is completely ****ed!! luckily my friend owns a body shop and was able to get a tow truck out to my car asap b4 any cops showed up. unfortunately im looking at about 2 thousand bones in repairs. so.... well just be careful things happen so fast and i really am lucky that this was all that happend. my car is tiny and could have been much worse. call me stupid if you want cause its true so just take care and dont use ur phone when your driving no matter how good of a driver you think you are.

Great advice. Good to hear u didn't get hurt.

Well said, friend. Glad you're ok!

Ouch. Glad you're unharmed. Also count your blessings since $2000 is somewhat more manageable than when there are cops and other parties are involved.

Glad to hear you're okay. Even though $2000 is a lot of money, it's nothing compared to your own safety and well being.
And don't try to use your phone while driving again.

I'm an excellent driver...

At least you didn't damage your EVO.

I always strap my EVO in the back in the baby seat and put a crash helmet over it just in case.

If it was an iPhone you would have died.

My phone is seated on the car air vent, also doing anything on your phone while the car is in motion is pretty dumb, if I must make a phone call I wait for a red light , or use Google voice action do dial.

I keep mine in a windshield mounted dock. That makes glancing between the phone and the road really quick. Even then I still won't mess with it unless I'm stopped or on a straight section of road with no traffic.

Hooking up to a bigger touchscreen

Is it possible to hook the incredible up to a bigger touchscreen? Here's what I have in mind...I have been working on plans for a center console for my truck and I have been thinking about building a dock for the phone and hook it up to an 8" touchscreen...mainly for navigation, but it would be nice to be able to control the phone without having to pic it up. If it can't be done then I can just get a monitor instead of touchscreen.

Well you could utilize the TV Out but touch capabilities probably wont happen but it is possible..

I was just thinking about this the other day... I searched around but couldn't find any answers.
Although mounting a tablet in the dash also crossed my mind... cost and not being able to take calls ruined that idea though..

I believe the android tablets can be made to make phone calls, that plus bluetooth and it could work

Yes they can be made to take calls... I used my Archos 101 with sipdroid and google voice as a phone for about a week. A little buggy but it works.

A tablet would cost a lot more than any other option though. I just want to know if it will work.

Anyone know the answer to this for sure either way?

WHY?

interesting indeed the things people think of on here. post pictures of your creation for us to see when you are done for i am intrigued!

I'll try to keep this updated if I do in fact build it. It might be something I work on this week if I can find the time.

looks like an interesting project... I'll have to subscribe to this one

Blew my SGS2 up...

couldnt believe it. had my phone since day release and loved it so much, been using CM7 since 1st nightly and i plugged it into my hifi to play some music and as soon as i pluged the headphone jack into the phone it fried it lol.. everytime i plugged my batt into the phone it instanly got very hot.. no screen nothing. tried using jig but no luck.. just a major hot phone around the camera and screen.
took it to be repaired under manafacture warranty...
just cant beleive it!

I feel sorry for you, man.
Something similar happened to me a few days ago, after a buggy shutdown phone got really hot.
Luckily I've touched it before it fried so I removed the batt and let it cool down, scary as hell!

Oh my GOD!If that had happened to me,I'd have gotten a heart attack,a stroke and my balls would fall from the rest of my body!I am really sorry man.
And I am overclocked at 1.6GHz...Jesus!

Thread was a dissapointment.. Was hoping for a story about you being a demolition guy and had left your phone by the tnt and accidently blew it up
But anyway, Unlucky dude, Do you have it rerpaired yet?

So they got you covered, even while you have CM7 installed. Will they like that? I'd really expect them to ignore the whole custom firmware aspect. Maybe the hardware is this damaged, they can't check that.

well they will never know.. its proper ****ed tbh... just dead..i reackon myhifi some how pumped voltage thru to the phone and blew up some resistors or sumut on the phone.
i made sure after i realised i couldnt get anything from the phone that they wouldnt get it fixed as i cooked it to make sure... i left batt in and charger to fry it even more to make sure...
+ tnh honest its hardware related.. cant see why even if they could find out jtagging it they would blame a rom for the cause...

Mine had i problem with the usb.
The S2 kept thinking it was charging which kept the wifi on and caused mayor battery drains.
Luckily I got the phone back to stock when it was a bit stable on the usb and could send it back after doing the jig connect.
Got repaired in 1 1/2 week

Well I Had My HTC Fun >:(

Got my first one launch day it got so hot that you could hardly hold it through a Otterbox commuter case and the lag oh my god it was horrible just a dud phone. Well got #2 yesterday the volume rocker on it sticks and you cannot turn it down with it, and by it sticking you try to turn it off and just resets. When it is sticking even the slider refuses to work just keep returning to the top. I would like to love the phone it is a nice piece of hardware but these issues are just way to much for a flagship phone imho. I still may try one more but getting pretty fed up with them to be honest. May prettier and fancier but my Nexus 4 or Note 2 have never let me down yet. See what Monday brings when I return this one..... Sorry I had to vent so frustrated

I understand the frustration, no flagship phone should have QC problem but unfortunately they exist. They say 3rd time is the charm. Sorry to see you leave if you decide to go. Good luck.

Just ask for the latest batch of phones when you go in.. If you're lucky enough to return to a retail outlet, you can check the device before they move it to your account. I went through literally 5 phones on my last go around. I was determined to find a decently built device.
