I think the most of u recognise this problem, when you watch a video on facebook it stops after a couple seconds.
This worked for me:
Go to settings- apps - xperia with facebook and disable this app.
Now uninstall facebook and install it again.
Please let me know or this worked for you!
Sorry, only worked for a day.
Im sorry for opening new threat and spamming the forum.

Seems to work for me. But need to give it a couple of days to be sure.
This only work for a few hours then the problem come back. You need to install older version of Facebook, version 5 in order to fix the issue.

Both: Sony should make a phone that would run android apps like on other phones, you can blame sony for ****ing something up in their phone so it wont run one of the most populair app properly. But you can blame facebook aswell for having an app that wont work properly on a certain percentage of all android phones. And this bug is out for quite a while so both compagnies (facebook in special) have had the time to fix it if they wanted to..
I don't expect from Sony to put a team at one bug in a specific app searching for an fix, but I expect from facebook that they fix the bug and update their app. You can't tell me that facebook doesn't has a team for bugfixes.
Mine was finally fixed after the latest sony update. I still get the error message but only after the video has played in full. Happy days

Official Facebook app for Android literally just released minutes ago on the Android Market!
I come across it browsing the new apps and it was right up the top!!
Get it while it's hot! It has been long awaited!
Just got it and i like it, however, it still sort of buggy and certainly will be updated soon...
If i click on pictures someone posted from the feeds, the app crashes. Some of the functions will launch the browser, but it's a good start.
** Quick update **
Does come with a widget , No Live chat and No access to Inbox
This app need too much work. Please match the iphone app.
doesnt do much, i was hoping to be able to access my facebook phonebook. but nope.
in a way its better than x.facebook.com because you can comment and like stuff.
double post sorry.
You can access the facebook phone book as a live folder on the desktop. Just press and hold > Folders > Facebook Phonebook.
Yep , The facebook phonebook is pretty awesome ,
I wonder if the iphone app has this? Damn facebook favourtising the iphone and leaving android high and dry for quite a while.........
I wonder if it is even possible we will have the chat function in this app?
Its an early release so it sucks...Hopefully they will correct the bugs

It's not a tuma!
Err I mean, it's not an official facebook app. It's just called "facebook" and it uses facebook's icons, which may or may not annoy facebook itself.
Check out on http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=74769995908 :
This application was not developed by Facebook.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before i did a search but couldn't find anything.
Had my DHD for a week now and i love it but i do have an issue when watching video's on the youtube app...
Watching the video's is fine but when i come to exit from You tube (by selecting the back button) the phone gets really really laggy and unresponsive, i tried to uninstall the app in app management but it doesn't let me have that option the only option i have is to uninstall the updates.
i've tried that and reinstalled the updates but it made no difference.
I also tried downloading an app killer to see if that would sort the unresponsiveness out but it doesn't make any difference either, i need to restart the phone then everything is fine...
Anyone else have any issue's ?
Or any ideas what i can do ?
Thanks
I had the same problem. Uninstall the updates and don't reinstall then.

Yea having same problem with this app, had to restart my phone by taking out the battery
I came across this bug this morning.
Ill try removing the updates.
had the same problem for over a week now.
its nothing to do with the update, i ve had the problem before the youtube app update and afterwards.
furthermore, i cant log in to my youtube account for my subscription video either. whenever i try to log in it gets stuck.
looks like a Sense related issue.
I removed the updates and mine is now working fine

Same prob here.
It seems to happen since I applied the OTA.
Uninstall the update and now it works. Hopefully Google will solve the problem ..
worked for me as well
I've already master reset my phone, and the issue persists, so don't bother posting that as a solution.
There has been an issue going on for weeks where media playback stops working. Nothing plays, not even YouTube or media via the Flash Player. The YouTube player just says touch to try again. The Flash and Media Players error out saying the format isn't supported.
Not even the Camera or Video recorders work (gives a generic error message). The only way to get it to work is to power the phone down and back up, until it works again.
Dunno what the issue is. Is anyone having the same issues?
Stock 2.2 KB5 never modded phone with the stock SD card and the only 3rd party apps I have installed are the obvious ones (Twitter, Facebook, Engadget, XDA App, Google Apps, Beautiful Widgets, etc.). Prolly have < a page of 3rd party apps installed.
N8ter,
I was having a similar issue with YouTube and Pandora. After a certain time neither would work, Youtube would give the error message to touch again, and Pandora (or any other music player) would pull up the song it was about to play, then skip it and go to the next one, and on and on. The issue wouldn't go away until I restarted my phone.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a fix for it. I tried clearing the data, cache, etc. with no luck. I have a hunch that it might have to do with an app or a program the runs data in the background or with data itself, switching between wifi and data, or with flash. Of course I could be way off too, who knows.
Right now I'm running Bionix NextGen 1 ROM with Overstock kernel and so far the issue has not come up. Keeping my fingers crossed, and hope our fellow xda'ers have a solution to this problem.
I'm wondering if the OS is shutting down a needed service or something in the background. It's been happening since before KB5 update, but I haven't noticed it being so bad until recently because I put all my music on the Vibrant and it happens when playing audio files as well...
Oddly, ringtones and notification tones still function.
Hi N8ter, DO you have the twitter app installed? I ask this because my sister was having the same issue a couple of weeks ago (we both have vibrants running bionix 1.3.1 ) i really didnt know what was going on so I kind of ignored her issue. It was not until I created a twitter account and downloaded the twitter app that I started having the same problem. I removed the twitter app from both our phones and we havent had the issue for weeks now.
Its odd i know but it worked for me...
You know what, I have been having the same problem, and yes, I do have the Twitter app installed. I hope that is it (I'll try to report back here after a few days, but due to the sporadic nature of the problem, I won't be able to know whether that works). thank you for the suggestion.
I can't really believe that the twitter app might be the problem, but it has been 24 hours without the twitter app and I havent had to restart because my media files/you tube are unrecognizable. I read it somewhere else on xda. I will follow up if it seems that twitter is not the problem.

Yep. I just went to the T-Mobile site and found:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsung-Vibrant/vibrant-file-glitch/td-p/760507/page/2
I just removed the Twitter app and reinstalled Seesmic for Twitter access (not big loss, it's not like Twitter had C2DM support and the phone natively syncs contacts and pictures anyways...).
I'll see how it goes.
Thanks guys... I never had media on my Vibrant until recently (the HD7's external speakers make the Vibrant sound like a Surround Sound system - don't even need headsets for this phone!) and the issue was starting to make me want to beat a baby...
Thank you so much everyone. xda ftw!
When I try to upload pictures on my FB via the application, it reaches 100% and then I get an error that the transfer failed. If I do it on the browser it works.
What seems to be the problem? I am on HC 3.2 and my Xoom is unrooted.
Works fine here. Try signing out, clearing data, signing in, and trying again.
No, it didn't work.
I can't see my albums either.

TBH, that app is flaky as h*ll, adn gives nothing but problems. I use the mobile browser for most facebooking. It's far superior. However, that doesn't answer your question...
I seem to remember the latest version of that app fixing that issue. Are you on the latest by chance?
Yes I am. I even removed and installed the app again.
No answer here?
The best thing to do for your Facebook needs is to download a third party app or possibly search Google for the .apk of an older version and sideload it. A lot of people have been complaining about the latest update in the comments on the Market page for the Facebook app.
[BEGIN RANT]
I do wish they'd release a proper tablet version of their app already. The current app looks alright even if it's stretched but a dedicated tablet version would do way more justice. Then again, the Facebook people dragged their feet developing an Android app before they finally released their own so them dragging their feet here doesn't surprise me.
They drag their feet with the Facebook Android app while constantly screwing around with the layout of the site confusing users who are already still coming to grips with the last layout change. That and just their way of doing things in general would have had me delete my account long ago if it weren't for that site being my only means of contacting certain people.

And Now the iOS Version gets EVERYTHING First and also they have a iPad Version,New Crappy UI and we cant even upload our photos off of the official
"Fixed" app :/
On the official Sony Support site, they suggested to uninstall Facebook App and to re-install it - and some suggested to clear its data and try again, all these are temporary solutions
I downgraded my Facebook by uninstalling the current version and installing an older version. The version I have chosen is version 5 (current in July 2004 is v.12) - V.5 allows me to choose which app I can play the video on and gives me the possibility of downloading it as well (through ES Download App)
It looks old, I lost the function of adding a picture into the comments (can do it on PC anyhow) otherwise I am happy with this version
Here you can get it, (you can try newer versions for the video error issue like V.6 or V.7 as well or even V.9) as I was looking for the version that allows me to download videos (you can see all other versions at the bottom of the page in the following link)
http://www.androiddrawer.com/15634/download-facebook-5-0-0-26-31-app-apk/
And other solution use Facebook on browser...

^ which for non-root users is also the best way to avoid frequent wake locks caused by the Facebook app.
mine doesn't give me a error message on facebook when play a video anymore,....
all i did was "clear cache", "clear data", "uninstall", reboot and installed Facebook from the Play Store
Any Facebook beta user here? Since yesterday's 15.0.0.0.2 update, video problem looks to be solved.. I am even getting lockscreen notifications just like iphone.. Can anybody plz confirm?

Seems to work for me. Thanks
After 17.1.2.A.0.314 update, the error is gone at the first few seconds of playback. The error message comes out at the end of the video playback. It means you can watch the whole video without error, only when the video ends the error message comes out.
after 3 days without a error video glitch,... that error message came back again,.... i guess that uninstall method is only a temporary fix,... (im still on 17.1.1.A.0.402)
I can confirm joining the beta program and downloading the beta via the play store has resolved video playback
Didn't reboot or clear anything, just upgraded and it's working now
The FB app is crap. Has always been and will probably always be. I use FB via browser.

Alpha tester is v15 and beta tester get v14
I found a link somewhere I forgot, but basically just log off facebook.
Go to setting>App, then slide to the left tab for all apps, scroll down close to bottom to look for Xperia with Facebook, disable that app.
I tried on mine and it works.

Thanks guys ..
I have tried all the above mentioned solutions, they were all temporary as I said in the OP .. Downgrading the FB application also gave the the chance to be able to download any video posted over FB, so it is not just a solution for the error message it is an added bonus
I too have the video playback error. I solve it by clicking Internet setting in Wireless &network. Hope this helps.
