Facebook Live - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So Facebook Live became available for Android a few weeks ago.......thing is the Nexus phones don't seem to have it. Go figure lol. Has anyone made an APK of the Facebook app that has this feature included for Nexus phones?

Was wondering what the hold up is.

Facebook Live is only available for "verified" pages. Meaning celebrities.

I have a lot of friends that use facebook live so dont think its actually going by verified or celeb status. They might be rollin it out based on usage/location. The friends that I have seen using it are always posting stuff nonstop so maybe its not fully rolled out. Orrrr maybe hasn't been pushed to the nexus yet.

Oh ok well like I said, that's what FB said.

It was originally for celebrity or verified pages last year but was released in January or before for everyone on ios then announced the last week of February that it will be rolled out to Android starting in the US in the coming weeks... I have it on my old deactivated LG G3 but still don't have on my active LG G4. I don't understand why over a month later why it's not available. This will show in the Facebook app when you create a post as an icon to broadcast live with a person with circles around it

Facebook Mentions is for celebrity and verified pages. Facebook Live will be for everyone else. My wife has it on her Note 3 but I dont have it yet on my Nexus 6p and we both have the same build number of the Facebook app.

Yea and that's what I don't get. I've seen a Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 5, LG G3, and Droid Turbo have it and a Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, and Nexus 5 not have it. Even though it's the same version of Facebook, coming from the same Google Play Store that runs on the same OS. At first I though it was just a retarded Sam**** thing but it looks like all of the Nexus devices just got left out. I even tried getting a beta version of the next version of the Facebook app and that still didn't do anything. I guess the Nexus devices are too good for that lol.

My Facebook app had an update yesterday and now it's showing up on my Nexus 6P

Go back and forth from the news feed a few times; if that doesn't work, restart/FC the app. When it does happen, you'll think that the app is about to FC on you when you go to the news feed.

Minor tweaks. Definitely not worthy of its own thread.

I find it really odd Google made a point of saying the ota was coming mid-july then released it the day they announced it. I mean I believe its happening it just seems weird, saying that it was out TODAY!!1!1! Would've stolen the news day on every tech site and been free advertising.

It's only released to the people that went to the I/O and received the Nexus. It's not released to the general public yet.

That makes a little more sense, I still think it would've been good publicity to make that known with the official announcement, seems like something apple would do (in a good hype-building way).
They said in the keynote that this exactly what would happen.
You will receive a free galaxy nexus....minutes after booting it up you will receive a ota update to 4.1 preview.....

WP8 Facebook App: It better improve

Hey everyone,
I currently own a Nokia Lumia 900 and I must say the biggest letdown is with the Facebook app. Here is my list of annoyances:
1. Cannot search for new people to add
2. Pictures sometimes refuse to load or load blurry
3. How slow it is to open and then you have to wait again for the feeds to load. These need to be optimized.
So what I am hoping for is an updated version for WP8 which will be the app on par with the other platforms (iOS, Android).
Anyone else agree or like to add anything?
A lot of things need to change for windows phone to be better and the fb app is definitely one of them. Let's hope they get it right this time at Redmond.

The thing is that they do not develop the app themselves. It's a third party that does it and they've been doing an atrocious job that's for sure.

I agree and it's a shame as fb and Microsoft have a very close business relationship. They need to do better to compete with android and ios.

I use the Facebook app plenty of times and not experienced the WP version. Hopefully they can update it to match the android/iOS version. Is the people app any good?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
It barely gets updated too. The other platforms receive updates on a weekly/bi-weekly basis while the WP version gets them quarterly or so!
Maybe this will change with WP8. We shall see in a few weeks.

There is nothing more annoying than when you tap on a picture that is posted on someone's wall to see it and it hangs loading and nothing shows up.
Then I pick up my android tablet and do the same and the picture loads instantly.
They REALLY dropped the ball with this app!!

The official facebook app is written by M$ and i agree it needs a dramatic update, that said i feel confident this will not be an issue in wp8 but then i have been wrong before.

+1. I don't know how bad the WP facebook app having not used it but it must be really bad if everyone wants the android facebook app. It's terrible. Runs like crap even on the best hardware.

I don't think a facebook app is really needed when you have the browser. IE is more than capable of running facebook quite nicely.
According to what one regularly reads the Facebook Apps seem to be pretty terrible on all platforms. This does not surprise me given that Facebook itself is pretty unstable most of the time (login issues, Chat issues, etc.).
Still there is room for improvement on the App side as well.

If you ignore Sally and her Farmer friends it's actually all good.
Google+ is to say the least something everyone found great in the first 5 minutes and then forgot about, Twitter is an entirely different medium all together and does not really qualify for a comparison.
but it is of course totally up to you what you use and how you use it

Google+ is rubbish!
If you don't want app updates on your Facebook wall you can just set the filter options. And if you have people on there you don't care for just dump them off. I used to have hundreds of people but I didn't care about what they where up to so I got rid im now down to about 30 people close family and real friends and that's it. This was I get to use it for what its made for and that is to socialize with my friends. Google is gash for that its just a place to share advertisements for Google.

NFC Tag giveaway Alive - 11-19-2012

I stumbled across this recently and Thought I'd share since they claim its a free NFC tag. Who doesn't like free anyways? Free is good! I'm not sure when they are shipping out.
Current requirements: valid email address, shipping address, and a facebook account to like their page for special code token.
