Lol well the stupid Facebook App devs did it again do these fools not test things before they push them to the app store? Updated last night while sleeping and now won't stay open.more than a few seconds without crashing. Anyone else seeing this ? I am running 8.1 July update.
Facebook lite and the mobile site on chrome work fine.
So.it seems this is either an app or server problem it started in Europe https://www.express.co.uk/life-styl...wn-android-app-crash-not-working-social-media
The real solution is to not use Facebook.

This app seems buggy. I have updated to the latest on the Market. It fixed other issues. But the "Checking for Data" shows alot. It is as if the app is having trouble accessing the Facebook server.

OK. May be my network coverage then.
Also, for anyone interested, here is a thread where you may report issues to the developer @ MS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480365
Definitely was the network. The app has been good all week.
The app is a nightmare, it barely works for me. I wish these developers would fine tune and beta the app to the public before RD OR take a look at other Facebook apps (cough iPhone cough) and use that as a stepping stone.
so i was looking at timescape and my twitter updates didn't have a picture, just a blank head exactly like the ones from my contacts.
i thought there was just a small issue. so i delete my twitter account and now i can not sync with my twitter account. this is very weird. i have 2 twitter accounts but my main account (the one i had been using with timescape) does not sync anymore, timescape doesn't even let me set up the account! however, it lets me set up my other twitter account fine.
anyone else got this issue?
i get an "Authentication failed... Connection failed error screen"
This just happened to me now where none if the pictures are loading, and when I click on an article nothing happens. It's beginning to annoy me.

i'm thinking it's twitter's fault but then again why would 1 account work and not the other? doesn't make sense.
same situation as arctic since this afternoon.

lol status.twitter.com just stated that they are having issues. LOL i guess i'm too paranoid with this phone.

can't see them yet either
well I still can't login with Twitter. every time I setup Twitter I still get the same error message.
I'm glad its not just me.
I've been trying for about 20 minutes last night. Even reset my password and tried again. Get into Seesmic OK so I've left it a while...
Still no luck yet though
I can't see twitter pics either.
We can exclude the phone bugs now ... pretty much the problem is on twitter side.
so it still available issue. I even formatted thy phone and even repaired it with update service. timescape will not allow me to login. I just hope Twitter didn't change anything and screwed up timescape.

i just want to confirm this anyone...is your facebook app broken?

Not sure what you mean by broken. I have it loaded and can browse around without issue although it is clearly not designed for tablets. I have also not posted anything using the app but can verify that it does install and can browse without a problem.
Won't Sync
I cannot get Facebook to sync. Anyone else have this problem? Application seems to work otherwise.

What do you mean by sync? Like the phone, add it to Accounts and Sync in the tablet settings? It is not showing for me here as it does on my phone. I do not think that will work until we get a Honeycomb version.
EDIT: Actually it does show when trying to "add account" but does nothing.
I can't use the FB widget. It's FCs on me when I drag it over to a screen.
As for FB/Google integration... there appears to be a fight between Facebook and Google. I guess Google patched up some type of exploit that FB was using to merge/link contacts. It's fine for HTC, TouchWiz, MotoBlur... but not with a direct Google experience device.
Just search Google for more info on this. I read only a paragraph or so and got bored of the politics behind it.
If I remember correctly, facebook is now blocking google from exporting numbers/pictures status's.
This was on the news somewhere

It still works on my Samsung Captivate though.
Same as others.. Can load the app and use it however trying to add an account to sych friends, as I've done on my D1 Droid, it blinks then does nothing. After doing this I've found occasionally the actual app then crashes, even with reboot, and must be re-installed to get it back.
I'm sure a native Honeycomb version will arrive in due time.. For now I'm just using TweetDeck which works great for various accounts including: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc.

Yes they did. Google wants them to use there software to sync thru.
Does this happen to anyone else?
When I search for a name, the text doesnt appear or when I click on Friends, the app just Force Closes
Same problem here. I use web facebook until new update, hope they fix it.
Same here. How could Asus/Google let this one slip? It's so obvious. Launch Facebook, Sign in. Goto Friends. Bam! FC.

This would be the developers problem to fix, not Asus or google. Unfortunately, the facebook app has been riddled with bugs since day one. I use friendcaster and it's much better in terms of features and stability - and I can view my friends
There is a new facebook in private beta - maybe they'll have the FC problem fixed when it's released to the public.

New standalone messenger from Facebook. It's the old 'Beluga' app, redone nicely. Caveat for me though. Galaxy S2 with KG5. It won't let me install it.
Anyone got an apk?

Nice, APK worked perfectly on my Inspire 4G!!
I'm a bit confused as to why they didn't integrate this with the main app. The main app has chat builtin too but it's a bit cumbersome to use. And god knows why it's incompatible with out phones.
Does it have group chat? And my problem with the app is that chat and messages are separate even though they are integrated in the site itself
thanks for the apk dude!
Many thanks why isn't this on the market?
My bad it is on the market, when i saw you guys requesting apk, i assumed it wasn't on market. Nice find, been looking for this for a while, the ability to send a message from my phone didn't think it was possible, i guess I never looked hard enough.
For those who dont have this install MarketEnabler and set it to US, then download it from the Market.
This one works for the Chat portion which is iffy on the official App. I dont get why they dont just integrate it like on the site though
This one is not available in india

It has Group Messaging. Which is the same but from a Messaging instead of Chat perspective. This is a Messaging not Chat app.
How the main Facebook app doesn't merge Messages/Chat is really annoying. This is how it used to be on Facebook.com, it must be at least a year ago but they've never bothered to update the app. I get Message notifications for people trying to Chat but as the app doesn't understand the merge, they never come through.
It's miles better than the Message section in the main app and properly supports Facebook Messages/Chat threading, whereby both appear in Messages.
I've turned off Message notifications in the main app. There's no point getting two notifications for each message.
p.s - Some messages are missing. I open a friend and some of the messages that appear on Facebook.com aren't there in the app.

Working for me, thanks a lot!
is just your facebook inbox with the added group message...
no chat or anything..
works when you have the massage notification and dont want to visit the mobile site all the time..
maybe they release this app because the message section on the regular facebook app is not working properly..

I imagine so but why not integrate it? The one in the main app is broke and this should replace it. It's pretty slick.
