Can't Log out on Facebook for Android app?

Good day. Sorry for my ignorance since this is my first android phone. But can anyone assist me on how to log out of facebook for android? When i log in, there is no option to log out anymore which means that when i click on the facebook icon, it would direct me to facebook under my log in account. So if someone uses the phone, he would not be able to use it since its in my account already. Mine is 2.3.3 version. I could only remove my log-in when i go to settings and remove my account in facebook.

This xperia roms are working together with facebook account. You probably would have problems after using another account especially with phonebook. So better tell them to use your browser like opera to check their fb once.thats what i do

Perhaps you can prevent access to the fb app by means of some locking app? That way you wouldn't have to worry about others using your profile.

I just tried to log out, it is ok.
just tab on the fb logo, it will open up the fb with 9 icons with notification menu, the press the Menu (right) button, and you can log out.
I am also on 2.3.3

You must be kidding. Reboot doesn't logout from FB ot Twitter.
What does log out is to clear ALL the data in App prefs in settings.

Clear data
You can go to settings/apps/Facebook and choose "clear data." This will remove your log-in information from the Facebook app.

facebook for android app | push notifications "fixed"

Hi all,
Sorry if this is old news - but its new to me!
Whilst doing some random googling i stumbled accross another forum where a chap had posted a "fix" he had found regarding the lack of push facebook notifications with the official face book app.
Up untill now it has been the one feature for me that has really let android and my phone down.
I am not sure of the rules on posting link to other forums so I will not do that, though I will run throught the basics below.
This worked for me as well as many others on the other forum. Notifications are instant and I have the polling set to never in the FB app.
You need either a blackberry phone, or to download a blackberry phone simulator to make this work.
1) log out of the FB app on your phone
2)from home screen goto settings, applications, manage applications, facebook and clear data and cache
3)log into your facebook account on a blackberry phone and enable notifications on it. Then log out
4) log into facebook on your PC, goto Account settings (click on down arrow next to "home")
5) click on "notifications on the left hand side"
6) scroll down towards bottom of page and click on "other applications" - click on this, you should now have "facebook for blackberry smart phones" - make sure there is a toick next to this
7) log back into the FB app on your galaxy
8) go into setup, uncheck notifications, then recheck notifications
9) set refresh interval to never
10) that should be it
This honestly works 100% for me and other on the other forum. The notifications are instant and it even shows different icon in your notification bar for different types of post (ie wall post or message)
I am running CM7.1 and FB 1.7.2
This seems to work on a wide range of handsets/android platforms.
I dont know how this works. One suggestion is the permission/software the blackberry enables on the FB server is generic for mobile devices and that it is somehow "mising" from the FB app,
All i know is it works for me,
I take no credit or responsibility for this,
I hope this helps somepeople out as it was driving me nuts!
again my thanks to the original poster on the other forum
regards,
anthony

off topic but, i never installed the app because it requires practically every permission in existence, really don't trust it, knowing facebook's privacy issues

fair enough,
but the one thing that has always ruined its usability is the lack (or poor at best) notifications.
untill now anyway (for me at least)
regards

This worked for me for a while. However, I've stopped getting notifications again

forget the original facebook app, use friendcaster

Did it stop working after an update for FB?
Try this login to your FB account and go to "Account Settings". On the left hand side click "Notifications". Scroll down and you should see one near the bottom that says, "Other Applications". Click that and in there you should see "Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones" If there is a check mark in the box, then un-check and hit save. Then re-check the box and hit save again. You're done and the notifications will start working again. If there is no check mark then add it and click save. Viola FB notifications should be working again.

Can't add contacts

Hello. For some reason I can't add contacts anymore. When I press "add contact " is comes up with a blank screen with "save" at the bottom but no form to add the contact. It also does it if I try to add a number from the dialer as a contact. Thanks for your help.

Did you either freeze or uninstall AT&T address book? You need this to add contacts.

yes, that was it. however when I try to restore it, it doesnt seem to be working it just says "restoring app + data" and the status circle just goes around and around. been doing this like 10 mins now.
Any suggestions?

All I had to do to get TiBu working was change the app processing mode to auto, indirect. Then I just disabled the USB debugging warning (it says recent versions of su don't need USB debugging enabled).

contacts disappeared

I got a text from my mom but it only showed her number. I checked a few of my other contacts and found that my dad and one of my brothers was also missing. What the hell happened and is there some way to recover these and any others that have gone missing. Those contacts are not new, they've been saved to my Google account since the G1.

Try re-syncing your google account: go to settings -> Users & Accounts -> Click on your google account -> Click on account sync -> toggle contacts back and forth

Seems like you are not the only one having these issues. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/12/07/contacts-sync-breaking-devices-running-android-oreo/
POTENTIAL FIX: https://productforums.google.com/fo...pHswBNJUQ;context-place=forum/phone-by-google
Go to system settings>apps. Show all then click three dots to show system apps
Then find contacts storage and tap that. Then storage and clear app data.
Then everything will update

remove the URL in the contacts profile if you tied that contact to a google+ account. That's how I was able to get them all synced.

I just logged in to say THAAAAANKS. That was the easiest fix in Android history lol.

Exactly the same, logged in to say thank you

So, I tried this, and the issue isn't resolved. I have to go in to settings and restore contacts more or less every day. Any idea why that might be happening?

When I was logged into Gmail earlier today there was a red banner up at the very top saying there was an issue with contacts. Maybe it's related to that?

This is the steps to transfer contacts from Gmail to cellphone:
Step 1. Unlock your Android phone and enter the "Settings" on the device.
Step 2. Choose "Accounts & Sync" under the "Settings" section and elect the "Add account" option.
Step 3. Tap "Google" from the list and click the "Next" button to go to the next interface.
Step 4. Hit the "Sign in" button if you already have a Google account and then enter your username and password. If not, you need to create a Google account at first.
Step 5. After entering your Google account, you can see there are many file types under the "Sync" setting. Just mark the "Contacts"

First, welcome to the forums. Second, this is a dead thread that the issue was already resolved for the OP.

Hey, at least his post was more informative than many of the noobs we see. I'll give him an A for effort, and a C+ for realizing what he did :laugh:

this happened to me when i removed an account from my phone, i just had to reinstate that account on my phone export the contacts from that google account and import them into the other, and then remove that first account again. and set the new account for automatic saving.

Question How do I change this pop up setting?

I want the messages to stop appearing on the screen when I receive them. I try to change from here, but nothing opens to choose another option. I also reset in the developer menu but nothing changes. After many years on Samsung, it seems to me that everything is messed up here. Thank you

I assume you mean with the google messages app. Not many options in the app but if you long press the icon and choose app info -> notifications -> additional settings -> bubbles there is an option for "nothing can bubble". Try that.
I don't use the google app or have the phone on a sim yet, so I can't verify. Please report back if it works.

Thanks for the reply. It is correct what you say and that is how it should be. I know I have to walk here BUT I CAN'T. The phone (software) doesn't let me choose anything else when I press "importance"! Do not open other options! Not to show anything in the balloon was already activated. I've had the phone for 6 days and as much as I like how it looks (the only reason I bought it) the software is a joke. I am totally disappointed. I am seriously thinking of returning it. Apart from the cameras, I really consider it successful. But the software is bad.
I tried to change the setting to only one person, but it still doesn't work.
Sorry for bad english ! Google translate.

I installed and tried another messaging application from the PlayStore and I was able to set other notifications! The default application (from google) does not allow you to set other priorities.
Disappointing!
