Facebook pictures - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the new facebook app but for some reason i dont see any pictures, just gray squares, this happens on both the app and the stock browser and dolphin browser.
I have cleared Data and Cache, and it helped a little bit, i now can see the persons default pic but as for photos they have posted i still get gray squares.
does any one else have this issue? or know how to fix it?

No one else has this problem?

Everything is working fine on my phone, and I haven't seen any other reports of it. I suppose you could try re-installing the FB app, but if it's happening in the browser too, the issue probably lies elsewhere.
Do a full re-install of your ROM? It's silly for an issue like this, but I imagine the problem will be difficult to pinpoint.

Sometimes it's actually just the connection. Sometimes my 3G won't load the pics, and switching to WiFi immediately fixes it. Just my connection probably.

yea thats what i am thinking aswell... my signal has been really really slow latley

[Q] [BUG] SMS icon on Homescreen Bug

Once in a while the SMS icon on my launcher dock will stop launching the SMS app and will start launching whatever app I was using before that. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm attaching a youtube video of it (pardon the half assness of it)
+1 This has happened to me also. Not just the messaging app though. Happened with Google Music, Wordfeud, any app really. I have to back out of all the apps (close them all?) to get it to stop. It's only happened twice.
This has been happening to me for the past couple of days now. For me, closing all my background apps doesn't help. The only way to get things working again is to reboot the phone.
Yes has happened to me once. Rebooted to fix it.
Also have had an issue when composing a SMS message and then wanting to delete it before sending. I delete the text I typed and when I go back in the app the text is still there. Anyone having a problem with that?
happened here with various apps too.

Looks like most people that have had this happen have Verizon/LTE versions. Anyone had this happen with a GSM version? Just curious if it may only be a bug with Verizon's side.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I've had this problem as well. Only thing that fixes it is a reboot.

FC22 and FC24 "Contacts" app not responding well

I've been using the FC24 and also I've tried the FC22 ICS builds. Overall they're pretty good besides the aforementioned notification issues, some general lagginess around the UI and VPN not connecting (for me). GPS has been great.
The one thing that has been a show stopper for me is the Contacts App being very unresponsive. If you click on it, it'll go to the first page and nothing will load. I'm also having problems with my Groups appearing. If I can't get these to load, then I can't contact people very quickly.
Are others seeing this? Any tips?
I have tried TWlauncher and the regular Launcher (no difference). I've tried FC22 and FC24 (currently on FC24) and no difference. I've synced, then unsynced my LinkedIN and Facebook contacts (that seem to minorly help).
I'm probably going back to the EL29 and just flash the FC24 modem, although I like the ICS features if they all worked.
(sorry for the new thread, but the FC thread is too long for people to use anymore [plus its largely off topic now] and searching got me no where)
So for me on the goodness 3.1 with the AOSP contact app I get FC's all the time for acore. I am just going to put up with it till the final release since I have this rom all fixed up to my liking. But with your issue and what I'm seeing it rally seems like something deeper then the contact app, maybe the contact storage is the issue.
That's disappointing. It seems to be able to load an individual contact just fine if you search or if you place a contact on your home screen through the widgets menu, but the groups are a no go for me. Even if you access the groups through an app like Handcent (which uses a hybrid of the normal groups and handcent's own display).
I had the same problem on early builds.

Was a solution ever found to this, I'm having a similar problem on an FD24 rom that I just flashed and have had it on every other rom I've tried for the last two weeks as well, basically my contacts aren't responding at all starting about 15 minutes after I flash the rom, freezes as soon as I open the contacts app and contact widgets are non-responsive as well...it's happening with using romtoolbox to restore apps and just doing a complete fresh install of all apps from the market
very frustrating and I'm kind like reddragon in that I have everything else set up exactly as I want it now, except this issue
My wife's contacts did the same on FD24 and continued when I upgraded to FD26 without wiping data. To fix it I just backed up everything with Titanium and used sfhub's One Click odin FD26 that wipes data. Now, contacts works fine and I restored her apps no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes. It's a Festivus miracle! FD26 (and FD24) fixed this.
If it happens again, you can clear the contacts storage in the Applications menu. Then let everything resync.
FD26 is something special. I have yet to find a bug (that affects me).

[Q] Stock browser issues after 4.2.1 Update

After installing OTA 4.2.1 update, andriod browser closes frequently. There is no dump option. Occurs intermittantly on multipe sites, not associated with specific actions. Will occasionally reoccur when page reloads on app restart. Almost like the home button is pushed.
Also noticing skewed text when scrolling. Maybe related to images on the page? It will be a rectangle of streched text occupying less than the whole column width. I'll post an image, if possible.
Anyone else experience this soft crash issue issue? Could it be related to the static nav buttons (which I do not like)?
Tried freeing up memory, to no avail. Thinking of trying a factory reset next; if I can figure out how to get the 5G of Fast Burst photos off the dang thing...
Thanks in advance!

It seems that is enough disable the JavaScript in the browser options
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It's not only the stock browser.
The backtrace suggests the problem may be in
Code:
/system/lib/libchromium_net.so (net::HttpCache::Transaction::DoCacheReadData()+151
Since it is a segfault in WebViewCore it will appear in every app that uses it, including the stock browser and dolphin.
The bug appears on multiple devices, and also on JB 4.1:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40784
resolved..more or less
Thanks for the good information. Did not find anything about this in the mainstream media. Wonder how widespread, and if not for most, then what the difference is: build, app install, Google account settings, or something...
Unchecking "Enable JavaScript" under Browser Settings\Advanced seems to have solved this issue. Facebook mobile pages do not load *tear* Gmail also fails w/o java. That's a deal-breaker for me, as I use browser for some email tasks.
Using Chrome as second browser works, but having history, bookmarks in two places and two running apps/caches is not ideal. I would switch to Chrome, but I'd miss some of the Browser features, like save for offline reading feature.
Also no longer noticing the text rendering issue and the browsing seems snappier.

No Facebook Notifications running Jedi X6 Rom

Is anyone else having this issue? For some reason, I am not getting my usual Facebook notifications. I made sure that notifications is checked in the Facebook settings of the app. I also unistalled and reinstalled the Facebook app. I tried to log on to Facebook via my browser. I wipe and cleared the date/cache. Not sure what else I can do. If anyone else is experiencing this and/or has a fix, please let me know.
I have the same problem, but with Twitter
Same problem here.
Yeah I said it!
I know it sounds silly, but I am the kind of person that just needs my Facebook notifications. I ended up changing out Jedi for another Rom and will give Jedi another flash later on.
Facebook notifications notoriously suck on all ROMs...it's not the rom, it's Facebook. If you Google this, you will see that notifications are hit and miss at best.

This is absolutely, 100% true. It is a known problem with Facebook Android in general. Try Friendcaster instead. Notifications are at least somewhat more reliable with this app.
I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't work and others times it does work, FB in general though needs to make the android version a lot better. I am still running Jedi everything else seems to work ok.

What annoys me with that rom is the red box that goes around certain notifications. Soooooo annoying, so I went to clean
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I always have a problem in getting notifications from FB. I also heard that FB is notorious on the notification with Android. I believe it's not just a Rom or a Note. I really hope FB release a new native app ASAP with much better notification.
I am having the same issue, it seems to fix its self and break again.
The big issue I am having is data on a phone call, I can't access any data when a call is active. I have reflashed the modem, done a full restore to stock and reinstalled the latest update for Jedi. I'm not sure what else to do other than try another phone.
Update, I tried everything to fix my data problem, I returned my phone to stock and triangle away'd it and took it back to the store where they gave me a new phone that ended up with the same data issue. I ended up asking them to change the sim card because I couldn't believe two phones had the same problem, and this seems to have fixed it. Yep a bad brand new sim card, its funny how the smallest thing can drive you crazy.
There's a new facebook update today. Maybe it'll fix your guy's issues? I've left Facebook so I can't really give my impressions to what you guys are getting.

[Q] YouTube app issue

I pre-load lots of videos on wifi while charging (or try to), but the youtube app signs me out automatically after I don't use it after whatever length of time, and I lose my pre-loads.. Never had this issue with phones in the past, anything I can do to stop it from logging me out?
Why use the app? Its always the first thing I uninstall when I get a new phone, install Flash and enjoy full Youtube on a browser.
Can you preload videos using the browser? Doubt it, thats one of the reasons I use it. I quite like it is another minus this signing out issue.
Yea I'm facing this problem too. I think it's due to multiple Google accounts? Coz I'm using 2 Google accounts and facing the problem.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I thought that was the problem too, so I deleted one of the gmail accounts and the problems still there. I had 2 accounts with my last phone and never had this problem so don't really understand.
Yeah this is annoying me too, haven't been able to find a fix. I also have two Google accounts, and deleting one doesn't change anything.
In fact, all new YouTube apps annoy me, the one for ios is the worst piece of crud they've ever come up with. "We estimate that you would rather watch a screen composed of 6 moving pixels rather than waiting a little bit to buffer because of our stupid server priority system, and you cannot choose what you prefer". Thanks Google and apple, together you become the ultimate troll.

I am also facing similar issue and a few more. Play Store isn't updating or downloading apps. Contacts are not getting synced. Please check if you have these issues too.
Would tube mate not work well for your requirements?
I too am having the issue. Gets very annoying. I noticed it when I got the note 2. I have tried all that I can think of, to no avail.
I've read a bunch of different explanations for it, from Google+ integration causing the issue to gapps being the cause.
I don't know what the issue is but I've been having it since the latest YouTube update, so I'd imagine it's something to do with the app itself.

I have the occasional gapps force close, does anyone else?
Sorry for being lazy, but can gapps be flashed separately on any samsung based rom?

Although it doesnt help me any, its good to know I'm not alone with this problem... All I've figured out to stay signed in is to not close the app when I close all the others by swiping them. If you don't close it, it should leave you signed in.
I'm not having any issues with play store, everything else seems perfectly fine.
