Anyone notice that the FB mobile site has gone from looking pretty much like the App to looking like the old text based mobile site. :/
Either the mobile site is not recognising the Nexus as a HD smartphone, or else its an effort to push all android mobile site users onto the new app.
Changed about 2 weeks ago around the time the 1.9 update for the app came out.
Yeah i noticed it, now i cant post photos on a status update trhoug chrome... this is lame i dont want to use the facebook app...
Just logged into the mobile site and it seems like it's back to normal now.

omg please yes.
Yep rerouting to the browser was my biggest complaint. I don't use FB chat, and Places is gay.
This update reminds me of facebook for iphone. I feel at home again.

But now instead of your shack you live in a... Smart Mansion. Lmao, Yeah i feel like we are making progress with android now that are consumer base is almost if not bigger than iOS
I downloaded it, and it still doesn't compare to the iPhone's Facebook app, but I guess its a step in the right direction

FB Places and Groups are junks. they take spaces on the screen for absolutely no use because I dont even care to use those feautes. Wish i can disable them and make them disappear for good.
can you guys tell me what size your facebook apk is on your phone? Mine is ringing in at a whopping 1,29GB with 1.08MB (before the update) as the Application and 1.29GB listed as data. Clearing data does nothing for the size. Just seems way out of whack IMO.
When i use the facebook app or this app is in the background, my cpu stay at his max frequency ALL THE TIME AND DRAINING MY BATTERY. A 6262728763 billions dollar company cant make a stable app ? Thats.****ing.stupid.and.ridiculous.

1) Doesn't happen to me. Not a universal issue.
2) Chill out.
oh, and no one is forcing you to use the Facebook app.
Here's some cheese to go with that whine:
Fast for Facebook: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com
Friendcaster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree
1. Change your kernel governor to Interactive or Conservative.
2. Use Friendcaster. Its way better anyway.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
or you can just use the facebook mobile site thru the browser.
I used friend caster way before and I didn't like it but I been hearing a lot good things about it so I ma try it out. It looks neat will see how notifications behave. Facebook app sucks on Android or iPhone idk why can't they make it right

This is a known bug. It happens on my phone every time.
- Install facebook app
- login
- exit the app
- run the app again
If you install eg. "OSMonitor" you'll see the facebook process is consuming a lot of CPU in the background.
Given their track record, they'll probably fix it in a few years.
I have another issue with Facebook. For some reason every time I try to share something it comes in some foreign language. Coincidentally started after installing flip board. I have uninstalled flipboard and also reinstalled Facebook but no resolution. Please help.

Turn off Facebook sync? works for me. My battery life is beyond awesome.
m.facebook.com bro
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
the only function I'm really interested in (contacts sync) doesn't even work with the official facebook app.
Facebook sucks up battery and network for me, in crazy ways.
If I login to facebook and leave it running, I get zero notifications, loading anything (even over 4G or wifi) takes forever, and it somehow managed to suck up 2 gigs of data in a 72 hour period (as well as using 38% of my battery?!?). Anyone have any idea why/how THAT happened?
It's an easy fix though: uninstall app, use m.facebook.com

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Is anyone else annoyed that you can't send a contact from the stock SMS app? I love the standard SMS but yet have to have a third party SMS app installed just for this purpose. From the stock SMS you can attach a few things but not a contact. And even from the phone app you can send but through email...not SMS.
Nothing major...just felt like griping about something I guess.
On a side note android keeps getting better and better. I don't see myself even going back to a non nexus phone!

I totally agree it's silly this is not factory android option. I can tell this is a general complaint and you weren't really looking for an app, but check this out:
share contracts via sms
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shareContacts.NS.com
it's not really an "app" it just adds the menu option to share contracts thru messaging app. you still use stock messaging. I have used this since froyo days. it's super lightweight, you'll hardly notice it's even there...

Yup, I've been shocked time and time again that it hasn't already been added since I first started using Android with Froyo.
Which is weird if you've been using dumbphones for the last 15 years I think most of them could do this.

I have a Galaxy s3 for tmobile with jellybean and I dont know why but every time I try to go to facebook mobile ( using any browser ) it takes a lot of time for it to load, but if i go to google or any other pages it loads amazingly quick. So i dont know the problem but i read problems with data is because my mobile network is set to lte/gsm/wcdma ( auto mode) and obviously i know tmobile dont have lte but my question is should i change the mobile network to wcdma only or should i keept it how it is ? thank you for your time
The mobile page for Facebook is slow...is there a reason your not using the app? The wcdma is default...if you change it from what I hear it will revert back to wcdma again.

I have noticed the Facebook page loads really slow on the browser. Started happening not too long ago. Have started using the app instead. I hated using the app before but the latest update seems to be working really well

The new fb app was completely revamped and written with native components instead of a shell to render html5 like in prior version. By going native, it is way faster now. Give the app a try.
If one site is slow while other sites are quicker using the same browser, I don't know why people blame it on the mobile network instead of the slow site. Just a thought.
