Facebook problems? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anybody else having major problems with the facebook app? I know some people left reviews saying they have been messing up updates etc. My mom has no problems with her phone so I'm just curious if it could be related to the xplay.

Only on CM7.2...
Every time I reboot all my from Facebook synced contactpictures are deleted. But on strock everything works fine. I think it's not the xplays fault, I think the problems are belonging to the software
Can you give more details about your problems?
Sry for my English.

Most of the time I'm not on wifi nothing loads. I'd have full 3g service and it says connection lost. It may be the apps problems, but again, my mom has no problems at all. Stock 2.3.4, and np about the english.

But your able to show pages in your browser?
My Facebookapp is very slow on mobile internet, too, and sometimes i get the same error but after clicking on try again it works.
Maybe you can try an app like Fast for Facebook (search on Google Play, i can't post a link :/ )...

[Q] Facebook app crashing in CM7

Rooted Incredible running CMW 3.0.0.8 and CM7 rom and I am having a problem with the facebook app.
This is after a factory reset & clearing of the caches and installed this app from the market...didn't restore it.
Opening up facebook works fine & navigation is good. I've tested everything else, but when i try to go to messages, the app crashes. I get the message "Sorry! The application Facebook (process com.facebook.katana) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." & gives me the option to Force Close or Report.
Any advice would be helpful.
Might be just an issue with the app as mine has started doing something similar after I got the latest version.

I used Titanium to roll back to 1.5.1, latest 1.5.3.
I'm using CM7 Final. It appears to be an issue with the new update.
Same issue and I believe the new FB update is causing it, I dont recall the error before.
The question I have now is where can I download 1.5.1 and use that until FB fixes the issue? Thanks for all the info. Makes me feel better its not something I borked. Man do I love cm7

Thanks! Appreciate the help. Hope this works
Synisterwolf...you're a frustration saver! Worked like a charm.
Well the feedback in the market tells me that everybody is having FC problems with it since the new update, not just us dinc/CM7 users.

The best part? Facebook hasn't even addressed the issue publicly. The SECOND best part is Facebook hired Erick Tseng, a lead Android exec, to work on their mobile front. Fist full of phail.

The 1.53 is a headache :X I am running CM7 and whenever I want to view a profile through contact it crashes, I open it, it crashes, I sync calenders, it crashes.
Thanks wolf ...it works like charm
Using Skyraider 3.5. The Facebook v1.5.3 works perfectly.
I was having issues with the latest update of the Facebook app. The worst part was that it seemed to bring down a bunch of other services with it, like Google Maps, Skyfire, Beautiful Widgets, and sometimes even LuancherPro.
I uninstalled the app and now FB through a Skyfire bookmark. No issues.

[Q] Facebook app not working properly @ Gio

Hi,,
This problem is related to my gf's Gio, and she's driving me crazy to solve this
Well, a few days ago I flashed a CM ROM on her Gio, everything ok, Gio is great and so on, but her facebook app stopped updating the feed and she can't comment or send messages to anyone, she can only put "Likes" on the first feed page.
I thought it could be a problem related to the rom, flashed the adrenaline ROM and the problem remains, I unistaled, cleared data and unistaled, nothing happens.
Can anyone give me an idea?
Thx in advance

That person was pretty much trying to help you. A little respect is always welcome..
Anyway..
"unistal try and continue to update his facebook"
Uninstall the facebook application. Reinstall, try if it works.
If that was the case, my apologies to him. No disrispect was intended.
Anyway, on my first post I mentioned that I already did that: "I unistaled, cleared data and unistaled, nothing happens."
use an alternative facebook app, the normal one is slow, buggy.

+1 - Facebook apps sucks big time. Look at the comments on market, most of them are negative. I'm using FriendCaster, it's pretty fast...
Well, I tried the older version of facebook app and it is working.
If you wanna try it: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kyf6f8rm18uuss6/ZqPktHHXmO/Facebook_1.7.2.apk
It's lighter than the newer version, and it is working properly
None of them works for me in cyanogen Rom.
But all of them work fine in stock.

Damn, the problem returned even on the older facebook app. Suddenly its impossible to coment and doesnt update...

Is there any facebook app with chat? (without the official) I know that there's a facebook chat app, but she would have to use 2 apps intead of one.

Terrible sync time

Hey guys I got my galaxy s iii a few days ago. So far I've just rooted. I'm running tmobile firmware released earlier, not the most current. (Oct 17) and I love the phone but some stuff is seriously confusing me. So apps like Gmail, and Facebook take an incredible amount of time to sync. I'm on wifi ping is 40ms, and my mbits down and up and both around 17 there's no way syncing should take this long. Even on 3g it is faster on my one s. Gmail can take literally 60 seconds to sync with maybe one new email. Facebook could take this long to load with nothing new. Web pages load up quickly. I cannot figure out why this would be if anyone has any idea please let me know. Or if a different rom should fix it that would be awesome I just know it's sad to see this phone failing in such an area.

Did u flash anything at all yet? Or just got the phone and kept it the same.... when I sync the little circle with arrows doesn't move.... but still syncs... it's weird... and that's on stock with root...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No I'd have mentioned it. Ha just stock rooted. With custom recovery. And hmm that's interesting but yeah nah this is definitely not syncing either. I have auto sync off but I've had it off for a few phones and never experienced delay like this.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I had a similar issue as well.
Loaded webpages quickly, but things like updating Facebook and Gmail didn't want to sync.
But I am CM10.
You can try going into CWM and clearing cache, dalvik, and fixing permissions.
If that doesn't remedy the problem, try flashing a new modem.

Thanks I'll give that a shot.

[Q] Stock Weather Widget stopped working

This is irritating me beyond belief.
I'm on stock .55 and the widget was working yesterday even. I have not done anything since then to my phone. It's constantly giving me Location not found. I tried adding a new widget, I get the same thing.
I tried restoring with TB nothing. I tried clearing data and nothing. I even tried doing a CWM from one week ago and still nothing. It's like it's completely broken.
My Wifi is working fine, mobile data fine, GPS fine...under Location Services everything is turned on. I don't get it.
Same here. I am sick and tired of these problems with stock Sony apps. First Timescape, now this. They really should start pulling their sh*t together!

same too~ got problem earlier with sudden bootloop, then repaired with SUS, but now this widget..but my other apps that use location also stop working...
sorry for the english
i am not sur it's the same problem for you
Same here
Accuweather Widget
Sony Accuweather widget has stopped working for me as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the calendar new year and all. "Location not found" is the error I get. Then when I put a know location (like a state) I get "network error". Hope they fix it. Other weather apps take up too much memory for me.
Same here! I found this topic by typing into google "xperia weather widget location not found" and hoping that the problem is not just me. What a lucky bastard I am! I also thought it's accuwarther servers' fault, but why google widget shows weather properly then (as google doesn't support weather forecast facility anymore)?

I'm sorry but at this point it isn't certain that the problem stands at the accuweather servers. The built-in weather service in HTC Sense (Desire X) prevails and works flawlessly today (hip hip hooray) and it's still accuweather. What concerns the Timescape issue, Sony should be able to address it far more promptly. Neither is Facebook some unpopular app/service, nor is Sony some cheap garage reseller company. Currently they just don't respond properly to users' expectations and that's that. Simply not good enough!
So it doesn't matter how sick my opinion makes you feel, not even a tiny little bit. Sony's current approach of "not my fault, not my problem" is stupid, irresponsible and won't bring them any good. Nor the ridiculously delayed JB update will.

As Sony is using accuweather for their widget, there must be some issues between them. About facebook, they recently changed their privacy and security rules and you can't update timescape untill new version of firmware so this version of timescape having issues with updating from facebook (you have a solution for this in mods and apps section if you are using timescape). For jb, i really don't care when it will be updated, as i don't buy phones for updates and i'm satisfied with .45 firmware and couple of mods that i'm using.

[Q] Package File is Invalid

Has anyone else had a problem with updating or downloading apps? I've tried everything. I've called both Google Play Support and AT&T. I've restarted my router and modem, factory reset my phone, re-flashed the UCAMA4 ROM and updated to the latest UCAMC3 and it still happens. Most notably with Google apps like Chrome, Maps, Play Music, YouTube, Google Plus and Hangouts.
Been having the same issue all day.

I'm not a programmer, net tech background, but you guys have the latest issues posting on the web. I've been having the same issues all day, spoke with Google and ran their pre-programmed solutions. I'm just trying to do a reset & rebuild, all other apps seemed to install all right. Originally had issues with updating Chrome & Samsung Link, but in the past hr these 2 have been updated successfully. Only remaining issue is trying to install Twitter, still getting the same error.
Google issues all day myself. ..
And being linked to my home and work computers has made the problem even worse as I'm 4 states away from home. .
But I guess it's okay. .
At least I can post. ..g

I have 5 phones on my account and 4 (including the phone I personally use) of them, that I know of, are getting this message when trying to update apps or install apps. This includes certain Google apps, the AT&T apps and Facebook Messenger. I'm guessing this is going to turn into a widespread issue. I honestly think anyone and everyone who are having should call the Google Play Support number to report this error. Maybe then they fast track a fix once the programmers are notified of the error.

Tried that. It works temporarily.
From my perspective, I think this error is linked to Android Device Manager. I haven't received the update yet, but started receiving this message on Monday. That is about the same time Android Device Manager started rolling out.
Things I tried...
Just trying to help figure out what is up so...
I have cleared cache on the google services, rolled back the settings update (gms.apk - removed the device manager), updated to the latest app store (4.3.10 - was on older version). I tried updating after each, no luck.
I can still download other apps, just not the google beta.
And if it matters, I am running Slim/ Devil with TBO apps...
EDIT: Working now...didn't do anything.
Wish I had seen this thread before I wiped my phone 18 times today. O well. Only Facebook is giving me this issue now.

The least they could do is allow manual update capabilities for the play services apk...
Try un installing the latest update from within your application drawer. .then allow Google services to update again. .
This issue is gone for me after doing so...g

Try deleting the app cache first. Then, delete the Google account and add it back. That should fix it for you.
Others have reported that this method doesn't fix their problems, but it did for me.
I have deleted the Dalvik Cache in the recovery mode as well, FYI.
