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

I'm running AOKP build 40. Aerovans 10.5 kernel. Confirmed not working on the FB app and BARELY working on mobile web.

Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

I'm running Aeroevan's cm9 with the v10 kernal. It happens with sense roms as well... I have got seesmic to work properly over 3g but i had to turn on wifi to get it to connect to Facebook initially.

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.

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 it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.
Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?
I don't think any words are necessary.

Because they know when you have over 500 million people that no matter how bad your app is they will still come back to the site.
I have stopped using the app. It drives me crazy. I use friendcaster and website. The app is so slugish and acts stupid around 99% of the time.

Faster facebook. Goggle it on the play store
Lol I don't like Facebook enough to get a dedicated app for it. From what I have seen though, their mobile site is really poorly designed like they are trying to force you to use one their app. I assume Friendcaster is much better than the official app.
Don't forget that the latest update also added FB camera and FB messenger apps. At least mine did. Now I have 3 FB apps. WEAK.

Yeah they changes the name on the market. I believe it is called "fast for android"
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Yeah, I've deleted the Fb app too--don't like the increasing bloat and I'm really annoyed by the their spammed camera and messaging apps. Tried Fast for Facebook, and as much as I'd like to support their xda-friendly devs, it doesn't seem to update all that well or display photos and such.
OTOH, the mobile web app, it seems to do what I need without bloating up my phone. For a light Fb users, it does the job.
Yep... Agreed. I absolutely hate the facebook app.

That was the last straw for me, uninstalled it. They've removed the extra launcher icons now, but the app is still terrible.
A lot of times it will turn on my GPS when I enter the app, and never let go of it.
It's terrible cause it's Facebook. I hope my boss doesn't read this

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.

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

The facebook app comes pre-installed on the Sony Xperia Ion. It also has some kind of system wide integration. I happen to use facebook and figured I'd give it all a try. Timescape is part of that integration with a fancy widget and takes up half a homescreen. My battery life hasn't been that great (10 hours in a 8 hour work day where I barely use my phone at work) and most distressing the phone was getting hot. Too hot to handle comfortably. Especially while charging. After many attempts through setting management and battery managers (which I've always felt we're unnecessary if the settings were customized for battery life) I found the problem. The facebook app itself. Not sure what version but it was the latest for this phone at this time. Not only does my phone now run cool as a cucumber, I expect much better battery life. Oh, and my phone's CPU no longer runs pegged most of the time like it was. So there it is. A tip for anybody finding their new Ion to be running warm/hot and draining battery at a quick rate. Remove the facebook account and use a browser instead. The current facebook integration is problematic on these phones.

Can you please give more detail about what you did? I don't usually get such a low battery time, but today that I was in a LTE area for most of the time the battery went down a lot faster than usual. Did you just remove Timescape from home screen and set it not to sync automatically, or you also had to remove your facebook account from Facebook inside Xperia?
I removed the account. The app itself is un-installable. I don't log into it either. I use the browser and set up notifications through sms.

That helps greatly. Facebook was wiggin out for me through app and browsers, wtf??? This better be corrected with an update soon, not cool.

Mainly the "Facebook" integration has to do with Timescape, notification & sharing. I myself won't be using the app w account integration until it's fixed.
Perhaps we could fix this ourselves if they would let us. Cant wait until we root this damn thing, very frustrating. eb

I have a similar issue, but in my case the app use a lot of data when I'm on 3G, even when is idle... Not sure what is, but this is happening to me from 2 updates before, not sure if it's still, I'll try today at night. CM 10.1 RC1 and sotck kernel from CM 10.1
I think it's the Facebook app itself. The Play Store ratings speak for itself at a very low 3.6.
My issue is that my messages or news feed never loads, and I rarely get notifications when on home Wi-Fi or on strong signal outside.
Facebook app is useless for anything but the notifications. Anything else just load the mobile site.
Guess I got my answer. Thanks everyone.

Same here, I'm not too happy with the new version of this app... I rise a ticket for Facebook, but they haven't contact me, so I guess is probably a genneral issue
