Problems with the Facebook app? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Anyone else having issues with the Facebook app on their Ion? About a week ago mine started not loading right. Sometimes its all black, sometimes it wont show any pics, untill I scroll, then they will flash in and out. Then as I scroll down I will see the "loading symbol" circling and it will load up correctly. I have uninstalled all updates and reinstalled twice with no change. Not sure what caused this...

For future reference please refer all questions to the Q&A Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1657
We already have a thread going on about this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788198&highlight=facebook
so far we all emailed google play and fb about this issue which seems to just be affecting Xperia Ion users -__-
I'm experiencing the same thing, but it seems to work after leaving the app open for a few minutes...fb on android has always been glitchy which is almost why I was hesitant to buy another android phone get buy a iphone 4s instead. Still at times I wish I gotten an apple for its "simplicity" but I'm content with this phone...even more when ICS released and hopefully rooted/bootloader for jellybean

Sorry about posting in the wrong place. And thanks.

Facebook app is so horrible. Fails to load most times and widget never updates properly. Don't understand howacompany like them can't fix these issues.

Hear this mate! I used Titanium Backup "non-dontation" to uninstall all traces of the Facebook app and all its little add ones, you do need root for this. Hope it helps

Had the same issue on Gingerbread until I flashed ICS, now it works like a charm.

Anybody else experiencing this bug?

Randomly when I go to send a text message, the letters I type don't show up. I have to close the messaging app fully and relaunch it and everything is fine.
I was rooted, with franco kernel and a bunch of mods/themes/apps installed. Right now I restored to stock ICS. Re-rooted, flashed aokp milestone 4 and haven't downloaded any apps and I just experienced the issue again.
Also, I am using stock keyboard.
Any ideas?

I believe this is a general issue with ICS, I have the same exact problem sometimes (1/~30 times) no matter what kernel/rom combo I'm using.
Definitely have never seen this before and i text like mad. But i also use handcent from day 1 so it might be the stock text app.
This happened to me once in a market app but hasn't occurred in the messaging app

It had the same thing happen to me quite often back on my HTC Legend on CM7 with Handcent, but never so far on my new Gnex. I liked the stock messaging app and even gave up on Handcent.

Have definitely seen this more than a few times. I put it down to Swiftkey X compatibly issues though...

Thats the thing, I had swype installed and thought it was that. Like I said just did a reset and fresh install of everything. Cant be any third party apps.
Not me personally, but a friend who's on complete stock ICS has complained of this happening every so often. I've never seen it on mine.

So it's still happening with the Stock Keyboard? Interesting...Well, all we can wait for is a fix from the big G. I would have no idea where to start looking for problems with this sort of thing!
Yep have had this problem every morning for about the past week. I need to restart the phone to fix it.
I am rooted on stock 4.0.2 and normally use Swype however it happens on other keyboards too

Weird Vibrations

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

You will have to root first... Unless someone with more experience chimes in with a different idea

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

Unwanted long pressing when I'm tapping?

Seemingly out of nowhere my girlfriends S3 running a nightly of CM10.1 is acting like you're long pressing when you tap in Chrome or Maps for example. Yet texting is fine, she can type normally, dial normally. It wasn't doing this when I first got her up and running. I'm confused here. Wondering if anyone has run into this or knows what's going on. Otherwise I'll have to flash another nightly and cross my fingers.

Did you consider inquiring in the cm10.x Q&A thread? It's right here in the troubleshooting forum, dude
I thought maybe it would be better to have a broader set of eyes to look at the problem.

How to fix lag in 4.2.2 system wide.

I have stock gnex on takju, since 4.2.2 I have suffered from lag all over the place, the lag could be fixed by restarting the phone but it would eventually come back.
I have only 300MB of data plan and I noticed that Facebook and facebook messenger where using about 50MB a month on the background without any user interaction and just a couple of days ago I started seeing Facebook app as the second most battery using app just behind screen on, this made me uninstall Facebook and and I instantly saw performance go up all over the place, it was night and day comparison, my phone feels like new and the buttery effect is back.
Now I installed Facebook back just to test and it indeed is the reason for my lag but this time I used greenifyed it and it fixed the lag too.
So there you go, hope this helps

Does matter. I disabled background data (as opposed to removing the app entirely) on Facebook and have noticed substantial speed improvement instantly. The only place you can do it, that I'm aware of, is from the mobile data screen when checking the apps usage.

There are two places to disable notification from Facebook on mobile.
The first would be to go into the settings by clicking on the 3 point button just right of the multitasking navigation key, then disabling notifications.
Second, by clicking on the top left corner button inside the Facebook app, then clicking on privacy settings --> notifications---> mobile push--> uncheck all
Sometimes I think Facebook deliberately tries to complicate the notification settings so as to keep pushing themselves on our faces!

Thanks for the tip, this actually helped a bit.
I've had luck with disabling auto-rotation for some reason. Caused SystemUI to lag after time. Hopefully it'll be patched in 4.3.

touch pads glitching help!!

So the other day I was playing minecraft on my xperia play and the touch pads were acting weird. My screen would randomly move without me touching it. when I did try to use them that randomness was fighting what I wanted it to do so I got no where. To me it seems like its registering touches on its own. has any one else come by this problem? also how do I fix it?
Yes it has happend to me, What rom u on?, Im on a GB Rom, Im running The Super Nexus Project,
Check my Sig for more info!
I just bought it and was testing everything out. I haven't rooted yet.
Oh ok, might be a MCPE BUG as it only happens in mcpe 0.7.1

Maybe your hardware is damaged. It you can return it you should or exchange it. Seems like its an actual touchpad problem not software though I havent seen anyone mention this before. Bad luck

Got similar few months ago. Screen starts randomly behave as touched and touchpads gone. When turned off and removed battery it starts working properly until next time.
I tried stock firmware same happen. Even I've send phone to Sony service twice but no resolve.
I have not much problems with random screen touches now but before using touchpads need to turn off phone and remove battery.
i did this also and still nothing. it just spazzes out on every game that involves the touch pads.
