[Q] Facebook App Issues

This isn't really a phone issue, I just wanted to see if anyone else had issues with the Facebook app. It stops loading the news feed after using it for a few minutes. When you click on comments it will just load. And pictures don't display all the time.
The only way to fix these issues is to clear cache/data for app and force close then it works for maybe 20 minutes.
I just want to know if anyone had similar issues. I understand there are alternatives but I love this app. Also, it didn't use to be this bad but slowly got worse after a few updates to the app.

I haven't had those kinds of issues. Usually just clearing my RAM fixes my minor issues. Have you uninstalled and reinstalled it? May be a stupid question but it never hurts. Lol

I do notice that I do not get notifications on the zvb update. Neither Facebook or SnapChat gives me notifications. Its annoying.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I am experienced the FB issues also. I will try clearing the cache next time. IDK why I didnt try that out.

The facebook app has been terrible for me the past few days, almost unusable

Gmail App Force Closing

is the Gmail app force closing for anyone since the latest update they pushed couple days ago? I get a force close when I'm in an email and click the little arrow in the top left to go back to the inbox...
EDIT: I tried force closing manually and clearing data but nothing, still force closing

Just tried to replicate it and sure enough it force closes on me to. Its not a huge issue though since I still have my back key on the phone. Lol

To speed up the process I would go to the app in the play store and email the developer about it. Hopefully they fix it soon for you guys

Version 4.5-694836

Facebook Home

If someone could post the new Facebook home apk I would appreciate it. Want to see if it can install or if we need to port.

Its not out yet buddy.
Wait till official release.
You should be able to I stall directly from Play. No need to port since GS3 is one of the device listed and its hitting the US first before it rolls out world wide... Give it a couple of hours

An apk was posted a few days ago, but facebook killed it.
I got a Facebook update to fix permissions for Home, but I haven't seen the program itself yet...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I noticed in the settings for fb all the way at the bottom there is a check box to enable fb home. Brings you to a play store page saying item not found.

Yup, same here.

click to turn it on and it will take you to the download page.. its actually kinda cool

Yeah, it takes me to the download page now, but when I click on "download", it tells me facebook doesn't require special permission and then it tells me the app I attempted to purchase cannot be found.

Its supposed to be on the market now under "Facebook home" and available to the S3 but since I'm running jelly beer 4.2.2 it says its not compatible.

Ok, it's working now. Guess they had some last-second kinks to work out.

For those that want it..
Download APK for FB Home HERE
After installation of that apk go to Play Store and update both FB and Messenger (or just open FB Home and it will prompt you)
Mine keeps saying "your device is not supported yet" though. Perhaps the compatibility is with stock TW only?

Uninstall the current Facebook you have and use the two apks provided.
I uninstalled. As soon as I installed.
Biggest POS and waste of time if you ask me. To let FB be a complete home replacement, no settings to organize post from most resent. Its just horrible and looks like a battery drainer and a network hog. So if you're really passionate about FB (I don't see why anyone in the world would be) this is for you. If not, you'll probably just uninstall like me. Just my 2¢

Agreed. I'm running Deviant Xone and to have to unlock my phone twice to get to my Nova homescreen is ridiculous. There needs to be more settings options with this.

It would be nice if it was a stand alone app. That's the only thing that gets me, its a full home replacement.... Don't get me wrong its a beautiful UI! But I RARELY use FB. Its too much for me Lol

Failed to sign in to yahoo error

So this phone has been alerting me like crazy saying my yahoo login has failed. Never had it happen on my other phones so didnt know if it was a known issue or not. Anyone have an idea why this keeps happening?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

No idea. But if you find out let me know. I have had it on this phone and my e4gt. Its a pain.

I have gotten that a few times before. I'm guessing it must be a Yahoo issue?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Of it is a yahoo issue its a limitied issue. My wife has had yahoo on her phone for years and has yet to have any problems. Her phone is rooted as well. Or maybe its a yahoo issue with samsung software. She has never had a samsung phone.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

It's a Samsung issue. I've been experiencing this on every Galaxy phone I've ever owned. On HTC phones it's never an issue. Just ignore it when it happens, it'll go away when the Samsung email server is done being retarded. Also if you click on the notification it'll ask you to enter your password again, just ignore it because you don't have to. Either don't click on the notification and clear it out or back out of the password section if you already clicked on it. Makes no sense to key it in because it's just going to fail again as the correct password was already set when it failed.

My theory is that the Samsung email app is a bit too proactive in alerting about Yahoo sign in errors where other email apps do not. I get them too.
I also have k-9 mail and have noticed that when i have it set to check email at certain time frames and yet i get emails much after their time stamps sometimes. This is perhaps because it couldn't sign in to poll/check for email at the set time (for whatever reason, either on k-9 mail's part or Yahoo's servers) and so just waited for the next polling to retrieve emails.

I have the same issue and it is driving me crazy sometimes I feel like throwing the phone as far as I can cause I get the alert a lot. The thing that I do not understand is that it may not do it for a hrs or a day or so, but there are sometimes it is constantly going off everyone is still having this issue?

I use the Yahoo Mail app and have never had that come up in almost a year.
Try their app over the stock email app and see if that fixes.

XDA app acting up

Hey all! Anyone having issues with XDA app?
Having troubles clicking on a post to reply....usually it highlights the one above. If you find the sweet spot near the bottom of the post you wanna quote/thank then it finally works.
And I'm getting tonnes of force closes.
This is happening on my t989 and my N7. So must be app related? I've tried tapatalk, but after the last update, the edit function seems broke. I make way too many spelling mistakes to tolerate that glitch. LOL
Just wondering if I'm alone with these issues??
Thanks!!

Actually ...I looked on play store. The ratings lately complain of both these issues. Come on XDA devs ....set an example for the rest of the app world. LOL
This is an app for a development site, and you can't iron out your own apps bugs.
If I could edit my posts in tapatalk....xda app would be gone.

I'm glad you posted this because I thought it might be just me. I really can't fathom why XDA hasn't updated their app in a stone's age.
