I can't figure this out. When I attempt to go to lite.facebook.com Opera just times out using 3G, but using WiFi it works fine. This site has always worked fine before. I don't know whats changed. Any ideas?
Stock ATT ROM
ps. it does the same thing with PIE
They started to block it on mobiles I think. Try m.facebook.com or touch.facebook.com
Those two options continue to work, nothing has chsnged with those. It just seems to be the lite version. Can anyone else with a Touch Pro 2 (At&t) try lite.facebook.com and see if it works for them via 3G?
Very interesting. I tried it on my AT&T branded Rhodium with the ROM specs in my signature, but it won't load. I even tried toggling the AT&T hidden proxy, but to no avail. The most interesting thing is that it loads immediately when I enable Opera Turbo on Opera Mobile 10 Beta Update 2 and refresh, so it seems that bugsykoosh is correct about it being blocked for one reason or another.

same result here, but i mainly use touch.facebook.com, didn't know lite.facebook.com existed till reading this thread.
I got lite.facebook.com to work on my Sprint TP2 using wifi and 3g with no problems. I used the stock version of Opera that came with the phone.
Hmmm, I wonder if AT&T is somehow blocking this. As stated above Opera mini works just fine as well. Must have something to do with the server side rendering.
As noted by a previous poster running Sprint, they can access lite.facebook.com just fine. Whatever changed, changed in the last few days.
Maybe I'll hit up an At&T store today and see if their phones are doing the same thing.
...by the way, I just now checked out my wifes iPhone and she cannot access lite.facebook.com via Safari either. Starting to look like an AT&T thing.
Wow, lite.facebook is much better!! Didn't know about it until reading this thread. I tried touch.facebook, and it isn't up to date (info can be several days old), forget about the lousy WM Facebook app. Very cool. I've been using the full facebook.com on my TP2, and it's annoying (with the bottom toolbar).
I'm on Verizon using The EnergyROM Leo 23518 Jan 25.
Yeah, I prefer it over touch.facebook as well, that's why I was using it. But of course I can't now for some unknown reason. Since you're using Verizon I would guess that's why you can access it.
Any T-mobile folks out there want to try to access this site lite.facebook.com? Let's try a few more AT&T users also just to be sure.

T-mobile (US)- comes up just fine on my TP2 in IE, I get the login page with the balloons right away.
you guys got it! http://www.mobilitydigest.com/att-is-blocking-facebook-lite/
AT&T is definitely blocking Facebook Lite. I disabled/enabled the hidden proxy and it toggled my ability to get to the site. Turning on Wifi also permits me to get to the site. Now the big question...WTF? Why are they doing it?
I can't seem to get it either, and this is a very recent change.
I tried lite.facebook.com, and received a gateway error last evening. I am on AT&T, and seemed to have a good connection when I tried (was able to bring up another site). Just tried it NOW, and it comes right up...
Dang, sucks to be ya'll.
This is why I joined T-Mobile.
Works perfectly fine, and I just heard about it also thanks to this thread
Why would they block it, it's unreasonable.
It looks like it could be back up again today for everyone...it could have been something as simple as a DNS error on one of AT&T's proxy servers.

You're right! It seems to be working again, for now. Maybe the posts here in this thread, and over at Mobility Digest (Thanks David K) caught somebody's attention.
Hope it lasts.
By the way, when I talked with a customer service person over at my local AT&T store yesterday they told me they no nothing about a block but had no explanation for why ALL of their phones in the store couldn't access lite.facebook.com.
Similar but different
So... I'm having a similar, yet different problem accessing facebook on my Fuze with Opera Mobile 10. www.facebook.com works just fine, touch.facebook.com works fine, even lite.facebook.com works fine, but m.facebook.com no longer works on my end (FYI: Oklahoma City)!!! I liked m.facebook.com better than any of them, but now it's the only facebook.com address I CANNOT access :S Is anyone else getting this result? It used to be that trying to navigate to www.facebook.com would redirect me to m.facebook.com... but now that doesn't even happen. What's even weirder, I think, was that m.facebook.com worked fine this morning. Now I'm getting a "Connection Refused: m.facebook.com:80" error!!!
UPDATE: I just tried m.facebook.com with IE on my phone... and it, kinda, works. It comes in all jumbled with mismatching text and it took forever for it to load. It shouldn't take that long to launch a MOBILE version of this site :/
I keep having to enter my login and password every time I access lite.facebook.com despite selecting to "remember me". Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Hi guys quick question i have swappables deezer an sky sports but when trying to select for wifes HOX it only shows me horoscopes any ideas?

If it doesn't work at all then you might be on an old Panther plan that doesn't has swappables. My plan is really old and doesn't have swappables but it doesn't seem to stop the rest of Orange reminding me to choose the ones I want. I've gotten text messages about it and it appears in the online account management as well. Can't remember if its ever appeared on my bill.

Hi,

It's a ICS issue. The above guide fools the webpage to think your running gingerbread. However it didn't work for me.
You have to spoof your user agent to a phone that we know works. Dolphin HD Browser has the option to spoof your agent. I had the same problem on my EVO 3D on gingerbread. Very stupid.
Seemed to work through normal browser

It didn't work for me either. Orange swappables would be great if they worked properly but they don't.
When I first went to select my swappables they were all available, I selected Sky Sports and tried it out and it worked fine. I went back to use it a 2nd time and it tells me my phone isn't compatible. I gave Orange a call and was told that they'd deselect my swappables and to select them again and they'd work but like the OP, I went to select them and the Horoscope thing was the only 1 available. Again I phoned Orange up and they some how made them all available to me so tried to galaxy nexus trick for Sky Sports but had no luck. In the end I got Deezer and The Times.
I just updated Netflix from the market and now the videos won't stream. Keeps saying connection error. I've rebooted, wiped cache and even tried to reinstall the app, but when entering my login info, it says please check your date and time settings. I rolled back to a later version of Netflix I had backed up and when loading the screen will go black.
My Internet connection is good and my account is good because I can stream and watch Netflix on my Note 10.1. I can login to the netflix website as well. I was going to call them but I'm pretty sure they would just tell me to reboot, re install and that would be it.
Anyways, I'm wondering if anybody else is having issues with Netflix on their Note 3. Wondering if it has anything to do with root or something. I'm running MyRom1.1 as well

What version of Netflix did you roll back to? I tried rolling back on mine and I kept getting a blank screen. Even used Titanium backup fixer after restoring and says check Internet connectivity.
Version 2.1.2 build 787 I have the same rom you have and was having the same problem I'm waiting to see if any permanent solution for over at the myrom section nothing yet I tried setting it to Canada time zone but still same thing but get that version it's a temporary fix for now.

I have heard of this issue on the SGS4, but the solution was simple, uninstall the App, restart phone then reinstall the App. Can't say for positive if it will work, but it was recommended for S4 and worked.

this looks fixed. please confirm
How the Netflix app running, smooth?
Netflix runs great on mine. Depending on your connection. If I use my phone for connection and in Sprint spark territory I receive HD content. Same for home network.
Yes Netflix is gorgeous on the 10.5. Give it about 30 seconds or so for the HD movie to buffer and it looks incredible.
The Netflix and youtube apps have been optimized by Samsung for this device. They look spectacular. It's third party video apps that suffer with extreme Pixelation and ghosting in dark scenes. Such as Crackle, Cable Provider Apps and other streaming services.
Mine doesn't even let me activate it, I mean, I'm just entering the app for the first time, when I enter my Email and password is telling me that the device can't be activated, I called Netflix and the only thing they told me was to uninstall it and reinstall it and when I told them that this one came pre-installed that I can't uninstall it just turn it off, he didn't even know what to tell me.
They are telling me to contact Samsung, so go figure...

Please call Netflix and/or Samsung so they know that this isn't an isolated problem and worth together to fix it.
I called Samsung and basically told me to reset to factory, I asked them if they guarantee me that doing that will fix my issue and they couldn't, so I told them that I wasn't in the mood of just wasting hours that took me to set this today just to see if that fixes it and if at least they have a reliable backup solution where I could simply reset and restore I'd do it, but not with the joke they call Kies, and that I have had all their Galaxies s, both Gears and now the Tab S, so I do like them but must admit that their backup solution is a joke and is a shame that they seem to not care about do something at least like LG has.
I called back Netflix and this time they were asking and escalating the call and in waiting for a call back.
Just for curiosity and trying to cover all the bases, are you on the Continental US? I live in Puerto Rico and I'm just wondering if this could be some Region issue.
Just to let you know that after trying all day at the office where I'm the System Manager so I have full online access as usual with all my previous and actual android devices, and after talking to Samsung and Netflix guys I just cane home and guess what, I could activate Netflix without a hiccup, so what can be different with this Netflix app on this Tablet that is the first device that I couldn't activate the Netflix app but everything else was working perfectly, even more, I used the OEM browser and Chrome and went to Netflix and login from there and saw everything perfectly, so the proviene was always the Netflix App.
Let me wait for Netflix call as they haven't call yet and see what they think after I explain this to them.
The Netflix app has worked flawlessly for me from day 1.
Netflix worked for me right from the get go and it was one of the first things I tried when I got my 8.4".
The picture looks great, I'm not even sure what the highest resolution one can stream using Netflix.
I was able to get it working as well. I went into the application manager and uninstalled the update. Then, let it reupdate from the Google Play store and it worked fine.

They never called me yesterday, but after trying at home and worked I'm sure they just re-adjusted something on their end, that's the only explanation why suddenly it worked after not working for a full day, I'm assuming that they just changed something and let me try it again by myself instead of call me, that can explain why yours is working now also. I did what you are mentioning here about 5 times and nothing worked before, so if now is working then maybe something was changed after my couple of calls.

Netflix streams 4k video now, breaking bad, and ghostbusters I know for sure are 4k. I don't know if it will convert or look better though on the Samsung tab S? Let me know if you notice any difference?
I picked up the 8.4 S yesterday and I think it's clear that this is the best device for Netflix I have ever used. I checked out both the 8.4 and the 10.5 at the dealer and felt that the 8.4 was superior due to the pixel density giving it a sharper look.
To some extent I didn't feel the 10.5 was any better than the Note 10.1 2014 and I have always felt that video was a bit blurry on the larger screens. The display density on the 8.4 is just perfect and Netflix and Youtube are impressive.
I got the 10.5. 32Gb. Love it. No problem seeing up Netflix. When I started the the stock Netflix app it requested an update. After that it run smoothly.

I noticed some of you said that Netflix was already installed. For some reason mine wasn't.
I wonder why?
As I thought there was an exclusive Netflix app for the tab s. If I download Netflix from play store is it the same app?
Also for those that have the Netflix app pre installed is it not deletable then?
Mine came with Netflix pre installed. I can't delete it, only uninstall the updates.
