[Q] Can't post on Facebook

Anyone having an issue with Facebook and trying to make a post or update their status? I've tried numerous times and it keeps saying "Can't update status at this time". Very weird :S Obviously, the mobile site works perfectly, but it lacks spell check unfortunately.

works fine here.
Also, I used to have that problem w/ browser.. but I get spellcheck again. Using SwiftKey X

No problems here.. try going into settings>apps>downloads and wipe the cache/data for facebook. If that doesn't work try a fresh install.

No go after fresh install. Can still make posts, can't update status. Blah :/

The most obvious question here when receiving this message are you verifying that you have a data connection? Does the issue persist on both wifi and 3g?
Do you mean that you can make posts on other peoples statuses but not post your own? If so are you still receiving the same error message?
What happens when you try to share content from an app (e.g browser)?
What happens when you try and make a post on g+?

I tried both on WiFi and 3G. I can't make status updates but I can comment on other statuses. I can also make G+ posts.

I take it no one knows what I can do? I've heard the GNex is having a few issues with Facebook because FB isn't using the latest APK. Anyone else have any suggestions?

This is how I got my update.

Go to apps
Scroll down to google framework
Clear data
Now go to location and services.
Check all 3 GPS and google services.
Accept google therms.
Now go to about and check for update.

This also worked perfectly on my takju. Thanks to OP.

I can confirm this. Followed the instructions and the JB 4.1.1 update showed up.

This worked for me too, but it crashed while updating in recovery. My phone is stock, and now when I try the trick again, I can't get the update...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Honestly I think the main thing is clearing the data and checking. People seem to be throwing in other steps that I didn't do, but who knows maybe its a different situation for others.
Plus we're going to start seeing a ton of threads with variations of this "trick".
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

well worked for my galaxy nexus 4.0.4, its now updating to 4.1 thx to op

This worked for me. I have been checking every five minutes for the last couple days, clearing Framework, restarting, using different networks, and as soon as a tried this I received the update. Another thing to note, I checked for the update right before I used this "trick" to make sure it wasn't just a coincidence and I was still receiving the dreaded "Phone up to date" or whatever. So for this to be a coincidence would be a pretty low probability.
Thanks OP.
Even if this didn't do anything, I got the update finally.

Worked beautifully! I now have Android 4.1.1.
One quick correction: Google Framework is Google Services Framework.
Also, until 13 July 11:28 P.M. Google will only permit you to install using WiFi.

I tried it worked then restored root with voodoo. I am forwarding this info to others. A lot do not know about this.
my other phone is Nokia maemo n900

I did your trick, it working for me. But when it installing I get this error ; E : signature verification failed
I only rooted en unlocked the bootloader..
Thanks

Take a look at my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39194953&postcount=18 for more info.

It frustrated me seeing it up there half the day so I un installed Facebook and reinstalled it. I then canceled, and deleted the download. That fixed it for me. Same thing fixed my infinity tablet as well.

Yes FB has added an option to auto download new version without asking your permission first.
Glad I dont use FB enough to worry about it.

Tried everything from the moon to the sun.
Error 493 or 491, package is not valid, etc.
I've tried everything and then some. Removed googlw account, reboot, add google account. Cleared data and cache on playstore. Uninstalled updates. Cleared data on services framework. Rebooted, rebooted, and rebooted some more.
NOTHING is working. What in the hell is going on?????
P.s. even tried cache and dalvik clear tgrough recovery. Even flashed a new rom, factory reset, all that. When I say I tried everything from the m9on and sun, I mean it.

You haven't modified your DPI settings or are using a ROM which requires some sort of modded Play store are you? Or changed build.prop settings?

Nope. Same problem on Virgin Rom, Golden Eye Rom (where I noticed the problem), then Darth stalker ROM.
All have the same issue. Even factory resetted on all ROMs. Same issue.
Here's the kicker. I'll try something new that I haven't tried before, then 1 app that was giving me problems will actually download. Then to definitely make sure if it's been fixed, try downloading something like Rom toolbox, same error message.
This happened ever since Virgin Rom, and really started taking effect once I flashed Goldeneye ROM.
Not saying those ROMs are the root cause, but just giving you guys a more clear picture of when this started happening.
If anything, it happened ever since I re rooted my phone.

Remove your Google account and re add it. Also recommend clearing data for Google play services, play store, and Google services framework as mentioned above. Do all this at once then reboot. Should fix it. At least it did for me.

Just realized that romtoolbox is the only app that gives me problems now.
I'm good to go as far as I can tell.

[Q] Can't get rid of "package file is invalid" error in PlayStore

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?

Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I can download certain apps no problem but can't update any. I tried almost everything you did and nothing worked. I even took it to att and was told it's an issue with Google. You can always download a vpn app from the play store and you'll be able to download with no errors. I use hideninja Vpn.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.

its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient
