Facebook build 140579 download not working - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

My tmous s3 keeps trying to download Facebook (build 140579). Play store doesn't even show an update available for Facebook and it's just draining my battery. What is this and how do I stop it?

Same here
I've got the same problem. I force close it and it just starts right back up? WTH?

Firstly, this belongs in the Q&A section. Secondly, try to uninstall the app then reinstall through the play store.

Sorry, if a mod could move it that would be great. I did reinstall it, still tries to download. I can force stop it by force stopping downloads, but as soon as anything else starts downloading it just restarts the attempted download of Facebook too.

That's odd. Try breaking the market link via rom toolbox.
Go into app manager and long press on Facebook to get the option.

It's an application in your phone.

I'm seeing this on my droid RAZR m as well. Its Verizon, I'm wondering if this is carrier specific. Still trying to to figure out how to make it go away. I don't have FB at all.

Is just an internal fb update.... Facebook 2.3
I saw it earlier and got a lil worry so i looked it up and found this forum!!! so i did what i read... Open download manager and then go to other downloads you should see it here just send it to trash and it fixed it! but then i my sister showed me the same thing and we just waited, finally it downloaded all of it (around 15 MB) and gave her a facebook update screen! saying it was a new version (facebook 2.3) that enables you to mark as spam posts and other stuff!!! NOW i feel like a [email protected] for reading about it and erasing it... hope it comes back on the market as a regular update and that some of you read this and just be patient! :fingers-crossed: GOOD LUCK AND IF SOMEBODY HAS A APK VERSION OF IT ALREADY PLS REPOST! THANX

I did the same! to sadly find out it was an update... now i dont see a way of getting it back

This happened to me too and just deleted the download in progress. I then updated the FB app in the play store. I don't know why FB is trying to update the app without going through the play store. I almost did a hard reset too.

I had the same problem . I yesterday externally installed Swype kepboard and this problem seems to have arised since then. Not sure however if i can directly blame this on the Swype. Anyways, one sure thing is that this download is unlikely to be a genuine facebook update & its more likely to be a spyware of some kind.
This is what i did & it seems to have stopped popping up since then. Hold the Download till u get an "App Info" option. Then click disable instead of Force stop. It has'nt restarted for me since then .

From your Browser, open the menu and select Download.
BTW, I also couldn't find a link to Download on my Spectrum but I do have it on my Transformer Prime, so maybe something that LG left out.

The scary thing here is it really is a genuine facebook update; see the links I have included below. They are going around the Play store for this and future updates. Which is scary enough on its own because a smart hacker could mimic this in the near future to inject malware. Also, in my case the update failed and now I can't use the version from the play store or this one.
I have complained to Google play about this because they are violation the developer terms; I also provided "feedback" to Facebook! I would recommend others complain to both also to let them know how their customers feel.

Oh hell yes . I've been using your inverted apps for a while now, started on the OG Epic 4g, now with the ET4g. Congrats on your new device!
I assume you'd have to uninstall the app first and then install the inverted version?
And how do I uninstall gmail? Would I just delete the .apk in root explorer?

Deleting the apk and putting mine in it's place with root explorer should work. I always use adb to push it there. It will have to be installed this way for now, at least until I get an updated flash-able zip for this phone.

The newest version of Google+ has a different setup for the main stream, I am in the works of flipping that over then it should be good to go. I am hoping to get it done in the next day or two.
I assume the rom has to be deodexed to flash any app that downloads in the form of a zip? Such as the Google search bar? Or can it be install with root explorer?

Facebook app looks great. When you first install it, everything is great, and the news feed is inverted. But once you exit out of the news feed, and reenter it....the background goes white again.
Thanks for all the work.

I have never tried to install them on an odexed ROM so I am not sure if it will work or not.
Yeah the feed is pulled straight from m.facebook.com so unless facebook wants to invert there mobile page that is the way it has to be.

Looks like Google+ and Docs are going to take a min. Don't know if it is a root/ROM/ or phone issue but neither docs nor Google+ will sync anything once they are installed. Just sits on connecting...
I have tried decompiling and then recompiling without changing anything and I still get this issue. If anyone knows a fix to this I would love to know what it is.

incompatible with my SGS2 on tmobile too
but your download link apk is installed and working fine! Stupid NBC
Thanks!
Thanks for the dropbox link worked like a charm on my SGS3, tested a video working great as stated can't test live until olympics start but don't see why live wouldn't work.
But the reviews aren't good. Seems as tho it doesn't 'just' work.
Thanks all! it works great
Guess that means people are reviewing without trying it or maybe they have an incompatible phone I can confirm the AT&T Galaxy S3 works.

On the app's page it states that "additional support for phones and tablets will be added". So I wouldn't be surprised if we see a fully compatable and optimized app before the Olympics.
EDIT: reinstalled from review horizon and now for some weird reason video works, oh well, as long as I can watch the Olympics

Strange but even fir gs2 it says incompatible
Can someone please post the version they updated to today? (7/25) The last one tries to force an update which is still 'not compatible'.

Play store just compatible the app with Nexus 7
uninstall the old one if you sideloaded, then re-download in Play store if you are on Nexus 7
and I dont know how to take the apk out,,,,,sorry
UPDATE: On my S2 (SGH-i777) running CM9 nightly (July 23) build (though I don't think it matters) I was able to get the Google Play Store to install the updated .apk:
Note: I had the previous version of Live Extra installed from the old .apk
1. Go into Google Play store and search for NBC Live Extra. It should take you to the app page that displays "Open" or "Uninstall".
2. Select "Uninstall". Message displays saying it wasn't installed from the Google Play Store, and asks if you want to uninstall anyway. Confirm that you want to uninstall.
3. After uninstall, the app page will show, displaying the blue Install button. Select Install, and it should d/l and install the updated (today) version. It's about 12.75 MB I think.
I'll try to post the updated apk later, if this site will let me post files that large.
One thing I didn't consider until now is that...maybe the app actually is compatible with the S2 i777 now, and I never knew until i uninstalled the old apk, in which case I really didn't figure out anything groundbreaking. I don't think that's the case though b/c Google Play wasn't offering to update my old Live Extra app when it was installed.

I couldn't find it on the Play Store when I searched using the Play app. I Googled "Flash Player 11 apk" (from my phone) and saw the link to it on the web Play store. Hit the link, and chose to open it with the Play Store app rather than the Web and it came up fine. Was able to install it from there, but just searching for it on the phone in the Play store yielded no results. Weird.
BTW, still on Rooted Stock 4.0
In case anyone wants the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer&hl=en
Although as others have stated, it is no longer supported by Adobe and active development has ceased in hopes HTML5 takes off.
Sort of on this subject. Samsung Apps store (the webpage) just removed all references to T999 and anything but i9300. There was a free app that is listed for the T999, and you can even find it in google cache, but no US devices are supported by the store.

Are you on 4.0 still or are you running a 4.1 rom? 4.0 should still let you install, but since they have stopped support for anything beyond 4.0, it will give you the incompatible device error. Either way, if you're looking for the .apk and are on 4.1 I've attached it to this post.

I believe I was able to install in my S3 but I know when I just flashed an ICS rom on my Tab 10.1 that I didn't have flash anymore. Tried to find it in the Play store searching for "flash" adobe flash" and even adobe in general returned nothing. Googled adobe flash from my browser, clicked on adobe and it gave me the option for web or play store app. I chose play store app and was able to install it from there.

Thanks for the tip how ever I was unable to get it to work

NEW! Google Play Store 3.9.16

just released today, get it here! link below...
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.

Still not exiting back to last place (got to go through the list from the top) but it is ok. Now if we could sort the way we want (download date, alphabetical, paid, free, etc.), I think I'll be set.

does anyone know how i can install this on my phone or am i sol for now?

Mine allowed me to directly update it. But Titanium Backup is going to be the easiest way to remove the old version.

It may be installed in /data/app on your phone. Or it is visually named something else. When I went searching for vending.apk all I saw was phonesky.apk. I identified it by the PlayStore icon next to it. I'm not sure, but I think devs can name it anything they want with no ill effects on functionality.

My devices auto updated to new Google play store and the new updates while may appear simple are a huge improvement to the store. Kudos to Google for these fixes.
Thanks for listing the new features.

Fully agreed. These improvements should've been around from the start, but we finally have them and that's all that matters.

phone keeps getting ads!

I'll be sitting at the home screen and ads will pop up and open my chrome browser to the ads page. It will also tell me I have a virus. What is the deal? Please help!
Sorry for posting this in the wrong spot please move!
Might be a rogue app! Uninstall any recent apps, see if it stops
This is an example! I have not downloaded any new apps!

Maybe a newly updated app gone rogue. Rogue app, absolutely no doubt...
100% rogue app. Any music downloader, non playstore movie streaming, or "unknown source" installed apps?

I've had the exact same thing which I seem to have fixed.
Firstly turn off sync on chrome.
On your laptop and any other devices you use chrome on delete your history, cache and cookies.
Delete the same on your phone. Turn sync back on.
You should now be issue free, apparently there is malware that can target cookies so the above should work.
If you only have the issue on WiFi and not 3/4G then you should consider deleting your network settings on your phone found in settings. You may have an infected dns.
Hope this helps.
