Facebook Update? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I've never seen a Facebook Update like this before and it says I need to unblock unknown sources so I'm pretty sure it's not legit. But how would this happen? I downloaded Facebook right off of Google Play

The same thing happened to me, I installed it. Hope i did the right choice.
In the info it says version 2.3

Just got the update notification this morning.

OK it's safe, read here: http://liliputing.com/2013/03/faceb...-silent-updates-bypassing-the-play-store.html
And the app works fine with the new features.

Welp...goodbye Facebook app.
Don't know what they're up to, but I don't like it.

bypass play store. um. nah. not going to do that for an already slimy company. and auto update doesn't sound too good. I know it can't install without permission but still. nah. bubye fb.

good thing i dont use the app anymore. i use flipboard for my feed and imo.im app for messaging. no need for the app here

All in app updates need unknown sources checked since they don't come from the plsystore
I like to break stuff!

I'm just making a wild guess but maybe Facebook 2.3 is a Jelly Bean thing?
That would explain why the Play Store isn't being updated.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/google-updating-android-market-app-on-phones-adding-movies-and/
New market update confirmed and coming soon according to Google. I think it looks pretty awesome. People are already yelling about the WP7 comparisons, but I think its pretty slick.
I think it looks quite smart. Bring it on
yup its very pretty, so us rooted users wont be able to rent movies?
Here's the new update.. ....courtesy of loxdev.
Installed it on CM7without problems...

working just fine CM7 nightly #133. Loving the new interface, and the new icon. I like that the colors kinda mimic what the market website looks like.
Video app is also in the new market.

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.
Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

New google music out

New google music .apk out if you'd like to try it early. And I know you do
Uninstall old GM prior to install.
Also, if you have trouble syncing with your online music try clearing app data, or just uninstall and reinstall and that seems to clear up that issue.
Looks sick. Thanks man.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got the new version installed, it's mostly a nice graphic update. One thing I did notice is that the "make available offline" option is no longer included, which kind of sucks.
Also, I was hoping that there would be some work done on the Music widget, which is frankly pretty lame. Unfortunately the widget looks exactly the same.

"make available offline" is still there- you might have to clear data or uninstall/reinstall
Perfect. Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. I used the beta sparingly but they have Linux support now I hope we get to keep this for free

I recently bought a 32 GB micro SD chip. Makes this a little unneeded. Checked it out any way. Didn't really notice a difference other than the UI looking a little different.

Version? Source?
What version is this? And where did you get it? I'm currently running 3.0.1.399. Is this different than the 4.0.1 ICS build that was leaked recently? I a curious why the file is named "Music2" (as opposed to 3/4). I'm extremely weary of installing something like this on my device.

Don't worry, it's legit. Straight from Android police, and yes it's the ics v4 that was released.

Is anybody else having a problem with album art? I'm using 500x500 or better images but the now playing screen looks like a 50x50 thumbnail stretched. Love the new setup though, landscape mode looks SO much better.

Wrappio???

I received a notification in the status bar to upgrade to the newest market. I clicked on it and was taken to a site I had never heard of before - wrappio.com. After looking at the site and reading some stuff online it looks like borderline spyware / spam to me. Needless to say I am not too happy about it. I have not installed any suspect .apk files and only downloaded apps from the market. I am running Juggs 4.1 along with the ICS theme / Darkside theme.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from?
Thanks, in advance.
I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

Same thing with me but I was able to use Addon Detectors app from the market and that was able to detect the app, it was bloat freezer for me that had the air push ads... Uninstalled it, problem solved.

Play store smart updates

I have version 3.8.17 of play store, but the smart updates feature which downloads only updated portions of apks doesn't seem to work. Every time an app is updated the entire apk is downloaded, just like in the past. Do i have to change any settings anywhere?
Sent from my SGH-T999
I believe the developer of the app you are updating has to support this feature as well. They will have to deploy the update using this method and with it being brand new im sure many have not done this yet.

In Google I/O i heard them saying developers don't have to do anything special for smart updates..hmmm who knows!
Sent from my SGH-T999
Try to update and stay on the update screen, sometimes you will see that it starts updating before finishing the whole download, for example I just update Google maps and after 40% download it update, maybe that's how it works I'm not sure

Facebook looking awfully weird

Hey everyone. My first post and I'm excited to have changed from CM7 to CM10! Thanks to the devs btw for making this possible. Anywho, I've searched for this already on here an Google to no avail. I've installed the Facebook app on my IC2 and for some reason, it looks like entirely different than the original. Doesn't look the same. I've provided a snapshot of it so hope it helps. And it's not just the layout that's changed but even my cover photo isn't visible. Anyone know what's going on?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Im having that issue too, I just went back to friendcaster
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
mine did that when i came to PA, after a restart or two it gave me the option to update my facebook app and it went back to normal
Yeah unfortunately hasn't given me the option to update... yet. Hopefully it does in the near future...
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
I thought this was the normal look for mobile? I haven't seen any other versions.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I think it has to do with what the Facebook servers are giving you on cm10. I think its because jelly bean devices are all higher resolution than ours. It does it on the mobile website too, but if you change the user agent to iPhone on your browser it will look normal.
Phantom, parts of it look the same. But with the current version of Facebook for Android, I guess you could say that my layout for my wall looks entirely different. If you check it out on the Play store, mines doesn't look like that. Only the top portion seems to be okay. I don't even have a cover photo! But it's more of an annoyance than anything.

This has happened to me as well on CM9. I think the Facebook app thinks you are on a higher resolution device.

Yeah, I'm actually glad people know what I mean. I'm starting to agree with that. Probably explains why when I go to the Facebook site on the browser it sends me to the Facebook full site instead of the mobile. Hope they fix it soon!

So just thought I'd like to give a last update for this before I leave it floating in cyberspace... I upgraded to Global 4.1.2 JB and my Facebook layout came back. So basically everything is back to normal... I think. Maybe it was just a CM9 thing but cheers!

Sooooo.. one LAST update, I promise. Switched back to CM9 Psycho because CM10 right now was just too buggy for my phone. Everything with Psycho has been awesome, including camera. Anyways, that also brought me back to the original Facebook that I had when I started this post and it basically reverted but I rather have a stable phone than a distorted Facebook look. But I guess the problem just comes with CM9 altogether. Anyways, cheers! :silly:
i just use friendcaster its better all around anyways. may not be pretty but its hella functional. im sticking with that till we get a native fb app like we were promised.
I'm trying to use friend caster but the ads are killing me. I tried using lucky patcher to remove them but had no luck
