I have installed Facebook 3.1, the latest version. It makes my CPU hit 55 to 60 degrees (Celsius) which is NOT good as my cpu begins to throttle. I can verify this in franco.kernel updater and by running quadrant also the top of my phone is getting really hot.
As soon as I uninstall Facebook my temperature drops to 30 degrees and only goes up to about 45 when doing something like going on Twitter... Why is Facebook doing this when I use it the most on a daily basis..
Also I notice that my phone stays warm-ish even when I am not using the app (facebook isn't keeping the device awake however). I am so confused as to why Facebook is doing this.
P.S I have also tried a later version of facebook and it does the same thing. Please someone clarify that it isn't my phone going wacko and its the app and also its fixable? I do like to go on Facebook when i'm out the house as I keep in contact with people on it
I dont see how Facebook can cause this. I dont use Facebook myself. But maybe try using the web version instead until you find a solution.

I could try but I am so used to getting push notifications to my phone i'd end up forgetting and go the entire day without checking which is bad as I have important things that I need to keep an eye on on facebook.
I dont know if you have access to it man but undervolting or even under clocking a notch if you have the ability will work wonders for that issue

friendcaster for facebook seems to be a great substitution for the original facebook app

I tried it and didn't like it, also everytime someone tagged me in something it wouldn't show up or even notify me.
Also in reply to lesp4ul I tried what you said but my phone still gets hot. Facebook seems to be constantly requesting access to the CPU. I notice that when facebook is installed Franco Kernel updater tells me that the frequency jumps from 384MHz to 700 all the way to 12xxMHz and does this over and over again with no stops, this makes the temperature jump around all over the place and it is hogging the performance of my phone.
After uninstalling it sits at 384MHz and only moves very rarely (unless i'm touching the screen etc). Again obviously the temperature stays at around 30 degrees. My guess is that the app is just not what it used to be in terms of coding structure.

Has anyone else downloaded the new Facebook update? I did and now I have additional icons (camera and messanger) that I can't get rid of. Also it keeps running in the background even after I stop it from running. Any ideas how to stop it from running in background and how to remove extra application icons? Thanks
Just uninstall the newest update. Idk how else to get rid of it but it doesn't bother me at all.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I don't like the new update because install unnecessary thing that I don't need nor use.
My suggestion is that you use the mobile browser version or use Fast Facebook (Beta)
The only bad thing about that is that it doesn't syn your contact pictures by default but you can use another app for that

It's not too bad but if this is going to be a trend for new apps, they should just make them separately and/or offer the option before installation if the user wants the said additional features or not.

Still can't get it to work, I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with either of the phones, i tried a 3g slide also and it didn't work. Could someone maybe give me like a step by step thing for maybe security settings? I don't see any relating to the fb app, also looking at the apps settings, theres nothing that says facebook for android.
Same problem here. No solution yet.
Anyone?
try with another device. Do you have tablet or any other phone?
How about desktop can you upload it from there?

It works just fine with other devices. I thought it could be setting in facebook but it works everywhere but on my SGS3. And I think problem started after the last update of the app.
Agree, I have latest Rocket Rom v7 on my Galaxy Note and I get same error with the latest Facebook update. It's cleary a program error since I can upload pictures to Facebook with FaceUp!
I think this is really frustrating and I hope that FB will fix this.
Works on neither of my android phones. Desktop works of course, maybe ill try from a non android phone?

Try to change visibility settings when upload a photo.
Try clearing app data in your applications settings for the app.
Nope didn't work, and for visibility , I can only change the visibility for individual pictures in the mobile uploads album , unless im missing something?

I don't know the fix for this, but for alternative tool you could use the Instagram app and it's doing great job posting pictures.

Switched over to this app last night, also T-Mo, Southern CO and the app itself after latest update is trash. Constant FC and the like

same issue
i always thought it was a network error because restarting the phone usually worked but i was at the races in watkins glen this weekend with a full 4g connection on all areas i was in and it wouldnt load anything. restarted pulled battery i even tried differant albums and differant camera apps i tried everything it would not upload a photo. So after this weekend i believe its a facebook app error and really needs to be looked into
I wasn't able to screenshot the browser using 70% of the cpu but anyways you may wonder what was I doing. How do you get your browser to use roughly half of the cpu? Well first you start off by closing 5 of the 7 tabs you have open. Now what's so special about the two tabs that I have open? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I refuse to believe that browsing PhoneArena and a paused YouTube video will cause this. Anyways, just wanted to share and show others they aren't the only ones out there who has this problem...if they have this problem...

I'm pretty sure there's a memory leak somewhere either in either the OS or the UI since I've been able to do the same with the Facebook app and Andoku II.

I use twitter and faceache and find android pro widgets ( APW ) an absolute gem and don't even need the official apps along side.
Another is whizz widgets which give a very nice stack feature but not sure how it will run on willy, again no need for official apps as it pulls data from web.

Thanks. Gonna try em all. Yeah, compatibility on willy is also important. Also the data usage coz i dont have 3g or edge. I only have wifi at home so have to adjust to that.
With Tweetdeck, i dont miss a single tweet even if i log after 8 hours.
Widgets are also great in battery drain and so with willy, that another thing to keep in mind.

I was with wildfire for a long time and battery etc was never really affected by apw for me as you can set manual update refresh so it never pulls data until you decide same goes with whizz. Bonus is you get many other widgets too which in return can replace other apps etc so battery usage balances itself out in effect.
I wouldn't recommend to anybody a battery hogging app nor any app I hadn't used and tested myself. Apw is an app I will always use as its a favourite for sure.

I hope it's something that doesn't try and take over your phone's basic functionality. If it's just an App that doesn't do anything until you run it then that's fine with me.

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.

I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Why is everybody attacking this? It's an optional app, no more intrusive than any other app on the market. Download it if you want to give it ago, uninstall it if you don't like it.
