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?
A few days ago my Facebook app was loading pages super slowly, taking a minute or more to even load them. This isn't unusual, as the Facebook app sucks. I normally just switch to the mobile site and carry on. The thing is, the mobile site is loading super slowly too, and not just that, if I use Opera and force load the full site, even THAT is super slow. This is the only website that I'm having any problems with at all and it's happening regardless of my current connectivity state (wifi, 3g and 4G - its not discriminating.) I've searched the web and not seeing anyone else have this issue and it's continued on a trip I just took from KY to Chicago so I am absolutely stumped. Everything else, including all other websites are working perfectly. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
I have the same issues. I can't even post a status from the app. More than likely it has to do with the roll out of the timeline profile. Its slowing don't their servers

Still having the same issue. Not happening to my girlfriend on the mobile or my work partner on sprint. Any suggestions?
Was having thisenissues until last night. Everything is now working at a normal speed although notifications are still not working for me (since 182 update)
force stop the app then restart the app this normally works
It's just the app. I'm on my home Wi-Fi and it hasn't gotten any faster. Never expect good things from Facebook. Period.

My VZW Nexus has been randomly rebooting on its own. On top of the data drops I've been getting, I find myself wanting to use the phone for skeet shooting. I had the problem intermittently with my R2D2 D2 on VZW but I thought it might be several months of abuse that caused this. 3 weeks after I got my Nexus, it started doing it, too. I hadn't dropped it or used it as a coaster, hockey puck or projectile weapon like my Droids. I couldn't see the connection. My Droid and Xoom never did this. The damnable Nexus and R2D2 D2 seemed to be unable to go 48 hours without rebooting at some inconvenient time. I thought I would be safer with the Nexus because its supposed to be a pure Android device (the D2 is a Motorola crapstravaganza.) Still rebooting...
It had to be something I was putting on it so I looked at what the newer phones had installed and pared it down to what the D1 was running. It still rebooted. So then I looked at what was missing between the tablet and the D1. It was Handcent. VZW doesn't support SMS on the Xoom, you have to use the internet and not whatever the SMS protocol is on VZW. It still isn't solved because my husband has Handcent installed and his phone doesn't do that. When I installed everything that was crucial to me (about 40 apps) it worked fine for 3 weeks straight. I installed Handcent, within 12 hours it started rebooting again. I had to factory reset it again to get it to stop. I've now installed everything I had on it before except Handcent. My husband never configured Handcent to the extent that I had (my most oft used contacts had their own notification tone, indicator light color, even light blink rate.)
Is anyone else using Handcent or are you using a different robust messaging client? Has anyone been able to narrow down things that interfere with Android versions Gingerbread and higher to the point that they'll reboot like that? I am still not 100% sure that Handcent is the problem but circumstantial evidence makes me think I might have found the culprit.

It sounds like it could be a memory leak for whatever reason that is causing the phone to reboot.. if it is Handcent, at least.
Do you know of any tools that I could use to test something like that. Does app memory usage get logged anywhere?

I honestly have no idea :/ do you have a lot of messages that need to be loaded? My friend used to use Handcent on his Droid Incredible, and after a while his phone slowed down due to all of the messages. I went in to delete the larger threads and the phone hung and got caught in a bootloop. Other than that and your story though, I've never heard of this before.
My issues range from the app randomly shutting down, to it taking multiple attempts to login, having to usually put your password in, to contacts not showing up.
Is anyone else having problems like this? What can I do. It's happened on stock and two other debloated ROMs. What can I do?

I just tried Skype for the first time, and video calling didn't work. I haven't used it enough to get any of those other issues.
Well it works fine for me but the video chat randomly freezes every 20 mins or so.
But other then that it works fine.

i get multi login and it wont log in unless i reboot the phone
Skype not quite working here either
I'm also having touble with it. Multiple logins, crashes, sometimes need to put the password in, at times can't even use the skype testing service; or it will be online and my contacts seem to be online but I can't IM them, anything I write gets stuck being sent with the message "pending". Rebooting sometimes works for a bit before it starts happening again.
I wonder what ROMs you are all using, and if perhaps some other background app/ service is conflicting. I've had pretty smoothe experience while using rooted/debloted ROMs.

Is anyone else experiencing skype problems?
Since "upgrading" to GS3 from GS2, Skype, one of the apps I use most often, has gone from good to awful.
Multiple logins, can't call, online when offline, offline when online, you name it.
For a commercial app it has to be one of the most buggy i've ever tried and honestly seems to be getting worse. i'm on the most up to date one with latest official samsung OS.
Yes , i am also have same problem with Skype. I tried different roms and only FeeGS3 with trinity alfa50 working without any problem.
Gonna be moving stuff from the One M8 to the G4 and I was wondering if LG's backup software was any good. HTC's worked perfectly when moving to it!
Used it to transfer from an S6. Took all night and couldn't turn the screen off at all one it started processing the transferred data but it seems to have worked. When I woke this morning the screen was still on and I had to press a button to finish the progress and go back to normal.
Tried it from my M9 and all it seems to want to transfer is call logs and messages, no apps.

I guess I'll give it another shot. I haven't used it for several years, maybe it's gotten better.
I used it from a Sony z2 and it worked really good.
It transfered call logs, sms. Tbh I don't know if it transfered anything else.
Between Lollipop's transfer and LG Backup everything came over smoothly from the M8. Didn't take long either, surprisingly. One thing that was interesting was I was at home and the phones found each other via Wifi, even though it said it was Wifi Direct. When I left the house the phones stopped transferring. I reconnected (took a few tries) and then it truly made a wifi direct connection and went a lot faster.
