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.

lol,wouldnt know where to begin doing that
Make a backup before trying!
Anyways, you can try..
Goto system/app, rename play store apk (i always just add ".bac")
Reboot. Use a root explorer, rename new play store, drop it into system/app. Reboot again. Should be good
almost forgot, set permissions too. rw r r
^^^^that's how I updated to the new gmail
for the new market I believe, I just had to install it (overwrite)

Of course it doesn't unauthorize you from it, it just removes it from the list. And protip: Market->Settings->Add a PIN, Enter PIN for Purchases. No more (potential) unauthorized purchases. In-App or from the market app.

I havent used CM10 but maybe check your APN settings. What kernel are you using
maybe you also need to flash a (newer) baseband
---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
APNs are only used for internet access. But in order to access the internet, you must be on a mobile network (or WiFi)
What method did you use to get CM10 on your phone? Give us as much detail as you can. It sounds like you need to manually input your APN settings and you should be fine. It happens some times. I know some ROMs wipe mine if I don't reboot between flashes.
Reboot to recovery, do a factory reset, reboot. See if that fixes your issues. :good:

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.

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

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 .

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.

red:disabled.

Nope, it disables services permamently. To make service work again you have to reenable it. Fortunatelly many apps can work with most of their services disabled.

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.
