[Q] New Facebook Update

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.

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

Haxsync is ICS only

First of all its not installing anything new, just providing links to existing features.

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.

Everything greyed out after logging in?

Hey. As of two days ago whenever I log in while browsing XDA on my phone, all the text on the page goes from black to grey. This doesn't happen if I stay logged out. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
It's almost as if the page loaded some kind of popup and greyed everything out (but there's no popup).

I have the same problem. If I turn off java script it solves the issue but then every other website is crap.
Any ideas? It only happens on my android transformer prime, like some overlay on the screen.

Hmm, this is a new one. What browser are you using?

Was using the stock JB/CM10 browser (for the S2/Hercules).
Noticed this issue went away a soon as I reverted back to CM9.

I am also having this problem on my Note using Maxthon browser.

For me it's working pretty good. CM9.1 stock browser + dorimanx kernel 5.90.
Trying to upload my screenshot from XDA app but it's giving me an error...both tapatalk or foum option

Anybody ever figure this one out? I am experiencing the same. I am on Galaxy Note with stock browser and CM10. If I log out, it all looks normal, when I log in, is all cloudy, pics and all...
Edit: It went away for me if I disable java script.....but this breaks other stuff so its not a fix, just a symptom lol

Confirming that switching the Theme to 2010 solves the issue (multiple devices).
Thank you.

Come on XDA fix your themes please!! :laugh:

I have the same issue using my Nexus 10 stock with Dolphin browser beta. The problem only apeared when I'm logged in.
Disable JavaScript solved the issue temporary.
Please xda can someone fix the bug!

Change the theme on xda to 2010

Does it still have that nasty service app that ALWAYS run in the background?

its smooth but i didnt like quick reply, notifications like ''popup''

The old update used to work on my wifi in university, which has a proxy server. This new update now shows as if I'm not connected to internet when on that wifi! Anyone has the same problem and or knows how to fix it?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

the new version is a proper app and not a webapp, so it cannot recognise that there is no connection.
i am also in uni, what i do is open a browser first and go to any site, then the proxy should intercept it and ask you to login.
once login-ed, then open facebook again.

Yep, finally, no more HTML5. From now on, I expect it more smooth and as good as the iOS version.

This Facebook 2.0 is not smooth on my S3 running WANAM LITE Rom. The scrolling is not smooth. I don't know about you guys but my connection is only on WiFi and I am able to use the app.

(NEW) FACEBOOK INTERFACE - "Newsfeed"

Hello Note 2 users!
I bring great news.
Facebook is planning to offer a update that allows the user interface to become "clutter-free" on your Android device. Aka Newsfeed.
It's not officially open to the entire public yet, and you will have to sign up to join the waiting list.
Word has it that there are android users already being switched slowly into the new UI. I imagine that this new feature would look great on our phablet.
https://www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed
You will need to view the page on your desktop or in desktop mode. Scroll to the bottom to join!
Go get em!

I didn't install this, and it's been fantastic. It's everything I've always wanted in a Facebook app. Absolutely no hit in battery performance, too. Great work!!!

I've found that whenever FB does a large change, they lower privacy settings.
When they announce something new I look at it with a great deal of skepticism because I don't want to inadvertently start spamming my friends and family. I also don't want non-friends and family suddenly knowing my shopping habits, where and when I'm not at home, etc.

Just update the facebook app to its current release. I just compared my Facebook app to the website the op provided and It's the same feed style that the OneX is showing.

Mine doesn't do that after the update?

I'm also having this problem and i think i've just figured out what was causing it. It was the USB cable i'm using that is damaged. The bug happens just after i plug the cable. Please, try with a different cable
Edit:
Either the cable and chrome are causing the bug here.

I can confirm. BTW, I have also disabled the old Chrome.

Uninstalled Chrome, switch to Firefox.
Everything is fine again. :good:

Thanks

i have deleted chrome but bug still there

try to disable it form the app list, you can do it after having remove all update, and also disable auto uptade for it from google play market

I had this problem with Opera,but after update from 18.03 it disappeared. Try it.
