Hey all. I've run into an issue where my phone refuses to download Facebook from the market.
I'll click to download and it begins the download process but it terminates at approximately 45% every time. I don't receive any error prompts or anything, the download just stops and disappears from my notifications.
Any chance anyone could post the most recent version of Facebook for me and I coud see if sideloading it would alleviate this issue?
Try installing sgs tools and then clear your market cache.

awesome! that worked! thanks!
in case anyone does need the latest facebook APK, here it is:
Facebook v1.5.2
Facebook v1.5.2 is pretty buggy and does a lot of FCs on my captivate. I wouldn't recommend updating your FB app if you haven't already.

+1 for flow. I'd expect Facebook to purchase the rights to that app. It puts there's to shame.

Yeah, I think it's something they did on their end. When I first up dated it, FC everytime. Now it works fine.

I get push notification now with facebook. I didn't get it when i was on CM7 but after switching to continium 4 i started getting notification ... weird.
I wasn't getting push notifications myself and was using flow for like a week. All I had to do was change my current facebook email to the gmail one I made when I got this phone and everything is working properly and notifications are actually arriving on time.
Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks
looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.
I added my fb account without any problems..

you are not running stock GB on Verizon tho
Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

Yep do you have problems with your front facing camera in video chat applications?
Well, the only one I've tried is Tango, but I read that the front camera not working is a known issue with that app and our phone. I haven't tried any others yet.

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.
Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?

On MIUI - had it pushed to me last week. At first I thought it was a pita to use.
But... after I played with it a bit I think I like it a lot better than the old market.
The only thing I don't like is that it is painful if your not on wireless and have a slow connection.
I am not liking the update at all....

I just got the update today. It feels very cramped and unorganized.
got mine last night sort of reminds me of the new windows 8 ui

It showed up on mine this afternoon. It seems to purposely designed to avoid free apps.

Everyone was so excited when this was first announced.
They took out the option to disable the "updates available" notification.
Also youtube and flash player don't show up under "my apps" in the market anymore. If I search them, they say installed and allow updating that way

Wrong again. I got the market update yesterday, checked My Apps and it shows Flash Player and You Tube.

For me, on my phone, clearing market cache and titanium market doctor/linking are not fixing it either.

Your flaming/personal attacks have been reported to the moderator
Normally bugs don't affect every user/configuration. They would be quickly/easily fixed if they did. Just because the bug doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

that doesn't seem to work because as soon as Google play store updates again it comes right back.

I tried the steps from the post... It didn't work for me. once the market updates to the play store it says I have an update for what ever this Russian app is! I reported it but I'd really like to know how to remove this from my device.

I did it again for good measure.. it was still there. I reported it. just checked a few minutes ago and it was gone from my updates. Checked my installed apps. It wasn't there (to be safe). I think Google knocked it out! Try reporting it as a security risk for data and see what happens in like 30 minutes.
(while its there I'd make sure auto update is off!)

Been emailing the dev back and fourth for a week or so and he JUST put it on the market not 20 minutes ago.

ENJOY!!!
(You have to delete your old mms, or rename it to mms.apk.bak, or you will recieve texts twice!)
Everything else seems to work perfectly.
UPDATE 4/8: MMS fixed. FC on self picture click check market for the update. Dev is touring europe for a few weeks so there probably wont be any other updates for a bit :[
If you guys really appreciate this I reccomend donating to the dev, his paypal email is in the description in the store. For all the people who had the FC issue when deleting thread or the new MMS app where the silly attachment and send button were switched and it drove you crazy.

Or what you can do is in the Applications menu, disable the old MMS. It's like freezing it. Just built into the OS. I think I'm starting to like ICS more and more...

Might need to edit the apk's XML's to match the stock messaging app to fix that. Don't have my computer right now, so I can't do it myself, but when I was messing around on an Epic, that's what we have to do to prevent that.

Saw this in your other thread, thanks for the info. It'd be better with working mms.

So far everything has worked great for me.. haven't had a single FC. I also have it as a system app.

If so the solution may be to make a system app. will try now.
Edit, nope no change for me.
Great find man already popped it into the system/app and it runs great no fc but is there a way to make the new message icon come up on the lockscreen like the old mms did?

This is from the app's description in the play store:
* Removed some stuff about "date sent", which was causing crashes. Samsung's lame SMS app doesn't have this field in the database. I could potentially add it though. But it is not a critical feature so I just disabled it.
* There's stuff about DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the code. I presume this is for copy protected MMSs? Does anyone even use MMSs? Anyway I haven't tested anything to do with MMSs or DRM and there's a good chance the app will crash if it has to deal with any of that stuff.
