Did and Did more then one time non of these helped.

try one of the UN official fbook apps.

I am with Trusselo on this - try one of the unofficial apps. I like FB Black personally, but there are a few out there. Also when I have an issue with it not connecting it is usually because I have changed how I am connected since I first open the app. For example we have six wifi points at my work and if I am walking around the building and go off one onto another then it seems to confuse the app. Turning the wifi off and back on again on the phone and restarting the app is the most I have to do to fix it.

Uninstall fb app. Go to accounts and add fb as a account. After that install the official fb app.

If i do this will facebook add all my friends to my contacts and what not? I don't want everyone on facebook in my phone. Thanks again for the help. Guess i can try and see what happens lol.

Have you tried using the official Facebook app again since when you were having those problems? I have was having that same problem a few days ago too and it went away last night when I gave it a shot again...

I was also having an issue with the official FB app so I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone, re-installed it and now it's working great.

Quick Question about app

Hey I just rooted my gf's Inspire using the GUI method and everything went flawlessly. Still waiting till more devs get in on this phone because I have an Evo and there is a great deal more development (of course because it's been out for much longer). Anyways, does anybody know the .apk name for the Learn More app so I can delete it through RootExplorer. It is completely useless. Once that question is answered then this thread can be deleted.
bump. Also stupid question but is there no front facing camera on this phone? Also I accidentally have it so every contact is syncing to google twice. Under every contact when you go to link it shows up google twice. Is there any way to fix this.
Well i know you cant remove an account from.gtalk without wiping the phone. Any chance you put same acct. In twice?

No what actually happened is a synced her google account which has all of her numbers and then I accidentally imported all her number from her sim to google so they were syncing both for some reason. I reset the phone and now the google contacts won't sync. I'm going to try some things and see if I can get everything working. But do you know the .apk name for Learn More?
Quick fix for the contacts us to go to Google contacts on the computer and use their dedupe toil in the top tool bar.

Thanks, I still can't find the .apk name for the Learn More app and I desperately want to delete it for her cause she keeps nagging about it. However I did get the google contacs fixed and everything is up and running. Now if only someone would tackle an SBC, undervolted kernel to attack this terrible battery life.

[Q] "Updates available" notification. But there is nothing to update

Since I flashed 2.3.7 and restored my apps with titanium backup, i have been getting a notification from Android Market on my phone saying that I have updates for 3 apps. But when I open android market there is nothing to update. Everything is up to date, and 1 app is "not installed". Is there a solution to this?
Thanks
I too have this issue. And I am on a non rooted phone.

Have you tried clearing the market cache?
i had this problem before, clearing cache won't work. What i noticed was the i have 3 gmail accounts and for some reason my google market would default to one of my other various accounts. Do menu then accounts, and make sure that its on the right google account you normally download apps on.

I only have one account and still have the issue. I think its a bug with the market app.

Check under the "not installed" section one at a time. Once you tap the app, it will either say update or uninstall
Sometimes the updates hide in there
How do you clear the market cache? I will try that.

Do you have two gmails accounts on the phone? I get that too its usually the market switching the accounts
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
mine has switched to one of my other gmail accounts a few times now out of nowhere. Maybe it's doing it when the market app silently updates.

That's what is was for me. Although I had YouTube installed, it was also in the "my apps " section in the market under not installed. I decided to hit youTube, and lo and behold, update.
Definitely a BUG in the Market. Happens to me too.

It doesn't say what apps need updating. Also there are no apps listed under "Not installed"

Ok try this market. The problem u speak of seems to have been squashed in this version

Facebook new app not working

I just installed the updated facebook app released today. it's foreclosing on me like there's no tomorrow. wondering if you are having any problems with it on your triumph.
Stock Motorola Triumph
Sent from my Xoom - btw, the new facebook app works great on the Xoom.
Well, I'm running CM7, but I didn't get any force closes in about 10 minutes of use with the updated app.
Maybe it's a froyo thing then. I hope go hear fron more people before blaming this phone

I updated a little while ago. No problems yet
Sent from my Triumph
try turning your phone off and on sometimes works
Im still trying to iron out this problem. When I login with my facebook account, on my wife's triumph, the facebook app works fine. As soon as she logs in with her account, the app crashes when trying to do a status update.
The facebook app on my xoom, as I mentioned earlier, works great. I started to suspect that the crashes where related to her account instead of the app itself. So I made her sign in to her facebook account on my xoom, and as soon as she tries to do a status update, the app crashes the same way as on the phone.
I made her uninstall all the extra crap, like farmille, from her facebook account and so far nothing has resolved the issue.

Try deleting your Facebook app entirely, then re-installing it. Clearing data may work; but sometimes there's a discrepancy between system and data apks.
The Facebook update posted today fixed the problems. I still don't understand how the app could work with one account and not with others.
Thank you to all of you for the given recommendations.
I would "Delete Data" from Manage Applications and then make sure the Application is not stored on your SD Card but locally on your Phone. I had problems with Facebook crashing and as soon as I moved it back to my Phone I have not had any more problems.

Worked for me on GB working for me with original oneclick ics rom. Not sure what your issue or what rom you are running. maybe one that deleted the sns .apks needed for this?
I keep getting "2 New Messages" for the past like 3 days and when I click on the notification there aren't any, then like 10 mins later the notification comes back again lol
They've never worked since I got the phone
Back I'm my htc inspire days we found out if you log into your facebook account on a blackberry and enable push notifications, then fire your android device back up. It worked well for a lot of poeple

i hope no need to push fb notofication.. but not really
sorry bad english
I haven't used fb lately. But I did get an event invite notification last night. I find sometimes they don't work onedy yet will work the next. I think it may be issues on their end. Try clearing the apps data and login again if not give it a few days and see if they come back.
I dis do the blackberry trick mentioned above on my account though.
To get Facebook push notifications to work you need to set your refresh interval to "Never" and if that doesn't work, leave it at never and do the blackberry trick.
-Wipe Data/Cache of Facebook on your phone and stay signed-out
-Download the Blackberry emulator from your phone
-Log in to Facebook on the emulator and allow the permissions for the Blackberry Emulator
-Check your account from the PC and make sure somewhere under one of your apps it says it's using a Facebook for Blackberry
-Close it all and log back in using your Android Facebook and push notifications should work.
They're hit or miss, they work like 90% of the time it seems.
where can i find this spoken of blackberry emulator on my phone?
It's worked for me on wifi but not on regular data, very sketchy on the regular data connection.

I just fixed my facebook notifications.
I only got notifications about events but never about posts.
I first cleared cache. That didn't work. I then logged out of the facebook app and relogged and viola it all notifcations work again.
The notification interval is irrelevant btw. I tried never, 30 min, 1 hr. It doesn't matter.
This worked for me so I hope this works for you.
Thank me if it works please xD
Facebook notification has never worked for me. My wife has the Note and it worked for her for the first week then suddenly it stopped. On GB it didn't work and same for ICS no matter which rom you get it will not work. Someone on here mentioned the Blackberry Emulator trick, that is about the only way the notifications will come to your phone. A friend of mine did it in the past and it has worked for him ever since. I will be trying it as soon as I can find the Emulator from my phone which I can't seem to figure out how to download it.

Can you give us a link from where we can download this BlackBerry Emulator?
Thanks
Somewhere on the FB website under security is a section showing authorized or attached devices. Each rom flashed adds another device to the list. Clear out that list entirely, uninstall FB from phone, reboot phone re download FB from market and install. Reboot BEFORE setting up FB login. Once rebooted log into FB again on phone and change the default notificagon sound to your choice and notifications should work again for posts, replies rcomments, etc.
<insert witty signature here>
My push notifications are working fine (Superlite 5.0) but Facebook sync is going bonkers though. It won't sync with existing contacts only, so it's either all Facebook contacts or none at all. A bit annoying.

Similar behavior happened on another Android when I disabled or uninstalled stuff related to Yahoo. I think Yahoo Contacts. I'd go over Yahoo & Google & others related to contacts, email, authenticators etc.
I Defrosted all my frosten apps, cleared Data for the Contacts App then Restarted. No cahnge :/
