Facebook update - General Questions and Answers

I just received a message through Facebook that there is an application update. I've never seen this. I've only gotten updates through the play store. I did a reinstall of the app after removing in and clearing the cache and still was promoted to update through Facebook.
Is this a legitimate update or should I be worried?

Go to settings, applications, manage apps, then go to all, find market, click force stop, then clear data and cache, then reopen market.

Sometimes it just takes a while to update to the new market.

When I reflashed mine yesterday, it showed the "old" market.. and even trying AppBrain to bring some of my apps down, NHL Game Center Live wasn't found in Market at first, even though NHL Game Center FREE and Premium were...
after a couple reboots, and about 30 min Market upgraded itself, and after a little while longer, NHL Game Center Live was found and I was able to install it.
Ya sometimes it does take a while. Just make sure you don't have market updater frozen.
how do you know if it is frozen?

XDA Premium App gone?

So today I checked my home screen and noticed my XDA app was missing, then checked the phone and turns out it was completely uninstalled out of nowhere. Check the market, it SAYS "Purchased," go to Install/download, and it fails and tells me it failed because I haven't purchased the app... Really getting annoying. Anyone know who I can talk to about it? I have the receipt for it in my email still.

EDIT: Solved............. I'm an idiot. Downloaded it through Amazon, not the Android Marketplace, hahaha. Dumb mistake.
Maybe try clearing market data /cache

Nope. Nothin. :/ Have no idea why it just wiped itself from my phone... Regular one works great, but it was definitely nice having the premium.

Lookout security

Today i got an email asking if im still using lookout security. I replied and was told.that the app hasnt talked to their server in quite some time.
I cant see any reason for this. I tried to uninstall it to reinstall it. I get an uninstallation fail message.
How do i go about uninstalling it/fixing it as the app has http connect errors?

You could delete it from /data/app and then reinstall from Google Play.

I cleared the cache and reentered my account. Now its working as it should.

Unable to use Facebook on TB with latest app release

Now I am having this issue with my Thunderbolt with the latest FB update. On WIFI no issue, but no go on 4G, wifes HTC Rezound has no issues with the updated version either. This is very frustrating for sure. I have uninstalled the app, cleared cache, pulled battery, etc. I have reported to FB too, but wanted to see if others here are having same issues.
Here's what works for me, I NEVER use the facebook app, I delete it from my phone completely and log on to facebook mobile with my brower and then add it to my bookmarks.
Interestingly enough mine is actually working better than it has been in a while. The only issue I have is when my 4G flutters up and down. I am currently unrooted and stock as if my 4G keeps having this issue I am going to be doing some yelling down at Verizon.
Have you tried using another app like Friendcaster?
Remove, install older version from backup, disable auto update.
Backup often! Airdroid is the bom for that.

Are you rooted and using a ROM? Might be ROM related. I know this is the first time Facebook has worked for me this flawlessly.

Thanks for the replies, not rooted - i didn't have the back up so I'm SOL and will try friendcaster.
Is it legit for me to dropbox it and share?

Hangouts

I tried installing the new Google Hangouts and it tells me that it is not available for the Note 8! Any ideas why?

Mine says it is installed on my device from the web play store, but it is the Google Talk app. i can't delete Google Talk to see if re-installing the app would work (non-rooted.) Strange.

Google Talk turns into hangouts after install. I just downloaded the apk from the Web. But I see a download link on xda as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41473448
Note after I installed the apk, it still had a Google Talk icon. But it turned into a hangouts icon overnight.

I'm using an Archos G9 and all I had to do yesterday was sideload the APK from a mirror (not the Play Store link) and as soon as I finished installing it, it was updated from Talk to Hangouts. So if my crappy G9 can get it, you should be able to get it on that fly-ass N8 of yours! Best of luck!
