Facebook ChatHeads Not Working - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys...not sure if this is an S3 specific thing or not so I decided to post in here.
Anyways the new messenger came out today and I wanted to try out chatheads. I install all the updates and everything. Even Facebook home. There is no option to even enable chatheads in my app. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You don't need to enable them, they're already activated.

But I've seen screen shots with a setting for chat heads underneath. They definitely are not appearing on my device

I can see the option on mine & I have working on my GT-I9100 faking a GT-I9300 so Facebook Home could work on it as it's one of the supported cellphones in the initial release.

More of a Q&A thing
Thread moved

Same problem but I think the issue is related to the Facebook accounts. I tested using two accounts on one phone. One of them had the chatheads option after signing in. The second didn't. Not a hardware or software bug. There's something wrong with the account preferences. So far it's a no go.

having the same problem (with my sony xperia tipo, just rooted, nothing else)
if i use those apks which used to have chatheads enabled it doesn't work, even if i long-press a conversation and click on "pop out chat head" it sends me to the home screen, but no chathead appears

I actually just tried this out as well. It's a bummer, I was really excited for this.

Same boat.
Galaxy S3, Verizon Rooted stock ROM and I can not enable chat heads. The option just doesn't exist.

Idk what the issue is. Its working fine for me on AOKP with nova prime.

It does exist and work, you can see in my screen shots
stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!

Can anyone else confirm that it's an account thing and not a phone / device thing?
I've ever registered my mobile with Facebook in account settings hoping that would do it. No luck.

[ROM][Port] JoyOS 1.2.1

JoyOS 1.2.1​A pretty convincing iOS clone, now on an Epic 4G near you.
This is a Gingerbread ROM. GAPPS are included.
Screens:​
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What Works:
Data (With workaround, listed below.)
Calls
SMS
GPS
Camera
Torch
Other stuff...
What Doesn't Work:
WifiAP
USB Tethering
Reboot to recovery
Other stuff I'm sure...
Data workaround:
When you first boot JoyOS up, go to Settings>Operators>Access Point Names, and tap the radio button for Sprint. This unfortunately doesn't stick on reboot, so anytime you reboot you have to go back to APN's and instead of tapping the radio button, actually tap on Sprint. This will open the settings for the Sprint APN. Just back out of it and 3G will activate in a few seconds.
Bugs:
Some Chinese here and there.
Home and search keys, capacitive and physical, may stop working. A reboot fixes this. (Rare, only happened the very first time I got it booting.)
Lockscreen may stop appearing when you unlock your phone. A reboot fixes this. (Rare, only happened the very first time I got it booting.)
Sometimes sms' don't show up in the app when received. I don't know why, or a possible fix other than using a third party sms app. If you want to keep the iOS style, I suggest ChompSMS. (This may be an upstream issue with the SMS app.)

Google syncs all your contacts with Gmail, so it will restore them automatically.

I had all around crap luck with mine. I only had it 3 days and I couldn't take it. On the internet, it would hang up, crash, not zoom and even display weird colour. Tether would not work. Facebook was so so. The camera sucked, it would wig out and act like I was looking through acid goggles. Should I continue?

Really? I have yet to see anyone on the leak get their CPU to actually go to sleep. Uptimes and real uptimes are always identical. The CPU doesn't sleep......ever. I have an extended battery and have a setCPU profile to WAY underclock it when the screen times out, but the CPU never truly goes to sleep. I am managing, but it is going through my battery life faster than normal (even in airplane mode it drains).

You don't see any HTC phones or Motorola using s voice Haha so
It is what it is
This new S-voice driving mode is awesome at reading text messages aloud over the Bluetooth stereo in my car. You can reply with your voice and its crazy accurate.
Only problem ive encountered is I can't voice navigation while on driving mode. S voice force closes. Anyone else get this?

Could there be an Svoice lib that should go with the apk. I know that missing lib/s are common cause of app FC

I never used mine but just tried and it won't even let me add my location, so my assumption would be the yahoo weather feed it used has been changed or is down, especially since it's across various roms, which all really have the same base.

The first thing i did every morning was check the weather on the Lockscreen.
Maybe this isnt new but i have not found a fix in our forums so..
I went where of coarse... google.Started looking around to find a fix
and sure enough.Good ole XDA boys got it figured out and they have
a Flashable zip that i have tested and confirm it works on Slimbean 4.1.2 V4
There is also a standlone APK for 4.2. but it will not work with anything under 4.2
Here it is the one for Slimbean....

Darn! I just tried this too. I'm on an unlimited plan, so I activated the phone on a different line, then switched it over to my line. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
is this a root problem, or bootloader? You could try to run "root cloak" app on Xposed Framework. I know that worked for people wanting to get ISIS wallet to work. It fools the app into thinking that you are not rooted.
It didn't check for root or anything

They typically don't need to ask for root. If you are rooted try root cloak. Have you edited your build prop or super cid?

Apparently if your bootloader is unlocked Drive will not activate the bonus storage. In the comments someone relocked their bootloader and was able to activate the promotion. I am not that interested to relock for the promotion, but maybe right before it expires.

Just call HTC. Explain you didn't recieve the promo and they will ask u for your imei ams then email u a link to activate it. This is what I did and worked flawless. I now have 75GB.

Raising this topic from the dead in case anyone else is in the same boat as me...
I didn't even know about this feature but recently read about it when they upgraded existing users to 100GB. I unlocked my device the day I got it so never opened the stock drive application.
I called the 888 number and they just asked for my IMEI and email address and they sent me an email. I already pay for 100GB, so they added another 100GB on top of that.
Thanks!
Odd, I didn't have any issues getting the promotion and I unlocked/rooted (with Firewater) day 1 as well.

Thanks for this tip. Worked for me yesterday.

Glad it still works months later. Are y'all rooting, and then trying to get your storage space? Or what's the hiccup?

No hiccup. Just to bump/confirm, I contacted HTC using their email contact form (see here http://www.htc.com/us/contact/email/), and just now got email with a link to activate my shiny new 100GB Google Drive storage good for two years. Clicked and confirmed, all good. Pleasantly surprised after I procrastinated on the initial offer of just 50GB, lol.
