you mean Facebook app, right? not that I'm aware of. only have. software from the market. no themes. running stock kernel and rom. other thing that might be related is that when i try to open my Gmail inbox, or sinc my Gmail account - just mail - the process google apps stop responding and force closes, without letting me see if i have incoming mail. started 1,5 weeks before the Facebook app prob

did you made any change in your phone?
It's easily cleared by logging out and logging back into your account.

i did it but with no joy. still get the same error...
and the error only happen when i access my profile and the news feed...
I'm having the same problem, but it only happens when I try to view my own profile. I've reflashed and formatted - still no luck. Can anyone help?
same problem out of no were..tried everything with no luck
After doing some research it appears the issue is FB itself. All Android related FB apps are having the same issue.
Add me to the list. Everything was fine until the latest update.
I've found the error. It's not with FB. It's with the feed. Sometimes, there are things in your feed the JSON cannot read. That creates the error. I uploaded a youtube video and was constantly getting this error. I logged into FB from a desktop and deleted the post and now it works perfectly. Apparently, there are some things in the feed that aren't read correctly - creating the error. Hope this helps!

I'm actually surprised I was somewhat right about this issue in another thread in which I tried to answer this question. Here's my reply

I've seen this every once in a while and my guess is that there is something weird in your feed and when Facebook pulls that data from their database to your Facebook app using JSON that there is a weird character or something that's making the JSON corrupt. Once that item in your feed that's causing it to be corrupt is removed manually on the facebook site or automatically (items fall of your feed over time) the error will go away.

^^^ I find this to be correct ^^^
When someone posts something in the newsfeed that the droid facebook app doesn't like, then the app will give that error. After more people post in the newsfeed and the culprit post is weeded out, then it goes back to working. Same will go for looking at your friends profiles, or even at your own profile if someone posts something the app does not like.
Also, I get the same problem with Bloo, but Bloo does not state an error has occurred. It will just fail to load the feed, or profile, etc...
Wanted to also add in that this is a universal problem... meaning iPhone and WM users are also having facebook app failures do to something facebook has done on their end.
android FB
facebook on android is terrible iphone FB is far better (i hate iPhone, not a fan boy) hell even blackberry FB is better besides the contact sync the app is almost useless over 50% of the time
i keep going in message>settings>facebook chat and i keep getting that it needs to be set up, so i click set up but all that happens is takes me to a facebook homepage on an browser, so i cant load chat, any ideas??
Did you try to remove the fb account from your phone and add the account again?
For me that solved the problem.
Yes I've done that several times :/ I've erased it and rebooted, but still didn't work, if not oh well don't want to be reflashing my phone too lengthy, hopefully someone could offer a solution

Log into your live account (not on your phone) and then link your fb chat to the live msn chat thing. That's what I had to do
When I go to the facebook chat at the official app it says something like.. "unable to retrieve friend list, please try it later". I have uninstalled the updates of the facebook app and reinstalled again and doesnt works...
Something weird is that if I have the facebook chat open in my computer, then the chat in my desire s works too, but if I close it in the computer, then stops working...
anyone has the same issue and have any solution?
I am using the stock rom 2.3.5, and I am S-ON
Thanks!

OK I will try it, although it should not be like that... If it happens to more people it seems that it's a facebook bug...

My facebook messenger app doesn't load any messages. But facebook messenger lite app works perfectly. I tried to login with my sister's phone too. Still no luck.. what kind of problem is this? Surely it is app/ account related problem.
How can I get help in this situation. I really need to use Messenger app
With Android 11 came the bubble functionality, which displaced the chat head mechanism in Messenger. Unfortunately bubbles are very buggy - for example on OnePlus phones they are responsible for freezing the whole phone.
That's why I've created a MOD for Messenger which brings back the old chat heads.
Install guide
Uninstall all Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Facebook Business Suite etc).
Install the apps from this post (the ones you are using)
Enjoy!
(If you use Facebook apps that are not attached to this post, let me know, I'll resign apks and add them)
--------------------------------------------
DEPRACATED 08.08.2022Messenger brought back old chat heads to their official application, this mod is no needed anymore
You can uninstall modded apks and install official ones from Google Play.
If you encounter any problems with official apps (e.g. crashing when trying to open an app). You probably needs to clear dalvik cache.

UPDATE 7.09.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 329.0.0.10.118

So the version of FB in my phone is showing as a system app. I can't uninstall. Attaching pics. Can u tell me how to uninstall plz? It shows"installed" but I can't uninstall, if I go thru the play Store, it gives the "uninstall updates to this system app" only option. I have it disabled because I don't trust it *note NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED. Yeah well that's too fishy. Plus I'm locked out of FB right now cause i have 2 factor on & when I get the code & enter it I get an error msg invalid code. I left FB services enabled so I can continue using IG. I really miss using Messenger, if u have any suggestions I'd much appreciate.

You can try https://www.maketecheasier.com/uninstall-system-apps-without-root-android/ to uninstall system app
Sorry to bother you but is there an alternative way to accomplish this without having a computer??
Thank you it works! Btw, what if I don't use the Facebook app you provided here?

I cannot share videos to messenger from the facebook app
Is the link good? I can't download anything. It just open and nothing happens.
Man! Thanks for the mod! You're a lifesaver!!
Do we have to use the Facebook that you provide or can we use the official one?

Use the official one if you can! Resigned version is helpful if you cannot install Messenger due to signing conflict.

Thank you so much for this! Gone are the days of suffering through awful chat bubbles.
I have a weird bug on Facebook though. Posts aren't updating so I see the same posts even after force stopping the app and clearing the cache. This only happens to posts under "Home", not "Recent". Is there a fix for this?

you need to select the copy and paste link in the conversation. this option does not work because the system does not detect this application as official Messenger

Facebook has some signature checks, I will try to bypass this, but It is very challenging.

No, I will try to look into that, when I have some time
Anybody here has experience with modding such applications? I could use some help
