[Q] Facebook App - Grey Screen - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is anyone finding that the facebook app doesn't show the login screen at all? I've reinstalled but no joy.
Thanks,

I had the same problem. I cleared the app cache and data, updated via play store and then it worked

Did try that. Something is a bit funny though as I thought Facebook was installed from factory but on my Vodafone UK variant it wasn't there. I installed from playstore. I'll wait a few days to see if there is an update.

Mine too
Mine is also a vodafone uk variant and does exactly the same with only the facebook app but the separate messenger app works fine with no issues.
Do you have the facebook beta tester version?

I have the same problem. Doesn't matter if I do the beta version or not, it still doesn't work. Very annoying as I primarily use Facebook on my phone.

I had the same problem too. Reinstalling and clearing data didn't help. Then I installed Spotify and selected Facebook login - that made it work. Strange.

You sir, are a genius.
I logged out of Spotify and signed in via facebook and it worked.
That is very strange indeed.

seems to be fixed in the latest Facebook update too

Facebook Timeline and WP7

Hello,
Just have a doubt that I would like to see if it happens only to me or is it for all.
I upgraded my Facebook profile last Wednesday with the new feature of Timeline (a new way to see our profile on Facebook).
Since this update on my Facebook page, I don't receive any "update" on my Me Tile on WP7.
I put videos, pictures and so on, bu my Tile still remains with the activity from Tuesday
Anyone noticed this?
Thanks,
Santos
works fine on mine

Snake, do you have Timeline activated on your Facebook profile?
This is a new feature from Facebook
I do, it´s pretty neat
//edit: have you tried re-syncing the account?

Yeah
I don't understand why I stopped receiving actualizations on my profile on my WP7
Should I delete my account and configure it again?

Yes, tried a few times and nothing.
The only thing that I did not try is delete my account of Facebook on WP7 and then put it again on the device
Well you can always try, try to sync it first, if that doesn´t work, remove it from your phone, and from Windows Live afterwards, then readd it again, see if it works, also, check the Windows Phone application permissions within app settings on facebook, maybe something got "switched" or blocked.

Problem solved.
Just deleted my account on device and readd it again, all working fine now.
Thanks Snake
Glad you solved it
I noticed that other peoples walls with facebook timeline wont update on my phone, and I tried deleting facebook from my phone and readding it, but their walls still wont update from last week when they got timeline :/ Do I have to remove facebook from windows live or something?
WP´s access to facebook is done using custom developed app, this app is considered third party, thus if user blocks accessing his info for 3rd party apps, he blocks the windows phone. But try completely removing it

Whatsapp problems.

Hi, I have problems with whatsapp.
Often I lost my contacts and I need to sincronize it every time.
Any one have the same issue?
Having the same problem… it happens once every 2 days.
Anybody might have a solution?
Thanks
My p8 max was stolen, now I have another p8max, a new one, and I have the same problem.
Maybe it`s the huawei app that controls the application consumption;nI try to configure it, but the problem persisted.
i managed to solve the problem by doing a factory reset. then restoring
I have the same problem. I have to update my contacts sometimes. The App is protected and all permissions allowed.
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI P8max mediante Tapatalk
I think it is the stock messaging app that does that if you use the third party messaging app you won't have that issue
Sorry, I don't understanding.
Whatapp is not a native app.

I try this before with no luck.
I deleted, and installed again, and nothing.
It seam's that today I solved the problem by updating the app from the huawei market place.
Today I don't need to synchronize my contacts.
I will say you something on a few days.
Thanks

I was having the same issue then I noticed when I received a text message my WhatsApp contacts would hide. I installed Google Messenger as default messaging app and it fixed the WhatsApp problem. I know its wierd but thats true.
Perfect two ways to fix the problem.
Just install true contacts from play store. Fix the WhatsApp contact issue.

Basically the stock contacts app is the one that cause this issue... so solution is :
- install any other contacts app (I'm using Contacts+ app)
- set the default calling or sms to that 3rd party app
Voila.. problem solved... at least for me..
Sorry Grillote, I have both updated WhatsApp from the Huawei App Store and installed Google Messenger, but the problem persists.
I'll try to install a third party contacts App, as some fellows have suggested.

Yes, me to, this time it`s take a long time to stop the sync, but the problem persist.
I try to change the contact app.
Thanks

Sorry to hear that. I oso installed third party phone and contact app( true dialer) for more than 1 week. Set as default. No issue so far.
It seems that the latest whatsapp version managed to keep the contacts from disappearing!

Google Contacts and Calendar not syncing

So all other google services seem to be working fine, app store is good.
Contacts and calender refuse to update.
I go into User&Accounts>Google>Sync sync now and it syncs Fi/Fit data/People but not Contacts. returns 'sync is currently experiencing problmes, it will be back shortly"
It did work as it says it synced 2 days ago. when I first got everything side loaded and working.
anyone else having issues or known fix?

Had the same issue. So I started from scratch with the installation of the Google Services until sync was working in-between the steps of installation.
Please tell me which version of installation did u use?
There are several... and which EMUI version did u use for installing the Google Services?

Folowed these directions, worked good, actually on Pro Plus and on 10.1.0.145
go to youtube and this short link since I cant post links yet 9fTIZFehwlw
Actually I saw that on different p40 the symptoms are different.
I have p40 pro and after initial sync when I put the Google account stopped syncying and even yahoo syns does not work
I'd you are above 136 on p40 pro lz application does not work.
I used a different method to put Google services and still does not work.

everything syncs and works but google contacts... that is the strange part.
will probably wait till something breaks it good and then hope there is a better "method"
I can live with manually import/export contacts.
I was just hoping it was something simple but doesnt sound like it
Thanks
Well actually I solved this...
Use app Fix Play Services 2020 and it will install new Play magazine and clear some cache and... It works. Now I can sync both Google and Yahoo accounts.
Remains the problems I have with Google Pay and Edenred Pay... Also I cannot sing in into UniCredit Account. Aplication is working but you cannot add your personal data.

Did it fix the google contact sync for u too? I'm also curious where you download the apk as it's not found in Aurora store. And the one I found from apkpure only do basic things like clear play services cache and stuff like that , that I already tried and not working.

Exactly this one... Fix Play Services 2020
It will drive you to Google play store and install an official one
The problem now is push notifications, does not work.

Finally solved the contacts syncing issue by uninstaling the Google contacts Sync(version 10) installed when I installed GMS on my P40 Pro and installing this one (version 4.4.4)

[APP][MOD] Messenger Old Chat Heads for Android 11+

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 08.08.2022​Messenger 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 06.01.2022
DOWNLOAD: AndroidFileHost
New versions:
- Messenger 342.1.0.14.119
- Facebook 349.0.0.0.122 alpha
Phone calls in Messenger should be fixed in this version
UPDATE 20.10.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 335.0.0.17.75
- Facebook 341.0.0.2.73
Download here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-for-android-11.4300779/page-5#post-85806197
Please give me feedback, if everything is all right I will replace files in this post.
UPDATE 7.09.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 329.0.0.10.118
- Facebook 336.0.0.0.85 alpha (I had troubles with decompiling standard/beta versions)
UPDATE 27.07.2021
New versions - facebook_330.0.0.0.102.apk and messenger_324.0.0.0.62.apk.
Fixed:
- connection Facebook <=> Messenger (sharing videos, opening Messenger from Facebook)
- (highly possible) Facebook not refreshing wall
Let me know if Facebook Lite or Business Manager is needed to be updated as well

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.

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

Contacts won't sync

Hello all,
Looking for some help with my contacts app not syncing and only allowing me to save contacts to my device. When I try to sign into my Google account in the app it just tells me I am already signed in even tho it won't show my profile or any contacts. I have tried clearing the app storage for contacts and reinstalling my Google account but that did not work. I also factory reset the phone and for a while the contacts app worked but then it broke again. I am not exactly sure when it broke but my phone is magisk rooted and I suspect maybe it was after I installed the UNSF module and cleared storage from Google play and Google services and rebooted? Have been searching around for a fix but haven't been able to come up with one yet so appreciate any suggestions.
