Hey all. I've run into an issue where my phone refuses to download Facebook from the market.
I'll click to download and it begins the download process but it terminates at approximately 45% every time. I don't receive any error prompts or anything, the download just stops and disappears from my notifications.
Any chance anyone could post the most recent version of Facebook for me and I coud see if sideloading it would alleviate this issue?
Try installing sgs tools and then clear your market cache.

awesome! that worked! thanks!
in case anyone does need the latest facebook APK, here it is:
Facebook v1.5.2
Facebook v1.5.2 is pretty buggy and does a lot of FCs on my captivate. I wouldn't recommend updating your FB app if you haven't already.

It force closed a lot initially. Became useable after a while.
Swyped from my Froyo-ed Captivate.
Can you all see pics using the update? Lost of reviews stating pics don't work at all
The Facebook app sucks. No notifications for anything.
I use Flow.

I haven't used it but I'm irritated with the facebook app. Is flow worth paying for?

Flow seems nice just wish it had a nicer UI.

+1 for flow. I'd expect Facebook to purchase the rights to that app. It puts there's to shame.

Yeah, I think it's something they did on their end. When I first up dated it, FC everytime. Now it works fine.

I get push notification now with facebook. I didn't get it when i was on CM7 but after switching to continium 4 i started getting notification ... weird.
I wasn't getting push notifications myself and was using flow for like a week. All I had to do was change my current facebook email to the gmail one I made when I got this phone and everything is working properly and notifications are actually arriving on time.
Probably the only complaint I have about my new phone is the lack of a 100% working Facebook experience.
The Facebook app seems to periodically just stop updating/issuing notifications for periods at a time.
TweetDeck works for awhile but then suddenly loses my settings.
Seemic doesn't automatically update/issue notifications at all plus I don't like the fact that the updates from multiple services aren't integrated in one stream like Tweetdeck does.
Not sure what other options I have at this point.
Mine seems to work fine

One of the things that worked super well for me on my old phone was "fim" but sadly, I dont think that its available for android, just winmo. Hopefully the devs decide to port it
If you go Settings->Account and Sync, is background data/auto-sync turned on?
also down where it says "Manage Accounts" make sure it's turned on also.
Yea dude mine us working fine. Check your settings?

yup and yup.
I actually have two facebook items listed here.. the first seems to be for that social updates its called Facebook SocialUpdates when I go in to its details. I have that turned off. When its turned on it generates session expired errors and when I gave it my login it won't accept the password (I've verified the pw is correct).
The other just says Facebook in its details and that is on.
edit: maybe there's another app its conflicting with... frustrating.

Are you running stock? If you're rooted, what I would try is making a back up of your apps using Titanium Backup and then uninstalling all your social networking apps that could be conflicting with it and then reinstall only facebook from the market and see if that helps. Again, that's just what I would try. Good luck
I'm running stock, but I think I'll take your advice anyway and uninstall all the social network apps... can't hurt.
I would have to agree with you, DarienA, of all three OS's, facebook for android is the worst. I mostly speak about the options available in this app version. I am a little biased as my previous phone had FB 2.0 and it was very nice, plus the push notifications were almost instant. Just my two cents on facebook for android.

My work phone is a Blackberry Torch. I've been spoiled by its FB app.

I would have to disagree. The fb app for iPhone is awful.

Besides the App needing the ability to delete comments, seeing all who like something and built in video uploads, I've not had issues with it.

How do you remove comments?
It'd be nice to be able to tag photos. I don't think you can do that with the iphone FB app either though.

Yeah you can. The app just never functioned for me properly on my iPhone. Never got my notifications, comments wouldn't load...I'm having much better experiences with the android app.

Well upon further investigation, you can only remove posts or comments that originated from the app...at least that's what I've seen so far.

Twitter supposedly has push notifications. How the heck do I turn them on? I'd like to know when I get an @reply without waiting on sync.

I thought push was always enabled? The normal interval sync still does what it does but I thought push was forced on you?
I just downloaded it and looked and yeah there's no option for push...confusing. If you want, you can PM me your twitter handle and I can tweet at you to test it.

Push isn't working then. I get a txt message that I got an @reply but no notification from twitter itself.
I've turned off the txt feature so can someone hit up @gunnyman so I can test?

Two things
I took my Twitter off of private
I changed the notification from @mentions from people I know to everyone.
So I take it you did it on the computer then

The protecting part yes. The notificationsetting is in the Twitter app itself.

This has to just be for the app though. I have Twitter for Mac installed on my laptop and @mentions get pushed to it immediately even though my Twitter is still private.
Also, I'm using TweetCaster Pro on my phone and I didn't get a push notification from your mentions. I don't even know of TCP even supports push yet though...so don't read too much into that.
Yeah just the Twitter app and ubersocial are the apps I've used that support push. Boid doesn't yet.
Hi looking for any suggestions on what to do to fix the facebook app on an LG Viper (I know, not a common phone for these forums, its for my girlfriend). The app opens half the time to a blank white screen. When it does work, it's fine at first but as soon as you start scrolling, photos flicker and the app stops loading pictures. Phone is not rooted.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, cleared the cache, not sure what else to try. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
I suggest you search the web for diffrent versions of the app. (1.0/2...)

Yeah, as silly and as unhelpful as it may sound, just get a third party facebook app. The official one is a pile of crap, no matter what your device.

I usually use "Tinfoil for Facebook", basically just a wrapper around the mobile site. Tried friendcaster but didn't like how it worked. Sorry I can't help more.

If you don't like the facebook app, why won't you try Tweetdeck it's a very good app with the abillity to add a Twitter account too.
It's fast and I use it most of the time. Although I still have the official facebook app on my phone too, but since i have a Samsung Galaxy it's running
smooth.
For those other devices (like my Tab) I use Tweetdeck.
Hope this is usefull for you!
So it seems everyone has this thing that short status's are big font except me, I thought it must be my phone
My misses now has the same phone and has this big status thing and it's bugging the hell out of me I don't. Everyone I've asked has it
Any ideas why mine doesn't?
