Problem with posting to Facebook - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I have a little weird problem with the Facebook app. WHen I try to share something from an app or post directly from Facebook app, I can't seem to press "post" button at the top of the screen (or the "back" button also at the top). They're there but pressing them does nothing. Just like they're disabled. All I can do is go "back" with back navbar button and then discard the post or save to "drafts".
I tried clearing cache, uninstalling the app and re installing again, logging off and back on, clearing data... nothing works. I received updates of FB app, still the same issue. I can like posts, comment on posts but can't post my own. It works normally from the PC/browser.
Any ideas?
Thanx.

Same problem

Just wondering if there is any solution to this? Had the same issue for a while now. I've installed facebook lite app which has no issues at all.

Try the version 177 and not update

The app is preinstalled on my phone which is galaxy s9 plus. If I disable the app and restart and enable it again it won't let you use the facebook app until it's updated to the latest version.

Same problem for the past 20 days...been submitting to FB

My wife and I have been having the same issue for the past 20 days. Done all the normal troubleshooting...no help. I have submitted to FB for at least the past 15 days. The only responses I get are, "Your feedback will be used to improve Facebook. Thanks for taking the time to make a report."
What's weird is my wife has a co-worker who has an S8+ and has no issues with FB. Maybe a version thing, but with so many of us with the same issue I would think some answer would have come up by now.

Yep, I was already looking at that option. I ended up going back to version 177.0.0.57.105 to be able to have full functionality. It's obvious one of the "fixes" broke something else in the app's functionality. I'll be keeping ver 177 until a new update that actually works is released.

Tried 177 and it works. Can't get into beta, says it is full....

[Q] News and weather app (GenieWidget) stopped working?

Has this app stopped working for anyone else here? I tried force closing, and clearing data. Also tried uninstalling and re installing the .apk.
Every time I try to launch it, I get a message that says "Unfortunately, News and Weather has stopped."
Haven't changed anything on the phone. It was working this morning, but when I tried it this afternoon, kept getting the error.
Thanks!
yeah, i think we are having the same problem here

Likewise here in New Zealand on a Note 3. Fine last night, no good today. Have uninstalled, rebooted, tried several different apks now out there (1.3.11 being the newest) - all the same result. I sincerely hope this is a temporary thing, I depend on that app and really dislike the less flexible and more data-hungry alternatives like NewsHog.
same here
exact same thing here. only "new" thing i could remember was a chrome update last night (could definitely be another thing.. jus sayin). now the news and weather app doesn't work just as you guys described. no amount of data clearing and reinstallation works on my ics. - vancouver

Having same difficulty here with an HTC One, Android version 4.3, HTC Sense 5.0, Software number 3.24.531.3, HTC SDK API level 5.45. Likewise, have tried Force Close, clearing Data, clearing Cache. Seems to work once phone is rebooted; text and the local wx/temp shows up. However, when I click on the Genie widget, I (1) first see a progress bar at the bottom of a plain black field, then (2) get the popup, "Unfortunately, News & Weather has stopped. (OK)."
Agreed, it's an invaluable app which came installed on my One. Please fix if possible. Thanks!

Fixed here also now.
I had no Chrome update yesterday that I recall, and updated nothing today except for reinstalls of this app. If you think Chrome was the issue, maybe try winding its version back in app manager?
But I'm guessing it was unrelated, and therefore hopefully your app will come right also in the near future.

Yes, it's working fine as of this morning's reboot. Temporary glitch, apparently. Maybe related to "Google's server down" issue? Whatever it was...it's good to go now. Thanks!
Mine is working again today... Thanks!

Add widget, crash Google Search?

Anyone else had this?
Today I removed my calendar widget because it seemed to be syncing improperly, and long pressed the screen to re add it. I tapped widgets, then when I tried to scroll to the next page of widgets, Google Search force closed and kicked me back to the home screen. Repeated three times, same result. Uninstalled updates to Google Search, and the problem stopped but also the home screen went back to the default startup arrangement.

Same issue here. I have even just reflashed a stock factory image and it still happens, must be a recent Google Search (launcher) update that is breaking things. Don't seem to be many people reporting this issue though...

Same problem here. But I don't think it was because of adding widget.
I did nothing and it just happened. Both text search and voice search stopped responding.
After rebooting, it worked for a while then it crashed again.
FYI, my problem happened before there's an update yesterday. After updating new version, the problem is still there.
I own both Nexus 4 and 5. The symptom only appeared on Nexus 5.
Okay I'll try upgrading again to see if it still crashes. I have a Titanium Backup of the current setup.
Alright, tried that. Immediately after the upgrade, it once again crashes when I open the widgets menu. However, clearing the cache does indeed fix it. Thank you!
I'm slowly leaning back towards just ditching this to return to Nova Launcher though. The new features I use so rarely anyway.

bad widget, bad!
Encountering this same issue for the last 2 days, although I haven't tried to add a new widget in over a week. Attempted clearning cache, and uninstalling any recent apps - no fix. Multiple restarts - issue persists.
I'm running ART... can anyone else verify that they get this issue whether or not they've changed their runtime?
cheers
Art seems to be the cause here, well definitely was for me.
solution
Simple, but effective.
I continued to have this problem until I turned OFF Google Now, then turned it back ON. From that point on I have had no problems adding widgets or changing wallpaper using either runtime.

This worked perfectly for me; tried clearing apps cache through system settings, didn't work. Went into recovery, cleared cache, solved it. Thanks!
Sorry to bump an old post but I'm having this problem (not running ART), and clearing dalvik + cache didn't fix it for me. Any other things I can do to fix this?

Blu_p0010uu_v19_generic_5.1

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.
Sent from my PURE XL using Tapatalk
Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

That right there is worth it. I'm installing it now.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

Apps Crashing

I have recently purchased a Mi Mix 2s but I have started getting issues with forced closed apps, firstly its Alexa it forces closed almost immediately. Facebook closes if I look on facebook market place.
I think becuase the app is slow to respond its being flagged as crashed, is there a way to increase the time an app stalls before it flagged as crashed?

Take phone force close a few different app. Imagine they will work out the problem if we're sending in the automated bug reports. Sucks because one of them is the app I'm using paying for buses in Sweden [emoji1236] [emoji23]

The app work because you didn't use the mic I think.
I discovered many things:
- if you want to use the alexa assistant with your phone in place of Google Home, if Alexa is not set as default in the parameters (Parameters, Installed applications, "..." top right corner, Manage default apps, Vocal assistant, Use with shortcuts (sorry, i translate FR->ENG, it's maybe different)), the app is crashing every time
- if alexa is set as the default vocal assistant, the app is working, but crash when you start the request with the mic (center button in alexa app).
I think, it's a problem with MIUI, because Alexa work great on my old Nexus 6p on Android 8.1.

Complete Action Using... Facebook Appears TWICE! Why is this happening?

This is really weird and started happening suddenly not long ago.
When I get a notification from the Facebook App and press it, I get the "Complete Action Using..." dialogue, and Facebook appears TWICE as if it's two different Apps.
For the record I've tried selecting either options to test it out, and both just open in the Facebook app, exactly the same.
I looked through my Apps list and Facebook is installed only once.
Since I have a Samsung phone and Facebook is installed as a system app, I wasn't able to uninstall it completely, but I uninstalled all updates, cleared cache and data, then reinstalled.
Nothing helped, I am still getting this dialogue showing Facebook twice.
Of course I can just choose one of the options and press "Always". But I would like to get to the bottom of this...
Anyone have any clues as to why this might be happening?

Nope! As you can see I never got any replies, yours is the first
I just attributed it to Facebooks bad app design. As both options do the same thing I just chose one and pressed "Always" and never looked back.
