have the same problem with galaxy s2..but not with my old galaxy s..
what phone do you have??
i think the reason is fb app is not updated for all devides yet..
That happens on my Nexus 1 as well; if I get a notification or something it will take me to the menu but it won't update.
Try opening the App itself and going to your messages from there.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Same problem for me. The app is very slow in updating. The message does come after a while but it's *after a while*.
I'd give -5 stars for the facebook app. I'm using the latest version on the market.

update you app or reinstall and install it again
just try to reinstall it
When trying to comment on something, the app stays with the image, adding comment and does not add the comment, even after closing the app and opening again i am brought to this screen, usually a reboot fixes it, but i think that should be necessary to in such an app...smh

What Android have you???
PS here are official firmwares >>> http://www.samfirmware.com/fwandroid.htm
I am also getting problem with this application , I thought its my phone problem but now it seems that its an application problem.
I don't get this particular error, however from time to time if I attempt to view a comment with media (video, picture, ect.) I get an error. Can't recall what it says right now, not sure it has happened since I installed NSCollab.
yeah.
1. When viewing albums photos the pictures load backwards.
2. The messenger and messages are pushed correctly/on time.
2 major problems
I've encountered this also in the Web page, I'm not surprised that's in the Facebook app too..

FailedI tried to to retrieve account information

I just got my EVO view a few days ago and every time I try to upload a video I get the above error.
I get the same error when I'm trying to upload a picture too.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Not sure I can be of much help. I have a flyer tethered to my phone and can upload to both of those sites.
For Picasa I’m using PicFolio it has a upload icon just click and select pics.
Edit: I just thought of something … does your View use the same Google e-mail address as those accounts?
It seems like problem that other have had but I can't seem to get any of the fixes to work.

I think it uses your Google account (that you have set up in your View) to log in to Picasa and YouTube
In the You tube app I'm signed in. So that seems like it's in order.

Any suggestion ?
reboot is not the answer!
my phones is only 2 days old and i would seriously hope that rebooting it after only 2 days is the answer to fix my problem.

Yes, I think so.
I just wanna know, Is anyone found this issue like me? Is this software problem? To make sure that my device is fine.
Go into settings, applications, manage applications and find the gallery under all tab and click clear data and clear cache.

[Q] Gallery app very slow - how to unsync picasa/facebook galleries?

So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?
the blank boxes... do they every populate?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.

Question YouTube Vanced Links in Samsung Internet SOLVED

I just received my S23 Ultra today and I'm absolutely loving it. BUT, I'm having one very annoying problem. I've been using YouTube Vanced without problem for many years. So one of the first things I did on my new phone is install Vanced, disable the official YouTube app, and turn on all the "open supported link" options for Vanced. BUT despite this, all youtube links I click on my web browser (I use Samsung Internet) open in the web browser and not in Vanced. I've searched around Reddit and XDA but not found a viable resolution. PLEASE HELP!
UPDATE: revanced exhibits the exact same behavior, still not sure what to try next...
UPDATE 2: Figured out that everything opens correctly, in Vanced or REVANCED, as long as I use CHROME and not SAMSUNG INTERNET. So does anyone know what to do to fix Samsung Internet in particular? Or should I just switch to using chrome as my default browser?
Last Update: @TheMystic correctly diagnosed that a toggle buried in Samsung Internet's settings menu is the missing link needed to make links work with Vanced. See post below for details.
I can't get YouTube vanced to work on s23 Ultra either. It dod for a bit but now it doesn't get a network connection. Have deleted and reinstalled but it doesn't matter.

Check if you see an "Add link" button in the page where there is the open supported links switch.
its not only you, i have A52s but it opens links in browser, copy the link and go to youtube vanced and paste the link on the search bar and the first video is the link.
hello, youtube vanced was slowly dying since support ended, try revanced or newpipe

There is no add links button, only the four default YouTube links types, all of which are enabled.

I can make it open in Vanced, but what I really want is for it to open there by default.

try Youtube Revanced latest version
Just pay 5 euros per month man or atleast use your 4 months free trial as a Samsung user. Youtube is the greatest media/music platform in our age, they deserve the money.

On Samsung phones rooting will void warranty and some features will stop working (although you can probably restore them using some Magisk modules).

I used to love rooting my phones. But years ago alot of the things I used root for either got non-root options or were just no longer needed. Samsung started locking everything down around the same time and I don't think root is even achievable anymore for US variants?

As far as I know, you can't unlock the bootloader on US variants so you can't do root.

OK guys, I think I've decided it's time to move on from Samsung Internet AND Chrome. Just discovered Vivaldi, Vanced Links work and I'm digging it so far. Any other browser recommendations?
