One of the big reasons people bought this phone(well, atleast me) was for Timescape - and my facebook hasn't updated for 22 hours now - LOL

I have seen this happen to several other phones and manufacturers. Maybe this means 2.1 is coming soon! Jk

I use Timescape everyday, its the most useful feature on the phone. Once they sort out the speed lagging issue in 2.1 I will set it as my home screen

Same I use this app everyday seriously is one of the best features of the phone and now its broke !!

My Facebook spline hasn't updated in 2 days either, and doesn't seem to if I click Refresh. Perhaps Facebook changed their API?

Mine did not update for more than 17 hours, and just 30 minutes ago, it starts updating again. It must have been a problem with Facebook itself...

Given up and now using Facebook widget and ditched Timescape til I see on one of the forums that its sorted. Got a twitter app and not worried about calls/sms/pics for time being. Shame, its one of the things I liked about phone altho picture quality on it was pretty rubbish.

Same thing happened to me. I even re-installed the OS through SEUS because I thought that it was me that I messed with something. Now Facebook is not refreshing, telling me that the latest update was from 30 hours ago, and I can't log into twitter because it keeps telling me that either my username or password are wrong... tried them on twitter.com and I have them right... so wtf?

Lol I gave up with timescape a long time ago. It has always been buggy.
My twitter app is perfect for me, tweetcaster. The only real annoyance remaining for me is the lack of a decent facebook app.

I'm hating this SO MUCH. I can login on twitter in Firefox and even the Android Web Browser, but none of the Twitter apps work. Call it Timescape, Twidroid, nothing.
I hate when this happens... this phone is starting to overwhelm me with the god damned bugs.

Yup, mines not refreshed on facebook for a day now. Twitter's fine.. fb changed something??

I just went to the browser and typed www.facebook.com.
It redirected to the touch site which ow and behold is 12 hours behind. My assumption is this be our trouble causer....

I think Timescape gets the update from facebook touch site, cause every time you click on the panel it takes you to the touch site.
If there is a delay with touch site updates, looks like Timescape got affected

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.

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.

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..

Stock messenger issue

Since updating to 2.1 I've had a few issues with the stock messenger.....a few times I've had send failed messages, then the recipient got the same text several times (lol) and lately I haven't been getting any notification of new texts until I actually open the messenger.
Is there something I can do to resolve this???
btw, I've looked for the stock 2.1 messenger apk around here, but I can't find it....can someone please provide me with a link

Are you AT&T? If so, I had the same problem, especially with long text and MMS sending pics. I believe it was a problem within the APN. I don't know exactly how, but now I have 2 APN'S and the problem seems to be solved. I have MEdia Net and MEdia Net MMS, which is the AT&T brand name for their browser/network. I have tested the every APN setting posted in the forums, and they are the only ones that deliver large pics and 4page texts consistantly. If you need the settings, post here.

yeah, I am using AT&T....that is actually part of my issue, and the other part is that the notification doesn't show up sometimes until I actually open the messenger.
I've downloaded handcent, and re-installed conversations.apk (the 2.1 messenger) just in case, and so far so good, but I haven't tried a really long text or large pic yet...I'll do that and see what happens

I found the notification problem was in my task killer. Set messaging to ignore fixed it for me.

We have discussed the task killer apps extensively here. And the consensus seems to be that they actually cause more harm than good.

Agreed if you just installed and use default settings, but if you take the time to hand set it up, it is a really useful app. Especially kill when screen off saves battery and data. I find I still have 30% battery on day 2 without charging. Without it my battery last 1 day max. If task killer effects an app/phone performance, then set it to ignore. No reason not to use it at all. Without it most apps with permissions would run continuously.

My battery is at 62% after more than 48 hours since unplugging it. I am an average user as I browse, text, calls...etc very frequently. I do not use ATK or juice defender anymore as I did not find any difference.

I probably use my phone a lot more than the average person. I run my own business with my phone when I am out of the office, not to mention my new addiction to the xda app.
I check my ATK frequently because every day is a balancing act of battery vs usage. After using my browser for 30 minutes, I can't believe how many of my installed apps are running for no reason...the list is 2 screens long sometimes.
Without ATK I wouldn't have any way to free up my system?? Are you saying apps running in background or when screen off is better than using ATK?? Hard for me to believe, but you haven't mislead me yet, Batman. I'll give it a try and report back.

Even if you see a long list of apps, sometimes it is not the whole app that is running but only part of it for a while to do a certain task. Android then terminates them when they are idle for a period of time. I also have my brightness set on the lowest setting and only switch on WiFi/3G when I use them. You can download toggle widgets (e.g. APNdroid) from the market to make it easier to toggle these settings.
Also, if you have weak 3G coverage in your area, then that also drains the battery as the phone is constantly searching for the 3G network. Therefore, sometimes I switch my network mode to only 2G (or GSM only) networks rather than GSM/WCDMA preferred.
In conclusion, there are many factors that contribute to how fast your battery is drained, and apps running in the background is certainly one of them but, definitely not the only reason.
Let us know how it goes

Back in topic.. did you resolve your messaging problems? If so, what was your solution? I'm interested in hearing if you tried pics or long messages yet too?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
My solution is handcent It's much better for me than the stock app. The stock app is working, though. I tried mms & sms....both are fine. I found the custom vibrate feature in handcent and now I can actually feel it vibrate when I get a text because it stays on for a full second!!!
Did you uninstall stock app? I'm still trying to figure out why I seem to be the only one who has 2 APNs? It reverts back even if I change it, but it works.

I believe you have a plan with At&t, correct me if I am wrong. One of the APN is for the data and the second one is for MMS.
Nope....I just reinstalled the app directly over the old install

How to make Facebook notifications work better

Just tried this it works. Basically log into Facebook on a Blackberry and get push notifications. I know we all hate Facebook works on android but if you want a notification instantly when someone contacts you, try this.

You should change it to "making facebook notifications work" I did that yesterday I though it was interested and for some reason so far is working, even tho i have been getting most of my notifications on my evo 3d already
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

Np man, my friend went to the sprint store to do it in a store demo and it worked lol

I read about this and thought about trying it. It's always annoyed me that I never got any facebook notifications, because I thought I was supposed to...ya know?
...but the more I thought about it the more I realised how irritating it would be to actually get all of my facebook notifications in my notification bar...and how much more annoying it would be to have a notification sound to go with it....and I don't even have a huge friend list...
Even though notifications was a huge problem with fb app, its still not that useful of an app compared to like bb or ios versions. Ive found friendcaster works way better nd always shows notifications and takes u directly to the appropriate place in the app. It does forward u to the touch or mobile site for a few things here nd there but overall way ahead of official app!

I like friendcaster a bit better than the standard app as well. Still, it could be much better.
Haha...this is funny because I posted these exact same findings on another Android site (the "Central" one) last Friday, August 5th and by Sunday the mods had tested it, put up a video, shot it to the front page and made a Sticky of it in the Applications forum. I can tell you that it works. Facebook for Android basically piggy backs on the Blackberry for Android permissions. There's approximately about 95% functionality with this. One of the things that doesn't work correctly for example are Poke notifications. You get the push notification but when you click on that particular one nothing happens. It's a very minor issue in my book.
What is this Facebook?
Don't worry guys, After Nov 5 Facebook is no more.

My recent phone history: BB Curve>BB Tour>HTC Hero>HTC EVO 4G>Samsung Epic>HTC EVO3D
I just checked and I still have the BB permissions on my FB Account Setting and I'm not getting push notifications.
I will try to sign in on a BB when I get access to one because I remember getting push notifications on my Hero when I had it, which was directly after I had the Tour.

Facebook push notifications have stoppped... again!

My Facebook push notifications have stopped coming through. Nothing I do seems to work.
First I cleared the application data – a fix I found on Google (this fixed it last time it happened about 4 months ago).
Then I uninstalled the app, rebooted the phone (stock unrooted Vodafone SGS2, reinstalled but still no joy.
Can anybody please help?
Yep mine stopped too so I have actually turned back on email notifications, now that is reliable ...
I will soon ditch FB anyway so ...
How long ago did it stop? Mine stopped sometime Tuesday night.
Have you tired clearing the application data.

Same problem here, im on XXLPB they have not been working for the last 3 days
Generally it can be solved as-go to your main phone settings, applications, manage applications, facebook, clear data/cache. then open the app and resign in.
Also, in main settings, accounts & sync, is facebook enabled? is background data and auto sync checked?
in all the years ive had android Ive never had them working. I tried the Blackberry workaround last week and I received one notification and then it stopped again.
Back to Friendcaster, buggy but at least notifications work
For some reason facebook messenger has stopped notifying for me too.
Im using friendcaster -- some issue, but overally far more responsive than official app
Funny thing...
You wanna read something funny about this issues??
I own a Samsung Wave, the first one, and the social hub premium on Bada -its OS- does support Facebook with messenger and push!!!
I'm tired of asking Samsung support why the same functionality is not implemented in the social hub for android!!
The Samsung Facebook application for Bada works flawlesly, push, messenger, uploads, everything. Yet, on this device, Samsung's Flagship, social hub sucks big time, it sucks so much that users are left having to install other apps for the same functionality that could be already integrated into Android by Samsung...
Sorry for the OT, just venting a rant because I share the same push problems you do....

Facebook Authentication Fail

After taking the ICS update, I've been having some issues with a "facebook authentication fail" error daily. Has anybody else had this problem? It might be another sign to give up on Facebook...google+ works perfectly.
I'm running Nilsp BGS and I get that error also but only about once a week.

I had that issue too after flashing nils rom but not with anything else before. I was on various ics roms. Thought it was because of the ad block script so reflashed, disabled it and haven't had it since.

This will do it. Funny that it worked fine for ICS for so long until they updated a couple weeks ago. FB needs to hire our devs to make their apps.

FWIW, also encountering on an Arnova 10 G2 tablet. I don't think it's ROM-specific or device specific. It's a problem with the app.
It is certainly and issue with ICS as I have seen on other phone forums that this issue is there...
The last known version of Facebook that works is version 1.8.4 which you can find here on xda... Just search...
The version that sits on the phone after un-installing the updates is 1.8.1

Facebook's app is simply terrible. I bought FriendCaster Pro but even it doesn't display everything in my news feed for some reason.
Lately I've just been using the mobile site. Make a shortcut to it and it "feels" like an app
Actually, its a conflict between the latest official Facebook App and HTCs Sense Facebook App.
Basically, use the old version of Facebook or freeze/remove the Sense FB app. I removed the HTC version and haven't seen any differences in functionality or features.

Thats what I thought too until I removed htc facebook from my ROMs. Now if I install facebook from the market it does the same thing. So I don't think its caused by htc's facebook. I solved it by just not installing facebook but that solution only works for me.
Perhaps its also the HTC FB chat then. I removed both at the same time because I never use chat.
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many people with the same problem. #FacebookSucks
