Hi All. I'm using the official Facebook app that I downloaded form Marketplace. Up until a week or so ago, it was behaving perfectly.
Now, when I open it up, it doesn't seem to update. If I press 'refresh', I get the spinning cursor for a few seconds but nothing changes. If I then log-out, and then re-enter my password, and then press 'refresh' it updates perfectly.
I've uninstalled it a couple of times, and reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Steve
Your not alone on this, I have two HD2's and on both systems the Facebook app isn't working correctly. The only thing that I've found so far that allows me to update it is, to log out and log back in.
Probably just a small glitch that will get sorted out soon. FB must have changed a way in which the clients interact with it.
Facebook App not working
Cheers - Nice to know (in a way) that I'm not alone!
this is not new, there's a few threads regarding this, but no fix yet! the only way I found to get a smooth way to use facebook is, on the internet sense tab, add the touch.facebook.com url to the links and sign in and save username and password. Now for me I use Energy rom so it has opera as default browser, so once I set it up the first time and save, it works just like the app, once I touch the link it goes in right to my home in facebook, and everything works like its supposed to.
touch.facebook.com...........
easier to view on the device than the full site......
more functional than the app.....
got the same issue here updated to the newest client and bam 3 days later no more updates. so I just use the opera browswer but the downside is that it uses an older fb plugin with cratastic pictures
ok im not just trippin
yeah the facebook app for the hd2 sucks i hate to say it but the facebook for my iphone is the best one

It's only a matter of time before I can no longer resist the urge to purchase an Android tablet, even in their current underwhelming state. The G Tablet is currently at the top of my list for available Android tablets.
One thing that's been bugging me, though, is whether or not there's a solution for multiple users. I see the tablet as just laying around the house so that either my wife or I can just pick it up to check email, facebook, etc. This isn't a problem for our phones, as we each have our own Droids. Having two tablets laying around seems a tad excessive at the moment.
Does anyone know if there are any ROMs/apps/hacks that would let you easily switch from one user's homescreen and accounts to another?
This isn't exactly G Tablet specific, but I didn't know of a better place to post this.
Thanks,
-Stephen
There is a setting for multiple accounts, complete with logins. I haven't tried it yet myself - itsss my PRECIOUSSSS!

liquidcaffeine, thanks for the info. So, the pre-loaded GUI supports multiple logins? That's good news. However, I've heard not so good things about the GUI, but it looked pretty good running Cyanogen on Youtube. I don't suppose the multiple logins would carry over to that.
I have another question for you and precious. If you load another launcher (lets say LauncherPro) over the default home, can it still make use of the multiple logins? Also, does this fix the slowness of the default home or does it need a new ROM for that?
Thanks a lot!

I'm running roebeets TnT Lite mod with ADW.Launcher and I still see the option for what is called "family profiles" with it.
EDIT*** The Settings -> Family FCs whenever I try to add a new member.

That's great news! Do you have any idea yet if the family profiles will switch out accounts for apps that weren't preloaded on the stock tablet (i.e. Gmail, Maps, etc.)?
Be careful, you coming very close to costing me $400 ;-)
Has anyone found out how to actually switch accounts? I'm managed to add accounts by removing the contacts.apk from the update.zip file and reflashing the firmware.
I'm running TNT Lite 4.4.0 using the free version of launcher pro since I could not find ADW launcher.
I'm in the same boat as cerdmier. I could fix TNT 4.40 to allow me to add accounts, but couldn't figure out how to switch. Didn't try the stock ROM long enough to see if it worked there.
Rooted / Gapps - stock 1.2.4349
I have been running alternate ROMs but just updated to stock 4349 to try that for a bit. I rooted it, installed Gapps and the market fix. The family accounts does not FC under this setup.
I have Launcher Pro set as the default for the home button but have an icon for the Tap N Tap home on the screen. This lets me switch between the two. The family accounts doesn't appear to be anything like the multiple logons in Windows. The multiple accounts appear in the Tap N Tap interface only. I now see three to-do lists (Family, name1, name2) and two email accounts that I set up (name1, name2). TapNTap seems adequate for reading GMail and it supports Labels but I don't see any support for archiving or changing labels on messages.
I primarily read gmail via the browser since that supports the new tablet interface, and sometimes use the gmail app. I don't see myself using the Tap N Tap email interface very often as I change labels and archive many messages.
So now that the new Firefox 4 Beta 5 is out, I personally think Firefox is the best Tablet browser available. Its unique approach to tabs works well on a tablet, as does the back button. The earlier versions were super slow, but I think this new one has caught up a lot. I now prefer it greatly to Dolphin HD.
I have installed the following add-ons to maximize my Nook Color internet use:
-Quit Fennec- force closes after last tab closes, a must
-Phony- easy User Agent changer, another must
-readability- fixes messy pages to fit
-Full Screen- Does what it says and makes browsing a joy
What do you all think?
I agree. Seems stable and fast (compared to Dolphin). I also used Sync to import all my passwords and favorites from my desktop.
I'll give it a try, it was even slower and klunkier than Dolphin HD last time I tried it, I use Opera 10 on my NC and it's great. I've tried Mirin too but something about that browser bugs me, can't really put my finger on it.
Can you guys post an apk? I can't get to it from market or Mozilla's website.
Thanks for the tip. Every browser seems to have 1 thing wrong with it so ill definitely give this one a try. I would like opwlera best but i can't get over the terrible way it handles initial zoom.
I agree, I can't find a working link to download the apk. I fennec but it installed an update that didn't work and now I can't install Firefox. Bummer
Would appreciate the apk as well. Thanks
FTP is your friend, as old-school as it is.
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...roid-r7/en-US/fennec-4.0b5-en-US.eabi-arm.apk
Thanks for the link. But everytime I try to install this, it seems to progress, asks about permissions, but at the end, says "program not installed". I've enabled usb debugging, used titanium backup to uninstall the previous left overs of Fennec, and I still get this message. A little stumped.
is this compatible with Android 2.1 with the latest dalingrin OC? I cannot get the apk to install. launched the Package Installer and installation would not get through saying "Application not installed"
Also each time I start the installer, it would warn that the app will replace an existing appl, but i do not currently have a fennec/firefox appl installed. Titanium Backup does not show any fennec/firefox app.
Can someone help please?
thanks
finally able to install by tweaking the the build.prop as suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938114&highlight=firefox
if anyone else was having the same problem. that tweak fixed it for me.
I gave this a try based on this thread. While I do like the UI and it has a snappy response, the app itself is not ready for prime-time. If you try to enter numeric information into a field, it causes the insertion point to jump around. For example, I tried to visit the website for a local library and when it asked me to enter in my library card #, instead of "1234..." it would go "1243...". The insertion of characters as I typed them magically skipped around in the field. This was not isolated to just that website. Happened on a registration form on Adobe's site as well. Very annoying.
Looking forward to future updates.

I personally think Miren browser is the best for the nook. I have it set so that that status bar/tabs stays around all the time, and the floating buttons always hide. The only issue is that it doesn't work well with image links when they are opened in a new tab. In the new tab it will instead go to the link of the picture, not the actual link to the website. I will try this though, I tried the beta a long time ago so it will be nice to see how far they have come.

I have noticed this too. The only (painful) solution I have found is to very slowly type with a pause in-between each letter. Thank goodness it can sync with my desktop Firefox and slurp up all my passwords to avoid this mostly.
OMG SERIOUSLY? I tried Firefox last night for about 20 minutes and it GROUND TO A HALT each time I tried to search or put input in the URL bar. It'd freeze, if I tried to do anything I'd get the FC/Wait dialog, I hit Wait several times.. Finally killed it, tried again... Same thing. Eventually it'd load the page.
If you all think it's great, I wonder wtf is going on with my install. Maybe I need to uninstall it, make sure any old sdcard stuff is cleaned (I had it installed a few betas ago) and try again. Totally unusable for me right now.
I'm hoping the FF Deskop Ad Block Pro extension works with the FF mobile soon. That can make the internet a much more bearable place.
Works for me. But can't t flash to work. Works in dolphin and stock

Yeah, Flash doesn't work so far.
I have two Android devices, both on basically stock roms, and both are having problems getting into Yahoo messenger (the official Yahoo app). I'm able to log in and out on my PC's, but both Android devices get as far as the contact list, and it keeps saying "Loading Online Contacts..." and hangs there... EVERYbody shows up as offline, and when you homescreen out and back again, it often leaves you at the login window.
I've reinstalled and rebooted and whatever... still the same. Two devices.. can't be just me, right?
I am having the exact same problem. Started by saying session timed out around 5 am today
here too.. hope they're just working for a new version.
+1 on the new version, the current one sux bawlz... inly shows account name and not real name like the desktop version... video calls only use the main camera (my damn Galaxy Tab has a front facing but still very useless camera!), and no file sharing.
With all the new Tablets running Android, you think they might see the light...
*knock* Is this thread on-going? I installed 1.0 and 1.1 without any problem but once i installed 1.3+video plugin it shows only offline contacts... Have you experienced this also?
Same for me
front camera dont work in my droid 3! :-(
it seems there's no fix. i really wanted to use video plugin on yahoo messenger and if it works there's a thread here that says "front camera now works... something like that"
Hello,
Is anyone else having issues with Gmail crashing?
I can get it to crash by looking at "all mail" and then scrolling down.
On my galaxy nexus this scrolling goes back to the server and loads more messages. On my prime it just crashes and goes completely black or crashes to the home screen. I have to then force stop Gmail in order to get it to load again.
I'm having the exact same problem with my prime. I'm guessing it had to do with some other app that is running because if i restart my prime, it doesn't happen again for a while. I've searched and haven't found any others having this problem though.
I also experience some "back to homescreen" while messing in Gmail. I just cleared the data/cache to see if it will help.
I am having these troubles, too. Have anybodies problems been solved (perhaps with the new Firmwares that were put out by Asus - I am still on 9.4.2.11 as I am based in Austria) ?
The .15 update has made it so that I do not crash any longer while scrolling.
Although, sometimes when I scroll down it just sits there....loading conversations....
I still experience gmail crash... I run WW .14. I hope .15 will fix it when it will be available.
Mine crashes as well on the lastest OTA firmware. I don't think I even need to scroll to crash to homescreen. I think it does it even when I just click on an email occasionally.
Gmail crashes soooo often for me. It's driving me batty. Any ideas on how to fix it yet?

In the few cases I've seen mentioned, whether that even helps temporarily is debatable. In my case it didn't help at all, so I just set up the "EMail" app to get my GMail instead of the GMail app.
yes i have tried that mltiple times, removed the gmail widget since i saw some mention that it could be causing the problems. no luck. removed other widgets one at a time as well. removing beautiful widgets seems to help with the home screen "crash" I was experiencing a lot, but does nothing to fix gmail
I guess I'll have to set up another email app or use a browser, but damn! neither are great fixes (
I just started using the ASUS Email app. That seems to work fine, including the widgets.
This is BS
Come on, Asus, this is Gmail, not some goofy homegrown app or a game or something. And this has been going on for a while. It is not something that just started. I swear Asus has their priorities up their ass sometimes.
I have the same problem ever since the last OTA update. The gmail app is virtually unusable, also get a similar problem with Maps crashing out when searching for places but I guess that's for a different thread.
Tried many things one of which, removing the Beautiful Widgets home screen weather/clock widget, solved a different problem where all the icons would disappear from the home screens.
It's a real shame 'cos I've had none of the hardware problems other people have had, but the flaky apps/browser/ICS are really making this tablet very difficult to use as an everyday device. Maybe it's time to unlock and try Virtuous ROM.
Maybe it's related to this:
http://www.androidcentral.com/google-acknowledges-gmail-app-may-be-flickering-says-fix-way
Acer Iconia A500 -- received stock ICS update a week ago and since then Gmail app has been playing up like all of you guys -- random crashes, flickering, freezes etc.
Very frustrating because that's the most used app on my tab. Now I have to revert to using native email app which kinda suck.
What can be the reason that when I enter gmail appon my phone, after 8 monts of normal use, it blocks my phone - screen blinks few times and than it turn of after some time !!!
Lack of information .

But this is what is happening, I don't know what to write more. It just shows 8 emails of inbox, I cant scroll, open or do anything with these. Only way to leave Gmail App is to click home button. Sometimes even that is not working. From time to time it looks like it refresh whole screen from left to right with same 8 emails. The phone is top part near camera becoming hotter during this. I am running official 2.3.4 GB.
First check if process Gapps is running or not.. Then..
Try resetting Gmail... Go to settings-> Apps -> all -> Gmail.. then clear cache/clear data... Launch Gmail again...
I've got pretty much the same problem on my S2, though it behaves a little bit different; the left to right refresh/animation is going totally crazy and when I try to leave the application using the home key it almost always opens itself again. Sometimes it doesn't refresh like crazy, instead the Gmail UI is totally unresponsive. I am running a CF-rooted stock 2.3.5 ROM (XWKI8).
EDIT: I've tried resetting Gmail, it didn't make any difference at all..
So, I am not alone. Hope someone will help. Cleared all cache and data settings, all the same. Even was taking battery of the phone for 10 mins - no result.
Is any other Google Apps running ok??. Can you sign onto gtalk properly?
What about YouTube.. Google reader etc... I am asking because.. Some background services need to be running properly for Google apps
Very very strange, my phone has started having this very issue as of today, too.
I've tried deleting the app's data, resets, battery removal, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app (rooted).
I have no idea where to go from here, so I've since frozen the app..
Edit: Might be a known issue now:
http://lifehacker.com/5895595/gmail...oid-for-many-heres-how-to-get-your-email-back
I'm having exactly the same issue. Started yesterday.
Could be related to the fact that the Google search app was updated yesterday? Or the fact that I changed my Google password. Other Google apps fine
having this exact same issue, dont know what happened, been completely fine before yesterday :S
edit: im on a Nexus S but this post came when searching for a solution.
Good to know that I am not the only one having this problem. Let's just hope that Google releases a fix soon!

having the same issue this morning on my Amaze 4g
Same problem here and I have a Galaxy Player 5. At first i thought it was because I flashed a custom rom , but this only started happening recently. Guess I have to use the stock email app in the meantime....bleh...
EDIT: checked out the gmail app from the market. clicked on user reviews and sort by newest. everyone is having this issue.
EDIT 2: the issue has been resolved, for me at least
Solved!!!
