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
Hello, I am messing about deleting different files from the phone, and replacing them with (in my opinion) better apps, what i want to know is, I current LOVE the 'Go' Products, namely the SMS app and maybe the contacts app, so, which files do I need to delete/backup of the Stock messaging/Stock Contacts? I am using Elelinux newest gingerbread light... and usually uninstall files with titanium backup pro.... so can anyone help?
Be careful what you do cause some files are needed to make other programs to run or you may find you will get force closes on your phone or even semi brick.... This happened to me when I tried to change the look of my stock dialer! I did manage to do it after almost pulling my hair out for half an hour. Just be careful, I would also like to do this with go sms too, post back your results if all goes ok

yeah i be very careful, i back up everything religiously, thats why I ask here, I love my Hero, and dont wanna bugger it up
In the Go SMS app settings it says that it's better to keep the stock mms app. I also think It's better to keep the phone app. But if you use a custom launcher, you can delete the default launcher. Other apps you can delete are for example: Genie widget (news and weather), kickback, talkback, soundback, the music app, Google talk, browser, Twitter, Facebook and Google voice ;-)
Edit: and there's no reason to be afraid of messing up your phone, if you delete something wrong, just reflash your Rom with cache and dalvik wipe ;-)

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?

Have you cleared the cache and data?

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.
I am on CM Super Lite ROM. For the first few weeks the weather data on the lock screen worked perfectly. Then it stopped getting data. It just says "No data - Tap to refresh". When I tap on the icon, it tries to download data but fails and gives the same message.
I tried with automatic location setting and manual location setting and both fails. All other data connections work. So I know that it is not a data connection problem.
Adding to the mystery, I have installed a home screen widget called advanced clock widget. It has a weather feature as well and it also cannot get any data.
I suspect that both software are trying to get their data from the same resource (Yahoo Weather?) and somehow my phone refuses to connect to that resource. How is this possible? Is there anything I can do to investigate this further? I can try a reflash but I am willing to try alternatives first.
My weather widget quit working too. I'm on epinter 10.0
The same problem on HTC HD2 JB 4.1.2.

My wife's HTC HD2 weather widget stopped working too. I think this is becoming a cronic problem. I am surprised that this is not widely discussed.
Same on my Samsung i9001 with EHNDROIX II ROM (CM10.1) - I think that Yahoo Weather is the common denominator here and that problem is there...
has anyone been able to get a fix for this issue. I think it has to do with yahoo weather also as mine stopped working a week ago. Is there any way a person can use a different source to get the weather updated? Like instead of yahoo weather can we use like google weather or something else within our lock screen?
This is a known issue. Apparently Yahoo decided to change their weather API.

There's already a fix for those on CM10.1:

But for those of us on CM10 there is no fix yet (as far as I know).
I don't know when it started, but i can definitely say it was after I unlocked and rooted the phone. I can see the articles just not the pictures in the tiles. They are grey with the article title. In setting, generic icon is shown for the news providers.
I fooled around a little in the system looking at the folder structures and tried to add a newer version of the play store to system/app. Did not work original came back and play store would not start. I reset the to factory and all was good. I later noticed BlinkFeed was not displaying pics. I have reset the phone, changed setting in BlinkFeed and tried fixing permissions. I'm lost, don't know if it was something I did.
Anybody else having similar problems?
Not sure if this applies but I screwed up my Zoe configuration last night when I moved files in an event through ES Explorer instead of through the gallery. I couldn't get things straightened out (tried restarting Zeroedit / Gallery, clearing data caches, cleaning up files in /sdcard/Android for Zoe) and just reinstalled the ROM altogether. Working again like a charm.
I would suggest not messing with any files associated with BlinkFeed through third-party apps. Don't use BlinkFeed myself so cannot say for sure.

My blinkfeed wouldn't work either after root... All you have to do is go to apps clear cache
That and redo setup blinkfeed..all mine did was keep trying to update

If you have a firewall app, such as DroidWall, you need to let HTC Sense and HTC Share through. I had that issue on my Butterfly S until I figured it out.
