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.

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..
Update: TexTab has been released in the market! Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta. Download links:
- Full Version
- Lite Version
TexTab is an SMS app for Android tablets. It allows you to connect your Android 2.1+ tablet to your Android 2.1+ phone over Bluetooth and send/receive SMS messages on your tablet as if you were sending them from your phone.
I've been working on this app for some time now and I feel that it is ready for public beta testing. I encourage everybody to download and install the app on both your phone and tablet, and please provide feedback here.
App Features:
- Honeycomb optimized, though not required
- Push menu button to connect devices via bluetooth, with option to select a device to automatically connect to in settings
- Conversation threads use your Google contact information to display contact info
- Widget with button to enable/disable service, and displays connection information
Known Bugs:
- Messages not saving to outbox on some devices
- Sometimes unable to connect from one device. Seems to fix after turning bluetooth off then on, on OTHER device.
- Delivery reports are not always reliable, when messages are sent or received very quickly
- Visual issues/ghosting when using Swype keyboard in portrait orientation
- Performance issues on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
Future Development/Requested Features:
- New layout for 7" tablets
- Wifi functionality for increased range
- UI improvements
- Option to sync contacts with phone rather than cloud
- Sync sms history with phone
- Option to mute phone notifications
- Mark incoming messages as "read" on phone
- Popup dialog on received message when app is not in foreground
- MMS support
- Ability to use existing SMS app (GoSMS, Handcent, etc) to send/receive messages on ANOTHER phone
- suggestions?
Installation and Use:
Download the attached zip file and extract it somewhere on your computer. Copy the extracted file, TexTab.apk, onto both of your devices. Find the .apk file using File Manager or your favourite file browser and run it on both devices to install. Once installed, you can access it like any other app, and you can long-press on the homescreen to add the widget.
Once in the app, push the menu button to connect to a paired bluetooth device. If your devices are not paired, simply make one of them discoverable using Menu Button > Make Discoverable and then on the other device use Menu Button > Connect a Device > Scan for Devices to pair the two devices and establish a connection.
Once a connection is established, the devices should show their proper views. If not, click the settings button and change the Device Type. Under settings, you can also select the option to automatically connect to a paired device on startup. You can also enable or disable the bluetooth service under settings, or by using the button on the widget.
To send a message, either type a phone number into the Phone Number... field, or tap the Send To... button to choose a contact from the cloud. Type the message in the Enter a Message... field and tap send. Received messages will automatically show up as long as the app is enabled.
I look forward to any feedback/bug reports/praise/insults you may have!
Changelog:
See attached text file
This sounds awesome! Thanks a lot man.
Could you maybe throw up some instructions for everyone...
Edit: works great so far. Looking foward to the updates!
I updated the OP with installation and usage instructions. Let me know if they're not clear!
Cant wait to give this a try! Awesome
Will deffinately try this, sounds like what I've been looking for!
You say Future Development for WiFi, 2 ways I could suggest to have that.
1) If the tab is tethered to the phone for data (this is how I get my WiFi only tab to have data at work)
2) If they are on the same WiFi network, say I'm at home. Phone is connected to home WiFi and tab is connected to home WiFi.
Just some thoughts
*Edit*
Ok, tried it out and thats pretty cool! I like how the message shows up on the phone and the tab. Is there a way to pull down recient conversations (say from the last 24 hours) incase you wanted to continue a previous conversation? Also, if read on the tab or phone, could it show read on the other device?

This is exactly how the wifi support will work. It will still require the connect to device step, but the range will be limited by your wifi network rather than your phones bluetooth signal.

I've toyed with the idea of syncing sms history with a contact, unfortunately though any operations which involve using sms history are unsupported in the Android SDK and could break my app in the future. Marking a message as read is subject to the same problem. I'll look into it some more.
I appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!
I wanna suggest something, look at the app called texter, and the chrome app, then take a look have they work. They work by signing in on your google account on an app on the android phone, and the signing in at the same account on chrome, npw you can sms from chrome throw your phone and recive them, no matter where your phone is, it just need 3g connetion. This is like chrometophone. If you could get it working in this way it would be awsome! And the ofc still the bluetooth or something other when the tab not have internet connection
Loving this app so far, just wanted to report a bug. When a new contact sends a text, it seems to duplicate the view of prior conversations. I have one conversation that's up to three alternate views!
Edit: After a reboot, the duplicates disappeared.

Thanks, added it to the list. As a temporary fix, tapping the settings button and then tapping back will reload the contacts list and they should disappear.
Also I can't seem to delete conversations by long pressing. Is there another way?
I haven't implemented this. I'll consider it a feature suggestion! Are you wanting to delete specific messages within a thread, or whole thread for a contact?
I was actually working on something exactly like this. I did not end up getting much work done though. If you would like any help, just let me know.
Dude, your App is awesome ! ive searched for days for something like this. the only other option is syncsms and that one doesnt support "push", only "all 5 min sync". But your solution via bluetooth is just awesome
ive allready installed it on 5 different transformers for my friends. we are all very happy and would like to donate for your work.
As soon as your App is final, you should totaly put it on market for 1-2$ or more. you will be rich buddy !
Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work. ive allready bookmarked your thread =)
PS: Could you implement the function to mute the notification sound?

I won't name any names, but there is at least one other implementation of this idea. My app goes about it a little bit differently.

Just a contact thread. Specific messages would be a good option if you want this to be a full fledged texting app, but then the deletion wouldn't propogate to the phone without some magic. If this app is intended to be a messenger though, an extension of the phone when the tablet just so happens to be around, I'd like the ability to keep that interface clean and current so its not bogged down with out of date texts.
Edit: Keeping with the 'extension of the phone' idea, you could have an option to clear the text database after a certain amount of time disconnected from a device.
a friend of mine just told me that his phone is acting wierd.
he installed the app and send me 5 texts over his pad and i got them all. but his phone wont show what he wrote and in his phone there are only the sms from me and not his. we both use the lg optimus 2x.
and also his phone send 2 sms to the number "555555555" with text "default body". right after he installed the app and tried to send texts over his pad.
any idea?

I have an idea about what's happening here. As I mentioned in an earlier post, any operations that involve your phones SMS history are unsupported in the Android SDK. It sounds like your particular phone model doesn't access SMS history in the same way as other phones, so the app is unable to save sent messages in your phones SMS history.
The number "5555555555" and "default body" are used when there is a problem saving the data to your phone. The phone was told that a message was sent to that number; but no SMS was actually sent.
I'll try and find a workaround for this phone.
Do other people using this phone model have the same problem? Or any other LG phone?
No one else have that issue.
we both use the same lg and we both use a modaco rom. the only difference is, iam using modaco version ~16 and he version ~19. so the problem should lie in the difference of that roms. he just got furios because he tought the app had send 2 sms to a pricy number...
after reading your explanation we saw that everytime he sends a text to me he got a 55555555 sms with default body, so its realy the fact that his phone cant save the textmessage into the threaded sms history. its send, but not saved. on the other hand it flawlessly work on my phone. i can send a text on my pad and see it almost directly on my phone in the threaded history. funny tho =) now we're gonna flash his phone to another rom.
i'll keep an eye on this thread. it would be realy cool if you would mention it somewhere when u think u found a workarround. we will test it then =)
ah and we found another bug just now. when i want to write a new sms to contactB i have no choice to choose the number to send. so my girlfriend for example have 3 different numbers, and the app want to use the first number of the contact, in this situation its her home number.. no way to send a sms to that one ^^

Thanks for the clarification. It must be an incompatibility with the rom then.
I'll repeat for clarity: when you see a message to the number "5555555555" its simply a problem with the phone not saving the information properly. An SMS has NOT been sent to this number.
Please let me know if flashing a different rom fixes the problem!

Can anyone get this to work? It has some good features, but my serial does nothing when input, it just stays at "sending". It looks like there is security, messaging, contacts, sim security, erase data, and some more, but I cant get past this first screen!

How on earth does a device tracker work without a functional GPS?

Well, since ANY wifi-only device MUST be connected to the Internet for any kind of device tracker system to send/receive the requisite data, perform remote actions, etc., I'd say it could locate itself via wifi. It wouldn't be precise, but then again most devices wouldn't be very precise if they're well inside a building. Good luck trying to manage any wifi-only device that's driving down the road, unless the person in possession of it is kind enough to tether it to the their phone.
Didn't even realize Asus provided such a service.. Logged in, it showed me on the map.. Although, not in my building. Apparently I'm just sitting off in the corner of the parking lot..
But the lock, and ring worked. Of course I don't feel the need to do a remote wipe at this time.
wouldn't work for me, got sending
I have registered and also used my gmail account and neither my registration info or gmail is working.
After selecting the agreement, I keep getting page not found. Tried it on laptop and Prime
Any suggestions
Mine sticks at sending as well...
Interesting thing is that there's an about screen in the help files that's taken from a Dev/Review unit. (Or at least a unit produced way earlier than anyone else's, circa October 2011)

Hey guys,
Pls help!!!
I am using Xperia P and since an Update few days ago whatsapp has been draining my battery heavily!!!
I added a Screenshot! I lost nearly 30% in 3 hrs! Anybody know how to fix this?!
Edit:
I found out: manually killing the whatsapp task and rebooting the phone seems to fix the problem, at least for me and at least for now.

Go to settings, scroll down to accounts, tap on whatsapp. There you can turn off contacts synchronization, which is causing the wakelocks.
It will not interfere with your messages as this only sycs your contacts.
Do check once in a while if it stays of as with me it sometimes turns on automatically

I've had this since updating Whatsapp+ to v3.9D. Going back to 3.85D for now...
The issue is still there with the latest whatsapp update (2.10.768).
Also the workaround doesnt work for me anymore (disabeling the contact sync) even with the sync turned off, whatsapp went syncing overnight with my screen off(?!) It didn't turned sync on, but it went in "full sync" wakelock anyway...
I send an email to the whatsapp developers. I think (and hope) more people did this already, if this issue won't be resolved i will remove whatsapp messenger. This issue is just damn irritating and very bad for battery life (short and long term).

I'm experiencing this as well. I disabled contacts sync but the problem is that it turns itself back on.
Also have to say that i'm on a LG Nexus 4. Maybe i'm wrong, but it looks like LG & Samsung (Nexus models) phones on Android 4.2.2 are the only ones with this issue. In the Whatsapp messenger comments at google play this problem/bug is not mentioned either.
Don't know if you already found this out, but trowing it into the open anyways. Using 4.2.2 for only two weeks now, coming of 2.3.5.
Today i found out that there is another (hidden) "sync" option to be found via the google agenda/calender. Go to settings -> choose your google/gmail account -> Accounts and synchronisation. there is another option listed above the accounts i could't find earlier "Appdata/information aut.." (i think that stands for "Automatically synchronise app data").
Turning this off will mean none of your accounts will sync automatically anymore. I will check if this (temporarly) works overnight and report on that.
I'm thinking charging the device enables the bug. I'm thinking this because i looked at my phone over the rest of the day (wakelock detector) and the issue didn't occur.

Not true. I'm experiencing this issue on my S3 with a TouchWiz 4.1.2 ROM.
I have the same problem now on my HTC One running Android 4.2.2 and the current whatsapp+ version (Base Whatsapp 2.10.750)
Good news from my side.
With the app sync unticked via the google calendar the problem did not occur overnight after charging.
This temp fix looks like it's working for now.

where did you find whatsapp in google calandar? can you explain that a little? thanks
Just follow the steps i explained.
You will see a list of all your accounts. Whatsapp should be in that list. On the top of that list untick the app sync.
Note that my way works on a LG Nexus 4, you use a HTC. This has a layer over android that may have a different way to change settings.
Just look for your "auto sync" settings and put that off in general. This workaround seems to work for me.
EDIT: Unhappy to report that the problem came back right after charging my phone.
Hi,
New here, and only just got my G Watch this morning. I've had a search on the forums here, but don't see the issue I'm experiencing mentioned anywhere.
When trying to set a reminder, the watch picks up all the details correctly, such as the time, date and subject of the reminder. It then goes to the "saving" screen, but after that I get a message coming up that says "Sorry, that didn't work. Try again". I've tried this several times now with the same results.
Anyone else experiencing this, or can anyone here share a solution with me?
Thanks.
I hadn't tried setting a reminder via the watch before. However, I experienced the same thing as you did. I speak the reminder and the time and the watch seems to be setting it properly (ie I get a pop up screen with the correct information). But when the watch actually tries to set the reminder, I get the error "Sorry, that didn't work. Try again" just like you did.
I think it's a Google now issue, as the reminders won't work on my phone(M7) or my tablet (nexus 7 2013) either. It's not down to the watch anyway, as far as I can see. I'll have to go into my Google settings to see what could be causing it.
Sometimes it happens to me also but u haven't observed one thing that is even that shows an error in setting a reminder but ur reminder is already set ,to check this set a reminder for next one minute,just ignore the error message that u receive and u will see ur watch reminding u abt ur set reminder, this always happens to me

No, after receiving the error message the reminder does not still appear for me.
After a bit of playing around, I think the issue is with Google Now rather than the phone, and I have been able to set reminder through both GN on the phone and through the watch. How I solved it:
Make sure the reminder is set for a decent amount of time in the future. After a bit of experimentation, I found that if the reminder is to be set for less than 35minutes from now, it will not work. If you set it for 35minutes or longer, it works fine, no problem.
Bit of a weird cut-off time, as you'd imagine the reminder could be set for a shorter period, but at least it's something.

Interesting. When I tried to set a reminder, it was for the next couple minutes in the future, so I guess that is why it failed. Thanks for the update.
It works for me for a test i just set a reminder for next two minutes and the same error came but after 2 mins i got my reminder
