Mine is doing the same thing right now. It was working fine then nothing. My last update was like 17hrs ago.
same here , has anyone found the solution ?
same here guys! tried to restart the phone still not updating

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
I've been trying to use Google+ hangout video with a few friends. I can't hear them at all. Even worse, the audio on their end, coming from me, sounds like a machine gun.
Anyone else have/had this problem? Is there a known solution?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I also have the same problem. Did you find a solution? From what I have read on the google help pages Nexus and Thunderbolt users have the same problem as well./.
No solution yet. Can't really find anything about this..
Happening to my 2 RAZRs as well. Tested with sprint evo and a t t infuse.... those didn't have the audio issue. Work around is to mute your end..... so you have silent video one way

Glad to see I'm not the only one running into the issue.
I can't get any answers on Google either. This sucks. I think hangout video is pretty sweet. Organizing events would be great if you can see and talk to multiple people at the same time.
Any solutions yet?

I'm on rogers network.
I tried a video chat on Skype and it's okay
The problem seem to be a compatibility between the RAZR and Google hangout.
This is how i fix the problem on my brothers razor . take all you contacts and save them you sd card then to computer. after that delete all of you contacts off phone. After that go to you gmail account and in-port the numbers you saves back your Google account you phone will sync and probem should be fixed will at least it was for me. he was also having problems setting individual ring tones this will fix that problem also.
Seems like the update fixed this on my phone. Works like a charm now.
I cannot get video to work on Skype on my S3. Video is enabled in Skype Settings but still no joy. Has anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it? I can't find any thread about this. This is a deal breaker for me. If Skype doesn't work I will reluctantly return the S3 during my 14-day trial period.
Thanks
Works fine here. Just tested video calling 3G and WiFi with no problems.
Finger trouble or firmware version?
Skype v2.8.0.920
Edit:
The other party (Recipient) must also have video enabled.
You could also lower the video quality and test.

works fine here as well.
Thanks for the replies. Still a mystery. I have the latest firmware and the other party definitely has video enabled. I switched to other devices and it worked fine. The front camera does work but there's no option to select when I make a Skype call (over WiFi). If the other party calls me I can see the options but it still doesn't work and returns to a black screen. Lower-res test done as well but no luck.
I just can't see what's preventing a video call. I can do this quite successfully from my tablet, old phone and desktop but not the S3. I have uninstalled and downloaded the software again but it still doesn't work. Grrrrr!
Try a video call on Gtalk to test. Obviously check video is enabled in its settings for both parties.
If working, try wipe data/cache in settings/applications/downloaded or all/Skype. You well need to setup Skype settings, login etc again.
If still no good, reinstall Skype
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
I did clear the cache. And one other thing: I can't close Skype. I have to use a Force Stop to quit the application. I've tried this several times and it always remains running unlike any other program I close (eg, swiping to the left from the running programs list). It doesn't show up in the task manager as a running program but the icon is still there on the top left of the phone. I wonder if some other process/application is interfering with it.
It's reassuring that Skype is working for others. I'm on O2 - could they have set up something to prevent Skype working? That's not my experience with other phones from O2 and I doubt that is the problem.
So did you try Gtalk (to confirm the problem is just with the Skype app) and also reinstall fresh from Google Play?..........
To exit, just our press the [-> button on the top right hand corner of the main start page

I haven't been able to find anyone to use gTalk with - everyone I seem to know has an iPhone/iPad!
Still no luck with Skype. I'm new to Android so not entirely confident about flashing Rom. I'll try to find out from Skype if there is an S3 issue.
Thanks everyone for suggestions so far

Thanks, I'll check them out.
I've got what seems to be a fairly simple problem with Skype, so I thought I'd post here because Skype users are likely to read it ! :
Outgoing voice-only calls seem to work OK, but when I answer an incoming call, the GS3 screen goes completely black (regardless as to whether the phone was by my face or not).
I tried pressing buttons etc, didn't seem to be able to get it back until the caller hung up.
On a plus note, the call quality was great, but I really do need to be able to hang up the call!
Am I missing something obvious?
According to my tests, Skype video works when I'm connected to WiFi but I was never able to do the same under 3G.
I'm on a high bandwidth connection..but the person on the other side keeps saying that the video quality is ****ty. I have the Video Qualty setting on 'High'. The recieving quality is just great. Its only the video sent from my end. Is it the same for everyone? or just me?

Maybe you're upload speed has something to do with it, also tinge of day and network congestion (mobile towers overloaded).
Check your upload speed with speed test app

Hey all,
I'm having a problem with messaging apps not pulling contact photos and occasionally names tied to phone numbers for threads. I originally had this problem with GOSMS, then after toying with it for a while without any luck, I switched back to Handcent and have the same issue.
All contact photos and names pull to the stock messaging app. Handcent and GO both will pull photos that have been manually set, but not those from Twitter/Facebook/ect. Message threads will also occasionally appear as only the phone number until the phone is restarted. The phone is not rooted and occurs both in Sense and GoLauncher.
Kind of a strange issue. I had my fingers crossed that someone else had a similar issue but I couldn't find a related thread-- please link if I missed it. Thanks.
Here you go. Must be rooted for this app to work

Thank you! Is there a certain reason I've got to do the work around for this phone when it worked on the original EVO 4G?
I believe lots of people have been having problems with other messaging programs. I've had the same issues that you've had.

Facebook and google are pissed at each.other so we suffer. Facebook pulls.data from google but doesn't like to share their data, so google and Facebook started blocking.each other in little ways.
Either way we as consumers suffer

Hi there, proud new owner here, a tiny bit dissapointed with washed out colours /Im coming from an unbeatable amoled screen of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7/ and not being able to sync my Jawbone Up /did anyone manage to find a solution for that?/, but my main problem is facebook messenger crashing. Does that happen to any of you? I¨m C6833 14.2.A.0.290. THANKS!
Oh, I think it actually might be due to a microphone not working properly, I am on UK C6833 with the lates firmware update. Just run the device test and it is showing me that "microphone failed" every time, also attempted some recordings and there's no sound. Does anyone else have a problem with mic? Should I have it replaced?

AFAIK, the device test tests the hardware connection itself as well as drivers etc, so if it's failing I think it's a hardware issue. I'd get it fixed on warranty if I were you. Who's your network?

I'm on Three UK, phone from Ebay...tu du dun duuunnnn...But alas, I've found out now, that it is only the facebook messenger app that messes up the microphone. It goes disconnecte and won't come back up until the reboot only when I attempt a voice recording through facebook messenger. Tried older version of messenger too to no avail. Hmmmm, mindboggling.

Have you tried Skype? I mean, you could try it and see if it works there (do a test call), and if it does, it's clearly something with the messenger app and not the hardware.
And, this thread should be in the Q&A section and not general.

EDIT 2: It's the same thing here. It works fine until i try to record audio, and then it just freezes up and crashes. Contact FB so they can fix it (good luck with that).

Facebook or more Apps problem with bootloader unlocked Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6806)
After factory reset my beloved C6806 (Sony Xperia Z Ultra ) and unlocking the bootloader through the Sony official unlocking procedure, I found my Facebook, Gmail, SMS and more apps started failing to run. Especially Facebook app, it just worked once after fresh installation. After restarting the phone, the Facebook app was no longer work. The screen kept flashing several times and then exited. I was never able to make it work again.
The only way to reviving the Facebook app was through clearing data in the app (Settings>Apps>Facebook>Clear Data). However, It required login to Facebook again then worked until the phone restarting. The same symptom repeats again, again and again. I am so frustrated because the problem of instability then extended to more apps. I had also tried to install Messenger or old version of Facebook App but there was no luck at all to solve the problem. The phone started running unstable.
I originally planned to install a custom ROM and root the phone in order to resolve the problems. In that moment, I had an idea and guessed that the problems might be caused by the bootloader. The I use Flashtool and lock the bootloader.
Wow La .................. All the problems are solved and no more problem existed.
If you have the same problem with Sony smartphone and the phone is bootloader unlocked, please try to relock the bootloader again. It may solve most of your problems.
Additional note: Some people have mentioned the problem of Xperia For Facebook. This is the hint for me to think about the source of problem coming from the bootloader. Sony's default apps have a habit to check the bootloader status of the phone before running like FOTA Update. No more update is avail for those unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphones. So do not use Official ROMs if you want to unlock bootloader. (However, many apps will stop running with custom ROMs like bank apps or Google Pay.) Please install custom ROMs with unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphone. Do not keep using the Official Version ROMs because this will be your beginning of nightmare.

........calm down. You can't base your conclusion on that vague investigation.
Stock rom is so old and abandoned sony haven't added anything new to it like blocking facebook.
Yes some app developers are starting to block access to rooted devices is different ways.
There is no signs that facebook ie microsoft is blocking rooted devices yet.
But recently google is implementing only a simple block so you cant download the app from play store. But you can simply install the apk manually.
You should try something else first. Like flashing a stock rom ftf. Wiping the whole phone after the unlock including internal storage and sdcards. Even if unlocking wipes the phone.
