For those who give a rat's ass...
After various searches within the GSIII threads, I cannot find a solution to Facebook, (web, not the app), freezing and hanging. No matter what I click on in Facebook Mobile, the browser hangs and I eventually get a message stating that "Internet is not responding", with the "WAIT" or "FORCE CLOSE" option. Now this might just be a Facebook issue with the GSIII because not only do I have a Skyrocket in which this is not an issue, but I did a warranty exchange today at AT&T, (for other reasons not relevant to this post), and I still have the same issue. Mind you, this is only on Facebook as far as I can tell at this point. There may or may not be a fix for this at this time but I would be very curious to know if anyone else is having this issue...
have you tried other browsers?

Yes..First thing I did..Forgot to mention that too.
Even so..This is AT&T's flagship phone..There should be NO issues whatsoever with the browser..
Just sayin'... :cyclops:

Hang often....
Its very slow compared to just going to the full facebook site in the webbrowser, it also seems to not show all posts on my wall as I see more in the full web page.
Friend Me is a dozen times better than this.

Agreed.
So is FriendCaster Tab.
It sucks. Kepted crashing and had such a poor look to it.
FriendCaster kept giving me issues and errors. The website is horrible on the tab. All good reasons to ditch Facebook for me. I might be interested when they release a proper Tab version of it.
I thought it was designed for Honeycomb!! Aghhhh
I'm sort of surprised they put out such a buggy app
Lately this week I am getting a lot of spam email. Emails that say I am a winner, or money has been deposited in my account. I never click on them. Just delete them. But is ths an app causing this? I installed air push detector. Music paradise was pushing some stuff out. I uninstalled it. But still getting these emails. What do I do? Thanks for the help

Am I missing something or.... How is there no good junk mail filter apps? Email is one of the most used things on smartphones, you'd think the play store would be flooded with these apps.

Oh. Well the emails have nothing to do with your phone then. Just mark them.as spam. I get spam everyday

I've got several GMail accounts that I've never used for anything except self-storage, and I get 30-40 spam e-mails in those every day. Google used to have the best spam filter I'd ever seen...now it's the worst. :/ As soon as my Alma mater switched to Google Apps for Education, my incoming spam on that account quadrupled.
Gmail still is the best at filtering spam. You are not seeing 95% of what it filters automatically.
For the ones that get through take 5 minutes to train it. Mark the ones that are spam spam and it will quickly learn to mark those automatically.
Also; watch what you are installing and downloading. Most spam is brought on by installing questionable apps or clicking questionable websites.
I am getting them too. About 1 or 2 a day. Some days I get none. They are coming from hijacked email accounts meaning gmail thinks it's actually coming from an authentic live person trying to send a real email to you and therefore is getting around the spam filter.
I'm stock unrooted. Up until an hour ago Gmail was working fine, now i can't even open it without crashing and flickering. Anyone else having this issue? It seems to be plaguing everyone commenting in the marketplace.

Try clearing data and cache for gmail. I am stock rooted and currently do not have this problem.
i did twice. I restarted twice. That's so weird. If you read the comments on the Gmail app in the marketplace a lot of people are having this issue. The only thing i did differently was download the new angry birds. I don't understand.

I found another forum where people are experiencing the same thing on different phones. It has to be Gmail updating their system. But i find it odd how it only affects certain users. I can't possibly be the only person with this problem who uses a note.

I am having the same problem on my note.
Yay I'm not crazy. Lol. Life hacker has an Article about it. Its apparently a coding bug that was recently updated. The only work around is using the default email app.

Hi guys, I have the same problem with HTC Desire!
http://groups.google.com/a/googlepr...ries/gmail/android/gmail/Cw1AKdxpj7c/overview
Here's a helpful group, apparently google is aware of the issue and trying to fix it. They're asking for you to post your phone model, software, and time the incident occurred.
It just occured to me this morning. Really weird...
I'll sync it up with the email app from now on.
the problem is still not resolved
No issues with any Google apps (gmail, +, maps, nav, etc.) for me on my note...

Same here, new Angry Birds Space is all I've installed and it's glitching like crazy.
Sent from the White Monolith
EDIT: tried uninstalling the game, no help.
Gmail is working fine on both my phones
T989 and i717
i just received an email from my customer, after i sent her an email less than 10 min ago
i've been receiving emails all day at 30 min interval
i do have angry bird space installed on both phones
working for me again after about an 20 hour outage. This bug was really interesting considering it is supposed to be server-side but the client behaving the way it is.
Finally back up for me.

Running ShoStock 2.2, was happening on 2.1 as well.
The facebook app sucks, so I decided to just use the mobile site. However, I get the old site, not the one that looks like the app does. Tried a different browser, same issue. Different user agent, same thing.
Anyone else having this issue?

Same thing.
I don't think it's you. I am on unnamed and this morning I got the same thing. I usually don't use the mobile site, but someone sent me a link in an email.
I agree with the above statements to use Chrome, I just can't yet since I have't made the jump to ICS. comfortable now on GB.
It has nothing to do with ICS its Facebook it self.I got the same thing on my iPhone,iPod HTC(which is on GB). I believe they are trying to get more people to download the application.

That would suck, as the facebook app is awful. If I don't shut it down after using it, it runs the processor non stop, makes the phone hot, and burns the battery down in no time.
My friend with an iphone 4s just tested it and when to the new website.
Yeah it went back to a bare bones text version about 2 weeks ago!?!?!
It used to look like the app on my Galaxy Nexus. It looks crap now.
However, if its FB attempt to force me onto the new app... I won't be going there.
Not impressed with the apps permissions requirements (read and write to SMS folder and also read phonecall history and contact detail)
Will put up with the bare mobile site for the time being.

Haven't tried it on the 4s only on the 3Gs. This isn't the first time they have done it. If they aren't trying to force user to switch to the app they are trying to approve the site.It should be back to normal soon.
Edit: is the login screen the same as it normally? If so it could just be they are trying to improve the new version. My thoughts is because soon everyone is going to be switched to timeline.

touch.facebook.com works.
However on chrome, when scrolling it always flips automattically to top again. Annoying.
touch.facebook.com throws an issue on my phone. It seems this all started happening after last build of 4.0.4 android. ah well...
Have had my GS4 for 2 days and loving it. Today though I was opening a web page (Weather Channel) in the stock browser and the GS4 rebooted. Hoping it was just some glitch. Will be carefully monitoring the situation over the next few days. Searched other sites and found others who complained about this issue but no real consensus as the cause or solution (other than getting a replacement, sometimes the new one had the same issue). Anyone here on VZW had this also?

happen to me once when downloading a bunch of apps from the playstore.. I wouldn't look into too much unless it's constantly rebooting.
Well it just happened again simply viewing / opening the browser. Everything is stock
