hi again everyone this time i have a problem which is driving me insane. i cannot upload/post photos to facebook in any way shape or form.
when i try to post a photo to facebook i choose it and hit post and then i get a message telling me it will be uploaded. then there's a progress bar on the cell itself. the progress bar goes along just fine but then when it gets to 100% i get a message saying "facebook upload-cannot upload 1 of 2" then the progress bars appears again and again reaches 100% i get the same error message. bare in mind that i only tried to post 1 photo which is odd. is there any way to fix it?
p.s
a while back this phenomenon happened occasionally but most uploads went just fine, now it happens 100% of the time

the official Facebook app sucks.
There are two solutions:
1. Try another Facebook app e.g friends caster, and your problem will be gone forever.
2. Goto Settings - apps - Facebook - clear data. This is a temporary solution, and the issue will still reappear.
Problem solved

The thing is, the official Facebook app most times makes your think your connection is really bad, until you open your browser, and everything just loads within seconds.

since you,me and most of humanity think the facebook app is ****ty i have already turned to alternatives.
i have tried using friend caster pro for two days and was greatly disappointed when i realized you can't do some things that are a bit more facebookly sophisticated such as uploading a status with a picture or posting a picture alongside a status just post either a status or a photo.
and for as much as i remember it didn't; manage to upload my photos there too.
isn't there any good reliable alternative that matches the facebook app?

The problem is Facebook reduced the capabilities of third party apps.
Iloader uploads picture fine.
Personally, I'm not a Facebook person, so I just use m.Facebook.com on my phone which displays like the app page and loads way faster too.
Try to clear the data of the Facebook app, it should work after then

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.

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.

update you app or reinstall and install it again
just try to reinstall it
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
i always get the problem that my fb pics dont sync with my contacts

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..
So I've had this problem for a very long while, in that I get absolutely no Facebook notifications! Well, save for some random notifications for messages, and often times I don't really have any new messages, or the app isn't able to fetch them from the server. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling the app, clearing its data... this was on Froyo. Installed Gingerbread, installed the Facebook app from the Market, and still no notifications!
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
The app sucks its not the phone

Well I guess it's not the phone but when I first got it, notifications came without any issues. And suddenly they stopped. :/

That's a bug in Facebook apps, sometimes you receive notification and sometimes you don't. Try other Facebook apps like friend-caster- they have an option to post notification to gmail.

Same problem
I had the same problem a while back, after much installing and uninstalling and double checking the notifications from my laptop and phone, I concluded that the problem was really the app, shows how buggy apps can be. I've been getting message notifications from the app (since I was offline in chat) but the messages were never shown under "Messages" nor in "Chat". Notifications on the other hand most of the time work properly. There were some instances on the previous updates that it did update, meaning there was a number there in a red circle, but when I opened my notifications, no actual new updates were there, although it appeared on my browser.

I don't know any Java, so I can only assist, or cheer for whoever starts writing one.
is if there was a facebook app (3rd party alternative) for the galaxy tab?
it seems to be gone from the market.
Friend Me for Facebook is a great app for tablets
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook is also a great app, but it is still Beta and crashes a lot.
Personally I'm FriendCaster Tab for now and it has a lot of nice features
I have no problem just using the full FB website on my Tab.
Same as tried friendcaste and friend me but not complete so just use the web

Great post! Never even thought about using the web. Will try that
No matter what you use, the full site, the mobile site, or the sideloaded phone app...it is near impossible to tag people properly (just one complaint). In the full site you click a pic and it opens in that theater/lightbox popup thingy over the page, and if you click on the pic to tag, the tagging prompt opens but then when you click in it to start typing a name, it just goes away and you have to start again. You can never really get it. And I don't think the app lets you tag at all.
I am still in utter disbelief that there is no official Android tablet Facebook app. I mean, what's the holdup? Isn't this at the top of someone's (Facebook and/or Google/Android) to-do list?? I just don't understand.....it's been months now...

uhh, It should be pointed out that there is no official Facebook app for the iPad either.
I paid for friendcaster and loved it, I even used it on my phone over the official Facebook app but the last update ruined it for me on both devices. The news feed will leave stuff out and now on my tab I can't connect it to my contacts. I also have heywire texting app and it would pull the pictures from the contacts so I could see a pic of the person I am texting instead of just a name. Also when I click a photo someone posted it will load a completely different photo from the album.
I hope it gets work out in a new update, I finally paid for the app and less than a week later the update hit so for now I just go to the site.

How are you able to use chat?

Two ways to do this...
1. With stock browser, everytime you open it you have to change the browser settings to desktop mode. This is handled in other forums and is really a pain in the butt because the settings don't stick.
2. Download for free one of the other browsers from the market, I use dolphin for pad. In the settings you can have it permanently set to desktop mode. This allows for the chat to show up on the website as if you were on a computer.
I personally use the website to check my stuff and use one of two free apps for chatting. Either go chat or the friendcaster chat.

So I used to run the desktop ua mod and I could see the chat in the stock browser. My problem, however, is that after typing I am unable to send the message. Pressing enter just clears out the text and nothing seems to get sent.
Same thing when I try dolphin or opera

It gets really annoying that even when I get a single picture in a text, it plays it like a slideshow. Is there any fix for this, or any other way to disable it?
Aside from getting Handcent or GOSms that is.
Running CM9 btw.
Might want to post in the cm9 thread that you're using. It might be a bug with the rom that the developer could fix.
Nah, it's like that in every rom I've used. It's not a bug, its a "feature" of Android.

Not a feature in any android rom I've used. Never have I gotten a single pic come thru as a slideshow on stock messaging or handcent.
You can long press on the message and press on download attachments. Then you could watch the pictures full sized on the gallery without any forced slideshow. I know it doesnt really fix things, but it's the workaround I use.

Everywhere I've seen, even for other phones as well, single pictures play back as slide shows for people, where you click the picture icon, and a play, next, and previous icon show up at the bottom.

That's strange cuz I click on the pic and it asks which viewer I want to use when opening.
My Facebook won't show any pictures at all. It updates fine and I can see the posts, but the pictures are just grey boxes. Even clicking on the picture doesn't produce results.
I have tried deleting cache, data and I reinstalled the app twice.

Hello It is most likely that it is not the phone's problem, and you need to report your bug to Facebook. To report the bug, open the android Facebook app, then swipe right, and scroll down until you see the "Report a Problem" option. then, select "Photos and Videos" and just describe the problem to them. Just wait for a new update and it might be fixed . While waiting, I'm afraid you would have to use Facebook with your Web Browser for now.
Thank you for consulting the forums, please click that "Thanks" button below this post if I helped you. Have a nice day. :highfive:
