I installed the Latest facebook Messenger (2.4.3) from the play store and saw that the SMS/MMS features were nowhere to be found. I did some searching and found this here on xda and loaded up the messenger apk. Low and behold, after installing it the SMS/MMS options were available, then Chat heads stopped working completely!
so as anyone else run into this issue? or recommendations for a fix?
I've asked friends with the S3 and Note 2 and they've had no such issues.

Hi,
Im using Maxx and currently is on stock OTA ICS rom 4.0.4
I found that whatever facebook apps i use, the push notification doesnt work.
LIKE,
-it doesnt show me any notifications when i received a message from facebook friends
-the contents in the widgets not update automatically
However the gmail notification works fine
Apps that i have tried:
-Facebook for android
-Friendcaster
-Fast Facebook
Anyone got the same problem? How to solve it? Thanks!
I searched and couldn't find any other discussion of this.
I use QuickPic because it has always been way better than the built-in gallery app, but I noticed that on my DNA I don't get the "messaging" option when I hit the QuickPic share button. I can share via facebook, gmail, and about 6 or 7 others, but not via messaging or mms.
I then tried a few other gallery apps on the play store with the same result -- messaging is not an option when I try to share a pic.
It works fine if I use the built-in Gallery app.
Is there a fix for this or is this a limitation of sense or gb?
Thanks!
I noticed this as well, I'm presuming this is due to Sense as it worked fine on my Galaxy Nexus.
It sucks not being able to send photo's from facebook via text. Anyone found a solution to this problem?
Hi,
I have the needs to have all instant messaging apps disabled at certain times during work.
But I need data for other stuff on the android phone.
I have tried a few android firewall apps and while they all work flawlessly, there is one problem:
NONE of them can stop the (Facebook) Messenger app from receiving messages.
Anyone knows of a solution/workaround?
Howdy!
So - I'm coming from Galaxy Nexus and love this phone. However, I notice that Google Voice (in particular) doesn't seem to notify or sync well. My settings are fine and it works sometimes but more often than not, I'm not getting the notifications for new messages.
Gmail also seems to be affected but less so.
Anyone else having this issue?
I've seen tutorials explaining how to use mobile facebook from a web browser.
I have also seen a hack where a correctly-named dummy app makes facebook think fb messenger is already installed. I'm not sure if this works with later versions of facebook.
What I've done so far is install an old version of facebook from July 2014, then used titaniumbackup to break the market link. So that it does not come up in my update or update all lists in play store.
The problem with what I'm doing now is that the facebook app periodically restores the market link so that I am not able to forget about my facebook workaround and update my other apps normally.
I wonder if there is a better hack for a rooted android galaxy s2 that keeps facebook messages in the app but does not require any further attention.
There were also third party apps that could show the facebook newsfeed and send messages but I no longer see them in the play store. Is there an app that I could sideload that is recommended to replace the facebook app?
Any help is greatly appreciated on this.
I think the easiest is just using an old version. Facebook 1.9.12 never asks for the update. Message away to your heart's content. It's posted on another xda thread
