Facebook not showing pictures - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

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.

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..

uploading photos to facebook

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

Pictures in Gallery

Does anyone know how to limit the pictures that are showing up in the gallery? I apparently had, at some time, used Picasso and those pictures are showing. I do not have Picasso on my phone nor am I syncing it. But the darn thing still shows up. I've even went so far as to reset my phone. I've also gone through every folder on the phone I can think of that they would be stored. No luck...
I've attached a picture of what I'm talking about.

You have google+ installed? I think that syncs picassa
After unchecking Picasso sync under your Google account, clear data for the gallery app. If that doesn't work maybe its download manager or something.

I had this same problem. What you have to do, is go to system settings>accounts & sync, then to whatever account you have picassa synced on (if you have more than one google account on your phone), then uncheck the sync picassa web albums settings. But there's one more step because those pictures will still be there. Next you go to app settings>gallery>clear data....and wala magic!!! No more annoying picassa pics that u cant delete!! No need to restart or anything, at least I didnt need to. Hope that helps.
Thank you to everyone. The step I needed to do was clear the data in the gallery app.
Mods, please close the thread.

The 2 major complaints I have. Maybe custom rom/mod?

I never loved Sense but I have learned to like it but I have 2 issues:
The main issue is the HTC gallery. I think is junk compared to stock. I have a lot of galleries on Picasa and Drop box. All of my Motorola and Samsung phones that have the stock gallery must store the thumbnails locally where as HTC download them each time. It takes forever to find a picture I am looking for. Also you have no ability to text or email a picture from one of those sources. It only sends a link that does not work unless I give my login and password. I have instead try to open it myself from the browser and then download it and send.
The 2nd is the htc text message app. Every software revision I have tried does it. 1, On the text notification from the lock screen, if someone texts you as part of a group message and you drag it down to directly go to it, it brings you to the single thread you have with that contact, not the recent message. The 2nd issue is many times I open I thread, it starts at the top of the thread. This could be months or weeks back and that scroll bar is a pain in the ass to grab to keep pulling it to the bottom.
Please let me know if anyone knows of a ROM or Mod I can try to fix this. Every Senseless ROM I have tried still maintains the HTC messenger and gallery.
Thanks,
Dave
I know on sense 5 the messaging problems are fixed, but not the gallery issues you listed.

You can install a different gallary, like the stock(4.2) one.

It might be a good thing that the DNA gallery has to download the pics from cloud services each time. I have a Note 2 and it caches Facebook and Dropbox photos and it was filling up my phone memory (you can't switch it to SD card) and the gallery was STILL super slow.
With only 11 gigs of usable space on the DNA, we don't really want it caching all of those photos.

[Q] Chrome (couldn't sign in & text flow issue)

I have Chrome sync running. Shows it is syncing fine under the accounts area and all bookmarks, etc. sync. A couple of times since last night when I open Chrome I get a couldn't sign in prompt. Clicking next does nothing. Running stock rooted mk2. If I close Chrome and reopen all is fine. I can also go into the accounts/sync area and tell it to sync and it works.
Also getting distorted text on xda (but nowhere else yet at least). Screenshot attached. Any thoughts?

Are you using chrome beta? Cuz my beta does the same text distortion and I have to go into landscape mode for it to clear up and be readable. It's very annoying. I haven't tried going back to just the regular chrome version to test it...

Regular Chrome, not beta. I think they might have just pushed an update in the past day or so. maybe that is the culprit. So landscape and back fixes it then?

Yea maybe.. It usually fixes it for me but not every single time.

So no "Couldn't sign in" issues for anyone else though. Been like 4 times today. Only happens when I open chrome, but if i hit back it just works and bookmarks and such seem to be syncing. Maybe a google now issue?
So are we really the only ones with the Chrome text flow issue?

You aren't alone on the sign in issue. It happens rarely, but it's started doing it the last two days or so. When I click next it says something about an error and not being able to sign in or something.
