I'm not sure when this stopped working but it caught my attention a few days ago.. I asked on the G+ community if others were having this issue but have decided to ask here too..
I'm not seeing updates for any of my contacts anymore. Their pictures update regularly but I no longer see any status messages next to their photo in the contact app. Facebook and G+ used to update there and neither are working for me anymore..
Is it like this for everyone? If not and it is working for you could you tell me what rom you're on? Thanks

I see it (I'm using new market).
I'm confused as to why its not integrated into the main app. :/
Silly Facebook, developers... Just fix the notifications/instant updates.
I gotta remind myself to get to a damn blackberry.
So I can only get it from the new market? BRB, installing new market...

Difference between that and chatting from the official Facebook app = ?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing it at all...
Nevermind. I found it on market.android.com and just pushed the installation to my phone that way. Not sure how this is any good at all, though.
I have it difference idk they released for the iPhone as well and you can sent pics so I'm guessing is like a blackberry messenger lol

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....
[edit]Found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210604
I tried this but the notifications arnt working. I've enabled all alerts, light sound vibrate but when I receive a message there's nothing. I have to go to the app to know i got one
Today i'm facing a problem with my Facebook app on my Android device, i can log in, i can see everything on my News Feed, i can see my Friend Requests & Inbox too(and open them), i see the list of my notifications but when i press on a notification, it do nothing.
I am the only one or no?
I'm using AOKP ICS 4.0.3 ROM.
You're not the only one. I was running tFC22v0.1.1 and flashed tFC18v0.1.1 but it didn't help.

Honestly facebook is the worst app for any platform. I am seriously concidering un installing it from every device i own, and just using the browser.
Thank christ! I was about to commit a sin and make a new thread about this!
I was thinking that it was simply my fingers!
This is really annoying.
Is Facebook for Android coded by Facebook or by Google?

As some of you may have realized over the passed few days the latest Facebook update to 1.9.8 is all kinds of jacked up with hard freezing and not getting notifications. Here is the latest that worked before the update.
Download is in the 2nd post

Here it is.
I haven't had issues with the latest update. I get notifications
But the one that I have trouble with is the FB Messenger app.
it just won't notify me when someone messages me.

The update available in the Play Store drastically changes Google Talk. I haven't come around on it yet; feels weird.
How do you like it?

It's better. Just because you can now send pics with the app unlike before with gtalk.

It is absolutely terrible. Not being able to see whose online is a disgusting decision.
Such a POS that I actually had to restore the old Talk back.
is there anyway to get the old Talk back somehow ...my most recent Nandroid doesnt have it and I forgot to back it up with TB

Its tolorable, but can I for gods sake get back the ability to hide my offline contacts and for f***ks sake, the contacts who don't even have a Talk/Hangout/G+ account?
WTF Google? It's just got a huge list of contacts that you cant even contact ?
I miss the status messages.
Cant go invisible
Why are G+ groups mixed in with the contacts? Make it a drop tab or something.
Only thing going for it is the ability to finally send images.

One reason it shows your whole list though is because soon there will be SMS integration, they're preparing for that

I'd prefer if they left it for chat only - if there was an option to hide contacts that are not Google/chat users, I'd be happy with it.

Gtalk is quickly dying, and hangouts is not getting any better. Like a few have said the inability to view your online contacts is a really big deal. I have no clue how my landline non data contacts will ever be able to accept my hangout request, why must I be spamed by people I might make a phone call to once a year, I could care less if they are using hangouts. The people I talk to on gtalk enjoy using gtalk for its cross-platform ability and the nice services provided by google, sure we could use another "Instant Messenger" service like we did before Gtalk, do we really want to? looks like decision day is quickly arriving, google just about 100% killed Gtalk on android 4.3.
I don't know if I should post this here or in the general android forums but what really matters and is really annoying is this bug I am facing on Facebook .. The profile pictures of people, pages and even mine is not showing up but it was there in the past I don't know what is the matter .. I tried everything from re logging to clearing cache and data and even uninstalling but with no luck .. The profile pictures aren't showing on the Facebook app , messenger app , or on the Facebook site on the browser that's why I am saying that is a problem .. because they were showing up in the beginning .. am I the only one who is facing this problem ?? I want any help because this is really frustrating and thanks in advance

This might be due too the heavy development of Facebook Android app. I have signed up as a beta tester and I receive daily updates of the Facebook, hence I know that.
