Facebook Messenger gives me old UI despite having latest update PLEASE HELP ! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, sorry If Ive chosen the wrong subforum for this question, dont know where else to put it.
Figured that you guys might have enough knowledge to help me, altho I think I cant do anything because I tried E V E R Y T H I N G.
So basically my Messenger looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/rqPRy which is like a 1 year old version. And yes I have the latest update and I just cant get the new UI and functions working. It looks like its server-related but why would Facebook not push the button on my account ?
Things I tried so far:
- Reinstalling the app
- Restarting the phone
- Factory reset
- Download the .apk of the latest version and install it manually
- Entered the Messenger beta
- Install it from US VPN
- Clearing all caches and cookies from all devices and log in again
- Log in to different mobile device (for example my friend has new UI on his old S4 and when I logged in with my account, it showed the old one - wtf)
- When I created a new fake facebook account and switched account on my Messenger (it showed new UI) when I switched back to my account, its the old UI again
- I contacted facebook about this, no response. Just some generic automatic response "Thank your for this report we make sure to check bla bla bla"
my phone is Nokia 8 running Android Oreo 8.0 (before 7.1.1 same problem)
Any ideas? I think only Facebook itself can sort this out but its impossible to reach them and have my attention.

Lol. Sometimes these threads get lost if you don't bump them bro. The only thing I can think of for you do to would be to get into recovery and and choose wipe data/factory reset and see if starting over with a fresh start helps. That way you can setup your gmail account through the setup wizard in the very beginning. Hopefully this helps you out.
wow i got a reply,thx so much!
did asinstructed device went on in the state i bought with no initial setup,so doesnt ask me anything and goes straight lockscreen.
went to account and sync , add account no google account i can add, so no market access...wtfh..
so i should go with a custom rom?
if ya which ones most stable fast?
final word: pretty sad to flash rom just to get market access, samsung tablet in asia total fail? no wonder y ipad so popular...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Did you reset user data or do a full recovery from the recovery menu? If you do a full recovery from the menu the unit will start up just like the first time you powered it on. Use the same google account for both devices and any apps that are capable will be synched to both devices.
You might try installing the current release version for 3.1 which is version 1.0.28 I believe. You can get it by going to the android market web site (access this from your tabs browser and not from a pc the pc won't find the app) and searching for android market.
I know some users have reported that the 3.1.5 is working on some tabs I may be wrong but I was under the impression that initially at least this was a phone release and not a tab release.
If you're really struggling you could flash one of the stock roms over at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p7510.htm but make sure you use the right country/Language version.
Brian
should be using android market v1.0.28 for tablets. Version 3.1 is for phones I belive..
thx for reply, obviously tablet bought in CHINA comes with CHINA Firmware with no Google account so no android market possible!!!!!
Flashed ASIA firmware onto it from samfirmware.com and now i got android market
working.........
On China Firmware if u start Android Market it keeps asking u to add a Google Account and then quits application. No where to add Google account. China Firmware
FTL!!!!!!!!!!

Could this have anything to do with it?
If so, I would recommend you install a different country's ROM. Even so, since your government is blocking the Market, you may not be able to get it working

[Q] My S3 freezes when syncing

Hi all, I have a real strange problem I cannot underststand.
Since two or three days, my S3 has been freezing every few minutes.
I restored factory settings and installed latest italian original firmware without root or anything.
I powered it up and, after having logged in to Google during the initial setup, my Phone freezes.
I thought it was a hardware problem, but, after trying and trying, I discovered that if I toggle off Syncing, everything works fine.
Any idea?
I am going to try a custom rom, because I cannot really understand the problem.
My stock is: I9300XXEMA2_I9300ITVEMA1_ITV
TIA

did you try to switch off certain parts that are synced (e.g. contacts, calendar etc.) to isolate the problem?
Yes, it could be caused by Picasa... but not sure at all

well try to deactivate only Picasa and see, maybe it tries to sync all pictures and you got too many to bear?
I tried, no success
Try clearing Google services framework data, and all Google app data, or remove Google account and wipe cache/dalvik then add account again

I've got the exact problem, but since I turned sync off (by the pulling-down menu) my SGS3 has managed to stay on for an hour without freezing. The very minute I turn sync on, it freezes again, and it does'nt matter what I'm doing at that moment, if I'm browsing the internet och just flipping around in the settings or using the Play store.
Samsung says they havn't heard of this before..
Have you tried the custom ROM?
Here is how solved.
I added the google account. I pressed "cancel" while it was syncing.
Then I deactivated Sync with Picasa and Google+ Photo.
Moreover I clicked "Settings -> Apps -> All Apps -> Gallery -> Clear Data".
In my gallery, now, I only see Camera Photos... everything is working fine.
Let me know if it works for you.
P.S. Custom ROMS I tried did not have this problem.

[Q] Whatsapp stuck (again) on Initializing

Hello.
Due to some problems in my Smartphone (Android 4.0.3), I had to uninstall Whatsapp Messenger and reinstall it.
It was working perfectly before I uninstalled it.
But now, there is no way to have it working again. I should say I already have an active account till April 2014. So, I installed it both downloading from the Play Store and downloading from Whatsapp website. The result is the same:
1.- Once re-installed and being sure I have both phone line and wifi network, I start whatsapp.
2.- I accept the terms.
3.- Whatsapp ask me for my phone number. I introduce the same I always have: +34 abc de fx yz and OK
4.- Whatsapp discover the old databases and ask me if I want to recover messages from them. I answer yes, whatsapp tell me that 3.189 msgs are recovered.
5.- Whatsapp ask me for the profile details, photo and name. And the strange things start here:
5a.- It seems not having recognized my phone number, as it ask for my profile, that I feel it had to be known
5b.- In the name field, there is a number too similar to the one I introduced in 3.-, but NOT the same, no country code and the last 2 digits are zeroes: abcdefx00
5c.- By this time, no message, no phone call is received
5d.- No question about verify code is received.
6.- Anyway, I put my name in the profile name field and press NEXT
7.- Whatsapp goes to “Initializing, wait a moment ….” And nothing more…. It stay stuck there…. Non ending. Hours later, the only way to resume my phone is restarting the phone.
I already tried all the suggestions of the different forums: go without recover messages, download 2.8 and then reinstall with the most recent versión, download from market and then reinstall with the most recent from whatsapp website, erase the old databases.... Same result.
I found that last year there were similar problems that seemed to be due to whatsapp servers problems, and week ago also the verification server had also troubles... Could again be this the problem?
I am planning to do a "Factory reset" of my pone (HTC Sensation), but I would like to explore any solution before that one.
Any help, please?
Thanks and kind regards

trouble Andoid 6 Anti-Theft „device protection“

Dear xda community,
BIG ISSUE:
I've resetted my Xperia E5 (should be regardless) running Android 6 (IMPORTANT!)
We talk about Anti-Theft „device protection“ since Android 5....
After reset, when moment came to log into „original google-account“ , Google on E5 says: „please fill in ORIGINAL-Google-ACCOUNT“....but that's what I do! I'm in a loop, can't skip this part!
There is NO password mistake and on a computer I can log into my google-acccount, also seeing in preferences, that I was connected with my Xperia E5!
Same responds of Google on E5: „please fill in ORIGINAL-Google-ACCOUNT“, when I try my 2nd google-acccount.....which is correct of course....and I don't have any furthure google-acccounts!
I already told Google about this problem and they DENY any BUG with Google-Acccount and Android 6 !
It can't be problem of Sony, because I saw in forum https://productforums.google.com/for...google-mail-de
people with exactelly the same problem with different devices!
Google only says: „Send your Xperia E5 back to shop and you'll have to pay for reparation!“
And Sony too!
To be short:
WORKS (like in youtube-clip for bypassing google account: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-y_O_OqbUw ): Sms (receive, send), dial telephone number for call, see all general preferences, see app-list (also deactivate etc.)
DOESN't WORK: insert my owner google-account (then again in loop) , download apps, calculator, browser (not on default phone) and telephone book (NOT proposed in „share“ function like in youtube-clip!)
Can you help me, also explaining, why/what the problem is??
Thanks alot!!
PS: I have seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gene...ocked-t3152721 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/gene...-anti-t3189615
but it doesn't help me
