remove the old one and reinstall from the market.
Will it send you notifications like the IPHONE APP? Thats the one feature I wish it had. Also why still not chat?
I don't chat often but its nice to have an all in one app. Fbchat is okay.

yep, fresh check fresh updater. rebooting after applying update now.
Yeah, it's not a whole lot better. But, it works faster, better and is cleaner and easier to use. Now it uses the touch.facebook.com site, too, which is a slight improvment over the mobile.facebook.com site.
new look of facebook apk
heres the apk
whoever cant get it to download it.
Definitely an improvement, but still missing push updates and clicking on a notification still takes me to Facebook touch on the web instead of keeping me in the app. Still fail.

Is it just me, or is this new Facebook (on EVO running stock Froyo OTA) causing pretty serious wake-lock issues? If I look at battery history in Spare Parts it shows that it has a partial wake-lock for almost the entire time that my phone has been booted, which is causing the phone to sleep very little...draining the battery very fast. I do have the automatic update disabled, but have the widget on a homescreen. Can anyone else corroborate this?

Installed just fine on CM6 for me. It fixes the CM6 native sync issue, so no more hacked Facebook.apk needed! Oh, and it still isn't anywhere near as nice as the iPhone version. All of the notifications open in the browser, and you don't have as many options in the main menu. Even the BlackBerry version is better.
It is nice, I'm happy, the old FB was trash. Still a long way to go to catch the iPhone but its a good start.

For some time now, when I'm viewing the Facebook Touch site in the stock browser, at the bottom of the page is the line
"Download Facebook for your Ruth"
I think it started when I first flashed CyanogenMod, but I can't confirm that.
Googling 'android ruth' turns up rumors of a device named Ruth from Motorola, but I've never seen one, personally.
So, anybody know why Facebook is confused about what device I'm using?
I mean, my user agent specifically says 'Nexus One'
My stock N1 does the same thing! I've never rooted it or flashed another rom or anything, and it still thinks my N1 is a Ruth.

Haven't come across one. there was a decent one out before we've got an official Facebook app, but I haven't seen any updates in awhile. stock one is okay, I use it just to read status updates and update my contacts. I use the touch site to see new notifications and browse through pictures, its way faster at loading pics than stock and notifications are easier to access. Facebook app takes you to Facebook mobile site when you click on any notification, pretty gay. while it is getting better, not as cool as iPhone Facebook app lol.

You guys don't know the secret behind poking, huh? I used to do some facebook hacking before they cracked down on it. The thing is, when you poke someone, you have acess to a temporary page that displays information that would usually be private, including features. It's a stalker feature in fb for sure, but try it out. It's a great thing to do when you don't want to send a friend request but still want to stalk the person..\

oh snap.. really?. that's pretty awesome. lol
and I'm happy to report that... FINALLY!.. I don't have partial wake lock with this update.. jesus, took them long enough.
.1 didn't work for me, even after uninstalling facebook and completely reinstalling. .2 fixed it, but only after a full install again.
This new update broke notifications (takes you to the website, again), which had been fixed in the last update.
How to you completely uninstall the Facebook application. I only have the option to "uninstall updates", I can't uninstall the app (not from the market front, or the Applications -> Manage -> Facebook). I am not rooted and have never seen this before. And yes, I am not trying to remove the Facebook for HTC Sense, I am trying to remove the katana one. 1.3.2 is still in my running services even though I have all notifications turned off and refresh turned off. 1.2 never showed up in the running services location.
ohhhhh the new update broke notifications? so how do i get the new update and which facebook is this, htc sense or regular
So they update the app so the last 6 people with 1.5 can install the app, and it breaks notifications for all of us.

Is anyone still having issues with the awake time bug. 1.3.2 is causing my phone to stay awake
My notifications, even on the last update, have always always always taken me to the website.
I had been running the last version without the partial wake bug (1.2.9? 1.3.0? I forget) and upgraded to this today. Immediately went back to constant partial wake time. I just uninstalled the entire app for now but are you saying that a complete uninstall then reinstall of the new version will get rid of this issue? I don't really care too much because the regular site works just fine. I just figure I will use the application if it's not raping my battery in exchange for saving me 2 seconds of opening a bookmark.

Try to download something else. See what happens. I got thru once but that was it. Also on that link to AndroidForums.com they are complaining as if the market always goes down. This is the first time ever for me. Not sure about you guys. Been with Android since G1.
This might be good news. Maybe Google is prepping the Market with some new features for tomorrows Honeycomb event.

Odd, I just got the phone today, did the OTA and have the new market.
When I first set it up I let it re-install all my apps and blah, and had the old market. I did a factory reset through recovery and did a fresh sign in through the gmail app, which stopped the restore of my app data, I wanted to start fresh. I had the new market after that.
I think those that were having issues, the issues are now gone. I never had any issues though.
Supposedly has to do with google market upgrades coming, but who knows.

I have the same problem on CM7 stable, FB 1.5.3 - the application crashes immediately when clicking on "Profile", "Friends" or "Messages". I had no problems before the Facebook update.
Until the App is updated you could try the Flow-App for Facebook usage.
If you have a theme installed it won't work.... Remember they have to update the themes to accommodate the updated Facebook. It happened to me then I just went over to the stock CM7 theme and did a cache and dalvik cache wipe and reboot. If that doesn't fix it then a fresh install of cm7 or go back to the old Facebook. THIS IS ONLY FOR CM7 USERS WITH TMO THEME ENGINE THEMES INSTALLED.
It is doing the same on my phone. Installed a new CM7 this morning, no theme, and have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. It crashes regardless.
Same problem here, reading the market reviews looks like it's a major problem effecting many phones. Hopefully fb fixes it soon!
I have no idea how they get away with publishing such a bad update!
I'm convinced facebook has no testers lol.
they're just concerned with their iphone facebook!!
All CM7 ROMs appear to be affected:

The update works fine.
It's janky custom roms that are breaking with the update.
Reason number 1,038 why I run a stock rom.
Update broke Facebook for me too, even uninstalled and reinstalled still FC every chance except for first screen (news feed). Luckily I had a nandroid with 1.5.2 on it, which is working just fine for now. Keeping an eye out for a higher version than 1.5.3, judging by the ratings, there seem to be many others with the same problems.
BTW, Cyanogenmod is hardly "janky"... and I'd really love to see that list of reasons lol
Well, this thread is a pretty good example.
They take a working rom, add a bunch of features to it, and accordingly break it because their features don't follow any standardized method of doing things.

That's not quite how Cyanogen works. It's built from Google's open source code, not from the original ROM of the device. Anyway, carriers have a way of breaking working features too. Don't blame it all on the community developers

Facebook won't fix anything as their app isn't broken! It is custom roms that are broken. Ask your rom developer to fix their rom.
So I've searched and everyone seems to say that the OTA updates are stored in the cache folder. I've looked there and don't see it (there's nothing at all in the cache folder).
I've been on Froyo with Syndicate Frozen ROM and am quite happy with things as they are. But my phone decided to automatically download the new update and it's been bugging me about installing it.
I've since blocked the SystemUpdate.apk and it doesn't bother me every 15 minutes like it used to, but when I reboot the phone it still tells me that it's been downloaded and is ready to install.
I don't suppose it's that big of a deal to just disregard the message on the rare occasion of a reboot, but still.. I'd like to delete the file from wherever it's been stored so it never bothers me about it again.
I'm using Adao File Manager if it matters. I'll try root explorer if I have to, but just don't like needlessly installing apps.
Thanks =)

I used Gemini App Manager (it's free in the market). You have to enable USB debugging for a while while you do this. Download it, open it, menu>Expert Mode, scroll down to system update, long press, block app.
You can do something similar with Titanium if you have it, but Gemini is free in the market.
Like I said, it hasn't been bugging me every 15 minutes like it used to, so this is decent solution for the time being, but every time I restart it bugs me about it again. I'd prefer to delete it so I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing okay.
I haven't actually blocked/frozen it yet, it takes me half a second to hit install later but I'm thinking about freezing it. And I get the feeling there may be a gb rom worth flashing in a few days (keeping an eye on you starsky for that theme =P).
EDIT: oh I heard the ota may also be in data/cache
EDIT 2.0: my update is sitting right in /cache
Apparently Adeo doesn't see the update. I installed Root Explorer, found and removed the update. Still pops up on every reboot. Very annoying. =\
I'm tempted to make a nandroid backup and press install just to see what happens.
