Facebook Android App on the N10 - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't figure out why the Facebook App on the N10 acts differently than on my N7 and N4.
For example I can't access my timeline by clicking on my profile as usual, instead it only shows a protocol of my last actions/activities.
It doesn't seem normal to me, is it a bug on the N10 out is it a crappy feature?

Same issue here. Pictures are missing too.
I've tried to force it to a different layout or size with Paranoid Android, but no joy

Try Friendcaster instead?

Friendcaster FTW :good:. It works perfectly, loads fast, runs great, and looks beautiful on the Nexus 10. I enjoyed it so much more over the official Facebook app that I decided to buy the ad free version .

Never even installed it, just got used to using the web version on my X2 cause the app sucks

What is facebook? Isn't every one on G+? Buahaha!!!!

I reported it two days ago. Been fixed today...

Problem with Friendcaster and other third party apps is that if any of your friends have set their privacy settings to not allow use of their timeline by third party apps, you won't see their posts.
Updated Facebook app today is way faster sometimes, but I'm also getting long hangs I never got before when tapping on notifications.
I generally on the N10 just look at FB in Chrome. Wish they'd get a tablet app out!

The latest update 121312 is really good... best version of FB app ever for Android.

Am I also supposed to get huge images in the timeline???

[Q] Updating Facebook app that came with the ASUS Transformer

I have an ASUS Transformer that shipped with Android 3.0, one of my Bosses has just had an Android 3.1 Transformer arrive.
3.0 Provided Facebook and Twitter apps and widgets
3.1 does not
Has anyone else with a 3.0 version tablet(updated via OTA or flashing to 3.1) had problems getting the facebook app to update?
Should I uninstall the app and try to get it from the Market?

the facebook app was updated and the transformer was added to incompatible for the facebook app.
That sucks. You can use Launcher Pro with their sweet widgets.
As big as Facebook is, I'm sure it will get updated quickly. They've been updating it pretty frequently.
That or some awesome dev here will get it working. Maybe just something with the build.prop.
Well that answers it then.
Damn you Facebook, roll on Google+
My transformer shipped without Facebook so I went ahead and download Friend Me which is actually better in my opinion.
I had to download the APK from the forums since the market was stating incompatibility with the tablet however it works fine.
Why a facebook app?
Facebook in the browser works flawlessly! Add in the keyboard dock and you are no different than using it as if it was a windows PC.

FriendMe works even more flawlessly. Give it a try.
Only annoyance with Facebook in browser is that the full site goes back to the mobile website after pressing the top left "Facebook"
FRIEND ME isn't perfect but very nice and intuitive...

Weird. I haven't had that issue. Is your user agent set permanently? I use the
stock browser.
Friendme looks nice, but I don't like third party programs taking my facebook info and to my knoweldge, Friendme doesn't have chat?

It's set to Android. It'd probably fix it as setting it to Desktop but I prefer having it set to Android. Just tried it, top left is now fixed. Now when I hit Home it goes to the mobile page of Facebook.

facebook showed up on the market

Not tab optimized
Er, I hate Facebook. But, can't you just use the browser for it?
Friendcaster works great on the tab!

I have it, I paid for it because it work great but then it was updated and tab optimized and the issues began. Some stuff will not show up on status updates, I can no longer sync to my contacts, which was great because my texting app (heywire) would show a picture of the person I'm texting with. Also if I click a photo someone posted it shows a completely different photo.
All that also happens on my cell phone along with the tab. I check it in the web browser now but sometimes the app was just faster and more easy to used.
Even though it's not optimized, I'm glad they finally updated it to include support for tablets. I was using the Samsung Social Hub before and just installed Overcome's ROM so I can get rid of the Hub now.
I tried FriendMe, Friend Caster, and just found Facebook (official?) apps. I still prefer to use the browser...
Facebook app keeps force closing. Can't check friend list. And it seems slow to load anything. For me the web-based UI is what I am familiar with and the one I seem to keep going back to.

Facebook app

When I try to upload pictures on my FB via the application, it reaches 100% and then I get an error that the transfer failed. If I do it on the browser it works.
What seems to be the problem? I am on HC 3.2 and my Xoom is unrooted.
Works fine here. Try signing out, clearing data, signing in, and trying again.
No, it didn't work.
I can't see my albums either.

TBH, that app is flaky as h*ll, adn gives nothing but problems. I use the mobile browser for most facebooking. It's far superior. However, that doesn't answer your question...
I seem to remember the latest version of that app fixing that issue. Are you on the latest by chance?
Yes I am. I even removed and installed the app again.
No answer here?
The best thing to do for your Facebook needs is to download a third party app or possibly search Google for the .apk of an older version and sideload it. A lot of people have been complaining about the latest update in the comments on the Market page for the Facebook app.
[BEGIN RANT]
I do wish they'd release a proper tablet version of their app already. The current app looks alright even if it's stretched but a dedicated tablet version would do way more justice. Then again, the Facebook people dragged their feet developing an Android app before they finally released their own so them dragging their feet here doesn't surprise me.
They drag their feet with the Facebook Android app while constantly screwing around with the layout of the site confusing users who are already still coming to grips with the last layout change. That and just their way of doing things in general would have had me delete my account long ago if it weren't for that site being my only means of contacting certain people.

Next Browser?

Has anybody been using this browser on Nexus 4? I started and I really like it; less hangups than chrome, better interface (I like the disappearing url bar) than dolphin imo.
However, I noticed that it seems to be giving a wakelock any time a page has been opened, but the window has not been cleared from the recent apps list (this is all according to BBS).
I was just wondering if other N4 users had experienced this or used this app, and what your opinion on it was. Also, is there a different browser for the N4 you guys would recommend?

Go launcher team...

I`m a next browser user. Realy like it, fast and easy to use. And when i browse the web i get a popup message to use tapatalk if the web site support it. I know chrome also got this, but i find it not to work so well.
Yes, i have noticed that it got some wake locks. But not for long, its also possible to exit the app easy from setting menu

I had been using Next for a while now. But a couple days ago I replaced it with Firefox because Next had trouble downloading some files from Drive. If there was other aberrant behavior it wasn't noticable to me in use.
I use Chrome, but you can try Firefox or Opera. Every browser has its own advantages and disadvantages.

[Q] "No Client" notification popup! What is it?

Hi,
I'm running stock 4.3 on my Nexus 4 (unrooted). Recently I've been getting this "No Client" notification popup at the bottom of my screen, it's independent of the app or window I'm on. It's driving me mad, I really don't know what it is.
Can anyone help?
Anybody with any clues? Ideas about suspect Apps or settings?
its one of your apps, 100%.
How do I find out which app?
you can uninstall your apps, then install them one by one until you find the guilty app. or you can go through all your apps settings until you find it.

I'm thinking I should look for an app running in the background? Or can the popup/alert show up from any app? Oh boy, I have a lot of apps, it's gonna take a while!
This is driving me nuts..ive uninstalled/reinstalled most of my apps..and i still get this nagging popup!!
Do you use "Android Widget Pro" ?
Happens on my stock Nexus 5 as well.
Happening on my stock Nexus 7 2013 more and more frequently. Hopefully someone can identify the guilt app so I don't have to rebuild.
And no I don't use Android Widget Pro.
This has been bothering me for months. It has to be an app but I have no idea which one. I have over 200 apps installed so although the uninstall/reinstall idea would be effective, it is not practical for me. If the message was consistent maybe, but its not. Anyone with less apps installed want to try?
Same for me on my Nexus 4. Getting insane!!!

how about a screen shot of what you are seeing? I'm not getting the popup on my N4 or N7.

forget it, i've got more apps than i thought....
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CM. Installing my apps day by day and the stupid toast started appearing last night. I'll try to narrow down the app based on the time of install.
Right now I'm suspecting Pocket Casts.

Got the issue on my 2013 Nexus 7, unrooted. I'm not using Pocket Casts, using BeyondPod as a podcast client.
How about greader pro? I've been reading on another thread that turning location options off then on again in Google Settings sorts the problem.

No not using that app either. Mine is becoming more frequent, its annoying but not annoying enough to do a factory wipe. Hopefully someone will narrow down the issue to an app or setting soon!
