So is anyone else experiencing issues with the fb app on their LG V20..?
Mainly my issue is related to stuff like. Images not loading.
Sometimes have to force close it and then open it back up in order for anything to load.
And my personal best, I can't even access the fb app menu screen where you can adjust your notifications and such.
That's all. Juat wondering if I'm alone on this or anyone else notice these things too.

Are you on a beta version of FB? I was having those issues with the beta versions and I couldn't take it anymore and left the beta test group and back to standard versions and it's smooth and no issues
mine works fine no issues at all

Go to play store, go to my apps, there will be 4 options - Subscriptions, Installed, All and Beta
If you're in beta it will be listed there. More than likely you're not since you actually have to request it.

In the Note 4 forums there was a lot of talk about the FB app and many people recommended Metal as a replacement since FB is problematic, requires an additional app for messaging, and a huge battery drain. I don't use FB but my GF loves Metal.
I'm just disappointed that we can't fully yank all traces of FB off of the carrier phones.
Maybe because the FB app isn't really ready for the newest Android version?
it could be the reason.

Been running FB on my Nexus 6p with Android 7 for weeks now......no problems. I'm switching to the V20 tomorrow, I'll see how it performs.

Gonna try out Metal and see how it is. FB is definitely a very power hungry app
Well, I Uninstalled it and installed it like 3 different times and finally it seems to be working better. Oh and now there's an update for the fb app. We'll see what that screws up now or Fixes lol.

I loaded a FaceBook update this morning.
Since then, I can't do anything in the app. I open the newsfeed, and if I try to navigate from there, my app crashes.
Anyone else having the same issues?

It is buggy. tapping Profile crashes for everyone as far as I know. Someone mentioned "Flow" from the market and that works great for me.
Keitht,
Is it working on your Xoom?

Flow? Yes it is working for me. Just installed it last night though so haven't used it much but it hasn't crashed on me yet where FB app crashes all the time. There is a free version you can install from the Market to try yourself. I bought the paid version.
same - crashes out doing stuff
logging in
opening app
random crashes
sometimes i get all the way to reading the profile and it randomly crashes
Yeah you're not alone. The new update crashes out on my phone and Xoom. Really, really bad update.
phone too?
I rarely use facebook - i only tried on the xoom as i noticed an update was out- havent tried accessing on my phone yet.

My advice is don't update on your phone, it's the same problems. Actually, if you still have the old version on your phone, any chance you could let me have the old apk so I can downgrade?
Same issues here. Crashes when I try to go to profiles. All I can do is read the wall and post to my wall.
Is there a way to downgrade?

I've started using TweetDeck last night, you can have different "columns" for Twitter and Facebook and a combined one.
It works pretty well, better than the FB app and I haven't had any FC's.
Found an older Facebook version and its runnuni better.

Keep tapping "Report" on the force close messages. If they get bombarded with crash messages, they will hopefully know there are problems.
The facebook app is shamefully useless on the xoom.

All sorts of crashes on my Xoom since the update.
If you can do without all the bells and whistles of facebook app friendcaster works nicely on the xoom.

Guys, a lot of messages here about "problems on Xoom, Facebook on HC, Xoom this, Xoom that."
The problems aren't to do with Xoom or HC, I am running CM7 (Gingerbread) on my Desire HD and I'm getting the exact same issues since the latest update. This is an app problem, not a Xoom or HC one.
Try this out. Should fix the FC until facebook gets around to it
I guess I could fix the widget too, but its ugly and the next update would just break it anyway.
The new update is shiit. I cant do anything

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.
They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

i had the fb app on my tablet and one day it just disappeared...they took it down.
Use Friend Me
I use Friendcaster. Lots more options and when you say No Notifications..... it stops polling and giving you notifications. I notices a lift in battery when I uninstalled it. Friendcaster just seems nicer and smoother to me.

Now it will no longer install. It will download, but will never proceed to install.

I've had that happen with the market a few times too. I normally just back out and go back in until it finally works.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...
I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.
Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

Mine does that with messages too, and yes, chat is a must. At least chat works on the Facebook app though. That's about the only good thing about it. While we're on the subject of honeycomb apps and notifications not working; how hard is it for Words With Friends to get notifications to work?! Is it really that difficult? I play a word and THEN it tells me it's my turn.
This Facebook app works just fine in Honeycomb.

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.
Has anybody noticed that Friendcaster does not stay as updated as Facebook on a browser? Some post are listed on Friendcaster and others are not. I've also experienced multiple reboots while using Facebook within Chrome.
Thoughts?
Heavy Android User, but have been using our iPad 3 and hate to has this but itching towards getting another. The one I had been using is for the wife and the little one.
I realize it may take time for apps to be fully defaulted for the Nexus 10 and that is why I may just need to be patient.
Thanks.
I believe this is due to permissions that people can set on Facebook that prevent third party apps from seeing their status updates.

A couple months ago I went from a Galaxy to a Nexus 4, this phone is the master race! Everything's been perfect, I have experienced the problems but for me its just fun to flash zips,and try different things to fix bugs, unique features etc. So as the title states, I don't get twitter notifications. I had a problem with receiving push notifications a couple weeks back but I fixed it! I currently get all notifications from instagram, snap chat, path, Facebook, BUT I don't get notifications from twitter like when someone interacts with me,per say a mention or a favorite. Is this a bug in 4.3? Is there a workaround?

Sorry for bumping this, but it has been bugging me for a couple of months now too. Hope someone sees it and perhaps comes up with a solution.
I deleted both my Facebook app and messenger, and I had much better battery life for a few days. Now however, my sot is barely at 2 1/2 hours again, and my top usage is chrome. It's pretty frustrating because I stopped using Facebook altogether, and in still having poor battery. I think chrome is not letting it doze. Any of you guys have had the same issues?

Are you logged into Facebook on chrome and using notifications? What I do is just log into Facebook each time I open chrome and close the page when I leave it through recent apps. If that's not the issue you could try clearing all data for chrome and then clear phone cache.

The phone looks like is entering doze to me. Do you have root? You need to use an app like BetterBatteryStats to properly investigate the cause of your drain.
Looks like you're affected by the mobile active radio bug like I am

My battery is a bit naff too, I deleted Facebook ages ago, had enough of that thing.
This radio bug though. How do you get rid of that mate? Or even known you've got it ?
This is just normal run of the mill days for me.

Yeah I think I'm hit with that bug... I have not found a fix for it, and many articles mention that marshmallow was supposed to fix it... I wonder if a custom rom would fix this... This is the first phone I had that I have yet to root, and that's because I like having the monthly security updates...

yeah from what i've read there is no fix. not sure if even a factory reset would fix it.
Some people recommended downgrading to the 2.15 radio which i did last night so i can't say whether it got much better yet or not.
Also, you can still take the updates while rooted. its very simple to do yourself or there is a tool call flashfire which does it for you now i think
