This seems to be a bit of a drawback with Android apps - they don't work aswell as ipad apps. There seems to be a lot of trial and error, whereas from what I've heard and seen (on my iphone), the Apple apps just work.
I still can't get past the lack of Flash on the ipad though, so I'll have to forgive Android's shortcomings...

I got the same problem a week ago.
then i updated my android version from 3.2 to 3.2.1 and the Facebook App stopped to work at all.
it only opens, but no info shows up.
I'm using tweetdeck right now

100% of the time same problem here. I don't think wasting your time with a factory reset will do anything...

facebook app force closes

I updated the app a couple nights ago and now it wont open and load anything, it hangs and then force closes everytime. I've uninstallled and reinstalled and it will allow me to login and it will work fine right up until I close the app and reopen it.
Any thoughts?
Had the same problem. I ended up reverting to the previous version with a backup.
Crashes for me too. I also went to a backup. Not sure what is that last version to work. My backup was from a month ago.
Mine too on CM7 Nightly 177 booting off an SD card. Hopefully they can get it fixed.
Have you fixed permissions? It runs fine for me,not a fan of it but it works.

Seems like the app is crashing when it tries to find your location using the (non-existant) GPS. Is there some way to inject a fake GPS position?
Install tetherGPS lite and start the client, it spoofs the app into thinking there is a GPS signal. Recent check ins load fine with this fix.

Are we sure it's not the app its self? the reason I ask is there are a lot of reviews of it not running for many.

I couldn't get it to work but I've switched to friend caster pro anyway. Way better IMO.

Friend caster is more tab optimized than the normal app but still not a real tab app.

Why would you post this?
As of nightly 212, there is no built-in ability to fake GPS. This was never any mention of that ability on any changelog, and it certainly wasn't sneaked in or anything.
Facebook still attempts to access GPS and force-closes as of nightly 212 / October 6th (I'm guessing it is an incorrect or simply unhandled exception. Facebook for both Android and iOS are famous for having terrible programmers).
A fake GPS program is still required to use Facebook.
The Facebook app goes from bad to worse. Uninstalled.
Is there any other fix that doesn't require me to start the gps client every time before wanting to use facebook? What is the latest version of facebook I can get that will function fine without a silly work around? 1.6.?

Facebook app now tablet friendly

I didn't see a thread on this but last night I noticed I was able to download the Facebook app to my 10.1 and it works fine, albeit it looks simply like a very stretched version of the phone application. It does work, though, and fairly well at that.
yup. Works fine!
I installed it and it worked for a bit but now its useless
It's still garbage... I've sideloaded a few older versions plus the latest version from the market and its still just basic at best.
Still haven't fixed the FC everytime you try to go to your friends list.

Friendcaster works better now since they got rid of the Tab beta version but they've basically reverted to an over-sized phone UI instead of the immensely superior split-screen set-up the beta had.
I'm hoping the next update to the proper version will re-introduce the better Tab-oriented UI.

I'm on the latest non-tab-specific version, and it looks identical to the tab beta....

If you don't mind me asking, what version are you running?
I've got 3.20.2 and even with the 'enlarged UI mode' checked in the settings, it just makes it look like the phone version but bigger.

Agreed. I have the newest friendcaster app direct from the market (not the tab beta version) and it auto detected mine was a tab on install and installed the tab version. It looks like my version is 3.20.2
Uploaded to dropbox for you although you should be able to get from market.

Yep, 3.20.2 here also. Works well.

Huh, weird.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now I see the proper UI...
The only thing bugging me about the new Friendcaster is the ad at the bottom. Actually, there is never an ad there, it just says "Click here to disable ads for thirty days!" It takes me to a broken link. I would love to share Fridnscaster to get rid of this ad, but I guess we have to live with it for now.
(That link worked in the Tab beta version.)

Use an ad blocker app like "AdFree" (only if you're rooted though)

Happened to me more than twice.
so far, that problem didnt appear to me..
This happens to me on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Sony Tablet S. I think its just Honeycomb.

Gmail has gone nucking futs

Ok, so, play store updated itself to 3.5.x and now gmail has went nuts.
Looks like it is constantly trying to open more instances of itself. Screen is going crazy and I cant select anything, I have to kill the app with back button.
Anyone know why? Or better yet anyone have an old version I can try?

for me, everytime i reboot, gmail will popup the notification. eventhou im not in wifi or data..but atleast, my gmail app is not having a lot prob like you..im using latest update v02 cm9..if you notice, in google play store, gmail is not compatible whatever density you have..i think the problem comes with gmail in latest gapps in cm9 thread..

Which play store update are you talking about? The one from about a week ago? If so, gmail is working just fine for me.

i think its not about google play store, because im using the same vending.apk in minicm7, gmail dont have any problem..now im using cm9, and flashed gapps-20120304, and gmail having those problems. if jimcantfixit flashed the same gapps, then surely we know that, gmail inside the gapps got problem..
PS: im not flamming or blame someone, just my curiousity, i hope no one mistaken it, if im wrong, pls correct me
Thanks guys but im on MiniCM7 2.1.8 with nAa kernel 11. This started happening when I noticed my update was coming through (just today).
Tried uninstall, reinstall. Tried clear cache/data in app. Nothing working. Looking for an old gmail apk on google.
Hopefully I will overcome this absolute madness. Its actually quite funny watching gmail go into overdrive, kinda what I expect people were thinking would happen with y2k bug.

I think that I might have solved your problem... Check to make sure that you didn't transpose the first letter of the first word in the code with the first letter in the second word of code :sly:

... Purposely yes. As not to be so offensive in a matter of manners.
Pretty disappointed about this gmail error. Maybe 6000+ unread messages sent it into overdrive?

[Help] Chrome does not delete history

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.
Web history and predictive search are both turned off.
Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

Root your devices then download system app remover and then remove chrome and download dolphin browser

Force stop your Chrome in setting, and you can find a clear data button in that page.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

Clearly something is wrong.

Thank you. I'm using my local account, so no web history is in play. The problem seems to be rare, I have been googling for a few weeks now but I have yet to come accross a similiar problem (on android that is).

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?
i would recommend re-installing from the play store as well.
I have tried that, no luck though. I'll try and report it as a bug to Google, might get a response from them aswell.
