As I couldn't find official Facebook App in the market I managed to get this from the internet:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R0DQC0HV
It works, but its a bit ugly in my opinion
just use m.facebook.com in a normal browser, does the same as the apps but no memory usage
that's what i'm doing until an app comes about with facebook chat support
it's because of the compatibility problem with the screen res. It doesnt look like that on other devices. Lets hope for facebook to get an upgrade sorted that fixes this. That why you cant see it in the market by the way.
try touch.facebook.com
its a nicer version of m.facebook.com for touch phones
Hey guys, over the past week and a bit I've been getting these advertising notifications in my notification area.
So far they have been trying to get me to download some games, and im assuming that the notifications are being cause by a game/app i have installed.
It can be pretty tricky to keep track of all the updates i do, and i dont always read the change logs for stuff like this.
So i was hoping that someone would recognise these notifications, and hopefully tell me what game/app they are caused by - so i can uninstall it.
Screen shots attached.
Thanks a lot for any help.
down load air push app from market.
it will tell you what app is causing the notification,then delete it
You can install "Addons Detector" or "AirPush Detector" from the market, they will tell you which application have those notification.
[EDIT: I was writing when thorur published the answer. No intention to steal a good answer ]
These notifications are usually caused by dodgy wallpaper apps or games.
You can download Addons Detector (Market Link) or AirPush Detector (Market Link) to find the source app.
great! thanks a lot for the tips guys, ill check out those apps and try to monitor what is causing the notifications.
Ill let you know how i go.
thanks again.
This happened to me once. It was from an app I downloaded from the Market. I found out it was pushing ads to my notification bar by reading the reviews later on. I removed the app but the notifications kept coming.
I was lucky that I was just about to flash another ROM at the time so doing a full wipe helped solve the problem I guess.
ddoublee,
that's not very encouraging. I uninstalled the app i though was responsible - Sketch Me Pro - But i am stilling getting the advertisements.
So now i need to try to figure out if it is another app causing them - or something else.
probably more trouble than its worth.
cheers.
-------EDIT-----
I have just noticed that all the ads are for games from the same developer - and i have one of these games installed.
RAIDEN-Sky Force Ace is the game i have installed. Hopefully removing it will remove the ads.
Note - the addons (as detected by Addons Detector) for this game are Fortumo and PayPal - listed as developer tools.
So i removed the game, and a lingering notification disapeared immediately.
thanks for your help guys.
Can anyone identify permissions the app would required for sending notifications to the notification bar like this? something to look out for in the future.
cheers.
i would use a custom rom that supports pdroid to get rid of this notifications without deleting games. Also use Droidwall to prevent some games or apps to get access to internet!
Is your phone rooted?
Do you have ClockWorkMod?
A quick solution would be to back up all your contacts and apps and clear the cache/factory reset through ClockWorkMod restore everything and see if you still get the ads pushed.

bro, aku rase tak related.. tue airpush tue..
Recently updated to Ineffabilis Deus and have some annoying bugs with the different reddit apps I've tried. Not sure if this is an ICS problem or an Ineffabilis problem.
50% of imgur links display for a split second and then go to blank screen. If I zoom in, the picture comes back.
All youtube links open in Chrome rather than the youtube app. I tried clearing defaults for Chrome. I also tried the "App associations" menu in settings, but I don't see the youtube app as an option for anything in there. I also used to have (on Gingerbread) an option to send youtube links to xbmc, via xbmc remote app, but that's gone too.
Anyone know if this is an ICS thing or an issue with the ROM? I don't think it's a problem with the apps, since the same thing happens on both reddit apps I've tried and I don't see anyone complaining about it in the comments for those apps.
Any other redditors on ICS had problems (or solutions)?
On ICS with exact same ROM and issues using baconreader here.
Will troubleshoot.
Mine shows some, while others do as you explained. I am stock rooted 3.14.

Youtube links won't play in YouTube on Ics or sense 3.6 I don't know which controls what. Something to do with an Apple patent lawsuit if I'm not mistaken
To allow yourself to be able to select apps to launch instead of launching chrome or the default browser automatically, you must uninstall "htclinkifydispatcher" using titanium backup or something similar. This stops the phone from automatically choosing default apps and will let you choose from whatever browsers you have installed (or youtube, if you are trying to watch a video) instead. So far the only issue I've found with eliminating this app is that whenever I try to launch a link sent to me in gtalk, gtalk force closes. Otherwise I am given the freedom of choice of which app to launch when browsing reddit. If you don't care too much about a partially malfunctioning google talk, uninstall htclinkifydispatcher. Back it up first (just in case other apps start malfunctioning, for me only google talk is affected, but it may vary for others) and then uninstall. Freezing it will not work.
Hope this helps

Issue with all direct link static images in baconreader. Animated GIFs or where it renders the website too are fine. Also only has an issue on first load, have to zoom or back out and reselect link to make image reappear. Once cached, the image renders fine on a re-read.
Yet to find any combo of Developer options, Display, or stock browser settings (assuming baconreader may render links with stock browser settings) to address that particular problem...
Edit: Recommend deselecting "Open links in app" in baconreader and in other apps if available, if that issue cannot be resolved. Feedback from other ROM users appreciated. May ask the developer about bug.
Edit 2: Stock browser settings have no influence on the issue, app renders direct link images independently.

Yeah I use google talk a lot but not nearly as often as I browse reddit. It's so frustrating trying to watch a YouTube video in chrome instead of the designated app. I think this problem (feature?) alone makes me want aosp more than anything else about sense on ics. Give me freedom to choose my apps!
I found this problem with baconreader and reddit is golden. It's annoying but but I just double tap the imgur and it shows (zooming).
Alot of new updates have been pushed out for the apps most commonly used. Exp: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram Ect. With permissions to access microphone and camera at anytime without you evan knowing as well as reading sms messages idk about yall but seems a bit sketchy to me? Anyone else Experiencing theses as well or has something to say about it?
Hey ever body I'm not sure if anyone else is having the problems I'm having with Facebook messenger but I've tried clearing the cache memory, uninstalling re-installing and nothing helps I actually have the same problem with my PC . When I go to send a message it has taken as much as an hour to send sometimes it doesn't send at all and I've googled my butt off to no avail. I'm hoping someone here has an answer as to how to fix it my S8 is still on 7.0 and it's a Sprint phone if you have any ideas you can either post them here or email me at [email protected] admins sorry if I'm putting in the wrong section
Thanks in advance,
Harry

I have no issues with FB messenger on my T-Mobile S8+, when I send one I get a response within minutes if not sooner. I'm wondering if you have another app on your phone that is causing issues with FB messenger app, not sure what it might be though.

Try these
1st
Settings: Applications: 3 Dots in right corner: Special Access: Optimize Battery Usage: Change view to all apps: Then turn off anything Facebook related.
2nd
Remove accounts and re-sign in
3rd
Verify Sync is enabled and data isn't restricted for those apps
4th
Make sure data saver isn't enabled within Facebook or Messenger app settings
There could be a ton of reasons for this though. If non of the above resolves then most likely it's either carrier data/service related or FB servers. If none of this resolves and it continues much longer I'd suggest opening a support ticket with Facebook as they could get a better idea of what is causing the delay.
O and having multiple active locations signed in can cause you to miss out on notifications and even have delays in sending/receiving messages.

Closing apps isn't a problem nor would cache/data. It would be settings related, account related, or some mixture of both.
FB says to first try removing accounts, wipe data/cache, remove apps (FB & Messenger), then start over. The article was done back in KitKat days but that is the best way to start in narrowing down the "why" aspect.
The article that follows that points to VPN and ad blocking as a potential culprit but I would think that's unlikely in your case.
FB services app including update manager came preinstalled on S7/S7 Edge in which I once had your same issue for a week but using package disabler I wiped those, uninstalled app (FB & Messenger), rebooted, followed by installing again. Fixed the issue and until now hadn't thought of it.

I used app to wipe data on them all and only uninstalled Facebook and Messenger the normal way. Have you changed the battery optimization settings like mentioned in my post a few back? Also account removal is an important step.

So you are unable to remove Facebook or Messenger accounts?
Settings:Cloud and accounts:Accounts:Facebook:3dot in top right corner:Remove.
Did you try the lite version of the messenger?
(white logo, playstore)
